So,Now all i want to know the easiest and safest Way To Install CM7(stable) if possible then please provide the link thnxx in advance
Help me

Yes its rooted, but, to install Custom ROMs, you will need to install a Custom Recovery (ie Clockworkmod).
There are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Fastboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I have only used the Fastboot method so far, so if you need further assistance, just ask.
BTW, Both the above methods need S-OFF using AlphaRev X. If you are not having S-OFF, then simply use Unrevoked to install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Recovery install is complete, follow this post to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7:

@xeno
Heyy thanx for replying "3xeno"
Just few minutes ago i installed titanium backup when this app starts
it's showing Root access : FAILED
And a msg popped up : "Sorry,i could not acquire root privileges - This Application will "not" work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox,and try again
Please Help me what the hell is happening ??

Got Superuser App in your App Drawer? Also, what exactly did you do to root your device? Did you use AlphaRev X or use Unrevoked?

Yup I got superuser automatically in app drawer and i used alpharev X

Weird, Then try installing Busybox from within Titanium Backup. (Press Menu Key, then Press "Problems", It''ll download Busybox).
Also, can you explain what all procedures you followed after getting S-OFF using AlphaRev X?

and bro one thing more
One minute ago i installed SHootme app and this app also asked me for superuser priveleges I allowed it and it worked...shootme app is working i don't know y titanium app is sayin like that ??

And yaa The method u posted in ur 1st post i hve already done that...i hve installed it via PC49IMG

Okay, well since you've got recovery you are now able to install custom ROM's.
Download the one you want (Cyanogenmod gives good performance),
put on your sdcard,
boot recovery (turn off, hold volume down and press power, use volume down to navigate to recovery, press power).
Backup stock ROM from backup & restore.
Wipe dalvic cache in advanced menu, wipe boot, data, system, cache in mounts and storage.
Then install zip from sdcard. Voila.

Okey Thnx bortak but y that titanium app is not able to get priveleges from superuser
and how come other rooted app like shootme is working this app also asked for priveleges from superuser and i allowed and it worked..??
And Is there any risk in installing CM7 ??

Titanium backup not giving you root previlages whereas other app gave. There is a possibility that you accidentally denied the "root permission" of titanium backup when you opened it for 1st time. As it will be in a remembered state it might be the issue. Open "superuser" from app drawer and check the root permission status of titanium backup. Another suggestion is to update the Su binary from superuser app. Then download busybox installer from market and install busybox from that. Then open titanium backup.
There is absolutely no risk in installing cm7. But do make nandroid backup of your current rom so that you can revert back anytime if you don't like it.

CM7 is an AOSP ROM, so obviously there will not be Sense in that, which is the proprietary of HTC. Refer this thread for lists on ROMs:

You are not getting me. CM7 is an AOSP ROM. AOSP stands for the Android Open Source Project, and is intended to be the base where Google releases their Android Source Code (Android is an open source OS after all).
CM7 is based on that. Obviously, Sense is an HTC Product, and hence is not a part of AOSP. If you want Sense, you will have to get a Sense ROM. Sense will NOT work on ANY AOSP ROM. I hope this is clear to you.
Again, refer the ROM list I gave you the link to in the previous post, I have segregated it based on whether a ROM is based on Sense or based on AOSP.
If you want Sense, you cannot use CM7.
For your 2nd query, yes, installing process is as you have described. However, make sure you perform a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod before installing a new ROM to prevent issues.

Ok Sir I got You Thanx For Ur Help
I appreciate it...!!
And can u tell me how to install Android Market Cuz In app drawer i can't find market ?

If you are on CM7, you will need to flash an additional GApps Package (Google Apps), which will give you Android Market. You can download it here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Look for
gapps-gb-20110613.zip or
gapps-gb-20110307.zip
Flashing procedure remains the same. Place file on your SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above zip.

[Q] Help! Stuck on white HTC screen after installing root!

So I installed CWM recovery, and installed the rmk root setup zip. Before I installed it, I wiped the cache but not the Dalvik cache. When I rebooted, it hung on the white HTC screen. I went back into recovery and wiped dalvik cache, cache and even data and settings, then installed the zip again and it still hangs. can somebody help me? Honestly at this point I just want to be able to use my phone again.
Thanks in advance

Did you install the root zip that included the froyo stock kernel? I made the same mistake. Just have to adb a compatible 2.3 kernel into your sdcard and flash it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
i'm pretty sure this is the zip i used. if thats what you're talking about, then how do I fix it?

You cant use that .zip because it uses the Froyo kernal which is incompatible. You have to push jcase's GB kernal to your sd card then flash that.

I'm sorry for the stupid question, and thank you so much for your help, but where can i find that? and what commands do I use to push the kernel to the phone?

Have no fear as long as you can get into CWM then you are still good.
How long does it hang, sometimes it takes a few minutes for that HTC screen to go away, especially if you wiped data. you might want to wait, a little bit.
You can always download a stock rom(jcase plainjane rom), get into CWM, and then mount your USB to be able to install from your computer, and then flash the new rom.
Did you make a backup before you flashed the update, you can always recover.

If you can get into CWM, look for Mounts/Storage and mount your USB so you can access your Phones SD card from your computer, then transfer the file from your computer to your phone.
or use adb if you are familiar with that.

you did get S-Off first right?

yes i have s-off, no i did not make a recovery (i wasnt aware i could do that before i rooted but i have come to terms with the fact that I lost a bunch of data).
okay, so i put the file on my sd card and... what? is it a zip file? where can i find it?
just so i understand, once I get this rooted kernel, i will be rooted and i will be able to install the cwm app and go from there?

and i don't necessarily want the stock rooted... i guess i could go from there but for right now could i download a 2.3 kernel with a different rom? are kernels bundled with roms or do i need to install them separately?
sorry, i'm a new user so i keep having to wait 5 minutes...

Kernels, can be rom specific or bundled but currently for the dinc2 there arent a lot so make sure it doesnt say it belongs to a specific rom otherwise it might not work.
Jcase has a stock kernel and rom he put up a while back for gingerbread.
They will be a .zip file and all you have to do is using recovery choose zip file and run it, since you already deleted everything.
When you install a rom, it will add su and busybox, and root your phone. You need your phone rooted to be able to do anything, after S-off.
if you have recovery installed then you have CWM and really what you want is Rom Manager to do backups.

tiamat kernel is an AOSP kernel. for CM7/MIUI/OM(F)GB
you'll get bootloops if you flash it on a sense rom.

so should i flash that, then flash something like MIUI? can i do that? and do i have to wipe data/cache/dalvik before the kernel AND before i install MIUI?
thanks

I would get a Rom working first which is your OS, the kernel jut says how it should run.

but apparently i have a froyo kernel installed right now? how should I fix that?

If you install a new rom, it will overwrite whatever kernel you have, so you might just want to install this....

no need room manager.. if you have official froyo, just root your defy with superoneclick.. and then you just neet to download app called "2ndinit" from market.. install, reboot and youll see you custom recovery..

Make SURE you don't have 2ndinit and CWM/Rom Manager running at the same time! You'll end up in an infinite boot-loop!!!
If your defy is un-modified right now you should get superoneclick from the store and root your phone. (You install superoneclick on your PC) If you have already modified/rooted you still want Manager to make a backup.
After rooting, install Rom Manager. I really like this program and it makes checking out different ROM's a breeze.
For instance: I have 3 different backup files saved right now... One is a bare, non-rooted 2.2.2 Froyo; one is an initial, rooted load of CM7; and the third is my current, app-loaded, theme loaded, all menu settings where I want backup.
When Rom Manager says it can't flash clockworkmod recovery, just say you have installed your own, and I chose v3.
Use the Manager to do a system backup!
Use Manager to download and install a rom. Or you can download a .zip file from wherever and put it on the SD card and tell Manager to install it.

[Q] How to update Gio stock 2.3.3 to CM9?

Hello forum-members!
I have a question I really want to ask: How can I update my Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 from stock 2.3.3 to CyanogenMod 9.0.0?
With CM9, I mean the version for Gio, as found on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
At the moment, my mobile is like this:
Firmware: stock 2.3.3
PDA: S5660XXKPS
PHONE: S5660XXKPA
CSC: S5660XENKP1
Rooted using the update.zip-methode, installed Titanium Backup
ClockWorkMod-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 installed (But I still have a problem with it, it says things like 'E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command' and 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log', no idea if I have to fix this or not...)
So, how can I update this stock 2.3.3 to CM9? I only have a lot of experience with jailbreaking, but not with flashing ROMS and installing special Android tools, so a bit of step-by-step guide.
If you think updating to CM7 is better for me, since that's a more complete ROM, please say it, which CM7 ROM, and how it can be done
I hope someone is able to help me, as I would really like to use a nice ROM on my Gio

You should use cm7.2, its stable and fast..

Note that cm9 is not in beta 3 but alpha status.
You can flash cm7, same instructions as cm9, much more stable.
Try installing a different version of CWM and restore
Or read tutorials how to use ODIN and flash stock rom

I was already planning to flash CM7 now, but there was only one thing I was still wondering about.
The Cyanogenmod 7 instructions topic says:
NOTE:
It's not automatically wipe your data. if you want to install fresh rom, you must wipe data before install it!
If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. link & instruction can fount on This Thread. otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem!
have problem after upgrade from earlier cyanogenMod? you should wipe your data!!

I flashed the file ext4-formatter.zip and afterwards, I tried flashing CM9 again, and it worked!

Oh, that would be really nice! I bought my phone in my own country (The Netherlands) and my carrier is BEN NL (part of T-Mobile in The Netherlands). But if it might help: I posted my baseband version etc. in my first post of this topic

Cm9 booted??? All firmware is on sammobile.net , also kies firmwares, but the site is not connected to samsung
By the way if you used ext4 formatter zip you use an version of cwm wich has been removed back to construction to bugs, so you should use another one, in the same thread

[Q] Some questions to make it clear

Hello, i'm using htc desire with stock rom, 2.3 android os, And i started to think about newer android version on my htc desire. Which one is better for my phone, ice cream sandwich or jelly bean? Ofc i know that jelly bean is newer than ICS but maybe it is bugged or smth. And is there any bugs on ICS for desire? Is it the right choice to make my desire of newer android version?
Thanks for answers.

Right now, Jelly Bean is more developed than ICS.

Where can i find tutorial?

To install jellybean first find a ROM that you like in the dev forum. The ROM in my sig is nice.
Download the ROM and put it on your SD
Boot into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, and factory reset/data
Then choose zip from SD and pick the ROM you downloaded

Now it seems much easier of your explain, thanks. But first i need to root it and i think that i need use revolutionary and still try to understand how. U know, for me, newbie, when its written pretty hard its confusing to make something bad and to break my phone.

And is this rom the right choice? -->>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441

yes, you need to root your phone and install a recovery first. Revolutionary also gives you s-off which is good
Basically this is what you have to do:
-install drivers for your pc
-connect your phone and run revolutionary
-revolutionary will s-off your phone and install i custom recovery (i think cwm)
-download and copy the root.zip file onto your sd card
-boot your phone into recovery and flash the root.zip
-after all of that your phone will be s-off, rooted, and have a custom recovery
For all the downloads and more info look here:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Once that is done successfully you can then flash a rom.
The rom you linked is good, but after trying all of vijendrahs jellybean roms i found this one to be the best:

Should i download with GApps or without?
God, i hope it will work..

Where is the root.zip file to download? Or maybe it calls "Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed" which i found on that website.

when i open revolutionary it says "waiting for device" and nothing more, phone is connected...
solved

did you download the drivers? http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
and heres the root zip: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
also make sure usb debugging is on.

Ok,man, done everything with rooting, is better to flash rom with gapps or without them?

All the rooting/s-off/recovery stuff went well? Just wondering, did revolutionary install clockwordmod?
As for your gapps question, it doesnt matter.
The only difference is that if you choose a rom without gapps included, you will have to flash them seperately...not really that big of an issue though.
Heres how to install this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070704):
-download the rom and gapps package from the thread and put them on your sd card
-reboot into recovery
-make a backup
-click wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advanced>wipe dalvik
-choose zip from sdcard
-choose the rom zip and flash it
-choose zip from sdcard again
-choose the gapps zip and flash it

All rooting/s-off and etc went well, now after all wipes im installing the rom and im little bit praying too
