Installing CM7

So, I've decided to upgrade my Defy since I'm still using Eclair, CM7 seems to be the best option now so if anyone can help me out here.
Does Titanium Backup saves the backups on the SD ? Also, I'm doing a backup on my apps, what else should I ? And how do I backup my contacts ?
Where do I get the last stable CM7 version ?
Is this guide and faq up-to-date ?

Thanks.
ps: for brazilian users:
CM7 funciona de boa na Claro ? 3G etc ?

Titanium on sd-yes, backup your apps using titanium. As for contacts, if you have look out app, you can use it or you can use google sync . Settings>accounts> google accouny>sync contacts. Or you can export it to sd card. Or search the market for that

How can I install CM7 RC1 v2?
- Power your phone with Volume Down pressed to enter Stock Recovery,
- Press vol.up+vol.down to show the menu (if you came from eclair, tap lower corner of the screen)
- Then do "Wipe data/Factory reset" and "Wipe cache"
- Reboot from Stock Recovery, IMMEDIATELY press and HOLD Volume Up for 5 seconds, then release to enter Bootloader Mode,
- Make sure drivers and rsd lite have been installed before. | driver for 32bit / driver for 64 bit
- Then plug your usb to computer, open RSD Lite and flash FULL CEE SBF
- Copy CM7 zip, gapps and bootmenu installer 1.7 to your SD Card
- Enable USB Debugging
- Root via SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak
- Reboot
- Install bootmenu installer 1.7 via File Manager, go to the app and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button. Wait for the led turn green.
- Disable USB Debugging, reboot
- Automaticly ended up on bootmenu
- Select custom recovery, "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select CM7, then gapps
- Select "Go Back" then "reboot your system now"
read that, i edit that for you,
because FAQ should be little bit different right now.
-updated link of CM7 RC1 v2
-bootmenu installer 1.7 is fine with CM7 RC1
-new bootmenu doesn't need reboot two times.

Thanks, to both of you

Update:
Installed it yesterday without any issues, thanks for the guide marhensa
So far the only problems I'm having is:
Can't run Plants vs Zombies, it shows the hourglass loading then goes to the home screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15302341#post15302341
And for some reason it didn't saved my contacts on my google account, not that much of a problem since I wasn't using it much, but I thought I'd be able to get the contacts from the SIM card but for some reason it just says it's empty, I've been using this SIM card for about 7 years now, shouldn't it have all the contacts ?

um...
i always use google contacs, it's more efficient,
and you don't loose your contacts when you change the rom, or lost your phone.
but i don't know,
if google turns ugly and evil,
it's seems we have give them lots of our friends' phone number and email.
about plants vs zombie,
i don't know, i'm not install it yet.
but other game runs more smooth and good, because new 3d drivers.

Yeah. I did everything you said in the instructions.

did you ever try leaked gingerbread sbf before?
if yes, you cannot flash froyo sbf directly anymore.

Yep, the 2.3.4. UK Firmware. Is there a tutorial on how to get Froyo back?

exactly..!!
oh mate... i feel sorry for you.
you have to do some extra steps for back to froyo: nandroid backup + fixed sbf.
you cannot use full sbf anymore.
you can ask walter or some sharp folks here.
i am mobile now, can't guide you this morning, have to go.. sorry.

Downgrade to Froyo with Nandroid Backup + Fixed SBF

what you have to do right now,
you go and search edited leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 sbf for that.
the edited sbf gingerbread 2.3.4 automatically rooted.
but the problem is i don't have the link for that.
but i'm sure i ever see that in this forum.
why you have to search that edited 2.3.4 sbf?
because normal leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 can't be rooted!
if you cannot root, you can't install custom recovery..
if you cannot install recovery, you cannot restore froyo nandroid backup!
and froyo nandroid backup + froyo fixed sbf is the only hope right now.
sorry mate..
next time be prepared and be careful to read the warnings.

hey astroblasto,
come in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15341774&postcount=8
he just have the same epic problem of yours.
i wrote the tutorial how to back to Froyo after accidentaly flashing full sbf leaked gingerbread.
maybe it's just better to focus on one thread.
god!!
i forgot something!
you should recheck the tutorial, it's updated.
marhensa said:
GOD! i'm so sloppy.
i forget to add this line:
- select backup/restore, select restore, then select Froyo CEE Nadroid EDIT
go check the tutorial again,
sorry..
glad you haven't yet to that step, thats important!

So, I'm having a bit of a issue here, when I try to use APN it's only connecting through Edge, not 3G.
I went to my operator website and it states that there is 3G coverage on the 850MHz band on my area, does CM7 supports 850MHz ? If it does do I have to do any tweaking for it to work ?

use baseband switcher app to switch your suited baseband.

5. is there cm7 2.3 country specfic. where will i get a fixed-cm7 version so that i can downgrade to stock froyo later.

Ok it's pretty simple. Do following.
1.> Root the device using 2ndInit
2.> Create nanodroid backup
3.> Make sure you turn off USB Debugging
4.> Reboot to enter Bootmenu (Press Volu+ when you get blue light)
5.> go to Custom Recovery> backup and restore> Backup. This will take sometime.
6.> Choose Wipe data/Factory Reset (you will lose all data, apps etc)
7.> Select Wipe cache partition and then go to Advanced > Wipe Delvik Cache
8.> Go back and then select install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard
9.> Then select the Zip from the SD card and say Yes
Wait for sometime, reboot and you're done.
After this is done, you can user gapps.zip to install the google applications.

thanks to the post @mandhir.

You need froyo 2.2 in order to upgrade to CM7. Since CM7 uses the same Froyo kernel you can downgrade any time you want. A nandroid backup is adviced incase you arent impressed with the changes and want your phone back in the previous state.

That's exactly what a nandroid backup is.
Sent from my ME525+ using Tapatalk

method 1 was deviced at the time when there's no official froyo available, and it's now outdated. it was for you to upgrade from eclair to fixed froyo sbf since cm7 requires froyo. just ignore that since you already have official froyo in your phone.
you will also come across some old posts mentioned doing a nandroid backup of eclair and flashing a fixed froyo before cm7 incase you need to downgrade back to eclair for warranty purposes. that's out of date too since you can now do that with official froyo.
so just start from method 2 and you'll be right. and make sure you run defy basebandswitcher in the app page to select the correct baseband for your phone/carrier. this very important step is missing in the instructions unfortunately, and caused me some frustrations and nearly given up on cm7
edit: if you have a lot of apps in your phone now and want to port them into cm7, do a backup using apps like titanium backup etc. it's different from nandroid backup which is like an image clone of your current phone state.

@ryan thanks. nw i understood thing more clearly .. cm7 requires froyo kernel. Bt somepost i read to use an Froyo Ceee jordan version (i dnt remeber the term completely
) if u cant upgrade succesfully to cm7 from ur stick froyo .. I hopes it wont happen to me ..
@jh20 thanks a lot man . i nw it clear like water for me . seems i shuld have checked the posted date along with reading those old ones..
i had a misunderstading that titanium is used to take nanndroid backup and from there all the doubts started ..
im posting what i understood
Titanium backp will only contain apps and user settings which cant be used to directly flash as ROM . it used to restore the data to phone after installing or reseting the same OS on which backup is made.
While nanndroid backup is an image of the existing OS with all the uset settings and app so u can restore it anytime . this will be helpfull f cm7 is nt satisfying ur need..

is cm7 for defy is a Full-sbf or fixed SBF ?? . I wish to have a downgradabilty feature if cm7 2.3 wont work fine and i can switch back to stock froyo .. where will i get a fixed SBF of Cm7. all the post contains a zip file without specfying its fixed or Full. shuld i take care anythng special for a downgradable option ..

they are all fixed sbf.
(edit: actually i think they are nandroid backups and not fixed sbf, sorry)
those that are not downgradable will be mentioned specifically in their first post.
i've nandroid backups of cm7, miui, and stock froyo. i can switch between them anytime i want, just like clone image backups of my pc
btw i think they should have called it "patched" sbf instead, as "fixed" can be confusing. when i first saw it i thought it meant the rom is fixed and can't be altered/downgraded which is just the opposite of what it's supposed to mean

A fixed SBF is flashed in order to provide the missing kernel in a rom( and other stuff). But since you're already on a froyo kernel you wont need it, as CM7 requires the same. It is it proposed to use a Nordic froyo as base for better performance but you can use any official froyo as base to upgrade to CM7.

@ryan thanks friend.it was de direct answer. i thought the "fixed" wont have those two partitions which store version number so that they wont be formated and overwritten and thus keep downgradabilty .( gt this from defy guide @ xda ) .. didnt thought abt the kernel part ..
so now i feel its easy than it seems to be if i can switch between os with the nandroid backup . my defy has now 1 gb free . dat it it took total 1gb with app an OS. how much space nandroid will it take .. im using an 8gb card. and i have all apps backup. (not settings).
and how u feel cm7 .. doest it made any bug to u . i dnt have feel any bug at my froyo 2.2.2???
im planing to use this link RC1.5 Here:http://www.multiupload.com/217FS9PYDC from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13279140&postcount=1
is that ok for me ??
once again thanks all ..

i don't use any extra apps and my stock froyo nandroid backup is 357mb with all the motoblur stuff, while cm7 110909 nightly is 226mb. so the size depends on how many apps and data you have i guessed.

Ok .. nw in india we dnt have Moto Blur .and apps take only 200mb (nw free memory is 1000mb showing) as free memory for user is 1200 on factory reset.
another term that came to my mind is "nightly" what it actually means.. I thinks it a custamised form of stable cm7 .. r8 ? can u post some screenshots on defy .. i cant find anysuch thing ..

no, nightly as the name suggested is a nightly updated version. that's right, they work on the rom just about every day! and the daily updated rom file is updated to the jordan-cm7_nightly folder:
http://defy.tanguy.tk/
once a nightly rom is good enough it will be uploaded to the jordan-nightly folder. that's why the jordan-nightly folder has less files than the jordan-cm7_nightly folder.
so if you want to be safe, you should use only nightly roms from the nightly folder. cm7-nightly folder is for the brave as some of them may not be stable or still has known/unfixed bugs. infact i know for the fact the 110912 rom was pulled from the list because it did not work. and notice that there are some nights missing too for some reason
then once they are satisfied that a rom is good enough to be a major release, it becomes the rc, like rc0, rc1 and rc1.5.

That's not true.
Fixed SBF means the Code Group 39 and 31 has been removed from the SBF so it wont flash upper CG versions, and therefore killing your downgrade ability.
You need to use a Nandroid backup after a Fixed SBF is to provide the corresponding Files that "should have been flashed" by the CG39/31.
You cannot change the Kernel, that's locked by Motorola, and we are just using Modules attached to the official Moto Kernel. but nothing more sadly.
And dont worry about bricking your phone, is almost impossible unless you disconnect your phone on a critical point/remove battery while flashing with RSD Lite, like creating partitions or something like that.
The worst that can happen is getting stuck past Boot up logo, which means you just have to start again and flash with RSD

You can restore your nandroid and get back on froyo whenever you wanna throw it into the warranty. Dont worry theres not an option to brick the phone and it isn't that easy anyway. Remember to only wipe data/cache through custom recovery , never use the stock recovery and you should be fine.

[Guide] Install double boot CM7 + CM9

Here's a simple guide for CM7 users, to install CM9 as a test rom AND keep their CM7 ROM as a main ROM​
EDIT (01/04/2012):Guide updated according to new versions of multiboot. Also works for CM10!
DUE TO KERNEL INCOMPATIBILITIES, MY GUIDE IS FOR PEOPLE WHO INSTALL CM9 +CM7 WITH THE SAME KERNEL. (EX: CM7 FROYO KERN + QUARX CM9 FOR FROYO KERN)
This guide is tested and approved on froyo kernels.
First: I suggest you backup your rom before doing anything, but there's no danger don't worry
first download and simply place on your SD-Card these files:
m11kkaa's multiboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
This will allow us to lauch our main ROM normaly, and when we want to, launch our 2nd rom (which will be CM9 =D)​
Epsylon3's or Quark's latest version of CM9:
http://defy.wdscript.fr/
Or
http://quarx2k.ru/
Google Apps (optional):
http://goo-inside.me/gapps
Place all 2/3 zips on SD-card.
Download 3filesystem images that will be your virtual partitions for CM9 on Sdcard:
www.mediafire.com/?vvkmy2tx4yeg32m
extract them, and place all 3 of them under /multiboot/CM9 in SDcard
You can also use the app called multibootmanager to do this
Warning: these partitions have size limits (300mb each). Don't run out of space!
People who know how to can create their own partitions, any size they want, threads exist for that
Here are the instructions:
DO NEVER WIPE DATA DURING PROCESS, IT IS NOT NEEDED
1) Go into Bootmenu
2) Choose "recovery ->" to go to the recovery choice menu
3) MAKE SURE you have:
"Custom Recovery" OR "Latest Recovery"
"Stable Recovery"
"Stock Recovery"
4) Choose "Stable Recovery"
6) Install Zip from SD-Card: multiboot_vXXXX.zip
7) REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
8) When you get the blue led, press Vol. Down, you will be in the Bootmenu.
-Choose boot->Set Default->2nd-init
-Go back once
-choose [2nd-system] to boot into the 2nd system menu.
- Here is where you will be able to select 2nd roms to boot. If you put the files on the SDcard in the right place (see above), you should see them in the menu. Other choices are "boot from nand","recovery" or "reboot".
- Choose Recovery(CWM), and then select which rom you want to apply the modifications (CM9). You will now reboot into a recovery for your virtual system.
9) a) Install zip from sdcard: CM9!!! =D
9)b) (OPTIONNAL): install google apps
10) Wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reboot system.
11) Done! reboot. If you want to launch CM9 just press Vol. Down on blue led, boot into 2nd system like above and select CM8 to boot it.
Booting any virtual ROM will take a few minutes, sd cards are slower, and this will be first boot.​
Enjoy Epsilon's, Quark's, m11kkaa's and walter79's great work!​
Originally Posted by m11kkaa
Some info:
- After installation, The recoveries under the 2nd system multiboot menu is for your virtual system and "Stable Recovery" for your real system
- you can restore any backup or install any zip in "Lastest Recovery" and it will go into your virtual system
- boot the virtual system with the 2ndsystem-option in bootmenu

Tutorial video made by Yamandude:
http://youtu.be/aqdQSusw2zw
If one day you don't want CM9 again, simply remove the folder /fsimages/ from your SDcard.
I suggest you keep them in case, you may change your mind one day
You now have double boot, and CM7, and CM9 on your same phone!!!!

Troubleshooting:​
My main ROM works, but i get a bootloop with CM9
In latest recovery: wipe cache + Dalvik cache. If you still get a bootloop then wipe data too. ​

Are u shore u flash multiboot from custo/latest recov?

It IS from custom and NOT latest recovery (step 4). Your "guide" is incorrect and if you ask me, makes things even more complicated than they are...sorry.
In what way is this needed amyway?; there's already a multi-boot thread.
No warning about NOT wiping data in latest recovery...Nothing about the size and limits of the 3 image files...

"Custom recovery" as we know today used to be called "latest recovery" a few months ago. The name changed so i mentionned both names in case people get confused if i say only one and they see the other. What is important is checking if you have three recoveries, not the way you call them.
Seen as CM9 is for test purposes, i doubt that warning not to install to much apps on the Second ROM is very relevant. Even though i will take into account your comment

If you flash multiboot.zip in the stable mod, you'll change mount settings for your 2nd init partition, and then it will be your main rom that will load from sdcard. I tried this and unfortunately my main com became CM9, and it is not what we want ^^.

In fact, my bad: I meant "stable" not custom. m11kkaa multiboot is to be installed in stable recovery and never in latest.
Never wipe data in latest recovery or android secure will be erased and your main boot apps will stop working.
There are incompatibilities between some roms: MSGinger will not work with ics..

And i don't know about wajkiui, but there's is a problem with MSGinger though; so be warned!
Just give it a shot anyway... but if there was ever a reason to make a nandroid backup of your current build before jumping into something, I think multiboot calls for it...
L.E.: and while I think about it: one drawback I've noticed from multiboot is that once you boot back into your main rom, the battery stats are screwed up (or to the state they were when you left for the 2nd-boot). So give your phone a nice long charge to fix this or don't complain about eventual steep battery drop...[/QUOTE]

If you flash multiboot.zip in the stable mod, you'll change mount settings for your 2nd init partition, and then it will be your main rom that will load from sdcard. I tried this and unfortunately my main com became CM9, and it is not what we want ^^.

That is incorrect...that's how I did (and others and how m11kkaa's instructions were at first _ I believe) and CM7 IS my main boot and ics my 2nd boot. And multiboot zip most probably can be install with both when you think about it. It's ICS that you absolutely need to install in latest/custom recovery... that was my last comment here good luck with this thread.

I wouldn't bother with uninstalling the multiboot function. But if you don't want to use your 2nd rom anymore simply take the /fsimages/ folder of your sdcard.
If one day you change your mind, copy them back . Multiboot may go away if you change anything to do with bootmenu in your main ROM (CM7).
Remember: if you don't want the 2nd Boot anymore, simply take the partitions under /fsimages/ off your card
P.S. You should have a chat with epsylon and m11kkaa about the issues you mentionned

Your welcome =)

I tested CM9 and deleted /fsimages.
I reflashed many times using SBF, fixed SBF, omg, at least ten times.
And my CM7 (a new instance) does not save the language I choose after a reboot.
And any keyboard except the built-in one also hangs (The application has stopped etc).
Help, I need to fix it back =( I just cannot understand why I reflashed all the things thoroughly and still I can't get just the normal CM7 back =(

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
However, its basically what I already did, but did it again anyway, and same result.
Getting stuck on the blue cyanogen screen. It must be CM7 file, although these are all the same files I'm using from my first sucessful installation.
I remember being stuck at the same point, but not sure how I resolved it.
Do you know if it would be OK to make a backup of the CM7 from my working phone, and install it on this other Defy?

Edit: OK, tried my last suggestion. Not good. Have a working CM7, but no signal, when I check the IMEI on the phone using *#06#, it shows as all zero's, which may explain the problem.

Try baseband switcher app which is in CM itself and try switching to your region
Strictly follow these steps:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Flash froyo (SBF using RSD lite)
2. Copy *.zip to sdcard
3. Reboot your device in BootMenu/ClockWork
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5. Install the *zip
6. reboot

Hold on the above post for a minute,
Enter boot menu,
Go stable recovery,
Wipe data,
Wipe cache,
Wipe dalvik(under advanced)
The rom should boot easy,
Then use baseband switcher (some cm have it installed) choose the frequency to work with your phone ie if the phone was for 850/2100 use a 850/2100 baseband

Well said!!

Thanks for the replies guys. However, I just flashed the standard SBF again after the blank IMEI issue. So back to square one again.
Are you both suggesting I should use the backup ROM from my other phone, then use the baseband switcher to get the signal back?
If so that would be much easier, as I know my backup ROM works fine.

That would work fine as long as you are using froyo kernel for both, so my suggestion is this
Root
Install 2nd init
Go to recovery on you working cm defy and back up everything (cache data system boot recovery and only leave pds, )
Copy the images to your blank factory defy,
Restore all Tue images you just made - remember no pds,
Should boot 1st go
Then if your doing it for someone else re enter recovery and wipe data,
All this is done via the 2nd init recovery
teamwork makes the dream work

Thanks, once again I appreiciate your help, just a couple of things in your last set of instructions:
1. Whats pds? Can't see an option to leave that.
2. Tue images?
Edit:
Ok should have at least looked into PDs before I asked.
But Tue images? Still not sure on that.
1st backup off working phone, excluding pds hasn't changed. For some reason, it saying it cannot find system.img, andriod_secure.img and cache.img. But I only copied over the clockworkmod backup folder. I think I saw the android_secure folder elsewhere, so will go back on that.

OK contents of backup folder from working cm7 defy are:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext3.tar
data.ext3.tar
devtree.img
nadroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext3.tar
There is no system.img, android_secure.img and cache.img on this folder, hence why the restore cannot find those files.
I'm checking versions of clockworkmod recovery are the same on both phones, thats the only thing I can think is making it different. Checked, same versions.
I seem to be having more sucess, trying my install of cm7, where it gets to the blue logo screen, then running the restore. However, still no signal. I don't seem to have the baseband switcher option in my version. Any direct links to the latest cm7 build, as the one on the link from Rajneeshgadge17, is down.

SUCCESS!
Thanks for your patience adamo3957 and Rajneeshgadge17.
I eventually went for a complete fresh install of everything, downloading the same version of cm7 I already had even, just to check that. Now up and running :thumb:
Now, I just need to sort the other Defy I killed when atempting the macguyver fix!

Download CM7.1.0 from below mentioned link:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan
Follow the same steps as mentioned in the above article ans share the results.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Flash froyo

3. Reboot your device in BootMenu/ClockWork
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940677 OP

Thank you for your reply. I am a total noob. how do I use Odin??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

BEFORE YOU START. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS ANY OF THESE STEPS MAY CAUSE. ALWAYS FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Note: Suggestions, comments & questions are welcome. Will improve as much as needed.
1. BACKUP. There are many apps you can find to backup any data. Backup all data you'll want to keep until you're 100% satisfied then move it to a folder on your PC. Personally, I use Titanium Backup Pro and backup everything to Google Drive.
2. DOWNLOAD. A GB kernel, rooted AT&T ROM/Rogers ROM, stock ICS leak, CWM, and then go to the CM10 thread and grab the latest build of the ROM & Gapps. So you should have 6 files total. To make your life easier, put them all in 1 folder.
3. ROOT. Turn off your phone. Hold the top part of the volume rocker and turn on the phone. It should boot into download mode if done correctly. Connect phone to PC via USB. On your PC, install & open Odin. Click on PDA and locate your GB kernel. Then click start & wait. If successful, you should see green and you'll be rooted. I believe whenever you use ODIN, it is called a 'flash.' I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, go back into download mode and now place the rooted ROM in the PDA section followed by clicking start again. When the phone is done booting, go to the Play store and get Superuser app. This allows you to give permission to operations that require root. Make sure it is updated!
4. CLEAN. Now you'll want to wipe your phone to minimize the chances of anything going wrong. Instead of holding the top part of the volume rocker, you'll hold the bottom. Then hold it as you start the phone. This is the stock recovery menu. I don't remember precisely what the options are called but you will want to wipe cache, dalvik, data and system.
5. UPDATE OS. Time to open up that stock ICS leak. When open, it should appear similar to Odin. Make sure your phone is in download mode again, connected via USB and click start again. You'll notice that your phone might take a while to boot up. It'll be updating files and apps so be patient.
6. CWMR. After it's all booted up, time to go back to download mode again. In ODIN, you'll want to click on PDA again and this time flash the CWMR file. Click start and you're done in no time.
7. CLEAN AGAIN. Now you'll want to turn off your phone and boot the phone holding the bottom of the rocker. You'll boot into CWMR. Time to wipe and format again. You'll find the first 2 wipe options on the first page. The wiping of dalvik cache will be in the ADVANCED menu. Then you'll want to go into the MOUNTS AND STORAGE menu. Format system, cache & data.
8. CM10. Now while still in CWMR, you'll need to go into the MOUNTS AND STORAGE menu and select MOUNT USB STORAGE. You'll want to connect your phone to your PC with the USB. Place the CM10 and Gapps files in the main directory of your PHONE'S INTERNAL STORAGE. Select UNMOUNT on your phone, disconnect from USB and now you'll want to go to the option INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD.. then go to the CHOOSE.. option and select the final fruit of your labor, CM10. When it's done doing it's thing, REBOOT SYSTEM. Be patient and let everything load.
9. GAPPS. After everything has loaded, you want to turn off the phone and boot into CWMR one last time. Go to INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD, CHOOSE ZIP and flash that Gapps file. Then REBOOT SYSTEM.
10. RESTORE. Reinstall the app you used to backup your stuff, move your backup files you put on the PC back to it's rightful place and restore. You should be good to go.

Thank you for doing this!
Just checking - is there not a thread / guide for this elsewhere already? (Or am I confusing versions - not for the first time, with xda-developers!)
Suggestions:
- move this to the start of a new thread where you can reserve the first 3 posts, you can update/edit it, etc.
1. BACKUP:
- it would be useful to mention CWMR backup. (i.e. Botch it, restore the image, try again.)
- I like not leaving people hanging and at least mentioning TB as you have so they have a search path to follow. It would be worth mentioning that TB Free will be 'good enough' to keep them safe (one time) through this process. [But long term / good app / scheduling makes TB Pro worthwhile.]
- Making TB and CWMR a link would be useful, and not just a link to the 'product' page, but link to a thread that describes how to do so. 'Product' links will be contained within them. It's all very well to get a link to what a beastie is, but frequently knowing what it is, and how to put it into practice are two different things. Linking to a thread of the latter type would be the useful one.
3. ROOT
- one of the problems when talking about ODIN is the perception left that it is a single thing. So saying 'ODIN (PC)' would be useful here. Whether you point out that it talks to the ODIN (client?) already built in to the PDA is up to you.
4. UPDATE OS:
- don't you want to be talking about the alpha/beta dudejb version here?
5. CWMR
- wouldn't you want to do this first? See Backup comments, above.
- is this even necessary? It's a VERY GOOD IDEA, but is CWMR needed to run the phone 'stock' (CM10)?
7. CM10
- links / explanations are going to be useful here.
- e.g. There's a lot of talk of subsequent steps, such as backlight fix. You might want to note such is already built in, or not. (As people read they come across these additional fixes, and it's not always apparent that months later someone built the fixes in already. It's easy to go in circles trying to get a coherent, whole, current, view of the world.)
SD Card management - first you TB Backup, then you wipe the SD Card (or so a quick glance appears). I know you haven't actually said that, but some explicit clarity may be helpful.

Thanks for the suggestions and good question. I don't think there are any guides out there.. but this is just from how I did it. Tried to make it as simple as I could without adding branching steps. Also, it's very narrow because I can only speak on behalf of the what worked for me. If there's a big need for this to be in a thread of it's own, I'll gladly make one.
-I didn't mention CWMR backup for two reasons. I didn't use it and I don't rely on it. Perhaps I should mention it anyway though regardless.
-Never used dudejb's version so I didn't list it.
-Needed CWMR at that point to install CM10 & Gapps zips. I think you can also use Odin but doing it via CWMR gives him a chance to familiarize himself with what he'll be using to flash future versions.
-Didn't put links to CM10 since he already knows where it is and can most likely read the fixes & not-fixed list himself.

Thanks RogerNIZZLE I appreciate the guide and I believe a lot of other ppl will too.
There is one hiccups i'm coming across. After I wipe, data, cache, dalvik cache,
I **format data, format cache, format system** then when it reboot and it just stays at the
start up screen that shows SAMSUNG. I let it sit for 5 but nothing happens, its still
on SAMSUNG. I've repeated the steps a few times? Is there any suggestions on what I can do?

Hm. Do steps 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. Sorry! All hope is not lost.

Do steps 4,5 and then copy the cm10 and gapps to you phone internal memory. Then follow step 6. Lastly install cm10 and gapps together and reboot you phone.

@roger:
You should start a thread, and I'll request to get it stickied. This could help a lot of new users.
One thing I would add - before flashing ICS, wipe system data cache dalvik (either with stock recovery or cwmr). Then boot into download and flash ICS.

Okie dokie, I will do this after work.

Did you know you don't have to tell at us... once you learn that. I'd like to say there won't be an official cm10 because the official cm secs think our phone runs on different hardware than it actually does and thinks they can get the phys. keyboard working.
