1. Flashing mean u flash (upgrade or downgrade) ur OS version. Rooting mean u become a superuser for ur phone. If u don't know what is rooting for, u should looking into the forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397120
2. Flash to stock rom and unroot ur phone.
3. On stock rom u can backup using KIES. Or native backup from phone. On custom rom u can used CWM to made nandroid backup. ( look into forums )
4. Yes, a risk always.. but as long u follow the step from, it won't hurt ur phone.

If you are a beginner, I suggest not to flash cm9.
Its in beta
I recommend to use stock first, root it and tweak it.

Hi, so from like a month ago i try to get flash player working on my gio, I tryed every flash player from this forum and I searched on google too, but nothing. I just can't make it work. I every time do it how the instructions say and when I'm done i double check to see if I did something wrong, but no ! I make everything correct every time but flash player isn't working! What do I need to do to make it work?

Upgrading to 2.3 maybe
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

You need Flash Player on smartphone? I honestly see no purpose. Even on PC.

Search "adobe flash player armv6" on google and download, it's working also, upgrade to 2.3 if you can

I will not upgrade cause if my phone broke or something my dad will be very angry cause he bought me the phone and I don't risk, I want to upgrade but my dad won't let me! And iok1 I tryed it's not working!

Just follow the instructions Kies gives you.. You'll be fine..

Ok installed kies and plugged in my phone and it says new firmware update aviable and I just follow the instructions and when it's done the android is updated?
And will this remove the root? And should I take off the SD card?

So you managed to updated your phone to 2.3.3 ? If you did that now you have to root your phone again and go to "big thread for new users" in Galaxy Gio General forums. There you have a link on how to instal flash to your device.

And I can't find CWM 7.2

* I know its based on cm9 and cm roms lagy but with this rom I didn't found any lag and if my phone lag it lags a little..
But I had a problem with it and the problem is root... I don't have root
So can you help me with root ??

Which recovery do you use?
And you can try to re-flash the ROM.
And did you ever had an other ROM? And did you ever had this problem before?

First try updating to CWM 5.0.2.7
And if that fails try the original Samsung firmware for a newer baseband on your GIO and then you have to root and then you have to re-flash CWM and the S3 ROM.

Cwm version 5

when i flash it again i flash firstly the cwm5.0.2.7 then i reboot my device
then i go to recovery then i flashed the rom
but........nothing solved
your way is a little difficult but i will try it ... and i will post a reply

3- extract the file downloaded from sam mobile
4- flash it via odin as pda part
5- download cm10 (i prefer harald's version)
6-flash it via temporary cwm (see roms thread about installation process).
Any help needed? Just ask.
