This thread is for the latest unofficial builds of CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. This version is based only on upstream CM7 (currently CM 7.2.0 RC1). We have not made any theming changes, apk changes, etc. It's exactly how it would be on any other phone that receives CM7 nightlies (usually just slightly more broken). CyanogenMod 7 is stable enough on this phone where it can be used as a daily driver, provided a feature that you require is not broken. That said, you may encounter issues, so don't rely on everything. This is a beta port but we're getting very close to being ready to start the process of becoming official.

This thread is for development. If you have a problem and don't post logs (where relevant) or provide any detail, I will ignore you.

Please report issues with proper grammar, thorough explanation, and speak in a respectful manner. If you are reporting an issue that has already been reported, post some logs (logcat, dmesg, kmsg, last_kmsg, etc).

Known Issues/BugsCheck the Device Issue Tracker and the Kernel Issue Tracker
WiFi reception is reportedly poorer than the KJ6-based ROMs. (Please report if the new wifi driver has helped!)

If you find more issues, please check with CM7 gerrit before you think it's a problem with something we've done.

If you find an issue, please provide any relevant logs. It's also preferable to post it to our github issue tracker.

If the error is occuring in /proc/kmsg or /proc/last_kmsg, it's definitely kernel related. Post it on the Kernel Issue Tracker

If the error is showing up in logcat, chances are it can be fixed through modification of our device tree. Post it on the Device Issue Tracker.

Please note that if you perform this procedure, you do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage!

Supports both I9070 and I9070P!

For resetting binary counter on gingerbread and jellybean :


In terminal emulator, do this :

Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 count=1 seek=3145732
Make sure that you issue the correct command as this is extremely risky and if done incorrectly, might result in a HARDBRICK.!!

This method will work on any custom kernel and any custom rom. Please stop sending me pms for it.!

Huge credits to antsm for pointing me to the correct direction

Raneet for testing on JB.


Buy me a coffee, maybe?

DISCLAIMER:

I'm NOT responsible for any damage you cause to your phone.
Be sure to follow the steps correctly.

REQUIREMENTS:Windows

Samsung KIES and all drivers installed.

ODIN for flashing the firmware.


HOW TO ROOT:Download the Pre-Rooted firmware that matches the firmware your using.


Extract the RAR file, you will end up with a folder with two files in it.
SYSTEM_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 and CSC_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5


Close any KIES application that might be open.


Open ODIN.


Select the file SYSTEM_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 as PDA.


Select the file CSC_YOURFIRMWARE.tar.md5 as CSC.


Verify that ONLY "AUTO REBOOT" and "F. RESET TIME" are selected.
Do NOT select "Repartition"


Boot your phone in "DOWNLOAD MODE" by holding POWER + HOME + VOL. DOWN


Plug your phone usb cable to your computer.
If you've never connected your phone to your computer in download mode you'll have to wait for it to install the drivers


Click the "START" button and wait for it to finish.
Do NOT unplug the usb cable before ODIN finishes its job.


If you did everything correctly, after a few minutes, ODIN will show the message "PASS"
Then you can remove the usb cable.
Your device will reboot in Recovery Mode and will finish the installation.
When it finishes, it will reboot and start the Android System.



Now, go to the "Google Play Store" and Install the app "Super SU" (or "Superuser").




That's it!
Now, enjoy your rooted Galaxy S Advance!
You can go back to Download Mode to check that your Binary Counter hasn't increased.
