Hello all,...
This is my first Helpful thread in XDA,.. and is aimed to help all the new android Galaxy Fit Users .. Being a newbie, i was unable to satisfactorily see a complete GUIDE about the rooting world,.. So here is my contribution
Basics :
1. What is Rooting ?
2. What are Custom ROMS ?
3. What is ODIN ?
.......Odin is a software for your PC to flash Stock ROMS and CWMs
4. What is CWM ?
.......CWM stands for ClockWorkMod Recovery, and helps you in flashing custom ROMS ! Try CWM 5 by tj_styles. U don't have to ROOT your phone for flashing CWMs
5. How to Flash STOCK ROMS ?
6. How to ROOT STOCK ROMS ?
7. How to Flash CUSTOM ROMS ?
.......This is beyond the scope of this GUIDE since each ROM has its own method of Flashing. It is mostly done with CWMs 'n some (like Creed's Rom below 1.4) are flashed via ODIN,.. get help from developers..
8. Does ROOTING 'n CUSTOM ROMs Void your warranty,..?
......As long as you are not bricked... it can be considered as a "pause" to your warranty period. U can get back your warranty any time by flashing a official STOCK ROM !
GOLDEN RULE :
Read, Re-Read the procedure, to prevent mistakes,...! Never experiment ROMs without full knowledge of the developer and the procedure (Unless you are a pro ). Keep the phone charged to atleast 60% before flashing. Keep your Laptops charged while using ODIN !
"I am not responsible for you bricking the phone,.. Keep the wails for yourself"
Get best Response to your FAQ's here
'n Don't FORGET to Hit THANKS Button if i helped

any sugestion ow to make start what file i need what thing 1st to do...
things to xda and to the person will guide me here
If you want to learn about installing roms read "Beginners GUIDE:Rooting a HTC Dream(T-Mobile G1) and Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (FROYO)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688
As you already have an old Cyanogen rom, your phone is already rooted, so you can skip the 1st part of the guide (you may want to read it anyway for a better understanding of what was already done on your device).
Once you select the rom you want to flash, you can post your questions on installing that rom in that rom's thread.
Happy flashing!

Usually NOT (changing your rom doesn't unroot your phone).... and this is the development section! Next time post in the question and answer section and we're all happy.

Try any gingerbread ROM, they are all stable.
1. I would suggest CM7, or Oxygen.
2. These type of threads are not allowed.

ohh i am sorry .. i am new here so don't know anything.. can you tell me how to install Rom on my phone.. if possible can u come online?
how to install rom
First you have to root your phone
Download Unlock root (search on google for DL link)
enable debug USB, connect to your pc and root
Download a .zip rom (like cm7 or oxygen) and put zip on your SD
After install rom manager and flash a recorvery with the app rom manager (DL from market), you have to turn off your phone, and press "home+volumedown+power"
You are in the recorvery, wipe user data, cache, dalvik cache and do "install zip from sd" and select the zip on your SD
Reboot and enjoy
Google tutorials to root ur device. Once you are done rooting, search xda for oxygen rom cm7 or hehappy's stable ics rim released 7 Jun. Both are stable and gud roms. Fast and fun..

Just explore
Hey, take this in a positive note.
Granted, you are a new user, so you should read the Sticky threads first, which will help you understand the rules, tell you where you can find the most relevant information, and contains quite a lot of information for beginners. The spirit of these forums is to read and understand, not to get quick answers. It should serve as a knowledge base, so useless threads shouldn't be posted.
Then, this kind of questions are not allowed, because there is no single ROM which is the best. Each user will consider different ROMs as their personal best, depending on their needs and usages. Just explore the forums, read about various ROMs and you'll find many ROMs, and some of them will satisfy your needs. Again, see the sticky threads for learning about how to root, install recovery, change your ROM etc.
try out the custom rom GingerSnap by neko95, the most updated rom so far based on latest cm7.2
we dont need this threads..
use every rom and find out whats best for you.

There are many custom roms for you to choose, and they are updated everyday. You can find somethings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311 right in this forum. Maybe someone can tell you which is the best rom but not me. You have to try to see what is the different and improvement between those rom ^^
No worries
You can find so many custom roms and choose the best among it.You can choose the best by details and expert comments given with the custom rom.First go through the instructions well and have a good mind that you can do it.this is only precaution don't try anything in a hurry...enjoy flashing:good:

*********THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON ANY FORUM SO PLZ LET ME KNOW IF I COMMIT ANY MISTAKE********
i would love to use my phone on optimum level,so i finally decided to flash my phone Rom to
Frimware4.0.4 (Using Odin3 v1.85, latona_20110114.pit,ETC)
[Initially came with STOCK Firmware2.3.6]
After browsing some fourms, websites i did flashing (although this was my first time)and i was able to flash it.
(i am not sure whether i did it in correct manner or not) but phone reboot within a while,so i was wondering if
you guys can plz suggest me some other appropriate PDA,PHONE,CSC files which is much more stable.
so i can update the version of android 2.3.6
AND YES I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED OTHER THREADS BUT NO LUCK.:crying:
BY STABLE I MEANS IF THERE IS A BUG THEN THERE SHOULD BE A WALKTHROUGH
and yes i know bit of LINUX ,BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME I AM TRYING TO OVERWRITE MY PHONE

what do you mean by "phone reboot within awhile"? Is it that the phone keep rebooting itself?
well.. I am a newbie too but I have flashed my phone more than 100 times I guess, keep trying on XDA developers' custom ROM (because they are way better than SAMSUNG stock rom)
I think there is no such ROM as most stable or appropriate here, every ROM has its own feature(some might be laggy or buggy though) so the best way to find out which 1 most suit your needs is to test them out. You can read through the threads in Development forum, there are many ROMs there from XDA developers. See some review and comments to find the ROM best suits your needs, and follow exactly the installation guide then you should be able to flash your phone without worry
Im currently using [4.1.2] JellyBam ☄ v3.1.0 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] by Lolation, very smooth and kinda good battery life too
good luck flashing~ =)

Where can i get detailed instructions on how to install CM10. I know nothing about rooting & flashing. Currently on xxkpq.

Not so long ago I was total noob for Android, few posts later and nothing has changed :victory: JK off course, the truth is that I learned some basic stuff (rooting, unlocking bootloader, difference between SU and regular user, customization and CWM etc.) and all that thanks to you guys - god bless YouTube, inetrnet and XDA developers! :highfive:
Now the probing questions:
1. Is it possible to flash custom ROM's to Miro with bootloader locked (currently stock)?
2. Which one would suit me best (gaming and/or performance is a MUST!)?
3. What to install mod other then CWM (cuzz it's not supported by phone)?
Thx guys, I'll make sure to thank each and every one of y'all!
1. Yes u can always use stock based roms without unlocking.
2. My personal opinion is that The ultrabeast rom has great gaming performance. Im using it currently.
3. Didn't get your question.

In order to flash the ROM onto device I need some Mod and ClokWork Mod is not supported by Miro (for fastboot etc.) so which one should I choose?
Is there any way u could send me a download link and instructions for that ROM?
So many question marks....
Who told you that cwm does not work for miro? It works very well.
There is a separate thread for that.did you try to search? Just go to the android development section. There you will find both cwm and twrp. Install whatever you want. I prefer cwm.
And you will also find the rom alongwith instructions there only.

Do not post questions which indicates "Which is the BEST ROM" or such issues. It's strictly against the XDA Rules.
The point of the forum is try out different ROMs available in the development section. So browse around and try and see it yourself.
