From what I've read the D2VZW ROMs work on it but remember to always make a backup and look at some Verizon ROMs as well
So to put CyanogenMod on it we need a custom recovery.
Now first some knowledge on the phone, apparently it's the Verizon variant rebadged.
To install CWM (Recovery) we have to root the phone, to do this use the Cydia Impactor method by Saurik: http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
Once rooted use EZ-Recovery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez&hl=en) to install CWM. You MUST use the VERIZON recovery and NOT the Sprint as it WILL brick your device.
After that you should have ClockworkMod Recovey on your device, to check just boot into recovery by holding down the Volume up, home button and power for a few seconds. Once loaded make a Nandroid backup and when in the normal phone ROM copy it to PC incase of issues
Now that CWM is installed just copy your chosen ROM and Gapps file to your SD and boot into recovery, choose the wipe data/factory reset option and wipe cache. Then choose to install your ROM and Gapps.
Hopefully this should work and you now have CM installed
Hope I could help and good luck with your phone.

what now
So i installed cwm and now its telling me that theres an error mounting the sd card im confused xD

Help please

I rooted my phone and I go into rom manger and try to download a rom and it dont load. i got one from here and put it on the external sd can it still wont load is ther something i missing. or doing wrong. please help thank you.
You say your phone is rooted, so go into Rom Manager and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. It will be the top option. There isn't one for the Skyrocket so choose the one for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2.
Than reboot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup. Than do a factory reset and wipe cache. Than you will choose install .zip from sd card. Find the .zip on your sd card and install it.
If all goes well you should be running a custom ROM now.
You need to download the roms on xda in the development section. And then put them on your sd card
After installing cwm recovery for the tmobile gs2
Yeah, I forgot to mention that part.

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?
Android System Recovery (3e) problem

My Galaxy Ace Plus (S7500) doesn't want to boot in download mode
Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)
Is there anyway to root it?
Thanks so much!
Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?

The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?
here is Android 4.1.2 for Galaxy ace plus working

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

[Q] Do I Need CWM? SGA

Hey guys I'm an Android noob and a little confused. I've successfully unlocked, rooted, and flashed my Samsung Galaxy Ace by following step E here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680. At this point, it seems I'm ready to flash custom ROMs?? My question is, do I need to get Clockworkmod on my Ace if I want to flash ROMs or am I good to go as is and put files on my sd card, then boot into recovery mode, and flash from there?
If I do need CWM, how do I get it? I'm aware that I shouldn't use ROM Manager to get it as it will brick my Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Thanks, and sorry if this question has been asked by others already, appreciate it.
If you completed step E of that guide, you should already have CWM on your device. It replaces your old recovery, and without it, you wouldn't be able to flash a new ROM anyway. CWM also gives you the ability to back up device, in case you screw up you can quickly restore to a previous good image.

[Q] Can't install CWM or TWRP in Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Hi Guys,
My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T310.
I have installed CWM from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385539.
Very thanks for CWM creator. :good:
I installed this CWM with Odin version 3.07.
After installing, Odin has shown "Complete" and "Success" message.
and then I reboot my device and go to recovery mode.
But CWM can't show and only stock recovery is shown.
Please help me and point me what is necessary things to install CWM.:crying::crying:
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I have the same problem!
I always used odin to flash all of my samsung devices; and i tryed the TWRP, the CWM touch and no-touch, but have the same issue. The stock recovery always shown!
Can someone help us please ? Thank a lot
(Sorry for my poor english - French user :cyclops: )
Same here...
I am sorry to say that there is no absoulute confirmed version of CW or CWM for the T310
I for once would wish we'd have this update come, I want ro change my boot animation.
PS Rom Manager by CWM in Playstore, wont work since CWM is not in the T310
Did you tried again?
Same issues for me too on the T310
I also just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 tonight (T310). Running 4.2.2. CWM r#4 wouldn't load the SD card to allow me to load the root tarball. It also still had the display issues. Then, I loaded TRWP, which worked and allowed for root access, but pretty much nothing else.
I thought I might try CWM one more time before I leave for 10 days, but it looks like I am stuck with TWRP right now. Too bad too, since I wanted to install the unofficial CM version (but I think CM requires CWM), or at least just a stock rom. This Samsung loaded garbage they call a ROM is messy and slow, it annoys me.
Thanks to the all the developers who put so much into these projects.
