1) root the device and turn s=off. Threads in the development section
2) visit the Cyanogen mod CM7 thread
[sent via Cyanogen powered Android]
Root your phone via one of the many available methods although the gfree has seemed to have some issues. I'd recommend visionary method. Once you have root and have S-off install Rom manager via the market and flash clockwork (and correct me if I'm wrong as I get confused a lot with recoveries build #'s lol) mod recovery version 2.5.1.2, 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. 3.0.0.6 is the best available currently. After flashing clockwork in Rom manager (its the first thing that pops up) scroll to download Rom and download cyanogen mod 7 rc4 from that menu. (You will have finished downloading the rom and have booted into recovery by now) MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PRECEDING. Then Wipe data and cache via recovery and then go to install zip via SD card then choose it again find the .zip file for cm7 and hit install. It WILL take awhile to install. After it finishes reboot. Again this will take awhile. Once it comes up, wait 3 minutes or so then reboot. Then set up and your good to go. Once you've done that its basically rinse repeat for other roms. But remember to read the roms flashing instructions before hand as it may have some wacky process for flashing. Good luck!

Not to nitpick, but 3.0.2.4 is the latest version. It just came out the other day, so that's probably why you're not aware.
EDIT: To the OP, like neidlinger said, your first step is to root. This is the guide I followed and it works great: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021.

Once you're finished with that tutorial, you'll be rooted and have a custom recovery installed. At that point, create a Nandroid backup, and then wipe all three items in the recovery menu and install the custom ROM. There is no direct Nexus S port to the MT4G, but CM7 and RoyalGinger are essentially the same thing, and in fact better, so check those out in the dev section.
Hi, my name is Gerardo, I had a HTC Evo, from sprint,
last monday i root my Evo, with Unrevoked3 and install the tether for internet,
but today i download the cyanogen and after reboot my cell i see the android dool
in the skateboard but nothing hapen, is never turn on the cell, NOW, WHAT I DO WRONG!!
If any one can help i appreciate, the true i don't speak and read perfect english,
but the first steps for rooting my cell i do good, so i think i can fix my cell.
thank you for your help!
Did you do a full wipe of cache, dvalik and data before flashing Cyanogen? Sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop with a bad flash.
Boot back into the bootloader power and volume down. Then go boot into recovery and wipe all, dalvik, and cache. Then reflash cyanogenmod 7. (Did you make a backup before?)

If you are seeing them androids on them skateboards, I am assuming you are in the bootloader or in the fastboot mode already.
Choose recovery, and then reboot.
If you dont see recovery, try bootloader, then recovery and then reboot system.
Welcome to CM7. Follow Blamme instructions if youre on a black screen with Cyanogen logo. Follow Idlemonk instructions if white screen with 3 androids at bottom.

I think he is talking about blue Cyanogen Android on a skateboard (boot animation).
But for the OP, just power up by holding volume down & power button, then go to recovery wipe everything and reflash.

No, that will just flash the Clockworld recovery, which sucks.
If you want to do it through ROM Manager go to Download Rom, press menu, sort by downloads, and Google Apps should be the second option.
But it is better just to use the link novanosis85 gave, it would be easier to find the .zip if you manually download it.

Shouldn't be too bad of a deal, if you nandroid backed up your your rom before you flashed CyanogenMod. Just nandroid recover. If you did not back up your rom before you flashed, then you have to completely wipe everything and reboot. If it still does not load than you could have gotten a bad download. You can find info on how to fix your problem in the Evo forums.

Search on here for Gapps 20110504 or get them from the download link where you got your Cyanogen ROM. Save to root of SD and flash same way you flashed ROM.
Samsung epic.. When i boot into cwm and try to restart it just stays on the samsung start screen and never moves from there. How the heck can i fix this i need my phone..please help with detailed directions...

Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache?

Is that the only way using odin.? If so can some please post the links i need. Im fairly new to this.. I used odin before but had it set up on another computer not this one....
I can boot into clockwork,,,, just when i reboot from there it gets stuck, why would this be happening. Maybe i didnt have the correct rom on it.?
You might have to start over but not with odin if you have a rom on your sdcard or if you download one to it. what rom are you on and kernel? And have you flashed something that migt have caused it?

Go to the Development section at the top in the stickies is a thread called How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. That has all the info and links you need.

This happened to me too, I was only able to get to the boot screen and it would freeze, and it would only let me get into clock work mod, make sure you have a rom in the root of your SD and flash the rom in clock work mod, the new rom should boot up.

if you have a fairly recent cmw backup and you are on cmw 3.1.0.1 (purple if I got the ver. # wrong) try advanced restore, and just restore the one at the top of the list. Worked for me when I flashed a bad kernel. Good luck!
It'd be nice if you were more specific on what you did before you screwed your phone up so we wouldn't have 10 plus people figuring out basic crap smh. -_-
Quit being such a noon. If you had the smarts to flash a rom....then figure it out. I've made the same mistakes. Better make sure the rom is actually for your phone......noob.
Make sure you have the right kernel for your rom. Most of the times when you get stuck at the samsung logo is because you don't have the right kernel.

Without a coherent thought its kinda hard to figure out exactly what you need. If your device is rooted then you dont have to reroot to change something. Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

....When in ROM Manager, click on the first item that says "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"..that'll get you a recovery, to make a backup, and to flash a new ROM. And to bring it to stock, the stock ROMs are here, just choose 2.2.1 or 2.3.4, then flash in recovery, or rename to PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, sorry I forgot which one when flashing stock. FLASHING STOCK WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT! If you want rooted GB, gohere! Good luck!
^^ Thanks. It worked. Now I can install a new ROM. I am having trouble backing up. ROM manager backs up the entire ROM. I just need Settings, SMS and contacts to be backed up. Not ROM

are you using a custom recovery? you can push a rom to your device via adb. or you can use fastboot to flash the official stock img, which might be better. then youll have to reroot. and im sorry, the comment about people continuing to try and use chainfire 3d wasnt really aimed at you, it was just general. i see this same thing almost every day with people getting stuck after using chainfire. btw, out of curiousity, why would you need to use chainfire 3d on a quad core phone?
