Hi,root phone with this http://quick-upload.com/files/get/VCeDYoXyV3/1clickrootandclockworkmod3.0.0.5.rar

Do you mean to say this is an application which roots the phone directly without me having to do anything ??? cz if so, i m a bit skeptical coz i have read things can go wrong in such cases.

waiting for more help plz

Hi harsh
u have to reinstall custom recovery
u can choose amon_ra. or clockwork 3.0.0.5/6/7

You should use CWM 3.0.0.5 for CM7, this is special for CM7 in Kalimo's thread:

Need some Help

HI all i foolw every step of AlphaRev X: mod successfully patched my phone than follow this guide Via PC49IMG Process successfully.
my questions are as follows.
1. thats all i need to done before flashing a custom rom..?
2. After flashing a custom rom if wanna go back to stock one is it possible to do that if yes than how??
3. While using a patched phone or custom rom os phone is it safe to restore phone to factory defaluts??
Please answer ASAP...

1) Yes
2) To the Stock ROM Yes, it is possible. But, not completely stock, as in, your S-OFF will still be S-OFF.
3) I wouldn't recommend it. There seems to be issues with many users with many aspects when they are factory resetting after getting S-OFF / Custom Recovery.

I wouldn't recommend it. There seems to be issues with many users with many aspects when they are factory resetting after getting S-OFF / Custom Recovery.
what types of issue can u plz provide me some details??
how to flash the stock ROM??
Please suggest any best good rom to flash yaar?

It seems Wallpapers go missing, Settings dont work, Widgets dont work, stuff like that. There was a thread here somewhere, seems to be lost.
For ROMs, it depends whether you need Sense or not. If you are fine without Sense, take a look at Cyanogenmod 7, and, if you need Sense, take a look at ROMs like JokerDroid and WildPuzzle.
A Complete list can be found here: (Part 2)

To restore to Stock ROM, simply select a safe flash RUU from Part 5 of the same post, and flash it, the ROM will be restored to stock. Alternately, take a Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM, and restore it later, which will again give you back your Stock ROM

I'm also using cm7. I haven't really faced any major bugs. Most of them are not bugs really. Only thing maybe is gps issue which will be fixed by reflashing the radio.
Reg., themes yes u can have theme chooser themes. And u can use theme Chooser application in the app drawer to apply it.

Most ROMS have instructions in the first post but basically you need to:
0)Backup everything (installing a custom ROM requires that you factory reset your phone)
1)Root your phone. Since this is your first time installing a custom ROM (search the forum for rooting methods)
2)Install ClockWorkMod (CWM). You can keep a backup of your previous recovery if you want.
3)Download the zip of the ROM you want to install on your SD card.
4)Reboot your phone in recovery
5)Do wipes / install as instructed in the ROM you choose
quoting from the aurora ROM for the u8800 Pro...
INSTALLATION
Boot into recovery (5.0.2.7 for U8800 pro )
You should have Clockworkmod version 5.0.2.7 installed, in order to install clockworkmod you should first root your phone
Wwipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Boot in recovery (ClockWorkMod) and do the wipes as instructed
Mounts and storage and format system
From ClockworkMod
Install zip from sd card
From ClockworkMod
Choose aurora_2.0_u8800pro.zip
From ClockworkMod

Extra info...
*)Custom roms are rooted so you don't need to do step 1 next time
*)ClockworkMod will not get deleted/altered by a custom ROM unless you want to update it
*)Usually you don't need to do all wipes if you update the same ROM (always read instructions)

I totally agree with you there are instructions for every rom... i haven't installed any rom to u8800pro but for u8800 i can asure that there are guides everywhere step by step, instructions to any rom on how to install them, etc.
If the rooting tutorial that you have found does not work properly as it should on your device you should look for another, and you might find it. not a very good help just an opinion and was trying to make sure you won't give up next time because you can't find a proper guide take care

[Q] Cant Install Hyperion

Okay just rooted my phone yesterday, I have try all the ROMs from Jellyblast v3 to any ROM I can find on the developer page but my phone failed to install any of the ROM! So the thing is I love the Hyperion ROM but I cant install it on my newly rooted SGY, So do I need to root my phone again / Download Hyperion ROM again (Already tried three time) / Format my SD Card ? / Unroot then root again my phone? Hopefully someone can help me figure this thing

Flash your phone to base DXLF1 and try installing Hyperion from there. if you still have trouble installing the ROM, try flashing DXLF1 then install EVO-X2.1 then Hyperion (that's what I did)
also you don't need a pre-rooted phone. installation of Hyperion automatically roots your phone. and if you did a fresh flash and haven't booted up your phone (after Odin flashing, immediately booted to Recovery then CWM Recovery) then you don't have to do a data reset or cache wipe, your phone after flashing stock rom is already as good as wiped and reset.
and you can flash Hyperion from either CWM or Stock Recovery. but the flashing of EVO-X2.1 requires CWM. I forgot if EVO needs root, but you can check that out on the developers page (too lazy to add link )

first flash stock dxlf
then if youre succesfull go to stock rom home screen
reboot recovery clear data factory reset and cache on stock recovery
then apply root update.zip (file you need to root ur phone)
next open cwm clear data and cache again
after that install hyperion then donot reboot and donot apply any update (must be later after succes install)
clear data and cache again in cwm
then reboot recovery clear data and cache again
then reboot wait for a while
thats my step and now im using hyperion smoothly

go dig in that thread, you should find it eventually. also you need to know how to use Odin flasher, but that's already included in the guide.

you may immediately flash to DXLF1. just go to download mode without doing anything. Like I said, flashing stock roms is as good as getting your phone right from the factory.
after flashing to DXLF1 you may retry flashing Hyperion. if that doesn't work, then refer to my previous post on what I did.

you should wipe data wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as it can cause bootloop then try to install it again and for flashing rom you do not need root access .
