does this work on DHD ?

I was gonna check this out but the cyanogen website appears to be down

I would have thought so, as 7.1.0-RC1 was the relase candidate, so it would appear that they have decided to let it go as a full (non-release version).

Yeah, it does:

Their website seems to be struggling for traffic, it's veeeery slow to download.

Indeed, according to chrome, the file is going to take 2 hours to download!

I'll wait till later on this evening, see if that makes a difference. Failing that, ROM Manager should work.

Stupid question 100 it seems like. Getting myself fired up to get CM 7 on my phone when you post the new links Prez, so here it is. Been havin a look at ROM manager, when clicking the bit that says Download Rom it tells me i have to install ClockworkMod Recovery, do i have to install that before i load a custom ROM

 

[Xyro]

Yes. The recovery is essentially the software that's running the show when the actual android OS is being replaced. It backs up your phone's firmware, does the factory reset and installs the new firmware.

So when you use ROM Manager, you're basically generating a list of instructions for the recovery software to carry out once you turn off the android OS and boot into recovery. Its a more user friendly way of doing things that inputting the instructions into the recovery menu directly.

It's very easy to set up though, just pick the very first option in ROM Manager to install it.

And, it's important to know that, should your phone ever get stuck whilst booting (bound to happen once or twice when you flash firmware ), you can boot the phone whilst holding Power + Volume Down to boot into recovery and fix things from there.

Cheers for that Xyro. Off to install it now.
