Root [UPDATED 28/12 - NEW INSTALLER] CyanogenMod 7/Android 2.3.4 Is avaliable for GT540!

Well so far battery wise, I have lasted 2 days, 11 hours and 2 minutes and I am still at 50%. That is with a few phonecalls, watching a few videos, web surfing and using the phone to read a book. Much much better than the other ROMS. Thanks MUR4IK, this is a great improvement on the battery :)

Those were the first I tried. Although the screen refreshed after executing the .INF file, I never got a DLLRegisterServer or "blabla.dll was registered correctly" dialog box, so I assume it never worked. The Win7 ones, curiously, did, at least when updating to official

Same here! Ever since that upgrade to M5, my battery life has been amazing! :D
 
I have a few questions regarding the M5 update.
I read above that we need to flash the boot.img manually.We're talking about the boot.img that is in the second folder of the .zip file right?So i need to extract it to ,let's say, the android folder on my pc. Then copy the second .zip file to my sd card and flash it through recovery. After that i need to boot into fastboot and flash the new boot.img. What about the recovery.img?Don't i need to flash that too?
I'm a bit confused....

That sort of confused me a bit (:p) but I'll explain:
Inside the recovery .zip file there are 2 files, another .zip and recovery.img. The recovery.img is the most updated version of recovery (v3.0.0). The other .zip file is the actual update, and inside that .zip file there is boot.img. You can copy that to your Android folder. Then flash the first .zip update through recovery as normal. Then boot into fastboot and use the command 'fastboot erase boot' then the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. Then everything will be sorted.

If there's anything there you didn't understand, let me know :)

By flashing the first .zip update you mean the SwiftDroid_v2.0_recovery_M5.zip?
Because i just flashed the update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-GT540-MUR4IK-signed.zip file. And then i booted into fastboot and flashed the boot.img which i had previously extracted and everything is fine(checked the settings)
Excuse me for the previous confusing post, i should have mentioned the zip files by their names to avoid confusion;)
 
Hi ... Not been on here in ages!

So what it is that i have got rid of my gt540 and bought a HTC Desire Z ( great phone btw) but thats another story for another day. On to the serious matter and that is my friend has asked me to install cm7 to his normal desire ... And i was wondering if any one had a link yo instructions like this for that phone, if anybody could find a link it would be a great help

Thanks

Kyle :)

I see your point as the GT540 is a low end phone; enjoy your Desire Z! :)

The Desire is officially supported by CyanogenMod, but the phone comes in 2 versions: CDMA and GSM. I'm not 100% sure but I think the differences between the 2 are the radio frequencies used to connect to the mobile network. So your friend would need to know/find out whether his/her phone is the CDMA (codenamed BravoC) or the GSM (codenamed Bravo) version then flash the correct version.

Hope that helps! :)

After installing a fastboot ROM, I am attempting to install CM7 now..
In CMD when i try fastboot.exe -w
it says <waiting for device>
I have all the drivers installed.
 
Hi all

i have tried to install the m5 update using auto exe program but it does not work, what mode does my phone have to be in? thnx
 
I'm not too worried about losing data - as I have it already backed up elsewhere, but when I downloaded the fastboot.zip file and extracted it, there is no executable file for me to run? do i swap out the old system and boot img files with the previous swiftdroid.exe and run it that way? I'm updating from the last cm7. I'm really confused about how to update to the newest version... sorry

Well the easiest way to update is by flashing through recovery, there's instructions for that in the first post :)
 
Just finished installing the update - I've now lost all wifi access? It can see locations but can't obtain ip addresses - this is for my own personal wifi and for free public locations anyone else having this issue? or is there something im missing?

lol it happened the same to me maybe you updated via zip on recovery and boot didnt install well open via fasboot and decompress the rar (not the recover version but the fastboot one where you download it ) on C:Android/ swift droid and then run an exe of data wipe and another of fastboot then start exe...


im very hard to explain thing and maybe this way is very long but on that way i fixed the wifi setting and everything because of its boot try it maybe your problem was like mine's and remember allways before doing anything else :
MAKE AN BACKUP BEFORE UPDATING OR FLASHING :D;)
 
Ive recently bought a windows 7 PC (which is why i haven't been on the forums much). I tried connecting my phone to my computer and i got a message saying that it was installing drivers. I clicked for more details and then it said it couldnt find any. Im also wary that there is no mass storage option in the settings. What can i do to read my sd card via my phone (i have no micro sd adapters and i cant get the card out of my phone)
 
Lol i figured it out. Driver on first page worked for me, and then usb mass storage came on my phone, so its fine. I have one more question. Where can i download the rom flasher and how do i need to set up my computer for it to work

You installed it through recovery? If you did, boot.img didn't flash. What you need to do is this:

Download the fastboot .zip folder and extract the boot.img to your C:\Android(\swiftdroid) folder. Then use the fastboot command:
Code: 
fastboot erase boot
Then use the command:
Code: 
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then it should work :)

You don't need to set anything up.. You don't need any ROM flasher either, the KDZ updater is just a one time thing. You can update versions through recovery so you don't loose any data.
