How to install CM7 on SGH-T959D with alternative for broken SGH-T959D.

This is updated and easier way to install it ^^

This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!

It is really important that your are on froyo rom before you flash as CM7 need froyo bootloader.

Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! Knowledge on how to recover your phone is recommended.

Things that you need

1. CWM 3.0.0.5 enabled kernel. It will do a lagfix as it's voodoo kernel. Just let it finish.

2. Newest Version of CM7 Rom

4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip

5. [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel for SGH-T959D --> Telus fascinate 3g+

Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)

1. Get those files download

2. Copy cm7 package, GalaxyS EFS backup and Glitch kernel to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number, galaxys-efsbackup.zip and CM7TelusFascinate-Glitch-V10C-VC.zip.

3. Get into download mode and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition and phone efs clear!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar.

4. Unplug your USB and get into recovery mode. Hardware way.

5. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache

6. Flash GalxyS-EfsBackup.zip

7. Flash Glitch kernel then reboot in recovery again with hardware way. If you use reboot recovery command, just keep on going with the alternative way.

7. Flash cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip

8. Reboot your device and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.

9. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!

10. Install [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel from recovery. CM7 package install default kernel and we want Glitch kernel :D

11. Restore the efs backup.

12. Reboot your device and you will be running CM7 Rom and amazing Tk-Glitch kernel ^^.

Alternative way to flash. Can't access recovery mode by booting with button.

1. Download the same file as main way to install.

2. Copy cm7 package to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number. Also copy Glitch kernel.

3. Get into download mode (Use download Script included here if you can't do it hardware way) and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar. Let your phone reboot to normal rom.

4. Once it has booted ( It will do a lagfix before booting. ) make sure you have usb debugging enabled. (Setting, application, development USB debugging ticked.) Use recovery script found Here ( Included in package to get in download mode. ) to get in recovery.

5. Flash GalaxyS-efsBackup.zip

6. Flash Glitch kernel.

7. Go to advanced in CMW and use REBOOT RECOVERY. Your phone will always be rebooting recovery for now. we'll fix that later.

8. Flash the CM7 package. Reboot into download with the script included in the package up or hardware way. (Button work to get in download for me.)

9. Flash CWM kernel again using odin with repartition NOT ticked.

10. Restore EFS.

11. It will reboot in recovery. Flash Glitch kernel again and and reboot normal again. And voilà !

You are now on amazing CM7 with more even amazing Glitch kernel.
