INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST TIME FLASHING CM7 TO YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY S VIBRANT PHONE:

Make sure your phone is fully charged! Update process will take some time.

Make sure there's enough free space at your internal sdcard (200MB)

If you are running a Samsung ROM and have disabled HDSPA using the magic dialer code, you have to enable it before you flash CM otherwise you won't be able to activate HDSPA on CM again.
