Pre-installation Thoughts/Requirements

Installing/Flashing this ROM will erase your apps and data. So, it’s a very important you back them up before proceeding further. To backup your apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. this Android backup guide would help you. Restore APN settings if Internet isn’t working for you, after installing the rom. And if you are using a rooted phone, you can save application’s data too, using Titanium backup (free app on android market) to backup apps with apps with data. Use the same app again to restore those apps with data.

Make sure your Galaxy S i9000 is fully charged.


1)Download the CM9 ROM zip file from the official development page → here

2)Transfer the ROM’s zip file (do not extract it) that you downloaded above in step 1 to your phone’s internal sdcard (don’t use external sdcard/microSD). Remember the location where you transfer the file.

3)Power Off your Galaxy S. Wait for 5-6 seconds until you feel the vibration to confirm complete switch off.

4)Then, press and hold these 3 buttons together: VolumeUP+Home+Power till the Galaxy S logo shows up on-screen. You’ll boot into CWM recovery soon enough. (In recovery, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option).

5)Select “wipe data/factory reset”. Wait a while till the data wipe is complete. (this will NOT ERASE your SD card, don’t worry).

6)Now, select “install zip from sdcard”, then select “choose zip from sdcard”, then scroll to the file you transferred in step 2 above and select it. Then select “Yes, Install ____.zip”

7)After the installation is complete, select ”go back” then select ”reboot system now”.
