Flashing Samsung Galaxy S SHW M110S Variant with CyanogenMod 9

on Monday, November 05, 2012
Hi Guys!

This blog post is about flashing Samsung Galaxy S SHW M110S Variant with CyanogenMod 9 custom rom.
If you are not familiar with what is happening with this rom I would please you to take a hard look at cyanogenmod.com. This article I written is for an educational purpose. You may face issues with the rom. Lot of configuration issues such as Wi-Fi issues, data activation issues. Yet this is the best solution that you can get for the phone in order to get ICS.

What you need for this flashing operation?

1.     The Odin for flashing the phone to Recovery Mode (01_CM9_2.tar file)
2.     The CyanogenMod ROM (CM9_M110S_Say.zip file)
3.     The Basic Google Apps for the ROM (gapps_ics_404_01042012.zip file)

Download the files by the links attached.

Precautions
1.     Please charge your phone up to 70% or more.
2.     Understand the phone’s Reboot mode, Download mode and Recovery Mode.

Download Mode will be the Home Button + Power Button.
Recovery mode will be the Volume Down Button + Home Button + Power Button.

Take a big breath before doing it, Please understand this process may brick or semi-brick your phone, but still you can unbrick and flash with the stock rom. Please ask questions if you have any clarifications about the installations.

How to do?

1.     Connect the phone into PC. Copy the CyanogenMod ROM (CM9_M110S_Say.zip file) and the Basic Google Apps for the ROM (gapps_ics_404_01042012.zip file) to your phone.
2.     Switch off the phone. Remove the battery, re-insert and put the phone into Download mode.
3.     Run Odin, when you run the software with the phone connected the Odin will detect a yellow bar with a COM port. Find the button PDA. Click the PDA and select 01_CM9_2.tar file. It will take a few seconds to finish. Unplug the USB and put the phone into Recovery mode.
4.     In the recovery mode you will see options like WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. Press YES and DO it.
5.     WIPE CACHE Partition.
6.     Go to advanced and WIPE DALVIK CACHE.
So these steps actually clean your phone off the from the previous ROM / Stock ROM
7.     Go back and select INSTALL UPDATE FROM SD CARD.
8.     Select CM9_M110S_Say.zip and click update. It will take up to a minute to install.
9.     After that repeat that with gapps_ics_404_01042012.zip file.
10.  Do it again the 4th 5th and 6th steps again.
11.  Reboot now
12.  In the first boot of a new ROM it will take a few minutes to load. Be PATIENT!
13.  Here we go! The CyanogenMod 9 for SHW M110S where you are!

Issues I faced,

1.     I could not switch on my Wi-Fi
2.     I could not switch on data packet enabler
3.     I could not switch on the Bluetooth
4.     My camera got a miserable look. Not correctly focusing or capturing.

But I really like the UI, my phone become speeder and smoother than the stock rom. I repeat this is an educational article. Please think twice before doing anything. Believe me you may brick your phone for nothing.

Cheers!

Ask some questions about SHW-M110s custom Roms maybe i can help

*you can edit the rom before installing it on cwm recovery.
My shw-m110s is now on Android version 4.1.2 Jelly bean with 2.6.35.7 kernel and CM10.0.0.
I downloaded a rom and edited it on my loptop. i replace some apps which malfuntions when i first installed the rom like the stock music player, i replaced it on googleplay music, the CM file explorer i replaced it with ES file explorer. AND OTHER APPS I REPLACED. Now my phone works very well.

It's been a month now since i tried flashing custom roms almost every night. finally, i found one which FOR ME the best Jellybean rom for this phone.
by the way I'm only 16 y/old. All this things im saying about SHW-M110s are based on my experience on flashing roms(custom). Send me some sites where i can post the rom(in zip file) i edited so you can try it. :) Thanks

Oh other thing is before flashing anything on odin you must have a stock rom(in .tar) saved on your PC so just in case the flashing gone wrong and your phone malfunctioned you can flash that rom so your phone will be restored or will be saved. LOL :)
i got addicted on flashing roms cause i see different UIs. :"> Android technology is cool
