@Kulverstukas, wtf are you using your sim to store contacts for, use your gmail account DUh!@! Then no matter what all your contacts are in your gmail account!!

Ahahahaha, no.

There's a reason why private data is called "private".

That's a weird problem, though I think it would of been better to ask at XDA-Developers's forum.
Anyway, I had written about rooting wildfire on my blog here.
With flashing I had no problem - just that it took very long (but less than an hour) to start up.
How did you install Cyanogen? When installing, from CWM you have to wipe everything clean (user data and the system partition(?)) and only then install Cyanogen. Else it might fuck up.

Though I highly advise you to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=678
and search for answers there. I really think you will find a proper manual somewhere in there.

ok, thank you
i didn't wipe the things you said. i'll try out . if it doesn't work i'll check out the xda developers forum. i did root from their tutorial...

one other thing worth mentioning here is to always make sure the md5 hashes match up on any and all software or firmware that you download to flash with...especially the radio and bios firmware because corruption of these files WILL brick a phone.

I use Cyanogenmod 7 on my MyTouch 4G, also 2.3.7 when my stock is capped at 2.3.4 reason to that is because they are different Kernels (Like software on a specific OS).
Though I just unlocked my phone, I genuinely love CM7..
Cyanogenmod offers so much, It uses a ADW launcher, which is available on the Play Store, so you can try it out before getting it... Only that using the launcher leaves out a lot of Key root features within the initial ROM.
You can use in-ROM software to overclock your processor and many other things to optimize your phone for performance and batter life..
Over-all Cyanogenmod 7 is a great ROM, I definately infer that you try it.
Rated 9/10* There have been some crashing issues on my MyTouch 4G, but not an issue for it reloads quickly.

Why the fuck is everyone still on CM7?

There are phones that do not support higher CM numbers, ya know. And this thread is old.

This thread makes me want to go and start flashing random shit again on my cellphone, probably ruining it again
Haven't tried CM,but this thread open my appetite for it.

CyanogenMod is nice but its on what like 10.1 or something... Also TWRP seems to be the new style of flashing along with the Aroma installers... I couldn't believe how simple it was to flash the Galaxy S3, locked bootloader or not. I haven't used CyanogenMod in a long time though not since my Droid X. As long as you stay away from the nightlies and stick to the stable releases they should run pretty smooth. A lot of other people like AOSP (Android Open Source Project) which is vanilla android, aka android how its originally meant to be without OEM skins (Sense UI, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc) and AOKP (Android Open Kang Project). However most either use an AOSP source or a CyanogenMod source. Then there are ROMs like MIUI which is iPhone like but in its time had some amazing features not present in any other rom. On the S3 I'm running Jelly 'Beans' which out of Synergy, Hyperdrive, etc has been the best. If there was a good official CyanogenMod however I'd probably run that.
