Procedure to Update Vodafone SMART with Cyanogen Mod 7.2 Firmware:
- Download the Cyanogen Mod firmware Package and Google Apps from here to your computer and once these files are downloaded you will have to connect your phone to the computer using the original USB cable which you got at the time of purchase.
- Copy both these files in your phone, ensure that you are not placing these files deep into the phone so as to ensure that these files are detected in the recovery mode.
- Now, you will have to remove the connected USB cable and turn Off the phone so that the phone can be entered in the recovery mode. To enter the device in the recovery mode, you need to restart your device by holding down the ‘power’ & ‘volume up’ keys.
- Now, you will have to select “install zip from sd card” > “choose zip from sd card” and then choose the Cyanogen Mod 7.2 Zip file which is placed in the phone.
- Once you select the file, it will take around 5 – 10 minutes for the update to get applied. As soon as the update is applied successfully, you will see that the device will land up in the recovery mode screen. Now, in the recovery mode, select “++++ Go Back ++++” and then choose the option of “reboot system now” for rebooting the system.
Tip: Just in case if due to some reasons if the cyanogen mod 7.2 installation process gets failed or interrupted, then you need to repeat the update process again by following the steps again from the start. Don’t forget to restore the backup which you have taken in the initial steps.
