h1. Galaxy S Installation
@Warning: flashing another operating system like Replicant may void your warranty and will erase the data stored on the device.@
h2. Prerequisites
* Your device must run Android 2.3 (we cannot use the 2.2 partition layout)
* Your device must be ready to run CyanogenMod (see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide)
* It is a good idea to flash CyanogenMod before Replicant as it'll solve possible issues with the modem image (it must be located at /radio/modem.bin and symlinked to /dev/block/bml12)
