Is there anyone who can spoon feed me for upgrading my XCD35 from android 2.2 to CM7.1...
I had gone through the Modaco forums but I dont' want to brick my phone by doing a mistake. I just cant' afford it but still want to use CM7.1
My progress till now :-
My XCD35 is GEN2 and having 2.2 pre-installed. (Ask Mr. Pigfish)
I've installed Z4root and Rom Manager Softwares.
I have USB cables and a laptop with Windows XP and Windows7 (dual boot)

I doubt if any one uses the theme changer. Well i hope the audio is good. Also, could you tell me where can i get total housing or a silicone case for my Phone in India.

Theme changer is one of the USPs of CM7. I have 5-6 awesome themes installed on my phone and is the main reason why I don't switch to other ROMs.
Woah that's great, do gimme a link to the themes if they are really that good.

Guys, in a dilemma. You must be knowing about the ZTE Blade offered by IDEA under a 3G package for Rs. 7992 right?
This, I hope, is the stock ZTE Blade on Android OS 2.2 right? I mean we can easily flash a custom ROM on it just like all the other XCD 35's and ZTE Blades isn't it?
Need this clarification ASAP!

Is there no-one to help me step by step....
Download gapps and the latest cm7 stable build from cyanogen wiki website. Don't unzip the files. Just copy them to the root of your sd card.
Go to astro file manager (download from market) and check md5sum hash by holding down on the file name. Verify that it matches the md5sum hash on the cyanogen wiki site you're downloading your rom and gapps from.
Then root your phone using z4root permanent method(download from modaco) and wait for it to reboot. Then using rom manager click on flash clockwork mod recovery and choose zte blade. Wait for flash to complete. Then click on Reboot into recovery.
In recovery, use volume keys to go up and down and home button to select.
Scroll down to wipe cache partition, select it and clikc yes to confirm. Go back to main menu, select wipe data/factory reset and again click yes to confirm. Lastly wipe dalvik cache by going to the advanced option from the main menu. Then go back to main menu, go to install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card and scroll down to the cm7 zip file and click on it. Click yes to confirm. Once installation is finished go back to main menu, click install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card and click on the gapps zip file. Again click yes to confirm. Once installed go back to main menu and click reboot system.
If this bricks your phone I take no responsibility. Its what I did and I have the same phone as you.
Cheers.

Yes. You can install a custom ROM just like any other Blade.
