So I tried installing the new ASOP rom, and was getting a bunch of force closes. I tried using CWM to revert to a previous backup, unfortunately the force closes continued in the backup. So I want into ODIN to get back to stock. I loading the stock files, did a factory reset, and everything seemed to be fine. However when I went into the market to reinstall appbrain and get my programs back, I kept getting an Out of Space error. I checked the internal memory and sure enough it says 0.00.
I've never installed Voodoo on my phone, because I was trying to avoid issues just like this one. I read over the a similar thread on this issue, but that fix isn't working for me. I tried to reroot, but the SU apk's don't have any place to go, since the phone says there is 0 internal memory.
Luckily I can still use my phone, but every time it turns off it resets, and I can't load my apps back on. Anyone got any suggestions?
The fix should still work for you. I would suggest flashing stock rom, kernel, pit, and cwmrecovery thru odin. After that you can follow the instructions posted on how to completely remove voodoo. Main thing is you need to get the original mbr to your phone.
Well he said he never installed voodoo so he shouldn't have to go through the steps to remove something he never installed in the first place

Hmm I read that part too, but if he follows adrynalyne instructions he should be fine. It is taking care of the same problem. Corrupted rfs. The op just achieved it in a different way. If that does not work for him then maybe some dev will be able to figure out another way to fix the problem.
I'd be curious to see mount results.
Run it from adb shell.
So the short story is I fixed my phone, from force close and zero memory hell.
I noticed when booting into recovery I was getting an error related to /dev/block/mmcblk0. I used the adb code to install the MBR file. Went in CWM and flashed the stock.zip kernel, restarted and got a ton of force closes. Went to the "How to escape the force close loop of hell" thread over at androidcentral, flashed the stock nandroid image, and someway, somehow the android gods took pity on my poor soul and my internal memory partition was restored.
I don't understand exactly how I fixed my phone, and I'm relatively new to this so I'm a little concerned. I'd like to learn from these mistakes, so does anyone understand what I did to fix my phone?
Sounds like it was the nandroid image that did it.
It is, effectively, the same issue the voodoo users have seen.
My "easy" fix was almost exactly the same as yours.
replace mbr, flash stock, revert to backup (which is basically what nandroid is).
I used my original CWM backup instead, and that worked for me. (I now have this stored on several drives/devices)
I also went back in to Root Explorer and nuked the "databases" folder in /dbdata and then wiped cache/data (CWM, then "settings"). Pretty much fixed it all for me.
Couldn't update to D101 for some reason after that, but the unsigned apk for that did the trick nicely. I suppose I'll have to retry the "odin to stock" bit if the 2.2 update fails the same way on me. Not looking forward to that one...
Ok I had my phone rooted and had voodoo on it. The phone was having issues downloading from the market, plus I couldnt turn the phone on unless i had it pluged in. So I tried to reset it using odin and the Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5. Now when I turn the phone on i get the android application has an uxpected error and I cant get past that. What do I do? Or how can I get my phone back to stock so I can re-root it.

Jeff,
See this post for returning to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204. I would do this as a last resort only.
Good Luck!
that is what got me to this problem. there are multiple files there what one do i use?
You apply them in the order they are listed.
1. Apply the "/system" file first
2. Apply the "kernel" file second
3. Apply thie "recovery" file third
This restores stock /system, the stock kernel, and the stock recovery. Pretty much brings you back to stock. Is that what you're trying to do?
I was having the same issues with USB cable looking like it was plugged in so I couldn't reboot unless it was plugged. I tried the voodoo uninstall and screwed up my data partition.
I ended up restoring the CWM_Kernel and Di01 Stock update which brought me back to stock with root and OTA update from Verizon BUT my Data partition is screwed and I have no internal app memory. Also, I have an Nandroid backup that I tried to install but that causes the FC issues that you mentioned. My guess is that my nandroid backup will work once I fix the data partition.
Later tonight, I'm going to try to put the stock MBR back onto the phone which I think you need to do as well.
However, it sounds like you didn't complete the whole recovery process and only applied one file. I'm an android newby so you can't take my advice to the bank but I think you need to restore all the files if you're going to flash with Odin per those instructions.
For me, I had CWM loaded so I just wiped the kernel and put back the DI01 ROM which put me back to stock albeit with some work to do to get my data partition back in shape. I hope this helped, for what it's worth.
Since you've already got the original.mbr copied and the stock.zip flashed...
Boot into CWM recovery and wide data/cache.
If you have a CWM backup of your phone in a rooted state, restore that backup through CWM.
Reboot, and go into "settings" if possible at this point, and factory reset.
This got me back from market failure/0.00/fc hell after utterly failing to heed the voodoo warnings and trying to revert to stock without undoing the lagfix.
You'll likely need to use the unsigned d101 apk if your backup/flash is dh12. The OTA update did not work for me at that point.

My question is do i use the phone. pda or csc buttons for these files?
Ok in Odin use the PDA button for the /system
but what button do i use in odden to load the kernal.tar and recovery.tar
i loaded the pit, and installed all the files using the pda button one after the other. now my phone get no service and it still isnt wiped. what is going on? how do i get the phone back to out of the box condition.
also, now i cant do a factory wipe/reset, im getting the error message Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Gotta do the mbr fix from the 0.00 internal memory topic and then restore nandroid recovery.
Oh, and it is PDA for all three files, not just system.

Here's a quick rundown. Sunday I rooted, installed cwmrecovery, and installed jt's 1200 voodoo kernal. Through the process, I have downloaded ROM manager, Root explorer, SetCPU, and Titanium backup.
I've done all the basics such as renaming bloatware, installing enhanced google search, ran a full titanium backup, and used SetCPU to OC to 1.2. I'm happy to say everything is running at 100%. Haven't had a single problem since modding everything.
Since doing this, I've read that I should have ran a nandroid backup before flashing voodoo in case anything goes wrong...unfortunately the instructions I followed did not include this. Because everything's working so well for me, I really don't want to screw anything up. I'm pretty sure I know how to do this I just want to list my steps and make sure they're right before attempting.
1. disable lag fix
2. reboot
3. boot into recovery mode from ROM manager
4. create a backup? (not sure what the CWMrecovery command is)
5. reboot
6. undo disable lag fix (re-enable lag fix)
7. reboot and pray everything continues to run smoothly
Does this sound about right?
that sounds right
Let me know how this works for you and exactly how you did it. This is what I was trying to do and when I rebooted after doing the disable/lagfix, everything was gone and i had no Google sign in, no market, and no keyboard. Still trying to figure out where i went wrong......

Your steps look fine.. Make sure #2 is a full reboot.. Don't just disable and then directly reboot into CWM, that won't work.
For some people it works easy as pie, for others, it blows stuff up. Not sure what to tell you.. You're taking your chances either way.. Either something will crash down the line and you'll have no backup, or you disable voodoo and take the risk of that blowing you up, and obviously you have no backup.
I think I would just go ahead and try the uninstall, you should always have at least a basic backup to work from. You might get lucky and just have it work the way it should.
Before you do anything though, I highly recommend installing and running Titanium Root, that will back up your applications, so even if things blow up on you, you can at least do a quick one-touch restore of the apps once your back to stock.
Glad to see I'm not the only one in this boat. I have rooted, cwm, and have OC kernal with 0.2 voodoo. I never backed anything up though...
I may try and follow in your path.
Ok, I felt confident and jumped head first into this because I really wanted to back my phone up with nandroid, so I went for it. After I disabled lagifx, my phone had an emotional breakdown. I attempted to backup with nandroid and I believe it failed, it said "Null" and did nothing. I pulled the battery after about 15 minutes and restarted my phone. Deleted the disable_lagfix file I had created and rebooted my phone. It did the voice and all that fun stuff and froze with the words "Samsung" on the screen. I think I may have made a super boo boo some where along the way.
If anyone knows what I should do now, please help. I'm in over my head for the most part.

Can you get into CWM?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yep, sounds like a pretty standard voodoo uninstall explosion. Happened to me as well.
See the thread "How to completely remove Voodoo". I'd recommend reading it all the way first, then trying it. There's some useful stuff later on.
If you can't get into CWM recovery at all, use odin and re-flash the CWM.tar file in the general CWM recovery thread here. Make sure when using odin you always, always use the "pda" box. Never use the "phone" box or else it's brick city.
Did you boot into recovery as soon as you disabled_lagfix or create the file, reboot, and let the phone completley boot up and then reboot into recovery?

OK, after my phone got stuck on the Samsung start up screen I pulled the battery and restarted. This time it actually restarted wit my the voice and I had my boot animation from the 1200 oc kernal/voodoo lagfix I had installed. It worked fine but I had to go through the set up for my phone and resign into my Google account. All my apps were gone and I've lost root. I tried to re-root but when I open adb I get the # sign instead of $... I tried to use the one click root but it didn't recognized my phone. Adb does recognize my phone though.
I can get into cwm... I just can't re-root my phone. It appears everything is fine beyond that.

EDIT: After a while of trying I finally figured out that I was able to use Adb, I just don't know what I'm doing most of the time. ADB and now I have my root back. The one click root did not work, but manually everything went ok. I still have voodoo and OC kernal, but eh, better than nothing at this point. I wanted to be able to created a nandroid back up... I still have yet to accomplish this, LOL, I may give it another try further down the road.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!
Wow...not sure if I want to try this or not now.
Has anyone done this SUCCESSFULLY?
So let's say I decide not to create a nandroid and leave my phone the way it is now...what's the worst that could happen? I have all my apps backed up through titanium backup.

It may work for you. Voodoo is weird from what I've read, for some it's fine and others not so much. I had a flurry of problems after disabling the lagfix and I almost felt like it wasn't worth it. Also, after finally getting my root back my accelerometer stopped working and I had to completely remove Voodoo and then re-flash back to voodoo to get it to work agian. I forgot to backup with nandroid again.... :? If you are going to try it, I would say completely remove voodoo via the uninstaller and then backup, because its hell if voodoo decides to go bipolar on your phone. You may lose all your data and root like I did. Who knows when it comes to voodoo?
I'm leaving mine as is and may backup with nandroid later. If you go for it, good luck.

Between Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro (seems to handle things like the call log and sms/mms messages a little better, at least for me), I haven't used a Nandroid in a couple of weeks.
It's actually a pretty nice, streamlined process:
-Run the backups
-Do whatever hacky thing I'm doing
-Wipe data
-Sign in to Google and download Titanium from the market
-Restore apps with Titanium, then data with MB Pro.
-Fix any funny widgets
-Enjoy!

I just created my nandroid backup! I chose to uninstall Voodoo then re-root my phone instead of just disabling voodoo. I haven't put voodoo back on yet, but I probably will. Not with the OC kernal because none of them are stable enough IMO. When I used the OC lagfix my phone would always freeze up when I did anything extensive. Google Earth for example, would cause it freeze up. Oh well, hopefully someone will come up with a good OC, and I'll be happy to donate to them for their hard work.
Seriously, I think you should just uninstall and create a backup. Then reinstall voodoo for that sweet Quadrant score. LOL

Respectfully, the kernels are fine. Different processors handle the same kernels differently. Most kernel threads have several different versions partly because of this. For instance, My GFs phone will run Dirks UC/OC well, without issue, but mine occasionally borked when I tried it, so I use JT's. You will see this effect more pronounced on boards for devices with many different kernels available.
Always a good idea to try each version of each kernel for a bit to see how you do.
Wow, I forgot about removing voodoo before doing nandroid backup / restore. I've done 2 backups and 1 restore without issue. Did I just get lucky? Man there's a lot of stuff to keep track of here!

I like the sound of this! But I have a question...I looked into the MBPro and supposedly it backs up all of your apps along with your data/personal settings. If that's the case, why use titanium backup?

I installed Cognition 2.2 beta 9(with voodoo) and got my phone all set up and did a nandroid backup without disabling voodoo. I never thought to disable it and the backup worked fine. Now today I restored the backup and forgot about disabling voodoo and it worked but I didn't have any of my apps or the market, and I realized it was probably because I never disabled voodoo. So I disabled voodoo and restored the backup again and it worked perfectly.
So I don't think you need to disable voodoo to do a nandroid backup; just to restore one.
I haven't re-enabled voodoo yet. Battery needs to charge a bit.
I've done backup and restore without disabling voodoo, because I forgot. It worked fine though. Now that I have read about issues with disabling voodoo I am kinda nervous to to even try it.
What do you think I should do in the future?
Thanx, you guys rock for making our phones faster and better...
I'm contemplating using RyanZA's OCLF app to root. My Vibrant has some issues that I'm hoping to correct with root access.
Anyways, does this app (from the market) still work post JI6? I've read that the lag fix doesn't seem to do much anymore, is this correct?
Also, When I run the rooting part of the app, is does it's thing and says reboot to the download mode or whatever, I get into that no problem, but then what do I do?? Volume up and down to move, power to select, but which option do I choose? Everything walk through I've found skips right over this tidbit.
If I remember right, one says reinstall packages, another is erase user data, etc.
Just a little guidance and assurance that this app still works would be great.
Thanks.

If you are rooted, have superuser, busy box installed & clockwork mod installed. then you should be able to select reinstall packages and that should take you rite into clockwork recovery menu.

It worked on my Vibrant.
When in recovery, the selection to choose is the reinstall packages.
I didn't immediately apply the lagfix after JI6, as stock did have some performances gains. But after a few weeks, I was noticing some of the old lag issues again. At that point, I installed the lag fix again, (I had it installed before JI6) and saw some good results, not as drastic as before, but the problem wasn't as severe as it was right after launch.

yes, use OCLF to root....there is no danger in it, then reboot into stock recovery and choose reinstall packages....then reboot and you are rooted....HOWEVER, after you reboot your phone, mount your sd card to your PC, and move "update.zip" from your internal SD to your EXTERNAL SD...this will make way for ClockwordMod's update.zip

I installed RyanZA's OCLF straight from the Market on JI6, and so far I have to say the user experience is much more responsive. The JI6 update made things noticeably better in terms of responsiveness, but the OCLF has made this thing almost "snappy".
I haven't installed Clockwork recovery (yet) as I'm still puzzling over exactly what to do (what to copy and where) now that the OCLF rooting and lag fixes are installed.

Ryan I installed your lagfix, but Quadrant Score almost identical than before lagfix install. I know many thumb their nose at these benchmark scores, but I was expecting a big change. Anything I could have done wrong?
thanks in advance for any help!!
****update*****
I knew something could be done to better this so I messed around a little. I originally installed OCLF V1+ ...... and the V1+ Quadrant score was the same as pre-OCLF around 835 ... uninstalled that and went to OCLF V2+ ....... OMG this is insane!!!
After going to OCLF V2+ - Quadrant score exploded to 2118 ..... wicked. I tried to swamp this thing but that's just not happening.
Thank you RyanZA
hi im new to the forum and have a quick question. i just flashed viperrom 5.0 yesterday and everything worked great and really like the rom. only problem is when i shut down the phone and restart it i loose all apps including the market. ive tried reflashing it again and its doing the same thing. this is the only issue im experiencing so far. thanks!
Are you pulling the battery to shut the phone down? i think Journaling is turned off which can cause data loss.
no just turned it off no battery pull. i also noticed that when i restarted the phone usb debugging came back on. is this normal? how would i solve the journaling issue? i just flashed back to eb13 for now and its working alright. sorry im fairly new to flashing roms so bare with me

Not not normal. I would re download all files and flash again, with starting with Fresh EC05 with ODIN.
i cant use odin cause im on linux so i have to flash through cwm everytime. but i did switch to ec05 today. i did notice that when i flashed viperrom one last time i restarted the phone before sync'ing with gmail and it kept the market upon restart. but when i synced gmail and restart i lost the apps including the market again. thats when i got real confused so i went to ec05.
in case it's caused by journaling being turned off, here's what I would suggest:
1) get the ROM installed (like you did previously)
2) get your apps downloaded and installed (as you did previously)
3) DON'T restart the phone yet....
4) after getting all your settings/apps setup
5) boot into clockwork mod and do a complete backup.
6) after making a backup, boot the phone. .if it's missing stuff.. don't worry..
7) boot back into clockwork mod and do a restore. Restore system/data, etc..
by doing a nandroid restore (step 7) you will enable journaling.. now when your phone boots back up, you'll have all your settings in place.. and you shouldn't lose them after a re-start (check it and see)
Hope this helps (if it does, hit thanks )
Journaling is on in the viper rom, but making a backup in cwm after you get it set up is a good idea. Also using an app backup, such as titanium, will let you restore your apps while on if you notice them missing.

Step 7 above is not a good way to turn on journaling. I've seen instances where some partitions have it and some don't. Best just to get a rom that has journaling on in the first place. Please also keep in mind that with journaling on it really slows down your system. You might not notice it now, but if you have been used to running ext4 for a while it will seem like molasses some how got in your phone.

not to start a debate, but all the posts/advice that I've seen in the fora here have suggested that doing a restore will enable journaling..
I am currently running a nandroid restore and have been running the same for the last 2 weeks and I have no molasses Although, running ACS, maybe my phone is too "frozen" for the molasses to run out hahaha
YMMV..
