I hope this isnt already in here somewhere. I am on xda app and search seems to search every single forum on xda. I didnt see this addressed while looking so sorry if this is elsewhere. But here goes...
Ok so last night I used odin and did my modem.
Next I flashed clean rom in cwm.
At this point all was fine. I did forget to wipe first but phone booted fine and all seemed well.
Next I tried to power down and volume down into cwm but it said, in red, couldnt verify or something and sent me back to stock recovery.
So I rebooted and used rom manager to reboot into recovery where I flashed jt's 1128 test kernel.
During reboot the voice came on and started with "this make take a few minutes" "step one", pause "step two" then a long pause and it repeated "step one" "step two". It never said success but after repeating the two steps it booted up.
The first time I installed voodoo it started with something about converting data partition or something and of course ended with conversion successful.
So now my phone runs fine. But my quadrant score is right at 900.
Am I running voo doo 5 or not?
I am guessing not and would like to know what to do now.
Help please.
Fascinate oc1.2 for now
Everything sounds good but the score its way to low so imo I'm saying no it didn't take..

i got 2080 on Quadrant running voodoo 4 ???
ya i get 1800+ on voodoo 5
Have you checked the voodoo folder on your sd card and verified the disable_lagfix file isnt still there from a previous voodoo removal?

good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
It sounds like you didnt flash clockwork mod recovery from rom mang. I got the same failer notice when I deleted the update.zip off my sd card. I just flashed it from rom mang. And all was fine. Hope this helps.

Ok so I did flash recovery from rom manager with no change. I still could only get into recovery only from rom manager. Using stock recovery then the update didnt work.
Next I replaced update zip with the original file from when I rooted and it immediatley would load fine.(it was also red)
I tried selecting jt's 1128 test kernel again and it did the same exact thing..."this may take a few minutes"..."step one"..."step two"..."this may take afew minutes"..."step one"..."step two" then it booted up.
Same as yesterday
There is no disable file in voodoo folder so what the heck is going on?
Also when I flash jt's 1126 kernel it just boots. No voice at all.
Argh
Fascinate hopefully with voodoo 5 soon
I would try, disable lagfix, reboot, flash non voodoo kernal, reboot, remove all voodoo stuff on sd card, remove update.zip, install rom mang, flash clockwork recovery, and if all is well, then do the voodoo flash.im not sure about the dj05 tho. So this is all up to you.

You're doing it wrong. Make sure that there isn't a disable_lagfix file. Do an Odin restore back to DH12 system kernel recovery the whole thing. Leave the DJ05 radio. Root the phone and install cwm. Them look in the fascinate dev forum on removing voodoo completely. Do that. Once that is done reinstall clean DJ05 through cwm and then install jt's latest voodoo 5 kernel. It'll run through step one and step 2 twice. And recovery will be red that's the fixed recovery that has voodoo options so you don't need the disable_lagfix file and it has working nandroid backup and restore.

Would the modem.tar i used to get to where i am now be the dj05 radio?

this thread helped me a lot. i was pissed after going thru all the install stuff and whatnot from irc, and then it was slower.
but i forgot that i had the disable_lagfix file still in place. deleted that and booyah. fast little phone.
glad i read this thread.
Thanks for this info it took my quadrant from 1100 to the upper 1700s. Phone is super fast and responsive now, simply incredible.

Update:
So here is what i did. I went into cwm and disabled voodoo and conversion even though i don't think i was running voodoo.
Next i removed all voodoo files on the root of my sd card.
Then i flashed a geeknik kernel (love his kernels)
And finally i rebooted into cwm and flashed jt's 1128 test kernel and all is well with the world. I am now running quadrants in the 1700 range and my phone feels nice and snappy.
Woo hoo.
Thanks for the help
Fascinate oc1.2 for now
So I broke my market like a week ago and can't fix it. The only thing I haven't tried is recovering to a few weeks ago BUT I am unsure if it's safe to do because I am currently running on DJ05 with Nemesis's test 6 sv1100 voodoo kernel.
If I revert back to a time (using the red recovery screen) with dl01 and NO lagfix installed (without a broken market too) will I be okay? If it's okay to do, will DJ05 still end up being installed?
I am fairly new to this but I always try to figure things out myself before asking. However, I was unable to find difinitive answers and I am just unsure.
Any clear help in layman's terms would be greatly appreciated!!

If you are flashing a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo one you must first disable voodoo. Do this by creating a folder or file named disable_lagfix and putting it in the voodoo folder of your sd card.
Just to be safe, reboot fully before flashing anything. It should do the voodoo female robot voice. When you get back onto your home screen run quadrant to ensure your scores are somewhere around 800. If they are still over 1000 voodoo didn't disable properly. If it's disabled you should be all clear to flash a non voodoo kernel. Just make sure if you have a dj05 modem and kernel the rom needs to be dj05 etc. good luck
Edit: just in case I didn't read your post correctly: if you are restoring an old backup of di01 you will also need to flash the stock di01 modem through odin and a di01 kernel through cwm. Hope this helps.

I am running DL09 Super Clean, can I go into Rom Manager and download rom, then go into sonofskywalker3's list and flash anything I want? Such as DL09 Themes and boot animations? Is there something I have to flash first or something?
You can flash whatever you want as long as it says its for dl09 and a lot of dj05 stuff works with it as well.
I assume you flashed the dl09 radio already so there should not be anything else you need to do.

So. I installed Voodoo 5 on my Dl09 fascinate from verizon.... and i tried to install black hole with voodoo disabled and my phone went crazy and almost bricked....
Anyone know a way to COMPLETELY remove voodoo5 on dl09 fascinate?

Are you certain you disabled it? Did you disable lagfix then REBOOT the phone? After that then go back into recovery red and flash the Rom? If you still want to remove voodoo, I believe Adrnalyne has a good post on here. I think it's via Odin

Yell at me if I'm wrong but... Disable voodoo in red recovery. Verify that its disabled. Flash non voodoo kernel. No more voodoo.

Disable in red recovery, REBOOT phone, then go back into red recovery and flash a non voodoo kernel. It's when the phone reboots that the lag fix is actually disabled. That's how I read it from the developers....thnx Adrnalyne, JT, etc.

And post in the right section. This is the Development section, help should be asked for in the General section. Sorry, if I sound rude, but it's really getting frustrating seeing this section getting littered with people asking for help. That's not contributing to development.

yes. the lag fix is the filing system used. when you enable lag ifx, restart, the phone formats the internal system memory to ext4. disable lag fix in red, restart. the phone will then reformat the system memory back to rfs. at this point you still have the voodoo kernel, just on an rfs filing system. once thats don you can flash nonvoodoo. it is completely removed once you flash a nonvoodoo kernel.
So I am running the latest voodoo infused Superclean 2.1 and I found out something that saves a ton of time.
Say you downloaded a .zip file you need to flash in cwr. Before you had to create the disable folder/file, reboot, wait for it to convert back, reboot, flash zip file, remove disable file, reboot..wait for it to enable...
Now I find I can reboot, choose disable voodoo in the new cwr menu, go to zip file and flash it, then immediately toggle voovoo back to enabled, then reboot. No reboots in-between .....
I thought maybe it was a placebo and that voodoo wasn't actually reenabled, but after it booted I ran Linpack and Quadrant and my scores were obviously voodoo enabled scores....
So is it too good to be true?
you are referring to the original voodoo....... I believe the new voodoo source is voodoo 5.

Yes this had been around for some time now to make it easyer so yeah
First, you don't need to disable voodoo to flash 99% of stuff.
Second, disabling voodoo in the menu just creates the disable_voodoo file for you. you'd still have to reboot for it to disable (and wait through the conversion process) for it to be actually disabled. it's even on the screen. "voodoo actually: enabled"
so when you toggle it off, flash, and back on without rebooting, you aren't disabling it at all.
Really? You didn't know that? Voodoo 5 has been out for MONTHS now. This thread should be moved.
There hasnt been the need to disable voodoo to flash most things for months....since we have had voodoo recovery around Thanksgiving....not exactly a new revelation
You guys might be missing a couple points. This is the voodoo that comes packaged in Superclean2.1 EB01 that Adrenalyne just recently released. So no its not the old voodoo.
Another point someone made was 99% of things don't need voodoo disabled. A couple nights ago after installing SC2.1 I tried to install two different zip files. Both times I got an error. Error at Line 2 or Erie at line 4. IRC member said disable voodoo. So I did and all of a sudden they install fine. Ok. But then I see the voodoo toggle in CWR and I try it without revolting in-between and it works.
Maybe I'm not explaining this well.

voodoo5 is voodoo5...theres nothing new in terms of what we can do in recovery with the voodoo options that we couldnt do 2 months ago
ive flashed a ton of stuff in the last few days with voodoo enabled and had no issue or reason to disable/renable in cwr
Well voodoo 5 is new to me. I went from DH12 stock to EB01 Voodoo. Guess its just me learnin'
When jt first released voodoo for eb01 he didn't have cwm fixed yet. About 30 minutes later he released another eb01-voodoo.zip that was 5mb bigger (13mb) because it included a working cwm. Since then I have flashed and restored many times without error or disabling. SC2.1 voodoo includes voodoo5 and working cwm in the zip. If you're still getting an error in red cwm then maybe something is borked and you should start over. Hope this helps.
And all questions should be posted in general. You'll likely get plenty of responses there as well.

Just to clarify, the ONLY time you ever need to disable the lag fix after enabling it is if you intend to flash a non-Voodoo kernel of any kind. That's because a non-Voodoo kernel is incapable of reading the ext4 filesystem and will freak out when trying to boot. As long as you use the red CWM (which is compatible with ext4; green CWM, like non-Voodoo kernels is not), then you can do nandroid backups/restores and flash roms, themes, and other Voodoo kernels as much as you want without having to worry about disabling the lag fix.
Oh, and disabling and then enabling the lag fix from the CWM menus without rebooting does absolutely nothing, because it has to reboot in between to run the scripts that actually enable or disable the lag fix (this is when you hear the female robotic voice).

I've just switched to superclean 2.2 with voodoo, and it's my first time using it. I'm enjoying it so far, but I've already made the noob mistake of using rom manager to boot into recovery. Luckily it was only a boot animation, so the flash failed and no damage was done. Just have to get used to manually booting into red cwr.
But it's really good to know I can flash roms without disabling as long as I use red cwr. Didn't see a clear answer to that before. And I can flash other voodoo kernels as well without disabling? Say, for example, kaosinate rom and kernel? Been wanting to try that and jt's vanilla

Not sure about jt's, but kaos's kernel is a Voodoo kernel, so yes, you wouldn't need to disable the lag fix before flashing it.

I suggest you stop using voodoo since you clearly know nothing about how it works. As started by someone else, the only time you need to disable voodoo is when flashing a non voodoo kernel. The errors that you got are clearly install script errors. NOT because you're voodoo'd. So you and the person you got advice from know nothing about how voodoo works so I suggest you save yourself the trouble and stop using it.

I am not sure what is ment by"other" voodoo kernels. I thought voodoo 5 itself was the kernel. Now from reading these posts I have lost some understanding of voodoo. If there are other voodoo kernels, are those others voodoo 5 based? What normal kernel is the stock voodoo 5 based on?
