Please help!!!, I have JT's Voodo (Ext 4 installed) on my samsung fascinate, and I tried deactivating it using the voodoo toggle app so that I could flash his super clean rom. Things appeared to go ok, but now i'm stuck on the reboot screen (have the droid peeing on apple) for an hour now. I know JT said wait it out, but I havent read about anybody having it in reboot for over an hour. I dont know what to do??????
You have a date with Adrynalyne's how to completely remove voodoo thread. Somewhere here in development.
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.

Good luck
Thanks ice. Not near a computer.
good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
got that, and it's already not working. I can't get it to boot into recovery.
Boot to cwm (battery pull, and hold up volume while putting it back in and connected to usb),
when I do that, it just comes back up to the droid peeing boot screen.
Is it that hard to post your question in the right spot?
Hold both vol up and down and then power and that will get you to stock recovery.
highlight apply sdcard:update.zip and hit home button. Now you should be in Clockwork.
In clockwork the back button is accept.
good day.
Since it's a problem with voodoo developed for the fascinate, the developers of voodoo might know the best answer. And since there is no help and support section, this is the next best section to put it.
Hold both vol up & vol down then hold power until you see "SAMSUNG" then release only the power button - keep holding vol up & vol down until you enter stock recovery.
Once in stock recovery use the volume rocker to select "Apply update.zip" you will need to use the "home" soft button to select it. This should get you into Clockworkmod recovery.
Don't mind him he could give a **** about lending a hand with a borked device. He could have sent a pm to the mod to have it moved. Hope your devoodooing works.
good day.
cant get to clockwork from stock recovery
Ok, so part of that worked. I got into stock recovery, but I couldnt get into clockwork. I think it was because I moved the update.zip file into a folder on the sd card that I had made to keep all my rooting related zip files organized.
Am I totally screwed now, or can i do something to fix this??
Pull card from phone and use a reader to move it back to the right place.
good day.
Thank you, guess I'll be without a phone until I can track down a reader, or an adapter. My computer only reads mini and above.
should just be able to use adb to push CWM update.zip to SD root, and run that via reg recovery... then run the auto unvoodoo'er or manual method
I did this with no problems and then unvoodoo'd myself after a mess up. ADb should still be able to push a file if you are in recovery mode
ok, i ll give that a try. Thanks
I had the exact same problem and when I say exact thats what I mean. I could get into stock recovery but not clock work. finally I tried the update zip from stock recovery and with the vodoo it would not read it from the card. So what I did was push CWM back onto my phone through Odin and once I did that the update zip was back on the SD card and I could get onto CWM from there by choosing update.zip from stock recovery. Once I did that I pulled the SD card and put it in my HTC eris and went to adrynalyne's site and put the undo vodoo.zip on the SD card, thats the simple download at the bottom of the page. I put the card back in my fascinate and booted into stock recovery chose the update.zip which put me in CWM recovery and from there chose the undo vodoo.zip. when I hit reboot it did not take long at all but it was back to normal, give it a try ,wosked for me.
By the way, that vodoo on off switch app comes in very handy. But every time you turn it on or off you have to hit reboot in order for it to take effect. If you just tuned it off and started flashing you got vodooed
I put my card in a friend's phone to move the update.zip back to SDcard root. He left, so I ended up using adb push to put the voodoo_uinstall on my sd card. After a reset, and nandroid backup, I'm up and running pre-voodoo. I'm sure I'll be back on a version once I figure out which ROM (prob JT clean ROM) I want to flash on my phone.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

In clockwork recovery there is a backup function. Its basically the same thing as a nandroid but it does have a few more features like only restoring your data.
yes,its in clockwork recovery>backup/restore options

This sound like you are using rom manager to me from the android os. Is this right? If so it also (could be or) sounds like you are entering the default recovery rather than clockwork. Did you install clockwork via one-click or alternative method first?

One click but I have installed the the one from rom maager..
When the phone reboots from ROM Manager, you need to hold the camera+vol down+power buttons before it starts rebooting.
I tried it already,I just noticed it says android system recovery (2e)
Try turning your phone off than turning on with the three button method. Hold power+volume down+camera. That should get you into clockwork. Lettering should be green and not blue like stock recovery. If it appears blue than you dont have clockwork installed. Try the one click method. It has clockwork redirector which means any apps you may use that has recovery options it'll take you straight to clockwork. Hope this helps.
I have tried that and yes the letters are blue and says android system recovery 2e..is there a manual .img I can flash via adb or terminal emulator I have tried one click that's how I rooted but no luck,I tried rom manager install recovery but no luck.,am starting to miss amon-rec.img but loving the epic so far ..help guys please....the only I can say I miss about the evo is 2.2 but not much

Try the all in one. Its a sticky in the dev section. It roots and installs clockwork with redirector. Or if you can find the one click clockwork recovery alone. Maybe that'll help. Don't ue rom manager so I'm sorry can't help on that app.

It sounds like you don't have CW recovery installed properly. You can't do it from rom manager if you are on stock kernel. Use the newest one click, I think its like version 2.5.5 or something like that. Then boot while holding the 3 buttons. It should bring you to a screen that looks very much like the amon ra recovery (minus the carebear).
Hold down all three buttons until it boots to CWM. If the blue letters still come up then you don't have CWM. The script for the CWM redirector doesn't work properly on my Epic.

Unsure what that means. Does rom manager even install cw? Try the one click. You appear to be doing the right combo to get u to the recovery screen but it seems the default is where you are going to. One click root and cwm with redirector that puppy and let us know how it goes.

I wanted to update to CM7, once it rebooted into recovery mode it gives me an error. I got the official Sprint update and the same thing happens. Once it verifies the file, something happened and it says there was an error and does not update. I did a factory reset on the phone, got the official sprint update and the same thing happened. The error is always "signature verification failed" on both roms.
What can I do?
Thanks.
When flashing a rom, are you selecting 'install from SD" then find where you saved the zip, etc?
It sounds like you're trying it thru the update.zip option (don't do that). Also, when you reboot into recovery, you should be seeing orange type clockwork 3.0.0.6 (not blue or green).
Ask if you have any other questions.

Are you using cwm 3?
Thanks for the replies guys.
I am using clockword mod 3, with their option on updates.
I don't know how to do the "update from sd", haven't seen that. I'm not sure if I am seeing the orange you mention...I just go to restart in recovery mod from CM3.

If you don't see orange text you're not on CWM3, you are either on CWM 2.5 or stock recovery and neither of those would be used for what you want to do.
Ya, check out the development section on getting the latest clockwork, if you don't have it already. And just in case, first, try powering off your phone, then hold camera button, volume down and power (after device is completely shut off). If you don't see orange text, you should update to the latest clockwork.

I turned off the phone, turned it on with the vol down/camera button and it automatically booted on CM recovery 3.0.0.5. Doing a rom backup. Then I see the orange text with several options but I can't pick any of them...I'm hitting the "home" button but nothing.
The phonr wont respond...I can toggle between the options but thats it.

And now the phone is stuck in the SAMSUNG screen...
Bricked...tried factory reset and nothing. Tried restore through CWM and nothing...
If you are able to get into CWM or download mode then your phone is not bricked. It sounds like you will have to use ODIN to restore your phone back to stock.

ClockworkMod 3 automatically converts your phone's filesystem from RFS to EXT4. You need a ROM that supports EXT4 or else it won't boot.
You wanted CM7 so go ahead and flash that if it's on the sd card. If you don't have it on the card it's easy to fix. Just turn off your phone and plug your memory card into a computer and copy a ROM that supports CWM3.
Once you flash a ROM your phone should boot normally.
Bro, when u boot into clockwork (orange) are u opening the slider and using the arrows and enter key. ? You shouldn't be using the home key.
Don't be so quick to "I'm bricked" .. cuz that's rarely the case. And annoying when ppl are trying to help.

K, thx for being patient. I did Odin and its again working.
Now the phone updated to 2.2.1
For future reference, can this Odin method be used o update to a non official rom (like CM7)?
Thanks for all the help.
I wouldn't rely odin for that, and as far as I know, no. For frame of reference, I've probably flashed epic roms over 100 times, and have only odin'd 5-- Used mostly to return to stock/update a modem. So, odining probably wasn't necessary for you. Do what arashed says a few posts up.
I'm using SRF 1.1.0/Twilight Zone and its amazing. Battery lasts a lot longer too.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your support!
Search function is down but I did go through a few pages of threads looking for what was going on and no luck but I apologize if this has been solved somewhere else.
First off I would rate my rooting know-how as beginner to intermediate. I've jailbroken/unlocked multiple iPhones awhile back and have rooted/flashed roms on a cliq, mts, my3g, and this mt4g before.
I recently returned my current mt4g back to stock rom and unrooted. I do not think I turned s back on but I should have double checked before.
I currently have root and flashed clockwork and am trying to flash CM7 (I had ran it before on this phone as well). I have an issue right now where I cannot get into clockwork recovery as it will just sit at the mytouch logo forever and if I try and volume up and power into recovery all I get is 3 vibrations and a flashing amber light.
I can boot into the stock (but rooted) rom.
Any ideas? I feel like my recovery is broken or something but this goes beyond what I know. Any help would be great and any information you need I'll be happy to provide.
myTouch 4G, rooted, s (probably) off, stock rom, clockwork says i'm on 3.0.2.4
After reading that, I'm not fully convinced you actually have root and S-OFF. If you're sure you do, download ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install a fresh copy of CWM recovery. Also make sure the "fast boot" option is turned off somewhere under Settings. At that point, there should be nothing preventing you from getting into recovery if you have perm root.
I've got ROM Manager and it has SU permissions and I have the latest recovery flashed but I am still stuck on mytouch logo or the 3 vibrations/amber light when I try to get to recovery. If I reboot there is still no problem getting SU in terminal emulator or ROM manager or anything.
Fast boot is off as well. Thanks for the help so far.
Any ideas?
I don't often boot into recovery manually since most custom ROMs have an enhanced reboot menu with a recovery option, but if memory serves, I believe the key press combination is actually Power + Volume Down, not up like you mentioned in your OP. Give that a try.
Man I am really crazy. Here I am a tmo rep and also a novice modder and I'm hitting power + volume up.
Worked like a charm.. Now just to figure out why clockwork is sitting at the mytouch screen when trying to install CM7.
Thanks for the fresh set of eyes!

After flashing CM7, the phone hangs at the myTouch screen when attempting the first boot?
From ROM Manager if I try to flash CM7 from there it goes to the mytouch screen and hangs before anything else happens.

What if you select the "boot into recovery" option in ROM Manager? Does the phone reboot into CWM recovery? (you should see the main CWM menu in orange text)
Boot into recovery takes me to MT4G logo and hangs.

So you don't have a good installation of CWM. Open ROM Manager again and re-flash a fresh recovery. I think there's an option to wipe your existing recovery beforehand, so if you see that, select it. You need to get a working recovery image before you can do much else.
Deleted current recovery and I confirm my model again and it takes a total of 5 seconds. Trying to reboot into recovery again after and I still hang at MT4G.
I hate it when you know something you need to do but you've been working on it so long you can't come up with new ideas.
Thanks again for the help.
Sorry multipost since it didn't register on my computer the first time for some reason
Yeah sorry man, I've never heard of a situation where CWM stubbornly refuses to install. If you have the engineering bootloader, you could manually flash it that way, but that's my only other idea.
Alright well thanks for all the help man, I'll dig around and pick up tomorrow.
I ended up looking for the recovery myself on the SD card and deleted it and then it flashed no problem. Thanks again for the help

Sure, glad you figured it out.
Hey everyone. I've been working on my wife's Evo and I rooted the phone and added CWM 3.0.0.5. I installed CM7 and she did not like it so I went to a rooted stock ROM. Now, whenever I try to boot into recovery from power off (volume down + power) it will do nothing. If I just release the power button the phone will power up normally. I have to pull the battery and then it will boot into recovery using the two finger method. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
I woukd go to the dev section, search clockwork, then re-flash the rom via PC36IMG file in the bootloader.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

Are you saying I should re-flash the ROM or CWM? I'm an Epic 4G guy so the Evo 4G (PC36IMG and Bootloaders) is a new thing for me.
Same problem with me but mines does auto backup on auto. So i just flash amon ra recovery.

you can get this from his PC36IMG file on the root of your sd, or use CWM 2.5.0.7. i had the EXACT same issue. i read that 3.0.0.5 has trouble wiping everything, 3.0.0.7 seems to be stable, but i stick with what i know.
