Hi all,
Sot of new to modding, think I screwed up and could use some help. Was doing this one click speed fix: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417
It didn't appear to work the first time, as I received a message and exited the application, however the symbol was still in the notification bar. Re-ran it, and it seemed to have worked, mostly, as the phone was blazing fast. Went immediately to run quadrant and check the benchmark, but it force closed every time it hit the i/o section. tried to go to market, foreclose every time. Figured it may need a reboot, powered off, and that's was all she wrote.
I can get into the battery charging screen and have been able to get to recovery, but nothing else. I haven't used adb or ODIN at all yet, but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
The phone was already rooted, and i have titanium back up and nandroid backups, but don't really know how to get to them.
If you did a nandroid backup, just go in recovery screen and restore backup. If not, flash back to stock rom.
well maybe i dont know what im talking about then. I guess I thought i did a nandroid.
When i go into recovery i get four options: reboot system now, reinstall packages, clear all user data, clear cache data.
none of them work
Did you install clock work recovery via Rom manager?
well it has turned on now. removed sim and memory card and hit reinstall packages. ive got the standard twlauncher running but, it repeatedly gives me force close notifications that android.process.media has stopped and i cannot access the menu

yes, i did. i remember doing that precisely as shown in your tips and tricks thread
alright, so i got it into download mode, gonna reflash everything to stock and see where i went wrong as outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Will update with results, but would be nice to figure out where i went wrong so as not to repeat the error.
If you can get into recovery just wipe and reflash eugenes vibrant4.zip.
Alright, back to stock. unrooted also? gonna mess some more and see if i can get my clockword recovery to restore everything.
okay, so my theory is that the lag fix i used installed an update.zip that overwrote the clockword mod one. Now im just trying to restore using titanium backup, but it is telling me that it doesnt have root access. i know im rooted, as i just did it and reinstalled rom manager and drocap. hmmmmm.....
Thats not all thats funny. i cant find the superuser app anywhere on here. also, i cannot install one from the market.
and im having issues with root explorer.

I would re-root and then follow the flash the ROM mentioned above. There is a thread in the DEV forum.

You need to root again to get the superuser on your phone. As for the one click lag fix, I used to original method and it went pretty well. No problems so far. I also flashed Vibrant4 by Eugene before doing the lag fix. Hope it helps
same thing happened to me. I'm stuck on the galaxy S boot screen. i can get into the samsung recovery screen but not the clockwork recovery. I backed up my nandroid and Rom but don't know how to get into the menu to restore. I only have the update.zip for the lag fix on the internal sd so can't restore that way. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

There may be other ways around it, but I restored fully to stock, then re-rooted. I'm back up and running no problem now. Had some issues with titanium backup but got around that and its batch restoring as i type.

Would you mind saying how you did that?
I tried wiping and flashing the stock via renaming it update.zip, and I'm still getting FC city. Mostly media, but, calendar, everything. I'm going to post a link to this in that thread, since many, it seems, were left hanging in a boot loop.

Just follow what I did through the thread.
I did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 to get back to complete stock, then i had to root it twice. Once did the one click, then the good root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
back up and running. had to research about titanium backup to get it up and running. I want to do the lag fix still, but im nervous from before.
Your nervous? I really would like to do this but i'm scared (cuss)less.
I've read what needs to be done and think that I've figured it out.
(pretty new to droid)... but, have also read the horror stories here
about bricking your phone...which nowadays can happen to any
phone you have....don't get me started on the apple pie!
But, really when it gets a simple as installing an .APK I'll be happy.

The galaxy s seems pretty hard to brick. I'd say just go for the lag fix. Worse thing that happens is you have to take like 15min to download and use odin to reflash to stock. The lag fix seems pretty safe as long as you stay rooted

Vibrant Recovery Mode HowTo
THIS GUIDE WORKED ON USA T-MOBILE SAMSUNG VIBRANT BUT MAY VERY WELL WORK ON ALL SAMSUNG GALAXYS PHONES
After reading many XDA-Developers Forum Posts to try and figure out how to get into the Recovery Mode / Download Mode without any success, I gave T-Mobile Support a call.
After the usual noop run-down, "did you take the battery out" questions, I simply asked them how to get the Samsung Vibrant into recovery mode.
Unline the many tutorials that claim to require the Up or Down button pressed, along with the Home button then the Power, the true process is as follows:
1. Press the Up and the Down button at the same time (yes both). I too thought that button was a Toggle which only did either Up or Down, but found that in fact it does do both.
2. At the same time, press the power button.
3. As soon as the Samsung / Vibrant logo comes up on the screen, release the power button.
4. Release the Up and Down buttons.
5. PRESTO
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......
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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...
Alright, so....
I did a complete voodoo uninstall per Adrenalyns thread, ODIN back to stock, re-root. On either DI01 or DJ05 I have no market download ability, my Gtalk wont open (immediately closes) and nothing I do seems to work. I have ODIN'd about four times now, and no luck so far,
Any ideas?

Lol. I've tried everything I think. This is new to me. Will do this again and pst results.
Edit: No dice. Market says starting download, but never pulls anything down. Try to open Gtalk, and it just immediately closes down. Going to look at steps in next post. I'm really frazzled at this point.
You could also try the three step process here (post 2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865076
Root explorer is the only file manager I have tried that can do step 2 easily though... And you may not have it installed given your predicament. Also note that titanium backup released a new version today that improves data wiping support for Galaxy S phones.
EDIT: I had run into the same issue with Market myself. Happened when I flashed stock kernel from adrynalyne's completely unvoodoo thread over my existing DJ05 (prerelease) Blackhole 2.2 using CWMR. I have never once installed Voodoo, so it was not related.
I didn't spend time troubleshooting it though. Nandroid restore via rom manager fixed me.

Adrynalyne has a sweet Odin package under the development forum. Its called di01package3.tar and its a single flash file of about half a gig. I would link it but I am in a rush. It should be on the second page. Its a great package I've tried to brick my phone and this brings it back all the time. Tell me how it goes.

Found that this morning and flashed it. Also did a standard restore, file by file. whatever the problem is, it's on my phone, and it's not something that is being overwritten with the ODIN files. I even signed in under my finace's login and had the same market issues, otherwise I would assume it was my google profile.

Just pointing out that Daswolven is up to exactly 666 posts right now.
He may really have to take it to Verizon now and tell them his phone needs an exorcism. But as stated before, it would be best to figure out what the hell happened... he did nothing wrong, and he tried everything in the playbook. Stumped! *Bump*
Have you wiped data/cache from stock recovery? Thats the only thing I can think of.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah, he exhausted my entire list (Re: post 4), AND did fallingup's backtostock recovery steps, AND did Adrynalyne's all inclusive backtostock MEGA Odin recovery, AND did a stock nandroid recovery. His phone is a scientific mystery at this point.
Mystery it is. I managed to screw something up that is beyond ODIN or backup. lol. I'm sure it's voodoo related. Have some ideas to play with tomorrow though. we'll see.
Just curious, if Odin was used, which destroys voodoo (especially if using my odin file), how can it be a voodoo issue?
Reset your gf's phone and put your account data in. Wouldn't shock me if market failed on her phone.
Sounds like your problem is with your Google account. My bro in law had the exact problem with his fascinate and his was completely stock. His account miraculously started working again out of the blue after like 2 days lol. Good luck.
Just as a side note. I find my life happiest if I refresh all of my titanium backups before a data wipe, ESPECIALLY adw.
I have suspicions that some combination of rejiggered app versions between updates confuses the hell out of some shoddily written code in market so it is always nice to be able to go to the exact setup you recently had for everything you installed before the update. I say the bug is with Google Market.
When it sees this kind of error, it should be smart enough to recognize that no download is happening, and handle it in some way, or throw an error. Sitting there dumb-struck shows a lapse in engineering. And whomever might be in the peanut gallery that wants to bring up the halting problem and Alan Turing... he died of cyanide poisoning. Market is too important to be this fragile... bottom line!
Speaking of that, did you happen to try Titanium Backup's Market Doctor under settings? I doubt it will do anything for you. But hey, why not?
That said... Never seen anything that Odin couldn't save me from.

Not only does my market work on her phone, but when I log into mine as her it doesn't. added to the mystery is my verizon app doesn't recognize my number, but tech support was unable to correct.
I did use titanium market doctor. I honestly think I've tried everything. lol.
I am beginning to believe my issue has to be a verizon network problem. There's no way that I can see it being hardware or software at this point. What the hell they would have to do with anything I have no clue.
As for voodoo, I only know that was where the problem started. I was flash happy and tried to flash Superclean 0.9 directly over a stock build straight from rom manager without disabling or using the red CWM. phone wouldn't boot past Sammy logo. Couldn't boot from a restore, and that's where my trips to ODIN started.
But yeah, once there, voodoo shouldn't have anything to do with it. In the end, it was just my not paying attention. lol.
After trying everything in the book, no dice. I did the unthinkable, and called Verizon tech support after reverting completely to stock. They couldn't troubleshoot it, of course, and sent a replacement. Came in today. Logged in, went to market, works fine.
Logged back into my other and no dice.
At this point the issue is a mystery, but at least it's resolved. I hate replacing like that, I always disagree with it, but I did actually try everything. lol.
Glad you have a working phone again Daswolven, sorry it took a trip to vz replacement.
I just blew away my market too. In my case, I was upgrading my blackhole install the lazy way. I narrowed down the cause to be wiping data and then being overzealous with Titanium.
I fixed by (wiping data again and) purging counter-productive backups, particularly:
* deleting my Accounts system data backup (copied gmail password from keypass instead)
* deleting my adw backup (adw has its own means of backing up settings and layout)
* continuing to abuse titanium
Note: this wouldn't have fixed Daswolven's problem.
As a side note, clockwork recovery froze up twice looking for data pre-install. Turned out to be nnd, just a battery pull.
All good now.

find the DL09 Verizon official odin package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451 . it will update EVERYTHING including radio to DL09. Then re root using ADB again. get CWM using CWM install thread here on XDA, then flash this rom. done.
make sure you flash DL09 in "PDA" NOT "phone" using ODIN.
so please dont mind my ignorant qquestions.. but im not familier with odin ive read a bit about it.. but do i need to unroot before i do that.. or not.. and cant i just say f adb and use a one click at that point?
Before you install the complete stock DL09 package posted above (which is resistant to one-click rooting, by the way), consider this option:
1. Download the DL09 modem by itself here: http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09modem.tar
2. Download Odin here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. Pull battery from device
4. Launch Odin
5. Hold volume down button and plug device into computer
-This will place the device into download mode
6. Verify device shows up in odin
7. Click "PDA" button in odin
8. Select "DL09modem.tar" from where you downloaded it
9. Click "Start"
10. Congratulations - you now have the DL09 modem installed. Now you're ready to install your froyo build using Clockwork recovery. Might I suggest this (http://www.mediafire.com/?f282mms2jb2ra2q) one?
If you are on windows just use Odin. It is very easy and you are okay if rooted. Just make sure you read instructions. There is one button that can be painful if you don't know what you are doing.

Do you know who created Odin?
Maybe we can request him/her to release another version of the app without the "phone" button.

Before you install the complete stock DL09 package posted above (which is resistant to one-click rooting, by the way), consider this option:
1. Download the DL09 modem by itself here: http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09modem.tar
2. Download Odin here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. Pull battery from device
4. Launch Odin
5. Hold volume down button and plug device into computer
-This will place the device into download mode
6. Verify device shows up in odin
7. Click "PDA" button in odin
8. Select "DL09modem.tar" from where you downloaded it
9. Click "Start"
10. Congratulations - you now have the DL09 modem installed. Now you're ready to install your froyo build using Clockwork recovery. Might I suggest this (http://www.mediafire.com/?f282mms2jb2ra2q) one?

I always assumed it was a Samsung designed product but I don't know. I also hypothesized that it is not just for Android and that the phone button is for feature phones but I really have no idea and have not cared enough to research it.

Granted, it seems like an involved process, but most advice posts group most of these steps into one, like saying "Flash DL09 modem in Odin" without actually explaining how to do so, since there are other posts that can be found in this forum with these more detailed instructions.
Believe me, if you flash the entire DL09 stock package, rooting will be much harder to do. If you flash this package, you probably will have to root using adb again, since as far as I know no one-click root method has worked consistently on the stock DL09 ROM.
and i need to root again b4 flashing 2.2 i have rom manager and titainium backup.. .so to save all of my paid apps.. i just back them up using ti backup right???
and one more thing.. the link you posted for 2.2 theres no info on it.. what makes it so special

If you only installed the DL09 modem using Odin, you shouldn't have to root again... if you installed the entire DL09 package, you will need to re-root.
Regarding Titanium Backup, go ahead and back up your apps, use Clockwork recovery to install your DL30 build, then reinstall Titanium Backup and do a batch restore (I'm assuming you already know how to use Titanium Backup, but I'll be glad to walk you through it if you don't). You should only back up and restore user apps, NOT system data! (choose "backup all user apps" from the batch menu when backing up, and choose either "restore missing apps with data" when restoring - do NOT choose "restore missing apps + all system data"). Restoring system data after making the jump from Eclair to Froyo is almost guaranteed to cause problems.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... had to take a powernap... you shouldn't lose anything on your sd card... I've flashed countless ROMs, kernels, themes, etc. without losing anything. Contacts should be good, too. Just to be safe, though, you might want to make sure your contacts and calendar appointments are saved and/or synced to your google account and not just stored on your phone.

Reboot into CWR (both volume buttons held in) while booting until you see “Vibrant'
Once there, go to Backup and run that. Should take about 5 minutes, maybe more.
If all hell breaks loose, this is a snapshot of your phone at that point... it's important to do this before flashing a new ROM!
I'm sure it's something stupid on my side BUT, all the options i have after booting in CWR are(blue): reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data, format internal sd-card.
I decided NOT to touch any of those now since i cant find the Backup option on there, so i just rebooted my phone. Please guide me with a link or something. Thanks. I don't want to rush things.

thats the cwm recovery, i dont think you backup from there.
you backup using the app, and nandroid I think.
also make sure to save the backup onto your computer also!
also, there is a special folder, i forget which folder it is. it must be backed up separately i think. It contains your phones imei and other information, without it your radio and phone will not make calls. back that up. I forget what its called. If you loose that, you lost it for good and your phone is junk

That's actually incorrect. What you described is still the stock recovery menu. Cwm recovery has more options, and the text will either be green or red, depending on whether you have the ext4 (voodoo) lagfix applied.
If you have the correct CWM update.zip file on the root of your internal sd, then boot into stock recovery and select "reinstall packages." You'll be thrown back into stock recovery, whereupon you select reinstall packages a second time. That second one will put you in CWM recovery.
And to clarify, you CAN restore/backup from CWM (as well as many other things...maybe read up on that). Just remember that a backup does not include your kernel, in case you bounce between 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 roms.
Hope that helps...good luck.

You're thinking of EFS. I don't believe you can back that up through recovery. There is a different procedure for that which I can't recall off the top of my head.
Don't forget, after flashing you should wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and fix permissions. All are options in the recovery.
Hi guys, all went smoothly and I am now using Axura ROM 2.3.1.3 and I got to say WOW,I love this ROM, very stabile,GPS works a breeze and battery life seems good also, thanks for your support.
