I let it sit there for about 15 mins.
and it was the Voodoo for both 2.4 and 2.6

My understanding is that you were suppose to disable the lagfix before flashing any new rom voodoo or not when coming from a voodoo rom

I never disable lagfix and it works everytime. My understanding is that you don't have to disable lagfix if you are flashing voodoo rom over voodoo. If you are reverting back to non-voodoo, then yes you have to disable the lagfix.

Sorry to hear that mine worked fine. My one question is with the battery stats wipe which is included in this rom. Should I do it through cwm or the old way with terminal emulator or is it automatically wiped? Tried to post in development section but I was not allowed.

What do you mean you chose the update.zip option? You should have chosen the zip from sdcard option, if you did choose the update.zip option that may be the problem. Someone with more experience could shed some light but you may need to flash the cwm again.

No, it is perfectly fine to flash a voodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel without disabling first.

Hello
Are you able to get into clockwork recovery? Do you have the cwr update.zip on your sdcard?
If not pull the card and load the recovery update.zip on it. Reflash. If it works then:
Then wipe data and cache. Then system, boot, data, datadb, and sd-ext. Then dalvik. Wipe data/cache once more and flash sc2.6.
If it doesnt work youll need to use that complete odin package and begin again.
Good luck

I did that too on my gf's phone. Completely stuck at Samsung logo.
I found an odin file to completely go back to DI01 unrooted, and another to go all the way to EB01 deodexed rooted superclean's rom. It was amazing.
I can't seem to find it right now, but I'll update this post if I do.

Both are forum threads. The latter will give you options as well as to which rom you want installed, and how clean it is. Adrenalyn even threw in red clockwork. But it'll only take you as far as superclean v2. But at that point you should have a fully functional phone that you can try to flash another rom over.

Did I say kernal? Pretty sure I said rom... And all voodoo tutorials say, even if it works for you without doing so, that you should disable lagfix before flashing ANYTHING in recovery.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Disabling lagfix is the safer way because there is always a possibility that the new rom you are flashing was mislabeled and is not actually voodoo, or you may accidently choose the wrong zip to flash and flash non-voodoo. If you've disabled, this is a minor oops. If not, it could be major.

ever sense the red recovery that came with voodoo 5. You do not need to disable lagfix unless your flashing a non voodoo KERNEL.. So if your cwm is red disabling is not necessary unless the rom includes a non voodoo KERNEL..

THANKS A LOT!! That worked!!!

You need to install the red clockworkmod and clear dalvich cache and do a full wipe. You probably have the wrong clockworkmod. Check the threads for the red one and reinstall the rom.

Can not restore my phone

I want to preface this by saying I have spent 4 hours trying to recover my phone and I have tried all the things suggested in the treads, including what worked for me last time.
I installed a kernal for using the buttons backlighting for notifications which apparently works on the Fascinate. My phone never rebooted from that. I tried to install Clockwork and install an update.zip or an old restore file and it would not read off my SD properly/was not effective. I then tried using Odin to flash over the system, kernal, and recovery. Still no dice. I formatted my sd and tried to install clockwork again and everytime I try to access it through installing update.zip it says that signature verification failed and the installation is aborted and does not even reach clockwork.
I hope someone can help me. I have tried everything I can think of and have had zero luck.
PS: Currently my phone will show SAMSUNG but keep looping

[Q] Latest GPS FIX

Can some one please tell me witch gps fix is the latest one and witch one in your opinion actually works. I see that a popular fix is the Dj05 radio fix and there is even a hardware fix out for the vibriant that bends the gps antenna contact. So witch one should I try first? witch actually works and witch are known not to work?
I searched and came up with a lot of different threads and I think we should consolidate all those threads and list all the fixes and make a poll asking witch fix worked better for the users. This is a very common problem and I am surprised there are no stickies threads been update regularly with the latest info. The biggest problem is that there are MANY threads about it and some are very old, not sure if there are better fixes now.
So please help me list and consolidate all those threads, I will update this post showing all your input. I also have 3 fascinates that all are a little different when it comes to gps and would love to try the fixes and post my results on all three.
Edit: I would also like to write the proper way to test your gps, I see some threads have this buried in between the gps fix steps and I would like to make it more obvious so if you know how to properly test the gps, let me know. I know there are some apps like gps test and status that show you lots of info, would be great to see a list results with a working gps and a faulty one.
thanks.

When I was running stock, and rooted dI01 I laterally could not acquire a signal. I tried leaving it on, outside in the open, for over an hour, and nothing.
Going to dj05 I can lock within 10 seconds or less.

I tried following the guide on this link, successfully installed the radio via odin, tried installing the rom and kernel through clockwork but I do not have an option to choose zip file from sd card. the only option i get is to apply sdcard: update.zip. I changed the name of the rom zip file to update.zip and tried to flash it but it told me it failed to verify whole-file signature. What should I do now?
the guide does not explain much so I need some help.
Did you flash clockworkmod recovery through odin, then flash clockwork from rom manager? If so you should have an update.zip on your sd card that when applied takes you to clockwork then you can choose which zip to flash from there...

I do not think I flashed clockwork with odin, what I did is installed the dj05 Radio with odin by checking pda and finding the file, then pressing start. after that, the phone rebooted and I installed rom manager. Once in rom manager I installed the latest clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.0. I do not have an update.zip file there on the root of my sdcard. what did I do wrong? How do I fix it? THanks
in about phone I can see that baseband version is s:i500 V.DJ05
The fascinate is different from other phones you need to flash clockwork through odin then in rom manager here is a link on how to flash through odin

Flash that, then delete any update.zips on your sd card, then in rom manager flash clockwork and it will download an update.zip that when applied from stock recovery will take you into clockwork... Once all that is done if you already have the modem installed boot into clockwork and select install zip and find the DJ05 rom you downloaded, flash that and you should be all set...

I rebooted and it does the same, no splash screen. I waited a few seconds to make sure it booted all the way and the screen turn on by it self. seems like somehow I messed up the splash screen. I am going to try and go back to stock then try this again. I tested the gps on all 3 of my phones. white one is still doing the best, OG one (stock) is still doing same as before and the new one with dj05 is using more sats that the OG(6/8), but the OG has more sats in view (5/9). Is that weird?
That djo5 kernel from thread does not support boot animations. It's normal for that kernel.
good day.

OCLF Problems on Froyo

I've tried to do some searching on here about RyanZA's OCLF app. i recently updated to the official froyo update and seem to have problems with the lag fix when trying to install it. It says it fails but i still see an increase in quadrant, but not the 2100-2200 i was seeing with 2.1.
Anyone else having this issue? Any help is appreciated. thanks
BTW i do mean i can't find anything regarding the OFFICIAL froyo update and oclf
Stop using OCFL .. there is a better solution, Voodoo. You should be able to get KA6 and KA7 kernel that includes voodoo, just search the development section. Voodoo is much better and cleaner solution, even Nexus S using the same filesystem (ext4).
I dont know anything about voodoo. Im still pretty much a noob when it comes to rooting. I did oclf because ot was easy. How do I go about usimg voodoo?

The man knows what he's talking about. Drop OCLF in my opinion. Search the Android dev section for Scrizz's thread with kernels and modems and flash one with voodoo. Use 3 button recovery to get red recovery and simply go to advanced menu and enable. Sit back and relax while Linda does her thing. Give her about 10 minutes. BOOM!

OCLF 2.0 works, but the OS doesn't "think" it works. The speeds are increased something terrible, but still nothing like the 2000+ scores from OCLF in 2.1. Voodoo is a very clean lagfix.
Go on over to the development section and look at most of the roms, you can download Voodoo.
Voodoo isn't a lagfix, it's a file system conversion. It just happens to get rid of lag because it's a better file system.

It's just splitting hairs at this point. "Lagfix" is a loose term thrown around just as "brick".
OCLF converts rfs to ext2. Whereas voodoo converts to ext4.

unless it's been changed, the oclf just creates an ext2 file in the data partition which was then used as a buffer for writing. voodoo converts the entire data and system partitions to ext4. so the oclf was a temp fix/workaround while voodoo is a solution because it gets rid of rfs, and now with voodoo enabled roms, you don't have to disable/reenable voodoo, you just flash the new rom with voodoo enabled.
I've tried using cwm to flash the voodoo modem/kernals but i can't seem to get in to work. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong. like i said i don't really know much about this stuff.
i open rom manager, go to install rom, go to external sd card, then the voodoouvka6 modemupdate.zip
i reboot to complete installation, then what should i do? if i go to reinstall packages it fails. and if i just reboot it doesn't seem to do anything. i tried to do ka7 before and didn't see anything change, now i'm trying ka6.

Since you are on the official, download the KA6 kernel that is .zip and flash like anything else through clockworkmod.
Next, you have to reboot into recovery. (Do not use rom manager. Power off the phone and hold volume up + volume down buttons and power on the phone.)
You should be in recovery now, but it will have red text and an additional selection at the bottom labeled voodooo.
Select voodoo and select enable voodoo. This will turn voodoo on the next reboot.
Reboot now and wait for Linda to tell you that the lagfix is enabled. It will take about 10 minutes. Be patient and don't touch the phone while she is working.
BOOM!
See my problem is I dont know how to flash. I downloaded rom manager and it installed cloclworkmod recovery. Is that the same thing I need?

Ohhh... okay, yeah. Open Rom manager and flash clockworkmod... select vibrant.
Download the kernel from the link in my last post. Place the .zip you downloaded on the root of internal memory (the 14gb one). Root meaning not in any folders.
Now open Rom manager again and reboot into recovery. It may ask you to reinstall packages, do so if prompted.
Once in clockworkmod recovery (should be a green menu), select "install zip from SD".
Select the .zip kernel you downloaded and it will ask you one more time are you sure. Do it.
BOOM!
Then follow steps from my last post for voodoo.

I don't use OCLF and don' know what version your running it was more generalized. If you flash something its in a package and that package has to be signed. If it's a pretty trustworthy source then most signs point to bad download. Which usually doesn't happen on the same file multiple times unless the source is corrupt or unsigned in this case.
Then their are the other issues such as maybe your phone just doesn't like this file and won't install it. I've had a guy try multiple times to install my theme, even got it to install on his sons phone and regardless of my attempts to upload different ways it just wasn't meant to be.
My obvious advice would be to drop the OCLF attempt because its just an inflated quadrant score, and potentially corrupt files awaiting you. Most of the roms now use voodoo and theirs voodoo kernels floating around. Not to mention the ease of voodoo in these new roms it's reallly a no brainer. Nero comes with voodoo activated and you don't have to rename a file or do anything but go through the menu in cwm to turn it off or on. You can even flash between Axura and Nero now without disabling Voodoo. It's pretty much the new standard.
Ive already done that.

Need help with "new" version of CWM for Fascinate

There's a new version of CWM in this link for the Froyo leak of Fascinate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499
I got Froyo just fine, but I just noticed as I'm trying to install a Froyo theme for Fascinate. I'm having trouble getting the new CWM Recovery to "take". Now when I go through ROM Manager to Reboot Into Recovery, it takes me to the stock recovery, but going to "Update.zip" makes a loading bar load about 1/4 of the bar, then it reboots, shows Samsung logo, and is back at stock recovery. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help? Is there any .TAR of the new CWM, so I can maybe use Odin to force it on? Thanks.
Get rid of the theme. That's probably the problem. And this should be posted under general or in the thread of whatever ROM you're using.

Download the first file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and rename it recovery-update.zip put it in the clockworkmod folder on sd card, replacing the old recovery-update.zip.
Download the following file and place it at the root of your sd card, make sure its named update.zip.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17566514/update.zip use it to get into cwm.
Then boot to recovery, (apply update if you get blue writing, choose apply sdcard:update.zip). Once in green cwm choose to "install zip from sd card,"
navigate to your clockworkmod folder then choose the recovery-update.zip file.
Lastly go back to the main options and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip." you should be good to go now!
CWM should be red for now on, and should say voodoo lagfix.
Enjoy! I hope that clears things up!
I can't get past the blue I think when I get home I am odining everything back to normal

Taka, I don't have or want voodoo, does that make a difference?

Cwm red was optimized for voodoo, but this version works without it

This version says Voodoo but isn't, the programmer was to lazy to change that (or a voodoo update for froyo will be here soon). Also the bitmap error happens to everyone so don't worry about it.

Well you have Froyo, you must be using a ROM even if it is stock. Did you follow the directions closely when installing Froyo? And there are no custom kernels for DL30 so no worries about accidentally putting on voodoo.
Ahhhh!
I am having problems with CWM to the point where I can't install any roms nor can I reboot into CWM recovery. I just flashed DL09 and I am trying to flash froyo but I kinda need CWM to work in order to do that... I have an odin package for the version of CWM I supposedly need but it doesn't work, so should I go back to an older one?
Cant get to Green anymore
I updated to Froyo last week and everything is working fine except my battery life sucks...
Im going to upgrade to EB01 and try Super Clean
Ive installed the new CWM but I cant get to Green Recovery anymore.
Everytime I run update.zip, it simply brings up the Blue Recovery.
Try Taka's post on the first page. It worked for me, I'm now rocking the red CWM and running Incognito.

If you are trying to run a Froyo ROM, even without voodoo, then in this situation you will be using a RED CWM.
Specifically, the one that was posted earlier or can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Even though it is red, even though you don't want voodoo, this really is the correct cwm for Froyo at this time.

ROMS/Kernals/Root without CPU?

I really want to flash syndacate frozen, but don't have a data cable. I was wondering if I could downgrade to stock froyo, root, and flash syndacate from my phone. Thanks in advance!

None of what I'm reading makes sense. Can you expand upon this thought?
I'm running the gingerbread leak. I want to flash syndicate frozen without using a data cable. I'm sure I'd have to downgrade, then root, then flash right?

No. I've done it. the newer releases auto convert to ext4. My brother knows the whole conversion process and it has the conversion built in the script.

That's what I was thinking too, but wasn't sure if that was the question at first.
Could someone please explain to me what to do in a simpler fashion? Noob here
Turn on wifi, download the version of SRF1.2 you want and any fixes you want to use. Boot into CWM 3.1.0.1 purple and (for best results) wipe factory 3x, wipe data cache 3x, wipe dalvik cache in advanced menu 3x. choose install from sd>choose zip from card>srf1.2. watch the magic happen. reboot. flash enable journaling to avoid problems, if you'd like.

I don't have clockworkMod ever since I flash the Gingerbread Rom anyway to put it on there without Odin?

Ohhhhhh, you flashed the unrooted stock? I'm confused. Boot into recovery. What one does it do? I thought Gingerbread kept your current recovery. Didn't noobnl put it in there?
Also, if you have a friend with a Blackberry, their cable works great.
Its just show Android system recovery, not clockwork purple

Go to youtube and check out qbking77 video on 'how to unroot without a computer' vid. Then he also has a video 'how to root without a computer'. The how to root vid shows how to root ur phone with CWM 2.5.1. Then you download the SFR 1.2, CWM purple, and what ever kernel onto ur sd card and flash them from ur CWM 2.5.1. Took me about 15mins to do all steps. Minus download times.

The problem is we don't have cwm.
Need "how to cwm without PC"

I'm not sure of qbking's method but root generally includes CWM so it should work.
Theyre on stock unrooted gb leak. Is there a non-odin way to go yet?
