Disabling Voodoo/Roms

I got the new Axura2.1 JK6 and it came with voodoo.
It says I need to disable the voodoo to flash other roms.
I have the voodoo_disable.zip to flash on the phone to disable.
I was just wondering, do I just flash that voodoo_diable the sameway I flash a rom, which is;
Rom manager, and then choose Install Rom from SD Card?
Then it says Wipe data and cache and Backup Existing Rom...
Do I leave those? If anyone can let me know this is the correct method for disabling thing, that would be great!
I just want to make sure this voodoo thing is disabled, so that I can test out other roms.
On a side note: Is there any other good roms that you would recommend?

Just flash it like any rom some good roms are axura 2.2.7 and nero v5 hope this helps you out

When I chose the Voodoo_diable.zip on clockwork it brought me to the Android System Recovery..
It only gives me the options of
reboot system now
Reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
Do I choose any of those? Or has the voodoo_disable already been flashed from the get go after choosing the file on rom manager and clicking enter.
Sorry I am new to flashing roms.

Any help would be appreciated... Just want to verify.
I just tried flashing a rom from this new Rom Manager that came with this Auxura I flashed last night and it dosent seem to be flashing my rom when I choose the zip file for the rom and select okay.
It reboots and goes to the menu with these options,
reboot system now
Reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
Anyone know what I do from here?
I am pretty new to this whole space.
Any suggestions would help... Not sure if there is something wrong the Rom Manager or If I am just missing a step.
Thanks!!

Choose reinstall packages. That should bring you to clockwork. Have you gone into the rom manager app and flashed clockwork? you might need to do that first.

[Q] Cannot upgrade ROM Manager (clockworkmod) without google market

I cannot upgrade ROM Manager v4.3.2.3 without using google marketplace. Keep in mind I'm trying to upgrade ROM Manager so that I can install the google apps (which include the market). Since I don't have the latest version of clockwork mod (the latest as of today is v4.4.0.6), I get this message when I select "Download ROM":
"You must upgrade your ROM Manager to the latest version!"
Well, I cannot do that, because I don't have the Market.
I've tried so many things, all I want is the market and I'll be done messing with this phone. I've tried installing the latest google apps zip.
And I've tried installing a recovery image from clockworkmod.com's site
When I say "install", what I'm doing is:
put the .zip onto the SD card
boot into recovery
install the .zip
I can boot into clockwork recovery mode perfectly fine though.
I'd be nice if ROM Manager had a selection "update app" or something, then I wouldn't be in this mess. Also, for whatever reason, I installed ROM Manager today, and it did not give me the latest version. I wish I noticed before installing CyanogenMod on it.
Thanks for the help.

You have to install CWM recovery to flash GingerDX. Then you have to reboot to CWM and choose Install update ZIP from sd card, find GDX zip file and select it to flash it.

how can i install CWM please sir guide me step by step i will be so thankful to u!

Use this to install CWM recovery and copy custom ROM zip file to sd card. After that reboot your phone and tap screen several times until it goes to CWM. Then go to Install update zip from sd card and find it. Press on it, it will ask you to confirm your choice and after flashing ROM do full wipe. Of course make NAND backup before.

my rom was xginv5.0 before now i sucessfully installed gingerdxv10 it gives me CWM then i try to install gingerdxv19 and its sucess to installed but my problem is from xgin5.0 to gingerdxv10 up to gingerdxv19 the interface of my phone doesnt change just the startup only change what is wrong?

How can I wipe my android rom from my hd2 and start fresh?

What I'm trying to say is, when I got my hd2 It already had magldr 1.13 and a nice gingerbread rom installed. What I want to know is how can I go back to a clean Leo and start fresh so that I can learn how to install android myself. I could use some help with the i android install afterward as well. thanks in advance.

You could use the hd2 toolkit from this post. It will wipe your rom (task29 option), install mgldr, then you would be good to go to install recovery and another rom.
I have just been using it, its a great tool. I think this would only apply to nand roms, sd roms maybe do it differently?
Peace
Edit: also, I found post #4 from this thread invaluable help for flashing my first leo android rom.

If you truly want to go to a "Fresh LEO" download a stock leo winmo rom, change the .exe to .zip find the RUU or something like RUU_signed.nbh ( should be like 270MB in size) and change the name to LEOIMG.NBH and transfer it a 4GB or less microSD card and insert into phone. Start the phone holding the red power button and the volume down button. it should go into the bootloader and flash stock radio/spl/rom and you can start from scratch. CM7 was the best thing to happen to the HD2. CAN'T WAIT FOR CM9!!!!

Okay people now I REALLY need your help, okay so I flashed clockwork mod recovery through magldr, and thats working fine, but after doing so, when it tries to boot it says something like failed to load kernel, so I figured that roms toast so I used the option in magldr to "Ad hard reset" because the hd2 toolkits task 29 wipe kept failing as well. So I need help finding a rom that will install from clockwork mod recovery. Im hoping it will take care if my kernel problem. Any links to Cwm roms would be great and thanks in advance.

Pretty much any newer ROM will be flashed through CWM. Just look at the OP and flash the correct partition size, then place the 'MAGLDR' version of the ROM (zipped folder) on your SD card and flash

Wait lemme see if I have this correct. When I see roms that say magldr version, I can flash THOSE through CWM recovery? If u could help me find cm7 that I can flash through cwm I'd be most appreciative. Thanks again.

Any CM7 ROM in the NAND Development section really. Typhoon, Hyperdroid, Dorimanx etc.

first check the CWM recovery requirements of the ROM(it will say something like CWM 5/120/5) then check your current recovery if its the same. If not you need to download the zip file for the CWM recovery required by the ROM. unzip the file on a computer and run the .exe and follow prompts on the screen(doing this will completely delete the current ROM install on your phones internal memory). Once the correct recovery is flash on your phone, you can flash the ROM itself

2 Serious problems

I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly

So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country

Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

A few months ago, I installed Creed 3.5 ROM. It was awesome. I want to install it again but tell me:
Can I install it while I have a custom kernel installed? If yes, do I need to mount system before installing? Thanks for help

Yes you can flash it over any kernel and yeah mount all the partitions after formatting them.

I refer you to my previous post in this thread
wipe data system cache
mount everything
flash rom
you can use any compatible kernel

The problem with the files is caused by the sdcard
