[Q] bionix 1.3.1 question - Vibrant General

i have been using bionix v1.3 for a while now and i was wondering how to turn off the voodoo? does anyone know how and would you care to explain please?

Certainly! It's pretty simple, actually... much simpler than when I first started flashing. All you need to do is reboot into Clockwork Recovery (CWR) by holding down the power button and selecting 'Recovery' from the power menu. Once your phone reboots, it should be in a red text-only menu. Just go to 'Voodoo lagfix' and disable it.
On the bottom it should now say something like "lagfix currently: enabled, next reboot: disabled". Go back a menu and reboot the phone. It'll take about 4-5 minutes to convert the partition back to RFS, but afterwards you'll be voodoo-free.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you run into any bumps.

good tool. thanks

Now does that wipe the phone or is it only to disable it. All my appear will still be there right or do I have to download them again?

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!

I dont doubt he does, ill have to look into it, but I have no idea how to flash anything, if you know what thread could help me can you ink it? I did a search for voodoo and haven't really found much yet.

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.

Isn't that the same as OCLF except that made a ext2 file system? What is a true lagfix then?

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.

Okay... I'm on my computer now so I can do a little more for you.
Go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
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.

If you were rooted before the update, you aren't rooted anymore. I think people are using superoneclick now on the official update. I think, but I am not sure. Try that, then go back to the steps already posted. If I come across what people are using now I will post the link.

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.

[Q] {Q} DX Always Enters Recovery Whenever Turned On or Rebooted

My DroidX always enters bootstrap recovery mode everytime i turn it on or reboot. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I ever had the same issue and then flashing the SBF cleared the problem. But that's the time when I haven't injected the RUIM. Since I'm not on Verizon, i'm afraid that if I do that again my injected number will lost. Is there any solution for it?

I think there's no any checkboxes in the toolbox. I'll try looking for it in the Liberty setting
From the home screen hit menu, settings, Liberty settings. Then unchecked the one that says to go into recovery everytime.
With the nature of the bootstrap it is better that it is booting to it. And you will think the same when something goes wrong and you can't load a recovery. Remember there is no way to boot into recovery by holding a key like other phones.
Got it, dude, and it still goes into recovery even though I have unchecked the option.
I wonder if the ROM got bugs because i got some FC in the Liberty setting even after I reflash the ROM and got the fresh Liberty toolbox from the Market. Damn this thing just start p#@*%g me off.
Easy fix. Someone helped me when mine was doing it. Get or go into an app called root explore. Open it up and go all the way to the bottom and click on system then bin then at the top of the screen click where it shows RW it then should show RO then scroll down and find "hijack" long press and delete then scroll down and find "bootloger" delete that then the next one is bootloger.bin long press it and rename it to just bootloger just get rid of .bin and your done. Just remember to use bootstrap to get back into recovery when you need to.

Why are you even rebooting your phone enough for this to bug you? I reboot my once probobly once every three days just for fun, i dont experience any slowdowns or anything its just me deciding why not.. You make it sound like you reboot your phone voluntarily every hour or something for no reason
Secondly yes, bootstrap on reboot is a blessing not a curse... What happens if you start liberty up and you get a CONSTANT force close that does not go away and keeps coming up no matter how many times you click close?? Your phone will be INOP and you wont be able to do ANYTHING or even get to the manual bootstrap menu.. therefore having to SBF.. WAY better to have an available bootstrap whenever you need it automatically
I've done this about three times and never had a problem I got this information from someone that I trust and knows more about this stuff then I will ever know. Its not hurting anything. I can still get back into recovery through bootstrapper every time with no problems. I wouldn't post this if it would mess up anyones phone. After you do this you need to use bootstrapper to get back into recovery but you can
Someone helped me with a problem and im just trying to pass on what I've learned. Just to make sure it doesn't hurt anything I just did it to my phone and used bootstraper to flash apex on my phone with no issue.

So what happens when you screw something up and get bootloops? Difficult to access bootstrapper when you can't get past the boot animation or even boot logo.
The point of it starting first is in the event of said bootloops you can get into clockwork and restore. From what I understand if you turn off your phone you wait about 30 or so seconds and when you turn on your phone it will skip clockwork, it only pops up when you do a battery pull or if you shut down and power back on right away.
Why are you turning your phone on so much for it to be a pain? I reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days and it doesn't bother me one bit. If you're complaining against measures that are there for your benefit then I don't know what to say... Deal with it.
It works for me. I've had boot loops and have always been able to get in recovery. So is he just supposed live with it. I do turn my phone off ever night I like to give my phone some time off and by doing that I've never had to replace a battery. We all do things differently. He can do what I've showed him or not its up to him.

Easy, boys. I appreciate the replies. The reason is I just dont like having to meet bootstrap option everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it. I never have bootloop even until now with this DX, even if I do, it's me who have to deal with it. So you see? The why-question is all about me. No offense but lets just stick to the how-question.
@spacecasespiff
So how do you go to bootstrap if you have bootloop?
I've had two bootloops the first was when my phone was doing what yours is doing do I did a batt pull and the recovery screen came up so all was good. The second tine was with liberty and that one a batt pull did nothing so I went to the forums and found out about holding the power button and the home button down and it put you on a different screen sorry I can't remember what was on that screen. You then use the search button to navigate the screen. I can't remember what I had to choose but I think it brought me back to the recovery screen. Its been awhile since that happend so I could be wrong. Just search the forums for it. Obviouse if you have a bootloop you can't get into bootstrapper. But if you can use what I learned about the power and home button you can get things back.

Booting up the phone while holding the home and power button boots you into moto's stock recovery. Did u wind up doing a wipe data/factory reset perhaps?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Oh i see. I bet you just got to the DroidX original recovery then wipe it.
Well that's not so bad if you have bootloop eh?
So i guess have two choices here, using some ROM that doesn't have built in bootstrap recovery inside or applying the tutorial above to avoid the problem i have.
Problem solved then. Thanks everybody

DI18 to EC05 update troubles

Hi Everyone,
I'm a total noob at this stuff so thank you in advance for your patience. A while back I installed the 1-click clockwork mod to root my phone. This morning I got the system notification about the EC05 update. I clicked the button to begin the install and walked away. When I returned I saw the following message:
E:Error in /cache/5f372cb40834.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToEC05.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
My phone appears to be frozen there. It doesn't do anything when I hold the power button down, I hope I didn't brick this thing.
I've seen mention of using Odin to flash back to stock. That's something I'll be looking into but if anyone could chime in to help speed up my recovery I'd appreciate it. Is there any chance that I'll be able to retain my contacts list at this stage?
If you had your contacts backed up on a Gmail account, they'll resync once you sign in again.
I'm rooted on clockwork 2.5.1 and my oTA failed. Everything else is stock. I tried a manual update and it failed also.

Not sure if I've done that or not. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Looking at ODIN it appears I have to start with my phone powered down. It's not doing anything when I hold the power button. Should I just pull the battery?
If you saved your contacts to Google then yes they are saved. If you don't know then go online to your gmail acct and when tmyiu log in to your email you'll see all your contacts to the left. So when you get your phone up and runnunig when you log into your gmail acct it will sync all your contacts to your phone. As far as Odin if your phone is locked up then that's the best bet. Trust me its easy. Since their isn't a tar file yet to ec05 your best bet is to Odin a fresh install of di18 and then you can accept the update or do it yourself. I can't post links using tapatalk that I'm on but look in the development section for Odin. You will need Odin and the di18 tar file. If someone comes thru here maybe they can post it. Anymore questions just ask or you can pm me. Good luck.

I think that one click root removed the Asphalt 5 Demo apk, which may have caused your problem. If you cannot get the phone to boot, your going to have to wipe it, and start over. If you can, then reinstall the Asphalt 5 and try again. Hopefully your contacts were saved to Google, you can log into your Gmail account and look for them there. There should be a warning when you add a contact on your phone that states what the repercussion are if you add to the phone instead of Google. I have my contacts & calendar backed up on Outlook , Gmail, and even my Ipad (Ipads are crap BTW). Good luck.

Thanks again for everyone's help.
What happens when you pull the battery and place it back in? Does it go to the same spot? I think I read somewhere that some people were successfully using Odin with the battery removed. I guess you could remove the battery, plug in the USB, hold 1 and hit the power button and give it a try.

That's what I did, and it worked as you described. My phone is working again (just like it was before I initiated the OTA update) so I'm going to wait and try this again after work when I have more time.
I'm glad you at least have your phone. When you used the one click root it removed a stock app and put clockwork recovery on your phobe. That's why its not taking it. Your best bet is sometime yo Odin a fresh di18 and then it will take it fine. Or wait a little bit and there will be a tar file to ec05 that you can put in Odin to flash directly there. If you.need anything you can.pm me.

There's a very easy manual Odin + Froyo + root + no.kill.data procedure out there on the webz (first came across it on another forum, which thanks a dev here on XDA) and I must say that it was very very straightforward. PM me if you want the link, but before you do anything make sure you:
- download and execute the correct samsung drivers
- make sure you check the box at: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging
- read a bit about the process first
- download and open the ZIP or RAR files (from the procedure I mentioned) so that they are ready to go - make suer you put them all on your desktop
- follow directions precisely
- be patient
This was my first time zapping an Android phone (moved from WinMo about a month ago) and it was very worry-free. Remember, computers are dumb - you have to do things in the right sequence or have the proper switches toggled correctly. Luckily, humans have sussed out the process for us!

Yea, check out THOR's ROM. With his ROM, you press and hold the power button and are given the options to shut down, reboot, reboot into recovery, or open his special status bar mod.

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.

Quick Boot is another app specifically for reboot options. Thor's ROM is the only one I've tried that has reboot options when long pressing the power button.

Thors Revolver Rom, was originally ported from an Asus Transformer, which has those boot options. There's one other Transformer port that has it.

Just remember, there is no Fastboot with the Iconia.
It will just do a normal reboot.

There's also a paid version which allows you to hide the options you don't/can't use But yeah, the free version is good enough

Correct, but there is a rotation lock soft key when you click on the notification tab in the bottom right. You can also manually adjust the screen brightness here too, which is what I always did even with stock ROM.
In terms of changing the model name from EPAD, I'm not sure........ I never saw a need to change that.
hot reboot

Widgetsoid seems to have a hot reboot option in which it skips the Acer boot screen and starts immediately with the bootanimation. SAVES A FEW SECONDS. HAVENT NOTICED ANY ILL EFFECTS WHEN IVE TRIED IT.
It has
Power off
Normal reboot
Hot reboot
Recovery
Bootloader

check the themes and apps forum for a thread with a modified build.prop for thor's rom.
you could also manually change the build.prop yourself

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!

Please help stuck on CWM Recover and can't reboot or turn off phone!!!

Please help!
I am running ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I'm running cyanogenmod 7.2 and I wasn't really trying to do anything. Just checking the options in recovery mode because I am preparing to sell this phone.
But now I can't get out of recovery. If I select reboot now I just get the clockwordmod recovery logo and it just sits there. Same thing if I select turn phone off.
Has this ever happened to anyone before?! Please help.
Again I wasn't trying to flash anything...change anything...really do anything. And I've been running CM7 for quite a while without issue so not sure why this is happening now.
Any help much appreciated!
Yes I do have a nandroid but it isn't very current so I'd prefer not to use it (not sure it would work anyway) if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance!
Did you use trackpad to select reboot?
How about a battery pull?

Yeah I guess I was worried that would completely brick the phone but it actually did the trick. Thanks.
Still curious what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future...as I would like to sell a fully functioning stable phone.
Thanks though and sorry for the panic post!

Were you using trackpad or power button to select reboot? You never said.

I have this same problem, except it does it every time I boot to recovery. I prefer to use recovery to flash roms over the rom manager, but any tiime i make a selection from the main menu, it just shows the clockwork logo and doesn't go anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix it so that I could navigate recovery?
Thanks
