Voodoo lagfix, I messed up my phone, help! - Vibrant General

Help please!
Just installed voodoo lagfix.
And it is going through a bootloop... I see the Vibrant boot screen, then Galaxy S Gt-i9000 boot screen, and some lady saying "not enough space on partition." Does this loop over and over.
What did I do wrong?
How can I resolve?
Was running deodexed/rooted KB5.
I just went into recovery and I'm disabling voodoo, lets see what that does.
Well with voodoo disabled my phone boots up again.
What am I doing wrong with voodoo enabled?
strange, most of the stuff on my phone is gone, I don't even have an Android Market now.

Which kernel did you flash? there's one kernel specificaly for 2.2 KB5 that is absolute stock with the only difference being that it has voodoo enabled...
It worked for me! First, flash the stock 2.2 UVKB5 deodexed/rooted ROM, then flash the stock kernel with voodoo enabled, there shouldn't be any issues...

I went to voodoos website, and downloaded voodoo 5.5 for froyo.
At the following link:
http://project-voodoo.org/download
Did I download the wrong one? Wrong kernel?
I think I might have downloaded the wrong one, woops. I think?

Thanks, KB5 isn't listed though.
I'm going to try the link above posetd by ferhanmm.
I can flash the new kernel with current voodoo disabled without problems right? I don't have to odin back to stock?

It should be safe to flash this kernel with voodoo disabled if you're still on stock Froyo 2.2 KB5 deodexed. After flashing this, it'll take like 10 min to do its magic (you'll hear the woman's voice telling you the status).
Actually is the same as ferhanmm posted up there

Thanks, flashed it, but my phone is still acting strange. For example, Android Market is completely missing.
I'm going to disable voodoo again, flash deodexed/rooted KB5 back, start fresh, and try installing Voodoo again. Hope I don't mess something up again.

Man this isn't my day.
I disabled voodoo
Reinstalled deodexed/kb5 using cwm
then tried installing the voodoo kb5 kernel, and my phone is in some strange screen I've never seen before
There is a picture of a box, with an arrow coming out of the box, pointing to the android man, with a progress bar on the bottom, but nothing is happening other than the progress bar spinning.
errrrr

I suggest doing a full wipe and Odin back to stock!!! from there, flash 2.2 kb5 and then the kernel with voodoo.
BTW, how are you flashing the kernel? I used an app called SGS Kernel Flasher, you can download it from the market...

Ok I think I'm ok now.
Got voodoo working.
Phone seems to still lag though, got to play with it some more.
My quadrant score is now 1400, if that even matters.
I was using cwm to flash the kernel.
Thanks to everyone above for their help

Awesome! glad you could make it work.

I would flash eclair with odin and reflash get all the ghosts out of the system that always works for me.

[Q] Voodoo to DJ05

I've searched, but couldn't find a clear answer. I'm rooted running JT's voodoo kernel (v4 I think) one of his ROMS, and the Matted Blue theme. Before I begin this process, I'm just curious if I need to disable voodoo/restore to stock before I apply the DJ05 update/voodoo5 (yes, I have the steps, and am competent enough to mod my phone).
I've got most of the requisite files, and was just going to do voodoo5 though the ROM manager when the base DJ05 update finished.
Thanks.
In my experience, it is alwaus a good idea to disable voodoo begorr changing rom or kernel. And have heard that some people could not get dj to take without disable_lagfix. Good luck

Dj05
Just my two cents and maybe it has to do with competence, lol, but I spent about 3 hrs yesterday removing voodoo to reinstall it because I didn't disable it initially when adding jt's clean .07 rom. Voodoo5 looked like it installed and it allowed me to use my bluetooth and a new theme I had just installed, but my haptic response wasn't there and I was getting a lot of FC's. I tried every basic fix I know and finally thought i got it only to get a quadrant score of 900.
tl;dr
I would uninstall any voodoo you have before you upgrade to DJ05
if you're going from an old voodoo to the newest voodoo, you will likely have problems if you don't disable it beforehand.

Does this apply if you are only going from an older voodoo5 based kernel to a newer version of that same kernel?
Thanks guys. I disabled, and updated to DJ without a hitch (so far at least). Probably hit up Voodoo5 a little later tonight. Do need to find a DJ kernel so I can get my haptic back though...
nmyeti, please do not quote me on this, but in my searches I did see people mentioning they were upgrading between Voodoo5 kernals without disabling. I probably would, just in case.
If you already have the dj05, can you install the voodoo 5 kernel over it with no problems?

If you loaded clean .7, you don't have a DJ05 kernel. Either load the voodoo5 or a DJ05 kernel(there are a few in rom manager) or load a Clean .3 - .5 - they have kernel built into them. Since you have your old DI01 kernel and DJ05, your haptic is broken.

I loaded the 11/29 kernel for DJ05 when i first flashed clean .7. This kernel had some strange audio popping etc, so i went to a geeknic version and that kernel had the same issues. I finally decided to try JT's voodoo 12/1 and that resolved the issue. I've upgraded to 12/2 without problem and then yesterday updated to 12/3 and all seems well.

[Q] Quick DJ05 Question

Hello, I looked around a bit and couldn't find an answer, so I figured i would just post this and ask.
I have two (probably) easy questions.
1. I'm on DI01 right now (superfast and superclean), can i go straight to DL09 or do i have to go DJ05 then DL09?
2. Can anyone give me a link to download odin? The link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
happens to be broken for me.
anyone?

You can go straight to DL09. I have Odin shared on my Google Site page with instructions for upgrading as well, see here.
Thanks.
You think Voodoo is worth it or not?

I use voodoo as it makes installing apps a lot faster and lags the phone less. Since voodoo5 and red clockwork, it's been much more reliable and easier to use.
Dl09 was a success.. I'm on the non-voodoo kernel and I'll probally flash voodoo tommarow.

That's good to hear. The only thing you need to remember after moving to voodoo is to be aware that you're using it when switching kernels. If you flash a non-voodoo kernel without first disabling voodoo, it can be a big headache. However, with the current state of development, most things are moving toward voodoo since it has become more stable and reliable.
Yep yep. Thanks for the quick replies and all the help you have been. I have the voodoo zip file on my sd card (the one from the DL09 thread). All I need to do is flash that one right?

Yeah, flash it the same way you did the other kernel and rom. When you restart, there will be a voice giving an approx. time to convert the partitions to the new file system. It will hold on the Samsung logo while doing the conversion and then go to the boot animation when done. I think the time to convert is anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on how much data you have. Disabling voodoo will take a few minutes longer and has the same voice time estimates.
Alright. I might just do this right now then.

Voodoo took about 5 minutes to get to a fully usable phone. Thank you very much! My phone feels brand new and ultra fast

i just installed dl09, and flashed the right rom. I restarted and am wondering how long it takes to load the rom. I did not flash the kernel right away. I was going to do that after the rom. So far I only have a black screen about 3 minutes in. Whats the deal?
You need to flash the kernel too
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
just restarted flashed rom and then kernel both. black screen with bottom buttons all lit up for about 20 minutes now. help.
What rom and kernel did you flash? And you flashed the modem in the pda section of odin?
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
yes i used the pda section and it passed just fine. i then unplugged phone, put batt back in. started phone back up and used rom manager to get to recovery. at first i just flashed blackhole 3.0 rom but i had his kernel and several components downloaded. i was paranoid so i flashed rom then reboot. black screen after samsung for a long time. i then reflashed rom w/ kernel. still got hung. then i went back and flashed everything i had dl including boot animation, digital clock, everything along with rom and kernel again. this time got to blackhole boot animation then has been stuck on that screen for about 40 min. it is the boot with the galaxy and stars with a small android robot in the lower right corner. thinking of doing the odin d101 package. wont that return me to stock. i don't want to but any suggestions.

my phone just talked to me!

Ok so i just installed the new eb01 rom and i also installed the voodoo kernel at the same time. On initial bootup my phone seemed to freeze at the samsung screen, i was like oh awesome it froze lol, but then my phone started talking to me in this computer lady voice about how it is changing the file system. It kinda scared me at first. Not sure if this is a new thing or not but it was strange....
Just thought id let ya guys know what happened to me at 7 in the morning lol. Hearing my phone talk to me, ya know im awake and ready for my day
That was the voodoo lady. Letting you know you activated it.

Yep, all Voodoo kernels do that, in order to let you know that your phone is actually doing something, instead of just appearing to be frozen.

Isnt it a headache to get rid of voodoo if you ever decide to go back to an ota build?
Ok so I know this comes down to preference... BUT I'm still in noob mode and haven't messed with Android at all. So what is the benefit of installing the lagfix? Is it really that noticeable or more placebo effect?
I'm running stock DL30 and was just wondering if it is worth the time and energy to "update" to EB01 and use voodoo as well....
Have any of you that have installed EB01 seen anything new and/or improved from DL30 and with or without voodoo? Odexed vs Deodexed?
Just looking for some opinions before jumping in... Have everything downloaded and ready though Thanks for any input!
Forewarning about installing VooDoo LagFix.
Just a heads up with installing VooDoo... Next time you install another Kernel or ROM, you should disable VooDoo Lagfix in Recovery before you flash a kernel or a ROM again. If the kernel you are upgrading to is a VooDoo kernel or the ROM you are install has a VooDoo Kernel integrated.
You do this by going into Recovery and VooDoo menu at the bottom. You enable or disable it there. Then restart to let the VooDoo kernel take care of itself.
And if you do manage to destroy what you did...
Use Odin to flash an all in one such as this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911677
What VooDoo LagFix does is convert your RFS file system to EXT4. It also messes with the Master Boot Record or MBR. If you accidentally leave it in EXT4 and flash over it with a different kernel that expects RFS, your phone will lock your storage out. For those of you without Linux experience, EXT4 is basically a souped up NTFS where RFS is more like FAT32.

Not really. Just boot to Red CWM (included with Voodoo kernels), disable it. Reboot, and then flash whatever stock rom you want.

Um, I feel the need to clarify this. You DO NOT have to disable the lag fix in order to install ROMs, as long as you use the red version of CWM that the Voodoo kernel installed on your phone, replacing the stock recovery, and as long as the ROM you're flashing doesn't include a non-Voodoo kernel. Also, again using the red Voodoo CWM, you can install any other Voodoo kernel without disabling the lag fix. I have done it many times without incident. You only have to disable the lag fix if you intend to flash a non-Voodoo kernel, since the new kernel can't handle the EXT4 filesystem.

Curious though...sc 2.1 includes a voodoo kernel, but it's my understanding that voodoo isn't technically operational on ebo1 yet? Am I missing something here? Is the sc 2.1 voodoo functioning like regular voodoo?

You can only get voodoo for EB01 through the fascinate IRC channel right now. It is still being tested.
voodoo does come installed
There are 2 versions posted now voodoo and non-voodoo. I was wondering the same thing until i installed it. i think I read the same posts stating that it was not available yet. But it is! just not sold separately at your local retail stores. My phone talking to me, scared my wife when I was playing around with the lag fix in bed.
So if I understand you guys correctly, if I don't like the froyo voodoo kernel or want to restore a nandroid backup that doesn't have voodoo, I first need to disable voodoo in the red CWM using the voodoo menu. Once it changes the file system back to stock, I can then restore my nandroid backup.
Does that sound correct?

Anyone else having this issue with EB01/EB16?

I've asked on a couple boards and can't find an answer/solution.
Ever since I went to EB01 I've had one problem only...that is when I reboot ,for any reason, all my apps start force closing when it starts back up...i then have to re-flash the rom to fix it and re-install sgml the apps again.
Am I the only person that had this problem? Is there a fix for it? I'm currently on SC2.6, but have been on 2.4 & 2.5 with the same problem...i even went back to stock eclair and re-rooted and went thru the process again with no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Try the odin eb01 tar. After you flash the all in one odin file, you should be fine. It has to do with a corrupted dbdata partition.
Make sure you use pda when flaking. After you can flash whatever rom you like.
Ah...i didn't do the all in one package...i just pushed the eb01 modem via odin and flagged the rom separately...could that be the culpret?

Yes, this is always smart to do.
Especially because the eb01 tars are not true all in one tars.
I've had the same issue, and I have tried reflashing the ROM and the EB01 modem. I also pushed the new red CMW, and still.. no luck. I will post back if going to DI01 and then to EB01 works. Right now, I am running FrankenClean 2.5, red CMW for Froyo, and EB01 modem.
When you reboot, all third party apps fc, and on boot, several apps fc before I personally open them. Also, many of the settings are wiped (brightness, volume, etc). BUT.. the home screens are the same, and all the apps still appear (but don't run). It seems as if something is corrupted or something, but I still need to dig further.
Does this information help? I hope I can find a solution becuase I much prefer Froyo superclean to stock DL09.
yep...thats the same thing that was going on with me...how did you go to eb01? seperate modem, rom, or the all in one package?
Thanks to RacerFXD, the problem is fixed! All you have to do is push the all in one odin package found here:
http://redirectingat.com/?id=1629X5...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html
then reboot into CWR and reflash whatever ROM you were running and all is well.
This is the Debloated/Deodexed version BTW. It's the one i pushed. I guess it really doesn't matter which one you do, seeing as how you'll probably flash a different ROM anyways...
Fixed
My issue is fixed (for now). Apparently all I needed to do was to go back to stock, and then I needed to reapply the changes. Something last time must have gotten messed up, but all is good now. If it comes back, I will use the EB01 all-in-one which should be quicker.
Here is my process:
Flash DI01 All-in-one package via Odin (adryn's Odin package)
Flash EB01 Modem via Odin (separate "just" modem)
Flash CMW red via Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021)
Factory Reset/Clear Cache/Clear Dalvik Cache
Flash Superclean 2.5 (aka FrankenClean 2.5)

Wow, that was an experience. Literally weeks of perusing the forums until I had a grasp of the concepts, then dove in. Rooted my stock phone and flashed to sc 2.6 non voodoo. Total noob at Android and it all works so far. Thanks to all involved with this site, it required dozens of threads to figure it all out. The most confusion came out of the fact that CWM gets removed when rebooting from stock. Another week of research and the themes will start. Thanks again.

[TELUS FASCINATE] Gingerbread released today (Aug 19/11) over Kies

Really odd timing for this one, for me personally anyway. I finally gave up waiting yesterday and tried to install CM7 and bricked my phone. Panicked for a while, then finally figured out forcing download mode with VOLUP+VOLDOWN, connected to USB, while inserting the battery!
Anyway... it's now on Kies for Telus Fascinate. I was hoping this would finally fix GPS, but it's somehow made it completely unusable for me. 0 satellites after several minutes of looking.
Firmware version 2-3-3
Baseband version 2-6-35-7-T959TLKG2
Kernel version 2-6-35-7-T959TLKG2
sj0829-kwon-SEP-08 #2
Build number GINGERBREAD-LKG2
^^^ had to replace decimals with hyphens to appease the "no links posted by newbies" forum rule.
Also, superoneclick can't root this one. Other options?

I tried flashing Semaphore 1.5 - which is an i9000 kernel for stock JVR - and it wouldn't boot. Went back to LKG2 un-rooted for now.
I'm tempted to try CF-root for the i9000s, but given my recent bricking(s) I'm a bit tired of flashing back to 2.2. Anyone else care to try?
Though it wouldn't necessarily help with root - do you suppose zacharias.maladroit's Neo kernel would work with stock Gingerbread? Supposedly for CM7, but Gingerbread seems close enough.

Trying to root my Girlfriends phone, unfortunately, the gingerbreak exploit has been closed and the 3e recovery won't install unsigned ZIP files.
None of the custom kernels flashable through odin are going to work properly either. you will either end up with an unbootable device, or wonky buttons.
I'm not going to try anything until an odin flashable of the stock kernel is available.
Things like this make me glad I moved my personal phone to the the Nexus lineup.
I guess we wait for the next exploit to be found
Most people who try to install this are getting errors as soon as kies tries to update the phone, where it instantly shuts down and reports numerous signature errors.
Add that you can't root and I think it's borked all around. Thanks for nothing Telus.

I installed this update yesterday with no problems. Then I tried a rooted i9000 kernel which didn't work, so I had to flash back to 2.2 and update AGAIN via Kies. No problems.

None of the custom kernels flashable through odin are going to work properly either. you will either end up with an unbootable device, or wonky buttons.

The CF-root kernel link I posted earlier should theoretically work, as long as it's bootable. The kernel applies root, which remains even if another kernel is flashed. If it's bootable with wonky buttons then we could then flash another kernel to fix the button mappings. The problem, of course, is that there are no 2.3.3 kernels for the Telus Fascinate, except zacharias.maladroit's Platypus Neo (linked above) which is designed for CM7/MIUI and may or may not play nice with stock Gingerbread.
As I said, I'm sick of reflashing to stock with no backup, so I'm opting out of trying this route. Anyone more adventurous care to give it a try?

Really odd timing for this one, for me personally anyway. I finally gave up waiting yesterday and tried to install CM7.

Thats hilarious, I installed CM7 yesterday as well. I'm about to Odin back to stock and then update to see how this is. CM7 is a little bit to buggy for me atm.

Cool. Quick question, does an update through Kies do the Kernel and ROM together? And will a currently installed custom Kernel mess with the update? Thanks!

Yes, the update will overwrite the current rom and firmware. As to your current kernel messing with the update, it depends, I used the stock kernel w/ voodoo and I could update. First I disabled lagfix and root just to be safe.

You disable voodoo and unroot the phone before making the upgrade?
How did you disabled the voodoo and unroot the phone?

Boot into clockwork recovery (VOLUP+VOLDOWN held while powering on) and there will be a menu for Voodoo with an option to disable. It's probably a good idea to disable it, as everything I've read seems to indicate that new roms with voodoo enable may create problems.
As for root - I can't see that having any effect on flashing a Kies update, but there is an option in superoneclick to unroot.

I reflashed back to the stock 2.2 Kernel/ROM just to be safe, and so far the update's great, way faster than before even without Voodoo enabled.
Others are reporting issues with trying to root on 2.3 so I would leave it rooted.

I have 2.3 stock rooted, useing the speedmod kernel/stock kernel method on here. I ain't had any problems at all.
As for the speed of the rom, I agree. Its double the speed of froyo, and there is no voodoo. So I can't wait till there is a voodoo or somthing available, I would maybe have to tie it down.
