[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
Make sure you thank imnuts for all his hard in making CWM fully functional.(its not done yet, but it will be cause he's awsome and he likes banana's)

Clock Work MOD or CWM, is a recovery replacement for the Samsung Android Phones. In CWM you can create back up’s of ROM’s, restore to a previous back up, format data, clear cache, wipe dalvick cache, wipe battery stats and more. I will explain the basics for now and into more depth later.

Booting to CWM.

1. With the phone powered off, hold down the vol up, home and the power button all at the same time.

2. When you see the “Samsung” logo, let go of the power button.

3. After a few seconds you will see a screen that has red writing and a few lines of text, that is CWM.

CWM Menu

-reboot system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-advanced

-voodoo

-power off

Now most of that is self-explanatory, so we won’t dwell too much on each right now.

Note: Use the menu key as the back button.

Creating a system back up is the first thing you should learn to do, and the first thing you should do before screwing with your phone. I don’t back up every time I install something new. What I do is set my phone up just how I want it. Then I back that up. This is my working back up. If I screw up my phone at least I can get through the day until I have time to flash a new ROM. The system back up is just the ROM; it does not back up the radio or the kernel. It creates an image of your system.

Backing up your ROM. (This does not work yet!!!)

1. Using the volume down key move the high light to “backup and restore”

2. Use the power key to select

3. Use power key to select to select backup

This part can take several minutes, so be patient.

Installing A New ROM or Theme or whatever

1. Using the volume down key move the high light to “install zip from sdcard”

2. Use the power key to select

3. Move down to choose zip from sdcard

4. Use power key to select

5. Navigate to the folder and file you want to flash

6. Select with power key

7. Now you will see this:

–no

–no

–no

–no

–no

–no

–yes

–no

–no

–no

8. Arrow down to yes

9. Select with power button

Once you are done, use the menu button to back up to the home screen and select reboot system.

What is Voodoo

What is Voodoo?

Voodoo is a kernel replacement. Our phones use a proprietary RFS file system built as a legacy FAT, adding indexing and POSIX permission on the internal 2gb memory. There is nothing wrong with RFS, but it’s slow. From what I understand it indexes everything. This takes time, causing lag. Voodoo reformats the internal SD card with standard Linux EXT4. EXT4 is a faster. This filing system is what is reffered to as the lag fix.

Voodoo also makes the screen sharper, and has some improvemnets to sound quality as well. These have nothing to do with the lag fix portion of voodoo.

Voodoo Enhancements:

Voodoo Lagfix

Voodoo Sound

Backlight Notifications

Slightly undervolted

interactive cpu governor

Color enhancements

Voodoo Rules:

1. Don’t panic. I seriously doubt you can screw up your phone worse than I have screwed up mine. Everything is un-screw-able.

2. Don’t flash a non-voodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel. If you do stupid crap will happen to your phone. It won’t boot for one, and you will break CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
How to Voodoo

1. Flash a voodoo kernel of your choice. It doesn’t matter if you flash individually or with a rom.

2. Restart Phone.

3. Wait

4. Wait

5. Wait

6. Wait…. Seriously, it takes anywhere 2 to 15 minutes. During this time you will hear a female robot (or perhaps, a female android) talking.

7. Once the phone restarts you are done!!!

It really is that simple.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
How to unVoodoo

How to UnVoodoo

The key to uninstalling voodoo is CWM. To be specific you don’t uninstall voodoo, you disable the lag fix. Once that’s done you can flash a new non-voodoo kernel.

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Select “voodoo”.

3. Select “disable lag fix”.

4. Press soft menu button.

5. Select “reboot system now”

6. Wait.

7. Wait.

8. Wait.

9. Wait. Just like during the install, this will take 2-15 minutes, while its reformatting your internal SD card.

10. Your phone will then restart. At this point you still have a voodoo kernel, the lag fix has just been disabled.

11. Reboot to recovery.

12. Flash non-voodoo kernel of your choice.

Note: If you are flashing from one voodoo kernel to another, you do not need to disable lag fix.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting.

In order to trouble shoot i had to create some trouble to shoot. So i decided to break the rules.

Rule # 1. Dont panic. I started with rule number one because that seemed the logical place to start. However i had nothing to panic about, so i just looked silly. We wont talk about that.

Rule # 2. Dont flash a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo kernel without disableing the lag fix first. I got some results out of this. I bricked my phone. As I have done this 5000000000 times before, I still had no luck with rule number one. My phone how would no longer boot past the Samsung screen. so i rebooted into recovery, and got blue CWM. I tried to apply update.zip and got E:fail blah blah blah.

The reason for this is the filing system is still EXT4. A non voodoo kernel does not know how to talk EXT4, it only speaks RFS. In order to fix the brick we have to do the missing step, disable lag fix.

1. Put the phone in download mode and flash Red CWM.

2. Reboot into recovery. You should now have Red CWM.

3. Select "voodoo"

4. Select "disable lag fix"

5. When you return to the menu, press the menu soft button

6. Reboot. Again this will take 2-15 minutes as the filing system is converted from EXT4 to RFS.

Thats it. That is the only problem I could make happen related to voodoo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
How do I tell if I have voodoo enabled

It is often asked "How do I know if I have voodoo?" The simplest way is to run an app called Quadrent. Quadrent is a benchmark app. Scores above 1000 means you have voodoo.

The proper way is to use a terminal emulator and type "mount".

You will see this:

Code:

mount

rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0

proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0

sys /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0

/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_all oc 0 0

/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_allo c 0 0

/dev/block/stl10 /dbdata ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,nodelalloc,data=ordered,noaut o_da_alloc 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /data ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloct he

ext4 is what you are looking for. If you see RFS in any of the 4 locations you dont have voodoo or just one of the partitions has voodoo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
Thank you!!!! This is much need info for all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Very nice. Might you include a How To get CWM on the phone in this as well?
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Is this updated version of CWM now in jt1134's [ROOT] [KERNEL] [RECOVERY] - Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery flash package? Or will there be a new CWM file loaded here?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
There will be a new one.

Once that happens I will include instructions on how in stall it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
So when I boot into CWM Recovery, at the bottom i see this:

E:Missing bitmap icon_clockwork

(code -1)

CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v.3.0.2.8x

Is the missing bitmap icon_clockwork normal? Does anyone else see this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
just means the normal cwr is missing...shouldnt affect anything else
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
where do you get CWM, and how do you install it? I assume one needs to have a rooted phone to install?

I assume I go to the thread titled: "[ROOT] [KERNEL] [RECOVERY] - Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery"

and flash that file using ODIN v3? This is just a guess because it's not actually specifically mentioned anywhere that I can find.

THanks in Advance

I don't actually own this phone... yet, so I'm doing some studying while my phone is in the mail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Yes the cmw .tar is the one you need to flash in odin to get CWM recovery. Unless you boot immediately into recovery and flash a rooted kernel you may lose it, though, as the stock kernel will overwrite it I believe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mikey450GT:
Do you need to be on ED1 to flash this, or can you still be on ED2? I'm guessing I will have to wipe my phone to get back to ED2, correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
jt1134's Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery package will root/voodoo lagfix/CWM ED1 and ED2, you might as well update to ED2 and then flash if you are going to remain stock. If you are going to install a custom ROM read the specifics about it first before doing anything.

For myself personally I will be flashing Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery and then using a file manager to cut/paste the 270MB of bloatware out of my phone, I will install a custom ROM later I'm just waiting a bit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robby88:
I think you need to add a warning in there that you can NOT restore with CWM at the moment to make sure ppl don't misunderstand what is being put up
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Thanks for clearing that up!
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
good point. done.

Official CWM support for Droid Charge???

So Koush posted that he has added support for "Samsung Charge" here:

Tweet: twitter.com/#!/clockworkmod/status/73284252980084737

Blog: koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html# (search for "charge")

You can download the newest ROM Manager off the market and it will now show that option... But I can't get it to install.

I see that it downloads the update.zip to the sdcard, but when I reboot to the stock recovery and try to install the sdcard:update.zip it fails and i get the Triangle and Exclamation point android guy.

I have the rooted ED1 on my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dclause1:
Where can I get cmw.tar?
[Verizon Droid Charge] qubanaso:
allright guys im getting aggravated with this im holding the up,down vol and power at the same time is not booting into cmw, ive also tried both vol buttons the home key and power and nothing?

what am i doing wrong :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
Its vol up, home, and power button.
[Verizon Droid Charge] qubanaso:
wow lol nice thanks for that 1 :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks, davey11!

gunnermike - Can you update the first post with this info? I went through a bunch of unnecessary resets attempting to get into CWM before I saw this post.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Any clue why none of the bottom 4 buttons work in CWM? The right side lock/unlock button is the only one that works for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
The menu button does not work as a back button.

You have to scroll thru a menu 3 times and a "go back" choice appears in the menu and you can choose that with the power button to go back

Kinda curious if anyone has tried/flashed Koush's newest recovery now that he has added support for the Charge. If so is it functional now or do we still need Imnuts to work some major on it so it is fully functional.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Good question, I guess that would be something Koush could answer. I am still trying to find a way to install CWM without soft bricking my Charge.

I got the Voodoo kernel installed, no problem then I flash CWM and it passes, put the battery in and I get soft brick.

I looked up ROM Manager in the market and checked out the Koush's site http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html and it does who the Charge in the list, you can manually d/l the file or install ROM Manager (I have a license for the Pro version). Has anyone tried it yet?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Which Voodoo kernel file & CWM are you flashing? I thought the file flashes both for you at the same time. Speaking for myself I've never had to flash just the recovery yet but still have it on my devices frmo the few different ROMs and kernels I had flashed to it
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
@will2live - Thanks. I am installing the VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5 from the OP in this thread, jt1134 has a separate file called VoodooChargeCWM-2 in the OP in this thread as well so I have been going under the impression they were two different files that need to be flashed separately.

Are you only flashing the VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5 file and also getting CWM as well?

I did install Koush's ROM Manager and selected the Charge's CWM within ROM Manager. Once I rebooted into recovery my Charge booted only to the SAMSUNG logo and won't go any further. I did this with the Voodoo Kernel installed and nothing else.

I have emailed Koush from his site to let him know. Others may wish to try as well and see if they get different results.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Now you have me thinking.....lol. And before I say for sure I better check the files I've got at home on my comp. Got my Charge and used it stock for that day and the following and then went on a flashing run. And at the end of the day I ended up with Altered Beast. Then just updated to Imnuts kernel from 6/2/11
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Koush got right back to me via email and confirmed "there's a bug in Droid Charge's recovery that I built. I was made aware of it this morning. I'll fix it when I have some time :)

Koush"

I have no doubt it will be addressed soon. In the meantime I am still running into issues with CWM and Voodoo kernel together. At this point I am just aiming to get Voodoo Kernel on my Charge with the Stock ED2 ROM for now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droid-ed:
I ran into the same problem with flashing the Voodoo kernel and then CWM. It turns out, I had turned off sound on my phone. So I couldn't hear the voice status messages.

It does take a few minutes to convert from rfs to ext4. And remember you cannot use the previous recovery once you have flashed the new kernel.

Bottom line: keep your battery fully charged and turn on sound before flashing the Voodoo kernel. Flash the CWM tar file immediately after that. Then boot.

My Charge has jumped in Quadrant score from 800s to 1400s. I notice the improvement in performance. But you know what, I just found out that my son's HTC Thunderbolt running stock (no root, no debloating) scores 1600+ What gives?
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
quadrent is a rediclulous app that makes pretty bar graphs. the scores are completely meaning less. gizmodroid can tell you how to get quadrent scores in the 6000's, and your phone will run just like it does now.

thet me sum up:

Quadrent scores are meaningless and are a complete waste of time!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] bweN diorD:
it looks like my voodoo is enabled but my Q score is always in the low 1200's

its not a big deal, im just wondering if i was doing something wrong. i just installed the new gummy charged rom to try it out, the phone is snappier but Q score is about the same.

thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Running quad while your phone is plugged in will lower the score. Dunno if that is the case here, just thought I'd mention it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bweN diorD:
thanks,

i just tried and its still in the average i have been getting.

i really wouldnt care as long as i was sure it wasnt a misrepresentation of a lack of performance due to an error somehow on my part.

thanks again
[Verizon Droid Charge] m6ar2cel6o:

I downloaded ROM Manager and I cant boot into recovery mode from ROM Manager...has this still not been fixed? If I downloaded CWM from ROM Manager, will I be able to boot in recovery as mentioned on the first page?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
I also have a question in the CWM voodoo section there is a selection for enable lagfix and system lagfix....if I want the lagfix turned on do I enable them both or just the voodoo one? Can you explain the difference? In the new yellow CWM it defaults to enable lagfix and system lagfix on.....even though below in white text it states voodoo lagfix is actually:diabled and next boot:disabled

I know its on because my quadrant scores are high and thru voodoo control it says the file system in EXT4 and thats lagfix is on
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
I would turn both on to get maximum performance. The reason it always says disabled is because CWM doesn't currently read the voodoo state correctly.

Skin1980 CWM for P1010 -- automatic CWM screen

Hi All,

I've installed Skin1980-P1010-NEW-CF-ROOT-GB.tar for my Samsung tablet P1010, as described in this topic [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386643], through Odin 1.85.

It all went well and CWM installed. After that, I did a Nandroid backup and saved it on my PC.

However, CWM always starts automatically when I turn on my tablet. Does anyone know if this is normal, and how can I access my installed system again, without falling in CWM main screen?

Thank you!

So I received the notification to update it to 3.1 today, so I updated it. Update went fine, and I used it about 20 minutes after the update. No issues! I turned the screen off, then went back to use it an hour later and it wouldn't boot, so I turned it off (long press power 10 seconds) and turned it back on and now it just sits at the Asus boot animation. The animation "flashes" once, then stops.

I'm on stock, never rooted. I went into recovery and did the thing to wipe it, but it still won't boot...

I've let it sit at the Asus screen for 45 min and still nothing...

If I hit Vol UP after I power it on holding Vol down + power, I get to the Android guy with the triangle in his stomach area, but nothing ever happens...
