Classic! People always blame others to save from their own incompetence
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Flashing this kernel is for people who know what they are doing even w/o instructions, but the instructions on how to flash is pretty clear though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
Ditto, I forgot to convert back to rfs (disable voodoo) before flashing a while back lost everything but had a backup. Also lost my backups cos I accidently formatted my sd card instead of system partition! Simply a mistake and my own, not one I'll make again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
you call that bricking?

and, put the blame on yourself ;D what's so difficult to flash a kernel?

herpderp.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] konateh:
Well the voice actually told me "Please repartition" or something, and i had to enter boot mode to do that, and i repartitioned it, that requires a reboot. If it had just been a couple more sentences on the install explanation this wouldnt have happened.

I've tried flashing with odin, computer doesnt recognize the phone and i have the drivers installed.

So the phone IS bricked, and it IS because of lack of explanation on the installation guide.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] savit:
I belive the voices tell you different thigs, but the basic rule is: if you are not sure what you're doing - don't do it.

You obviously didn't understand what was going on, however decided to continue with a self invented procedure. It's really hard to imagine how far you must have misunderstood the instructions, to decide rebooting and repartitioning (?!) while voodoo was still converting fs...

Fortunately you have here great manuals to recover, just need to read them with patience and understanding. Please be careful.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PhilAd:
yeah but before i modify anything on my phone that could brick it or make me losing my warranty i read more than just 2 lines about this topic ... it is not the fault of the instructions ... i my guess they are complete ... before i flashed i have read several topics about that especially about problems that could cause ...

so it is just your own fault and you might read the follwing:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fylim:
I do believe that the synthesized voice when enabling or disabling lagfix is rather annoying and for new users, it can be difficultt to make out what it is saying or mean.

Why not keep it simple and just put some words or if want to make it cool some nice progress bar?

If there is an error show the error and the allow user to continue. Think just makes things more intuitive and people know whys happening.

My 2 cents
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] konateh:
So according to you there is some kind of requirement for people flashing this rom to do lots of research before flashing? In my opinion there should not be any reason to do any extra research unless something unexpected happens, I followed the instructions on the web page, and the instructions the voice gave me, and they are way to easy to misunderstand.

I already lost my warranty and this is my 5th time flashing my device. It was because of water damage to the usb port, so i can only connect to the charger and the computer doesn't recognize the device no matter what I do. I tried flashing through odin before and it doesnt work. So for anyone else they would be able to recover by flashing through odin if they make the same mistake (as I'm sure a huge amount of people will). In my case, my phone is bricked, byebye 1200 dollars.

I don't see any way of being able to fix my phone at this point.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
It was saying "converting data partition...or system partition...cause if you was aware of what this "kernel" not "rom" does, then you would have known what it was doing...do more research next time...

But I agree...if you don't know what your doing, how to do it or if you don't know what your flashing actually DOES, then you have no business flashing it....that's just the cold hearted truth... there is literally probley 1000s of people that has used Supercurios Voodoo and had no issues at all...so its clear it was user error and in NO way Supercurios fault...

But your phone is NOT bricked as long as you can get into download mode...you can use Odin to flash back to stock..as long as u can enter dlmode ur fine...I've had alot of bad flashes and made it out from worst

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rlorange:
Lol! Rebooting your phone in the middle of voodoo doing its thing is just plain tyre persons fault. The voice is a little hard to understand but it actually tells you how long it will take and is pretty accurate... It would be conventional to have progress bar etc but then again the voice its supercurio's trademark.

Why can't people just admit their mistakes I've made plenty, the instructions are clear as mud and voodoo conversion is very reliable unless someone interrupts it because they didn't wait for it to finish.

Ok so if tou have stopped being defensive and admitted the instructions ree fine and you made a mistake then you can read some more and find our how to fix your phone. If you have download then the phone its not bricked. You can used odin to flash a whole new rom from samfirwares.com and start from scratch but before that try:

Flashing voodoo kernel again using odin. Phone won't boot so pull the battery if it freezes then boot into recovery holding home vol up and power. If this works then go to voodoo menu in recovery and disable lagfix first and then do a factory reset and go from there. Voodoo will try to convert the system data which us corrupted and fail until you disable voodoo in recovery and then do a factory reset to fix the system data then you can redo voodoo again once its all good.

Tou could try to do a firmware repair in kies as well.

Edit: if your phone goes into download mode then it WILL be able to talk to your computer once your driver situation is resolved. Take it to a repair shop.

Astounding that you continue to blame bad instructions for your mistake, dont know why I'm bothering to try to help maybe you deserve to pay to get it fixed.

cwm nandroid backup and no restore

@supercurio

Speedmod and voodoo are using a different naming scheme for the dbdata partition CMW backup (dbdata.img vs datadata.img).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10223104#post10223104

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10223686#post10223686

My old backups made with old CWMRecovery (no voodoo) are called datadata.img too => so i guess this bug is not related toVoodoo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tiwag:
yes i know the difference between dbdata.img (speedmod kernel cwm) and

datadata.img (voodoo kernel cwm) and therefore i made different backups (sk and vk) with one and the other kernel.

restore was done each time from the right backup-set.

btw i've also analysed the contents of the backups and they seem identically, also when they use different names.

you also can restore a backup done from voodoo kernel cwm

with the speedmod kernel cwm if you rename datadata.img to

dbdata.img and regenerate the md5 file.

so the problem is pointed down to the voodoo kernel cwm restore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rom-g:
so let's flash a stock firmware and do a recovery-backup with the default Clockworkmod recovery (then, no voodoo inside...) => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734166#

The name scheme is datadata.img. and speedmod won't be able to restore it (unless you rename the file and bypass or change the md5 sum).

So, how could it be Voodoo related ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tiwag:
hello rom-g :D

please try to understand the history ...

1. i was using the "Advanced Voodoo 5 Final v69" kernel with builtin clockworkmod recovery, with which i first got the problem, that a restored system wasn't working. The backup was done with the same kernel's cwm-recovery system.

i posted this in their thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10384306#post10384306

2. dev trasig answered me, that he just took supercurios compiled cwm-recovery and integrated it into his kernel

see here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10400475&postcount=973

and to pinpoint the problem, i should post the problem here in the original voodoo thread.

3. i know, that the backups between speedmod kernel's cwm-recovery and voodoo-kernel's cwm-recovery aren't compatible. (which is idiotic btw., because it's only a different name for one image used) but that it's not the primary problem.

i dont want to restore a backup, which was done with the other system. i want to to a backup and restore with the same system.

the problem is, that a

backup- and restore- cycle of a Froyo 2.2.1 JPY system

does work with the speedmod-kernel's cwm-recovery,

but does not work with the voodoo-kernel's cwm-recovery.

i tried this two times (as explained already)

So, how could it be Voodoo related ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
Wow... the Dunning=Kruger effect....

I would not go that far and would summarize that with my own saying:

What does the damage? The tool, or the hand that handles the tool? :eek:

Anyhow, I think that it would be better if lagfixes/FS convertions would no be applied by default DURING installation of optimized or slightly modified kernels .

In my case I always have a Voodoo folder in SD card with a "disable lagfix" folder in it. In this way lagfix is no applied during kernel install, and IF I find it necessary I can always apply lagfix from recovery , later
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rom-g:
ok understood ;)

Humm.. i made several backup/restore cycles with vooodoo on FROYO 2.2.1 but never encountered this problem....:confused:

That's really weird..... I hope you'll find some help here...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tiwag:
which kernel (exact number) are you using, where backup/restore of 2.2.1 worked ?

did you wipe data and factory reset before restoring?

thanks, tiwag
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] penfold:
can someone pls clarify if this should be flashed by just booting into recovery or should CWM be used? .....there are different instructions on this thread and on the voodoo homepage.

and should the zip file be renamed to update.zip or just left as is?

and would i lose 2e recovery by flashing this?

Wifi not working with Voodoo kernel

Hello,

I just noticed that with a stock JPY firmware everything works correctly when I want to use my home Wi-Fi, but if I apply Voodoo then Wi-Fi got broken immediatly. I tried twice.

When I apply the fix, everything works well again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889106

I'm using a WPA2 protected access point. If there's no encryption configured, it connects correctly.

Everyone who is using Voodoo with their home Wi-Fi connection had to apply this fix after Voodoo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
Nope not me. Not had any problems with my SGS running stock JPY+Voodoo 5.03 connecting to any APs, but if I do will know where to look. In personally use WPA2 at home and work.

In my experience it's often as much a problem with compatibility of different manufacturers APs, especially when people haven't upgraded the firmware. We had to do this at work globally when the iPad was released even though it had its own issues, there was also a bug in the APs.

Voodoo Reboot Brick Help??

I tried to install voodoo lag fix... using clockwork... i flashed it and the cellphone rebooted, now the phone will just continue rebooting from the vibrant logo and the robotic woman keeps saying over and over "Optimizing Data blah blah Ext 4..." and goes back again reboots and the robotic girl again... Ive Waiting almost 20 mins it doesnt pass this part...

Cant get into recovery neither Download mode... any ideas some 1?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] betoNL:
No download mode? That's bad...

Try removing battery, then put it back and try download mode again.

Then try flashing a kernel that wont try to apply any FS convertion by default

Could that be that your battery is empty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gowger:
delayed allocation?

Just wondering if voodoo uses "-o data=alloc_on_commit" or anything like that.

I've been nervous about using ext4 since I learnt about the order it writes things to disk. I was burned very badly by xfs years ago and never wanted to go with delayed allocation since.

Especially since my galaxy s can easily pop it's battery out if you drop it at the wrong angle!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Hey supercurio! Now you can create an app to edit lagfix settings also!

Looking forward to the voodoo sound app.

Donated €10 for the lagfix.

Will donate another €10 when you release the left-right volume control app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jetcz:
@supercurio

Great job with the voodoo sound! Finally my SGS can be used as a proper music reproduction device :)

But one thing is bothering me, I was using warm versions of speedmod kernel to correct my stupid blueish display, which I can't now, obviously, if I want to use voodoo kernel...

Sooo.. I know it's a long shot, but is there any chance you could relase version with warmer colors like hardcore does? Like a temporal solution before voodoo color, which I supose is a longterm project, is realased. Would be really helpful for people with the arctic polar edition display from siberia :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
I kept the ClockWorkMod recovery standards to stay 100% compatible.. but didn't thought of this particular issue with non-standards CWM.

It's like any standards, you are not supposed to extend or break them ^^

Anyway, "dbdata" exist only on Galaxy* there is no such thing on HTC or Google devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks for the report, I will study that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

alloc_on_commit don't exist as Ext4 option, but Voodoo uses safe mount options for Ext4 on each partition.

Here is how it's done:

https://github.com/project-voodoo/l...initramfs_parts/scripts/init_functions.sh#L46

PS: I also lost data on XFS (garbage in files) some years ago when working on a cluster - tests only. I changed for the prod !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thank you !

As i did "quick" I implemented only the global level, but be sure I will add separate left-right volume chooser too.

It's useful for impaired listeners and also in several other scenarios!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Now that I'm able to write Apps. possibilities are endless.

I have a LOT of unused pieces of code and notes that didn't make sense before, this is different now.

Install Voodoo, the fresher

Hi Guys!

I'm from Hungary and I have a Galaxy S (from Telenor) and I would install lagfix because Runkeeper is not usable.

What I did:

- I downloaded the update.zip

- I copied to my phone (/sdcard/update.zip)

- I restarted my phone in recovery mode

- the recovery mode saw the update.zip file

- I choose that: install update

And I got this:

...

Verifying update package...

Signature verification failed!

Installation aborted!

So, what can I do? If it is possible I wouldn't root my phone. Thanks for any help in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
Sounds like your current firmware doesn't have ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery Mode so you'll need to use the Odin method to install or get CWM installed first (which I don't know how to do, but gets installed with Voodoo so you're set for next time).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kahjuay:
You probably have recovery version 3e that checks for signature verification. You would need to use odin to flash to a kernel with version 2e with cwm support before flashing this kernel. Check out the instructions from doc's thread for detailed instructions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PhilAd:
you should disable all lagfixes and flash to voodoo then ... speedmod kernel uses universal lagfix ... don't think that these ext4 lagfixes are compatible?! not sure ... could be ...

but both of them use ext4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Taomyn:
Using the latest Voodoo for Odin, 5.1, from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806195 means you'll get CWM, so you might as well do it this way and you're flashing only once.

Hi zhang :)

Thanks for your message! you're one of the very rare user from China to talk here!

With trasig, we looked at at his stats sooner today and China represented 23% of the kernel downloads!

Next was France with 9% :D

About your question, yes you can switch from a version to another without issue.

I made my 5.1 and every stock+Voodoo update.zip releases ClockWorkMod 3.0 compatible also.

Voodoo stable 5.1 is a trusty kernel containing no experimental patchs. One you can flash one day and keep for month ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

You don't need to disable the lagfix, and IMO the best option is to flash through ClockWorkMod recovery.

It's safer and also, you don't need a computer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, if there are incompatibilities, I'll let you know for sure.

And I try my best never create any ;)

Be sure you are not running a jfs lagfix or loops. Any Ext4 partitions will be fine ;)

It would maybe a good idea to update to the latest firmware - imho JPY.

If you are from UK, just search for it in Kies, otherwise use the reghack or flash with ODIN.
