I flashed using CWM and have ext4 on the data partition. That wouldn't happen if the kernel hadn't been flashed, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
does anyone where I can get the d'oxed stock files? I would like to get buddies now and allshare. tHANKS
[Captivate Android Development] anarche:
In that case...it doesn't exist.

Now to flash with ODIN. I'll report back if Voodoo definitely works with that or not, but from what I've been reading I'm guessing it will.
[Captivate Android Development] Ashkerlon:
flashed?

just wondering if anyone else has looked at there "about phone". I just flashed thru Odin using beta9 and "about phone" shows i have beta8.1 running.
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
You didn't add the pit and pda files, I bet. I did and it shows cognition.v2.2beta9
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Yup, mine show V2.2beta9 and I flashed with Odin
[Captivate Android Development] Ashkerlon:
I did add both files that were in the unzip and it flashed with no prob other that showing running beta 8.1. guess i'll attempt again
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Thats right. Wonder why it worked for you and no one else :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
This has happened to people on other betas when flashing with odin...

what happened was, when you went to slelect your pit and PDA files, it defaulted to the last folder you had loaded files from, which was the beta 8.1 apparently.

Open odin back up, and try and add your pit and pda file... this time, make sure you are directing it to your Beta 9 pit and pda files.
[Captivate Android Development] rsohne:
Maybe you did what I did. Make sure you grab the right files with odin because if you left beta 8.1 on your computer it will automatically grab from wherever you ran it last.
[Captivate Android Development] Sirfearoth:
I think that would be right in your case.

my benchmarks are exactly the same as stock, anyone else having this

flashed with clockwork, didn't wipe before either
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
In most cases, when you flash to a new ROM, Odin will revert back to the previous ROM you installed. I would suggest creating a seperate folder for each ROM. When you want to change ROMs, ONLY use the files from the ROM folder you are flashing to.
[Captivate Android Development] Ashkerlon:
Ah, that makes all sense, ill try that, maybe i just had a brain fart. thx so much =)
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
So lets discuss the SIM in issue. Does anyone else actually take their sim card out before flashing? This is the first time I have heard of this.
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
yup i do everytime. but i also follow all directions, could be why i have never had any issues with flashing any of dg's roms :)
[Captivate Android Development] anarche:
Flashed with ODIN and everything worked flawlessly. Voodoo is now on there, "About Phone" is displaying the correct ROM.

Hope this very basic troubleshooting is helpful.

~AnarchE
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
A. Void, you said you had pieced some files together to create the one you have now. What were you able to piece together?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
The first time I flashed with it in (accidentally) and saw that nothing was effected by leaving it in (anything noticeable to me anyway), I have left it in since. Not sure we need to discuss this in this thread though..
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Working perfectly and snappier then the i900 rom I was using with the latest reoriented kernel. DG keeps getting better!

I'm taking my kid to the doctor so I will be able to test my last issue I had with i900 rom and JPM modem which was not having 3G, only edge, in a 3G area. Girlfriend had 3G on her iPhone but I was stuck on Edge. I bet that is fixed with Cog beta 9 :)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Ahhhhhh...another satisfied customer!
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
I've never removed my SIM before updating. So far COG 9 is running great
[Captivate Android Development] agentdr8:
Just flashed b9 via CWM from b7 and didn't end up with voodoo. Found the old Voodoo folder on /sdcard from the 2.1.x days and nuked it, flashed again via CWM and still no voodoo/ext4. I saw that DG is looking into it, just thought I'd mention it fwiw.

Time to odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
You may have just been lucky this time....lol...Always remove your SIM and external cards as part of the process.
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
Flashed to B9 using CM, sim IN. Phone rebooted, 3g worked great, but couldn't change wallpaper.

Downloaded Odin version, flashed with odin, sim IN, phone rebooted, could change wallpaper, but no 3g.

Saw dgs post on flashing with sim out, so used Odin to flash again with sim OUT...phone soft-bricked, loaded into os, but kept randomly vibrating and would not accept input of any type.

Used button trick to go back to download mode, reflash to 9 using Odin with sim IN this time. Phone boots but still no 3G.

Used wifi to download CM, flashed from CM with sim IN again...figured 3g was more important than wallpaper. Phone booted, 3G works, and wallpaper works too. Yaay.

Still having HORRIBLE battery issues though...will have to try some of the fixes earlier in the thread to see if I can get that sorted out...
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Did you do a "fresh" install or update from whatever your prior ROM was before? And.. your backup included data or just the apps themselves?

I've found if I do an "upgrade" vs. a total wipe/reload - I end up getting FC's.

Plus.. my "rule of thumb" to proper upgrading is:

DISABLE ANY LAGFIX.. this cannot be emphasized enough. Bad mojo for those who do not heed this.

Should always do a ROM flash from a full-charge. Why? It will prevent you from having to play around with wiping the battery cache, and having to re-calibrate your battery by doing a full charge - unplug your USB when it gets the first notification (right when you get the message) then plugging it back in to have it finish charging to a "true" 100%.

Backup using the methods described in this thread. (Titanium Backup) Personally I always recommend just backing up applications ONLY.. no data as it seems to fubar.

Restore to a stock build then upgrade according to DG's Cognition wiki. This seems to be the best approach to a successful ROM flash to the latest and greatest.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Flashed via CWM. This thing is super fast. 2.2 features + 2.2 speed + voodoo > 2.1 w/ voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
There have been problems reported using CWM. Re-do everything, and install with Odin. You should be fine with the Odin method.
[Captivate Android Development] Ashkerlon:
voodoo

so after wonderful help on here, beta9 is up and running with voodoo. but jw for future reference, how would i disable voodoo for future upgrading flashes, since i have read it can be unwise to leave it up and running and flashing. thx in advance
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
What were you running before flashing this? Sounds like you need to do a master clear, flash to stock JF6, then ODIN to COG Beta9 (BUT FIRST, remove sim and external SD card :) )
[Captivate Android Development] kiltedthrower:
I'm slightly confused.

What do the initials CWM and RM stand for?

And with beta9, I'm taking it we cannot get it to our phones the way we have with the previous builds? (save it to computer, copy/paste it to the SD card)

I can search it. But does anyone have a direct link handy for Odin?

And the last thing. Are Odin and Odin3 from the same developer since they carry the same name?
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
was running 2.2b8, installed last night.

Do you think that will solve my battery issue? I'm a little leery about putting more time into it since I've finally got it working...but if that will solve the battery issue, I'm all about it...
[Captivate Android Development] quadzilla500:
Clockwork Mod & ROM Manager
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
CWM = Clock Work Mod

RM = Rom Manager

I have a question though.. I am running 8.1. Should I do a master clear first, then odin back to stock, then odin to 9? I am confused on the order, if I master clear first then restore to stock or restore to stock then master clear
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Beta 8 has issues with JI2 modem file - Your battery should not be draining at all like it was with Beta8 after you flash to beta 9..

if you are using a fresh install of beta 9 anyway, which means you haven't spent much time putting your apps/information back in, then I suggest doing those things..

remove sim and ext. sd card too. :D
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I've read through this massive thread and asked this question, still havent seen any answers.

I made the mistake of letting the markey try and update Titanium Backup as soon as I had installed 2.2B7. It downloaded and its now stuck on "Installing". It just sits there. Every time I go to the market then go to downloads it's still telling me its trying to install the updated Titanium Backup. How can I get it to stop?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
You sold me :]

Time to let the folks at work know I'm gonna be just a littttle bit later than anticipated ;]

Downloading master clear now :D
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
try settings->applications->manage applications->all-> market -> clear data
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Nice. late for work to update a ROM :) priceless.

You are downloading the One click ODIN to do the master clear and flash to stock, right? Just want to make sure..
[Captivate Android Development] clown_luv:
Will installinh oclf over voodoo mess anything up?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
do not do that.

All that will do is cause problems - it will probably over inflate your Quadrant scores, but that means nothing
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
You need to go to application manager then filter all then find the market app and then clear cache
[Captivate Android Development] samtran0331:
How long should it take to install?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for such a noob question...but I couldn't find an answer in this thread, the site or Google....but how long should it take to install this ROM?

I'm looking at the screen and the first line is:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2

And the last line says:

Installing update...

...but the progress bar is empty...and has been for almost 45 minutes.

Is this normal or did I screw up?

I've been a Windows Mobile user for the last few years and the ROM updates usually take 10-15 minutes...so this is freakin' me out.

Thanks all!
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
Yessir....One click ODIN - I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0

Already having a problem though. Button-tricked into download mode, odin recognized phone when I plugged it in, hit the "master clear" button, odin console shows "Master Clear Started..." and then..nothing. No progress indicator above the com label, nada. Been that way for maybe 3 mins. Will probably disconnect phone and try again.

Work is, fortunately, very understanding about these things. Since we're a digital creative agency, and part of what I'm supposed to do is develop cutting edge eye-candy, having a jump on being able to develop AIR apps for Android is a good thing for all of us, so I'm sure they don't mind... ;]
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
in the past you would have a Voodoo folder under root... put in a file/folder and name it "disable-lagfix" with no extension or "'s in that folder and reboot. The ladies voice will state it's reverting back to RFS and you should be good to go.

But.. this is covered in the Cognition Wiki and FAQ methinks.
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
has anyone else installed launcher pro in beta9? it seems after i put launcher pro on whenever i push the lock button the phone vibrates twice and does a soft reboot?? its either launcher pro or circle battery mod, since i put them both on at the same time i can't narrow it down to one or the other.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
Been using it 23 minutes. And the battery is still @ 100. I don't think the screen has been off for more than a min. Looking like I'll have good results with beta 9
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
USB debugging must be enabled to do master clear - so the phone needs to be on :)
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
awesome. Can't wait to get my new round of flashes done...
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
The latest version of Launcher Pro works for me. no FC here
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
did you flash with your sim/sd card in? :D
[Captivate Android Development] novajustin:
ok. well looks like my phone isn't liking whatever i've done to it so i'm going to start from scratch and this time install one by one.
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
Just rebooted phone, USB debugging on, tried master clear again (shut down odin and relaunched it between disconnect and reconnect of phone)...still doing the same thing. Very odd...

trying again...

EDIT: third time's the charm, master clear going through this time...
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Curious on others thoughts..

Why is it that some people have issues with flashing ROM's and others don't (such as myself?)

I'm not talking about the physical aspect of doing the deed, I mean they have problems with apps, etc..

Is it the way in which people flash the ROM? Not following the steps right?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
I installed OCLF but did it to use the alter minfree setting and disk scheduler. I wouldn't recommend installing the lagfix or ext2 tools over voodoo. Can't make anything better.

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Typically you would do the "Master Clear" inside the phone to wipe all of your data. Not in Odin. I would recommend using Odin just for the flash.. not the wipe. :)

And if anything - if it fubars to the computer ++++ phone screen - your not completely dead if you can get back into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Odin is kind of particular, you need to have it open before you plug your phone in. Glad you got it though. Hope you have no problem getting into download mode to revert/upgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
That can become confusing for people as there are numerous methods to "master clear" using the phone, none of which are called master clear and each performs a different function. Honestly, as long as you don't restore anything but your apps, most roms will wipe the data, cache, etc when installing so nothing much left except for the sd partition on your internal card anyway. I flash way too much (avg one a day always looking for a better mix ;)) and unless I see a problem that in not explained, I don't remove anything or format the sd card.
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
Did master clear from Odin 1 click - seemed to work, though phone booted back into cognition when it was done...is that supposed to happen? I had thought phone would be in a "non-os" state after a master clear...

Download mode not a problem :] - doing one click back to jf6 now, and then (hopefully!) reflashing to cog b9 with odin and enjoying fully functional 3g and battery life <_<

Thanks so much to everyone for jumping in and helping me out, what a great community!!
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
I was just thinking this myself.

Just Odin'd beta9 and have voodoo enabled. It does indeed feel like a snappier rom right after reboot. Transition to opening a new app, back button etc all feel really good.

But, Touchdown syncing is only about 1/3 the speed it is when the OCLF v22+ is enabled. So wondered what if OCLF would work ontop of voodoo to bet benefits of both.....
[Captivate Android Development] rickyt63:
I've also been searching all over the places for these d'oxed stock files.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Yes, the master clear basically wipes what is on your internal sd card directory (except for system files)
[Captivate Android Development] AlexNiP:
Can someone post the new cognition wallpaper? I lost mine with appbrain synch...:(
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
will clockwork work with the lagfix, or do we use disable-lagfix again?
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
Bah! Now I can't get back into download mode after flashing back to JF6. Neither button combo works (before i was using volume+usb, no power), and when I try to reboot from shell with adb, I can access shell fine but get "operation not permitted" when I try to issue the reboot command...

EDIT: Got it - nevermind :]
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
That's exactly what i was gonna report.

I flashed beta9 with rom manager and it is completed without errors

But my kernel is still "jaetek.lee" Not "Cogkernel". also, i dun think my cappy got voodoo installed.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Which method worked?
[Captivate Android Development] timj5150:
I have the same it flashed through Cw in about 15 secs. but im still showing stock kernel and no voodoo folder?
[Captivate Android Development] thehavock18:
+1 Same here
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
yes. left both in
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
ADB.

Think my device (captivate) was one of the ones shipped without the files needed to go into download mode from stock, then these came later via update. Can't quite recall. Think it should work with cog reinstalled...

Aaaaand....after all of that, rebooted into cog after final flash with odin and...no 3g. my tears. they flow. Going to try to flash again with RM to see if I can get that back.....
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
Tried searching this, didn't find anything. Since flashing b9 my screen won't lock when on a call. I even hit the power button to lock it and it unlock's itself. Got yelled at a few times for shoulder dialing.

I One clicked to JF6, then flashed to b9 (only because I had tried voodoo kernal prior on b8.1 and wanted clean install. Also, I had issue using CWM/RM to flash, I got stuck in a reboot loop going to stock recovery. So I ended up flashing to stock and odin flashing to b9.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Idk if it would install or if it did I don't see how it could make it better. The RFS filesystem is already replaced by voodoo. You can always try and see if it works for you and post your results.

Posted from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] imb951:
From the command prompt

su

adb shell

mount

Check and see if the first line or two about /data says ext4 or rfs. If it says ext4 then voodoo is working. My kernel says jaetek.lee too, I'm pretty sure DG didn't rename it, but he says in the release notes that it's based off the stock JI6 kernel, which is also named jaetek.lee...

Running quadrant should yield a score of around 1400 if voodoo is working
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
where does it say the kernel should change to "cogkernel?"

If you don't have the voodoo folder and you used CWM, you need to reflash using ODIN - I believe only 1 person reported that voodoo was installed using CWM, all others say the CWM method is not installing correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] extasy88:
After flashing to B9, my Captivate orgasmed after it booted up...
[Captivate Android Development] timj5150:
Mine says roofs
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
Any chance it will be fixed and available later today? I'm not comfortable using ODIN.
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
I used cwm and have voodoo folders. Gonna check quadrant score now
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Okay odin beta 9 went well and installed good with no issues. I am having foece close for email and force close for another process that I cannot remember what it said at this time. Just putting this out there in case others are having an issue and it is a bug and not something I did. I will keep reading to see.

On another note EVERYTHING is super fast and smooth transitioning between screens app and all. Thanks DG.

Beta 9 successful with CW

Last night I downloaded beta 9 a few minutes after it went online, before there was an odin version available. I was running beta 8.1 at the time.

I installed beta9 using CW, I did NOT flash back to anything else, I flashed directly from beta 8.1

The clockwork install went perfect first time, 'About' shows the rom to be beta9, and Voodoo installed (ext4 is present, Quadrant confirms).

So, at least for me, the CW install worked without a hitch, (DG the kernel DID install), and Voodoo worked.
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
My score was 1545 :-) flashed with cwm from 8.1
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
how long should it take for the 1st reboot on beta 9 im going on ten mins on the at&t screen
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
3 minutes maybe? are you flashing with CWM or ODIN?
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
Just did this twice, both times from beta8.1. Voodoo did not install either time.
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
odin, but before i flashed back to stock
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
so you use rom mananger to flash?
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
ok it booted ...took awhile though
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Ok found one post that might be my issue. Anyone share to comment on how they restore after flasjing a new rom? I used tibu and restored all apps and data and system settings (whatever they are called, I restored it all). I guess I will be waiting for my battery to fully charge again and wipe data or wipe and reinstall odin9 then only back up the Apps and App data

Sent from Samsung Captivate Cogniton v2.2 BETA 8.1 FroYo
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
I am getting FCs when attempting to power off or reset. I get the vibrates and then my phone seems to soft reset. This started for me in when I installed 8.1 last night, just before 9 was released. I've read some other posts that mention this problem but can't recall a solution.
[Captivate Android Development] bradasmith:
Didn't think so, tried it, doesn't work.

Wish whatever makes OCLF fast in the read/write dept could be integrated into Voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Booting BETA9 first time from flashing from 5.5.... Nice boot screen DG!
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
You are only supposed to restore apps+data never system data as that could very well bork something
[Captivate Android Development] RapidAdapted:
man, this sucks. had cog b9 working with 3g, but battery issues. did a master clear, flashed to stock, and then flashed back to cog 9, and now cant get 3g working in any config, and still have battery issues. huge suckage.

EDIT: was able to install jpm modem with odin and configure from dialer...3g now working again, but still have terrible batt issues. I'll take it!
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
nice just flashed this everything working great so far
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
Mine is rfs.

And my quadrant score is 973 which is little higher then stock rom.

edit** But i can tell my cappy is faster without voodoo anyways.

Imma reflash with odin tonight at home.

correct, unless you were using Voodoo lagfix prior
