stuck

I flashed the new Dl09 using odin while my phone was running the Voodoo lagfix. The phone will splash the Samsung logo then it shows "--Wiping data... Formatting FOTA:... Formatting DATA:... Data wipe failed. Formatting Cache... Formatting DBDATA:.... wipe_data failed. " it'll blank and repeat the process indefinately

If anybody can help this novice it would be appreciated. Thanks!

ADB?

I installed voodoo kernel on my DI01 rooted fascinate. Flashed StupidFast kernel over Voodoo and now my phone is stuck at the samsung boot up screen. I dont know how to use the adb shell. can someone please help...
[Fascinate Android Development] yuhang:
does the first step in the OP remove voodoo v2? Also, does the automatic uninstaller work with version before DIo1? such as DH12?
[Fascinate Android Development] caal920:
Looking for some very much appreciated help. Here's my story:

-Installed SC2.9 Voodoo after data/cache/dalvik wipe, applied Voodoo lagfix in red CWR, rebooted

-The phone started up with a black screen and vibrated every 30 seconds or so

-I waited 25 minutes but it never came up. so...

-I tried to disable voodoo in cwr, the phone did the same thing

-I tried to ODIN back the kernel, system, etc. No luck, I think it's because it's formatted as ext3 or stuck in-between.

-I tried to get into ADB to push your commands but was not able to get ADB to recognize the device. Drivers are installed, system detects device. Is there a certain mode I should have the phone in? I tried off/download/cwr...

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Found a different copy of the kernel and was able to ODIN back to life.
[Fascinate Android Development] Meatmuppet:
I have a few questions:

When I do the cat /sdcard/original.mbr > /dev/block/mmcblk0 in ADB, it just says what I just said again; is that alright? I have no idea if it did it; I said "adb shell (it found my phone i think), it gave me a # sign to enter after, and i said cat /sdcard/original.mbr > /dev/block/mmcblk0; it just repeated it, and brought me back to the number sign. The phone was on during this.

The most important problem is the fact that i CANNOT install a zip from the SD card through CWM. I try to, but it says:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. It was removed by google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to CWM 3.0 Gingerbread-based recovery. Please switch to Edifiy scripting to create working update .zip packages.

Please, I need help, for I cannot install any apps and my phone won't remember settings after boot (internal memory 0.00B)

Please Help me I have been trying to install a voodoo kernel and I think I have done something wrong. I'll try to be as detailed as possible.

I used the newbie guide to root my cellular south samsung galaxy showcase, install clockworkmod recovery image and was trying to install a voodoo kernel. When I got down to flashing the kernel it wouldn't work through cwm so i used sgs kernel flasher to flash the ec11 voodoo kernel. That went fine it flashed and rebooted but the orientation wasn't right so i flashed the 0123 fascinate voodoo 5 kernel but didn't disable the ec11 kernel first. The 0123 fascinate voodoo 5 kernel flashed successfully but when I tried to reboot it freezes on the Samsung screen. Then I tried to restore through cwm but to no avail. on the Android Recovery Screen I get:

E:Cant mount /dev/block/ stl11(or st111)

(Invalid argument)

E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(Invalid argument)

#MANUAL MODE#

Heimdall works but doesn't replace the movinand.bin file so the internal memory doesn't get re-formatted and partitioned. only other option may be to re-format using adb but not sure if that's possible.

I had some issues today and needed to remove Voodoo. After trying the auto-uninstaller, i got a black screen (after the VZW screen). I logged on to IRC and got help from Adrynalyne and Angel and found a way to manually get everything back to stock (with root and cwm still in tact). Originally we managed to get rid of the black screen, but then i was getting tons of FC's and was unable to do anything. Either way, follow the steps below to get it working again.

**ALL CREDIT GOES TO ADRYNALYNE AND ANGEL**

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE.

go on IRC for help!

Follow these instructions:

-Pull battery, hold voldown and plug phone into USB to get the big yellow triangle.

-Flash the PIT & System first

-Flash the Kernel second

info can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782204

Once done, get into CWM (hold both vol up and vol down and power phone on). This will get you into stock recovery (blue text). Just go to update zip, and it will bring you into CWM.

-Go to Mounts and storage

-Format System

-Format Data

-Format Cache

-Go Back

-Wipe Data

-Wipe Cache

-Reboot

Go back into stock recovery (blue text)

-Wipe Data

-Wipe Cache

Reboot, and go back into CWM and get into adb shell. Type the following commands without the quotes:

-"mount -t rfs -o nosuid,nodev,check=no /dev/block/stl10 /dbdata"

-"ls /dbdata"

-"rm -f /dbdata/*.*"

Reboot your phone, and you should be good to go.

After having some serious issues after trying to remove version 1 and install .2, I found this thread. I couldn't boot my phone up at all and I'm on vacation with no comp LOL. Luckily j brought my droid1 for my wife as an mp3 player. So after activating that I swapped sd cards, found this thread and dl'ed all zips. Swapped an cards back. First wiped everything then ran the uninstaller followed by flashing the cwmkernal.zip. then I was able to successfully restore a nandroid. Thanks so much for this stuff!
[Fascinate Android Development] SF49ers:
If this was done manually, does the dbdata still need to be wiped correctly?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Shouldnt need to the uninstaller should do it for you.

1.4 is online and needs testers.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Perhaps Im misunderstanding something from the OP.

Does your zip operate as a stand-alone, one stop solution or do you need those 6 steps in your OP?

Is this just a CWM zip? Im confused. Could this be run if someone has installed one of the OC Kernels with voodoo?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Instal via clockwork. Doesn't matter which kernel you have installed. Uninstaller should now perform all steps but needs testing.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Thanks I'll give it a DL and check it out

Does any have any problems when disabling lagfix some aftermarket calendar apps are missing??
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
For whatever reason, I've had nothing but trouble with applying lagfixes. The first time I was able to remove lagfix following these instructions. Then I decided to try installing one of diirk's lagfixes. After waiting 45 minutes for the reboot, I pulled the battery. The phone wouldn't boot, so I did the odin restore.

After restoring with odin, I don't have root. I keep trying the one-click root and it doesn't complete. When I try the first step of removing voodoo (which solved my problem last time - cat /sdcard/original.mbr > /dev/block/mmcblk0, I get permission denied (can't create mmcblk0 or something).

I'm also having the 0.0 memory problem.

Anyway, when I boot into Samsung Recovery, there's a message: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid Argument).

What would happen if I tried cat /sdcard/original.mbr > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1? I want to try it, but I'm afraid of bricking my phone somehow. Could this possibly be an issue?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Thats certainly part of your issue. You are still using the voodoo mbr.
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
OK, I tried but still getting "cannot create /dev/block/mmcblk0p1: permission denied." Is this because I don't have root? Is there any other way to restore the original.mbr?

Thanks for the reply, btw - I will definitely donate if you get me out of this jam.

EDIT: I just flashed CWM again and restored from a backup which should have root, so maybe I can try from there?

NOPE - just boots back into stock like a factory reset - every time I reboot the phone it asks me to set language, sync, etc.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Im about swamped with things going on irl, right now, so give me a brief synopsis of what you have done, what you did to correct it, and what you are currently left with.
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
Thanks, but I think I may have figured it out. There's still a good chance I'll be back, though.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Made it to step:

mount -t rfs -o nosuid,nodev,check=no /dev/block/stl10 /dbdata

Getting the response:

mount: Device or resource busy

Any ideas?

(I do have root explorer installed at this point as well...so I could possibly do this via that proggy??)

Edit: Got it! Killed Dbdata contents from Root Explorer, wiped data/cache and after this last boot/setup I can now boot it without it taking me into setup.

Steps I used that worked for me:

Used CWM to revert to my initial backup (with root)

Restored original mbr via adb

restored stock kernel via CWM.

Wiped data/cache

Booted, loaded root explorer (I had space available at this point)

Deleted contents of dbdata (One folder)

Rebooted into STOCK recovery and wiped data/cache one last time.

Bingo bango bongo. I think I am going to take a break from flashing kernel mods for a while. ;)

Thank you *so* much for this post. You're a lifesaver!
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
OK, so I made it back to where I need to be. I was wiping data/cache in Samsung when I had to be doing it in CWM. That cleared up the O.O problem, then I just restored to my saved backup and everything is pretty much hunky dory. I do have one question, though - it's not super urgent, but if you get a minute I would really appreciate some input.

After I was able to boot into a normally running UI, I did the cat command to replace voodoo with the original.mbr. I then tried installing the stock kernel through CWM, but it just froze up the phone again. I waited about an hour, but it never booted. So I restored again through odin, flashed CWM, wiped data/cleared cache, and then restored from backup.

Now I'm trying the last part of your walkthrough with /dbata, but getting nothing but errors:

C:\Users\admin\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# mkdir /dbdata

mkdir /dbdata

mkdir failed for /dbdata, File exists

# mount -t rfs -o nosuid,nodev,check=no /dev/block/st110 /dbdata

mount -t rfs -o nosuid,nodev,check=no /dev/block/st110 /dbdata

mount: No such file or directory

# rm -f /dbdata/*.*

rm -f /dbdata/*.*

rm failed for -f, No such file or directory

#

FWIW, I can access dbdata through root explorer. So what's my play here?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] evanl81:
I have one folder within dbdata, called databases. It seems to store info about a lot of different stock apps on my phone. Is it ok to delete it entirely? I don't see anything that seems to pertain to voodoo.

On a side note, I'm now 0/2 in the seemingly easy process (for everyone else) of applying a lagfix. Don't know why it won't work on my phone. Maybe I should just give it like an hour and a half to reboot?
[Fascinate Android Development] larry996:
For those in Voodoo HELL!

For those of you in voodoo hell, like me spent 3 hours searching forums because you want to revert back. Remember that once you install the voodoo lagfix, you can not restore, I mean it will but the voodoo fix will still apply on restore because it is part of MBR. Perhaps you may find that it restored but now when you try to use the market you get "zero" space remaining. That's because you loaded the stock kernel back on as well. Anyhow this is how I got it off for good.

-Make sure voodoolaxfix.zip is on your SD card as well as CW Recovery (update.zip)

-reboot phone in recovery both volume buttons held down with power

-apply update.zip that is your CW recovery mod - get you to Clockwork

-apply voodoolaxfix AGAIN!

-Let it boot up with lagfix again

-mount your SD card in windows with debug turned on

-open External SD on samsung, find voodoo folder.

-inside voodoo folder add a new folder call it: disable lagfix

-reboot phone

-it will take a while to revert back

-if you want it completely gone, use ODIN3 and flash VZW Kernel back under PDA section

Hope that helps, i never could get to adb shell and re-install MBR.

Is removing the lagfix as simple as restoring a clean nandroid backup? Reason I ask is cause i'm following the steps on the front page and i get stuck at the mkdir /dbdata section. I get a message saying "mkdir failed for /dbdata, File exists.

Nevertheless what i did next was totally my fault, basically i wiped and i got the force close problem, which i fixed by getting back into clockwork and flashing my stock nandroid.

Now I can download and install apps fine, my quadrant scores are back down to normal, but I wanna make sure that voodoo is completely off my phone.
