Kick back to your nand, delete the rom and gapps, redownload them and reflash. It's possible that you just got a bad dl of one or the other. Make sure you wipe data and dalvik. :) I had this issue once, banged my head on the wall and just decided to get rid of it all and try again.

this happened to me - I can get into the phone but nothing works - just blank screen with that error coming up frist - tried erasing everything, wipe dalvik cache, user cache, factory reset, etc. - then tried reflashing rom via CWM - still nothing works - my home and back buttons are also gone

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] siccness:
anyone know?
[Fascinate General] Smitty9803:
Here's a quick rundown. Sunday I rooted, installed cwmrecovery, and installed jt's 1200 voodoo kernal. Through the process, I have downloaded ROM manager, Root explorer, SetCPU, and Titanium backup.

I've done all the basics such as renaming bloatware, installing enhanced google search, ran a full titanium backup, and used SetCPU to OC to 1.2. I'm happy to say everything is running at 100%. Haven't had a single problem since modding everything.

Since doing this, I've read that I should have ran a nandroid backup before flashing voodoo in case anything goes wrong...unfortunately the instructions I followed did not include this. Because everything's working so well for me, I really don't want to screw anything up. I'm pretty sure I know how to do this I just want to list my steps and make sure they're right before attempting.

1. disable lag fix

2. reboot

3. boot into recovery mode from ROM manager

4. create a backup? (not sure what the CWMrecovery command is)

5. reboot

6. undo disable lag fix (re-enable lag fix)

7. reboot and pray everything continues to run smoothly

Does this sound about right?
[Fascinate General] bomber889:
that sounds right
[Fascinate General] ktez:
Let me know how this works for you and exactly how you did it. This is what I was trying to do and when I rebooted after doing the disable/lagfix, everything was gone and i had no Google sign in, no market, and no keyboard. Still trying to figure out where i went wrong......
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
Your steps look fine.. Make sure #2 is a full reboot.. Don't just disable and then directly reboot into CWM, that won't work.

For some people it works easy as pie, for others, it blows stuff up. Not sure what to tell you.. You're taking your chances either way.. Either something will crash down the line and you'll have no backup, or you disable voodoo and take the risk of that blowing you up, and obviously you have no backup.

I think I would just go ahead and try the uninstall, you should always have at least a basic backup to work from. You might get lucky and just have it work the way it should.

Before you do anything though, I highly recommend installing and running Titanium Root, that will back up your applications, so even if things blow up on you, you can at least do a quick one-touch restore of the apps once your back to stock.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
Glad to see I'm not the only one in this boat. I have rooted, cwm, and have OC kernal with 0.2 voodoo. I never backed anything up though... :(

I may try and follow in your path.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
Ok, I felt confident and jumped head first into this because I really wanted to back my phone up with nandroid, so I went for it. After I disabled lagifx, my phone had an emotional breakdown. I attempted to backup with nandroid and I believe it failed, it said "Null" and did nothing. I pulled the battery after about 15 minutes and restarted my phone. Deleted the disable_lagfix file I had created and rebooted my phone. It did the voice and all that fun stuff and froze with the words "Samsung" on the screen. I think I may have made a super boo boo some where along the way.

If anyone knows what I should do now, please help. I'm in over my head for the most part. :(
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Can you get into CWM?
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
Yep, sounds like a pretty standard voodoo uninstall explosion. Happened to me as well.

See the thread "How to completely remove Voodoo". I'd recommend reading it all the way first, then trying it. There's some useful stuff later on.

If you can't get into CWM recovery at all, use odin and re-flash the CWM.tar file in the general CWM recovery thread here. Make sure when using odin you always, always use the "pda" box. Never use the "phone" box or else it's brick city.
[Fascinate General] starscream84:
Did you boot into recovery as soon as you disabled_lagfix or create the file, reboot, and let the phone completley boot up and then reboot into recovery?
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
OK, after my phone got stuck on the Samsung start up screen I pulled the battery and restarted. This time it actually restarted wit my the voice and I had my boot animation from the 1200 oc kernal/voodoo lagfix I had installed. It worked fine but I had to go through the set up for my phone and resign into my Google account. All my apps were gone and I've lost root. I tried to re-root but when I open adb I get the # sign instead of $... I tried to use the one click root but it didn't recognized my phone. Adb does recognize my phone though.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
I can get into cwm... I just can't re-root my phone. It appears everything is fine beyond that.

EDIT: After a while of trying I finally figured out that I was able to use Adb, I just don't know what I'm doing most of the time. ADB and now I have my root back. The one click root did not work, but manually everything went ok. :P I still have voodoo and OC kernal, but eh, better than nothing at this point. I wanted to be able to created a nandroid back up... I still have yet to accomplish this, LOL, I may give it another try further down the road.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me! :P
[Fascinate General] Smitty9803:
Wow...not sure if I want to try this or not now.

Has anyone done this SUCCESSFULLY?

So let's say I decide not to create a nandroid and leave my phone the way it is now...what's the worst that could happen? I have all my apps backed up through titanium backup.
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
It may work for you. Voodoo is weird from what I've read, for some it's fine and others not so much. I had a flurry of problems after disabling the lagfix and I almost felt like it wasn't worth it. Also, after finally getting my root back my accelerometer stopped working and I had to completely remove Voodoo and then re-flash back to voodoo to get it to work agian. I forgot to backup with nandroid again.... :? If you are going to try it, I would say completely remove voodoo via the uninstaller and then backup, because its hell if voodoo decides to go bipolar on your phone. You may lose all your data and root like I did. Who knows when it comes to voodoo?

I'm leaving mine as is and may backup with nandroid later. If you go for it, good luck.
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Between Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro (seems to handle things like the call log and sms/mms messages a little better, at least for me), I haven't used a Nandroid in a couple of weeks.

It's actually a pretty nice, streamlined process:

-Run the backups

-Do whatever hacky thing I'm doing

-Wipe data

-Sign in to Google and download Titanium from the market

-Restore apps with Titanium, then data with MB Pro.

-Fix any funny widgets

-Enjoy!
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
I just created my nandroid backup! :P I chose to uninstall Voodoo then re-root my phone instead of just disabling voodoo. I haven't put voodoo back on yet, but I probably will. Not with the OC kernal because none of them are stable enough IMO. When I used the OC lagfix my phone would always freeze up when I did anything extensive. Google Earth for example, would cause it freeze up. Oh well, hopefully someone will come up with a good OC, and I'll be happy to donate to them for their hard work.

Seriously, I think you should just uninstall and create a backup. Then reinstall voodoo for that sweet Quadrant score. :P LOL
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Respectfully, the kernels are fine. Different processors handle the same kernels differently. Most kernel threads have several different versions partly because of this. For instance, My GFs phone will run Dirks UC/OC well, without issue, but mine occasionally borked when I tried it, so I use JT's. You will see this effect more pronounced on boards for devices with many different kernels available.

Always a good idea to try each version of each kernel for a bit to see how you do.
[Fascinate General] cableguy1:
Wow, I forgot about removing voodoo before doing nandroid backup / restore. I've done 2 backups and 1 restore without issue. Did I just get lucky? Man there's a lot of stuff to keep track of here!
[Fascinate General] Smitty9803:
I like the sound of this! But I have a question...I looked into the MBPro and supposedly it backs up all of your apps along with your data/personal settings. If that's the case, why use titanium backup?
[Fascinate General] PCDEC:
I installed Cognition 2.2 beta 9(with voodoo) and got my phone all set up and did a nandroid backup without disabling voodoo. I never thought to disable it and the backup worked fine. Now today I restored the backup and forgot about disabling voodoo and it worked but I didn't have any of my apps or the market, and I realized it was probably because I never disabled voodoo. So I disabled voodoo and restored the backup again and it worked perfectly.

So I don't think you need to disable voodoo to do a nandroid backup; just to restore one.

I haven't re-enabled voodoo yet. Battery needs to charge a bit.
[Fascinate General] cableguy1:
I've done backup and restore without disabling voodoo, because I forgot. It worked fine though. Now that I have read about issues with disabling voodoo I am kinda nervous to to even try it.

What do you think I should do in the future?

Thanx, you guys rock for making our phones faster and better...

Hi, is anywhere guide for developing.. i want dev too but i dont know how
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
What you want to develop? Kernel? System? Both?

on which host (Win/Linux/Mac)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] rollride:
i want to dev too

i want do dev both kernel and system on windows ... so any advices? and thank you in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
(EX/OR)

i want to develop both but maybe ony system. because when i wil dev kernel, i will can brake my phone

and im on win exactly win7. but on Notebook i have linux.. so its Win or Lin

And im think it will be better with guide.. Later can be more developers and it is better because updates release frequently
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
It is possible to put together a build using windows, but for serious development work you will need a Linux system for compiling, building from an already developed base only requires a good text editor, ( not notepad), and 7zip really.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
so i need only good text editor? and source data.. its all?

and what sam knowledge of C/+/++/# Java.. nothing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
C for kernel

java for system

linux for both

Develop on windows is quite painful and on mac there are some problem with libs.

The only good system for fast develop is linux. Use a virtual system and setup a simple virtual machine with linux.

Then follow the fresh froyo thread to compile the first time (a lot of time).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ppelleg2003:
Hi Michga,

have you development knowledge in any environment?

Are you for the first time approaching software developing?

Obviously you need programming language knowledge if you want to develop software (every kind of software: applications, utilities, system tools, kernel and so on)

moreafter, if you mind developing operating system's module (kernel, drivers and so on) you need deep understanding of general operating systems mechanisms in addition to specific knowledge about the OS you are developing for.

If this is your first step in software developing, I can suggest you try little application first, then step to system programming...

As a software is made up of simple text, as Zenity said, what you need is AT LEAST a good text editor and this is correct if you plan to write or modify simple pieces of software but if you mind to develop something more, a software developing environment maybe a better choice.

More, have a look at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html where you can find the SDK toolkit for Android.

Sorry not being more helpful: I'm a software developer but don't develop for Android yet... (Time... Time... Time... :( )

See you

If you download he Cyanogenmod nightly roms they have exactly the feature you're looking for built right in :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
i think the OP is asking for that feature...in an apk that he can install on his current (non-CM6 rom).

to the OP, i do not think that's doable. i haven't look at how the CM6 nightlies do it, but i would assume that's in the framework. so you would nee to change the framework-res.apk and probably other files along with it.

i hope i'm wrong, 'cause i'd be interested too:)

3. can not connect to other device via bluetooth

4. can not connect to wifi.

5. can not use gps.

[Galaxy Spica General] viz1977:
download files from samfirmwares and install using odin. you will loose all data, so ensure to backup first. good luck.
[Galaxy Spica General] Tehloy:
Apply the samdroid kitchen via recovery. 2.1 should be reinstalled.

And clear data/cache, which will reset your data.
[Galaxy Spica General] gen_scheisskopf:
If you can install samdroid kitchen via recovery- do it.

If not- install LK2.08 rooting package using Odin and then it will be possible to apply samdroid kitchen

Remember to wipe data/cache after 2.1 installation

Ok, so that's because you are in stock recovery and not clockwork mod...use odin to reflash cwm. The error shows that the update.zip is not on the card...and you must leave it there and not touch it at all. :)
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
If I was on my PC I would post link. Koush has a index of recoveries and a fascinate.zip. hold you can rename it update. Put it on the root of ur SD, then when u go into recovery 2 e hit apply update.zip and go into clockwork and wipe data/cache

if you have windows vista or windows 7, find the fascinate.zip recovery and rename it update only. then put it on the root of your sd card, in other word the first screen you come to when you mount your sd, and not in any folder. here ya go, and dont forget what i already suggested you do in recoery 2e

Can I assume you do have the correct drivers for the phone installed on your pc?
[Fascinate General] ludionis:
Been there, done that...

Having had to use the odin files twice to recover my phone, I will confirm you *MUST* have the correct Fascinate drivers downloaded/installed for this to work. Go ahead and download all the Odin recovery files and save to a location on your computer (just in case) and I also downloaded the Odin .exe and saved it to pc as well. Pull battery on phone, and reinsert but do not power phone on. Hold Power UP and plug powered-off phone into USB cable, should return a yellow triangle with a droid shoveling. Open Odin, and your device should show as a yellow block in the first slot for devices. Now, click on PDA button, and choose the "System" recovery file FIRST! It'll take a couple of minutes, phone will reset. If this doesn't fix it, begin using Odin to flash the other files one at a time, testing device between. It may take a few tries, but be reassured, this *CAN* and *WILL* fix the phone if used properly.

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but Titanium Backup (free) won't uninstall these apps for me. Something about not being able to locate the .apk file...

[General Questions and Answers] Alatus185:
I haven't been able to find anyone else having this issue so I must have messed something up.

My problem is with the default text messaging app on android. I have the fascinate with the latest update. I have rooted my phone and debinged/lagfixed. I'd rather not do another factory reset but I can if I have to. The issue if I go to compose a new text message and choose the contact(lets say the name is Jane) Jane shows up in the drop down list as I type the name I select the name and type out a message and send it. Now when I go back to the lists of conversations only the phone# for that contact is listed and not the name. This is pretty annoying since so far it is only happening with a couple of the people I talk to the most and not others. Any ideas?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
I bought a captivate 3 days ago (in Canada), and I had previously an HTC magic and did tons of tinkering (G1/MT3G have serious development.. kinda dying down sadly.. :()

Obviously, I started looking into rooting captivate as well, and other stuff. Just wanted to ask people stuff if I can get them answered.

What is the purpose of ODIN other than flashing your phone back to stock? It is a great program, but I am used to just wiping data and flashing a new update.zip from recovery to get a flash a new ROM. Not wiping from 2.1 eclair to get to cognition kind of threw me off. Can I not use ODIN and go the traditional way and flash the update.zip's?

Also, from ODIN, what exactly is master clear? Does it wipe off everything in the phone? Why would this be preferred over a factory reset from recovery?

I tried googling/looking through captivate dev and couldn't find the answers. Thank you!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Odin is a windows program leaked from samsung for flashing the galaxy s phone - can be used to flash kernel, firmware or modem or all three at once - NOT used to flash update.zip

Odin 3 one click is for flashing back to stock was made available by dg as a simple recovery method in case of a soft bricked phone or if you flashed your phone and wanted to get back to stock.

Master clear in odin wipes all or most all the data from your internal sd card - I believe factory reset just wipes user settings, cache and account info

with samsung update.zip are flashed via recovery as I am guessing is nearly the same way you have done on other phones

As you can tell there are multiple methods for flashing, spend time reading and learning about them until you have a good understanding about what you are doing with each

Of by the way there is also rom manager clockwork recovery (can get rom manager from the market and install once you are rooted) - don't get this confused with stock recovery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
So I'm understanding master clear doesn't wipe the actual ROM? Wouldn't master clear just be the same as just deleting all the stuff from the internal sd card via my laptop?

And thanks for your answers :D I never used clockwork till now, was using amon_RA recovery cuz it gave some problems to G1/MT3G users but it seems to work wonders on captivate.
