hi, i tried to search but got no luck, im going to flash back to stock eclair, downloaded everything necessarry (odin, rom and pit) but :
i saw somewhere that voodoo can cause a bootloop if i flash a rom with odin. im now using bionix 1.3.1.
what i did is disabled vooodoo lagfix on CWR, on voodoo control app, it says my phone does not have a kernell that suport voodoo features, so i think im good to go.
can i flash or i need to do anything else so nothing wrong happens?
downloaded voodoo toggle and turned it off, its trustable?
yes. before you flash back to stock make sure there's the disable voodoo file in your voodoo folder.

If I'm on eugenes ginger r2 with voodoo.... can I backup and flash to try nero v2 with voodoo and not disable?
I know what's safe, but I can't see where the problem would lie.
Also, check out Voodoo Toggle in the Market. Amazing app.
Well supercurio if I'm not mistaken mentioned that there its no need to disable it if you go from ext4 to ext4 supported kernel/rom combination. I might be wrong though. ODIN or alternative should always be ready.

I second that notion. I also read that you can go from one voodoo rom to another without disabling voodoo.
Cool. ended up disabling using that app just to be safe...and I didn't have the patience.

That is exactly right.
Worst-Case scenerio, the new rom doesnt have voodoo and you forget to disable,.... you'll get stuck at the boot, and then you will just use ODIN which will overwrite voodoo right?
Seems like there is no disadvantage to voodoo if that's the case.

As long as you can reliably get into the download mode if need be.
Also if you brick with voodoo don't you have to odin eugenes froyo that doesn't brick then odin to jfd?

^ really? Seems like any ODIN would work since it overwrites the system.

Actually sometimes ODIN Cannot always fix an EXT4 messup like voodoo when trying to flash a new rom, so just letting you know, it's happened to me.
BTW, I just went from Nero V1 JL4+voodoo to NeroV2+voodoo w/o disabling voodoo the whole flash took a little less than 3 minutes, and there are no bricks on my table

Thats because the newest version of nero is already written with voodoo. To those flashing other roms that are not written with the voodoo kernel and ext4 compatability, disable voodoo prior to flashing your new rom, or else be ready to spend some time with odin.

So Im thinking of flashing Nero V5. I flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 on stock 2.1
Should I just put the nero v5 on internal sd and use rom manager to install it or do I need to odin back to stock? I see a lot of people flashing roms without going back to stock 2.1. whats the catch?
Can I delete the Axura 22257 zip file (that i used to flash it to save space)? I don’t think I need to disable voodoo, do I?
Also, I think I need to wipe data and delete cache something like that… how and in which step do I do that?

To wipe, reboot into recovery and do it from there. Most ppl don't go back to stock but if your new rom is giving you weird problems then you will probably have to go back to stock then flash.
You can delete the zip files after flashing. Nero will automatically wipe during the install, so you don't need to worry about that. If you're running Voodoo recovery (Red text on black instead of green on black) then you won't need to disable voodoo lagfix to install.
I have the voodoo application installed that enables/disables it. Do I need to disable it?

Ok, So I flashed superclean 2.7 and it borked my phone. So I used Odin and the EB01 and PIT files mr.adrenalyne gave us as a fix for the situation. So after flashing via odin, I flashed CWR ALL tar file. Up until this everything worked great and I thought my ordeal was over. I opened root explorer and noticed a file called voodoo saved. So I booted into recovery and it went straight to red. Used to go to blue recovery then I would have to apply update.zip to red. So I checked the voodoo in recovery and it said lagfix and voodoo were both enabled. Im very puzzled by this and really only have 2 questions. How did I get voodoo and more importantly how do I get rid of it? As in total stock no traces of voodoo. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Whats up mike, I followed this method over at the AC forum, It doesnt work. After I disable lagfix and flash a new non voodoo kernel I then go into odin and flash back to stock EB01, boot, flash new CWM all and boom. Back to.voodoo enabled. I think im gonna have to format internal SD card to rid myself of this. Something is off and I cant seem to get of voodoo.

Try adrynalyne's 2.7 fix. There is a tar/odin in there that you should flash. It sounds like a dbdata issue.
After flashing the eb01 all in one, you can flash whatever rom you like.

it does work. you are missing something. if you flash nonvoodoo kernel and you can boot your phone then you dont have lag fix enabled. get quadrent from the market and run it. what is your score.
Ok I finally got it, I took a little trip over to the IRC, where one of the devs helped me figure it out. Turns out I must of picked up a corrupt file somewhere. Ive flashed my phone so many times since DL30 leak showed up I couldnt tell you where it came from, but no matter what I did or flashed I was still showing voodoo. To make a long story short I ended having to use heimdall to go back to the original build, the one before DI01. After that was done I was able to build my way back to EB01. Thanks for the help its all good now.

Running SC 2.8... did it by Odin to EB01, CWM from jt's thread, used CWM to flash the voodoo version of SC 2.8. Everything works great, except no voodoo. I go to CWM... it says current Voodoo lag fix satus as "disabled" next reboot "enabled". And yet it never changes no matter how many times I reboot.
Any ideas?
battled that for the last few days myself ... check out the new superclean thread ... Odin again (i know it sucks) , install newest super clean , then reflash the Voodoo EB01 kernel from that thread . Its the EB16 kernel that comes with the rom that isnt converting some phones .
Flash that eb01 kernel . did the trick for me after a fresh Odin and install of SC 2.8

Lucas.scott is right about the kernel in 2.8 not converting for most people and flashing the EB01 kernel on 2.8 might do the trick also. I found it was best for me to odin back to stock EB01, odin red recovery, flash 2.6v, enable voodoo then flash 2.8v with voodoo enabled. That way the conversion was done before moving to 2.8. I've done this several times because I keep trying different themes and setups. Give it shot.
Maybe I am retarded, but doesn't CWM Red always say "VooDoo disabled", "Next Boot enabled" on EB01, regardless of ROM/kernel? I swear I remember reading that. My CWM says that, and I KNOW my Voodoo is up and working great. Oh and I know about the EB16 not converting, I am strictly asking about CWM.
when i booted SC 2.8 it took like 15 seconds, and i didnt hear an andriod talking.. the phone runs great but quadrant around 950, it says VooDoo disabled", "Next Boot enabled" im just try n flash that kernal

Yeah, well, did you use the Eb01 kernel? The eb16 kernel will not convert with voodoo. Use the eb01 kernel, and re-do it. Voodoo WILL convert.
Thanks guys, I will give that a shot... hate to go through the whole shebang again... but then again... it's kinda fun.
I'll post results AFTER the con call I need the phone for in 30 mins
It does display disabled, enabled on next book for me in voodoo cwm. I found that voodoo was still enabled for me when I checked quadrant scored: 1499.

So do I need to re wipe n reflash the rom and the other kernal... Our can I just flash the kernal without wiping

Yep, that did the trick. I:
Odin'ed back to EB01 + CWM
Installed the EB01 Voodoo Kernel
Enabled Voodoo
Installed SC 2.8
Success!
I would like to restore my fascinate to stock and i have the red CWM Voodoo lagfix recovery 2.5.1
i've read some say this needs to be completely removed and others say just disabling voodoo is fine. So i'm not sure what to do?
this thread has instructions for restoring to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204 but the link to remove voodoo has it broken down into versions and i have no idea what version voodoo is on my phone?
Can someone point me in the right direction here? thanks!
When I was running on Superclean 2.9.2 and flashed back to EB01 stock, I was running on voodoo. After I flashed back it converted me to all the stock, including kernel which is nonvoodoo.
So in other words everything worked fine for me when I flashed to EB01 stock when I was running voodoo.

Its probably ok if you use a back to stock odin such as eb01 or di01, but say your running voodoo and you flash sc 2.92 in cw, which contains a non voodoo kernal... if you dont disable lagfix first youve got a brick... i just did it the other day. Wanted to get rid of a theme i was running, forgot i was on voodoo and reflashed sc... trouble, stuck on samsung logo, fixed it with the all in one eb01
