been searching last 2 hours to no avail..
I appreciate any feedback cause I cant seen to get this.
Started with stock rom, un-rooted.
Installed rom manager per bionix instructions..
Downloaded bionix191_stock.zip
Saved to root sd card.
Selected "Install rom from sd card"
Informed me to unroot.
installed ryanZA's oclf from the market to root.
Re-ran rom manager.
Selected again "Install rom from sd card"
Selected wipe data and cache
Reboot process begins.
stops at "update.zip (bad) error.
What am I doing wrong?
try redownloading it.
Thanks for the reply...
I already tried downloading the zip again.
The zip file matches the proper size from
The link as stated on the install info...
I have the copy on my sd card in the root folder
as well as my download folder.
do I have to do something in the OCLF app?
try rooting withouth OCLF, using a normal update.zip
also, did you rename the bionix file?
I didn't know I had to rename the zip.
What do I rename it to?
The rom manager wouldn't run without a root,
so I had to use oclf first...
do I have to odin back to stock to install bionix?
no, dont rename it. this is what I did.
1. Odin to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
2. install the update.zip from stock recovery
3. use market to download ROM manager
4. use ROM manager to reboot into recovery (do not use install rom from SD card)
5. you may need to use stock recovery to reinstall packages
6. in clockwork, install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard
8. choose your bionix version
9. install
10. reboot twice
thx Brian, worked perfectly. You are a friend an a scholar!
I installed Bionix 1.9.1 Voodoo (OC/UV/Voodoo Kernel)
Benchmarked at 1878
installed OCLF right after..but the 2.1 & 2.2 lagfixes are unavailable...
Trying to fig out how to install OCLF on top of voodoo?
You don't use both the OCLF and Voodoo at the same. Voodoo requires a bit more reading comprehension and user ability than OCLF. For people that want a LagFix without the hassle of Disabling/Enabling Voodoo every time you reflash; OCLF is for you.
I'm on Bionix 1.9.1 with JACs OC/UV Kernel and no Voodoo (don't really feel the need) and I used OCLF to root way back when I had stock TWiz.
Glad you got it working and from here on out if you flash any of the prominent ROMs available you don't have to revert to stock as most of them wipe clean as part of their script. Just boot into ClockWork recovery, install zip from SD and find whichever ROM you want.
Oh and always nandroid before flashing a new ROM and use Titanium Backup to back up your apps and such.
I actually do not use the voodoo lagfix, because you have to disable it every time you want to flash something. I have had to repartition my phone so many times because of it I finally just stopped using it. Bionix is so fast I don't really see a need for the lagfix anyway.

I second this post. Bionix is fast enough comming from Stock. I do not think I need the lag fix.
Fusion is even better now!!!

Sorry if this has been answered (I know its frowned upon), but I'm a bit pressed for time. I installed Voodoo V3 a little while back on JFD, but disabled it for JI6 using the 'disable lagfix' file in Voodoo folder method.
Last night, I flashed Obsidian v3 with VooDoo, but the new version will not install (I'm assuming that Voodoo was not completely uninstalled), and I can't use any of the OCLF methods pre-installed with the ROM (says: You already appear to have another lag fix intalled! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5kb).
I am still running Obsidian v3.
I'd appreciate the help and a walkthrough if possible!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
Try to flash sombionix voodoo disable.zip file into clockwork recovery. You should hear voice now converting to rfs. Once done, and it boots up. Go back to clockworkmod, flash another rom without voodoo. Than you should be okay from there on.

Flashing the disable_lagfix.zip simply places a disable lagfix file in the voodoo directory (i think). I had that done before I flashed JI6 and obsidian...and the issue never went away.
Look in files folder, you see anything labeled voodoo?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Create disable-voodoo empty text file but save as disable-voodoo file and place it in your voodoo folder and reboot. See what happens.

at the root of my internal SD is the Voodoo folder. Within it is a folder labeled logs, and also the disable_lagfix file i put in there to disable it. However, if i delete this folder, Voodoo will reinstall itself automatically when i reboot.
when i place the disable_lagfix file within that directory...it disables Voodoo, but does not completely rid the system of it. When I installed Obsidian v3 with Voodoo, it did not install the new version of VooDoo because the old one still existed. Also, OCLF also will not install and i think its also because of this.
Try pushing the disable voodoo via adb.

Or try to to do a factory restore first from clockwork. See what hapoens. I had that same issue too while back.

Swing by the project-voodoo dot org site and go to documentation (i would give you a link if i could post one but...). Follow the first set of instructions on there and you'll get voodoo out in no time. Now, I'm not entirely sure if the vibrant devs accept this as the proper method of removal for our phones but I just tried this a couple of nights ago to get Soniqu3's theme on Onyx R4. Hope this helps.
Use terminal emulator and type mount. If it says data/ rfs in there, voodoo is disabled. Are you using the oclf included in the rom? Sombionix said the one in the market will not work.
Last option for you. Do this...

Its the same thing oclf does, just not one click.

I used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
And it worked for rooting my TELUS Fasinate with the JL3 Froyo leak! Worked like a charm! Thanks to CLShortFuse!
Gonna try right now...wish me luck!
EDIT! WORKS!!!! I HAVE SU!! Didn't do anything exect follow the steps on the video! Click start and your phone will be rooted!
I wonder if we need to install busybox? I'll search the one-click thread and see if we need it.
Hmmm...Dave are you having any problems with root access? I installed rom manager and clockwork, but it won't boot into custom recovery, it says "signature verification failed", so no clockwork, also, I have root explorer, and I moved a bunch of bloat to a junk folder on the internal sd card, but they are still in the system/app folder! Even if i choose delete, root explorer will delete the app but as soon as you refresh the folder they are still there...
EDIT: Figured out ROOT EXPLORER problem, just had to close and restart ROOT EXPLORER, and now my bloat is moved to a junk folder in the sd card!! ALso I was able to disable the stupid boot and shutdown sounds!

It's nothing to do with the Root. Froyo requires a signed .zip or it won't install. We need the stock kernel modded!
I was wondering if it's possible when we have the stock kernel to flash the CM one, install CWR, then flash the stock one back. Would that keep root and CWR working?

I don't think that would work, the stock kernel once flashed overtop of the modded kernel would reset the setting back to "no unsigned zips" so then CWR would not work, well technically it works but we can't get there.
We simply (well, on second thought, maybe not so simply) need to mod the stock kernel, then we can have a custom recovery and even maybe OC/UV with set CPU (if someone can mod the stock kernel) Thanks again Dave, 2.2 is working great, and with root access now I have no bloat, no stupid boot sounds, and the phone fast and stable and also looks great with Launcher pro and beautiful widgets.
My Desire is going on ebay pretty soon...
PS - the genie widget that would FC was for 2.1, I found a genie widget that was for 2.2 and works great.
This is awesome! Adfree working now with the full javascript capabilities of froyo, very, very nice work everyone! I had a few issues at first because I was messing around with other various root methods. After a fresh flash of stock 2.2 thru odin, and rooting first thing using one-click method above, fixed all my issues. I noticed crazy keyboard lag after rooting but a quick reset of the device fixed that. Finally this device is at the level I had in mind when I bought it! We just need to oc/uv the stock kernel now and judging by the uv capabilities in other galaxy s handsets I think we have ourselves a winner!!!!!!
I'm still learning so this might be a dumb question.....
I've read a few how tos on signing the update.zip. can't I just take the file cwr makes and sign it?

Hell it's worth a shot, right? Be careful, it would seem nothing really bad can happen, but even if it does, you have the files to flash back to stock anyways.
Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.
I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.
I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.
Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?
Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.
I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.
Thanks
EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.

The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.

Im telling you!, its less the hassle and way easier to do it through Clockwork Mod

Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.
Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.
Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.
thanks guys. just flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 ROM without any hiccups for the first time
Now need to restore apps and settings
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?

Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.
Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)
Yes i was on 2.1. I read your post after i had started restoring all apps and data. i turned off my phone when i read this post. how can i get my data stored if not settings?

You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.
But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
Two things from my experience.
1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.
Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.
2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.
Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.
You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.
Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).
So i keep on getting this error when i'm trying to flash clockwork recovery. I'm on stock btw.
"Error while download from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!"
I have a stable connection and my SD card is fine. So can anyone lend me the update.zip of the clockwork recovery?
found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893824
geez. Thanks man!
I had the same problem and installed the update.zip as per the instructions, but ROM manager will not detect that Clockwork recovery is installed and will not let me install a ROM. What can be done in this case? Clockwork recovery is correctly installed and works when I go into recovery mode. I am on stock Eclair 2.1.29 JFD.
If you can get to recovery by normal means you can flash any rom you want aslong as that update has been installed. Thats what I did. btw rom mananger was down thats why it was acting funny.
I see. So I can just boot into Clockwork Recovery and select "Install from zip" and that will start the ROM installation?
Thanks.
Once that update.zip has been installed It should take you to the green clockwork mod recovery.
You can then find the option that says install zip from sd. It will let you pick any zip file
For instance I Have bionix v.zip on my sd card in a folder called zip. I will navigate to that folder and select that zip file then confirm the flash.
Awesome! Thanks man, got it to work too! Was freaking out last night haha.
I was also. Just a quick note If you keep that zip file on the root of your internal sd card You can always flash that and it will give you access to the green recovery menu. I do that Now instead of installing the root update. Then I can automatically flash any rom I want.
Yeah, problem is I got wiped so my files and I didn't backed up that .zip. I thought there was something wrong with my phone.

Okay I rooted my phone with the one click root. I saw it installed busybox, have no idea what that is. Now I wanna install supercurio's ka6 build with voodoo, so my phone doesnt lag. What are the proper steps to load it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
wow! there should be a tutorial somewhere here, try the stickies. Basically your first step is to get rom manager from the market, open it then click on Flash Clockwork mod then pick vibrant. Next step is to pick a rom of your choice, I would try Bionix 1.2.1., d/l the zip file and transfer it to your internal sd card (do not extract). After thats done open rom manager again click on reboot into recovery. If the recovery is not in green letters choose install packages. When you have the green recovery choose back up and restore then back up. after thats done next choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card, then click on the zip file, then scroll down to install, let it do its thing and reboot. If you want to back up your apps then get the paid version of Titanium back up or don't. Good luck!
