I just flashed Fusion 1.1 with Jac kernel.
I enabled ext2 lagfix, everything is working great.
Questions about backing this up or restoring.
1. Would i be able to do a nandroid backup while i have this ext2 lagfix enabled?
2. If i wanted to go back to a stock nandroid, i assume i would flash stock kernel and then flash the backup, but what happens to the ext2 lagfix?
3. If i wanted to flash a new bionix rom will I have to do anything special about the ext2 lagfix before flashing?
Just things running around in my head, i'm usually very careful and don't feel like using ODIN ever
Thanks for your time

1. Yes
2. You dont need to flash stock kernel/im PRETTY SURE lagfix will be gone unless it was flashed before creating that particular Nandroid backup...however, even if im wrong, nothing bad will happen to your phone, youll just still be running JAC and youd have to independently flash stock kernel
3. No
disclaimer - all of these answers are assuming you are running regular JAC, as opposed to JAC with Voodoo (not trying to insult you but i just have to make sure, you never know)
Great, thanks. Yup runing jac without voodoo

I noticed something since i updated to JI6 while using Clockwork recovery. while on JFD i was able to do a backup using the following steps:
HOW TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP *ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH A NEW ROM
1 - Open Rom Manager
2 - Click on Flash Clockwork Recovery (you can skip this if you have already flashed the recovery before)
3 - Click on "Reboot Into Recovery"
4 - At the prompt, click "ok" to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
5 - If this is your first time, you may be at the stock recovery on the Vibrant. Thats normal. Click on "reinstall packages" (ALSO: Volume up and down navigate, and power is used to select an item).
6 - Now, you are at ClockworkMod's Recovery. Scroll down (volume down), to "Nandroid" and select it (power button).
7 - Click on Backup. It will run it's course. After it finishes just reboot.
8 - You now have something you can always fall back on in case you F up. Thank Koush and all the testers.
Now when i tried to do a backup on JI6 i no longer see Nandriod option all i see is "backup and restore". is this normal? has anyone else noticed this? will impact the backup/restore process?
That might not be a JI6 thing. Koush just updated rom manager. Thats most likely the reason.

clockworkmod 2.5.1.2
when i select "check for rom updates" it says that i am not set for OTA and i need to contact dev.
Your all good bro! Thats the same version Im running and I just checked, I dont have NANDROID anymore either. That was all part of the recent update I guess.
As for the second question, ROM updates is talking about the actual ROM the phone runs off of, You know like ECLAIR 2.1, or Eugenes or Sombionix's roms. Not the ROM manager APP. The APP will let you know when it needs to be updated, it checks what version you are running versus what the latest version availible is everytime you open it.

what about flashing to a old clockworkmod? or is there no need to? i just want to make sure that when i backup i will not have any issues if i need to restore..
one more Q. any particular way to name the backups? i know there is not that much room to be specific with the name.

well answer my own question, i reflashed clockwork to 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.0 and the nandroid option still does not come up only "backup & restore"....
anyone on the best way to name your backups? not that much room to be specific.
if you choose to back up from ROM manager you can name it whatever you want. Just go into Rom manager, tap backup current rom, when the little box pops up click it and change the name to whatever you want. It will automatically boot into clockwork mod and take care of the back up for you. let it finish, patience is critical whenever flashing anything or backing anything up. And your done. You will now have a complete backup you can use when the going gets tough. Are you running a stock vibrant?

Dont worry, you wont screw anything up, all four of those choices wipe everything and flash a kernel. My suggestion is to flash bionix1.9.1 with JAC's OC/UV kernal. its pretty sweet. Stay away from voodoo right now. No offense, but your not ready yet. VOODOO really can F*%k your stuff up if you dont disable it before flashing other stuff. Trust me, once you start flashing you will never be happy! LOL Thats how i started.
The best thing you can do is read read read. Then when you think your ready, READ some more. If you ever need help feel free to pm me. Im always on. Sorry I didnt even look at your sig. And HAPPY FLASHING BRO!

so if i flash bionix 1.9.1 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel, i can go back to what i have now after i back it up? and could i use oneclicklagfix with it? any diff from voodoo to oneclick? and i am sure i need to disable oneclick before i flash.

No need to disable lagfix it will get wiped and reformatted. However I did see a way to do it, but i dont use them so i dont know how its done. The whole point of backing up is so you can get back to where you were in case something goes wrong or yu dont like what you see. As far as one click lag fix (OCLF) and voodoo go, its like night and day. VOODOO is INSANELY fast. ALL THE TIME. but they are truely different approaches at the same goal. But for now i reccomend you stay away from voodoo.

No problem. Im here to help when i can.
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 I was running Nero v.1 and decided to try out Nero v.3
I made a nandroid backup before flashing nero 3. After flashing, I decided to restore my backup.
After restoring though, my phone would frequently freeze at the lock screen or during an app and I would have to pull the battery to reset.
I checked out recovery mode and it seems the clockwork recovery had "voodoo" options, which I did not have before. Is there something about voodoo that's causing my phone to freeze/lock up? Man I really hope I can reverse the damage.
Nandroid restore doesn't restore kernels (voodoo) so your voodoo carried on to your restore. Undo any lag fix you have, reboot and see if things boot properly, then reflash a new ROM and start from scratch. Or you could Odin to stock, but I try to avoid that.

ugh I don't have access to ODIN since I'm using a family macbook right now, so my nandroid backup was basically pointless then? :\
I have disabled voodoo lagfix and /system lagfix, however my phone is still freezing!
are both of these supposed to be disabled before I do a nandroid backup/restore?
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?

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.
