[Q] re-enable Voodoo? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed "bionix19_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO.zip" and I want to use the Project Core. So I downloaded the "disable-voodoo" and flashed that too.
I opened up adb shell prior to flashing the disable and found "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", meaning Voodoo is enabled.
I flashed the disable and ran the shell again to find "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", meaning Voodoo is disabled. Linda tells me that things are being changed back during the reboot.
Then I flashed the Core, ran the shell, still seeing "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2". Then I went to the SD card and deleted the disable key file. Rebooted. Opened the shell and "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" is still there.
What am I missing? Should I just use SetCPU and ditch the Core idea?
Thanks for any help and I have been google-ing and forum searching for quite awhile now.

Voodoo is not suppored in the Core project....and was this really worth making it's own thread in the wrong forum?

Which forum should I post this in?

I get it... Q&A... different forum. Don't worry, I found it. I'm so sorry I posted in the wrong forum.
What I don't know how to do is get rid of this thread. All I found was a thread requesting the ability to delete your own thread.
Ohh Boy is right... How dare some new guy post in the incorrect forum on his first post.

"Ohh Boy is right... How dare some new guy post in the incorrect forum on his first post."
It happens. They should make it a requirement to read all stickies (with Van Halen clause).

What are stickies?

Threads at the top of each forum that never down down the list in time. You will see a little thumbtack next to it.
It usually contains rules, guidelines, and FAQ's

Thanks for giving me a real answer. I was being wise ass and you gave me a genuine answer. For that I am sorry. I do know what stickies are but I didn't read them and now after reading them I can see why people like me can be irritating. Lesson learned. I also PM'd the moderator to remove this thread. (I learned that by reading the stickies) Double Lesson all the way. I'll be creepin' in Q&A, where I belong.

[Q] Update.zip CWM for 2E

Simple enough mistake, haven't done it in awhile. Can someone post the zip for CWM for 2E. My ROM manager doesn't want to flash it to my sd and somehow I deleted it. Epic fail on my part but hey, it happens to us all sooner or later.
I'm also aware this should probably be in Q&A but in this section lets face it we nandroid all the time so it will be easy and hopefully quick to get some help and what I need in this section.
If you looked in the Q&A thread (or searced) you would have found the solution is already there....

Yeah I did search and looked in q&a, must have missed it. Luckly I saved a backup of the zip on another place on my sd. But hey, thanks for your awesome comment, link, and help. Oh wait, you didn't do any of that did you other than search q&a. Keep making the worse assumptions about people. Shows YOUR best qualities.

I wish to root my THUNDERBOLT after last night's gb update. Where do I look?

As the title states. Can I root my phone going off of last night's update? If so, where should I look?
Thanks!
Check the Q/A thread at the top of this subforum. It should have info regarding Revolutionary that should work for you, I believe.
I will never understand why people wait on OTAs and THEN want to root. I can't think of a time when an OTA ever made it easier since exploits are "usually" removed/patched. Add that to the fact that the user could have rooted by an already known working method prior to an OTA and still flashed a leak of the official release before it was ever even pushed out. I suppose it makes sense for someone that just bought their phone but otherwise :shrug:
Yes, the Revolutionary tool should work just fine. http://revolutionary.io/

This is easily the most unnecessary thread I've seen in a LONG time. You had to look right at a number of stickied threads that would have answered this question.
Revolutionary does work after the GB update, I rooted my Thunderbolt yesterday, S-off,
DL Recovery, flashed the SU zip file. Took all but 10 minutes. Working great.
Someone should try and count up the number of "I updated to GB and want to know how to root" threads

Yeah, I thought about that. But, I'd like to point out that using the search feature isn't optional, it's kinda in the rules and demanded.
If you took the time to type out those replies, you might as well have just searched this forum yourself and posted the link, as well as telling them what they should do in the future. Swfreak wins this round. Then have the thread closed.

1st post by this member and more helpful than many other members around here...
i understand forums have these search options and stickies and what not but reality is... most people don't/forget/not aware/don't care that the answer is around here somewhere even if it's right in front of them.
In fact 99% of the time any question that is asked the answer lays somewhere in this forum. so what? what's another thread that was posted in the correct sub-forum called "Thunderbolt Q&A".
Hell what's the point of this sub-forum anyways if members are not gonna give answers but DIY smart ass remarks.
at least he knew enough to post the question in the right sub forum, lol.
btw, how is the new ota? i dont know if im going to try it.

uh....... The link is in my sig!!!! Just me posting 10 characters answers the question!!!!
I always wondered why there are two sub-forums, Q&A and General. Then I looked closer and the one is for "questions" (and answers obviously) and the other is for discussion.... So, there should be NO questions in the General forum, right ?
Kinda silly, methinks. Combine 'em into one, I say.

Amen. I hope that's not trolling. I am sort of new to this posting thing Don;t know if this is the right forum, but I appreciate the help you all give to us new guys. I do agree about the "search" thing though.
Thanks and my 2 cents
Thanks for the info. I did use search to find my answer, and that's what I got. Let me first say that I am very appreciative of all of the time you guys spend here helping out the less knowledgeable. Now for the other...
You guys are obviously here to gain info and to give...right?
So I don't understand why so many of you insist on bashing newbies when they don't do things exactly right. I would just like to remind you that at one time you were also a newbie, and probably did not post in the right forum or just maybe posted a question that had already been asked! Let's take what our mother's taught us..."If you don't have anything nice to say," you now the rest...
I know that I have been reading these forums and have spent hours and hours trying to find the answers I was/am looking for. And sometimes I just want a direct answer to my specific question...though I dare not post a question fearing that I get flamed because it *may* be posted elsewhere...
In closing, please just try to be nice...it's not the end of the world if there is more than one place the same question is answered. Just reply with the link, and maybe the person will realize to do a search for his next question...
Thanks for listening... and please, don't flame me

SGS2 ATT Official Stock ROM 2.3.4

Hi,
I have been searching the forum for ATT Official 2.3.4 stock ROM. I am new to Android and planning to put in a Custom ROM in my SGS2. But before I do that, I wanted to have the Official ATT 2.3.4 ROM so that in case any issues I can flash that back. Also I did read about keeping the flash counter intact. I primarily want to be prepared before I start with it. Please share if there is a link available.
Thanks
Seriously? The Development forum is only 4 pages long and you're too lazy to even skim thread titles there?
I suggest you go back and read the XDA rules again. Search before posting.

I was looking through the development forum as well and did find out there were some ROMs which were already rooted. I was looking for a unrooted ROM and maybe would have missed when I was looking through. That does not mean I am lazy... I am new here and did ask for help after trying!

Your reactive comment is really uncalled for. People are here to help, and they do not get paid to be here, but some find it a little tiring when people appear to ask questions before they even look for the answer.
I understand that to a new person, sometimes you don't even have a point of reference to know what you are looking for. What you need can be found in the development forum as "Unbrick/return to stock by Entropy512."
Also refer to the sticky topic "Library" in the development section, and the sticky topic "FAQ" in the general section.
Edit: OK I see you removed your reactive comment, so I removed it from the quote also.
My bad..sorry about the reactive comment.
I am a new user to Android and just moved from iPhone. I do appreciate the DEVS work and understand it is an extra responsibility for you.
I had rooted and unlocked my SGS2 but being extra cautious not to brick it when flashing the ROM. I maybe should have read through all the posts irrespective of the title
Thanks Guys.. I got the thread.. I will pick it up from there
do you have the link for official stock rom that you found?
I mean the 2.3.4

If we spoonfed every new person that comes here to XDA we wouldn't have enough room for actual development dude. So what you are suggestion is basically ridiculous. I want to come here for development. Not a bunch of links and "how to" posts. Searching is a good thing.

I tried searching, but a lot of times, its confusing on which Rom is actually the stock version which would return everything as before.
I looked at restoring the phone thread and couple of others which also say they are stock rom, hence the confusion.
There is no point in fighting. I got my answer, so its ok if people got mad at me for asking a question. They will forget about it in a couple of hours, and I will try to search a little more next time.

Does this look absolutely anything like a request, general or questions section to you?
Think about it for 1 second, what would this section look like if this kind of topic was allowed, answer is it would be a complete mess and you would have to trail through a sea of crap to get to the roms/kernels etc.
This sections is for developments, not help requests, app requests, or anything else completely unrelated to development, Its for ROMS/KERNELS/MODS/REF etc only.
If you want to post this type of topic do it in the appropriate section(s). Its really irritating when people who have subscribed to this forum get stupid topics like this emailed to them.
Please turn brain on an read the forum titles.
Well im sorry and i apologize if turned my brain off k?

Well thats just been sexist.
Doesn't make a difference what your sex is, you should still have common sense enough to put questions in questions forum, general discussion in general etc. Its obvious if you take a few seconds to look that the Dev section re for releases/mods and reference etc.
Tbh I blame XDA for this aswell because they could restrict posting rights for dev forums more per post count or usergroup.

It's not actually sexism if it's a principle that should be applied equally to both sexes (though the wording ephraim used wasn't exactly to that effect, but hopefully you get my point). There is a certain sense of irony when you remind someone of the rules in an inflammatory way, and so break the rules yourself.
It was a simple mistake, an accidental posting in a forum that has squillions of subforums. It happens.
Anyway, OP's question has been answered. Bluefa1con's advice sounds fairly easy, especially if you already have a stock zip lying around.

It wasn't an accident. An accident would be if they meant to post in a specific section but didn't realize they was in a different one when clicking post.
Users are just simply choosing to posting in dev section instead of taking seconds to work out that they shouldn't, That isn't an accident, its just pure laziness.
XDA needs some sort of structure in place like increasing the post count restriction, retro applying it to older members who signed up before they started imposing or restricting posting to recognized devs only. Any non recognized devs could put forward a topic which could be moved into dev section.
Allowing basically anybody to post anything in dev sections just pollutes the forum and annoys people who subscribe and get emails about "howz me flash me fone" topics (not referring to this topic, just general).
