So i rooted my phone and installed clockwork rom manager and downloaded nero v3_voodoo.zip and put it on my phone..boot into recovery mode and now i get
--Installing: SDCARD:/Nero_3_voodoo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
and it stays like this for hours.
Thank You
Which rom/ version are you coming from? Can you boot up normally, not in recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you rebooted into ClockWorkMod Recovery, right?
@Fearless yes.
@jrod from stock and yes i can boot up phone and it works normally it just doesn't flash the new rom
Weird
I want to say that I had this problem @ one point. I think I downloaded a new copy of the ROM. Sometimes the download get corrupted at one point or another. Have you hit boards.teamwhiskey.com? or head to the IRC chat channel? they have a GREAT support community.
I really hope you ran a titanium backup, or else you will loose all apps. I really suggest springing for the paid version, because the restore is only one click.
ok...try re-downloading the ROM again and see if that works
@led Thank You!
@fearless
Downloaded update.zip to root phone did that blah installed clockwork mod app granted superuser always, clicked flash clockwork did that, copied nerov3 onto sd card opened clockwork selected reboot into clockwork recovery once in recovery i selected the zip i wanted to update to which was nerov3voodo.zip clicked yes and it finds and opens it fine just soon as it hits installing it gets hung up for a long time hours so i just pull out the battery and boot back up to normal android with root
Im not 100% positive if this is required or not but when I flash a rom I always start from stock rom, then use samsung mini kies to update to Ji6, then flash the rom of ur choice. I did nero v3 that way too.

I did the same as jrod after a soft brick recently....
mac
is there kies mini for osx?
Ur gonna have to research a lil cuz it wasn't easy to find, at least for me it wasn't lol and im not sure if there is kies for osx. Again im not sure if this routine will fix ur problem I just know it never fails for me. The one time I did flash straight from stock rom, it was a different rom (not nero) and it worked but it seemed real buggy. I say this cuz I flashed the same rom twice, once from stock JFD and once from JI6. Coming from JI6 seemed much smoother

Wait a minute, the way I'm reading this Nerov3 was on the SD card and not the root of the phone?
If that's the case both update.zip and nerov3.zip have to be on the 16g root memory of the phone, not the SD card.
I can't install the ROM. I keep getting an error. It says:
E: Failure at line 12:

Any ideas why???

Haha aite. Ima fill u in. But it might be a difficult to follow, lol:
1) I began by installing the custom ROM "[ROM] Vibrant AOSP ish JK2 1.1 Official FROYO". I had done the back-ups with Clockwork Mod and whatnot. And I also installed the BusyBox.
2) So I successfully installed the custom ROM. However, I read that there was an issue with SD Card's not working??? So I found the .zip file that fixes it and I put it on my SD Card. I then launch into Clockwork Mod, but it freezes on the Vibrant screen. It just boot loops. So I guessed I bricked it.
3) I try numerous times to ODIN it back to stock. It somewhat worked. However, after the Galaxy S screen, it just turns black and nothing loads. Like the interface doesn't show up.
4) I then restore it to a previous state through Recovery. But now, the SD card issue is still present. Like, I can't update/download any apps.
5) I find NERO v3 and I put it on my SD Card. I boot into recovery, and try to install it through there.
6) As I try to install it I get that,
"E: Failure at line 12:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted." message.
IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME, IT WOULD BE GREAT!!!! Lol.

Ok ur right that was alot to follow lol. Ur gonna have to start all over and odin back to stock. Make sure you have both the right ....512.pit file that goes next to the PIT selection in odin , obviously. And the ....jfd.tar file that goes in the pda selection. Check the repartition box also. Let odin and the phone do its thing. It usually will sit on the galaxy s screen for a couple minutes. Did you have any lag fixes installed? If so I hope you disabled them first

Depends what ur looking for. The newest and reputable ones are nero v3 and axura 2.2.5.7. Nero is a lil more stable but not by much. Axura is a lil more snappier/faster but also not by much. Both are themed specifically to the makers choice so its ur call which to go with. Without customizing anything I like neros theme better but after I flashed blackfroyo to axura I loved it. Also it seems that nero is more customizable but that could be cuz axura just came out a few days ago. So its ur call. Try em both out. I did. Give one a couple days then the other so you can really wee the positives and negatives. DONT forget to disable voodoo if you try multiple roms

Yeah, I have the *True Stock* files for ODIN. I can get ODIN to do its job, but it doesn't load anything after the Galaxy S screen. Hmmm....perhaps it is the lag switch. How do I disable it?

You have to disable the lag fix before you start flashing. Which lag fix do you have?

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.

Hey has anyone else experience this. I'm running Voodoo. It doesn't matter which one, when ever i go into recovery it says voodoo disabled enabled on the next reboot. However after the next reboot it still says the same thing. Also conversion says no.

so, your problem is that you can't get it to convert voodoo?
That may not be his problem, and it may not be a problem at all. My guess would be he is running CWM 2.5.1.x (CWM-recovery-all-3-30-fix) which erroneously showed voodoo was disabled and would be enabled on next reboot. CWM 3.0 corrected that display error.
I am running CWR 2.5. Is that the problem?

Its voodoo'd, just a bug in that version of cwm...update to 3 and it works fine
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
^^ This. Exactly. Not a problem, just a bug. But CWM 3.0 is more functional anyway.
I read that CWM 3 was having problems writing back ups. Is this true, thats why I've struck with 2.5.1
Cwm3 is the way to go these days.

ive flashed back to Stock and then added different roms and everyone ive gone back to after stock, the settings of Anroid System in Settings is 0. the problem is that everytime I reboot the phone, all my settings aren't there anymore such as volume levels I previously set up or even the selection of keyboard - how can I fix this?
I've had this problem too.. a reboot of my phone on any custom rom always wipes my contact list, settings, messages, and apps but keeps my wallpaper and wifi and google info... I've always wondered why and if there's a way to fix it

when I get to a computer will give this a try, thanks.. i've noticed an occasional "error mounting /data" when wiping in CWR but payed it no attention since everything works fine when it boots up on first install
edit: im not using any voodoo kernels or CWR so i don't think that ext4 formats gonna work for me.. however it seems my /data and /datadata corruption problems stem from a simple mistake: not booting into the stock rom once first before odin-ing CWR
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Lol I'm going threw that crap now. Did u fix it?
Skip the ext4 part do all of the odin part of the tutorial
seemed to fix it for me.. time will tell if the fix sticks, thanks guys
edit: yeah I odined debloated/deodexed EB01, let it do its own data wipe on booting then powered off. I then odined CWR, booted straight into it, did the usual data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed ComRom 2.0 and let it boot. I then booted into recovery and flashed the 2.1 patch right over it with no wipe. I let it boot up and presto!! no problems after 2 days, it even keeps data after reboots!! problem solved for me

Okay.....Here's the situation: I have the Samsung Vibrant and wanted the new 2.2, so I tried doing it myself and just couldn't get it to work. So a guy I know came to the house and did it for me. He used something he was familiar with that he got from here. The phone works fine for the most part. I tried downloading and using GPSRestore from Samsung. When I ran the app it said it couldn't because I had a GT-I9000. How can I get the phone to show what it really is? Some information about the phone: Simply Galaxy 2.7.2 SweetHoney.zsjpj - Kernel ver.: 2.6.32.9 Overstock - v1.5.1 #1 - Firmware ver.: 2.2.1
I'd like to use the app from Samsung and other app's but I am wondering if this will happen again.
Well, that is because you have 2.2.1 which is a GT-I9000 build. To fix this go into root explorer, mount system as r/w, go into build.prop as the text editor and change everything that says GT-I9000 into SGH-T959. Hope that helps!
I'm going to print this out and give it a try right now. I'll be back shortly(if I dont screw it up) and let you know what happened. Thank.
I have a similar situation. I have a i9000 boot animation i would like to get rid of any ideas????
I just did it...it works...but u must reboot for the changes to take effect...
simply galaxy 2.8 vibrant

you probably flashed the GB bootloaders
^^AGREED^^
I9000 bootanimation is a known issue/non-issue after ODIN while using GB bootloaders. It is addressed in the OP of the GB bootloader thread.

WOOT! +1 on "Root Explorer" that shiznit is tha bomb diggity!!
Good luck!
Well, I tried changing all of the GT-I9000's to SGH-T959 and after I did that I rebooted the phone. When the phone started up it started to vibrate every 3 seconds, would barely respond from the touch screen and would not accept anything from the keyboard.
At this point I thought I had ruined the phone because I couldn't get it back to the original settings. I finally got the keyboard to work by changing to a different one and got the original settings back. Where did I go wrong?

jfd odin file - for use after installing gingerbread bootloaders

if you have gingerbread bootloaders installed and you end up odining to stock (jfd), you will notice it changes the bootsplash to i9000. You can either reflash a gb bootloader again, or simply use the odin package above to do so.

I am having the same issue... i am not seeing a build.prop file I am running Malice_v4x_72011_EDT with GB boot loaders...
EDIT: NM I found it
yeah
I did something of the same thing....but it froze midway thru....totally freaked me out. Took me about 15minutes to try and figure out how to reboot the phone into recovery because it kept asking me to select with the OK key....and I dont have an ok key!! Once I finally got it to boot up, it would flash the GT-I9000 logo during bootup, THEN the Vibrant logo. I flashed it back to stock via Odin again and it finally went away. Dunno WHAT I did, but it was scary!
Well, I have given up on the whole thing. I have tried twice with the same results. I'm just going to live with and expect to not be able to run apps for the Vibrant. Thanks for everyones help.

theres a gps fix i think in sgstools, could try that ??
I was able to get the build.prop thing to work, but when all was said and done the swpe keyboard no longer responded... had to navigate through the market to find the basic gingerbread keyboard... all is well now...
as for the gps fix
i was able to get the one in sgstools to "run" (before i fixed the gt-i9000 thing), but i am running a GB rom, so it still doesn't work as well as it did with froyo...
Shouldnt matter if your phone is a GT-I9000
Its still a Galaxy S
And if it says GT-I9000, its because the ROM uses a GT-I9000 Kernel or its listed as such in the Build.prop.
Most Froyo ROMs dont even need the GPS restore because the GPS is pretty damn good on them all.
Try A Toxic or an EDT ROM

Okay folks, thanks to the great posts on here, I tried one last time and it worked. I changed the keyboard first and then used sgstools which has a .prop editor in it. I rebooted and it works great now. Just have to get used to the GB keyboard now. Thanks again all.
You don't HAVE to get used to the Gingerbread Keyboard. Tons of after-market keyboards out there. I'd suggest Swype or Swiftkey X, but there are many more.
I was using the Swype and I think that was what was causing the problems I experienced. Since I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard it has been smooth sailing.
