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.

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

Always disable voodoo before flashing anything.

Pretty certain the voodoo thread indicates going from voo 2 voo is fine.
Disabling is always safer, but perhaps not needed in your case.

Technically not before Odin as one usually has to use Odin to un-brick their phone after flashing with voodoo enabled.
I don't care what it says, voodoo is easy to disable so I would do it every time before flashing anything. No reason to risk going through everything after a soft brick if you can avoid it.
Search the market for Voodoo Toggle if you don't want to type out disable_voodoo in the folder.
^ flashing odin really isn't that hard
I didn't say it was...

Yea it is easy but takes around 20min for me to disable then enable again :/

So it will really disable voodoo if you odin back to stock? I always odin back to stock when flashing a new rom but haven't tried a voodoo.

so technically we don't NEED to disable voodoo if we flash from say... nero v3 to axura 2.2.5.5 since they both have voodoo?
Correct, technically you don't need to disable voodoo if going from v3 to Axura 2.2.5.5 but I would do it anyways. Just me being cautious.
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.

I am currently running SC 2.9.2 with jt's voodoo kernel. I understand how to disable and re-enable voodoo. My question is if the rom I want to flash is voodoo only should I re-enable voodoo before flashing? Also will it matter if it is enabled or disabled when flashing a new radio or kernel?
I want to use the community rom with the latest voodoo kernel to enable bln, UV, and OC
Thanks in advance for the help!

If you are currently running voodoo then you can just flash the community rom as you are going from voodoo to voodoo. its only an issue when going from voodoo to non voodoo in which you would have to disable voodoo then before flashing a non voodoo rom.

What radio are you running currently? The kernel that is included in the community rom will turn on voodoo but to be safe you can always enable it so that you are sure its enabled.

I followed these directions from adrynalyne. It wasnt bad at all.
So many of us are rooted...so many...
Getting to ED01 isn't easy without any radio leak. So, to get to ED01, so you can get yer bran' spankin' new modem!, follow these directions.
First, we will downgrade to DL09.
Do this by flashing this DL09 package in Odin (pda button, pda button, pda button)
http://adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/
Then, download this EA28 update.zip, put it on your sd card, reboot to recovery and flash:
http://www.multiupload.com/F00OYXVO0K
Finally, download this ED01 update.zip put it on your sdcard, and reboot to recovery and flash:
http://www.multiupload.com/LPI21AP8TD
Then, flash whatever the latest and great cwr 2.5.x is (I've not kept track.) Do not use cwr 3.x for now, imo. You can then flash one of the stock rooted roms, or root yourself via flashing a super user package from cwr.
Good luck!
Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.
Boot first to CWR after Odin, and install Community Rom v1.0 as it contains a kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474
Yeah thats what I was reading going to give EC01 a shot with the community mod first and see how that works out first seems a lot of people are thinking they are similar
yeah not much different at all. I just went to ed01 as i was wiping anyhow and his directions we straight forward but try ec01 then community v1.0 then you can flash v1.2
Thats what I'm going to do hopefully an odin ED01 package comes out I have a feeling EC01 will hold me over until then
Thanks for the help much more confident using voodoo
