IF voodoo is COMPLETELY disabled and you're positive on this you can flash a new ROM, but once again, it's ALWAYS safer to ODIN back to stock before flashing.

If Voodoo is disabled, then flash a different rom/kernel and youll be good to go. Jus dont delete the disable_voodoo file until after youve flashed another kernel.

What about as far as cwm? Cuz voodoo messed it up and I cant get to regular cwm. But if its disabled it should be fine?

If it's disabled you should be fine, just flash a new ROM with a new kernel and you should be able to enter normal old green recovery.

Having to restart my phone about every 3-12 hours to make/recive calls, text, emai

I am having an issue where my phone will stop reciving/making calls text email anything of the sorts. after a reboot it works again. sometimes it will even drop a call than i have to reboot to call back. not sure when it got this way but it was doing it when i was running axura so i flashed nero but now its still doing it. and when i flashed nero i didnt even do a titanium back up i have just left it as is. so i am not sure what could be doing this. any thoughts?

ah I see. should i just use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091? Also this is a little noob of me but I am just not sure.. when flashing a rom say any rom. it flashes a new kernel as well right than I can change my kernel if I want, right? also what about the modem? do i have to flash that back to stock too?

When you flash back to stock, it will restore stock modem and kernel as well. Most ROMs include a modem and kernel so you won't have to change them seperately. If you do want something different than what flashed with the ROM it can easily be flashed over top. Hope that made sense. It's early.
Okay well I got that done and i had some issues but got it done. than when i tried to reroot and what not now i am having an issue i can fix. i did get nerov1 installed but now my superuser crashes and i can't do anything with root. like install the camera fix. I;m not sure it might be related to the fact that when i try to reboot to recovery I get the stock recover than when i click reinstall packages it does the same thing it did when i rooted or at least tries.. doesn't bring me to CWM just reboots and thats that.

I think you don't understand what a "Custom recovery" actually means...
And by the way, LGDRM, KDZ Updater and fastboot can update firmware without an installed recovery

You should read the stuff in the links I posted. It doesn't get any simpler than that. If you are still confused after reading those links, I suggest you stop what you are doing and continue on with your life

You need a custom recovery to flash roms such as cm7. It is also used to make a backup of your phone and wipe the data on your phone. How is it that you've flash cm7 (which means that you've also used your recovery before) yet you don't know the purpose of having a recovery? I think you're going way to ahead of yourself.
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I'm guessing it's more of a case of he's flashed cm7, using the recovery to do so, but doesn't understand the behind-the-scenes procedures that go into the actual flashing.
you need to read the sticky thread if you dont know basics
Think of custom recovery as the basic setup/installer tool for anything and everything related to custom ROMs, kernels, etc. .
kdz and lgdrm are only for stock(OEM)/official releases.
The reason you need it, because it's the only way to do it and carrier's don't give you access to change your ROM. Does Microsoft put mod chips/software in xbox 360? No, hell no, they only give you limited access and regulate what content can be yours.
Custom recoveries come with features that you normally can't do, like nand(full phone backup) backup.
It's this way because that's how it has to be done.

Just because your phone is "rooted" dosent mean you can install a rom like a app, you need to use clockwork mod, why do you need it? you need it because it allows you to perform actions that you couldn't do on a stock phone. With clockwork mod you can back up your system files, restore system files, install new roms for use or testing. If your phone is just "rooted" all it means is you can now access system files, use certain "root required" apps, being rooted is step #1 to installing clockwork mod, its like your phone is unlocked, if you just want your phone rooted to delete some system apps thats fine, but it is wise to flash clockwork mod because it can prevent your phone from being bricked and now you can install roms. so the answer is pretty simple, how else would you install a rom without clockwordmod? you couldnt so its just one of those things you need, hope this helps man
reply
apart from all this custom roms come packed as zip files n kdz updater or lgdrm doesnt recognize these files so u need to hace custom recoveries like cmw or twrp or amonra

I don't think that you could do that... since the phone doesn't even come with CM7 in the first place. Doing a factory reset / restore wouldnt bring the phone to stock CM7. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it bring the phone back to FroYo since that's what it came with?
CM7 is already a custom ROM so there is nothing stock about it... Stock means whatever the phone came with from the box (FroYo) CM7 is Gingerbread.

If your running cm7 or any rom you can do a factory/reset through the rom your using, it will just erase all info but wont delete the rom and it will delete apps so when you reboot you will have to set up Google account like a new phone, cm7 will still be installed and your current rom it will just be like new, to do a factory reset go to settings, security then hit factory reset, reboot and then back to a clean start on cm7 there will be a option to erase everything on the SD card, hit no if you want to keep all files on your SD or hit yes if you want it all gone, goodluck p.s the only way you can go back to stock is to flash a stock rom and if you made a backup of your stock rom before you flashed cm7

DooMRecovery Query

I'm really sorry, but I have a query. Is DooMRecovery for the Xperia S only on GB 2.3.7? Because I flashed DooMKernel and The WiFi modules based on something I read on another website, and it only boots into DooMRecovery. If I don't press the volume up button, it only restarts.
I don't have any system image files on my phone either, for me to flash a firmware. So, I'm thinking that basically I'm screwed. Any help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated.
This is my first Android phone and I really messed up. Really appreciate any help.
Here's a link to the website, who's tutorial I followed to flash the Kernel and Modules.
androidauthority.com/xperia-s-lt26i-clockworkmod-recovery-doomrecovery-76877
I'm really sorry, but I'm new here..
I think doomrecovery is just RECOVERY, that's why the name
It's only for GB. If you need recovery, flash Advanced Stock Kernel.

So, if I manage to get the CM9 files onto the internal memory and flash them, I'm good? I'm currently on ICS and accidentally flashed DooMRecovery on my phone, so I'm stuck in auto restart.

I know you're in panic mode here and its easy to skip steps when you're freaking out. But ayleast you can boot into your Rom. Can you transfer files thru usb once you are booted? If so get the rom, kernel, and kernel modules on your phones storage. Now follow mustafa's instructions slowly and in order. And you should be good.

You mentioned Wifi isn't working, but is data working? If so, just download a new ROM to your SD card and flash it that way.
