I have blackhole 1.0 on my vibrant and I want to flash nero v5. My problem is when I try to flash it from my sd it says not found. I believe I have disabled the lag fix it doesnt even show up on my clockwork recovery menu anymore. Also when I try to open the devsforandroid rom list it says error while trying to recieve rom list. I do have rom manager premium with superuser on and in advanced mode. Please help as I need to get rid of blackhole because navigation is important to me. Thanks in advance

You should probably Odin back to stock before flashing another ROM, regardless of which one.
Double check that you're saving the rom to your internal sd and NOT your external.

I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something

I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.

Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.

If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.
Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.

Im going to give it another try when I get home. I've done the install packages but I get an error that it can't find somthing. But I will try doing it twice.

How do I get the update zip back
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.

Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip
Remove the old one before doing this.
Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it

Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.
It worked thank you guys.

I had flipfonts installed when I updated to stock KA6. I've unistalled all of them, yet I still can't get into my display settings. Does anyone have any ideas short of a factory reset? Thanks.
Maybe because I was actually using one of the non stock fonts, which is still the font on my phone?
The problem is that you restored some display setting after using a,FlipFont using some backup app.
You need to wipe the system! Reinstall, but don't restore any system settings. I experienced this problem before.

I recommend:
1. Unmount External SD Card
2. Format Internal SD Card
3. Factory Reset
My phone was running like ass until I did that. Now it's find and everythign works.
I would have preferred it if the update did that to begin with, especially with it changing mountpoints and leaving a ton of extra folders/files I don't need takign up space on my internal SD Card.
Thanks guys ill have to try the factory reset

Every time I flash bionix-v all my phone does is hard reset. Now I'm sure its my fault. So I'm asking for help to find where that fault is. I'm following team whiskeys install instructions. But what I'm getting is sd card can't be opened or file doesn't exist. I've tried placing the file in numerous locations. But no luck. So at this point I'm begging for help! Please.

your putting it on the internal sd right??
Yes, in the dl folder on the internal card
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
no ...you dont put it in a folder.. u just place it on the root of internal sd
say if you use the stock files app ..when you open that you should be able to see your .zip there without going to any files
Oh dang! Thanks let me give that a try.

Be careful if this is your first Voodoo flash....it comes with it enabled. If you go back to a version without voodoo make sure you go into CWM (red recovery) and go to advanced and voodoo lagfix and disable it first.
Oh and let it convert and reboot completely on its own when installing..you will hear Linda talking..
Same damn thing...no joy.
No lagfix nothin just odin back to jfd...wanted a clean slate for bionix

FYI it can be in a folder...I flashed everything like this from day 1. You should use md5 checksums to verify your download when they are provided though. It will verify bad downloads that could potentially hard brick your phone.
just flashed my friends bricked Vibrant back to stock with Odin. problem is when we try to install an app it says out of space and directs me to manage applications to make space. no matter how many apps i clear data on, it just wont let me install anything.
any suggestions?
maybe an easier way, but move everything to pc, format both internal/external, ODIN back to stock again, move only nec files back to phone.... what ODIN files did you use?
Dis you repartion in odin when you flashed back?

Out of space comes up when you flash over a rom with voodoo lagfix not disabled

Hey guys I have some questions about this this rom.
1. How do I revert back to bionix 1.3.1 from this rom. Wen I tryed it wouldn't let me flash back to bionix through recovery mode.
2. How do I access my external SD!? I've tried with root browser,astro, and a couple others to access my external SD but when I click the ex SD folder It says its empty.
Other than that I really dig this rom. I can't mute while on call but that's not a big deal. Also my HD cam was laggy until I flashed Eugene's kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
For 1, you'll have to go back to stock and flash bionix. That's what worked for me.
For 2: it is the EMMC folder
Thanks guys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
good job with using Eugene's kernel... really helps out an already awesome rom! also, for the mute issue... maybe do a clean flash of the rom? i haven't run into this issue personally, but since there's no need to do backups any longer, it would literally only take a couple minutes to reflash and you wouldn't have to worry about reinstalling all your apps etc!
