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

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

Well hell....maybe a bad download of bionix...
Ya know I didn't think that was possible BUT after the bionix-v -tw- voodoo.zip it says (bad) does that mean its a bad dl and I should start over?

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.

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.

Click reinstall package and itll reboot, then click tasty again, and ur in.
If u deleted the update.zip then that's y its not working.
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 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.

Okay I rooted my phone with the one click root. I saw it installed busybox, have no idea what that is. Now I wanna install supercurio's ka6 build with voodoo, so my phone doesnt lag. What are the proper steps to load it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
wow! there should be a tutorial somewhere here, try the stickies. Basically your first step is to get rom manager from the market, open it then click on Flash Clockwork mod then pick vibrant. Next step is to pick a rom of your choice, I would try Bionix 1.2.1., d/l the zip file and transfer it to your internal sd card (do not extract). After thats done open rom manager again click on reboot into recovery. If the recovery is not in green letters choose install packages. When you have the green recovery choose back up and restore then back up. after thats done next choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card, then click on the zip file, then scroll down to install, let it do its thing and reboot. If you want to back up your apps then get the paid version of Titanium back up or don't. Good luck!
I just want to install supercurio's ka6 build with voodoo. He stated it was the stock samsung ka6 but injected with voodoo. Are all thoae steps required just to install this build

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?

Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

There should be two choices, flash from internal and flash from external. Did you choose the correct one?

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

That error will always happen. You can safely ignore it.
Wait so if you can get to TWRP why not just push the zip you need using ADB?
