[How To] Using CWM and Voodoo June, 5 2011

Hey bro I opened cwm made sure voodoo lagfix was enabled then opened connectbot typed mount it said rfs instead of ex4 am I doing some thing wrong i'm deff a noob at this any help appreciated

are you sure you flashed a voodoo kernel
 
Not sure I flashed stock ed1root then ab4

if you flashed Voodoo kernel and still have rfs, most likely the conversion to ext4 didn't continue for a number of reasons. It could be that your sound was off and you couldn't hear the voice status messages and you thought it was hung on the Samsung logo. It could be that your battery was low and the conversion aborted on its own.

If you have installed the red CWM, check the voodoo option. It should show you the status of rfs to ext4 conversion. You can change lagfix setting to convert from rfs to ext4 on the next boot. Make sure you have sufficient battery and sound is turned up before you reboot after enabling lagfix from the voodoo option.

Hope it helps.
 
Is there an update for this yet, or are we still using the CWM where the go back/menu key doesn't work?

I installed the update, which it says was successful, but then I couldnt go back so I unplugged the battery. Am I at 4.1 or just 4.0 now?
 
With phone off, I hold volume up + home + nd power buttons and all i get is the samsung screen logo nothing more. What could be wrong
 
Did you flash something? If you did and its vodoo it will hang there for a 2-7 minutes converting your file system. If you flashed something and it hangs like that for 10 minutes. If it converted files to ext4,(vodoo) you will need to flash another vodoo kernel then disable the lagfix. Then you need to go back to odin and flash the Ed1 stock rom and go from there. make sure after you flash the stock rom you wipe the caches etc.

can someone explain the difference between the different color cwm's? I have a yellow one. I think its yellow bc its a voodoo one or is it bc of the version?

Also im pretty voodoo is enabled for me(1500 quadrent score) but im trying to make sure from cwm. It says its disabled but im able use the voodoo control app?
 
Also, what's the difference between the different types of caches? I didn't clear any of them while rooting.
 
Gunnermike...got a question. Just switched over the the D1...things are a bit different with the Charge. :) I just finished rooting my phone and did everything I was supposed to do...even verified through the Terminal Emulator that I'm running the voodoo kernal...BUT, when I got into CWM and go to Voodoo, it shows the following:

CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v4.0.0.1

Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled
next boot: disabled

Options:

/system lagfix conversion: no
debug mode: no



Can you explain this to me? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,
T

If you look at imnuts CWM thread, he states that:

'Voodoo Lagfix status is not properly read from Recovery, use "adb mount" to verify your lagfix status'

Probably something being worked on.
 
Does the charge have a fully functioning nandroid back up yet? If not what have you guys been using for back up?
