[Q] i9000 voodoo installation

---

hello all

I am using the I9000 international version
official rom 2.3.3 I9000ZSJV6

I tried installing the new voodoo and turns out there is the signature problem, realizing is the recovery 3e which is causing it.

so now I wonder if I can still install it through Odin? Just select the PDA and starts it?

Will I lost any data in my phone? I already have pictures contacts and stuffs backup, but just don't want to lose those installed applications.

Thank you very much for answering, helping and even just reading it!
Appreciate it, Thank you.


p.s. got another question in flashing roms, so do i also lost all data by flashing a new rom?

I haven't i9000 but i'm sure you have to flash a custom recovery like CWM first...

Yes. 3e Recovery is the problem. If you want to get 2e Recovery which will solve this issue forever, you will need to flash CF-Root.
Either that or you downgrade your SGS to Eclair 2.1 (Step by Step) and flash it back to what you want to gain 2e Recovery.

And yes. You can flash a kernel via Odin with PDA. If you flash KERNEL ONLY, your data will not be wiped out. However, if you are to flash a new ROM, all your Data will be wiped out.

Thanks all

I plugged the phone and tried to flash the voodoo pda file and my phone is stuck at the GALAXY S screen for 30 mins.... omg what can I do now?

omfg........
I think i have found out the reason...
i have mistakenly flashed the Froyo kernel to my phone
can I flash another kernel n hope it turns ok??

omg
I am trying to flash it with SpeedMod Gingerbread hopefully it can over-writes it but it is now stopped at the "zImage" stage in Odin geeee

someone help pleaseeeee

Reflash to stock kernel and start from clean might do the trick.

Just import the contacts with your gmail account.

urgh
but my backed contacts are save as .sbu

might just flash it back to official rom and apply lag fix....
SpeedMod Gingerbread and Talon Kernel Alpha should work just fine with official rom right?

sorry for so many questions, thanks for helping!

btw how to remove lagfix if i wanna update through kies in the future?
