'Quick' steps to disable voodoo5. Plug your phone into your computer with debugging enabled and open command prompt. Type the following:

Code:

adb shell touch /sdcard/voodoo/disable_lagfix
adb reboot

When the phone reboots, you should hear the nice voice saying that voodoo is being disabled.

or you could just create a folder name disable_lagfix inside the Voodoo folder using ur phone My Files and then reboot manually using power button.. less drama

...I am not sure how to even reply to this. You have a Vibrant. This is a Samsung Fascinate forum. We have different mountpoints. You just took every mountpoint for every partition in your phone and screwed it hard, with no lube.

Best reccomendation at this point is head over to the Vibrant forums here on xda and see if there are some Odin files you can use.

Sorry man, nothing I can do from here.

I just wanted to say that if you read, really read, the instructions and follow them exactly it's really pretty hard to screw this up. I like Voodoo because i do a lot of podcast downloads, heavy email use, and probably more to the point, tend to listen to a lot of music, and the other custom kernels seem to have audio issues. I've installed/uninstalled voodoo 5 probably about a half dozen times without issue. If you follow the instructions in this thread, it's not that hard.

I want to uninstall voodoo, but I have a few questions.

1. I have the v0.2 voodoo...would that be voodoo 4? I downloaded it a few months ago so it was one of the very first versions.

2. I want to use your uninstall app, but you say don't use rom manager. What exactly do you mean? I can't reboot into recovery using the option in rom manager?

3. This will wipe everything, correct?

4. I'm scared. Hold me?

I was one of the crack people who completely screwed their phone with Odin - stuck in a force close loop of hell. Tried a thousand other things to try and fix it. Flashed the Odin file at the bottom of your post and everything is all good again!

help, my phone will only boot to the yellow triangle with Downloading... beneath it. I tried using odin to flash cwmod to it, but i still can't boot into it no matter what. My problems started when i flashed a kernel over voodoo lag fix without disabling/removing/whatever you're suppose to do first. Please Help! Thanks.

jvegastn · Dec 18, 2010

My phone won't boot; on boot it brings up the stock recovery. I'm able to apply CWM and get to the CWM recovery but thats about the extent of it. I have tried the Odin restore of sys, kernel and recovery to no avail. I try to restore one of my backups from CWM, all seems to go well but once the restore is complete I'm still stuck with either the stock or CWM recovery....thoughts?

jvegastn · Dec 18, 2010

When Recovery, System, and Kernel +Odin didn't work I ran across the DI01package3.tar.md5 flashed it with Odin and my phone is back as it should be.

If you did the uninstaller, flash a nonvoodoo kernel. You may want to wipe everything as well. You should go through and read the remove voodoo threads and get all of the files needed to revert to stock. When you get it going again go through and remove anything voodoo related.

o3dodgesrt4 · Dec 21, 2010

ive been trying that and half the links for files dont work. the other half make no sense to me. plus all the other posts being made deviate from the original problem. all i want is to get my phone back to 100% stock. is there someway to get all the files needed in one post or something. that way im not having to bounce all over the place and get confused to find this stuff.

update: ok so i tried it all again from what i did b4. seems to work. it rebooting fine now and all my apps are there. how do i know if voodoo 4 is actually gone?

o3dodgesrt4 · Dec 21, 2010

update: EPIC FAIL!!! so i decided to do a cold boot. turned it off. left it for about 30 min. rebooted. it boots ok but none of my apps open. WTF!!! can someone direct me to the links to get this thing to stock again?

i want it unrooted, no voodoo, no nothing. just 100% stock as i got it from verizon.

aerodroid · Dec 21, 2010

I tried to return to stock (system and kernal) without removed the Voodoo5 lag fix. . .that was my fault, I knew better and just forgot. . .

Obviously the phone won't boot . . . I grabbed Voodoo5 from this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872378) flashed that kernel via ODIN and booted into red recovery. Turned off the lag fix . . .

HERE's the problem. . .it says lag fix is currently enabled and will be disabled at the next boot. BUT, I can boot the phone.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

So, i guess never mind. . .I used the sledge hammer approach. ODIN --> PDA --> DI01package3.tar.md5.tar

done and done

anyone interested can find that file at the following post

aerodroid · Dec 22, 2010

@o3dodgesrt4 --- if you want 100% stock flash the file below in ODIN via PDA.
