Root Tried to install voodoo5 12/14 on fascinate HELP!!

[jljones06]

Alright so I recently rooted my phone (successfully) and flashed super clean.4 rom and adrynalyne's 12/30 non-voodoo kernel. But last night I tried flashing jt1134's voodoo 12/14 kernel and I'm getting the following message (at the clockworkmod recovery screen)

"ClockworkMod Recovery v 2.5.1.0
Waiting for SD Card to mount (20s)
SD Car mounted...
ROM Manager Version 3.0.0.7
Preparing to install ROM...
--Installing: SDCARD:/clockworkmod/download/deodexed.com/ROMManagerManifest/jt1134/voodoo1214_test_voodoo_fascinate.zip
Finding update package..."

And it won't budge now. I havent tried anything at all in fear of bricking my phone (again) so I hope someone can help me!! Thanks!

I pulled battery, went into manual clockwork recovery mode to clear the dalvik cache and battery stats then rebooted, now it says its in "safe mode" should I still just try it again? I'm flashing it through rom manager, I am new to the whole voodoo kernel thing. :/

imo its always best to flash from cwr directly and avoid rom manager.

can you battery pull and 3 button recovery into cwr? from there you can try and restore a backup

yeah thats what i did the first time, i did the three button recovery method. so when it booted back up everything was working (all the apps etc.) so i opened rom manager and tried to flash the voodoo5 12/14 rom again and now its sitting at the samsung screen and a female voice is talking to me. this is good im guessing? lol

If you hear her voice then it should be working!

YES! It works! I just ran the quadrant full benchmark and it went from 909 to 1850! Now that I've got that going, Does this kernel already have the the graphics and sound improvements on it? or do I have to get that some other way? Thanks for all the help guys!

The kernel you flashed will not have voodoo sound implemented. Try Jt's 1/23, its a good one, I tried it. Or one of imnuts 1/30 voodoo kernels from the kernel thread. At this point, just make sure you flash voodoo kernels. If you ever want to flash a non-voodoo you need to disabel lagfix FIRST. You do that under the advanced tab in Red CWR.

Can I find any of those on ROM Manager? Because for some reason my phone won't sync up with windows or mac anymore. when i plug it into my mac it lets me mount it but then says its an unreadable drive. and with windows it mounts as a cd rom drive. :/

Either email them to yourself as an attachment or sign up for dropbox .....the post 1/20 kernels should fix the CD-ROM issue ....but try rebooting with your phone still plugged in to your computer.....that usually fixes it

Sweet, restarting it while it was plugged in worked. I found a thread where a lot of kernels were but im not really sure which one i should use. I'm running DL09 super clean.4 and currently have voodoo5 12/14 running. and I when I pick one and put it on my SD card I can just install it through CWM? or do I need to mess with odin?

After you have it on your sd card, boot into cwr, wipe cache partition and then flash. You will see a screen with blue words on it. It doesn't take long. Then you will reboot the system. Enjoy! Which kernel are you going to use?

Thanks! I just tried jt's 1/24 voodoo5 kernel but I think I might try out the 1/23 because its still recognizing my phone as a cd rom! >_<

P.S. I cannot seem to find the 1/23 ANYWHERE! I see that you are using it. where did you dl it from?
