Hi guys,
I was just wondering, when the JPU (2.2.1) update comes, I would like to upgrade to it from scratch (remove voodoo, hard-reset the phone, etc).
As of now, I have stock 2.2 + voodoo. How do I completely remove voodoo and everything else, and update to 2.2.1 (not just disable voodoo)?
Does the upgrade through KIES remove voodoo?
All I want is a fresh new 2.2.1 phone, as stock.
Many thanks!
Any ideas?

create a disable-lagfix file/folder in /sdcard/Voodoo (/sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix)
and it should disable Voodoo. alternatively you can disable it via recovery. it does the same thing. (creating a file).
when 2.2.1 is out(if ever), Kies should be able to upgrade without a hitch though i've never personally used it.
it's best to remove all lagfixes and tweaks and all that funny custom stuff prior to upgrading if you're aimming to be "clean".

Thanks, but what I was aiming for was a totally clean phone.
Meaning no disable-lagfix folder in sdcard. Just clean, stock phone.
Does the firmware update fix that or is there a way to achieve that?
Unless I'm mistaken, you first need to disable lagfix as described above. After this, you need to flash a new kernel which doesn't include voodoo or another lagfix. If you're flashing stock JPU or any other stock firmware, that will take care of your problem.

Thanks. I'll try that
How will it affect my system sounds (FM radio, ring tone,...etc) for Captivate ATT?
Hi,
Currently I am running XFJP9(froyo 2.2) with supercurio's voodoo kernel with lagfix (Voodoo_stable 5.5 & ClockworkMod v2.5.1.3). Now i am planning to flash my ROM to XXJVK (2.3.3).
Now here's the question, do i need to disable the lagfix (covert back to RFS filesystem) before flashing? if its a must then please provide a link describing how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Disabling the lagfix before changing versions is ABSOLUTELY essential. The only time you can get away with NOT disabling lagfixing when flashing ROMs is when you are going to be using the same kernel or a different version of the same kernel in the new ROM. In this case (Froyo to Gingerbread) I would disable it no matter what.
With Supercurio's kernel I believe you need to go into Recovery and select Disable System Conversion and then reboot, but I have never used that kernel so I am unsure. Perhaps you could ask in the thread for that kernel down in Android Development.
Thanks for quick reply.
Only disabling the lagfix, i mean converting back to RFS file system will work or I need to flash back to the stock kernel before flashing to JVK ROM?

Disable the lagfix, no need to flash back to your old stock, then follow the directions for the ROM...most require you to flash the new stock JVK ROM in order to install the bootloader, then flash whatever new JVK rom you wish as the dev suggests.
Just follow their instructions and you should be fine.
Hi guys i have one quick question... if I flash a stock gingerbread ROM will it update my bootloader? do i have to tick anything else beside repartition? (i assume i have to use 512.pit file)
It will update your bootloader, provided the rom you downloaded includes one. And no to the latter.
Hey all, I've got Simplicity on my phone, the kernal isn't rooted and I'm not sure how to do this. I've downloaded a rooted kernal (both are JVU) and put it on. Now my BLN isn't working.
Anyone advise how to update the kernal so I have both root access and BLN?
