Undoing Voodoo Lagfix on 2.2

I am thinking of putting Voodoo lagfix on my Captivate running 2.2. Before I do, I want to know if there is an easy way to remove Voodoo. Any help is appreciated.

Simply put an extensionless file in the Voodoo folder called disable lagfix, reboot and you will here the robot lady converting the files back. When you want to enable Voodoo again, delete the disable lagfix file.

Thanks for the reply, but I pretty much have no idea aghast you mean. I am basically a noob who has become proficient at following directions to flash roms, but there's about it.
If its not too much trouble can you explain what you mean about the extensionless file?
I'm going to keep searching the forums. Thanks

No problem, I was a noob too, seems so long ago although it isn't.
Just connect your phone you your pc and mount to your pc. Then browse the files of you internal sd card find the voodoo folder, then open it, then create a new folder inside the Voodoo folder and name it disable lagfix. Safely remove hardware from your pc and then unmount the phone from your pc. Reboot the phone and you will hear the robo lady's voice converting the data files back.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

[Q] Undo lagfix

They say it's a good idea to undo the lagfix before flashing a new ROM (is that so?). How can I undo my lagfix then? Unfortunately I don't recall what lagfix method I used.

That's one of the various reasons why you shouldn't have used one in the first place... *sigh*.

Go into the "about" screen for your phone and see what it says under firmware. If it's voodoo, you'll see something like #voodoo. Likewise, you'll see a voodoo folder on your sd card.

I also wanna know how to completely remove voodoo and its kernel

You can disable voodoo by creating a folder called Undo voodoo or something, its on the developers site. Problem is you can't permanently and totally remove them without a flash. The reason I have not done a lag fix..... I did and it killed my market, so Samsung reflashed it for me stock rom.

you have to create a folder called disable-lagfix in the folder called voodoo in the internal sd card. Then reboot.
Also, to have it disabled you have to leave that folder there until you flash a new kernel, or else it will go back to ext4 partitions on next reboot.

Oh, and market problem is not related to this at all.

I rooted my phone, market was fine and bootup screen was fine. I applied the one click lag fix and BAM I lost the S bootup animation and my market would deny me access as my phone was not "provisioned" or "privileged" to access the market.

its not the lagfix's fault that you lost your market...

It says "2.1-update1" What does that mean?

What's it say under "kernel"?

N00b question (messed up a flash)

Hi guys,
So basically I got a bit over-excited and flashed a new ROM without disabling lag fixes... now whenever I flash a ROM or want to disable lag fixes, the phone just doesn't start up unless I put it into jfs (the fix I was using when I messed up) basically I can't boot the phone with rfs anymore.....
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixed?

this is wrong forum to post
by the way what does this means "Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App " if ur phone is bricked than how can u send it from SGS ? u got another one?

I can boot but only if I reapply lag fixes, can't boot without a lag fix enabled.... sorry if I wasn't clear

well to be true, i never disable lagfix before installing any new firmware to my phone. let me tell u what i do --
1) First flash I9000XWJM8 ( eclair rom) with RE-Partition and 512.pit
2) format sd card
3) flash new froyo rom ( whichever i want to )
4) Flash Kernel whichever i want to.
thats it. thats how i do it and it always work for me. Dont know if its the right thing or not but i always do it this way

Hmmmm, OK thanks, I'll give it a go!

so?? successful or not?

Just got it all back up and running (after a brief detour via cyanogeb beta... fun!) And it seems to have sorted it! Thanks alot!

You should be able to. I was always able to backup and recover every ROM I ever installed, as long as some version of the same ROM is installed.
In short, if you install a different ROM after u take backup, please install the original version of the ROM, and then restore from backup.

I thought flashing stock over voodoo = temporary brick. I thought you had to disable voodoo prior to One-click back to stock.

Disable lagfix, it does not work for me.

For some reason, disabling lagfix does not work for me. I am new here and I began about 2 days ago by flashing Assonance v5.0 to my Samsung Captivate. It's really nice and I love it a lot!!!!! But like some of the users who flashed to it, it's kinda using up my battery. So I'm taking up a suggestion to install JL3 Modem + xCal 2.1.1. First though, I must disable lagfix.
I reboot into Clockwork recovery and go through the steps: (advanced SpeedMod ULK features>LAGFIX options>Disable lagfix) Then I reboot, then click Restore with Backup. I have done this about 3 times and it doesn't seem to disable. I am assuming that it will stop displaying "Disable lagfix" once it's disabled and display something like "enable lagfix instead". So maybe it really has been disabled? idk, thanks for the help so far, I've been really impressed! Also, somewhere in the process, I lost all my apps, configuration (accounts, sync), and contacts. But I have those backed up so no worries about data loss.
Here are my old posts in the Assonance thread, but I felt like I was hijakcing it with my "can't disable lagfix" hijinks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877&page=204

Sent you a pm. I think it its disabled but you do not realize it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I had a felling that was the case. Was just waiting for someone to say, "oh it does that all the time". Well I might try it when I get out of work. What would happen if I flashed the modem thing without disabling it first ...

Worst case you get stock in boot loop and have to flash stock with odin. I do not think out is likely though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Well, I flashed both of them and nothing really happened ... it booted as normal. I guess it has been applied? Is there anyway to verify. Otherwise thanks, I guess it was disabled ... just wanted to make sure I suppose.

Look for a folder on your sd that says voodoo.
Go to settings, about phone, baseband. What does it say.
Boot back into recovery. Does it bring you to a blue lettered recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes recovery is blue, there are only four options. I got there by pressing "go to recovery 2e" or something like that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

You have the new kernel.
You should still have the update zip from rom manager saved to your sd. If you do not open rom manager and flash clockwork recovery. When in the blue menu select reinstall packages, will have to do this twice, should bring you to green clockwork recovery. You no longer have all of the same options in recovery.
To disable your current lagfix navigate to your voodoo folder on your sd. Create a folder inside named disable-lagfix. Reboot.

Will this change anything? I kinda want to keep xcal and the modem I flashed >_<

Enjoy, do not change anything unless you e want to

I've been using it all day and it works extremely well. I do believe my battery is much better now, even after a car trip with GPS. Sorry I can't do the quad band test ... should've done it before switching kernals. Thanks though, you helped me a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
