[Q] Voodoo - Install and Uninstall

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but there are so many posts its hard to sift through them all.
I've been to project voodoo's web site and found that I can download the update.zip file put it in the main directory, then install it via recovery mode.
Is there anything extra to it? Root phone?
If i want to uninstall it, how do I do it?
Is there a tutorial based on this? Or another thread?
Thanks guys!

I know what you mean... you just want the instructions plain and simple with no cmd language to it... kinda need a a-z guide. All the info is on the Voodoo home page, but imo it needs to be broken down a little more for the novice user, and become more open source as it should be and not like a ubuntu forum with geek language lol - geek language just frightens people away..

I don't see any mention of having to root the phone... Is that true?

You may have more replies asking on that thread as it is specific to it or in the Q&A section rather than here in the General section.

i dont think u deserve an answer, perhaps you should learn how to use your search function!

Found most answers what about odin? where do i download that?

[Q] How to restore SGS to working condition?

Updated: Thought I'd mention I'm on Bell (Canada) i9000m.
After upgrading my Slacker Radio App (not sure if it's related or not) my SGS restarted and went into a boot loop.
I would like to wipe out my phone (kernel and rom) and start off fresh.
I am able to enter download mode but don't know where to go from here.
Please help (even a link to a thread w/ instructions would be greatly appreciated).

Have you tried just going into recovery (vol up + power + home) and doing a factory reset?

Here u r mate, take ur time,(better be safe than sorry) put ur question here & ill try to help

I have voodoo installed and obviously I can not disable it (due to boot loop).
Can I still flash a stock rom/kernel?

alright buddy, look. I appreciate any help you may or may not provide to me at this given moment. but what you are doing, is essentially spamming. I'm asking a question on THIS thread, in relation to my problem. I have searched these forums AS WELL AS the internet itself. And granted, I might have overlooked something. But as a community, thats what these forums do. their purpose is to help those who may have overlooked something or perhaps the solution is yet to exist.
By telling me to search, is more counterproductive than for me to post something and not get a reply.
like I said, I appreciate the help, if any, but its best to be a gent about this sort of thing. no one likes a douche bag on the forums.
EDIT:: Those links were completely useless. they're just links from the top of the SGS general page. I'm not an idiot; I've seen and read these threads before. CLEARLY they were of no help. why else why I be here? -___-

Cos you are to f8888 lazy to search or read the FAQS matey .
thousands posting just like you to lazy to search or learn .
Even to ignorant to read the post i sent that would have enabled you to flash a stock rom and clear your problem .
If it good enough for other users then it should be good enough for somebody that does not understand the basics as they are the basics .

*facepalm* the reason your posts did NOT help, is simply because I have already tried those things. And you u bother searching long enough, you will see these "solutions" have bee posted before. except in more detail. I have searched. Heck Ive spent hours and even days on this problem alone. Not only have I searched, but ive managed to read 95% of all forums in full. and no one seems to have a SOLID solution. WHICH is why I've succumb to asking the question myself.
yes. I have flashed various of pit files with various combos of boot-loaders and roms AS required by some users. I have even done some steps individually AS required by some users. The FARTHEST I've gotten with ANY of these procedures was reaching the custom recovery menu. yet once i got that far, tried doing a factory reset and flashing a ROM, it told me some file was missing. Then I was back to square one.
thanks. but no thanks, JJE. ur "help" seems to relate more to typical "n00b bashing" rather than any sort of help at all.

How hard is it?
I would really like to become an Android Developer. Have a some noob questions...
I cut my android teeth on a Samsung Infuse <-Learned to root & flash get hooked on seeing what amazing things my little smartphone could do.
I most recently upgraded my phone to the LG Optimus G.
1st Question maybe a no brainer ... Should I learn to develop for my now unused Infuse or jump straight to the LGOG? I think I know the answer duh... why mess up my good working phone.
I have some knowledge of Linux witch I think will help. Should I learn to develop on a Windows computer or Linux? I am leaning toward the Linux.
Another reason to start with the Samsung is I think source is available and many other ROMs already exist so getting help from these devs may be easier and the only source available from the LG is ICS and everyone seems to want JB.
Looking forward to learning more and getting started.
swub1

1.I'd start with the infuse if you mess something up you still have your new phone
2.If your just theming and messing with already built ROMs and stuff windows is perfered if you want to build from source you will need a 64bit Linux system Ubuntu is nice and can be installed along side windows so that's nice
There is a lot of info in the xda community and learning to build can be fun and agrovating at the same time good luck with it

I also have a question:
How do I include a kernel into the zip of a rom so that when I flash the rom the kernel also gets flashed at the same time.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 with XXLSJ.
Thanks in advanced....

Ahhh. Damn. I believe it's pretty easy. With HTC devices though.. it's gotta be somewhere on the section though. Check XDA Uni. They probably have an answer. Please hit the thanks button. Trying to get more. People can't be bothered to click it these days.

if you open the .zip file for your rom it should have a zimage file that is the kernel so if you want to swap just download a flashable zip of the kernel you want open it and there should be zimage, now put that zimage with the rom you want. you can do this with 7zip just double click to open dont extract the rom zip you can extract the kernel from the the kernel .zip and drag the zimage for th ekernel you want to the opened rom.zip then close and flash

This is why people brick their devices when people that has no idea what their talking about give advice! First of all the kernel in a ROM comes as a boot.img and second you can't just switch out the zimage when their is more than the zimage for it to probably work. You need the modules as well... I would recommend you not give advice unless u either know 100% of what your talking about or don't give advice in these specific forums where noobs lurk and don't know good advice from bad....
Now to answer your question...
You have 2 options if your kernel comes as a boot.img just replace it with the one from the ROM and replace lib/modules from the kernel to the rom, and flash away...
The second option is if your kernel comes in a zimage and the ROM comes as a boot.img then you will have to unpack the boot.img from the rom and then replace the zimage and pack the boot.img but to do that you will need to be in Linux or VirtualBox... This can't be done thru windows, but recently there have been programs that can unpack the boot.img thru windows but I always use Linux.
So post how your kernel comes in either a boot.img or zimage and how the room has its kernel we can help u more after that.

[Q]Walkaround flashing and ulocking bootloader for Root>Unroot

Guys i need to know if its possible to root the phone and unroot / take it back to warranty condition WITHOUT reflashing and unlocking bootloader.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCChDxc2_HE heres what i've found about unroot... but i am not sure in this method will it completely remove root binary and take phone back to warrantyN mode ?

Is it that hard question ?

No, but we get sick and tired of people asking the same questions over and over again because they are too lazy to actually put the effort in to searching and reading properly
Also, don't 'bump' your own thread within 24 hours - read the rules if you're not sure why.

That's the whole idea of a Q&A.. With every new (original) question the knowledge database grows. This allows other people to just search through the threads to find their answer. It's actually an easier way to find answers then creating a new thread, since you don't have to wait for reactions and usually the follow up questions are already elaborately discussed..
On topic: I believe some superusers have an option to unroot? And otherwise just reflashing stock is just as easy.

Alright then i renamed the thread. Because my question is about walkaround reflashing and unlocking bootloader.
Is it possible simply to root and unroot without reflashing and unlocking ?

When you root phone your root file is on system partition and you need to format it If you want to remove root.Hard reset don't format partition so that won't work.Update software should work but I am not sure.SuperS have ability to remove itself so if you root your phone with it you can done it fastest way.Also don't be smartass and mock people who are telling you to search for answer before posting topic and asking for help.It I is not polite.After all you are asking for help from us not the way around.

on topic: So i am on latest 4.1.2 if i force the support tool (from LG) will it reflash the phone with stock frimware after root ?
As i remember i read somewhere that actually it is possible to use some kind of "upgrade recovery" option with this tool which reflash phone.
off topic: Im not playing it smartass i've searched and couldn't find what i need to know. then i posted this thread.
So maybe someone should check if a thread exist actually without beign too lazy. before saying that he's sick of people.
And also renamed my thread to be more suitable to people who will be searching.

simon its too late mate... i renamed my thread alredy and i think you did not read that its about walkaound flashing and unlocking.

@tuncay93 in LG update tool should be option "force update" or something like that.BTW I think easiest method is just to flesh.dz file since it will format system partition for sure and you need only drivers that you must install even if you want to update regularly your software.Download SuperSu it should replace your current root app and then from SuperSu choose "remove SuperSu" .That is all I can think off.

Really? Simon is a long time member and he know what he's talking about. He might sound a bit mean sometimes but he's right!
I for myself created like one thread asking a question and the other things I sorted out myself with brief searching, reading and trying.
This question here has been answered already.
You're asking how to unroot without flashing back the stock ROM or unlocking bootloader.
It has been answered in this thread as well and a search (not just on XDA but on Google as well) would've get you to the same answers.
Simon can't tell you where to post and where not but he does as he is trying to get newer or ignorant XDA members to follow the rules.
And one of those rules is to search.
Not just a five minute look but a brief search even in related threads etc.
You won't learn anything by just asking and asking again but by trying and figuring out yourself.
So please do us a favor and stop posting unnecessary questions.

1.By the first few words you said i suspect that you define the pople by their registration date at XDA.
2. I didn't found answer to my question thats why i made thread. [Ans. It is actually possible SuperSu will remove root [not sure what kind of remove but still....[ Flashing with support tool is the way but is still flashing]
3. I am not ignorant and new at XDA. I am new to 4x HD section. Also without reading and asking you can't learn anything. Thats the point of the forum.
4. And i think it was necessary question. Since i've searched and couldn't find what i needed to know.
Finding related threads about "How to root", "How to unroot" all say just unlock reflash and relock. Why ? I've just find out today that i can simply run support tool and all will be fine. (Also mine is 446-92 FW I'm not sure if relockable yet.)
Also that standing behind someone just because he says few words that he has read at "Rules" In wrong place....
And just because its old member it's not cool mate im sorry but thats what i think.
Now if moderators think this is unnecesery thread can remove it.

Ye thats what i find out today theres walkaround for flashing and unlocking bootloader.
In lg support tool click options then upgrade recovery and you are good to go for warranty or whatever you need it for.

Let's get behind this rules etc thing but if you'd read more about root function and flashing a stock firmware you would've know that root is installed in system and that a simple reflash unroots your system.
That's what I mean with reading and understanding the way your modified android device works.
I don't know if it's just me but I did know nearly everything about root before even bothering to root my device just in case if something goes wrong I exactly know what to do.
The answers are out there. Most questions can be solved by searching but many users don't do it or they don't have enough knowledge of Android to understand the given output of their searches.
And no I don't define people by their registration date but by the way they post on XDA.
And I'm not supporting Simon because he has said a few words about rules. I'm supporting him because he's been a long time member and follows the rules.
And sorry but if somebody is criticizing your thread in a forum like XDA and you're responding with "STFU" shows me that you're ignorant and lacking respect.
The fact that Simon is doing this is to keep people from posting 10 threads about the same question (like they tend to do) but search and know what they are doing.
The problem with the community is that most new users just follow tutorials but don't know what to do if something goes wrong (and believe me there always will be something that goes wrong) and then they create threads like "help I bricked my 4X HD".
Like I said if you'd know what rooting actually does inside your device you'd know what to do with information you get when you search for unroot.
Let's assume you are a new user and you now install SuperSU and somehow it messes something up.
What will you do? Do you know enough to mess with an android device? I really don't want you to take it personal but that's the way you should think about it.
And I have one question: Why do you want to unroot your device without reflashing stock firmware and think that unlocking boot loader would be necessary to unroot?
(and just one hint: it's not "walkaround" but workaround what you mean I guess)

Let's get behind this rules etc thing but if you'd read more about root function and flashing a stock firmware you would've know that root is installed in system and that a simple reflash unroots your system.
That's what I mean with reading and understanding the way your modified android device works.
I don't know if it's just me but I did know nearly everything about root before even bothering to root my device just in case if something goes wrong I exactly know what to do.
The answers are out there. Most questions can be solved by searching but many users don't do it or they don't have enough knowledge of Android to understand the given output of their searches.
And no I don't define people by their registration date but by the way they post on XDA.
And I'm not supporting Simon because he has said a few words about rules. I'm supporting him because he's been a long time member and follows the rules.
And sorry but if somebody is criticizing your thread in a forum like XDA and you're responding with "STFU" shows me that you're ignorant and lacking respect.
The fact that Simon is doing this is to keep people from posting 10 threads about the same question (like they tend to do) but search and know what they are doing.

Okey I know what Root is. I have been rooting and unlocking all my phones i've used to switch roms. (I know that reflashing is the solution)
But the problem is as i said my 4x HD isn't EUR-XXX it's 446-92 (Asian one i suspect)
So unlocking is possible but couldn't really find info about relocking.
And i was in need of workaround as you said (My english is not good) Because my power button its not responsive and the phone still has warranty and that button its going to brick it keeps going more and more unresponsive.
So i didn't wanted to unlock and reflash because i may void my warranty in that case i still need it.

You don't need to unlock anything in order to reflash the stock firmware with LG Support Tool.
That's what I was talking about. You don't know this because you didn't read enough about this device.
And about your warranty: if you'd search in that topic you may acknowledge that rooting doesn't void your warranty in most places as long as the failure (in your case the power button) isn't related to the slight software modification.

Ye but i know here in my country all warranty providers are just looking for something that may void it and just root will void it i am sure.
But never thought support tool works after rooting or modification on software. i did not even think about searching for that you are right now.

Important!????

Hi
How I can install twrb without root ?
Thx

Ok.... dumb question... have you even done your research or even looked through the forum?
Reason I ask is because you can find the answer to your question rather easily if you did one of the 2 I mentioned above. Googling it also gives you the answer to your question.
