Good one for backing up, many people wouldn't bother. <br /><br />I haven't looked into Gingerbread and Voodoo yet, but it looks like dl.project-voodoo.org has all the kernels you need. I'll do some searching on it to, I might make another post on it. <br /><br />If Gingerbread isn't available to you through Kies yet (like me) check out www.darkyrom.com. Even if you don't want to run their full custom rom they have stock Gingerbread roms with Voodoo included ready for download. I ran Darky's Rom for a while, its very very good/fast and the forum community is awesome. <br /><br />As for system backup's the only system/app I've used it ROM Manager http://t.co/NO9XR5L (which I paid for). It's worked perfectly every time. It's the only system I can recommend, I haven't had much exposure to anything else.<br /><br />On a stock ROM and kernel it will require root access and it will flash the recovery so it can work its magic. The only tip I can think of is remember to copy the Clockwork fold from your SD card after its done. I've forgotten to do that a couple of times before formatting, which was silly.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Gushttp://www.iammacgyver.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15889291.post-48249648726483212362011-07-18T03:05:45.636+10:002011-07-18T03:05:45.636+10:00hi gus thanks for the tips,

I am wondering if it might work better by changing rom to gingerbread and then trying the voodoo fix from there.<br /><br />I think i should do a full system backup first though as it seems like i might have to wipe the phone to get things to work.<br /><br />do you have any tips on doing a full system backup ?life_is_fractalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15889291.post-4500953664494647222011-07-18T01:10:51.238+10:002011-07-18T01:10:51.238+10:00Oh not cool, but I definitely think its fixable.
...Oh not cool, but I definitely think its fixable. <br /><br />Double buzz usually/could mean a process has frozen, which isn't a good sign at boot. <br /><br />Ok, trying to avoid a factory reset the first thing that comes to mind is disabling Voodoo lag fix in recovery mode (access by the "three button recovery" on the galaxy s). This involves powering the phone down completely (pull the battery for a few seconds just to make sure), then while pressing and holding both the 'home button' (centre bottom) and 'volume up' buttons press and hold the power button. <br />While holding those three buttons wait for the screen to turn on. Once the Galaxy S boot screen appears you can release the power button but keep holding the volume up and the home button. The phone should boot into the 'clockwork recoverymod 2.5..... voodoo lag fix' (release all buttons as soon as this appears). <br /><br />If you cant seem to get into this menu your Galaxy S may be one of the many (like mine) that was shipped with a broken three button recovery. Let me know if this is the case, I'll give you some more suggestions. <br /><br />If the phone boots into a differently named recovery mode let me know. <br /><br />When you are in the recovery be very careful as you can easily soft brick your phone. <br /><br />Using the volume buttons to move the selection and single clicking the power button to make the selection move down and select voodoo lagfix at the bottom of the menu. Then select disable lagfix, which should be confirmed in the information area at the bottom of the menu. Then select ++++++Go Back+++++, and then select restart the phone. If all goes well you phone should reboot, remove the mod, and then boot into the phone like normal. <br /><br />If that's the case Id say something was stopping your phone from properly converting the partition (obviously :b) and you will need to completely factory reset the phone (enabling voodoo lagfix in recovery after the reset) before trying again. <br /><br />If that isn't the case I have a few other things you can try (although most include factory resetting sorry). <br /><br />I hope that works for you, and I hope that made sense :) its very early morning here and I haven't had any caffeine yet.

I followed the steps except for the root process, because i had done that in the past aleady when changing to froyo, and already had a superuser prog installed although not the one you suggest.<br /><br />anyway when rebooting i get the female voice, saying what's being done, but the phone doesn't stay on the first screen for the said three mins and the female voice doesn't give me a remaining time. instead the phone proceeds to continue booting. but never really gets there all i get is a blank screen with half the taskbar at the top and every 30 seconds to a minute a get a buzz and then a double buzz.I tried rebooting the phone and the same thing happens, going round in circles unil the batt runs out. do you think this this is fixable, and if so what would you recommend. i'm prepared to get my fingers dirty but would like to not have to do a factory rest if possible.<br /><br />thanks in advance life_is_fractalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15889291.post-75602553172914749712011-05-18T21:04:03.723+10:002011-05-18T21:04:03.723+10:00Yeah a lot of friends have said the same thing.
