Hi,
i have been trying to install voodo lagfix on my galaxy s, it is running froyo. I have followed the instructions on the voodoo website to install stable 5.0 for froyo, i don't understand what odin is, (and the website says this is only for people who know what they're doing) so i downloaded the second of the 2 available for froyo. I then changed the name of the zip folder to update, and put this inside a folder called sd card on the root of the internal sd. When i do the 3 button reset i load the file but i get an error saying ths:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip No such file or directory E:signature verification failed Installation aborted voodoo
Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this questions been here before.
Cheers.
odin is a tool used to flash the phone with - you use it with the phone in Download Mode (turn on the phone while holding volume down + home key) and you follow the instructions that come with the custom roms/kernel patches/etc to load the correct files with it
you put update.zip in the root of the internal sd card, not in the 'sd card' folder (which is the external sd card)
Thanks for the reply,
I have just tried putting the update.zip file in the root of the internal sd card but still get an error when doing the reboot.
I have just read elsewhere that it is impossible to install the lagfix on froyo without rooting it, (could someone confirm this?) It does say on the voodoo website that you don't need to flash, although this might only apply to earlier versions.
Thanks again.

Update:
Just read that it can't be done the update.zip method on froyo because of something to do with 3e, so just did it with odin in the end, was a simple painless process.
One more question though, I ran a quadrant test and got about 1400. Does this seem about right?
Cheers.

Hi there, just got a new galaxy s running FROYO. read your threads but still could not exactly get it. I have rooted my mobile with Z4root and now want to install voodoo lagfix. I have downloaded voodoo from its site the whole package and copied it in my mobile in SD folder but still can not get the voodoo installed after re booting, getting the same message E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip No such file or
directory E:signature verification failed Installation aborted voodoo
First can you explain how to copy the voodoo package in the ROOT OF SD?
Secondly as u wrote, ODIN is the right way. can u please guide me step by step on how to install voodoo by this method.
I would really appreciate your detailed response.
Thanks & Regards.
please i would really like to know what this voodoo does............... will it change ur stock rom or just speeds up the system.................whats the importance???????
So I rooted my phone using the SuperOneClick method, and got my superuser app and everything but when I try to run Barnacle Wifi Tether, Superuser never prompts, and Barnacle complains that I haven't rooted my phone.
So I go into the preferences of Superuser snooping around to see whats wrong, and I come across (under the general tab) Su binary vnull. I tap it to check for updates and it goes like this:
Working...
Downloading manifest... okay!
Parsing manifest... okay!
Latest version = 3.0.3
Checking installed version = legacy
So it says at the top new version of su binary found.
Update now?
I tap update and this happens:
Working...
Fixing database... okay!
Checking for busybox... okay!
Checking current install path... /system/bin/su
Downloading new binary... okay!
Checking md5sum... fail!
I can keep tapping try again over and over but it never really gets past that step sooo, I'm stuck. I was hoping someone could help me out? If you can't, thanks for reading. If you can, I'd appreciate it very much! I live out in the middle of nowhere with no such thing as internet (other than what I can hardwire tether) and all I want to do is connect my Wii to the wifi on my phone.
I have the same problem. A work around is this...
You can download the appropriate su binary here...
androidsu.com/superuser
Then, flash it through recovery. It should update the binary no problem. However, it does not correct the problem. At least you'll have an updated binary.
If someone else knows what the problem is, that would be helpful in easier updates in the future.
Thanks for the quick reply! Though, can you explain what you mean by "flash it through recovery"? That's the only terms I'm not familiar with regarding this. Thanks again!
You need to use Clockwork Mod Recovery.
1) Install Rom Manger from the market.
2) Open up Rom Manger and install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Choose the appropriate phone model.
3) Reboot into recovery from Rom Manager.
4) Flash update using zip.
5) Select appropriate zip.
6) Reboot
How do I install Clockwork Mod Recovery? Where? Sorry if I'm asking to many questions.

Yes, I'm reading.
I'm no stranger to modding phones. Just android OS'. No need for the big red lettering.
I downloaded ROM Manager. There is no option within this app to download and install this Clockwork Recovery Mod.
There is a button that says, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and underneath it says, "You must have the ClockworkMod Recovery installled to flash and restore ROMS"
But being that I've explained that I'm unfamiliar with the terminology, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" Doesn't sound the same as installing. Is that the button I should tap?
has anyone found a easy solution for this? i rooted my X10i on 2.3.3 stock and could update binary fine before now i've flashed DooMLoRD's v06 1113MHz overclocked kernel and flashed the RevolutionHD ROM im having problems updating my binary it says
Downloading manifest... okay!

Checking installed version = 2.3.2-efgh

Failed to find currently installed su binary. update cannot continue
im guessing that means i have not got any su binary atall?

I'm having the same message as TC. I'm on a SGH-T679 right now which doesn't have a version of CWM available for it yet (at least its not listed in ROM Manager). Any other way to install it? Can I just use ADB to push it to it?
Sorry buddy

I am with you buddy. That is one thing I have noticed with people familiar with programming, they seem to be oblivious when providing steps because many of their steps include further steps they simply view as inherent and fail to explain in depth. His steps do not clearly define what needs to be done to those not familiar. Of course they tend to get mad more often and say "If you don't understand you should't be messing with it anyways!" or something, unfortunately. I have been looking for a few hours hoping to find someone who not only knows how to do this, but is also familiar with technical writing, which is hard to do on this site surprisingly haha.

Although I imagine you may have figured this out by now -- yes, in this case (and I find it hard to believe that anyone who's familiar with modding phones wouldn't infer this) you're being expected to understand that "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" would install it to your phone. Press that button and then follow the rest of the directions that several people have already given you in plain english.

This question has nothing to do with "programming" knowledge or talking in obtuse technical terminology -- it's just the basic assumption that if someone has found the XDA-Developers forum and has rooted their phone, they typically don't have to be told that flashing something to their phone installs it.
Same issue
I have the exact same issue as the Taplamp.
Here are the steps I have tried with the same issue -
1. When running SU Bionary update, it fails @ Md5sum.
2. SU Update Fixer Fails @ Root access.
3. Installed Clockworkmod failed to install/run because "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
4. recovery will boot up fine, however, when trying to load Update.zip, fails and aborts install (without clockworkmod installed) - figures!
5. Resetting catch and wiping memory and reactivating the phone will allow it to work for a few seconds then starts failing.
6. I went to the source and got the updated information on androidsu.com/superuser but when trying to flash it fails.
I may aim to flash my phone via RSD Lite but if anyone has any ideas, I am open to try.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have two rooted droid's, both the same phone. Would it be possible to copy/paste the files on the working one over the one failing?
I would try this, however I am at work.
Does not work with CWM flashing...
I have the same problem: "md5sum...fail".
I tried with "su update fixer" and also with "CWM". No success.
Can anyone help us please?
I figured it out ! WORKS 100%
What you have to do:
1. Download & install BusyBox.
2. Open BusyBox and inside the program make the update (it will show you the update, don't worry)
3. After the update is finished, try to update superuser md5sum.
4. ENJOY !!! This is how simple it worked for me!
Hit a thanks for me...
track13 - That method worked for me, so thankyou!
For the record the steps I completed were:
(1) Install Busybox from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result)
(2) Re-ran the Superuser (SU) update
That's it!

I do appreciate the effort that you've put forth in finding a solution and I can see that you've helped a couple of other users as well! Awesome.
Unfortunately though, by the time I came back to the xda-developers forums I've been trying to figure out how to remove all traces of root and removing the Superuser.apk because the only reason I originally wanted to root was to freely use wireless tethering apps, but since FoxFi's release, I've lost the need for it.
So now I'm trying to get rid of Superuser because I've got an upgrade in a few months and I'd like to trade this device in towards credit, anyone got experience with this?
Thanks again, track13.

Ok so I know this thread has been dead for a while but I just wanted you and anyone else out there in the realm of this question and goal to know barnacle or any other tether like it that creates an adhoc network to share it's connection can't be used on a wii, wii is incapable of joining an adhoc wifi network, so you'll need to find another wifi solution anyhow.

Hi:
Following gtg465x's instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881, I updated my stock recovery to modded 3e recovery. However, continuing with the update for ClockworkMod Receovery, I see a failure.
Here's what I see when I try to "apply update from sdcard":
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
It appears the 3e recovery I have isn't modded, and hence is still trying to verify the signature. I've tried downloading the (modded) 3e recovery a couple of times, just to make sure I'm getting the right one.
Interestingly, I don't have a file called recovery in /system/bin, but I do have one in / and one in /sbin. What gives?
I am on GINGERBREAD.UCKL2.
Any suggestions?

Edit: Sorry didn't see the end of your post. I always install cwm right away before I flash another rom.
Hi:
Tried exactly that. Unfortunately, didn't do the trick for me. I wonder if it's perhaps because of those extra recovery files in / and /sbin. Is it safe to delete them?

can't be done on gb, you're trying a froyo proceesure.
kl2 is even worse cuz its hard to root. you need a custom kernel. how did you getroot anyway?
If he still had root, sgs flasher will work.
If not, heimdall one click defuse kernel in dl mode?
Would odin entropy also give you recovery to flash other ROM?

yes that all would work. but defuse is froyo so it is temporary so a gb kernel in a cwm package must be on the sdcard first to flash the phone back to a bootable state. kernel flasher will backup the kernel on the phone and make it cwm flashable, but if you have kernel flasher there is no need for defuse. defuse oneclick is a means to an end on gb. it's only foe the purpose of getting cwm to flash something else.
I had this problem just a few minutes ago things how I did it... First use root explorer down load the mod 3e place it in the system folder in the bin ( I didn't see it with astro but root I did) I renamed the recover in there as recoveryold then place the new recovery in there. Now make sure the permission the same as the original.. Now once that done just back out and close root manager... Goto to rom manager go into reboot into recovery. Then once it reboots cycle down to were it says install repackage (or something like that). Choose that option you may have to do it a few times.. I did but it worked... So then you should have cwm?.. Hope that helps

Did you extract the recovery from the .zip or renamed the .zip recovery.zip? i extracted the recovery from the zip and placed it in the system/bin and made sure the permissions were correct. Then in cwm i booted into recovery. then phone froze when i tried to do an android back up. And yes i have froyo 2.2.1

You need root to install a custom ROM in all phones. This post might be helpful:
eMJaaay said:
Firstly you need root. Then you have to move a custom recovery to your phone's /system to allow you to install unsigned packages. You can do this using root explorer (paid app, but its the most simple and easy way of doing it) or you can do it using. You also need to have a custom recovery file, the update.zip which when you hit reinstall packages (given you pushed the custom recovery file to the phone's system) would bring up clockworkmod recovery. In clockworkmod recovery, there are many options, one of them being mounts and storages. Going on to that option will bring up your mounts and storages, where the most important one you need to check is SYSTEM which should always say UNMOUNT. If it says MOUNT SYSTEM, click on it and it should say UNMOUNT SYSTEM.
For ROOT, use SuperOneClick. You can download the file here -> link (scroll to the end of the post). I used version 2.2 and everything worked fine. Look at this guide by ayoteddy for more information -> link. You need to choose psneuter as your exploit. Windows detects this app as a virus so make sure all your anti-virus / firewall software is off. If it doesn't work, try and try again. Change USB cables and try some more!
Read the noob guide here -> link. Its REALLY good and gives you a step by step of how to root / get custom recovery and install custom ROM.
Go here -> link. For more in depth information about getting a custom recovery. And here -> link. for Krylon's recovery files (links on his thread aren't all working).
I recently rooted and got custom recovery and installed a fresh ROM (GOV 3.2) and all I can say is, be patient and follow everything step by step and you'll be fine. I'll also advise you to partition your SD card BEFORE installing a ROM just to be safe, because I've heard some people having issues with it. I did it and had no problem, but again I don't know if this is a placebo or actually helped. After installation / rebooting, etc ... don't touch your phone for a couple of minutes. If you reply in the appropriate threads, I'm sure someone will help you out if it doesn't work.

When it gives that message it usually means you haven't correctly pushed recovery to your /system. You can only push recovery after you have successfully rooted (get a free root checking app from the Play Store to check). Once you've rooted, you need to push the recovery file you get after you extract the recovery zip from the download links I've sent. You can move it from the root of your SD card to your phone using adb or root apps such as root explorer (very simple, but its a paid app). You also need to download the update.zip file from the link I sent (same place you downloaded the recovery file) and put it at the root of your SD card (don't unzip it). That should work!
Ok thanks . I'm going to try this now.
This is a DEV thread, this is not yet working
This is a stock ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Discover SGH-S730M in flashable zip format. This ROM has exactly 4 modifications; it's rooted, it's deodexed, it's overclocked to 1 ghz, and it has busybox installed. Other than that this ROM is completely stock. Even so, I welcome you to the first available ROM for the samsung galaxy discover to my knowledge. Hopefully this will encourage others to make their own custom ROMs for this device, as this ROM is now here as a base for anyone who wants to use it. Flashing instructions and download link below.
Instructions:
1. reboot into cwm / twrp, whichever you use
2. full wipe (do not come with issues if you dirty flashed)
3. install zip.
4. Enjoy!

I redo the operation of booting with vol+ and power button. I try apply update from external storage...but it doesnt works. So i rename the file, update.zip. And redo booting. But it doesnt work. So i dont know what to do. You specify a method ( reboot into cwm...), but i dont know how to do it. So...

Not sure, haven't tried to install this yet, BUT when in recovery, given you have a custom recovery installed, you shouldn't be trying to "apply update from zip" you should be selecting "install from zip". If you are using a stock recovery, you won't be able to flash a ROM. You need to flash a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm using Odin from a PC.

This is a stock ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Discover SGH-S730M in flashable zip format. This ROM has exactly 4 modifications; it's rooted, it's deodexed, it's overclocked to 1 ghz, and it has busybox installed. Other than that this ROM is completely stock. Even so, I welcome you to the first available ROM for the samsung galaxy discover to my knowledge. Hopefully this will encourage others to make their own custom ROMs for this device, as this ROM is now here as a base for anyone who wants to use it. Flashing instructions and download link below.
Instructions:
1. reboot into cwm / twrp, whichever you use
2. full wipe (do not come with issues if you dirty flashed)
3. install zip.
4. Enjoy!

I have this old gem of a phone and have been looking forever for a custom ROM. Don't know where you pulled the stock from as I've been trying to dump it off the phone unsuccessfully to mod with Android kitchen. I'll flash this and update with my results
I get
Code:
E: Error in /sdcard/STOCK-overclocked-deodexed-rooted-S730m.zip (Status 255)
Installation aborted.
Using CWM 6.0.2.8

I'm definitely interested in developing a custom ROM for this phone. I bought this phone nearly two years ago, and although I have since upgraded, I seem to always have use it as a back up when my t989 has issues. I know there is a ton of demand for a custom ROM for this phone. I was reading a bunch about META-INF folders and Android kitchen for developing a ROM without having a current base to work with. I'll look into it a bunch more throughout the week, this weekend etc. See if I can get a flashable zip after deodexing and overclocking using the thread the OP of this one used. I read on another forum, after googling "cwm status 255" that this has to do with the updated-binary file in the META-INF folder. The suggestion that worked for the op of that thread was to take the updated-binary file from another flashable zip (for the same phone) and use it to replace the updated-binary file in the zip giving the 255 error. So I took the file from the deodexing zip for this phone and replaced it, not expecting it work, but just to see. Cwm no longer gives the 255 code, but still aborts the installation, with no code given. So it seems this very well could be a start.

Did you pull your META-INF folder from this thread
I'm thinking the ARM binary is different from x86, so the updater-binary file is what's causing the problem

That may very well be it, I'm gonna change it and reupload
Check back in a bit. Appreciate the help
I used the same meta-inf that I use for my tab 3 10.1 work, I just changed the partition table to fit this phone. I never really thought about the x86 vs arm argument, may definitely play a role
I just threw together a flashable zip of this rom quickly on android kitchen. I used the META-INF folder from the thread I previously linked to. It's been deodexed and rooted, but I didn't bother with the overclock. Once we can get a flashable zip that works, i figure we'll go from there. I'm going to flash it to the phone now, and see if it will complete and boot.
I'm getting a status 0 error code. I'm going to rebuild without converting to edify. Will update
Hi Restl3sss, can you doing new ROM without overclock, it's more safe. And it's possible used tools later (ex: No-Frills CPU control) for try overclock if people want live dangerously . ty for your great work.

The overclock is built into the kernel, clocks it from 800mhz to 1000mhz, any one who wants to run it without the higher clock, can just use any CPU control app and set the max to 800.
Without modding the kernel you actually can't overclock past 800mhz using any CPU control app.

The Tab 3 runs on intel and the discover runs on ARM.
From everything I can find this is definitely the problem. Although just replacing the binary itself, and rebuilding hasn't seemed to accomplish anything other than no longer giving the error code. Just aborts. I've read your updater-script and none of the ui messages show up or anything from within that script during install.
@Restl3ss I swapped out the binary from another flashable zip for the same phone, from within the kitchen using your flashable zip. Kept your updater script and other than that the only other change was I zipaligned. I rebuilt it, flashed it. The install doesn't abort, and completed. But none of your ui code from script appears during install, and nothing actually installed to the phone, it just boots straight into recovery. Since I have no idea how to decipher what I'm reading in the binary using notepad++, I'll leave it to your expertise to sort out the rest. I'm only just getting into this developing bit and so far have reached my limit of what I can help you with, as far as getting a base to flash and install successfully. I tried to get a report using adb logcat after it kept booting into recovery but the log remained empty.

x86 binary was used. Solutions are being looked at. I managed to rebuild it with another binary, and it completed the flash, but nothing was successfully moved to the system partition. It's in the works tho

do you know if the boot image successfully flashed? if so I might have the partition table wrong for system.
if boot flashed successfully you should be able to set your cpu to 1000 mhz

I pulled the recovery log using adb, and according to the log, the boot.img flashed. But I'll have to check the phone tmrw. Because it said it completed, I believed it, so to be sure I formatted the system folder and data/cache, re flashed, and nothing installed. Your partition table is right tho. Mmcblk0p8 for boot, p16 for system and p18 for data, it's all what it should be. I'll restore my stock cwm back up tmrw, re flash the zip and see if I can set the clock to 1000mhz. If you want, I'll pull as much info I can from the phone partition table, and pm you. To me it's a mystery as to why it won't boot. I'll send the error log and whatever I can gather as well. If I don't get around to it tmrw, it'll be Thursday night
