I had the OCLF 2.0 lagfix installed for a while now... Today I decided to unroot my phone.... So I ran OCLF again. From bottom to top, I began reverting back to the previous unroot state. However, both the install and remove lagfix options was disabled (greyed out). It said no lagfix appeared to have been installed, even though it was. So I unrooted my phone. No issues but now, how do I know what file system is being used ? I want to go back to the official RFS filesystem, and not use EXT3. Also, I noticed that before rooting and lagfix, I had around 1.5 GB free space in my ROM. After lagfix, it was around 600 MB. It is the same now. Please advise... Thank you!

I am sure there is a solution but I ended up restoring from recovery a nandroid prior to that fix. The 1.0 fix on that app. Works fine I will stay away from 2.0 for now

So you're suggesting I should just go ahead and do a factory reset ?
after the factory reset
if you have the 16GB version, you should see 13.8 GB free space

I'm not talking about internal sdcard memory, but about the 2GB ROM. OCLF reserved ~700MB of my ROM to apply the lagfix. After that, I was unable to uninstall it. What I want is to:
1. Get rid of the lagfix
2. Recover lost memory
3. Revert to RFS filesystem from EXT3 (or whatever it is that OCLF uses..)
Bump... Please help!
U have to flash ur firmware thru odin again as that is the only way out. U cud try factory reset first.

Thank you! Guess I'll do the factory reset when froyo arrives, just before updating to froyo...
You can root, then delete the /data/oclf folder manually to get your space back.
Finally, unroot again. 5 mins max.

Thanks! I'll try this now... Hope my phone won't get jacked by manually removing OCLF like that ? If it wasn't properly installed in the first place, wouldn't that mean there's still a chance I'm on the OCLF ext3 filesystem instead of stock RFS ? How can I definitively know what FS my phone is currently on, so as to know if the OCLF is still in effect or not ?
Do a few runs of quadrant. If it's under 1000, it's on RFS. If it's over 1500 (1700 really) you're on ext2

Well, the phone scored ~870 ( isn't that a bit TOO low ?) in quadrant. Guess I'm on RFS after all... Will go ahead and scrap the OCLF data now.. Thanks!

can't seem to find that folder... There is however /data/ext2 containing linux.ex2 file which is about 877MB in size. Is that the OCLF file ? Or am I missing something here ?
Yes, that's the one.

How can I know if the file is still being utilized or not ?
If the system is using RFS, it should be okay to delete the file. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to reflash your firmware, but i highly doubt it'l come to that.
Deleted. Thank you guys!
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...

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.

I ended up reverting to Eclair and flashing Cognition4 for the time being. It's as close to bone stock Official Froyo from Samsung as it gets. That and I didn't check back and see your post before I had begun flashing Cognition4... lol.
Was anyone else successful? Original poster, how'd it go, did the above mentioned OneClicker work for ya?
Yeah, i one click rooted my 2.2 Captivate earlier today. No problems at all.
Cool...
I wonder why just placing the Update.zip on the Internal SD, booting into recovery <3e>, and reinstalling the update doesn't work??
I had tried that method as well and still got the signature error stop.
Oh well...

You can use this modded recovery to install things with 3e, or enable the use of CWM.

Hey guys, how can I update my n1 from 7.0.2.1
to 7.0.3 without formating my phone?
Thanks
Just flash the rom over the top, make a backup first though.

You normally only need to format between major revisions, it CM6 to CM7 to CM8. To update to 7.0.3, you just flash the file like normal, and if you are using ROM Manager, just don't select the wipe option.
But as others have said, make sure you backup before you flash. Ideally, you should be able to upgrade without a problem, but unfortunately, we don't always live in an ideal world. Better to be safe than sorry. That way if the flash doesn't work out, you can just revert to your backup.
