I was reading forums about lag fix.
I wanna install one but it seems like possibility of bricking phone after installing lag fix is higher in I9000M (Bell model) than any other galaxy s models.
Is there reason for it? Can anyone share their experiences?
Also, I read somewhere that JH2 fixes the lag. Is that true?
I was doing benchmark but never got past 950 with quadrant....
I had no problem with OCLF until I did an upgrade of th app trought android market. Then OCLF didn't recognise that I had a lag fix install and I tried the option to repair the fix and it made my phone lag like hell. Then I tried to flash and repartition with odin to wipe this but I surelly made something wrong cause it bricked the phone. I had to buy another one used over kijiji.
Been using OCLF since then and I didn't had any other problem. I even uninstall it completly a few hours ago cause i want to try froyo. I think it's safe but don't try the repair option ever and try to install and uninstall the fix with the same version of the OCLF to avoid recognition problem.

Sorry i didnt really get how you bricked yours. So were you upgrading any app with lag fix? Do you mean you shouldnt upgrade any app after you installed lag fix? So to upgrade, i should uninstall any app completely then re-install new version?
Thats one downside....
I'm not sure how I bricked my phone but it's related to the re-partition option in odin and me flashing a froyo firmware. I did this with XXJPH and it was after the problem with OCLF.
What I'm sure of, is that OCLF (the app from the market) didn't recognise that my phone had a lagfix and didn't allow me to un-lag fix it. So I tried the option to repair the ext2 tools and it failed. After that the phone was really lagy and a lot of forced close happened. That why I wanted to repartition with an odin flash.
The probleme is that I tried with the only firmware (at the moment) that requires to never use this option. I should have tried to go back to UGJH2.
For OCLF i'm gonna try something. I have an update showing in the market so i'm going to install the lag fix whit my application and then I'll do the update to see if it can still see the lagfix. Maybe it was my fault in the first place. You'll have feedback in 5 min.
Ok I confirm that everything is working fine. See screenshot. I don't know what was the problem I had but it seems to work fine and there is no problem to recognise the lagfix once updated.
Hi, my SGS is now running Froyo, and all apps and settings are restored. I thought that I should reinstall OCLF 2 again to maybe get some more juice from the file system, and after installing from Market and rooting the device everything seemed fine. But during installation of the actual Lagfix, I noticed an error during the "dd" command (unable to mount device, device busy, or something like that). I was offered to send the log to the developers which I did. I tried to run it again, but get the same error message. But this time the device was hanging hard and nothing I did made the error screen go away. So I removed the battery and restarted the phone. Now when I enter the OCLF app, I can only select the "Unroot device". Both "One click lagfix" and "Undo one click lagfix" are red and not selectable.
If I look (with Linda filemanager) in the root filesystem, there are two zero length files, /dbdata and /data, both created at the time that I tried to apply the lagfix. Do I dare to remove these to and see if they are causing the deadlock?

Try removing your SD card, and then run the OCLF
If OCLF can't remove the lagfix you'll have to flash a firmware with Odin and repartition you'r internal sdcard at the same time. Just be carefull and chose a firmware that you can use to option to repartition with. Usualy all the 2.1 firmware are compatible with this option.
Then flash back with your desired froyo firmware and try CF root before you start OCLF. OCLF should not be use to root 2.2 device maybe your problem was caused by this but I doubt it.
I used OCLF with XXJPM without any problem but I flashed JPM over a clean 2.1 firmware (fresh flash with repartition option and no apps install).
Did not help. Do/Undo both still red.
I will first find a tool to backup all settings and apps before trying a re-flash. The question now is - is it worth to go through all this just to get OCLF up and running.

Definitely!! Try Titanium Backup. It can backup all your apps and data attached. Moreover it'll be able to re-install them without prompting you for every apps. You just start the backup before the flashing and start the restore after and let it go by itself. But be carefull to backup only user apps if you go from 2.1 to 2.2 or vice versa as it's gonna cause a lot of force close if you try to backup and restore system apps that are not right for your android version.
I'm running with OCLF and I can assure you that you won't regret. No more black screen before you launch an app. Installation and or uninstallation are almost instant so your update are done faster over the market.
I have been trying to resolve this issue for a day now. I flashed to 2.2 Froyo, unlocked and rooted my Stock Rogers Samsung Captivate. Everything is working fine, I started downloaded all my favourite apps back when I had stock firmware. A few hours into using my phone, I noticed apps that I used to be able to find weren't showing up. I am not sure if it is related, but I noticed this after removing bloatware with titanium backup.
I installed following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861103
After searching forums for hours, the solution seemed simple, modifying a line of code in the build.prop file and overwriting the old one. I have tried this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
with no luck. I decided to reflash the 2.2 rom as I assumed removing the bloat ware was the cause, but I am still having the same market issues.
I am not sure where to go from here, did anyone experience similar problems? Any possible solutions? I really want DBZ scouter back

Im trying to find the Cognition Odin install but its not on the site, the site only has the ROM files. I would ideally want to install with rom manage as it would be a lot easier but my market is so messed up its not even showing up when i search it.

you dont need to install rom manager
put the update.zip on your sdcard and reboot to recovery....
reinstall packages (it will reboot, just reinstall packages again)
you will now be in clockwork
install zip from sdcard, and point to the rom

Thank you so much for the zip file, everything went smoothly. I liked the voice telling me how much time each process would take. However, when I searched the app store for DBZ scouter it still cant find it, or any other paid apps! This is getting really frustrating. Should I give it a few minutes/hours for the paids apps to show up? I am enjoying the rom though, very smooth compared to the stock ones.
It looks like I'm not the only one

I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened the same time I unlocked my phone.. heh. Well now I can finally go back to studying for exams
Moved to Q&A.
I rooted my phone (I think) using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe (I think). Looking at the phone with SUPER MANAGER the ENABLE ROOT function is NOT checked off. Does that mean my phone is not rooted? Is there another way of telling if my phone is rooted? I read somewhere that you need an unrooted phone in order to get the AT&T froyo 2.2 which hopefully will be released any day now. If I need the phone unrooted to get the update is there an easy way to unroot it that will not wipe out my programs and data?
Thanks for any help.

OK. I probably did not run that program. But how can I tell if a phone is rooted or not? And is it true that your phone has to be unrooted in order to update to 2.2? thanks

Ummmmm did you or didn't you run that program while in download mode? If you are unsure about that then I suggest you stop trying to mod your phone for a while and do some reading.
As far as being unrooted, no one knows. But I can tell you I plain don't care about an official release from att. I will continue to use roms that are developed by folks around here. they are better than anything that att can put out.

Pirate, I have been a member here for a long time, & been doing a lot of reading since I got this phone. I have never seen so many people get bricked and that scares me. I tried to root the phone just in order to make backups....I am a backup freek and for good reason. My last phone was the DASH 3G (still have it). I got the HTC Windows phone but only kept it a couple of weeks before realizing how far it has to go. The Captivate is definitely a lot better than anything i have ever had and it does not seem necessary to flash it in order to get all the nice apps running. I will be happy with the AT&T update if it ever appears. I have spent the past few weeks customizing the Captivate and will post my homescreen and a list of apps I am using.

Is there a way to unroot that will not erase all of my work?
How did you know its coming any day now.
first of all, 2.2 is not coming soon....
second of all, you ARE rooted
third of all, doesn't matter if you "unroot" (although you dont really seem to be a candidate for rooting anyway)...because once you're rooted or once you change the existing software (which you did with the program you listed in the first post between the "i thinks"), you negate the ability to recieve over-the-air updates from at&t
not that ANY of this matters, because the second those firmwares hit at&t phones it will be here and available to flash
not to mention we already have 2.2 available unrooted (the leaked version (might be different))
if you want me to send you the one-click ODIN file to flash stock 2.2 let me know
So it's a confirmed fact that rooted phones can't get the OTA updates?
nope only that some people have reports that they have not been able to update after they try and use atts update....

Thanks for your offer! I would love 2.2. Someone on this board said he works for AT&T said the update was coming on the 19th....guess not ))
I need to ask a few questions about applying the update:
1. Does my home screen get reset?
2. Do I have to download all of my apps again?
3. If so, does the phone remember which apps I downloaded from Marketplace?
4. I assume that any backups i did would not apply to the new 2,2
4. Anything i should know as far as what is and is not included in the update?
thanks whitesox....I'll be keeping a eye on this thread.
Sorry Whitesox - I'm REALLY REALLY BORED at work today - hence all the forum spamming today
I need to ask a few questions about applying the update:
1. Does my home screen get reset?
Yes
2. Do I have to download all of my apps again?
Unless you had them backed up somehow (say using Titanium Backup) - then yes.
3. If so, does the phone remember which apps I downloaded from Marketplace?
Possibly - but if your using a Custom ROM? I've found that only those I have purchased show up under the Market and I had to hunt them all down again.
4. I assume that any backups i did would not apply to the new 2,2
Not necessarily true - for Apps/Data you should be fine restoring. But I wouldn't recommend restoring any type of System Data as it would conflict with the update.
5. Anything i should know as far as what is and is not included in the update?
As in? Froyo specs means you will have additional functionality - the biggest one is Flash for websites. That and you will be able to run more applications from the Market vs. your current Eclair 2.1 ROM.

Thanks for the response. I have titanium backup, as well as SUPER MANAGER which also does backups. Also have ROm MANAGER but I am sure that will not apply....As for my installed apps & widgets I have a list of everything installed. Looking forward to 2.2 and FLASH 10 WHITESOX!
The official Froyo update has been coming "any day now" since September.
Just personal preference to run Titanium Backup - I know it works and I can use the free version to do everything I want or need.
Yea - I had forecasted we would see the Froyo OTA update from ATT with Source before Christmas - It does appear we won't see this update until sometime in 2011 - like um never?
At this point your stuck with either the OTA JH7 Update 2.1 Eclair - or you can get the Leaked Froyo (not recommended stock) or your plethora of Custom ROM's in the Dev forum.
I swear I think the Captivate has more custom roms then a room full of bunnies. I look at the other Galaxy S line and I see a few - but not as many to choose from here. This is the one major plus of owning a Captivate I guess
which one to get?
OK you and whitesox seem to know what you are doing. What is the best & most stable version to get?

Hello, guys. This is my first post after lurking for a while, adding roms and getting all of the good stuff for my captivate. But i bumped across the new market. I didn't follow instructions completely and deleted the market. So how should I fix this? I don't want to reflash my phone, because this would take 6 days and I am going on vacation in a few days, and I don't think I will survive without my beloved phone.
Any help on how to download the market app would be much appreciated. I have the android market app v2.12 but it will not let me install through my computer...
Still have the *.apk for the new market? If not you can go to the Themes Forum and do a search there - someone had the *.apk file for the new market app. You can download it - put it on your SDCard and then run it through your file manager - should install and your back in business.
Will need to use the SEARCH feature to find it though as I don't have the link.
Allright, thanks. I hope this works because normally I could not install apps directly to my phone because of at&t but i will try this.
btw.. are you on a stock ROM (2.1) or have you flashed to a custom ROM? Also if your phone isn't rooted this method won't allow you to install the app.
Sorry forgot to mention it.
And uh.. it never takes me 6 days to flash - usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to flash back to stock, install the new ROM, and restore my applications/app data.
It WAS on android 2.2 but I'm not sure if it is anymore because i tried restoring it to factory settings. And I'm talking about sending it to samsung to reflash it, I don't know how to do it myself :/
Oh, and yes. It is rooted.
and the app from there is kind of messed up... Very glitchy (crashes a lot and lags like crazy) and doesn't show every app in searches, like z4root which is how i easily rooted my phone the first time.
So i really just want the old market back but it will just not let me.
Go into Menu -> Settings -> About Phone and look to where it says "Firmware Version". If it says 2.2 and your phone has been rooted it should work fine.
Otherwise... you would at least need to Root it if on 2.2.
And if your not on 2.2? I'm not sure if this will work as I know it was pulled from a 2.2 updated phone.
Ok.. Plan B
You should be able to find the old Market app inside the *.zip file of any ROM you have downloaded. Just make sure they are 2.2 Froyo ROMs
Open up the *.zip file and go into system/app and look for (I'm 99% sure) "MarketUpdater.apk"
Copy that file to your SDCard and install using your file manager - should overwrite everything and hopefully your good.
Also.. you could go to your Menu --> Settings --> Applications and probably uninstall the current Market app you have downloaded first - delete any cache/data under there first before uninstalling.
Hopefully that will throw back on the original market app and your all set.
The only problem with that is... It was this one click downloader thing... Odin3. So I don't know... It also won't let me reupdate it for some reason....
Hrm.. This is from the OTA JH7 zip I have lying around. Give this a try and see if it works.
If not you will need to re-flash back to stock.
Could you supply me with a good rom thats easy to download and has the market and ****, like android 2.2, because the odin crap doesn't work for me.
Hrm.. I'd say go here if you wish to install a custom ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
Then a few options you have is Cognition, Auxura, or Assonance.
I've ran all of them and they are all great ROM's. I currently am running Assonance with the Gingerbread theme and it runs great.
Just make sure to do the reading first then download the ROM and you should be on your way.... just remember failure to follow the directions if on you and your warranty is already toast
Its already too late for my warrenty..... But I'll go ahead and try these. Thanks.
Actually. Something that would REALLY help would be helping me get into download mode. Every time i plug my phone into the computer in download mode it says usb device not recognized. How do i fix this? I've tried about every samsung drivers... None of them work... If i could get it into download mode i could get it working easily
I finally got around to flashing a friends zio to 2.2.1 and got a fresh nandroid backup directly after the tethered update. Not rooted, no mods, themes, all bloatware incl.

Ok, so I got a new phone and I need to put the stock rom back on my Zio m6000 so that I can sell it because it is no longer use to me. I downloaded your stock nandroid back up, now I need to know how to excatly put it to use. I got all the way up to the prompt screen, but now I'm like now what?! Do I need to put anything on the sdcard or what I have no idea. So please if someone can give me a little more details on the operation on how to restore to stock firmware using your nandroid backup would be great. Thanks in advance

If you just want to restore the M6000 to stock you can always use the updater for Microsoft. You'll need to have the drivers installed and connect via USB, then start the updater. It will reboot the phone into Modem Download Mode and will flash the stock 2.2.1 images.

Any other way to go back to stock 2.2 on a Cricket Zio?
This doesnt work for me, Ive tried flashing it in Recovery, it started to flash then rebooted. The old rom was still on the device, but the boot-up screen changed back to Cricket. (That was the only thing that changed.)
When I tried to restore this file using Rom Manager (which I hate), it kept giving me an error: "File Name can't contain spaces" or something to that effect.
Tried renaming the file several times, even just naming it "1.zip" made no difference.
All the roms on this forum are just way to slow compared to the stock rom. The only exception being the 2.1.x Rom here (which runs fast.)
Microsoft Activesunc/Windows Mobile Device Center isnt available to me as Im running Windows 7 64-Bit, the Windows 7 "Sync" program in accessories doesnt even recognize the device.
Fastboot into CWM works tho.
I know this phone pretty much sucks, but my daughter loves to play games and youtube on it, thats all we use it for. Some games arent compatible with Android 2.1..
Thanks!

Although I havent booted this phone up for years, I still disagree. OpenZio ROM far surpasses the stock ROM in performance, benchmarks and snappiness.
But if you are insistent on returning to stock, try formatting /system in CWM's advanced settings, then flash the backup.
Alternately, you can always run the 2.2.1 update to restore to a completely stock, unrooted system.

The "2.1.x" rom I was quoting in my previous post was the OpenZio rom, and yes it performs extremely well. Just no App to SD ability, among other limitations. Phone runs great with it however. Every other rom ive tried 2.2.x (except stock) seems to be generally very slow, and slow at recognizing screen input (almost a whole second from touching the screen until it actually recognizing there is a touch, which is hard very work with), and the screen's touch input seems to be uncalibrated somewhat. Ill try "formatting /system" then flashing the backup, but I guess the question I should have originally asked was: Do I flash this zip as I would any other custom rom from the SD? (Install Zip from SD>Select this ZIP). Im not familiar with the ZIO as I use T-Mobile, but I assume since its CW Recovery and it would be the same, right?
How do I perform the mentioned: "run the 2.2.1 update to restore to a completely stock, unrooted system."?
If I go to Settings/About/Update it says I need to be on Wifi, which it is (The phone's not activated). Ive tried doing that with every available rom in the forum.
UPDATE:
Just tried this, however when I choose to install this ZIP from SD, it starts to install, and within a half second goes back to the Recovery main screen.
Nothing changes (Except that I formatted everything)
