[Q] HELP! OCLF issue!

Hey guys,
Was playing around with my phone today and noticed there was a later version of OCLF, so I decided to give it a try. I disabled the first one, it ran it's thing, rebooted, and when I try to install the latest version, it'll say "you already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB).
Now I have no lag fix (huge difference!). I installed ASTRO and attempted to just remove the playlogos1 file, but it gives me an error. I even SSH'd into it and it gave me an error. I restored it via ROM Manager, and still didn't work.
I can't say I'd recommend this lagfix to people.
HELP! PLEASE!!

Once you open OCLF, click on the option to "Restore Boot Animation" This fixed the same issue for me.

Definitely doesn't work for me. From what I've read, only a small percentage of people were able utilize that solution.
I ended up flashing Cognition. Sorry, but I don't recommend OCLF.

I'm going to have to disagree with you. There's nothing wrong with OCLF. I've used it on all my firmwares, no problems at all. For it's ease of use, ease of installation and removal, nothing beats it.

OCLF disabling and re-enabeling
Wow, been working my head off on this one.. restoring the boot animation worked fine with me thanks a million

restoring boot file didn't work for me
Hi,
I am having the same problem
Seems to be stuck in between lag fix and undo lag fix
I have a captivate that I bought from Rogers.
I rooted the phone, then I applied the lag fix using OCLF lag fix.
I decided to undo the lag fix in preparation of the rogers froyo release...
It seems that the undo succeeded (no obvious errors anyways)
When I went back to the OCFL app, the oneclicklagfix v2.2+ and v1+ are unavailble in red, when I "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)"
I did a restore boot animation to restore the playlogos1 file... but nothing changed.
the undo lag fixes (2.2+ and 1) are also unavailable
I tried Uninstalling ext2 tools (option available) I got this error:
Remove EXT2 Tools failed with error:Couldn't remove library libext2_blkid.so:rm:can't remove'/system/lib/libext2_blkd.so':Read -only file system.
I've checked the internal phone storage available space: 1.69 GB.
Can someone please help? Did the lag fix undo work? is it safe to upgrade to froyo with this issue (once it is release from Rogers that is)
Thanks

Thanks for the reply... do you mean I should do a Factory data reset using the phone setting option?

Hey buddy...
I had the same issue like you a couple weeks ago...I did everything you can imagine...and nothing...
I just fixed placing back the JI6 that I already had before...

no, i mean use ODIN and go back to stock...

hi i have a captivate I have the same problem with the oclf that its says that I have a lagfix and I read that I have to just put restore boot animation and its says it has a copy of a stock boot animation of a I9000 device. Those it mater if I put it in my captivate or those it ruins it?

I use to have that problem. I could solve it by restoring boot animation.
Later it doesn't work. And I think it was like flashing that caused it. I recommend you to go to stock rom and master clear then try it out.

[Q] Please Help

Please help everyone, I messed up with my phone..
I installed SGStools yesterday and just click on TouchwizUI GTG and it went all ok....
About the installation of GTG Touchwiz, I think there is an phrase saying "first, install ..... e.g. launcherpro" which I didn't do. But after that it went ok.
THen this morning, I started to notice that evrything i press the middle button once, it will vibrate and an error will popup, and I need to click it again to relaunch the homescreen..
After that, I went to SGStools again and tried to restore my backup, but the backup wasnt there, so I try to reinstall the Touchwiz GTG then afterwards restart the phone, after which, the homescreen is gone but I can still use the notifications and answer calls and text.
Please help me, I'm on stock ROMs and all things that I installed in my SGS is OCLF and Root and this one. Please help me!!

Anyone PLS?

Download root explorer. Go to android development and download and read instructions in the touchwiz launcher thread.

Okay. You still can go to download mode right? (volume down + home + power)
If yes, try flashing back to a stock firmware usign Odin.

What happens with the calling features that makes you think you need a new phone.apk?
How did you root it? Custom ROM? Stock?

Can you tell us more about this "calling features" and the problems that you got?

i rooted using z4root. and used rsdlite and an sbf to go back to 2.1 so i could put a custom rom like miui on. right now its at a stock rom. and anythime i open anything related to the phone like calling or anything i get a force close.

Try updating to 2.2, by flashing an sbf from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221 to update to 2.2.1.

i think i did that. i just might have used the wrong one.. any suggestions on which one to use?

Won't reinstall packages 2.2

Hey ya'll got a question. I'm trying to put CM7 on my buddies vibrant (2.2 stock) but running into an issue. We got it rooted but when it goes into 3e recovery it keeps giving me the error that it can't reinstall packages even when I put in on the internal memory renamed to Update.zip.
Is there any way to flash CWM through Odin? Or do I need to go back to stock (2.1) and try it that way. From searching it seems like people aren't really having this problem. I can't be the only one.
Any help appreciated
thanks!

have you tried more than just one cwm?
i have several - yellow, green(froyo), blue, purple.
just search for them on the forums they are here.
i think you need green one.
hope this helps.

you need to flash it through clockword recovery (install rom manager and then you can install it through there) and not through stock recovery.

Sorry, I should have elaborated a little more. I installed RM and flashed it through there but it would never come up. It just kept giving me the error.
Thanks!

Just did some searching and not finding "green" clockworkmod files.

I used this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 to root it.
Option A was the one I used. Option B has the CWR in it but you'll need to have a ROM ready to flash.
IIRC the one (RM) I downloaded from the market was green.

Not really seeing option A or B. IS this option A:
1 – Return to stock JFD (2.1). This is what the Vibrant shipped with. You do this using ODIN.
This is a program for your PC that allows you to flash the stock firmware. Those on a Mac (it's cross-platform too) need Heimdall which I do not use/support.
Wait I see it now. Which one do you recommend I do?

Couldn't resist quoting myself on this one. Sorry and not to be a smartass but...

That is to root it but Option B has CWR in it and then most ROMS will have 3e recovery included. Leaving for the day but I suggest looking in the Q&A section before you get flamed for this over here in the Dev section.

^ yes, thank you.
Not everyone gets my two options... I tried to make it easy. B is MUCH easier and faster in my opinion.

Sorry about that guys I swore I posted this is the Q&A. Thanks for the help as soon as my buddy brings the phone back over we'll try this.
thanks!

Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

SGT Hard Resets on every bootup on any ROM.

It's been quite a learning curve getting my Sprint CDMA Galaxy Tab and attempting to load every Miui, CM7/CM9 I could find on XDA and Rootzwiki. I never fully tested my tablet before beginning the delve into the flashing world so I don't know if this is an issue with the tablet itself or caused by my endless flashing trials.
I simply am unable to save any settings or data. Everytime I boot up, no matter which ROM (Miui CM7/9), it is always factory reset. This is quite frustrating.
I'm back on stock from odining Sprint EF17 GB w/ original PIT file and this is still happening. Does anyone have any idea if this was self-incurred or if there is a partitioning bug of some sort that I have missed.
Much Thanks in advance!

So every time you turn on your Tab it loads and then reboots in a continuous loop? Do you see the Android OS unlock screen or the load process does not gets so far? Because if it does not then in my opinion the boot loader is incorrect for some reason. That is my opinion.
What you can do if you suspect that the PIT is incorrect, you read your PIT and save via Heimdall and compare it with somebody else who has the same Tab as you have.

Unable to personalize "issue"

Negative. This is not a continuous loop bug. It is a "unable to personalize" bug. I can install market/apps/data/contacts etc etc, but every single time I boot up. it's a Fresh Copy with no personalized settings.

sounds like permission issue? Is there a fix permission in recovery?

Yes I booted into CWM,fixed permissions, rebooted, put 2-3 icons on desktop, rebooted.
Nothing, it was back to factory default settings.
A permissions issue does make sense, but it didn't work and this is just mind boggling to me.

I've got the exact same problem... after reading forums for 14hrs seems like a galaxy tab thing not common at all with no real answers
Sprint SPH-P100

I'm sorry you have the same problem.
However I'm glad to have someone to share it with. Misery loves company. I've scoured the web for 3 days and have nothing.
Please if anybody knows what's going on. From my non-developer logic I need to find a way to get the changes I make to my phone to write permanently (so to speak), everything I do is temporary until I reboot.

Hmmmm... I suppose you guy's already tried to wipe all caches and reflash the kernel (= not the ROM, just the kernel) ?

Where do I find the Kernal?
It's the zImage file right?
The ROM I'm on right now is JT's CM7 here:
I wanted to try just flashing the kernal but I am unable to locate the zImage file. What directory is it in?
Edit: I found the Kernal, it's actually in the CWM 5.0.2.7 package. I'm gonna try flashing the kernal over to see if it fixes the issue.
Edit2: No cigar, reflashing kernal does not fix this issue. On a side note, I tried to upgrade to CM9 and got "Encryption Unsuccessful". Not that I am knowledgable in this, but it seems the issue may share some commonality with that.

Hi,
Yah, zImage should be the kernel.
In this thread, I found something about the issue you have. It might have something to do with NoFrillsCPU... Hope this helps

Eh, I just went through all 37 pages of that thread. Couldn't find anything on NoFrillsCPU and didn't see any issues that resemble mine. Was that tthe right thread? I'll do a google for nofrillscpu and see if that brings up anything.

you read very fast then LOL
Anyway, my bad, it's not NoFrillsCPU but it's SetCPU ... It's in the OP : "Please DO NOT check the "Set on Boot" button in SetCPU untill you have tested it, or you may not be able to get control back without a reflash."
EDIT : Looks like there's a misunderstanding in me confused about the CDMA versions. Sounds like this thread has all the solutions you need. I may be wrong , of course...

I think you have my issue confused with another . My issue is that everytime I boot it's a clean boot with google account reset/desktop reset. I can't save any settings or download any apps without it getting wiped by a boot. I don't even think my ROM is currently overclocked but I'll look to see if indeed it's hiding in here somewhere.
Let me know if you see anything else that I can try :-(
Thanks though
Edit: Just checked, my system was not overcloccked and set on boot was not checked so this is definetely not the same issue.
