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
go back to a stock setup....

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.

Firstly guys, I'd like to apologise for this being my first post. I'm usually a regular over at the SGS forums but am yet to have had a response. I'm ****ting bricks currently, so here goes...
ARGH wtf. Just as I thought I had the perfect phone, it messes up! Darky's ROM went mad on me. Kept rebooting the phone. Kept vibrating throughout. No idea what's wrong with it. Tried to do a wipe install of the ROM again, but the bloody thing has disappeared from the SD card! What am I going to do now? Reflash back to my previous firmware and start all over again, AGAIN? Ffs.
Just for the record, I'm basically stuck in recovery mode. It's either that or staring at the Nexus S logo as it attempts to boot, over and over and over... I'm so angry right now! I didn't do anything to the phone for this to happen! Bad luck or what. Really hope there is a solution to this. I don't suppose there's anyway of accessing the device's SD memory when in recovery mode? I just need to plant the update.zip on the SD card again so I can reflash it!

I would massively massively appreciate any help you guys could give me. I've had nothing but bad luck with my Galaxy S
[EDIT] Oh and by the way, I still have full access to my three-button combo modes. Clockwork recovery console and Download mode still fully accessible.
Hi
I'm also new here and got my SGS yesterday, but i had a HTC Desire before.
If you can get in to Clockworkmod recovery you should be able to push the file via adb to the sdcard. That was possible on the Desire at least.

Hey there, thanks for your response! What may I ask is 'adb'?
Android development....something
Just flash back to eclair again. The time it took you to get an answer on a forum is longer tham the time it takes to flash.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm guessing you screwed up without diabling lagfixes or something, just install JM8 with repartition enabled and using pit 512 file again then install clockwork update.zip then install whatever rom (but in this case darkys). It starts to become habbit when testing new roms to do all of them steps, The first time something happens you **** bricks but soon relize the SGS is alot more brick poof then you think (unless you are one of the poor souls with broken recovery modes)
But anyways, calm the hell down. Everything is fine.

I've absolutely no idea what files to flash... I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing with the SGS. Quite embarrassing actually because I used to flash my old Omnia HD with no problems whatsoever! Don't suppose you could link to files.
Don't worry, your Galaxy is not bricked. Please see here how to reflash from a PC.
I've downloaded all necessary files... I've got a CODE a MODEM the 512.pit but no CSC? Am I okay to flash with no CSC?

CSC contains all carrier-related (like APNs) data.
Depending on the type of packaging some CODE files are complete with CSC.
In any case, you can flash a CSC (like ITV or XEU) even later.
Before to go with flash, I'd like to advise you to backup /efs folder on your SD and/or your PC. This is the only folder with information (like your IMEI configuration) that cannot be recovered in case of a total data loss.
After a long gruelling process of flashing and reflashing, I'm back on Darky's ROM. Problem though - App market is messed up. I can't download anything from the Market and it's also the 'old' Market theme... I think has something to do with the fact that I've flashed from Eclair straight to Darky's? (Which I was advised to do...) - How can I get my Market working again?! Everything is fine besides that!
[EDIT] I now have the new market interface but still cannot download a thing!
I have installed many roms with out any problems but after trying to flash this rom i am stuck at this screen. Could someone help please.
New file sytem config detected. convert?
-yes
-yes with factory reset after backup
-yes with factory reset without backup
-no enter recovery mode
-no remove the new config
-++++++go back+++++
what one do i select please.
Yes........ ...
Yes dont answer the question, but i figured it out anyway. i chose --yes with factory reset after backup. Unless you mean i should have selected just the first yes. Thank you for your reply if that is what you meant. I also did not hear the voodo sounds if it has it like other roms.

The answer was and is the top option YES
you will find allot of people willing to help you here, but your question was one that needed an answer NOW. Sorry I left my bat phone off the ringer.
On a side note paragon its a great rom.
Ty again for your help. so did i do wrong for selecting the one i selected? and yes so far it is great. Unless i installed wrong
Which one did you select? Do you have an app in your app draw called voltage control?
yes sir i do have that app. But i did not select yes like you suggested. I selected
-yes with factory reset after backup
But i did not hear any of the voodoo voices like i did with cognition unless this is different.
I oppologize for the ignorance but only flashed the perception roms and cognition roms.
Different lag fix. No voices. You should be fine. The kernel uses ulk lag fix. Options are available in recovery. Base settings are stock clocking, but you can over clock your device with this kernel. Unless you are a big gamer I would leave stock
Was worried there for a minute or so. In your honest opinion should i reflash and just choose the ---yes--- as you suggested. i love all these roms and just want the best for my phone. im at almost an hour now with no battery drain. I will never overclock my phone though, i have never been into overclocking. To reflash is no prob to intall with the option you suggested.
You may want to reflash. No stability concern but any app that was not saved in system would of been wiped in reset. So you may be missing somethings the dev included.
If you want you can change the kernel to a non oc one. It is very easy
Ok i will reflash it. Thank you for all your time with me. Very nice to be here and have help the way you have helped me. Tc and have a wonderful evening.
I've searched for half and hour and looked through XDA's suggested topics before, so I apologize if this is a beaten dead horse.
I've had a problem for a while, I believe when my phone (CDMA HTC Hero) was stock, then through Fresh, CM6 and now CM7 2.3.3. at least 50% of the time I try to answer an incoming call it immediately "boops" at me and hangs up. Additionally, at least 50% of the time I have to send/dial a number more than once for it to connect. It will ring, click off a few seconds and "boop", hang up. Often the person on the other end will tell me their's rang once but when they picked up I wasn't there.
Now adding to this oddness, unless I go through a tunnel I almost never drop a call once it's active. Adding more wierdness, I found out my sister who also has a CDMA HTC Hero (rooted so I could add wireless tether but otherwise still on Sprint's 2.1 stock) experiences the same sort of conditions.
Is there something I can solve here or is it just an anomaly I continue to live with for another couple months till I upgrade? Thanks to this forum and the developers I've managed to remain happy w/ my phone for 2 years because I get to make it "new to me" every couple months (more and more often, it's addictive) but I feel it's showing it's age and I'm ready to upgrade.
Thanks, Travis
have you updated your PRL and such recently?? sometimes that causes phone answering wonkiness..
I often say I know just enough to be dangerous
.....a search tells me the PRL is my phone's list of local towers?...... I haven't intentionally done this ever. Do I need to somehow flash back to a stock ROM (avail. in here?) and then restore my current after I "update PRL" or has 2.3.3 added this feature and I'm just missing it.
Thank you for the help, sorry for current ignorance

yeah.. there are plenty of stock based roms floating around here.. nifinite has some of the best..nandroid your current setup, flash a stock, then go to settings update PRL/Profile, after everything updates, just use your nandroid to get back to your current setup..
easy as pi
Nandroid equivalent to my CWM backup I assume?
I'll search to find stock based (those the sense ones?) or point me to one if you don't mind.
I'll happily do this 3.142 times if it corrects this minor irritation

New Question:
backed up current rom, applied one above and I'm stuck in a boot loop? How do I get back to the recover boot screen where I can restore the backup and try another rom?

lol.. sorry..
pull the battery.. hold down power and home, will boot you to recovery.. wipe everything then flash the ROM again and reboot, that should fix..
Whew, minor panic averted. See how I learn new stuff, only by screwing it up
I wondered if I need to wipe cache and davlik before, will have a go at it again.

always a good idea to wipe cache and dalvik before any new installs.. git rid of the "dingleberries" so to speak
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.
