Can or do I need to run lag fix on a Rogers Captivate running the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM? Apparently the phone is running the RFS file system. I tried Ryanza's OCLF but the menu for the fix is unavailable to me. There's mention of the Voodoo fix but I can't seem to find it and finally....there is a menu in DarkyOTA that mentions the lagfix but I don't want to brick my phone unecessarily. Other searches only turn up months or years old references. Can someone clarify this for me please.

Hi everyone,
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 via Samsung Kies. I have used Ryan's Z4root to root it which was success. Everything was fine until here. When I tried to fix the lag using the update.zip, it failed saying 'file verification failed' (somthing of this sort). I chekced on different forums and found that there isn't any update.zip file to fix lag on 2.2 (am I right?).
If there is one, could someone point me in that direction. If there isn't, how can I undo 2.2 and rollback to 2.1 so that I can root it and fix the lag.
Please ask if you need any further details regarding my phone or the process I used to root and fix the lag.
Thanks in advance.
Superoneclick worked for me on 2.2 and 2.2.1 if you just need to root the phone.

Thanks for your reply but I have already rooted my 2.2. What I am looking is for a lag fix solution on my 2.2 or rolling back to 2.1 where there are loads of easy lag fix solutions.
head over to the android dev subforum, look for any of the lagfix kernels.
Alternatively use cf-root which will allow you to use 2e recovery and thereby apply your update.zip
Do you know which 2.2 firmware you flashed? Was it jk3 or jk4? This sounds like a recovery version issue and not all solutions support every version of firmware.
Ryan's Z4root to root
+ Ryans OCLF for lag fix works for me .

Any lagfix that can be installed as an app should be ok. You'll still be prevented from applying anything via the update.zip method until you resolve the recovery "issue".

My current 2.2 firmware is JP3. This is what is showing after I updated to 2.2 via Kies.

Yes!!!
Ryan's Root and OCLF worked for me aswell.
Rooting worked fine on the first go but lag fix resulted in a black screen on my galaxy. As I had an external SD card in my phone, I removed it out and ran the lag fix again. It worked this time!!!
From reading various voodoo lagfix threads I got the idea that it makes your SGS ridiculously fast. I want to install this on my phone, however, I have one of the fragile I9000m versions of the SGS from Bell. Is there any stable release for the voodoo lagfix for this combination?
Firmware - 2.2
Baseband Version - I9000UGJL2
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #6
Build Number FROYO.UGJL2
As you can imagine, I am quite unfamiliar with rooting and such. I do not trust myself with mods as last time I did the Bell Froyo 2.2 update through Kies and my phone had to be sent to repairs because it was bricked. Any info that would shed light on the situation would be great.
Please Help
Any help from fellow Bell SGS users would be greatly appreciated. From the Voodoo Project website, could I install the update through recovery mode or will that cause a huge problem for my phone?
If you are running JL2 you should be alright. They seemed to have resolved the majority of internal SD problems. Just read instructions VERY carefully and you should be fine. The easiest way to install a lagfix is to head over to the Android Dev. forum and download and install one of the Kernals. The Voodoo-based ones will automatically lag-fix for you when you reboot.
I recommend hardcore's Speedmod kernal. It has lagfix options (disabled by default) but is very user-friendly to install and use. You basically flash it then boot into recovery (volume up, home, power) and enable the options (including lag fix) you desire.
Thanks dpvu!

Does anyone know of one? Every lag fix kernel I've tried to flash bricks my phone, then I have to re-flash and update all my apps.
It just occurred to me that I am on my third Captivate (returns due to connection problems with AT&T network). This third Captivate has a build of 1103 and came to me straight from a return center pre-loaded with the AT&T KB1 2.2 Froyo.
In the past I just used One-Click Flash To Stock 2.1 Eclair to get off of my rom experimentation along with formatting to wipe the data shown on the internal card.
This newest 1103 phone seems very stable but I need a backup plan to get back to KB1 2.2 if it fails on me again.
Has anyone seen anything about a flash to stock KB1? I have been searching for some time but can't find it.
Thank you all for your patience and help.
EDIT: Ha, ha!! I did a Google Search on it and found a thread with an ODIN KB1 flash to stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403 It might be just a leak but might be good enough.
i updated from froyo to 2.3.5 kk4 gingerbread.rooted per instructions.
got root and all but when i turn on wifi it hangs then turns its self off.
in the instructions it says to reflash the kk4 kernel but when i do that i loose root.
i think im missing something when rooting. any help would be greatly apprec...

I dusted off ye' olde Captivate and flashed from Cognition to stock Eclair, up to stock Froyo--> Gingerbread using Odin and Kies(respectively). I followed the KK4 kernel Root using Odin with "I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears"(cant post links yet) to the "T". I DO have root, however do NOT have WIFI same as OP. My other car is a Thrill. So I'm not using Captivate for communication, But without WIFI, it's rendered useless. After you enable WIFI, it takes a bit to initiate then searches for networks, then shuts down. I tried to add mine manually but was told I was "Unable to save" it.
Kinda found a fix.
I searched and found an Odin 1 click which takes us back to 2.3.3. Then I flashed the Kernel using Odin as we did before and voila, root, and my WIFI functions. I am happy with 2.3.3 and root rather than the headache of fooling with it any more.
If you want, PM me...this forum won't let me post links yet
SAme problem here
Moving this over from the General. Bad poster...
The other day, I got a text from AT&T indicating that an official 2.3.5 kernel was available for my Captivate. Great, so I fire up Kies mini and install it over my rooted stock 2.2.
Update goes well, I have Gingerbread. All of my apps remain in place. Re-root (SuperOneClick) and my Titanium Backup works like a charm. (edit: Maybe SOC did it, not sure. It hung on step 6 thinking back, but I'm rooted currently. Could root have survived through the Kies update?)
However, I can't get my WiFi to connect to save my life. It scans for about 15 seconds then shuts back off. I can't even enter WiFi settings manually, because it shuts off and "fail to save" the settings.
IS anyone else having issues with WiFi on the AT&T stock Gingerbread kernel? (No, I don't feel the need to upgrade, since I just want to be able to use TiBU) I'm also having the dreaded "tetheringmanager" issue and a factory reset didn't help
That's exactly what happened to me other than not having rooted 2.2. WIFI worked with 2.3.5 before odin root of KK4. I went back to 2.3.3 and then rooted. Still Gingerbread and now fully functional.
Search for wifi manager in the market. I had the same problem, was using THS ICS at the time, but my situation was the same as you are all describing. It saved my wifi locations and never failed me. Give it a try.

i actually tried wifi manager. it still would not connect or find any networks for me.
How very strange......

This happened to me when I went from stock 2.2 to stock 2.3.5 using mini Kies and the offical ATT release. I then rooted my device using "DesignGears-AutoRoot" however this kernel breaks wifi...You'll need to reflash the stock KK4 kernel (you'll lose root) if you want your wifi back. I then found this thread explaining in detail what I went through:

You'll have to wait until a stable rooted kernel for KK4 is released... :-/
Did you guys try one of these kernels?
