Hello xda users.I have question about lagfix.
I have galaxy S I9000 and currently i'm on XXJVU 2.3.6 odexed stock firmware.
My kernel is semaphore 2.5.0.And i converted the file system rfs to ext4 with "cf ext4 add on" there is no problem so far.But i'm wondering about;
If i'll get a rom issue (like stucking at galaxy s screen or somehing like that) some people says JVU has some bugs.I don't know what i need to do.
If i get an issue like that and if the file system is ext4 what can i do? (Can't enter to recovery,just entering to download) I had this issue beefore but i didn't have ext4 so i flashed rom using odin.But now if i get an issue like that is there any way to change file system when i can't boot up the phone ,stuck at s screen?
thanks in advance
you need to flash a stock rom using the .pit file along with the others (pda modem csc) this resets everything as far as i know
gige is right my lagfix also is always on.
there is no problem at all try reflashing back to stock and it will be back to rfs.
a tip if your lagfix on, try off it first if you want to try various roms especially ics.
cheers
Thanks .both of you
So tell me if i'm wrong;
i can flash stock rom (like XXJVU modem pda csc+pit and re partition checked) while my lagfix is on? Can i flash like that while lagfix on? (I mean did you try it ever? when lagfix on flashing rom from odin? anyone?

Hi. I recently tried to update my rom to on from the rom kitchen and something didnt work. so after waiting 1.5h on the boot screen i opened clockwork and tried to restore a backup I made right before flashing. The thing is that what ever I do I always end up booting into clockwork again.
I did not disable lagfix prior to first flash and now I cant because it reboots to clockwork.
Anyone have an idea, or solution? Can I install another rom through odin with my ext4 lagfix on?
in clockwork do a factory reset and also clear cache and so on.
go and flash a stock rom thru odin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and then start all over again
providing you have download mode you should be ok
Thanks!
Are you shure that I can flash a stock rom on a ext4 filesystem? everyware I read thay say I must disable lagfix before start
If you want to return to RFS by default just flash a stock ROM and then do a wipe/factory reset into Recovery 3e.....it should work (it works for me! XD)!
Should re partition be on in odin?
only if you have all 3 files, if not dont use pit or re partition. flashing a stock will erase the ext4 and convert back to rfs so dont fret about that.
ideally you would want a 3 file firmware so you can re partition but most firmwares now only come in 1 file, so you may need to dig a little deeper if the 1 file doesnt fix your problem. i've never had to use a 3 file firmware so i couldnt direct you to one sorry.
if you really want the 3 file + pit + repartition on samfirmware.com there is the JS3 in Yellow.....it's the 3 file rom with pit and repartition!!

cheers man, il get downloading that too,, ya never know when summit like that comes in handy... (luckily) iv'e still yet to brick my phone... at least il have this to bring it back to life
I think it was released a few weeks ago.....
I used it last week and it was perfect!! Better than Darky's Resurrection!!
I was on Vodafone UK JS3 froyo 2.2.1. After using OCLF 2.3.0, I later decided to downgrade to froyo 2.2 JPY using clockworkmod.
I forgot to disable OCLF before restoring my old rom. My phone boots to the Samsung galaxy screen and ends there.
Download mode works. I`ve flashed stock JS3 rom+pit 512 with odin, but nothing.
I flashed voodoo lagfix, hoping it will convert my internal flash to ext4 so I could then disable it and it will convert the whole flash back to default to get my phone booted.
I donot know if OCLF spoiled my phone because it was not disabled, or even what went wrong. Please can someone help?

so first OCLF is ext2 with system binds, so voodoo won't help

Hi, I have SGS 1 with stock ROM JPJV6 (arabic)
I flashed the following Chainfire kernel:
CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar
Everything was working well, super user, tweaks and the ext4 tool. However, when I tried to convert to ext4 I got the following error message when converting /system:
Not enough space.. Rolling back!
Restoring files...
Rolling back failed! | PANIC!
The other partitions where converted with no problem.
However, when the phone rebooted, super user is not working anymore, also tweaks and ext4 tools are not recognizing the kernel.
I tried flashing the same kernel again but the problem remained.
I tried flashing CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS and also the problem remained.
My question is:
1) How can I know the current partition (RFS or exts)?
2) Is it safe to flash the stock JPJV6 ROM to fix all that stuff and return to original firmware without root or ext4?
3) If it is safe, should I select "repartition" in ODIN?
Thanks in advance

dont panic!
yes, just flash back a stock rom with odin with repartition
it will change back to stock RFS
Thanks for replying
I'll try that and tell you what happened...
Try to install a new superuser.apk

Hi Guys,
I have CM7 installed and wanna try different ROM.
I realized that CM7 runs on MTD/yaffs2 , thus I need to reformat my falsh partitions to either ext4 or original RFS depending on the ROM I will flash.
I am wondering how can I do so?
I am concerned with bricking the phone if I combine wrong partition format and ROM.
Thanks for your help!

I have CM7.1/baseband XXJVK
Just flash back a full firmware with pit and repartition checked and your file system will be reformatted to rfs

Disable the lagfix if you have one, and go like slaphead20 said

Thanks. What you said is convencing .
I downloaded JVQ from samfirmware and found phone, pda and CSC files. but Odin V1.82 has a field for bootloader too.
Shall I keep that empty or need also to be flashed.
Disable the lagfix if you have one

How to do it with CM7. with Voodoo kernel it seems to be easy, but I ignore how to do it with CM7.
Thanks for your help guys!
Hello everyone
my device is SGS 1 , I flashed VODOO Lag fix on it
and now I want to flash a newer firmare or Cyanogen ROM
What should I do with the lag fix ?? just flash a new rom or what ??
knowing that VODOO lag fix can't be uninstalled .
you have to undo the lag fix before flashing a new Rom, as the lagfix converts Rfs files to Ext4. (which makes it faster for the phone to read) but the framework is build off of Rfs file systems, so before flashing a new rom go into the voodoo lag fix app, and there should be sumwhere that says convert bak 2 Rfs or undo lag-fix. OR if you have Odin and a stock Gingerbread Rom, you can just flash a stock GB Rom over it without undoing lagfix, then flash a custom Kernel to gain root access again. i do this as its a cleaner flashing method,
REMEMBER IF I HELPED TO CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON
worked for me
Thanks
