After rooting .. should OEM be activated ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys this is my first topic here and I hope u can help me .. I rooted my note 9 few months ago and every thing was ok .. week ago some games started random crashes like PUBG and I can't play .. decided to use factory reset and after I did every thing was great for all games and apps again but only problem was I lost root access so I had to unlock OEM again and downloaded magisk and installed manager and again i had root access.. but this got me back to the main problem of crashes while playing PUBG .. i noticed that OEM is not missing but just it's not activated and if i try to active it takes me to delete all data again and after restart and format it still not active .. so should it be active or not .. and do I have to re do rooting process using PC or just download magisk and instal ??

It shouldn't reverse on its own once flipped. Sometimes it simply glitches out, and if your phone otherwise works fine, I wouldn't touch it.
As for the crashing; I don't think PUBG actively blocks rooted devices, but you should try hiding Magisk anyway and going through all installed modules just to make sure none of them is at fault.

switching on/off or rebooting...... = crazy things

hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^
it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone
i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1

i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2

After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything
ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again
ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

random reboot, help ?

hey guys, my IncS is stock as a rock bought it from optus here in melbourne. the past couple days ive been getting random reboots. i was just on the phone for like 5 mins, hung up, walked to my lounge, put the phone down then 2 seconds later the htc boot screen came up, is their a reason its doing this ?
Did you purchase the fone recently?
If yes, then you may want to take it back and get it checked.
If not, then it could be an app you installed recently which could be causing the problem.
Check to see all the apps you installed before this issue started & uninstall the/those apps.
if it still doesn't help, back up your phone & do a factory reset.
alternately of course you could root your phone & try some of the roms here

OK, then it sounds like you need to start removing your installed apps until you find the culprit.

[Q] Licence verification failing in bought apps?

Hello, I have no idea how to fix this, I have even tried a factory reset but I'm not sure it helped at all.
At first, I had a problem with In App Purchases - it never loaded them (for example in WoT Blitz it told me that I have something disabled, also in other games, but I didn't do anything like that!)...I tried a factory reset because I couldn't find a way to fix it on the internet or in my settings of phone and Google Play. After factory reset, everything seemed to be fine for a day or so, I tried immediately if WoT Blitz shows me IAP's, and it did show them. I thought everything was fine, but yesterday I tried to download from Google Play Store some games I have bought and played already (Terraria and Rayman Jungle Run). They both are telling me "Licence Verification Failed". I don't know if this was happening already before the factory reset, but I don't think so. I have tried to google but most of what I have found were just telling me to download Lucky Patcher and patch it...but why is this happening and how can I stop it?
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Cyanogenmod Android 4.4.4 KitKat almost a year now, the Cyanogenmod version is newest and there should be no issues.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
