[Q] Can you perform a master reset with Lagfix installed? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed Froyo the other day using the Scandinavian reg hack in Kies and to be honest I haven't had any problems really. But I was wondering if I should actaully perform a master reset as well?
The only thing is, if I should then I have already rooted and applied OCLF, so should I remove this first?
Thanks!

I would strongly suggest removing the lagfix and ext tools, back up your data etc.
You can leave as root.

[Q] OCLF Problem

First a bit of background. I have a i9000m Bell breed running JH2, I rooted it to unlock the SIM at first and have been running on Telus. I had RyanZA's OCLF installed on it. One day it shut down on it's own a few times and then it wouldn't boot. So I restored it and reinstalled OCLF, then I removed the lag fix in the program. Today I was going to add it back on but it says unavailable.
Now a could things, I think I undid the lag fix in OCLF but I can't remember if I did for sure or not. I know the phone is still rooted. What can I do?
op, the first thing you can do is to post this in the right forum.
my take is to reflash to jh2. of course, if you have the 3-button combination working.

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, wasn't sure which one to use.
So it says I have a lagfix installed already. It there anyway to check this? Because I am not 100% sure that I was using RyanZA's fix from the start.
I do have the 3 button working and I did reflash JH2 not too long ago when my phone messed up on me. After installing I lost everything but still have the Superuser. But the lagfix has not worked since.

Does that come installed on the phone? I can't find it?
you can install it only if you have Froyo 2.2 which is not released for the public yet

So what can I do? Or check?

[Q] Can I get some advice on improving my galaxy s

Hi my phone has recently had the froyo build from keis using the reg hack and it's definately worse than before. I want to do the following but just want to check its a good idea/ best way.
I want to do a factory reset (to clear out any 2.1 garbage hanging around)
root the phone
install a lag fix
possibly install another fw
I have backed up the apps I car about with astro I was then going to do a factory reset
Then root the phone with SuperOneClick
Then install CFLagFix
Then hopefully my phone would stop behaving badly.
Also a bit worried about the fact I used the keis hack should I have waited for the uk release? How will I be able to install the uk froyo build when it is released?
Is there a fw with all this stuff pre done which would work better?
(another question is there any fw out yet which support the wii mote?)
Thanks
Sorry also had another question. Is it a good idea to install another launcher and if so whats the best way to do this is there some kind of lite rom I can install which wouldn't come with all the anoying smasung stuff and touch wiz?
I upgraded to Froyo via the reg hack, and having not done a factory reset, it was slow as **** even with OCLF.
But once I installed voodoo, it was like night and day. Vastly faster than 2.1 ever was, even with OCLF. And I still haven't done a factory reset, and probably won't.

[Q] ryanza oclf before froyo

Just a little guidance needed,got the oclf from the market,and installed it.
Would like to know can i leave it on my phone,when i upgrade to froyo,????
or do i need to undo the lag fix all together....????
If so in which order do i undo it in??? Unroot first,or undo lagfix first???

remove one click lag fix, remove root, do factory reset of phone, update through Kies - worked fine when I did it that way.
indeed, remove it first before "upgrading"
factory reset i loose everything????
Thankyou for quick reply's
that's an other option that clear sd right? (recovery)

Question about Voodoo and root

Hi,
I upgraded to Froyo a while ago. I also installed a then-beta version of Voodoo lagfix for Froyo on my phone.
Recently I used BusyBox to grab Root on my phone (files for that were part of the Voodoo version I installed).
Now I've been wondering how my phone would react if I was ever forced to do a hard reset our reset to factory default.
Would the changed file system of the lagfix interfere with that?
Would the lagfix persist past such a reset?
Would I still be easily able to root my phone again to restore a Titanium backup?
Do you have any other recommendations for someone with a recently rooted phone and little experience?
Thanks,
Yin

[Q] Galaxy S upgrade to Froyo from rooted and lagfixed phone

I have a Galaxy S which i rooted and installed a lagfix on. I think it was Ryans OCLF i used for the lagfix.
I want to update to the official Froyo available from T-mobile via kies but having lots of problems getting it to connect (as everyone does). I have backed up contacts etc. I havent bothered backing up apps as i just wrote down the settings i have in each one and will just reinstall them after the upgrade.
What im planning on doing was completely resetting the phone back to factory settings and wiping it altogether so i have a clean phone to do the upgrade.
The problems im expecting or want to know how to avoid is with the root and lagfix i have installed. Will doing a factory reset or other reset (hopefully somebody can tell me another way of resetting) get rid of the root and lagfix or do i need to do something manually before wiping the phone? I know of something about the lagfix creating partitions etc so would a factory reset cancel the lagfix or would it cause all sorts of problems?
How do i go about removing the lagfix and resetting to the standard software that came with the phone? Also i have apps that require root so if i unroot the phone will this cause problems when they try to start or will they just not work and not be an issue?
Im not running any custom roms just the original one that came on the phone.
Sorry for all the questions and a rather long first post but im hoping to do this soon as the phone is running like a bag of smelly brown stuff lol.
Disable the lagfix first and then wipe. Root will not go away but I dont think that would be problem.PS. If I would be you I would just use odin to upgrade, there is plenty of good guides including how to use odin
Undo lagfix before any firmware upgrade .Then factory reset then go to Kies .
Remove lagfix as per the instructions with whatever lagfix you used .
Unroot not a problem its only a user administrative rights fix giving you greater access .
Personally i undo anything i can before an upgrade .
jje
Yes i would definitely undo everything before upgrading its just a question of how i do it.
I used Ryans OneClickLagFix app that was on the market at the time but now it has been altered because it allowed you to root and google didnt like this. I still have the original version i downloaded on the phone so is it just a case of clicking on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Also if the root remains on the phone after i have wiped it, will this cause any problems when i put froyo on it? Is there not a different method or file for rooting froyo to the one i have used on 2.1?
on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Correct .
jje
Also click Remove Ext2 Tools, and the go into the Scheduler changer and return it to CFG and uncheck the tweak buttons, if you messed with any of that.
In which order should i do all of those?
Should i remove the ext2 tools and return cfg settings etc to default before i remove the lagfix or after?
So just a quick update.
Something went totally wrong the other night on its own. This is before i had even thought of upgrading that night. Was sitting on facebook happily playing away when it started force closing within a few seconds of opening. Tried to open the market to reinstall the facebook app and the market force closed in a few seconds. It did this with every app including the email and phone etc. Even the RyansOCLF would forceclose so i couldnt remove the lagfix or unroot etc. All my settings for apps and launcher pro settings had disappeared. Only a couple of icons i had set on the home screen of launcher pro remained but i couldnt use any of them. All my phone logs were there and so were my texts etc but everything else had reset. When i tried to reapply some of my settings and then restart the phone, when i had finished the restart the settings i had reapplyed had defaulted again. Disaster!!
The only thing i could do was run a factory reset from the options menu. I crossed my fingers hoping this wouldnt brick the phone and alas it worked perfectly. Sorted out kies and connected the phone and installed 2.2.1 android. The lagfix had been cleared by the factory reset. I keep wondering if this is why i had so many problems with it taking ages to start up before. Maybe because the lagfix never really worked properly it never fully rebuilt the file system so was removed easily? Although the benchmarks were coming up double the speed of the fastest device on the results so not too sure how it was performing so fast with a duff lagfix...who knows. Anyway got it all up and running and rooted and lagfixed using the voodoo fix. Stuck launcher pro on setup everything. Got the apps i previously purchased reinstalled and restored any apps i wanted from titanium backup. Works like a dream and alot better memory usage aswell.
Thanks for all the help guys but it seems although i didnt follow any of the instructions you all posted (not out of choice...just because the phone physically wouldnt let me) it seemed to get the upgrade done without any problems.
