Hello there must i uninstall the oneclick lagfix before i do the official 2.2 update?
Or can i update with it installed?
And can it be done without kies because i cant get that to work.
Best regards
+1
I would like to know this too - before the official is out, so I can get it when it's hot.
Also: is unrooting necessary before updating? I really like the added functionality from my rooted device, can I keep that?
I'm also interested in a definitive answer to this.
Also on a somewhat related note, will a batch titanium backup be enough to restore my apps, settings, etc. to pretty much exactly how they were before updating?

Well... isn't the firmware the only thing that changes?
Or will all the apps be deleted? (If not, why do you care about backups?)

Fairly certain that Kies updates wipe everything on the phone - equivalent to a factory reset.
May be wrong however
It seems you are right - damn.
"Another thing should be noticed is you must back up all important data before updating your phone, or you will lose all data."

So... what to backup. All apps... will SMS messages be lost too? How about GPS settings, or stuff thats stored on the internal SD card?
Titanium Backup is godsent for factory resets. Yes it restores everything but Its advisiable to just restore the apps you installed and not the system settings.
Screwed up a few of my factory resets.
As for contacts, back them up on Google and for SMS you can use SMS Backup+ (note the +) which can backup your sms on gmail automatically and restore them! its so awesome
and no it wont touch your internal sd. Titanium backup files are stored there though
Thanks for the reply... however, SMSBackup+ doesn't work for me (keeps crashing), first app to do that to me, EVER.
Anyway, could anyone tell us about the root and lag fix needing to be removed or not?

it shouldnt be necessary but its advisable to remove OCLF,
for voodoo, its a must.
Its sad that SMSbackup doesnt work on you, there's alternatives out there but i prefer SMSbackup+ since it uses your gmail account which means its on the cloud
im not sure of the other alternatives but I certainly saw a few that saved to your SD card and can restore from there, im not sure how well they work though
Well, in that case, I'll leave it be for now (lagfix and root) seeing as Voodoo isn't yet released for Froyo:
"What about Froyo?
Current Froyo builds are leaked development firmwares, not meant to be released.
Of course Froyo is the future for Galaxy S and as soon as Samsung will release a stable firmware and the corresponding sources, Voodoo improvements will be ported to it."
Once that happens; bye bye OCLF.
lagfix
so we can update to 2.2 with the lagfix installed?
Yes I want o know this as well, I have OCLF 2.2+ do I need to UNROOT my sgs AND "undo OCLF" AND "remove ext2 tools" ? All of them or just one ?
Can someone please answer this

yes please answer us
YES, UNINSTALL ONLY THE LAGFIX (means restore EXT2 and uninstall the lagfix!)
NO NEEDS TO UNROOT! since the new kernel will be overwrite and you will have anyway an unrooted kernel again!
DONT FORGET TO WIPE ALL and hard reset...is the best safe way to a successfull flash! make a backup maybe titanium backup ... is a good way for the appz and dont forget to backup your contacts
then u can restore all!
I never had problems doing it in this way!
I went to the voodoo irc channel and the people said it was unnecessary to uninstall the voodoo lagfix before the firmware update. What IS NECESSARY is that you 'DISABLE LAGFIX' before doing the update.
lagfix
But i have the one click lagfix installed
Hi All,
Please forgive me if I am asking a question that has been asked and answered many times before but I have searched and I can only find bits and pieces of the info I need.
My question is (as a bit of a noob)... What steps must I take to ensure a good backup of my SGS before I flash from Eclair to FroYo?
I am on stock JH2 here in Canada. I am rooted and have downloaded Titanium Backup (free version) but I have not done anything with it yet as far as backing up my apps, etc is concerned.
The reason I ask this is that I have read in one thread or another that you should backup your phone with Titanium (if rooted) but I am lost at how it works from there. The same thread also advised that once you upgrade to froyo and you restore your apps that you should NOT restore any system data as it may conflict with the new update so... How do you restore apps without restoring the system info?
Also... I am looking to update through Kies using the Registry Patcher tool so... Should I backup the device, do a factory reset and THEN upgrade? Should I also then factory reset again AFTER the update is complete?
So sorry for all the questions but if you are feeling helpful then I would much appreciate your advice and help on this.
Thanks in advance...

i was really interested in installing a new rom, specifically cognition, and i did, but i figured since i just got my captivate and all my media was on my sd card and i barely installed any apps, i would just skip the titanium backup step. I definitely was able to get the new rom, but i think i may have messed up something big, even flashing back to stock didnt help. I just want to know exactly how important titanium backup is and what it really does other than save a few settings and apps.
If you want me to elaborate on what i messed up just ask

You are asking for help so don't you think telling what happened is important. Tibu backs up your apps and data. If you use it don't select system data because that will screw stuff up. Its not necessary to use tiny but it is very useful.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Skipping TiBu step should not affect your ROM. It only backs up your installed apps with data, so you do not have to reinstall them one by one manually after you flashed.
ok thats exactly what i wanted to know. thanks for clearing it up guys.
hi
don't know if this is the correct section, or if i should have posted in the nand development, but i'll try here
i love my current rom, but wanna try something new. so i'm wondering if there's a possibility for me to make a complete backup of the rom (like a dump or so), which i can easily flash back.
magldr 1.13 ist installed, but no clockworkmod or something like that. i read that when flashing clockworkmod recovery your rom will be wiped, and i don't wanna lose my current setup.
i'm aware of titanium backup, but as far as i know it "just" backsup applications, settings, contact, etc., not the whole rom.
do you have any hints for me? that'll be great
thank you very much & have a nice day
ahh sorry friend..

I dont know if this is possible without Clockwork(Recovery)Mod Im sure somebody here may know something about possibly doing it but, they will probably tell a way where you'd need CWM installed, or you wont get an answer of how for sure to use something by the time you want to change, it's addicting lol
Hi, I am trying to find a tutorial on how to backup my factory rom (after root of course).
Is there a way to do that? I want to backup in case I mess up with the phone.
The other question is, if I root the phone, the updates will keep coming normally?
Thanks.

You can use the bootstrap CWM Recovery to back up to sd card. Other way would be a complete Titanium backup.
If you just root it, you can still use the FOTA upgrades. Don't know if recovery kills it, as it's no "real" recovery.
