Removing lag fix

I applied ryanzas lag fix and want to remove it quickly. Will formatting my phone via settings remove it? Does this remove root because I want to keep that.

What version of his lag fix did you apply? You could just use the unlagfix option if you used the market version or the one click.

I did the original the one that required a computer. Can't get to a computer for like couple of days and wondering if I can just remove it doing that method.

Yes formatting your phone.still remove it

I believe if you download the lagfix from the market, you can uninstall it. It gives me an option to remove it.
Search for "lag fix" and you'll find it in the market.

This will only work for lagfix V1+ If I remember correctly. I had installed the one click alpha version via adb and wasn't able to uninstall using the OCLF app. I had to do a complete wipe to get rid of it. The unlagfixme didn't work for me. I installed the app to make life a lil more simple after my wipe.

Do a titanium back up of all of your apps, flash the vibrant stock firmware, or even the new leaked one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780935
Than use titanium to restore all your stuff, and you will have successfully removed it no matter the version you had used.

I have to go back to odin? You sure the format won't work?

If you did the computer one, you can undo it the same you you applied it, by clicking the file that says "undolagfix" or something similar.

I also installed OCLF but the market version and then I undone everything... But I noticed I still have update.zip should I delete it? Did stock vibrant come with update.zip?

In this forum there is the stickied thread for beginners that links to AndroidCentral directions for a one click method.
I used that to get rooted without any issues.
Then I went to the devoper forum and used the How To guide for getting DL30. That worked with no issues too.
1. You need to upgrade (OTA if possible) to DL09 first.
2. Follow directions exactly as stated.
3. After root, install Titanium Backup. Its not mentioned in these directions but its very helpful and lets you back up specific apps. I only backed up my apps that have specific data or were actualy purchased. I redownloaded others, such as maps, etc.
4. Follow directions exactly as stated and be patient.
Now, the first time I had ran the one click, I got the same 'error'. no worries, just run it again. It took me two times for it to run properly.
Make sure you are following directions and have USB debugging and don't click the notification to start mass storage. Just turn on USB debugging and plug in the phone, then run Odin and files as directed.

Yes. It worked just fine. I think those that had errors maybe had DL09 from this dev site vs the OTA or simply didn't follow the directions perfectly.

ok.. thanks for clearing that up

I had an issue with the one click root.
The phone needed to be power cycled and unplugged from the computer during the first auto-reboot and i had to mount then un-mount the device. The mount and un-mount is on the phone after you plug it back in.

Also, I read somewhere on here that the OTA DL09 was pulled due to the emergency call issue. Not sure how true it is...
And, the froyo update was the first time I rooted and loaded a different OS.

So should I keep trying to root with the one click our should I update to DL09 then one click?

You could root with one click then use Odin to flash the stock DL09 that is here in the forums.
OR, just wait for Verizon to put out their fix and of course the latest update which could just be DL30 or a fixed DL09.

So I just updated my phone with EA28 does any one know what that one does?.....it s from verizon

Since its basically identical to DL09 but with the 911 bug fixed and I was able to one-click root on my DL09 without any issues, I'd say yes.
Just follow the directions in the stickied thread in this forum for "beginners". It links to Android Central. Just create a free account to see the files.

As soon as your phone reboots disconnect it from the USB. Wait for it to boot up then reconnect it to the USB.
That is what I had to do to get the one click to run on DL09.

Wtf samsung?

I'm having nothing but problems with this update. Feels like samsung just took dk28 and renamed it eb13. I went back to di18 from dk28 so that my phone can work properly thinking that eb13 would be worth the wait but nooooooooo now I'm back to frustration I felt using dk28. Damn samsung did y'all even try to test this or did y'all just rename and called it official?

I installed EB13 using the windows installer, which totally wipes the phone and I'm having none of those problems. Not knowing how you installed the update it's hard to know what happened but perhaps clearing the caches would help.

i used odin which does a full wipe and im having no issues. im loving this

I updated using the .exe file on the Samsung site and I'm not having any of the issues you listed. And after wiping my memory card it would appear my issues with my media files are gone as well...
Sounds like you should wipe, reinstall and see what happens.

Basically the full Sammy installer through a PC *sounds* like it will do it. But the recovery boot menu also has an option for clearing the cache and I wonder if that is good to do also before that, just to be thorough.

I think that's true about the full wipe method. The update.zip method assumes that you've got a fully stock phone that you haven't messed around with. That assumption doesn't work all that well with the types who visit xda.
On the plus side, I was using a DK28 rom (quantum) and did a backup in clockwork. After I did the "full wipe" (.exe) method and then did the old 1-click to get root and clockwork back, I was able to go to "advanced" restore in clockword and restore just my data. It worked absolutely perfectly.

Please...please. I beg of you haha. Explain howexactly I would wipe my phone so that I would be able to get te update. I was fooling around and deleted the nascar app and because of this I'm not able to dowload it without and error messege.

sleven, you really should do some reading on the forums and you could easily figure it out: [GUIDE] How To Update Your Samsung Epic 4G to Official "EB13" Android 2.2.1 in the Epic 4G Android Development forum is a pretty damn good place to start. I'd use the Last Resort (Easiest) method if I were you, since you don't seem to be big on figuring things out. CAUTION!!! All three methods listed here will reset your phone to stock, though they will leave your SD card and it's contents alone.
If you want to "upgrade" rather than do a clean install so that you can save your settings & programs, follow this guide:
Download the update.zip file from http://www.multiupload.com/K1MHLS6SNX
Boot into recovery by
Power off your phone
Hold [Volume Down] + [Camera] + [Power] until you're in recovery
Clear cache 3x
Apply update.zip

Droid, from what I understand the "full Sammy installer" completely reformats the partitions and installs a fresh copy of EB13 on Epics. However, I know there's a number of people who recommend booting into recovery (stock or CWM) and clearing the caches 3x in a row. I haven't always done that, but it does seem to clear up a lot of issues that people are having, especially if they flash with Odin / Heimdall.

sleven, I guess I'm taking pity on you, cuz here's a guide to fix your little problem. Be advised, you'll need to have root privileges and a file manager that can navigate root, such as Root Explorer. If you need help getting rooted, see One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!
In the Wiki, check out All *.apks & Framework / Apps safe to remove
Download the Epic System Apps.rar file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=20HJ9004
Unrar it with 7zip, Winrar, Winzip, etc.
Find the Nascar app you deleted and copy it to /system/app
As long as your /system/app folder is identical to the Epic System Apps folder from the .rar (it's ripped straight from a phone), you should be good to follow the guide I gave you in my previous post. Good luck!
Credit where credit is due: obviously I linked to many other people's guides, wikis, etc. Thanks a lot, cuz that's how I learned to do all this!

I didn't wipe and I have no problems at all. All I did was install and run gps status and now I get instant lock even in my house. It think it is going to take awhile for everyone to get use to the setting.

With some people around here you might need to clarify that you mean to wipe the phone, not wipe with the phone....

Everything has been better than 2.1 for me (GPS, browser, etc), except bluetooth. Bluetooth still can't connect in my car.
If bluetooth would work, this ROM would be perfect.

at first my GPS seemed to be much faster and more accurate (locked into 2 meters!) but now this morning I can't seem to get a lock at all...wtf???
I used samsungs pc installer by the way. Maybe I'll try using Odin instead today...
other than that, which is a huge other, the ROM is running great. I did have to root and run the manual sensor calibration utility though to fix the screen lag
edit: Just did a battery-pull reboot and all seems to be well in epic FROYO land.

DI18 to EC05 update troubles

Hi Everyone,
I'm a total noob at this stuff so thank you in advance for your patience. A while back I installed the 1-click clockwork mod to root my phone. This morning I got the system notification about the EC05 update. I clicked the button to begin the install and walked away. When I returned I saw the following message:
E:Error in /cache/5f372cb40834.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToEC05.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
My phone appears to be frozen there. It doesn't do anything when I hold the power button down, I hope I didn't brick this thing.
I've seen mention of using Odin to flash back to stock. That's something I'll be looking into but if anyone could chime in to help speed up my recovery I'd appreciate it. Is there any chance that I'll be able to retain my contacts list at this stage?

If you had your contacts backed up on a Gmail account, they'll resync once you sign in again.

I'm rooted on clockwork 2.5.1 and my oTA failed. Everything else is stock. I tried a manual update and it failed also.

Not sure if I've done that or not. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Looking at ODIN it appears I have to start with my phone powered down. It's not doing anything when I hold the power button. Should I just pull the battery?

If you saved your contacts to Google then yes they are saved. If you don't know then go online to your gmail acct and when tmyiu log in to your email you'll see all your contacts to the left. So when you get your phone up and runnunig when you log into your gmail acct it will sync all your contacts to your phone. As far as Odin if your phone is locked up then that's the best bet. Trust me its easy. Since their isn't a tar file yet to ec05 your best bet is to Odin a fresh install of di18 and then you can accept the update or do it yourself. I can't post links using tapatalk that I'm on but look in the development section for Odin. You will need Odin and the di18 tar file. If someone comes thru here maybe they can post it. Anymore questions just ask or you can pm me. Good luck.

I think that one click root removed the Asphalt 5 Demo apk, which may have caused your problem. If you cannot get the phone to boot, your going to have to wipe it, and start over. If you can, then reinstall the Asphalt 5 and try again. Hopefully your contacts were saved to Google, you can log into your Gmail account and look for them there. There should be a warning when you add a contact on your phone that states what the repercussion are if you add to the phone instead of Google. I have my contacts & calendar backed up on Outlook , Gmail, and even my Ipad (Ipads are crap BTW). Good luck.

Okay, I have successfully rebooted my phone. It's still running DI18. But since I'm having issues I'm going to hold off on the update until I get home from work to try and figure everything out.
Thanks again for everyone's help.

What happens when you pull the battery and place it back in? Does it go to the same spot? I think I read somewhere that some people were successfully using Odin with the battery removed. I guess you could remove the battery, plug in the USB, hold 1 and hit the power button and give it a try.

That's what I did, and it worked as you described. My phone is working again (just like it was before I initiated the OTA update) so I'm going to wait and try this again after work when I have more time.

I'm glad you at least have your phone. When you used the one click root it removed a stock app and put clockwork recovery on your phobe. That's why its not taking it. Your best bet is sometime yo Odin a fresh di18 and then it will take it fine. Or wait a little bit and there will be a tar file to ec05 that you can put in Odin to flash directly there. If you.need anything you can.pm me.

There's a very easy manual Odin + Froyo + root + no.kill.data procedure out there on the webz (first came across it on another forum, which thanks a dev here on XDA) and I must say that it was very very straightforward. PM me if you want the link, but before you do anything make sure you:
- download and execute the correct samsung drivers
- make sure you check the box at: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging
- read a bit about the process first
- download and open the ZIP or RAR files (from the procedure I mentioned) so that they are ready to go - make suer you put them all on your desktop
- follow directions precisely
- be patient
This was my first time zapping an Android phone (moved from WinMo about a month ago) and it was very worry-free. Remember, computers are dumb - you have to do things in the right sequence or have the proper switches toggled correctly. Luckily, humans have sussed out the process for us!

I have a really stupid question

Ok guys I have a Samsung Epic running Gingerbread EL30, kernel version 2.6.35.7 Hardware version D700.0.5.
I have read and read and read both here and on SDX, and I'm still lost, also I'm as phone literate as a rock.
What I want to do is obtain root access to my phone without replacing or changing anything because I like the performance of eth phone, I just want to get rid of ads, and some of that good old Sprint and 3rd party bloatware thats killing me. is there a program out ere anywhere that simply gives me root access, without changing roms, kernels and stuff like that?

You don't need to install another kernel to keep root. You just have to remove the restore-recovery.sh file (I think that was the name). You would have to install Clockwork twice to do it.
1. Install CWM via Odin and reboot, pull battery once it shuts off and before it reboots, put battery back in and do 3 button boot into CWM recovery
2. Install su.zip and reboot. Once rebooted it will restore stock recovery but you will have root
3. Use some kind of file manager like ES Explorer and delete or move the restore-recovery.sh (I think that was the name)
4. Install CWM via Odin again and reboot. This time CWM Recovery will stick because that file has been removed which restores stock recovery.
I have done this on my phone and my friend's phone and CWM recovery does stick.

I was told the recovery.sh is not in EL30.

After doing the update, I lost root so I tried to go into CWM recovery to reflash su.zip and saw that it had reverted back to stock recovery. After I installed CWM twice and install su.zip, looked in the filesystem and saw the restore-recovery.sh file was back in it again so I assumed that the EL30 update put that file back in. It was a simple fix either way so I didn't really sweat that it had removed root and CWM recovery.

Since I already have EL30, I'm hoping I don't get any updates pushed to my phone, now that I have complete root access, I can install whatever I want

Just make sure to return the phone to stock should you ever have to take it back to sprint.

Why? if I take it to Spring it gonna be because the thing is totaled and doesn't work
Besides this is my last Phone from Sprint, I have another epic ( factory) from Best Buy and with their black tie service they couldn't care less if its rooted or not and thats the next phone I'll have turned on if this one breaks

Well guys thanks, for all the help but I just smashed my phone with a ball peen hammer several times, Google market said it was updating to Google play and it totally screwed my phone up to the point it went back to a factory startup, and since I have ptsd am under a lot of stress I lost it and destroyed the problem, Now I'm stuck with my wifes phone and its gotta go to best buy and get replaced cause its a total pos.
Starting to wonder if I even want a phone, I remember when I was a kid we didn't have phones and my life was a hellofa lot easier.
