I rooted with SuperOneClick. I ran V1+ from RyanZA's OCLF v2.3.0. It seemed to run correctly, but I cannot uninstall V1+. It says unavailable. When I try to click on uninstall, it says that it can't find playlogos1. I'm not even totally convinced that V1+ installed correctly even though it says it did.
1. Is there a way to get the uninstall working?
2. Is there a way to manually see if OCLF V1+ is actually installed?
3. If I do a Factory Data Reset, will that bring back the Tab to pre-OCLF or will OCLF setting/partitions stick around after I do this?
If I revert to factory settings will this bring back my tab to it's original state or will the changes made by V1+ not revert back? Worse yet, will it brink my Tab if I revert back to factory settings without uninstalling V1+?
I fixed my own problem. After the V1+ install I was left with /system/bin/playlogo and /system/bin/playlogosnow. The reason Undo V1+ didn't work was because it couldn't find /system/bin/playlogos1. The fix was to copy /system/bin/playlogo to playlogos1, then the Undo V1+ changed to green and worked.
This was odd because I ran the option to recover the boot animation several times successfully, but it never actually created playlogos1.
Oh well. It's fixed now.

Ok I am posting this in case it is of any help to anyone. I have friends and family that have the SGS and decided to write them a few instructions on how to update their phone. I have updated 16 phones myself so far and found this to be the best method. Each phone has worked perfectly after with none of the problems I am seeing being reported on this forum. Hope it works for you too.
Backup apps and data with My Backup (free) or My Backup Pro. Pro version backs up application data which is very useful.
If you have installed OCLF then open OCLF and Undo OCLF, Undo Root and Remove Ext2 Tools.
On phone go to Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.
When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#
When the phone restarts update phone to latest firmware using Kies.
After updating again run Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.
When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#. This seems to either use a slightly different format or wipe files not wiped previously. I really don't know but either way phones I have tested this method on have had less lag.
Turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings, Applications, Development, USB Debugging.
Change Settings, Wireless and Network, USB settings to Ask On Connection
Connect phone to pc via usb. Do not enable any mode.
On PC run SuperOneClick found here, h t t p ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682. This does not take long. Superuser will install last and should be followed by Done. This does not always happen so if you see superuser being installed for more then 10 seconds you can safely close SuperOneClick.exe. It will have installed but you have not received the final Done message.
Reboot phone and it’s now rooted.
In Market install OCLF and My Backup/My Backup Pro.
Run OCLF and install Ext2 followed by OCLF V2+.
Reboot phone.
Run OCLF, Alter minfree. Click Strict and set on boot then Fire it up.
Run Change Scheduler choosing Deadline, set on boot and tweaks then Fire It Up.
At the moment it seems if you reboot the phone you must make the last two changes again as the set on boot does not always work.
Run My Backup/My Backup Pro and restore all applications.
When finished run again this time restoring Data.
Reboot phone.
Now you may be left with one small problem. Market Download does not always show all your apps installed. Tends to be missing the free ones you have installed.
Run Settings, Application, Manage Applications, All
You will see Market and Market Updater. Go into each and click Force Close then Clear Data.
Now when you go back in to Market, Downloads you should see all your apps installed that are available in the Market.
If you have any apps installed from Samsung Apps you will need to reinstall them again. The reason being is even though you restored them the samsung app does not know you have done that and you won’t be notified of updates in the future.
All these steps doesn't look painless. I just flashed mine with Odin without the need to do anything else. After the update everything worked just fine.

Hi.
This procedure doesn't work for me, because of the Kies problem. I have yet to work around it.
However, I just want to point a slight mistake.
That code you entered doesn't work. It should be *2767*3855# . That's the Factory Reset without confirmation.
Thanks for the post.
In my opinion the most painless method of updating to 2.2 is by using Kies with registry hack tool made by Nodial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+registry . Then apply the CWM if you want root and you are ready to go
why bother with this complicated stuff if the official update from Kies will be available for every country by the end of the month?

Clockwork didn't work correctly on my Samsung Mesmerize and my phone kept powering off when it went on standby. So I did a factory reset... but.... I think I made a mistake by restoring factory data and not uninstalling the lag fix nor did I unroot before restoring. Now, I cannot install the lag fix. I can install ext2, but the lag fix buttons do not turn green for me to install. If I try to tap on remove, it says it cannot find a lag fix, where as if I try to tap on install lag fix, it says it appears that I already have a lag fix installed. Any help? Are there some particular files in the root that I need to delete
i used the latest unrevoked a while back, clockwork loaded up fine. i wanted to change my default email and was a little hasty to give up and do a factory reset. after the reset i immediately used unrevoked again, and everything went smoothly.
however my market just doesn't work. it originally refused to even start, i installed a patch and now it starts but will not download.. (the status icon never shows and eventually i get the error message)
has anyone had and solved this problem on their Aria? i've been searching for ways to manually clear the Google Apps and Market data... i'm not going to mess around in root until i know what i'm doing

Hello folks,
The SGH-i337 is my first android device and I've had it only for a few days now. I rooted the phone using the "1 click root and debloat" files in the development section of this forum. Everything worked great after that. Today I installed an unofficial apk on my phone but I wasn't comfortable with it at all. So I did a factory reset (are you not supposed to do that?)
After the factory reset, the phone boots up and gives me the usual settings menu. At the end of the settings however, it lags for a few seconds before it says "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working". This brings me back to the "choose a device name" menu in settings. If I fill it out again and go through settings, it crashes again. I can't get into anything else on the phone since it keeps going through the initial setup.
I've tried booting into recovery mode and deleting the cache. I doubt that this clears it since the phone gives me an error and reboots. I tried selecting factory reset through the recovery mode but that also gave me the same issue (said error and rebooted).
After some searching I've found that flashing a stock rom with odin might be the best way to go. Is that correct or is there a better way? On the odin download page, it only lists the 9505 version for Galaxy S4. Could I use that for my SGH-i337?
I think the phone is still rooted because it says Samsung Custom before booting up. Thanks for the help!
Had same exact issue as well.
I booted in to download mode and flashed it with factory rom, then installed CWM.

Oh man, you're a life saver. I'm downloading the file and I'll give it a shot. So just to confirm, I put the phone into download mode and run Run_Me.bat and that should fix the issue?
Also for future reference, are you not supposed to do a factory reset after rooting your phone? Thanks!
Fixed it
The issue arose because the settings program was supposed to follow up with at&t locker setup. But since I had deleted the at&t files with the debloat tool, it kept crashing. So the solution was to reset the phone to stock firmware. I used Odin 3.07 to flash the factory ROM onto the phone and now everything is back to normal.
I guess this also answers my previous question, if I'd probably have the same problem again if I do a factory reset.

Just dont use all in one tool as you did before. Just use the chooper rooting process in the link I provided.
Then manually remove the apps you dont with titanium backup.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
To preface,
I'm running an AT&T LG G2 rooted (with a couple of Xposed modules). I'm running 4.2.2
Today, I rebooted my phone after updating some apps from the play store, and then all hell broke loose. Here's a list of what went wrong
1) ALL of my settings were reset. Sound settings, call settings, screen on settings, etc. EVERYTHING.
2) My home button doesn't work. It lights up - it knows I pressed it, but it doesn't send me to the launcher. I have the home button programmed through Nova Launcher to open my voice search when I'm on the home screen - that doesn't work either.
3) My notifications panel stays empty - nothing shows up. On top of that, the little "gear" icon that should take me to settings doesn't work. There's a gear setting above that for sound that DOES work.
4) When I go to "About Phone", my phone name was reset to "G2".
4) Here's the kicker - When I go to "About Phone", the "Software Update" button has disappeared. What the hell happened?
If anybody can solve this issue, I have a small bitcoin prize for you...
Edit: Noticed something new. I went into Titanium Backup and it gave me a notification that my "Device ID" was changed. It states that this commonly occurs after a factory reset or ROM change? Here's the thing - I've never factory resetted my phone or even installed a recovery for that matter.
Notice #2: Volume keys don't respond. Although changing volume manually through the settings does work.
Quick note: I changed a value in settings.db using SQLite manager. I tried changing "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0. And then I exported the DB and saved it. Would that have caused an issue?
well all hell really did break loose here, have you tried entering download mode and flash back to stock(I'm pretty sure this isn't you want to do) but it might be the only thing to do

when I said flash back to stock I meant the download mode way just download jellybean 10d/10o or 20c installer and follow instructions on how to setup and flash

Interesting. Thanks for the link. I wonder, other than hiding the "root" flags, how is this different from performing a factory reset? I would be opting to restore 4.2.2, not Kit Kat.

well tis is different to a factory reset as in it makes everything the way it used to be like if you were just powering on your phone for the first time while with a factory reset- if you have lets say deleted bloat and modified anything in the /system or other areas they are gone forever, the factory reset is more like a wipe your phone and start again(sometimes if you are rooted it remains rooted just without the su app)

Alright then...hmm. Wait I have another question. Does a factory reset delete my internal memory, the pseudo sd-card? Like my photos/TB backup/etc.?

I'm pretty sure it does but I have always had doubts about that(I usually always wipe with custom recovery so I don't remember when was the last time I used factory reset option, plus I upload a most of my backups into onedrive/goole drive/dropbox) also using the flash to stock method will wipe everything from the phone like I said its like powering it on for the first time just in case you were wondering

Okay, so here's my plan. I'm currently ADB pulling my entire SD card (with the titanium backup contents) onto my laptop. I plan to factory reset (the default android one that's in the settings). If that doesn't work, I will use the other flash-to-stock method.
Once I'm done, I plan to use Titanium backup to restore everything including settings. Here's my question:
When I'm restoring everything, will it be 1-click? In the past when I had other phones, the only time I restored TB was when I flashed different ROMs, so it caused havoc with my settings. Since I'm keeping the stock-ROM software, will I be able to 1-click "Restore" and have everything be how it used to be (Except for the Xposed Modules of course) ?
Also...I really don't like how MTP hides the Titanium Backup folder...

well I don't think you can one click restore with titanium backup(I don't see that as an option) you have to restore everything manually
as for mtp hiding the backups, I'm on the same boat as you

Referring to TB, you can set it to restore your backups with 1 click through "batch mode", but I believe you need to have the paid version.
Anyway, everything's fixed! I actually just put a recovery on it, and then deleted data and cache. That way my internal sd card didn't get wiped.
And I did a little more searching, it seems like modifying the sqlite database when you try to remove AT&T's tethering check causes the weird issue. I wonder if it's a secret backdoor program that makes your phone unusable...

Any other way to set up wireless tether? I've read that most wireless tether apps don't work. I haven't actually tried, but is that true?
