[Q] power shutoff mid-lagfix - what to do? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
While I was in the middle of ryanza's one click lagfix (v2.0), I happened to have a power outage in my house. Literally when it said it was in the middle of creating the ext2 partition via ADB.
Apparently my gmail still works, but pandora gets an error (most common apps for me basically). I'm not exactly planning to test all features mid-failure, but I was wondering was - what things I should be doing prior to when I try to re-run the lagfix and hopefully fix the ext2 partition? That will be tonight after work, so I've got time.
I'm just trying to think of worst case scenario/etc. Phone is rooted, still running, and not appearing bricked. yet.

Perform the un-lagfix first, then re-apply the lagfix - IIRC the lagfix creates a backup of your data directory, then replaces the data directory with the new ext2 filesystem (the lagfix's guts).
The unlagfixme.bat reverts this change, and should put everything back the way it was, from which you can re-apply the lagfix. Give it a shot and see if that works for you.

thank you for clarifying, that was what I thought too, but I wasn't 100%.

"Idiot-proof" lag fix?

I've looked at all the lag fixes for the vibrant so far and they all seem to be sort of a pain in the as, i.e. connect phone to your pc, run this, blah blah blah. Being the lazy bastard that I am, I was wondering if there was an apk or a .zip "rom-like" file that I could install that would fix the problem without having to connect my phone to my pc or whatever. Is there anything like that out there? Thanks in advance.

You still need to be careful and be prepared to restore your phone from a backup. None of the lagfixes seem to ever go smoothly. The one click .apk messed up halfway through and said it was going to revert, but the revert failed miserably.

yeah it failed for me, i'll just wait for that 2.2 update, if it ever comes, and i do have a multiple nandroid backups.
How is 2-3 lagfix difficult?
Download the lagfix
Plug phone in with usb debugging enabled
Run the lagfix batch file
???
PROFIT!
I recommend JAC's kernal with ttabbal's lag fix. Stable for me and fast as hell!

I've found RyanZA's lag zip 1.0 packaged as an update.zip by Tatyama to be just perfect and simple. Just copy to internal memory, boot into recovery, and select 'update packages'.
It seems once the devs got fancier with the fixes, more problems arose, such as mounting problems, lack of font switching, loss of data, etc.
ive had, by far, the most luck using this method and its relatively simple
its also important to note, ive done this about 15-20 times now, and it usually doesnt work unless im starting with a fresh, wiped rom, and formatted sd (how u should be doing it anyway!)
1) install drivers (literally like 3 clicks, download, and open the exe file):
http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...SB-Driver-for-Windows-x86-Download-96692.html
2) Get RyanZA's batch lagfix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=384443&d=1282320979
3) Now enable debugging and double click the lagfixme.bat file in the unzipped folder. And done.
these are my results:

ive used the update.zip version of ryanza's fix and its worked flawlessly on 2 phones ive done it on. theres also a 3 part youtube vid on how to do it even though it only takes about 45 seconds of actually work to apply. its in the original thread in the galaxy forum.

Any idea what the optimal size to make the ext2 partition is?
According to Ryan, dragging the slider somewhere halfway should be good for most people
Thank you.

ryanza lag fix problem!

well, i had my phone running great, quadrant score 2100+..but im not sure what happend and it was going slow and would freeze so i decided to do a phone reset through the settings (without unrooting) i then later on tried to reinstall and use the ryanza lag fix but for some reason it shows in red as unavailable and when i click it it says already installed less than 5kb, and if i try to undo ryanza lag fix its also in red and unavaible and says theres none instaled, i already unrooted the device and reset it again and still nothing,
The folder might still be in you system memory.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

You're probably missing system/etc/init.d
btw, I'm moving this to Q&A section.
see if you can install ext2 tools again then see if you could uninstall the lag fix after that
Just click on the yellow boot loader this will remove the lagfix then you can do it again...
That is all

I just had the same problem. I undid the lagfix took out the ext 2 and did a factory reset. Hoping for the stupid sep 20th gps lag fix hoax. it was still rooted after reset. Download one click again and it was telling me i still had a 5kb lag fix installed. It was also telling me something about playlogos1 bin. So i used root exp to get to system/bin playlogos1 removed it. Went back to lag fix it told me i didnt have it. Then i put it back. And it worked. 5kb=playlogos1 bin. Dont just delete in copy and past

Im done with this (Cant Flash Correctly)

Hello guys, first I will like to thank all of you for supporting the forum and for helping me a lot. I been trying by far do the list below and I cant get it to work correctly in more then 20 attempts and Im afraid I will totally brick my vibrant.
Done Procedures;
I have ROOTed the Phone
BackUp all my files using Titanium
Flashed ClockWorkMod with Rom Manager
Flashed with ROM Bionix V 1.3.1
Delete Cache and Dalvik...
Rebooted system
At that point everything is good but once I install a kernel I start having problems with the SD recognition by PC and Installing or un-installing apps to device
Any tips or step by step how should do to install Bionix 1.3.1 with kernel Tigers Blood with Voodoo sound and colors without a problem?
or maybe to install Axura with out been so lagging.
Any reason for not testing Trigger, with OverStock 2.2?
Try trigger, or a 2.2.1 port. Pne of those may work faster.

I will try this mate and report back. I just did an back up and now lets just see how this setup does it for me. All I want is a good theme ROM, fast and stable, Honestly I loved the Axura ROM but is to lagging for me for some reason.
Bionix is great but I have the same problem with all the roms I install. When the USB is not detected then is the apps cant be install or un-install.
Will try this one as I havent yet and besides it gives me more experience nothing to loose.
Thanks mate
Feel free to shoot me a pm if needed. Just be sure you've read the noob guide.

OMG here we go again, I think Im doing something wrong. I have the same issue as the more same I do like the How to's state I have the problem with installing and un-installing soft. When i even try to restore my back up for apps from Titanium it wont let me since all the apps stay like computing. I think is something wrong with the apps system or something.
I havent flashed yet the kernel.
I will try to install the ROM again
Not to sound rude, but did you follow the instructions in the noob guide on the proper way to backup, flash and restore?
Perhaps you should just ODIN back to stock and start over if you have.
Let me know if I can help, try and be detailed in your posts though... that last one, I really have no clue what you were trying to say.
Odin root cwm flash...... I hope your only flashing one thing at a time... Not rom+kernel+theme+ boot animation or somthing wildly stupid

I really love this ROM looks great and very smooth. I will use ODIN and go back to stock then I will root and then will flash with CWM and comeback here for some tips. I want to get this right for the first time at least.
TY so much mate
Ok, Im done, I have installed the ROM and let it sit for 10 mins at least then rebooted. What step should I do now to flash a kernel like Tiger blood or OverStock.
Or what will be the next step other then configuring the login for google?

I did used the ODIN to Stock Flash my phone and then one out a time after reboot ect...
you may want to stay stock trigger for awhile and test it out.
when ready, download overstock 2.2, move it to sdcard/, reboot to CWR, install from zip (like a rom), after you flash it, reboot.... you'll notice a new splash screen for overstock, all done.

Ok, I have seen enough of this. lol I so sad to see how easy this is but frustrated when I get problems like the one I still have. Everything was great until I started installing the apps from the Titanium back up i made. It did installed about 15 apps but after those been installed successfully it just got stocked loading and it wont install any more apps or even un-install. Cant even install apps from the market.
What is wrong with this thing, is very stressful try and try and get the same result on 4 different ROMS I have tested already. I really hate to ask for help as I like to read and try it for myself so I can about a new hobby.
But this one is biting my hand very hard. Can you please tell me ehat can I do in this case mate to trouble shoot this?
Thank you for your time friend
Something I have done a bit different is that I have put the files in separate folders for more organize.
Like for sample; at sd_root/ I have a folder name Download which it have sub-folders that look like this tree below
Download
//
-Kernels/
-Metamorhp Mods/
-Misc Mods/Apps
-Modems
-Mods
-Roms
-Themes
Do you think that will be a problem by not having the Files at the root location at SD?
When you are restoring your titanium back ups, are you only restoring apps? I mean, are you restoring system data too? You don't want to restore system data, and only restore apps. Sometimes restoring system data from previous roms can cause problems.
If this still doesn't help, you might just want to redownload all your apps, and then make a backup. Sounds like your issue is linked to titanium back up.

That makes sence!! I will load the ROM again and start over and see how it goes installing just the apps. I was restoring the apps and data
If it doenst help I will continue your suggestion to install the apps one by one NOT from the Titanium as it was back up from a different ROM.
thanks i will let know how it goes.
stay away from restoring system data when flashing roms. Just the apps with the app data. Hope this helps man. If not, let's go over the entire order of what you are doing and we will figure out what is going on.

Ok here goes to nothing. I have dont everything correctly like the Guide's stating and everything works great at first but them it just stop working the whole file system apparently. Is just works great and after few app installs it just fail. When I go to check the files from the File management it just say Computing instead of loading and give the file size info ect....
What can it be I dont have a clue as I have search the whole forum and I dont see this problem posted by any other. Its just wont install, un-install or even cant stop any app from working.
What else can i do?
When backing up with Titanium, its okay to back up user apps and their data. As far as system data, Titanium has it sorted by what is and isn't safe to restore. Green entries are all good, don't back up any entries with red text.
This is how I've been backing up stuff since before 2.2 dropped, and I've never run into any strange issues.
Just a shot in the dark, but it might be a bad sd card, or just needing a format. Try backing up all your sd files on your computer, and format your sd card and see if that helps. I had some funky stuff going on with my phone, and it went away after I did that.

Some of the Developers have said it helps to completely wipe everything as in odin back to something like EB01 with the pit files so it repartitions your internal storage. Essentially it's reformatting your phone to new again, then of course rooting unless you odin in CWR your then drop in your favorite rom. it helped me the few times i had a ton of FC issues and the one time i had SOD. just my suggestion though.
First though, do you have GizmoDroids fixed CWR? Ihttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817f not you might want to start here before you do anything else.

I've done a full wipe with Odin just the other day. Didn't do the pit file though. Maybe I'll give that a try since I'm probably going back to try the dl09 modem on froyo to see if signal issues stabilize. Thanks for the input!

I have had sporadic results running the fix permissions from inside CWM. With the different versions/fixes/patches to it I am never sure which one I am on so I don't use that method at this time. Try running the fxpms from a terminal emulator with root access after boot up, or with adb. That should run correctly.
I have also had tons of force closes lately and found that the problem was that the database was getting corrupted after trying to restore apps + app data in Titanium Backup. Only way I could get that fixed was to wipe and reload a rom and manually install the apps. After that I haven't been having issues with FCs.

[Q] How to do restore using bootstrap?

Hey guys, I'm another newbie who F'ed up their phone here to ask for help lol. I tried to do a restore using the system recovery and it froze, I did a batter pull and soft bricked it I guess. I tried doing a sbf, and I couldn't figure it out but my phone just randomly restarted and it seemed like the sbf worked. So I just tried to restore the data only in advanced recovery and I think it is frozen again. Can anyone please explain how to do a proper restore from the bootstrap recovery? Thanks,
