How to Lagfix your device.

I think since I did how to root, there is a deficiency on a good overall rooting guide.

So I decided to write a small simple new user friendly tutorial.

*********************************************
******** You need root to be able to Lagfix.*********
*********************************************

For those that don't know what root or Lagfix is Please click here. Link for how to Root at the end of that post.

Before you Proceed a Disclaimer I can not be held responsive if you brick your device.

As long as you follow the instructions down to the letter you will not have a problem.

To carry on over here you need to have read the first post on the link above.

OCLF (Depreciated)

As may know the OCLF is no longer supported and will not run on the Malaysian JPE, or the European 2.2.1 or JPY+

First you need to download the newest file from here. Version 2.3.0

• Once downloaded copy the apk file over to your phone.
• Using My files App or any File Manager Locate and Run the apk file
• Go through the installation
• Locate and Run the OCLF App
• Now Install Ext2 Tools, the phone may restart, and take a while to get back in give it upto 10 minutes
• Now Install Lagfix it may Restart again, give it upto 10 minutes to get back

Congrats you are lagfixed.

Voodoo Lagfix

This when compared to OCLF is much faster.

Download the suitable version from here.
Get the Odin Package.

If you are on Windows You will first need Kies, if you don't have it first get it.
Link to Kies: Click on
Software.

Get Heimdall from here.
Link at bottom.

Ok now that we have the prerequisites we can start.

• First thing to do is Open Heimdall
• Now Close Kies make sure it's not in the status bar in the bottom right click on the << button to expand the status bar to make sure Kies is not there.
• Enter download Mode
• Now Plug the Phone into the computer.
• In Heimdall Select Browse for the PDA Tab (FactoryFS), Make sure Re-partition is not checked
• Now Press Start and it give it a few seconds.
• Now the phone should reboot itself, It will take upto 30 minutes for you to see your phone now so be patient, you will know it worked because there will be an Android lady telling you in muffled voices what it's doing and provide an ETA.

Done.

Happy Hacking

Peace.

Hi,

you need the Voodoo-lagfix...tar file.
Put into PDA tab.
(You can use Odin,too.)

thanks for the replies guys. i will give it a go tonight.
just curious though, would.i have screwed my phone had i run the file throught a zimage part?
the.worrying thing is that i have no backup either, though this phone being new i  guess you can just do sme kind emergency factory reset and i wont care coz i have contacts on old phone.
...right?
i just am really not so keen on screwing up the most expensive thing i have bought

I just followed your "How to Root your Device. Spoonfeeding." thread and then this thread.

The phone reset itself but is still on the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen, it has been there for almost an hour.

Any ideas?

Glad you started another thread for this, Repped.

I will follow progress there.


Well this depends on you, If you are on 2.1 I would recommend OCLF as it's alot easier to pull off and a lot faster too.

But if you wish to go with Voodoo on Eclairs then yes go with 3.0 Put is in FactoryFS

As for you if you should upgrade or not that is a personal choice. Some people don't like Froyo others love it.

I myself am a bit of a beta tester, so I am always at the latest fix. I will recommend it but it's not important if you are happy with what you have.

Peace.

I had the same problem. I figured it was something with heimdall, so I just used odin instead. Everything seems to have worked out fine. I have stock 2.2.1 (ZSJPJ) rooted via superoneclick using winxp.

IronSingh im after flashing my galaxy s with JVK so its 2.3.3, I've rooted it and all it needs now is a lagfix;) are there any out for gingerbread yet?
