Does anyone know how I could manually go about removing the lag fix so I can receive OTA updates without any glitches?
This is the story...
Rooted with Z4 Root
installed Ryan's OCLF V1+
everything was working fine,
downloaded an app from the market (AR Satelitte) that caused my phone to start "black screen",
did a factory reset,
NOW, I've still got root and reinstalled Ryan's OCLF but it's showing that both the run lag fix and undo lag fix are unavailable, so now I technically have the lag fix installed but Ryan's OCLF isn't recognizing it's own lag fix.
I cannot undo it nor can I run it.

I have the same problem. When I try to run OneClickLagFix V2.2+ a box pop's up which says "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos2 less than 5KB)". This drives me mad since I have no idea what to do. The galaxy s just sucks without the lagfix. Can anybody help?

I have the exact same problem... and there was me thinking I was the only one!
I had this problem too. Eventually I just used terminal emulator, ran as su and deleted the playlogos file (and one other similarly named file it complained about when I tried to apply a second time). I got it running again, but the lagfix in custom ROMs is so much better and more stable so I got rid of OCLF anyway.

I have the same problem,"you have another lagfix....",couldn't remove ext2 tools,so i try to install the ext2 tool again,restore boot animation,and then i can removed the ext2 tools again...
For some reason that I can't fathom or find a solution for (search is also temporarily unavailable) both ROM Manager and Rom Toolbox refuse to do anything. I can't boot into recovery, backup a ROM, restore a ROM or download a ROM from within these apps. I can boot into recovery via the power button and make backups that way but am non-plussed as to why they have stopped working. Is it a super-user issue? I've not seen a super-user request/notification come since installing the apps.

try fastboot flashing recovery then flash different rom to see if problem persists
Ok will do. The only way I can do anything at all at the moment is via clockwork recovery.
I was getting an issue initially where it was telling me I needed to purchase the premium version even though it was already installed but that isn't happening anymore now.
Anytime I see the issue youre having I do two things. First fix permissions. Then I install busybox and superuser. Hope this helps

I tried fixing permissions but that just sat there ding nothing as well. Busybox and Superuser were installed.
I tried a different Drew Garen ROM and everything now works as it should. Was this likely to be a daily with the ROM itself or just my installation of it? I tried re-flashing a backup of it but the problem was still there.
Thanks for your help
I've just flashed the Orca Project ROM on my phone and Rom Toolbox works but ROM Manager won't!
Am I right in thinking that upon starting each app for the first time they should request superuser access and I should get a prompt?
have you had any issues with that rom?
Having the same problem, but only with Toolbox. I haven't gotten it to work on my ROM... That or any overclocking apps. The over clocking apps give me a boot literally a minute into turning my phone on over and over again.
I flashed orca and rom manager works great

I had to flash/install a different version of Superuser that someone in a different thread gave me. Now everything works a treat.

I have been reporting the "random reboot during standby" problem in the following thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386785
However, the thread was mainly about Screen of Death, and I have not experienced any SOD at all, I think it is better to start a new thread.
Here's the details - on Monday afternoon I purchased my P6210 (brand new, sealed). Started setting it up Monday evening. On Tuesday morning I rooted it, and in the afternoon applied the permission hack to allow writing on external SD.
Wednesday morning, I noticed the first random reboot during standby (on AC) as it woke me up. During the day, the reboot happened at least 3 more times (either on AC or battery).
In the afternoon (still Wednesday), I did a security wipe, and stayed with mainly stock apps. I only installed K-9, a file explorer and few other apps that did not require root as I Superuser was not installed. However, it remained rooted, and the SD write permission mod was not removed by security wipe.
Regardless of the wipe, reboots continued for at least 3 more times by Thursday morning. This is when I returned it to the store for an exchange.
=======
Now unit #2 - no rooting, no permission mod.
I did reinstalled all the apps I had as before, with the exception of the ones requiring root.
The result? Not a single random reboot in the last 1.5 day.
****************
The question is, what actually caused the problem. I see three possibilities:
- faulty hardware in the first unit;
- the rooting; or
- the permission mod. (Note: I didn't recall seeing the reboot until Day 3, after I did the mods)
Unfortunately, I don't know what was actually involved in the rooting, nor the permission mod. Are there any remote possibilities that they could cause the random reboot?
I spoke too soon, just had my 1st random reboot on the new unit. It still hasn't been rooted or modded, only running legit apps downloaded from Play Store. So I guess whatever causing the reboot happens out of the box...
[Update] After having two random reboots in one afternoon, I deleted the last couple apps I installed. It has been reboot-free in the last 2 days!!
One of these apps that I deleted was Dell Voice (may be it doesn't play well with my wifi only tab).

Just to clarify, I haven't rooted my tab to date. In my case, I definitely have the reboot issue without root. In your case, would it be the apps you installed after you rooted, rather than just the rooting itself?

Google goggles. I'm guessing it wasn't the cause of problem.
I don't really know what caused it to reboot but it has'nt done it since i went back to stock. I don't think it was the apps cuz the only other app that I dont have on my tab now ,when it was rooted is the app that changes the screen density [ I don't remember what it was called]... I also used titanium backup when I had it rooted but I know its not that app cuz I still have it installed
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
It's probably irrelevant, but I found that if I increased the screen density to 180dpi (probably anything over 160?) using the DPI Changer Utility app, then the tablet would boot to the homescreen and then reboot, over and over.

I also concern that rooting may contribute to the random reboot. I wouldn't mind to experiment it, but I don't know how to completely remove root if I need to.
FYI, I have the Canadian LB2 firmware, and it is not available online for me to flash it to the tablet using Odin.
Could you share with me how you did the unrooting (reverting to stock ROM)?
Well to throw a wrench into the mix I have my Tab Plus rooted and I don't get random reboots on LA3 firmware.

P6200 or P6210?
It seems to crash when apps cannot access the network during standby, and that's why some are fixing the issue by installing the Auto Airport Mode app.
Hence, having 3G or not may make a difference.
I have a 6210 so no 3G for me.

Thanks, I'll definitely try rooting, as soon as I learn how to unroot first.
PS. Do you have Titanium Backup, or did you change the display density? (These are the other suspects that could cause the reboots in wolverine's case)
I use rom toolbox for freezing apps and other things so no I don't have titanium backup.
I have changed the density before (also using rom toolbox) and didn't like the results and went back. So for me it is still at the normal 160.
I hope I am being of some help here!

When I did the update to LA3 it unrooted mine but this should work just as well:
1. Download a file explorer, allow root acess, mount as r/w
2. Go to system/bin
3. Find SU file and delete it
4. Reboot
I didn't do it this way but it should work, do it at your own risk. I am not responsible if something happens to your tablet

I too, prefer to unroot by flashing a factory image with Odin. The problem is, I have a Canadian P6210 (w/o IR port) with LB2. Until LB2 factory image is released (or something newer), I don't think I'll root my tab. It has been running rock-solid without any reboot for the last few days, I don't want to risk losing it by rooting.
Update - still not rooted and running only apps installed from Play store, it suffers from random reboots. Sometimes once or twice in one days, other times no problem in days. No obvious patterns noted.
By the way, also have one SOD in about 2 weeks that I own this tab
A quick Google search shows that this problem is reported on many models of galaxy tabs (7.7, 10.1, ...)
I've had my 6210 for a month without issue then it stared sod and reboot with great frequency. I read about a few solutions but I couldn't understand why it would start happening without me making setup changes (unless hardware failed or a write failure corrupted something). I decided to reboot in recovery to clear the cache. Its been two days without a problem. I have no idea how long it will last but it's working for now...

I'm on LA3 as well, I've never experienced this problem. Maybe there is some common denominator here, like manufacture date etc.
So I went through the instructions of getting root on the ICS leak and got some weird results. I flashed the superuser file once and got an error. I ran it a second time after reboot and made it further but still didn't complete. I ran it a third time without reboot and it completed and seems to be working.
What could have caused me to have to flash it 3 times in order for it to take? There shouldn't be any issues now that its there and working but my curiosity is peaked as to why it did it. Any thoughts?

From reading other posts that's not a unique experience. Not sure why it happens though.
that's just how it works; i had to flash twice, well once then fix permissions, then a second time and it worked.

I left that part out, after the initial try it didn't take I ran fix permissions, rebooted then flashed again with no luck. The third time was the charm though. So nobody that has experienced this has had any troubles with it? Its basically just a weird bug that crawled out from under the table just to disappear when you came back with something to kill it with... Damn things...
I had the same issue .

I used the same process to root and mine reboots and powers off fine.
I also had the failed install flashing Superuser.. ended up moving it to the internal storage and I didn't have it happen after that. Not sure if its just coincidence or not.
Everything else seems to be working great, Rom Manager just won't fix permissions. Having no button or force close issues.
System won't mount r/w in root explorer. Anybody else having this problem?

Nope, using ES File Explorer I turned on Up To Root, Root Explorer, and Mount system as writable and was able to create a file and delete it.
I've always had to flash the su zip numerous times before it took. Don't reboot recovery just keep trying. Ide say there is nothing to worry about since its happened from day one and I've never had any problems before. Still don't have any issues :thumbup:

These are the issues I'm currently having.
I ODIN'd ICS and CWM. Installed SU (3x) and Rom Mngr.
I no longer have Home button functionality, though I did on and off after flashing ICS.
Rom Mngr. throws errors when attempting to Fix Permissions and it won't.
Rom Mngr. throws erros about the Internet, messaging, etc has stopped working when first attempting to accomplish a task.
The Power menu consist only of Power Off & Restart. Restart freezes and requires a battery pull.
Factory Reset also freezes.
EDIT: After installing CWM via ODIN and then ROM Mngr., it wouldn't recognize that CWM was installed and prompted me to install it.
I have rooted my phone but not unlocked the bootloader and it seems my phone just slightly more sluggish than before. I noticed nova is now taking a few seconds to reload and it never used to do this. The phone just doesn't seem as responsive as before I rooted. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me being paranoid.

Just flash the ATT RUU. Im using the Rogers one and dont notice this.
yeah just flash the RUU I did have this kind of issue the first time I've rooted the phone maybe I've made a mistake ... anyway after a fresh flashing with my Original "rogers" RUU and rooting it again everything was fine !
Good Luck

Before you RUU, have you tried just doing a reboot? (holding the power button until the phone reboots). I noticed that this phone may get sluggish without rebooting for a while. I'd also install a task manager program to see if any apps are hogging cpu.
Cheers,
Is this any different than turning it off (fastboot off) then back on again?
Different problem but similar topic.
I rooted my phone using the one click utility with no problem.
Today, I installed script manager to run a script for the V6 Supercharger mod. Everything installed fine until the very end, at the end of the installation, I received a message that Script manager has stopped working. I then closed it.
Now I'm trying to run a different script, as su, but I receive a "permission denied" message. I entered su into terminal and get the same message, "permission denied".
This led me to believe that I lost root. I tried running the one click utility again but received an error (I don't remember what it was sorry). EDIT : The error is: "protocol fault <no status>"
EDIT 2: I'm also unable to update the SuperSU binary. I only get "Installation Failed".
What is going on here? Did I just lose root?
