Thank you for the reply. I don't know anything about scheduler. The phone was connected to the power source. How can I cancel it? It is stuck, pressing any of the keys doesn't work...

Stuck? Your phone got stuck while writing a file on RFS? Don't think I've heard of that one before. Anyway, just pull out the battery and put it back in. I get the feeling you did something funny somewhere though.
Could even be hardware issues...
Ok, sorry I'm a little afraid. Like I said, the phone stuck on the partition creation stage, during the lag fix running.
I have done a nandroid backup. What could I possibly done wrong?
Can I run this fix with any rom, radio, kernel etc?
and- do I need to see some animation during the partition creation stage? How much time may it take (max)?

I don't actually know what a partition creation stage is.
This is what the app does:
1. Makes a big file (long time)
2. Mounts it as loopback (instant)
3. Copies all of your data into the file (long time)
4. Renames your data to .bak (instant)
5. Creates symlinks to the data in the big file (instant)
6. Reboots your phone
As you can see, you can only be stuck on step 1 or step 3
If you reboot your phone at either point, no harm will be done. Just re-run it after.
I pulled the battery out. now when I enter the OCLF, both "one click lag fix v1+" and "undo one click lag fix v1+" are unavailable. When I check free space, It says that I have only 1050MB (before I had about 1700), so some change has been done. what can I do now?
also, can you please give me a little explanation about the scheduler? what should I do with it?

V1.6.6 will have a cleanup option you can use. It'll be out in awhile.
nothing I can do for now? can the restore boot animation work?
can I use my nandroid recovery to rollback changes?

Permission issues? i need to redo the permission again?
i rooted my " sgs2 SGH-T989 " Yesterday and as i was learning more things on this website i found out that i need to do a EFS Backup to stay out of trouble "but i m in it right now " ..so i downloaded the app ( hc-ktool ) used it and this is what it gave me after doing a backup check :
checking current efs backup.....
/sdcard/efs.img found
-------------------------------
mount returned: 255
(unable to mount image-image corrupted?)
/!\ nv_data.bin NOT FOUND in backup!!!
/sdcard/efs.tar.g2 Found
-------------------------------------
/!\nv_data.bin NOT FOUND in backup !!!
plz what to do now , i tried the other methode but i keep getting this "busybox : permission denied"
any help ?
1- are you rooted?
2- why do u need to mess with EFS? I really see no reason to do so at all
what do u mean by u r in trouble right now? is your phone still functioning normally?
thanks for responding, my sgs2 i rooted and i have done a cwm backup and also a titanium backup too, i just wanted to backup my EFS folder too as i heard many people having problems with EFS folder becoming corrupted with the use of some ROMs....so to do the backup i used ’ hc.ktool ' backup did not succeed and phone now is doing all kind of bizar things. .....turns off with just pressing power button for 2 seconds with no meneu showing...lost my contacts ....lost my lockscreen....phone freezez sometimes....but i still have the right EMEI number !! my phone is just rooted still with stockRom.
i think the hcktool messed up my phone is there a way to undo or go to previous state before i used the hcktool ?
any help is welcomed phone is only 3 months old

i should try that too, i ll give it a shot tonight, but as one of my friends advised me, i did a " dalvik cleanup + fix permissions " and It seems to have fixed both the lockscreen problem and the power off issue too...( to be honest i have no clue what dalvik clean up & fix permission do exactly to the EFS Folder if anything at all !! but i still have the screen freeze happening every now&then plus some apps forceclose " like opera browser, was using it when suddenly shut down for no reason " still having issues with busybox also
i still dont now if my EFS FOLDER is corrupted or not " my IMEI number is still the same thow...I JUST DONT GET IT ALL THIS HAPPENING AND I M STILL AT STOCKROM DID NOT FLASH A SINGLE ROM YET !!
i hate " hc-ktool"
I politely ask any person able to help to explain to me, like I am a three year old, exactly how to update a Samsung Glide from 4.0.4 to whatever newer version is able to work on the phone, that is rooted? AGAIN... I ask this politely.

No problem, we are all new at this once, right?
First Step: Downloads!
TWRP:
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/twrp-i927/twrp-2.8.4-for_odin.tar.md5
ROM:
Here is a matter of preference. If you want the latest *working* version, you can upgrade to 5.0, but you lose the camera. I presume you want the camera to work, so I suggest Bubor's CM11 for KitKat. There are other good roms too, like PAC and SediRom, but we will start with Bubor's CM11.
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip.md5sum
ODIN:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7us5q44aab1xl9d/Odin304.zip
Second Step: Prepare.
I am presuming that you are using a Windows computer. If you are using a Linux computer, I can tell you what to do also, but these instructions are for Windows. I am also presuming that you have an external SD card in your phone, if you do not, go buy one and put it in your phone.
Unzip the Odin304.zip by right clicking on it and say unzip/extract, etc. If your Windows does not have this option, you need to download a program like winzip or 7zip so you can unzip this file. If you need those programs, they can be googled and downloaded.
Third step: Further preparation.
Turn on your phone and plug it into a usb cord and plug the usb cord into your computer. If you are using Windows, it will try to find drivers for the phone. It should be automatic and just work. If it does not, then you need the drivers, which are here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0up21ccc9gajwjv/Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe
*If you downloaded this file, just double click it like a program, it should open and install drivers for your phone. Do not do this unless your computer cannot find drivers for your phone!
Fourth step: Charge your phone.
Plug in your phone and FULLY charge it. ALL the way to 100% CHARGED. No exceptions. No shortcuts. Do it. Then UNPLUG YOUR PHONE AND TURN IT OFF.
Fifth step: Put TWRP on your phone.
a. Your phone should now be unplugged and off. Open the ODIN folder that you unzipped earlier and double click on ODIN to open the program.
b. Click on the PDA button ( you and I both know that your phone is not a PDA, this is not a typo ) and it will open a browser. Find the twrp-2.8.4-for_odin.tar.md5 file and select it. It should now fill in the blank line next to PDA with this info.
c. WHILE HOLDING THE UP VOLUME BUTTON ON YOUR PHONE, press and hold the power button. When you see "SAMSUNG" you can release the power button, but KEEP HOLDING THE UP BUTTON, untill you see a yellow triangle and warning notice. If you hold too long, that is okay as it will take you straight to the download mode with the green android that says "ODIN" at the top and "Downloading" in the middle. If you got stopped at the yellow warning/triangle, press up again to go to download mode.
d. Plug your phone into the usb, and the usb into your computer.
e. In the Odin program, press start.
You should now see a serries of verbage going by on the left, at the top a green bar may fill in, and hopefully, in the end it says "success" or "pass". Your phone should reboot all by itself. If ODIN says fail, ask for further instructions. If passed, close Odin.
Sixth step: Put your CM11 files on your phone.
Your phone should have rebooted and looks just like it did before, now powered on, and in your stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware. As with any file transfer, plug your USB into the phone and computer. Drag the CM11 files to the phone. Anywhere will do, but if you have an external SD card in your phone, I recommend you put it there.
Seventh Step: Boot into TWRP.
a. Turn off your phone.
b. Unplug the USB.
c. HOLD THE DOWN VOLUME BUTTON and press the POWER BUTTON. When you see "Samsung" release the POWER BUTTON, but keep holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON. At the top of the screen, white letters should say something like "entering recovery".
d. When you see "Team Win Recovery Project" release the down volume button.
Eighth step: Make a backup!
a. Press "Backup" button on screen.
b. Check all checkboxes (system, cache, data, boot, Android Secure)
c. Press "Storage: sdcard (xxxx mb)" bar.
d. Select "External_sd" to choose to backup to your external sd card.
e. Slide the swipe bar to the right to backup. This will take a few minutes, with progress bar.
NOTE: if the screen dims, when you touch it, you will see a TWRP lock icon, swipe right to unlock it.
f. When backup is completed, it will say "reboot system", do not click that. Click the "home" icon in the lower left corner.
g. Click the "Wipe" button.
h. Swipe right to factory reset.
i. Click the "home" icon in the lower left corner.
j. Click the "install" button.
k. At the top, click on the "Storage: sdcard (xxxx mb)" bar.
l. Select "External_sd"
m. choose the cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip
n. When that is done, click on the "reboot system" button.
The system will reboot. You should now see CM11's boot screen. The first boot takes a bit of time.
Ninth step: Thank Bubor.
a. Log into XDA.
b. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/captivate-glide/development/dev-cm-11-0-t2802184
c. Slap every thanks button that is for a post by Bubor untill it tells you that you cannot slap any more thanks buttons (that is only 8 thanks per day).
Tenth step: Enjoy your phone!
....I think you know how to do that.....
If you have ANY questions, please just post them here and we will see if we can answer them.
I am thanking you so very much! Also... I do apologize for such a time lapse in my reply. Life happened.
I followed the above procedure and have CM11 installed. But my problem is I can't use my SIM card anymore because it's like my phone doesn't see it at all. I checked my settings and saw that I no longer had an IMEI number. I used the restore feature and the stock ROM had an IMEI number. What should I do? I saw a few threads about using a program to rewrite the IMEI or others to copy the file containing the IMEI but I wasn't really sure what I should do or how to copy files to and from that partition from my computer. I should add that the phone is unlocked.

Great question, and an interesting problem!
First, I am really glad that you followed the instructions and made a backup! It is good to know that you can always go back to the way it was.
I recommend that you download another rom from the developer section here, such as Sedi-rom, omni-rom, etc., and try flashing that. If you flash one of those roms, does your IMEI stay for those roms?
Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789727
You can do steps 7 through 10 with any of the roms in the developer thread. If this other rom works, you can use it, or download others and try them. If the SediRom does not work also, then we will need to sit down and figure this out.
I really appreciate the fact that you're here to help.
I downloaded and installed SediRom 2.1.2 and my IMEI still shows as "Unknown." However this time I should add there is a serial number, which I don't believe was present in CM11 or in the stock ROM, although I'm not sure if that's at all significant. I made an external backup of the efs file from the stock ROM, is there some way I could just reinstall CM11 and replace/overwrite the efs to give it an IMEI number? I'd really like to use CM11 if possible, I was enamored by how good it looked and how functional it was, especially since the last time I tried CM a long time ago I didn't have such a good opinion of it. Plus the bootloader is friggin sweet !
I recently got the phone unlocked off eBay, so I don't know its past history but I was able to access the network when I had the SIM card in prior to initially installing CM11 but not afterwards. I'm trying to use a T-Mobile SIM but like I said I was able to successfully access the network prior to installing CM11. But the IMEI doesn't show at all regardless if the SIM is in at all.
Is there some kind of different hardware/firmware like in a newer slightly different version of the phone that came out resulting in compatibility issues? I'm not the most experienced but I've dipped by toes in this before, so I would be willing to go the extra mile if it meant I could get CM11 to work, because honestly it looked like everything I could ever want from this phone with a good looking theme too...
Do you have a full backup of the efs partition?
If so it should be enough to restore it.

Yes I believe so. I used the procedure from this thread to back it up. I tried copying the efs directly over using the built in file manager with root access, but when I try to copy the entire efs folder over I get a non-descriptive error "this operation has failed." I tried copying the nv_data.bin folder by itself to overwrite the one currently there (which copied successfully), then rebooted the phone but the IMEI still shows as "unknown." Do I need to copy the efs while the phone is in recovery mode or via PC or something because of file in-use errors or something else I don't know about?

Well restoring efs have to be done in recovery only! Do not try to do this while android is running!!
To be honest the absolute best way is having a dd partition dump of the whole partition. When you have followed the mentioned guide do you have used also dd like this?
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/storage/external_SD/efs.img
I don't know if copying the efs folder alone would work.. better is restoring the whole partition if possible. Do you have such kind of backup?

Redownload. Maybe the file you had downloaded gets corrupted or is incomplete ..

Many thanks bubor! Renaming worked like a charm.
FYI, I tried re-downloading it, but that didn't seem to work yesterday.
I really appreciate all of your work, everything is working great.
Thanks for the quick responses.
All the best!
So I'm really late here but the phone got thrown to the backburner and I forgot about it. Lol but anyways, I created the EFS backups using dd like it said, but I'm not sure how to restore them? Do I unpack them and then use ADB to move them there? I'm kind of confused. Also, for some reason going through the TWRP to the stock ROM doesn't let me root it, it crashes every time I get to that screen, don't know if that's important to the operation. Hope I can finally get this stupid thing working right with the custom ROM...

Okay so I used TWRP to do a factory restore, flashed SuperUser, then flashed CM11, went into TWRP and did the terminal commands you listed in the guide for backing up the EFS... to no avail. Would it be better to copy the EFS while I'm still on the rooted stock ROM using a terminal app? I don't understand what the problem is...
