Questions on T-Mobile Stock Froyo: Please Read

1) How do you root the stock 2.2 Update?
2) Will SetCPU work on it?

2.2 ota is not out yet and you can't root it cause you have to downgrade to an engineering rom to root and then flash a pre rooted rom,I assume devs will release a flashable rom of 2.2 soon after the official release and we will probably have a stable aosp rom before the official release so I'm really no stressin it.

Dont be a tard and post in the right section.

That's very nice of you to do so. I hope you don't have to wait too long. The update with sense UI might be a long time. Maybe early fall...

i would love to ave a foyo based sense rom, i really like sense and i am not really sure why but i doubt it will be here any time soon

Thanks for trying to keep the peace. It helps when I have others who who do this.

[Q] a new update from T-Mobile for the slide is it Froyo?

so today i just got the data plan on my slide
its pretty sweet and what not, i just recently got a notification saying
"T-mobile update service-
new firmware is avalible"
now im wondering
is this froyo?
should i update?
im not rooted because im a little panzy about rooting my phone, since it looks really hard
but anyways im asking what is this update?

it's most likely the last update that is already here 1.35 which is not froyo just pretty much a patch update for a few things.

Scroll down to the root guide and begin.

cant get adb
thanks but that way is hard and i cant figure it out i cant really get adb down enough to truly trust my self to do it

Please don't use the term jail break unless you are referring to an actual iphone

my bad "Root" its been a while since i had to ask anything last question i posted was about my g1

This is about as easy as it can get, thought it really isn't the recommended method anymore. If that's still too hard for you, then you need to slow it down and start reading.

Please note that any means other than the wiki have resulted in many, many bricks; as long as you follow the wiki guide perfectly, double check your typing, etc. you'll be fine.

the www.threunlockr.com guide worked for me perfectly.

Easiest and reliable are not the same thing. The Wiki method is most reliable.

Can you say pretensious? C'mon dude really? You can jailbreak a PS3...that's not an iphone
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

The method posted by OriginalGabriel is the way to go. Trust me. I did it and was smooth as butter. I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep since I have heard of NO bricks from the easy root method. I think people see "Visionary" and get scared. It's perfectly safe for temprooting but a VERY bad idea for perm-root. The Gfree method is used for that... all you will be doing is running the scripts for Gfree instead of keying them in manually. No ADB, no hassle, much less room for error. Once you are rooted, get rid of Visionary and enjoy.

Naw, I agree with Pirateghost. Jargon exists for a reason. If one does not use the proper terminology, its hard to know what they are talking about. For instance, sometimes people ask "How do I unlock my phone?". Its impossible to know whether they are asking how to root, or how to unlock the SIM.

This +100
People coming over from the iPhone world may not know what all is going on here, so it is important to not confuse terminology. exactly like redpoint73 said, how do we know if they mean UNLOCK or ROOT or ROM?? do you know? if you do, then by all means help the guy out, i would prefer to not get the terminology muddled with inconsistencies.

Um, no ... Android is Linux/Unix based and "root" is the full access user to Linux/Unix; we're not trying to be special, we just are

I'm thinking about stealing a friend's car, better learn how to jailbreak that *****.
Sorry, the term "jailbreak" is most definitely for the iPhone, not any Android device. Don't be disrespectful now.

Rooting with macs

Sorry for the noob question... But.. is there a step by step guide or tutorial anywhere for rooting the incredible 2 with a mac. All I can find is stuff for the thunderbolt..

Sorry wish I could help. I also have a MAC but just borrow my gfs pc when i have to do anything root or mod wise. If I find anything I'll post it. You probably need to use terminal in the process if using a MAC.
Sent from my Incredible 2

I think you just use revolutionary's Linux tool. I don't think drivers are needed on a MAC. Check out this link. At the bottom it tells you how to irc them with questions.

Try asking in the general or q&a section. As that is where this thread belongs.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

dude pm me if you need help I did it on linux I'm sure its the same for mac.

what set up you think is the best to increase data speeds?

I know data speeds depends on your carrier but what set up of ROM, modem, radio, or anything you think is the best to increase my crappy speeds. Here is an example of my set up and my speeds.
Thanks
Mario

My guesses that it depends on:
How your device, specifically, interacts with the currently used modem;
Your CPU settings, if you changed them from stock;
Your proximity to the tower;
Your signal (dBm) strength;
The strain on the tower/network at the time; and,
Removing the Sprint proxy couldn't hurt either.
I would imagine that undervolting and underclocking your device would be counter-productive in this case, but that's just an assumption.
Your question is borderline the same as all the other: "What's the best [ROM/kernel/CPU settings/setup]?" Each phone performs differently to kernels. modems & custom ROMs. So why don't you try a few and see what best fits your device based on your desired outcome.

Nobdy here will go to the epic touch most are waiting for quad core lte phones
Just as a tip if you look in the android development and hacking find the v6script and scroll down to the 3g turbocharger this will help you A lot I usually only get .60 mbs with 1-3 bars but am currently getting 1.5-1.8 mbs with the script.

Find the 3G Turbocharger RC 2 find script manager and find where that .txt was saved.
Make sure you run as root which is the su icon make sure that's green and then run it. Number 5 is what I use but test em all via speedtest.net mobile and make sure you run a test first then do the script then reboot and test each one. Make sure to reboot after each time you choose one
