How do I overclock my G2? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm very new to overclocking, and so far have managed to only perma-root my phone. I don't understand how to install any of the kernels, and following a method in a guide ( which mentioned using adb to detect the phone in CMD) did not work, as the phone was not detected and I couldn't find out how to fix it.

To overclock you need an overclock kernel. The easiest way is to download ROM Manager from the market, use ROM Manager to install CWM recovery. After that, check the sticky in the forum for a list of compatible kernels (I use Baconbits v3), download a kernel and place it at the root of your SD card, boot into recovery and flash the kernel you downloaded.
Be sure to do a backup from recovery as well as clear cache and dalvik (in the advance section) before doing so.
After that, download a CPU app from the Market (I use SetCPU, others like CPU Tuner) and follow the prompts.

if you're trying to use adb in the terminal, you need to turn on debugging on the phone in Settings>Applications>Development before the device can be recognized by adb.

So its basically the same thing as flashing a rom like cyanogen? It wouldn't affect stability would it?

Hi, I have flashed Virtuous 1.0.1 on my phone, in description of this ROM, there i smentioned:
"Custom built kernel based on official HTC sources, including support for overclocking, CIFS, NFS and Tunneling (VPN). See post #2 of this thread for more detail on our kernel setup."
It means I dont need to do any aditional operations, except installin setCPU and play with it, right?

Just use ROM Manager It will install recovery without adb or a computer. Just do it through an Android app.
But if you want to use AmonRA, you can follow any of the above links. You'll need the Android adb tool and drivers I believe (if you are running on Windows or Linux). On Mac, all you need is adb.

So basically... I have a unrooted, unhacked etc. Desire.. I want to test some of the new 2.2 roms..
Can I, without my phone being rooted, use "rom manager" from the market and flash a custom recovery, from where I can flash roms, radios etc.? Or do I have to something before I can utilize the power of "rom manager"?.... What about the new "fake-flash" released a couple of days ago?
Excuse me, but i'm coming from an HTC Hero where the only thing you did, was using flashrec...
I'm a little confused with all the guides around here.. Some say you have to use a PC/mac (I have a mac) to "root" the desire... Others say that there is a simpler way... I'm looking for the safest and simplest ... I like when procedures are convenient

To root it you'll need a pc/mac running linux, windows or whatever macs run. Afterwards there are workarounds that makes flashing ROMs relatively simple, without having to initiate recovery form a computer first. So step one: follow the root guide in the stickied thread.

Just wondering what Unrevoked is?? :)

Hey,
All im wondering is what http://unrevoked.com/ is?? i know it says easy root but what exactly does it do??
Thanks
it flashes the clockworkmod recovery into your phone and that way you don't need a pc or the shortcuts we were using so far to enter a recovery that enables us to flash new roms etc...and i think this way you can backup your ext partition on sdcard (haven't tried it yet)
Isn't it for the Evo and Sprint Hero only anyway?
Regards,
Dave
No if you head over to the www.unrevoked.com/recovery it says its also for the desire ... Has anyone tried this on the desire??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146
apparently lots of people have
Basically, once you root your handset and you want to try out a new rom you used to have to connect your phone to a pc and push the recovery files to be able to do anything.
Then cloclworkmod recovery was written that allowed the recovery files to be stored and started from the SD card, therefore removing the dependancy on a pc to push the files.
Now this new one, unrevoked, flashes the recovery files directly to the recovery section on your phone. No need for a PC and no dependancy on the files being on the SD card. So now, once you flash this, you simply reboot your phone with the volume button held down. Wait a few seconds then scroll ro 'recovery' with the volume button, then press the power button. This takes you directly to recovery menu that allows you to backup your current rom, flash new roms, wipe your cache etc.
So it doesnt root my phone for me??

Lol I was the same, and I did brick my first one. The infamous usb brick. BUT, and it's a big but... That is no longer a problem with the new methods. Even if you did somehow manage to brick it, it can be fixed!
If you read the guides and follow them you will have a nicely rooted phone and any number of custom roms at your disposal. I don't think I could live with a stock desire now
whats the best guide to use?? and whats the difference between stock and rooted rom??
Thanks
The guide on modaco is probably the most recent one to use. it's called risk free root or something.
The difference between stock and rooted is quite big. Stock is just that, what HTC decides to give you. Once you root you can put on any desire rom available in the dev section here. They include experimental roms for froyo, loads of 2.1 roms. 2.1 is what you are on now. The 2.1 roms are tweaked to give better battery life, nicer looks, more features etc. Also on a rooted rom you can use apps like titanium backup which will backup all your apps and their info. Market enabler is an app that allows you to buy apps if you are in a country not yet supported by the market. Setcpu can be used to overclock the processor. Any new updated roms that HTC release will usually be tweaked and availaible to you well before the official release.
These are only a few advantages to using a rooted rom. Have a wee look in the development forum for the desire and see what is available.

[HOWTO]Root JV9 / JVO ( no custom kernel )

This has been tested on I9000BUJV9 and it's working
You'll need the following :
- Heimdall
https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip
for it to work you need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 , link in the program README
- fuguroot kernel for Heimdal
http://fugumod.org/zImage-root
- zImage from your desired firmware (extract the zImage file from the PDA.tar or the onefile firmware .tar using 7zip)
You'll need to do the following :
1. backup your files just in case , or if you're not on a clean firmware and wish to do so
2. turn your phone off and remove the battery for a few seconds
3. put the battery in and start the phone in download mode
4. connect the phone to the PC and start zadig.exe from Heimdall folder
- select options -> list all devices
- select samsung usb composite device
- select install driver and wait (select install driver anyway if warning appears)
5. exit zadig.exe and start heimdall-frontend.exe
6. browse from the kernel category and select the fuguroot kernel for Heimdall
-> the zImage-root you've downloaded previously
7. click start and wait for it to be done
DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE AFTER IT'S DONE
8. right after the flashing is done you'll see the fugu bootlogo ( red fish ) and then the phone turns itself off and starts charging
AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE CHARGING BATTERY , REMOVE THE PHONE'S BATTERY AND CABLE
9. after a few seconds put the battery back in and start the phone in download mode again
10. connect the phone back to the pc and now browse from the KERNEL category to your stock zImage you've extracted from the stock firmware
11. select start again and as it completes you MAY REMOVE THE CABLE
The phone starts , and voila , superuser is there and also the phone is rooted
You may also perform a hard/factory reset as the root and superuser will still be present.
thanks to Heimdall readme file
thanks to nikademus for creating fuguroot kernel
thanks to me ^^

Which files does it delete and why? Is it just drexe and npsmobex? These can be restored fairly easily. If removing these is integral to gaining root, then yes, it should be noted.
Apart from fscking Kies up (which is no great loss), what else does this cause issues with?
Personally, I think fuguroot is a great tool which works faultlessly for me over JVB-JVO, but I agree file deletion should be stated somewhere in the release notes.

Yes those files. Deleting them is not required for rooting which is the sole intended purpose of this kernel as per the authors description. I dont want something deleting stuff it shouldnt for no aparent reason and no disclosure. I am also uncomfortable the author has not rectified this. What else it might be doing? Catch my drift? ...otherwise this would be a very useful tool.

Not to be a douche but since when was fuguroot not a custom kernel?
Yeah this is a custom kernel, as it involves flashing a Z-Image, which is kind of misleading...

I was also thinking this. To defend the OP though, I think the point is that you can flash back to stock kernel afterwards
no custom kernel as in , you don't have to stay onto a custom kernel to keep the root , once you flash back to stock kernel you can factory reset and its 100% stock but with root access

On every ginger rom,flash the speedmod k13 for froyo without autoreboot,install root in the recovery options and flash any kernel you want after has always worked so far.
From the fuguroot thread. Good news?

[Q] Rooting help

Can this wiki to root a Desire Z be trusted?
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
Also, once i get the end of this wiki and have rooted etc, do I find a ROM I want and then flash it to my phone?
I am wanting to use Virtuous ROM, so i need to download this and then flash it to my phone, correct?
Thanks!
That guide is safe lol. Cyanogen is highly trusted. After you are done rooting install rom manager, flash newest recovery(which is the top click within the app) then its pretty obvious from there what to do next...click download rom and choose out the growing list.

Yes that guide can be trusted, but I would trust the xda wiki guide even more. There probably aren't major differences, but most here would agree that if you had to choose one guide, choose the one below.

[TOOL] LG P350 Optimus Me Pecan Toolkit [ROOT][RECOVERY][UNROOT]

This tool is now a legacy tool
For a more up to date version, please go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948326
This toolkit roots the lg p350 phone, then applies a recovery of your choice supplied with the software
It roots quickly and safely
it flashes the recovery quickly and safely, whether starting anew, or just fancy a change
Disclaimer
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD-cards, or any misfortunes that happen to you
This tool is fool proof, and if doesn't work, then YOU have broken it, YOUR phone was already bricked, or YOU Haven't followed the instructions properly
Do not Blame any developer for any problems. If it bricks devices, then it won't be published
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You do not need to boot into fastboot. All instructions are given to you as you work
Your phone must be an LG-P350 (also called optimus me, pecan, or optimus life)
To flash recovery, it must be rooted already
Your phone does not need a recovery installed already
This includes all the different recoveries for our phone, So you don't have to go searching for them or asking anyone how to flash recovery
If your device can't be detected then it will go through checks, such as seeing if pc can see the device (windows 7 only)
It will also download and install the drivers for you silently if your computer doesn't have them, or if they are not working correctly
The root function can be used to replace using Superoneclick
This is only for Windows!
You do not need any extra software installed
To use
download the zip here
extract to where ever you want
enable usb debugging on your device (go to setting->Applications->Development)
run "antdking's p350 toolkit.bat" (could be called "antdking's p350 toolkit" depending on your system)
follow the steps
included recoveries
RZ recovery by Keyur
ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 by Keyur
ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0 by Ron
ClockworkMod touch by Vivek
AmonRA 2.2.1 by Drapalyuk
Stock Recovery by LG
Everything is tried and tested on my phone and computer. Phone using my Bluedroid v3, computer running Windows 7 64bit
If anyone wants to suggest features, post on here
If anyone wants to alter code, or add code (only if you know what you are doing), then send the suggestions to me, I will check them and add them
Now running on Ubuntu

The only thing that I need to do now is do root the phone and apply kdz through CLI. the kdz I think I know how to do it using fastboot. rooting the phone I don't know where to start. I'd need to find out how superoneclick works, as that's the only thing that can root the later versions of the original stock rom.
a user interface would be great. And I have to learn VB.NET for school as well.
Any help would be appreciated.

For root, SuperOneClick uses psneuter, learn how it works and probably you'll get a better idea how to do it... Check AndroidLib.dll for VB.Net and Android communication...
