How do I overclock my G2?

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?

I am new to this! So how do I Root my device?
Note: Make sure you download and install Samsung Kies before performing any of the steps below to ensure everything goes smoothly!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 1
Download Odin3 v3.04 from HERE
Step 2
Download Insecure/Original Kernels from HERE or Latest ICS Insecure/Original Kernels from HERE
Step 3
Goto Settings > Developer options and Enable USB Debugging on your device.
Step 4
Reboot your device into Download Mode. (With Device OFF, Hold Vol Down + Home + Power) If done correctly your device should have a big Yellow Triangle in the middle of the screen with the words 'Downloading... Do not turn off target' underneath. (Or Select 'Download Mode' then press 'Execute' in Samsung Quick Root).
Step 5
Connect your device to your PC and start Odin. If you installed Samsung Kies correctly, you should see the box in the top left corner of Odin underneath where it says ID:COM should be Yellow and displaying the name of a Com Port your device is connected to.
Step 6
Check Odin's settings, Only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes should be selected.
Step 7
Now press the PDA button and select the Insecure Kernel you downloaded earlier. (Note: This should be in *.tar, *.md5 or *.smd format.)
Step 8
Now press the Start button and wait for your device to reboot.
Step 9
If you have done everything correctly, you will notice a Yellow Triangle with an exclamation mark on the boot screen when the device is starting up. This indicates you are running an Insecure Kernel with Temp Root priviledges.
Step 10
When the device has finished booting, start Samsung Quick Root then press the Root Device button. Wait for the device to reboot depending on which Reboot option you selected then you are done Rooting.
Step 11
This is an OPTIONAL step but you can perform Steps 4 to 8 in this guide to flash the Original Kernel back to your device to remove the Yellow Triangle on the boot screen whilst still retaining Root Permissions.

Looks Interesting and straight to the point.

Cool thing. Exactly what I was waiting for.
How does it work and what does it change?
Edit: ah, I see... Guess it uses the same mechanism like superoneclick root? Initially read over the point that you have to flash an insecure Kernel.

Its for devices that have had an insecure kernel flashed.
Select the reboot type on the right and simply click Root Device or UnRoot device.
The Rooting process simply installs BusyBox, su and Superuser APK.
UnRooting process will remove the above.

It runs similar to Super one click root but I used my own coding routines and made my app so its more specific to just the one device.

Ok, this is cool. I've always loved Chainfire's so timely and always-working root but your is worth a try too for me. The un-root feature is cool !

Samsungs are different from HTC. You need to download Odin which is samsungs own flashing app, then you need an insecure kernel both of which can be found in the Dev area of the forums.

Yes mine is simple! Flash insecure kernel then run S2 Root and Press Root Device. My Root method only roots the device and installs busybox. Chainfires also installs Clockworkmod Recovery.

I still don't know what an insecure kernel is! Anyway, I am rooted with CF's XWKE8, and I've that Yellow Tri..at boot up. Do I need to root with yours? It doesn't include CWM, right?

Tutorial to remove yellow triangle

Hi, because I have seen a lot of people asking for this, I decide to make a quick tutorial,
(I was inspired highly by lot of post every where, and of course by this one : CF-ROOT POST 2)
Here quick step :
Download and install CF-ROOT through ODIN
Download and install Stock kernel through ODIN
Extract the zImage from any kernel you want (you could do it directly on the phone with Root Explorer)
Open CWM Apps, use flash kernel, and select your kernel, flash it
Done !
Let me explain now :
Step 1) Install CF-ROOT through ODIN
Here the link : CF-Root Thread
Take the better version for your rom, example: if your rom is based on KG3 kernel, take the KG3 version
CF-ROOT will install CWM Apps, that allow you to flash kernel directly on your phone without ODIN.
To flash it through ODIN, it's simple, just follow the instruction on CF-ROOT thread. In short, your PDA and select your rom, put your phone in download mode and click start.
After that your phone will boot with yellow triangle.
Step 2) Flash stock kernel through ODIN
Here the link : Stock Kernel
Same for CF-ROOT kernel, find the most accurate kernel and flash it through ODIN, tuto inside the thread too
The yellow triangle have disappear, and any root tools is still there !
Step 3) Extract a zImage
I advice to use Root Explorer to do this, you can find it in the market. You put your kernel in your sdcard (zip, tar, ...), you can try with CF-ROOT you have used for example,
Then from the phone open the file with root explorer. You need to go in "sdcard" directory to find it.
You will be able to open it, then click on the file and click extract.
It will extract in /sdcard/extracted
If the zip contain a tar, then open again and extract the zImage.
Another way, it to extract the zImage with your computer. And you can do it from a ROM too ! it's just a tar or a zip !
Step 4) Flash it through CWM Apps
Then open CWM Apps, click on flash kernel, choose your zImage (probably in /sdcard/extracted if you use Root Explorer)
Flash it, it will reboot on it, you will be in the new kernel, without the yellow triangle !
Step 5) Enjoy !
Now you can flash any kernel you want directly from your phone, even if they are not compatible with CWM ! You have just to use this method for any other kernel (from Step 3 to Step 4).
If you have any question, fill free to tell me.
If you want to download rom from my mirror, follow my signature.
If you find this usefull, say Thanks
For people for whom the rom doesn't support this method, you can follow this tuto, it should work :

Enjoy !

thanks
no more yellow sign

You have to use ODIN (the software used for flashing) for step 1 and 2

Alternative Buy a USB jig place in USB slot job done and resets custom rom counter.

Basically you need a tools to flash the kernel, and you have to be rooted.
So a CM with CWM is perfect for this.

Have you tried this procedure on VillainROM? Many users report that they're unable to reflash cf-root kernel via CWM manager after they had flashed with Odin the stock one.
CWM manager abnormally abort to home screen without flashing the kernel.

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.

Thanks for your hard work, looks great..

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... For flashing KDZ through fastboot, good luck on that one, for some partitions come "disassembled" and KDZ Updater I believe joins those parts... You can get a better idea of what I'm talking about using LGExtract and DZExtract, I used those tools to decompile to bits and pieces the stock ROM files... Good luck and I'll be glad to help in any way...

The other day I was reading at the batch code, actually it's not that different as you use wget to download what is needed which in Linux is already embedded into the system. All you need to add into the folder structure of yours is the adb binary for Linux.

It uses 7-zip as well, which I'm going to use more of later. I also need to know what each of the commands in my script is in ubuntu commands, because there are differences.
I need something that will work anywhere (like adb) that will handle zip files. I don't think you can get 7-zip like that for ubuntu. If I'm wrong can someone post it? I've had no luck, and I don't want to ask people to start installing things

unzip is generally already installed in Ubuntu... If you wish, I'll write some code later when I get home so you can get an idea and continue to work from there...

no it's alright, It's just getting to a point where I've finished it all. I've got the rest of the day today and all tomorrow to port to ubuntu and add a kernel flasher

Advice Needed

right hiya,
I have a sony ericsson xperia arc s running android 4.04 and my carrier is 3 but I am locked to Tesco mobile (no modifications otherwise)
so recently I have been considering whether or not to put cyanogenmod 10 or 10.1 onto my phone, but currently do not have enough faith in my abilities and so have a few questions and stuffs :good:
so first off I haven't of yet installed any custom things onto my phone and have no experience doing so. I roughly know the processes involved and just about know how to do it but I am scared of bricking/destroying my phone.
soooo
1. how easy is it to brick your phone ( no sarcasm please) as in do you have to be a bit special to do it, or can it happen to anyone easily
2. cm10/10.1 reviews, even better is a review of that running on the arc s
3. known bugs with cm 10/10.1
4. whether or not I should go for it
5. moral counciling on the subject
6. a quick tutorial
7. response to any other questions I may have.
thanks a bunch in advance guys!
(also I am very new to the site so let me know if I am posting in the wrong place, thanks)

If you can read and follow tutorials step by step then there is no way you can brick your phone. Simply if you are not sure about something then DON'T DO THIS.

Its so good I still cant believe it. Only real downside is a camera because its really ****ty compared to stock one.

No HDMI and wifi tethering also crappy camera. Tethering should be fixed someday because it works on CM9.

If you are taking a lot of pictures and if you really like quality of stock camera then I think CM10 is not for you otherwise go full Cyanogen Mod ;D

Lrn 2 google.
Also:
"1. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* on your phone dialer to access the service menu.
2. Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Check if Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes"
You you've got "No" then I don't think you can open your bootloader so only custom ROMs you can flash are stock based ones.
If "Yes" then go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and follow tutorial.
If you couldn't find something or if you don't understand some steps then please don't start another thread just ask in here or PM me but keep in mind that I wont reply instantly.

Firstly - since you're carrier locked - have you checked that your bootloader unlock status = YES? Since CM10/10.1 both require unlocked bootloader.

If your bootloader unlocked status is NO you'll have to contact alejandrissimo (if I spelt it right) for a paid remote unlocking service.

My bootloader is available to be unlocked and I have a few other questions.
1. Is there any way to revert back to my old Rom if I wanted.to.
2. Do you think the camera issue and the others will be fixed
3. Is this an easy process to complete ( romming ) or does it take a reasonable amount if skill because I am a complete noob

1. Yes - it's called a nandroid backup, and we recommend you back up every time before flashing anything so if you screw up you can always retire the backup (providing, of course, you can boot into recovery, failing which you've to flash a stock ftf file which will reset everything to factory settings including root.) Kernels still have to be flashed on a computer though, so you can't restore any nandroid backup, it has to be compatible with the kernel. So far, there's no way of flashing kernels on SE phones.
2. Nope don't think so.
3. Not if you read the OP, do research beforehand and especially important: read the general section. There's a lot of info there on installing ROMs/rooting/bootloader unlocking etc etc etc
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium - press thanks if I helped.

sorry to be so nooby :fingers-crossed:
is there any app I can use to fix the camera
does cwm just backup my boot image or does that also back up my user files
does nandroid do the same
and also if you guys have successfully installed 10 or 10.1 on your device is there definitive set up process you could send me a link to that you know for a fact works that you may have used

For cm10,1 you can use ucam from the play store to fix the camera orientation. No idea about cm10 I havent used it
cwm creates nandroid backups which backup the whole ROM but not the boot.img (kernel)
yep standard installation procedure for all ROMs:
1) flash kernel (if applicable)
2) reboot into recovery (power+vol down)
3) wipe data
4) wipe cache
5) advanced > wipe dalvik cache
6) mounts and storage > format system, this is optional but I do it just to make sure
7) install ROM
8) reboot into system

Picture quality depends on camera drivers which are part of ROM so no you cant fix it with an app. We can only hope for sony to release source for camera stuff so FXP team can port it to CM.

CWM is custom recovery that can flash zip files and create nandroid backups. Nandroid backup is a backup of all system and user files excluding a kernel.

Start by opening your bootloader then download CyanogenMod ROM file for your phone. Copy zip file on your phones sd card, flash kernel then boot into CWM wipe all and flash zip file.

Sorry - meant to say that there's no way of flashing kernels on SE phones from the phone itself! Thanks for correcting!

I've already answered your first question. Do you even read replies? CWM backs up everything except for a kernel. CWM backup is a complete backup of all your system files and apps with all settings and stuff. You can delete everything and then restore your phone to a perfect state with this backup.
Don't look for a CM10.1 for Arc s because there is no official CM built for this version so everything you will find is unstable half baked cluster**** of unstable ****.
Start by unlocking bootloader if its already done then go to https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10 and download FXP 206 for ANZU because its a codename for arc. When done go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508585 and read about flashing custom kernels. When flashed turn on your phone and repeatedly pres volume button to enter recovery, wipe all and then choose install zip from sdcard highlight ROM file then install and you are done.

CWM backs up everything on your ROM including your apps and settings etc. So if you restore from CWM the backup would be exactly as where you'd left it - as in if you sent Ben 3 messages, those messages will still be there after a restore. If you're logged into your Twitter account, you'll still be logged into your Twitter account. All the accounts you've linked to will still be there including your Google account.
CWM does not backup kernel though. That is a different story.
As for CM10.1 yes it is an unstable nightly version but IMO it is good enough for daily use. CM10 would be more stable but it is entirely up to you - the installation procedure is still the same

I'm sure someone can give a more in depth explanation - A kernel is like the "heart" of the phone, if you interpret it that way. It allows the ROM to run. Without the kernel the ROM will not boot.
Yep - you need a 4.2 kernel to run 4.2 ROMs. Likewise, stock-based ROMs require stock based kernels and CM based ROMs require CM based kernels. Usually the thread title states if the kernel is stock or cm based but if it doesn't look in the OP

right so if flash a different kernel for 10 will I need to flash another if I want to revert to my old, stock rom which if I am running ics would be 4.04 right? yes, no?

is flashing a kernel just as easy as anything else
most of the instructions I have found look something like this
http://droidxda.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/romarcsjb421wipunofficial-cyanogenmod_18.html
they mention fastboot for cyanogen (what is this) and nothing about a new kernel. is that because they expect you to know it or because you don't need to?

I'd recommend new users to use flashtool - its easier.
Extract kernel to place of your choice. Start flashtool, connect phone in fastboot mode (menu key+plug USB, do NOT switch phone on), press the lightning icon on flashtool and select fastboot mode.
Then select "select kernel to flash" there will be a pop up. Navigate to the directory with your kernel and click on it. It will flash automatically
And yes they did - it usually says flash boot.img or flash kernel. Boot.img=kernel

Ok so this looks good.so what If I wanted to go back onto cwm click restore and go back to my stock ice would I have to flash a new kernel and if so where would I find it.
