I was wondering if the SGH-T999 was able to achieve overclocking - I looked around the forums and found no information about it, so I decided to ask...I know some ROMs have it, but I'd like to stay on insecure rom for the time being.
So the question is: Can I overclock my Galaxy III without flashing a custom rom, using only the insecure rom flashed by the QCom Toolkit? and If so, how?
Download set cpu and find out. Only custkm kernels can over clock and even those dont all the time.

I'm on Custom stock - I don't know the specific name for it, since I flashed it using the QCom Toolkit (the file is called "boot-insecure-tmo-t999uvalem-cwm")...but I know it works since it installed superuser.
That just gave you cwm recovery, root, and you are now able to flash custom ROMs and kernels. So the answer is no you will need to flash a kernel that is able to be over clocked and works with stock
This might work just read the forum

I flashed the Trinity Kernel, and am so far very pleased with it. Sure, it only goes up to 1.75 Ghz, but that's enough for now. Should I feel like going higher, then I might look into Adama, specially since the creator himself warns that it's a bit risky.

I was wondering what is the easiest easy to back up a kernel for our phone? I want to test others out but still have the stock kernel incase I need to send it in to Tmobile. Thanks

Don't worry about that, you can easily restore the phone (ROM, Kernel and Recovery) to Stock (Factory).

Also, to be absolutely safe, do a backup after you install Clockworkmod, then later you can just restore the backup and flash the stock recovery.

Lol. Why don't you just save them on to your SD card? On mine i have like 3-4 different kernels along with the stock just in case i feel the urge to do something stupid to my phone.
Kernel zip files only take about 5-6MB max anyways.
I'd also like to point out this is the development section of the forum.
This is not the forum for questions of any sort.
Please refrain from posting in this section unless you are a developer releasing something you built.
Thanks!
Neldar's sgs kernel flasher on the market can make flashable backups of your kernel. Haven't tried it on this phone yet though.

I just want to change my kernel to Trinity to increase battery life and root my nexus because some apps requires root permission but don't want to change my stock jelly bean 4.2
Is it possible? If yes how?
Please reply
I am new to android and have never rooted my nexus nor unlocked my boot loader
I did tried to search xda forum but all the post have mentioned about rooting with custom recovery
I don't want custom recovery

Follow this guide.
It will involve setting up fastboot and adb (won't take long at all). Then instead of flashing a custom recovery, you can boot into it, flash the superSU zip found in the second link and when you reboot you will be rooted, with stock recovery.

Thanks for the quick reply
Will that change my kernel to Trinity or can you suggest any good kernel for increasing battery life?
From what I have searched on threads Trinity seems to be the best when it comes to getting max screen on time
So can you provide any link of for changing the kernel to any battery saving kernel like Trinity and still be on stock jelly bean?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Mmm, flashing a custom kernel will require a custom recovery I'm afraid, there's no way around that.
You could however do the same thing as you will do to get root (fastboot boot, not flash a custom recovery) and then flash the kernel, but you would have to do that every time you update the kernel as well.
My recommendation is that if you want to flash custom kernels, flash the latest TWRP recovery (2.3.2.1 I think) and do it that way.
For any questions about Trinity, just ask in the thread, I check it often, but people will be happy to help you there, they're an awesome bunch.
Also I would highly recommend Trinity, I've used it a lot. At the moment though I am using stock, rooted 4.2 while the devs start playing around with the new source. Once it's more stable I am sure I'll be back on it though.

Hello,
I'm getting this device next week and I'll be unlocking the bootloader straight away but the amount of instructions for flashing ROMs is baffling me. In the past It's been a process of install custom recovery then flashing a ROM (full wipe) reboot and job done but there's plenty more steps for this device so can anyone break it down for me because I'm pretty confused especially when it comes to rebooting into another menu to flash a boot.img or something.
Also, I'm thinking of sticking on a Stock Sense (but with bloatware removed and rooted) just to test Sense out before I move back to my comfort zone of CM9/CM10 so how would I go about this? Is there any bloatware free pre-rooted fully working stock Sense roms available?
Finally, there's a load of information about kernels which I'm new to due to never having to worry about flashing them in the past. I'd be happy with sticking to one single kernel (So I don't have to mess about with them every time I flash a new ROM- if that's possible?) so which one is the best for general daily usage, and has over-clocking enabled.
Thanks.
There are not additional steps to flash for this device.in fact it is easy. When I was new here at XDA I also was too confused. Flashing a kernel seemed impossible to me.
But I began to read the internet and the forums extensively and slowly learned.
Try ckpv5's my sense v rc2.0 very smooth pre-rooted rom.u can always uninstall the bloatware using Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately as our device is s-on u will have to flash the kernels every time u change a rom unless both of them need the same kernel.
The provision rom feels great for everyday use.use the latest Hellboy kernel that can be OCd plus added KSM support.

Thanks for the replies.
I was also wondering if I'm right in thinking this is the right order (For rooting my device via the Toolkit);
Unlock Bootloader
Flash Recovery
Do a Nandroid just in-case anything buggers up in the future.
Flash a Sense-based Kernel (So I can overclock etc otherwise I could completely skip this step I guess)
Click the 'PermRoot' extra in Toolkit.
Job done.
Does that sound about right? I think I'll just stick with Stock Sense for the first few weeks or so and if I get sick of it I'll move to a custom. I'd be happy with a Rooted stock device though just to get rid of the bloatware and have access to Adaway & Titanium Backup.
Thank you.
Yes that order sounds right but if you dont want custom right now and want to remain stock,no need to flash any kernel!just remove the kernel step from the order

Stock kernel is not OCable.tell u what,since u want to remain on stock now,root it and remain on stock for now.then after u get comfy after rooting it and get settled,flash a JB rom and a custom kernel.stock is always laggy.

One does not simply root his HOV and remains on stock!!!
HE WANTS TO STAY ON STOCK FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS!
Secondly, i am saying that since he is a bit confused about the toolkit and kernels and all,he should flash kernels later.thats a bit advanced.he will root it and then may learn a bit more and then experiment with kernels and stuff.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to flashing ROMs etc seeing as though I've tinkered around with my last 2 devices. Its just the process seems a bit of a pain (The order and rebooting into different menus to flash kernels etc) so I'd rather read into it and get comfortable with the process. So I'd like to just root it so I can uninstall any bloatware and third party apps I can reinstall from the Play Store, I'd also like to add Adblock (A big reason I root my phones). I'll be flashing a ROM as soon as I find a fully working (100%) ROM (any recommendations and a simple step by step guide to install would be amazing too)

Hey guys,
I purchased this phone today, went home and immediately rooted the phone.
Everything went fine, until I tried flashing a custom recovery than the problem occurred,
I'm on a FL24 basebad with 4.0.4, and every time my phone boots 10 seconds later it restarts.
What's going on?
I rooted the phone with Odin, once rooted I installed mobile Odin and flashed a customer "Kernel / Recovery" now the phone constantly reboots.
Install the stock kernel.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well the kernel I flashed was 0.4.0, I heard that one has reboot issues so I flashed 0.3.0 and it's working great.
The only thing I can't figure out now is how to flash CWM, keeps taking me to the download screen when booting into "recovery".

How come E4GT ROMS are so large in size, back when I had an EVO and Optimus roms were about 100MB, E4GT are about 500mb?
Well sounds like the recovery was either flashed wrong or is defective for whatever reason..
Here is how to root that version by qb77king. He is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmKN2ewatk&feature=youtube_gdata_player.....
here is a video for the recovery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb63ldWtnoM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
So I'd like to help but need to know more info to go by. Did you enable USB debugging when you flashed the recovery? Anyways go ahead and go to stockroms.net. there you can find a stock ROM to flash your phone with unless its virgin or boost.
I recommend just getting stock jellybean or wild for the night cyanogen.. I know you just bought it but I can tell you its worth it ICS is horrible,Too many problems. You can actually find a jellybean ROM that is already rooted when u flash it.. Anyways download the android root toolkit from the market... This will save your phone's root

Hey Trytohoaxme. So as of right now there is no cmw for ICS. There is Agat recovery which is based off of cwm that is for either a ICS ROM or jelly bean ROM. I have cmw that is a jingerbread kernal that interfaces with CyanogenMod 10.1 which has 4.2.2 jellybean. If you flash clockworkmod it won't work with a stock rom your phone won't be able to boost up..

Who's conceited?
I'm pretty sure he's just trying to help and avoid misinformation, no need to get offended, bud... And the op stated the issue was already resolved.
He never asked about cwm specifically, just a custom recovery. On TW ICS I've used Agat's, Ruj's, and Slesh's kernels/recoveries without issue. There's really no need for EL26/CWM tar unless you want to play it safe (which i do) going from TW to AOSP or vise versa.
And yes stock TW ROMs are huge. AOSP ROMs end up around 240 megs (give or take) including Gapps.

Well when people like you give incorrect information like you are currently doing, or makes everything more complicated than it should be, again, something you are doing, I will be rude. ICS has had source for a very very long time and has had a CWM for a long time. JB does not. I have been here for a long time and there is a reason I have recognized contributor. I may be rude, but when someone else risks someone's expensive phone, sometimes it takes being rude. If you can't handle it, oh well.
The reason for my response was because the issue was solved and the stockroms.net is not a site that I trust. We have a repository for all of our stock ROMs.

You can flash any ROM for the E4GT... You are in the right forums for that.
Oh okay, I was asking because the thread title of most ROMs say "[ROM] FL24 Kuban Kernal" ETC..
Since I'm on GB24, I can still use EL26 ROMs and all?

I Highly suggest you don't flash anything until you read up on the forums and figure everything out. Read up on kernels, roms, gapps, bootloader, recovery etc. Then when you get that stuff down read about the roms you want to flash. If you flash am incorrect file you can hard brick your phone.

I was looking at that, so I wipe everything in twrp, and flash it like normal, but I'll lose root? Download the chainfire zip and install it in twrp as well to get root again?
Quick question, if I ever wanted to send my phone into get serviced, I can completely wipe my phone back to stock by flashing that back on the phone using Odin, correct? That would do the root as well, so when I sent it in, they would be none the wiser?

Will there be completely stable versions of the Google edition s4 released sometime in the future? I'm just seeing way to many different versions of the same thing where some things aren't working properly, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as just flashing the rom. All sorts of other stuff needs to be done like changing build.prop and whatnot. I just want to be able to flash the rom and be done with it... Is that possible right now? Or no. I guess I'm not as familiar with all the terminology as I thought. I still don't know what a kernel really is, I flashed one once and it just made my cwm recovery menu different... And I know I needed a specific kernel to flash specific ROMS.. Is that the case here with these Google edition roms?
