I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.
I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.
DecaFuct Max 768Mhz Kernel
DecaFyct Max 698Mhz Kernel

These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.
Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?
Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.
You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.
Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though
What does resigned mean?
ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?
Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.
awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.
Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

That's weird it should. I have my applications checked to be installed to external memory but I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Mine go to sd
How would I click that option.

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose
The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.
use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?
Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

I believe it is, 710 maybe not to sure I have never ran it. There are faster smoother roms to run, why that one when we have Froyo for the Hero
I sure hope someone can help me. I finally rooted my stock 2.1 in the middle of February and then the 2.2 update version came out. I un-rooted the 2.1 version, updated to 2.2 and decided to root again and try out a custom rom. I backed up all of my data using rom manager, downloaded my rom of choice (I wanted to try PARAGON) and connected my phone to the PC. I went to copy PARAGON to the root of my internal SD and it gives me the message "Cannot copy paragon-rc6-full:the disk is write protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk." (it is now a CD drive instead of a removable drive) I've spent the last two days searching for a way around this to no avail. I saw a few threads that were similar but none provided an answer. As an aside, my camera now says "warning camera failed" and won't take pictures ever since the update to 2.2. Id like to go back to JH7 and start over again but can't copy the rom to the sd to do it. Any help, guidance, or directions where to find help will be greatly appreciated.
Use Odin 3 One-click to go back to a stock rom and start over.

Hello
After a couple of days of hunting a new update for my new phone, I got to a dead end.
After trying multiple ways (most of them are from here so I will post only 2-3 links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 , the problem was the same. After sync and starting installation via USB (phone freezes) and SDcard (phone freezes automatically with starting Heret.exe) I don't know and really can't find a way how to remove WM6.5 (and put android) or someway update or install a fresh version.
I hope someone will be willing and able to help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, what *exactly* is your issue? From what I can see, you're trying to install android and it's not working for you..
Either way, first, format your SD before trying anything. See if that will get your phone to respond. If not, get a new one. The problem with SD cards is, when they fail (or get corrupted), it can cause your phone to "almost freeze". Instantly fixed by removing the SD. And booting the phone without it usually allows the phone to work normally.
The SD is brand new (4GB), and I also tried with 5 other SD cards (2 and 4 GB's).
I don't think it's to the SD card's, its more to the damn phone and I have no clue how to reinstall WM or put Android on it. And that the issue, how to prevent completely freezing while sync via USB and boot from SD card.
Hope you understand better now neocyke
Well, honestly dude, a T5388 is not exactly a TD2, so, what would work on an actual TD2 might not for you. Based on my experiences with clones, best is to flash with no SD in. Try visiting this thread and use the ROM there. Get the IDT flasher and work your way from there. Oh, and you might wanna remove Activesync or WM Device center before flashing.. Good luck with that..
As for android, installation for XDAndroid is the simplest thing in the world. Just unzip the FRX06 zip file to a folder (andboot is usually used). Take the topaz startup and put in the root of that folder (remember to edit as needed). Then copy *the entire folder* and dump it on the root of your SD. Run Haret from WM and that's it. Just wait for it to boot.. But then, this is assuming that your phone is supported by XDAndroid of course. You might wanna check that in the android dev section..
Hi
First post here, I'm new to Android and rooting but I know my way around computer systems in general so hoping you guys can help me, haven't seen a thread about this exact problem so far.
I've semi-bricked (bootlooped) my Samsung Galaxy Ace running Gingerbread, having rooted it last month using the upd_1 package and enjoying a bloatware-free phone, happily installing apps onto my second partition on my SD card. I've not changed my ROM, just the stock is good enough for me for now. However I was getting continually prompted by Homescreen Selector nags at powering up for some reason and I thought I could disable it by applying Freeze using LInk2SD, but since doing that I continually get the Samsung logo, the orange "explosion" (I'm with Orange) then a vibration and the whole cycle repeats. My guess is the operating system can't find the selector.apk app since I froze it.
I thought the solution would be simple - use adb shell to rename back from selector.fro to selector.apk. However I'm unable to find any such file in my system/app folder. There are a load of other apk and odex files but not that one. When I type su I get "permission denied", though I definitely rooted my phone but I don't think I have my bootloader unlocked.
I don't have CWM installed or any backups unfortunately (yes, I know...), so even if I took one now prior to a factory reset, surely the same problem would come back if I were to restore from any backup I were to take now. I can get into Recovery and Download screens ok but don't want to restore the whole ROM unless I have to, since I know it's only one APK that is at fault.
So, please can anyone tell me how to locate the selector.fro file to turn it back to selector.apk? Or can't I do that without unlocking the bootloader first, or is there another solution?
Many thanks in advance,
Graham
Wouldnt it be possible to make a zip of the selector.apk and flash it? Rename the zip-file to "update" (since you're unable to browse to your specific file).

Hi, thanks for the response
Do you mean copy a zip of selector.apk to the SD card and run it from there, same as I did when I rooted? Where can I obtain a copy of that apk from? I can't find it on my computer or via Google...

You can extract it from the ROM's zip file, just locate it as you would on your phone.
But I don't have a ROM zip file. I'm not using a custom ROM, just stock. I may go down the custom ROM route one day, but for now I just want my phone to work again in the quickest way possible.
All I need is a copy of the original stock home selector APK. Can anyone help here please?
Found the file!
Never mind, got the apk from another thread. Flashing tonight...
hi,
I have a Samsung GT--i9000 Galaxy S phone with a dodgy usb port.
I am sending it off to get fixed but need to back up the phone first.
To fully back up I believe I need to root the phone to enable back up of application data using titatium or my backup.
Phone Details
Firmware : 2.3.3
Baseband Version : I9000SRJV1
Kernel version : [email protected] #2
Build number : GINGERBREAD.XWJVN
Because the usb is buggered, rooting methods using odin etc which involve connection to a pc are not possibe.
Also because I am running gingerbread 2.3.3 apps like Z4root/gingerbreak etc wont work.
Does anyone know a way to root this phone from recovery mode, or other method without using USB ?
This thread does what i think i want for the i9001 but I cant find a solution for my GT-i9000

If its a matter of saving your data files, you can use My Phone Explorer on your PC and Client from Market with WIFI, to save the entire contents of your internal SD card to your PC ( link below on MY Android Collections)
If you still need root download i9000 root update.zip (same link) and install via 2e recovery

Thanks for responding, Just so that I'm clear, I have 2 follow up questions please
1) If I sync files using My Phone Explorer over wifi to my PC , then optus factory reset my phone, can I just sync back to phone
to get back to the current phone state ? Or is a more comprehensive backup like titanium (with root access) required to fully back up the phone ?
i.e. I want angry birds and other apps to retain their settings / scores etc but am unsure whether this can be achieved this way.
2) The 2e recovery readme speaks of flashing with odin and thus a usb connection that I cannot do.
Did you mean that I can just put the i9000 root update.zip onto the SD card and boot in recovery mode without using the files from this 2e recovery archive or am I missing something here ?
In any case thank you for your help . Love the phone explorer btw, compared to Kies this is fantastic.

If you save the entire Internal SD card, none of your data for games , settings etc will be lost, you only need to reinstall the app a new and paste back the data , but IF you want your system and data back, than tintanium should do it
anyway that is a SD card zip file for rooting ( look under unlock and rooting), as such you don't need USB connection

I used MyPhoneExplorer to sync the files on the memory card but it appears that without root access this solution will not back up hidden application data. I base this on not being able to locate the angry birds data files on the back up (or on the phone in phone explorer for that matter) ie no com.rovio...... any where. In fact there are only a handfull of com.xxx. application files under the data directory.
So it appears to me that the phone must be rooted to back up application data.
Can anyone confirm this observation : Is the only way to backup application data via a rooted phone ?
xsenman, sorry for being obtuse but do you mean that I simply need to
1) put the root i9000 update.zip onto my external SD card.
2) reboot using power/home/volume up combo.
3) pick the update.zip file from menu.
4) wait while updating then power off and on
After this my phone will be exactly the same only now with root access ?
thanks again, I need to be sure about this before proceeding.

I doubt that you need to be rooted to save your game data, it may be in the Phone memory or have its own folder under a different name
anyway, yes you only need to use update.zip in 2e Recovery as above, to root using that file , root will only install a superuser in your phone and nothing else.

there is an app on google play called Angry Birds Backup 2 SD. This will save all your progress for Angry Birds and will restore once your phone is returned. For other apps you will have to find another way.

Looks like I'm screwed as phone has gingerbread 2.3.3 and therefore has recover 3e not 2e.
To degrade to recovery 2e I need to flash a custom kernel so I'm back to requiring odin again to achieve that which of course I cant do without a working USB port.
Ok I admit defeat and give up, unless someone else can suggest a way to do this (without USB) I don't think that this can be done.
At least I know enough now to do this via USB / odin or even superoneclick once the device comes back from repair.
Need to root
Please give the link to download update.zip aka root.zip
(I bought an I9000 only yesterday.
I don't have access to PC.
Framaroot doesn't work ?! )
Thanks
custom recovery + root: use "Mobile Odin" (use the free version as you'll only be flashing a kernel) just extract the .zip file so you have one .tar file and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
