No it's not just for a pissing contest. :)

Jikantaru's new kernel will allow you to set your clock to vary between 120 Mhz and 806 Mhz although 787 Mhz tends to work for those unlucky enough to have phones that freeze up at 806 Mhz.

The CPU doesn't run balls out all the time. It speedsteps as needed to save battery power.

You flash the kernel that you download to your SD card through CWM Recovery's Install zip from SD card feature.

Reboot and you now have Ext4 support for Link2SD, etc, and overclocking capabilities as well as a host of other kernel tweaks to handle memory management, etc.

As far as programs to set the clock with? SetCPU, Rom Toolbox, Nofrills CPU, Antutu CPU, etc.

I would choose "Smartass" as your governor and 120 and 806 as your min and max CPU settings and choose to set it at boot.

That's just my preference.

I personally bought Rom Toolbox Pro and manage the CPU settings through it.

It's got a host of other cool features all in one place and jrummy updates it very often with new fixes, features, etc.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
thanks for that.

so what about damaging the cpu or the device? is there nothing to worry about?

and what is a govener? do I need it in addition to setcpu ?
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
The governor is the method by which the phone plans it's stepping up and down of frequencies. Smartass is a tried and true good combination of power savings and stepping to the plate with high clock frequencies when needed.

No you won't need anything extra. It's one of the settings in any of those programs.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
Sorry for asking again:

It won't damage my device or burn the cpu as overclocking a normal PC CPU would do?

edit: using nofrills now. Seems to work.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Overclocking comes with no promises man. :) Mine's been overclocked since August so that's all I have to go on.
[HTC Wildfire S] moe.:
There is always a danger or risk when overclocking. The manufacturers determine the safe frequencies, temperatures, voltage, etc. based on scientific experiments in different environments. However, with that said, obviously, they are not infallable either. The best way to determine your risk is to think about what conditions you'll be using it in the most and what kind of stress it'll put on your phone's internals. Do some research and see what other people have problems with and under what kind of stress was the phone. Use common sense. Things like raising voltage and frequencies raise the temperature of the phone's internals, also. So, in turn, do you also have a case on the device that retains heat? Do you live in an humid/dry or warm/cold area? Do you do a lot of multitasking? Are you constantly on it? Hope this helps.

Just a simple question, are any pins supposed to be offset from the edge of the connector on the prime? It looks as though my 2 day old tablet has a single pin pushed forward ... looking forward, in lanscape it is the second pin from right. I have plugged this tablet in three times so far.....

Thanks all.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Revolution:
Unfortunately, I can't answer your question. This forum is for the original Transformer, not the Prime. Are the connectors the same still on the Prime? I can take a look at the connector on mine, but I don't know if they're the same.

Maybe somebody else will have a better answer, or if you haven't already, you can try asking in the Prime forum. Here is the link:

No problem, apparently it happens a lot. Just thought I would let you know you were in the wrong forum, since I didn't know if there were any differences in the connector between the two.

Did you get an answer to your question in the Prime forum? If not, let me know and I will check the connector for mine this evening and get back to you.

Hello!

I've recently flashed the ICS OS onto my galaxy s2. However it seems to be a UK version as I cannot agree to the software update agreement along with the time won't update automatically. It seems to be a little glitchy on my phone as well...

Is there anyway I can revert back to the old gingerbread?

Ya I've tried that link, I went to the link for files under the BELL (Canada) network. And there aren't any .tar files in the downloader. It's cache, factoryfs, and modem then zImage. When I flashed ICS there were .tars. :(

Any more ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
*sigh* Download the bell firmware, its a .exe, after you run it, it will extract into a .tar

To quote the thread "If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file."

Just shove it into "PDA".

Pleases read the thread.. and flash the bootloaders first, then flash the rom.

Gotta love noobs....

So saying though, I've reflashed the older bootloader firmware on mine and I'll be stuffed if I can get past a bootloop....

Flashed the KP8 firmware on to test but wanted to go back to older rom...

Tried my stock rom, a few other stock roms and finally went back to KP8..

It was the only one that worked...

Will play around as time permits but doing backshift can REALLY knock you about..:D:p

I recognise your avatar, did you ever have a HTC hermies, or a blueangle? ;)

As far as the getting back to GB, you should be fine doing;

1) Odin flash old bootloaders

2) Odin flash firmware

Can you get into CWM recovery? Maybe flash something via zip, white cache/data/etc?

Otherwises thats just weird, I have seen peoples phones do weird things after flashing the ICS leaks, like someones refusing to run CM7, even after flashing back old bootloaders and double flashing the CM7 zip.

Im staying away myself, for the time being, however tempted I am

Yep, Hermies it was.....

As I say, I'll kick this puppy hard and make it do what I want or destroy it in the process... Don't like not being able to do as I want... Got a whole heap of roms to flash using cwm and thanks to chainfire I have a kernel that is rooted and has cwm.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Ok, fixed it good...

You need to flash with ODIN 6 times...

!st I flashed stock rom, I had a full screen of red error messages, ignore them. I then flashed cf-root over the top. I got into recovery by holding down up volume, home button and power until sgs logo appeared then released power. Held in other buttons until recovery menu appeared...

I then cleared cache, dalvik cache and then went into mounts and formatted everything (remove your sd card or it will be wiped too).

Flash stock with Odin a second time, the cf-root a 2nd time. Repeat above steps but also in advanced fix permissions.... Also do a full wipe of data..

Flash with ODIN a 3rd time, 1st stock then cf-root... You should be back up and running... Now flash away with whatever rom you please and leave KP8 alone until its easier to fix...

Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense and its possible I did a few steps more than I needed but I just got home after a lovely night at work and REALLY need sleep...

Cheers, hope this helps.... :D

I flashed stock GB using odin .. phone boots but takes me to the 'emergency dial' screen with a finger constantly telling me to touch the android... at the same time i'm getting thousands of FC messages.

I've tried restoring backups of my GB rom, the one i was using before flashing ICS but all the backups fail..saying 'system.img' file not found

I've tried flashing 2 differnet roms using odin but the same happens. .. i'm forced to only flash the laggy buggy ICS rom but i want to go back to GB

Hey,

I had an issue with loading ICS onto my S2 as well. I've spent all day searching for an answer and I can't find one so far.

I flashed the unofficial 4.0.3 using ODIN and it failed. Phone rebooted into ICS. I tried to reflash, but my PC (Win 7) won't recognize the phone anymore. Also can't get the phone online. The only way to get files onto the phone is to transfer them through bluetooth as it won't even recognize the sd card. I've reinstalled the drivers using Kies, rebooted the phone, tried a factory reset, killed all Kies processes, and ODIN still won't recognize the phone, even in download mode.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
MTP doesnt work on ICS yet, its a known issue. (Aka yes its broken, theres no fix).

So you are stuck in ICS at the moment?

1)Uninstal KIES,

2) grab the drivers from my 4shared (the 4link in my sig)

3) install the drivers

4) Put phone into download mode

5) connect phone

6) follow instructions in this post

Im still having problems after flashing 4.0.3. I was originally running stock 2.3.4.

I followed sammobiles guide where in odin strangely we should tick repartition and add .pit file also we use 3 .md5 files (pda/phone/csc).

Usually I only flash one .tar in pda (no repartition,no .pit,no phone,no csc). I did try without .pit or repartition twice but didnt work so went for it.

Flashing back a stock 2.3.4.tar odin pass but s2 boot straight to android recovery(3e). with red errors at the stage the phone normally applys csc like 'cant mount efs' 'cant mount emmc' 'cant mount system' etc.

I flash 2.3.6 with 3 .md5 files with no repartition no .pit = no problems up n running. I can also run all ICS.

If .pit files are the same for GB as ICS which apparently they are maybe i should just try ticking repartition when reflashing GB .tar ????

I tried looking for the individual .md5 files for stock 2.3.4 to see if that works but cant find them.

Anybody know why i cant flash ANY tarball with just PDA anymore ???

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Ive tried this too ultramag but still no fix for me ^^^^^

any other suggestions ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I believe it is the ics bootloaders that are causing the problem, remnants left behind. If I flashed kp8 again there was no problem.

I had to format the system, data, cache and emmc on the 1st and 2nd flash with ODIN, not just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

On the first flash with ODIN I had all the red error messages too. I flashed the cf-root kernel to get CWM so I could format everything in the advanced menu.

I also "fixed permissions" the 2nd time after formatting everything.

As i said it was 6 ODIN flashes with stock and cf-root kernels.

After the 5th flash (back to stock rom) it actually booted and I could set up Android again, just like it was supposed to. I flashed the final cf-root Kernel with ODIN and then after letting it boot went to cwm and flashed another CFW... Everything woks fine, no problems with EFS or anything...

Other than that I can't offer any more advice.

Oh, I did use the .pit file for every flash too, thought it couldn't hurt...

Other than that it was only the PDA file, no modem and no CSC file...Just the stock .tar file...

Good luck, hope you get some love... ;)

PS... Unless you have the .pit file in there you NEVER tick repartition, fastest way to a brick I know of...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgs2(ab)user:
Thanks will post outcome.

PS... Unless you have the .pit file in there you NEVER tick repartition, fastest way to a brick I know of...[/QUOTE]

Lol I knew it was a good idea to seek help before doing that.:o

Update = Fixed. Simply Ticked repartition and add .PIT file with stock 2.3.4.tar in PDA got a boot loop but with android system recovery cache wipe and factory reset sorted.

Didnt try that before when flashing back to gingerbread because people say you dont need to and its dangerous to repartition but actually for me i did need to repartition. I simply cannot flash between ICS and GINGERBREAD without repartioning and .pit file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Thats really weird, as you shouldn't need to repartition to move between them are the pits are the same.

After 2 years without rooting and different phones, I took the jump again to root my Galaxy. Don't give me a ridiculous answer about searching, I already done and tried and I've been using every Smartphone OS doing mods, just recently left it behind due to College and Work. Be logical.

I went ahead and tried the One Click Galaxy Method tho it failed due to the 3e signature failure. My phone ended up stuck on the AT&T Boot Splash so I went ahead and tried going back stock using the JF6 OCD Odin method. It installed through correctly but I had forgot that it was the older firmware 2.1. I wanted to go back to stock 2.2 Froyo but when I attempted to enter Download mode it did not work in any button method unless I am getting the 3 button method incorrectly.

My laptop as well does not recognize my phone anymore and I had reinstalled the Samsung Drivers. Mainly it fails on MTP.

I'm thinking its due to the JF6. Here is what my About phone says:

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Grab or make a jig, always useful. Root with super one click (search for it) the use terminal emulator and use

Su

Reboot download

Then flashing w/e romper you want. I recommend you flash gingerbread bootloaders. Will fix your 3button issue and get you prepared for gb roms.
