You need an appropriate kernel for your tablet in order to overclock. The kernel is flashed in recovery, but clockwork mod itself (the recovery) isn't able to do the overclocking for you. But yes, you CAN install a kernel and then overclock without having to install a full ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therock9:
Thanks for your reply, do you have any suggestion which kernel I should use for overclocking? and how can I install a kernel?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowjin:
you install it by downloading it and putting it on your SD card.. some ROMs only see the internal SD card not the external , go to your custom recovery and flash it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therock9:
Thanks, so are these basically the step?

I am using .21 firmware at the moment

1. Downgrade to .17 firmware

2. Root it using Vipermod

3. Find a kernel, put it in SD card

4. Go to custom recovery and flash it

5. Download OTA root keeper to keep my tf101 root after updating

6. Upgrade to the official .21 firmware

Then, in theory it should have a rooted .21 firmware tf101 and able to overclock to 1.6ghz? Am I correct?

Thanks

Jacky
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
1. Downgrade to .17 firmware

2. Root it using Vipermod

* Use RecoveryInstaller to install CWM recovery

3. Find a kernel, put it in SD card < wouldn't bother with a kernel at this point

if you planed on upgrading to official .21 firmware.

4. Go to custom recovery and flash it

5. Download OTA root keeper to keep my tf101 root after updating

6. Upgrade to the official .21 firmware
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
You may as well put a custom rom on there as well, as you will lose user data the first time and you'll lose the kernel every time an ota update goes out. I was running rooted stock for awhile and have never gone back after romming. Those steps are good though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therock9:
Thanks so much, just want to make sure as I must be missing some step.

Because I did try like you said without a kernel, it rooted, but I found that I can't overclock (max: 1000mhz), and after I upgrade to .21 firmware even though I did backup root, it become unroot.

Most steps are followed from this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25385687

I do want to root again and want to be sure this time I can overclock for better 720p video playback, if I am missing some step, please let me know, otherwise I would rather not root it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Did you manually update to .21 or auto OTA update?

Look in system/bin and of you see an su there, copy it to system/xbin

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNStuff:
okay so I thought bricking android would be complicated but as it turns out it's quite simple.

Please cut me some slack because I am a n00b at all this. I am already googling for a solution and looking on forums but I haven't found anything YET so after a desperate hour of googling I thought of posting here (I will keep on trying to find a solution though).

Here is what I did:

A long while ago I rooted my Galaxy S. Rom was ClockworkMod (recovery says ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5) and the kernel was Talon. No problem with this.

Now I wanted to do a factory reset so I dialed that number yo need for a factory reset. I got a red text message warning me NOT to touch any button and it would reboot. The phone rebooted and I think I got into the recovery mode.

The icon was a top cat in an orange circle with an arrow. I guess that's part of the Talon kernel.

Anyways on recovery mode screen I saw an option called "wipe/factory reset" I've selected it - I was told it can't be undone- I've said OK- It said everything went fine so I selected reboot.

Now the phone won't reboot. It is stuck in a loop. It will always try to reboot.

So all I see is a GALAXY S i9000 screen followed by a Talos screen with a loading bar followed by the GALAXY S i9000 screen again and it will just loop.

No idea what to do :C

help, please! thanks a million everyone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Try flash the talon kernel again or if u got a rom on your SD card flash that.

If this doesn't work.search for ezbase 3.0 and follow instructions on how to flash a rom with ODIN.

U can also find ezbase on "insanity rom" thread in the op(1 of the links)

And now your phone is recovered
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNStuff:
well I've tried to put an update.zip on the internal storage of the phone because I don't have an external SD card.

I mounted the phone as mass storage device in the recovery mode but my win xp 32 bit would say it is a Samsung Galaxy S but there was an error with the new hard ware and it couldn't be mounted fff

so no idea what to do now?

yeh i guess i did a soft brick. So what exactly do I do now?

I have managed to copy an update.zip file I've found on my computer to the phone but the download mode gives me an error and says it can't install it.

Can you link me to the files I need to install on it with the help of the download mode? Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNStuff:
so I have already tried installing different roms which seemed to have worked fine

I have tried just any random rom (Simplicity) I could find on this forum. It installed but I am still stuck in a boot loop. I don't see the Talon graphic anymore but the Galaxy S animation but I am still stuck in a loop.

Im not sure which version that is but i like the one that is on the tab 10.1 i love all the animations and transitions. I think the xoom does not look the best ui wise. The tab looks amazing! (should av bought one lol!)

Also on the tab 10.1 it has that status bar option to flick upwards which gives you app shortcuts or recent apps.

and the app drawer has the same transition animations of the sense 4 settings menu Both of which i was told was part of the touchwiz

I will try any touchwiz to make xoom look better lol

The branding or otherwise is unrelated to the sim lock.

doenload cidhelper from the market and see what your CID is. If unbranded it'll be along the lines of HTC__001, if branded, it'll be HTC__3UK or some ****.

I know where you're coming from. Just tried latest trinity today and whites had a purple tint.

What is offline Charging? I have seen that some ROMs do not support offline charging. If it means that you can not charge your phone when it is switched off,

then how would one charge his phone if its battery is completely drained?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joel Chan:
Offline charging means that you are able to charge your phone even if it is switched off. Without offline charging enabled, when your phone is off and you charge it, it will turn on again. For example, in the stock rom, when your phone is off and you charge it, you will only see the battery meter and the phone did not turn on
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pravin_pran:
Sory i didnt get your answer. If offline charging is not enabled means i cannt charge mobile while its switched off. What to do if my battery is completely drained???
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joel Chan:
No offline charging = Can charge your phone, but phone will be turned on (can receive calls and messages etc)

Offline charging enabled= Can charge your phone, when it is off and cannot receive calls messages)

Either way, you will still be able to charge your battery :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IKnowIRock!:

Yes! You're right :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrea-pikkio:

What is the kernel support?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nougiw:
A kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer and is the main component of most computer operating systems. Check wikipedia if you want to learn more about it.

Kernel support now, is whether your kernel supports a feature or not.

For example if you download an app for overclocking you are gonna oc my ass if you don't have a custom kernel which is written to support overclocking. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TdiGuy:
Offline charging is being able to charge the phone when it is powered off. The stock rom on many phones has this feature so if you totally discharge the battery you can plug it in and charge it up. If you have an aftermarket rom that does not happen when you totally discharge the battery you end up in a boot loop. The phone starts up when you plug it in and it attempts to start. It wont fully boot because it runs out of juice then it attempts to start up again and it keeps going in this loop.

With aftermarket rom's there seems to be problems getting a offline charging mode in them to work properly. I know nothing about coding or building roms in general so i cant say what the problem is or why its there.

So with aftermarket roms you have 2 choices really if you drain the battery totally. Take the battery out and put it in some other charger. Plug it in to a charger and hold down the correct keys to enter recovery (lg optimus one home + vol down + power ) and let it sit in that mode for a minute or 2 then reboot the phone.

Would be nice if the aftermarket phones supported offline charging but there are plenty of ways to prevent this problem and even ways out of it without going too crazy so its not much of an issue anyway.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolRaoul:
I partially understand that it may sound strange to some people (as for myself)

Naively, I thought that when the phone is powered off, there were no code running inside and that CPU would be halted.

Thus the content of the rom would have be irrelevant to how the phone reacts when plugged in.

That's why I imagined that it was entirely an hardware issue.

From my experience on custom rom ICS and JB does not support offline charging, while since KK 4.4.2 the feature of offline charging can be used again.

does offline charging affect battery life? i mean does it increase or decrease battery life?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N37:
IMHO it may. When the phone is in bootloop (in theory) and the battery will be drained low to the level under the battery tolerance it may get some damage.

\I've killed that battery on S3 NEO, 2 months and trash (but to be honest, i'm not sure if that was genuine battery, because now I have second bat. and nothing happends, this one bought from Samsung distributor, in orginal packing and one yer warranty on paper., the first one was from "internet", 3 times cheaper (looked the same) ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] knoxster:
You can try the "Software Update" item under 'About Phone' from the Settings Menu.. Or if you're on Bell, you can try connecting the phone to a PC running the KIES software.

Telus Galaxy Notes do not support KIES updates. I believe Bell's do.

Probably not. What happens when you do a "SOFTWARE UPDATE / CHECK FOR UPDATE" currently? Does it give you a response or error out? if you get a response "No Update" -- then it should work eventually. It will likely be checking the Bell server tho. Not the Telus one.

In THEORY ... you could take the Bell or Telus ICS ROMs and load them on an AT&T phone in the states. And it *should* work.

I'd see the sticky at the top of this forum about doing backups and such and DO ONE before you try anything like that. And I'd probably ensure my phone was SIM unlocked for good measure.

In fact, as someone who learned the HARD way.. even if you aren't planning anything funky -- do a full nandroid backup anyway.
