[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G2reboots:
this is very important - it was suggested that SetCPU is the solution to my problem (of G2 quickly returning to stock 800 MHz after a successful overclock), but my phone crashes at 1.42 GHz - I found through trial that 1.36 is the stable setting for me (x71). Obviously SetCPU will do nothing for me at this point. Any help?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blakeman:
Some G2's have this problem.

There are a few comments in this long thread addressing this.

The tmobile ota update fixes the problem with the new youtube update crashing the g2. And I have seen there are some g2's that have the crash problem you have with the overclock.

Setcpu is pretty much just a monitoring app and won't address the crash problem but it will allow you to manage it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thewaleed:
So ever since I ran the overclock, my phone has been running MUCH faster.

However, the stats according to setcpu are exactly the same as before I overclocked it. Why is this?

overclocking problems

my G2 overclocks just fine. i get superexcited whenever i see 1Gz.. but minutes later.. it goes back to stock 800mhz. :(

oh well i tried. how do i unroot it? sorry noob here. just using visionary. do i juse uninstall it? do i also delete. cpoc, norebook.. etc??? any help.. thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dustin84:
So I can load the oc file just fine but when I try and load the ooo**** file it just frezzes the phone???? What am I doing wrong????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thewaleed:
You need to use the post OTA file listed on the front page. If you use the older version, it will freeze!

Hope this helps.

Just edit your script to around 79

Can somebody please help me with the question I asked above?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Its because you need to auto detect your speed in set cpu. Then it will not revert back to 800mhz. Set cpu/menu/device selection/auto detect speeds... And it will stay overclocked;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcizzle:
thank you thank you! i set mine to 1017. I wanna go higher to around 1400 but how much will this affect my battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G2reboots:
Blakeman, I'm not sure I understand your response - I am not having any crashing problems, my phone is stable when overclocked to 1.36 (but not higher). I have implemented the new post-OTA kernel.

It just keeps returning to 806MHz precisely after the screen turns off. That's without SetCPU. SetCPU is a profile manager, I don't see how it will solve the problem? And I don't see how some people don't have this problem even without SetCPU.

Isn't anyone interested in the technical reason for this? :cool:

I might have to get SetCPU just to prove yous all wrong :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dynamikd:
This worked flawlessly! Steady running at 1.42 and loving it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] king91:
still waiting for a video of how to oc after ota...

I know there was one but the camera was blurry kind of and couldn't fallow....I'm still hoping someone is going to post a video of how to do this for all of us newwb'S haha.....we want to join the cool kids club and be oc like you guys....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
It will affect your battery in no way whatsoever. Last night I had my phone at 1.42ghz and under clocking to 0.3 when the phone is off. Went to sleep for 9 hours, when I woke up still at 100 percent, EPIC!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] franky1029:
what are you using to determine the Hz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G2reboots:
I use CPU benchmark, quadrant and linpack - all showing same result. They'll report 1.36 once OC'ed and all showing stock speed after screen turns off and I unlock the phone again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blakeman:
Go to the first page of this thread and download the 11/3 ota update and use it. You're using the outdated overclock version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blakeman:
I had the same problem as you with my phone returning to 800 after the phone was asleep. I fixed it by using setcpu and setting up some profiles.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcizzle:
hi.. how do i unroot? do i just uninstall visionary and gscript?

it keeps going back to 800. i already turned autodetect on (setcpu) its still going back to stock. :(

im just gnna remove it.

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Just reboot your phone. G2 isn't a perm root.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jeremyritzmann:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that the phone would internally clock down to a lower setting in a sleep mode. I may be wrong though. In that case you would want to set profiles in setcpu if you didn't want this to happen. If for some reason you wanted your phone at a higher clock while sleeping. Don't flame if I'm wrong. This is just what I would assume happens.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaZzyjeff818:
If I'm overclocked to 1.2ghz should I also tweak the voltage? Can anyone explain to me how the voltage works? I read the README file and don't really understand it as I'm new to android and this is my first time overclocking. I did everything using the GScript method.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] droidleon:
Can u explain me how u get to oc to 1.2ghz,I have the files,but I can get it to work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G2reboots:
Problem solved!

To whom it might help:

while awaiting an explanation I came across an app called "CPU Tuner" - something similar to SetCPU, albeit simpler, but FREE.

It seems to detect the highest your CPU will go (current overclock) and then has 3 increments - something like 246/369/768.

It has profiles (only 3).

Anywho, it worked for me - I overclocked, launched the app, setup profiles and away we fly :)

Now stays at 1.36 GHz when I come back from a locked screen. I even saw it clock down to 768 while the battery was low and went right back when I plugged in the charger. Sweet.

I actually put the phone through the paces at the lowest setting (246MHz) and it wasn't that bad - sure, it ranked way down with Xperia on the Quadrant test, but still worked just fine for all apps, etc. I use that setting in profiles when screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaZzyjeff818:
All I did was load ohshittt.sh using gscript and replaced the 74 value with 63
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dalamak:
I would stick with setcpu, this cpu tuner doesnt auto oc, or detect max speeds, it clocks to whatever value I set as max pll value same as setcpu, plus I have had no problems with setcpu since day one and had no problems making a donation to a dev thats a friend of xda
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Sometimes visionary works great with the overclock when I check SetCPU on boot...

Other times I have to run SetCPU after I boot and slide the green bar all the way to the right because it's not reading the overclock correctly. (It will display the 1200mhz but the bar will indicate 800mhz or vice versa)

Anybody know what's up? It's inconsistency is what bugs me since I don't change anything in between. I wonder if it's SetCPU or my ko.co file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pak256:
Could someone please link me to the updated script files (post 11/3 ota update)?

I know it's in this thread somewhere but don't want to sift through 90+ pages.

I need the updated cpoc, noreboot, oc, and oshiiiiitt scripts.

*Never mind, I got them
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Or you could just read the first post and download the oc file and get the script command from there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pak256:
I'm not familiar enough with that method of oc'ing. I followed the noob guide to overclocking which consisted of those script files.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcizzle:
ok question

i OC'd my G2 to 1.4, so how do i know if im actually running that? to be honest i dont feel the difference with my phone before overclocking. my setcpu widget says (1420 max, 245 min), then when i open setcpu itll say 245 MHz on top ( <==== what does that mean?). then when i run benchmark it says MFLOPS: 34.092. I read somewhere that it should be around 40-50s? and my quadrant score is 1471. are those numbers normal? sorry noob here. really trying hard.

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Pak is very easy....I just went through the same thing and I am not very comfortable with cmd prompt..YET!!!

All you have to do is:

1. download the new script to your computer

2. Rename it to the original name as stated on the OP.

3. Connect your device to your computer

4. Once connected, make sure you can see the SD Card as an external drive on your computer.

5. Copy and paste the renamed file to your SD Card root (main) folder.

6. Run scripts in the order as before cpoc >> oc >> noreboot >> oshitttt

That should do it...the script just need to find the new file.

Anyone, please add to this if I missed anything....

I oc'd to 1GHz and my phone shuts down after a while and the battery has to be pulled to get it to boot back up. Is anyone else having this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik.the:
First time poster..

I recently did the manual update of the OTA 11/3 rev. I have been able to run up to 1228mhz, but no higher and that seems gimped with all these people reporting much higher. I have tried setting the code in GScript to 66 and higher, and it ends up freezing my phone.

I had some initial troubles trying to do this pre-OTA upgrade and it wouldn't work at all. After OTA installed, I kept the same files in the required spots and followed the YouTube video, but to no avail.

Any ideas why my oshhhhiiittt isn't working post-OTA? Again, max stable value is at 65.

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
No! You should be seeing something like 48 MFLOPS and quadrant scores in the 2100's.

Use setCPU to make sure of the speeds your are running at, make sure that the profile is set to on-demand, and make sure that you are not running profiles that slow you down. One more thing...on setCPU, make sure that the top bar is set to 1440 and not 245..(on the main screen, there are 2 sliders, the max cpu speed and the min. The top one is the max, the bottom the min....) Make sure that the top bar has been slid all the way to the right, and the bottom one is all the way to the left.

I have noticed considerable improvements while running media apps and graphic heavy games...but the biggest improvements are stability and running temps.

I hope this helps!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Remember that when a cpu is rated, it means that it garantees that speed (800MHz in our case), but anything else above that is just luck. Typically one can OC any CPU with out issues 10 to 20%, but at 1.2GHz, you are OCing 50%

so is not that bad...specially when at stock speed you are already faster than most other phones out there.

I max out at 74 stable, 75 jerky. @ I run my best scores at 74 (1.44 GHz) that's 80% above standard...that is incredible!!!!!! I actually believe that this phone is meant to run OC'ed. Others have reached 1.5 and beyond....but @ 1.2 or 1.4 we cannot complain!!!

Also, I'm getting this error when I run the 'noreboot' gscript...

===================================

If I try to run oshitttt after I run oc (as said above), it tells me...

stderr: insmod: init_module '/data/local/vision_oc.ko' failed (File exists).

I'm guessing you run either oshitttt or oc, correct?

Really this thread would be half as long if we didn't have stuck up newbs that think they deserve stuff.... figure it out. Its called the internet. Also we all had to start somewhere.

Sorry for being harsh.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
What does this 'noreboot' script say? It sounds like you have the file name wrong. You should be deleting vision_oc.ko not vision_oc

You have to run the rmmod command before you can change the frequency. Either that, or do a reboot as that wipes what was there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
If you want to change the mhz your running at after you've already set a certain speed do a

rmmod vision_oc.ko

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=x (x being your prefrenced number) you must rmmod everytime you want to switch. Else you'll get the file exists error.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] droidleon:
Ok do u replace the value at gscript?,and I also have find out that when I oc after a while it just go back to normal by itself,what's happening???

Ok I'm getting frustrated,now I have the ova update and the new vision but when I run the scripts it said finish but at lipacks is still around 30,doesn't change what I'm doing wrong now!!!!!

Yeah but for some reason my "visionary.sh" script isn't running/working at boot though.

Anyone know WHY my "visionary.sh" script is not running/working at boot? Here's what I've got in the script itself:

I think i got the error problem to go awayyy

there's a video on youtube.. from blackprince... (XDA did not permit me to post outside links) that explains an easier way to overclock your G2... I followed everything it said but at the end when I go to Gscript app, added noreboot, and tried to click on it but it gave me an error... So what I did was.....

1 - downloaded the new OTA file that was released on 11/03..

vision_oc-g9ab3677.ko

2 - renamed that OTA file to vision_oc.ko

3 - deleted the old or original vision_oc.ko file that was on the video from sdcard

4 - added new OTA file to sdcard....

5 - run gscript app... CPOC...NOREBOOT...and ohshiitttt or OC

those method worked for me.. but the problem I was having with it is when I run ohshiittt file which oc to 1.4ghz.. My g2 could not handle that amount of pressure it kept freezing up on me.. I don't really know why.. But I left it at 1.0 Ghz and its running just fine.. but yeah that's what I did..

if possible can anyone tell me why my g2 keep freezing at 1.4ghz.. and what measurement should I take?

if you want the youtube link.. send me an email at nvietmonkey@hotmail.com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pooponyou:
you downloaded the wrong vision ko, download the other one, that might help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nvietmonkey@hotmail.com:
i downloaded both files and tried the same method as the video but it still gave me an error... so i renamed OTA file to the original vision_oc.ko and was able to stay at 1.0 GHZ i'll will look more into it today.. my time of playing around with the OC was limited last night

Hi All

i understand this method is deprecated now as you can install a kernel flash module or whatever.. but this above method seems much easier..

What i want to know is how to make it "stick" even after SLOW reboot (ie not fastboot).

something to do with visionary.sh? What to put in there?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coolbho3000:
Please don't bother with this anymore, you don't have to go through fastboot to flash the new method, just install Cyanogen's BaconBits. This was great when I released it, but now it doesn't make sense to overclock with a kernel module.

It's akin to driving a few times around town just to get to the store across the street from your house. It's much easier to flash BaconBits and walk across the street instead.

Has a fix been found for this?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
Afaik you arent able to edit the cpu voltage with the module, the actual kernels out there are a lot more stable if you are comfortable with flashing, TRUST ME. With the module my phone would freeze at anything above 1.2ghz, running a steady 1.4ghz+ with the current line of oc kernels.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SpicyCurry:
I've been using the temp root method through visionary in order to overclock. When I use the 1.42GHz overclock (pll2_l_val=74), it runs great and I'm able to get the same benchmark numbers. However, after about an hour of use, this overclock just goes away.

I did not do any kind of reboot, and I still have su access. Further, if I go to the terminal and use the insmod command, it fails, telling me the file exists already. I have to use rmmod vision_oc.ko, then the insmod command to regain my overclock (again, only for an hour or so).

Any tips on how to keep my overclock? Do I have to perma-root? Also, I'm completely fine with having my overclock reset everytime I do a reboot. My problem is that I keep losing the overclock without rebooting.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. My overclock is still present, it's just my current CPU speed becomes 760MHz with a max CPU limit of 1.4GHz. I'm guessing the setCPU app will solve this problem I have.
