Click to expand...

find it droider?

With RE:

I went to
root/../etc/install-recovery.sh
mount to rw
open install-recovery.sh with text editor
add two lines:

insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
setscaling.sh

save and exit
reboot, and there you go...

Also, thanks Hilbe for guiding me through all that.
 
Not showing up for me either..

When I adb pull /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I get

adb: not found

Can't find in RE, either.

How to do the overclock at boot:

1. Pull file off phone.

adb pull /system/etc/install-recovery.sh .

2. Add 2 lines to bottom of install-recovery.sh in text editor on computer, save:

insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
setscaling.sh

3. Remount /system in read/write:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

4. Push changes to sd card.

adb push install-recovery.sh /sdcard

5. Copy file to right place.

cp /sdcard/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

6. Remount read only /system

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

7. Reboot

Take off that period at the end of step one to avoid confusion. I am sure when people start copying and pasting this there will be problems;)

You need to add the .sh to setscaling;)

Good call! I have no clue what to say. Are you using RE? I'm assuming actually that you are trying every way.
 
Yeah I even tried making it in notepad++ because it has that option and it still doesn't work. I wish there was a crying "smiley"
 
Took the "." off my how-to for you guys. Also, there are a few other scripts called on startup, but I'm not sure if they will work as well as install-recovery.sh. Here are some others to try:

/data/misc/wifi/forward_start.sh
/data/misc/wifi/forward_stop.sh

Something is wrong I looked in RE too

C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\tools>adb pull /data/misc/wifi/forward_start.sh
remote object '/data/misc/wifi/forward_start.sh' does not exist

C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\tools>adb pull /data/misc/wifi/forward_stop.sh
remote object '/data/misc/wifi/forward_stop.sh' does not exist
 
Lets see...
I am running .604
I have Nextheme but I don't think this could be causing this...could it? Who has nextheme? PJ.?
thats about it :(
What is wrong?!?!?!?!?!?
 
For those that don't have it, here is my install-recovery.sh. Unzip, drop in /system/etc, and use at your own risk. Permissions look like:

-r-xr--r-- root root 470 2010-08-09 22:04 install-recovery.sh

What is that? chmod 644? It is late, I'm heading to bed. Best of luck.

Trying it now.

WORKED for me! I didn't do ANYTHING except move it to the root/etc/ folder no changing the chmod or permissions or anything.

To all:
I was one of you guys that could not locate install-recovery.sh for the life of me.

I used his uploaded file, extracted to root, moved it to root/etc/ and rebooted.

works perfectly with my modded setscaling.sh @ 1.1ghz @ 34
 
I've had a few random reboots running 1.15 at 34. They didn't show up for awhile, so keep an eye out. I'm trying 1.125 at 34 right now.
 
Hibe, if you ever get the time... I think you should post your own thread with your instructions. To anyone that hasn't been following along this is thread is all fragmented and all over the place. Its confusing as hell, and I've been here since day 1 :) Just a suggestion. Thanks for your work guys
