Root [How-To] Overclock your Droid X

DroidX user said:
some one needs to get a big break-through in speed like they with the galaxy s because stock the x kills the s but with some simple mods the galaxy s can run a 1500 on quadrant we need to be the first to 2000

Not going to be the first I'm afraid, with a new mod the Galaxy S is posting quadrant scores well over 2k 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

I completely agree had to look through this thread a few times to understand what everyone was talking about

I'm wondering if you guys who couldn't find your install-recovery.sh files ever did the update to .604?

Anyways, I use NexTheme and I have the install-recovery.sh file.

I'm going to add the auto clock as soon as I find some very stable settings. I'm actually fine with the stock 1GHz/800/600/300 slots, I just want to minimize voltage.

I'm running .604, so it's not that.

I'll try adding it later. I don't power my phone off much, so it's not really a big deal. Otherwise it's just a command away in Better Terminal.

What is the stock voltage for the 1GHz/800/600/300 slots? I want to tinker with different voltage values but I need to know what the stock settings are. Thanks.
 
We're in business now. Downloaded to sd card from xscope, extracted in root explorer and then dropped it in /system/etc/..

Easy enough, after a reboot, running at 1.15/34. Sweet!
 
Hilbe said:
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.

Thanks man its working now:D:D

For sure if someone was reading this, unless here the whole time, they would be like... what?:confused:
 
So can someone list all of the commands for getting the setscaling to save and work on a reboot? Once I find numbers that are stable for me I'd like to set it to work whenever I power the phone on. Thanks in advance.

All credit goes to Elkay for the milestone overclock mod, Fab for posting it here and Hilbe for the setscaling.sh and figuring out where to put the commands and also his install-recovery.sh file

All on the computer If you already have overclocking set up and just want to make it survive through a reboot, skip to step 4
1. Download this file Here

2. Unzip both files to your sdcard

3. In adb run
-adb shell
-su
-"mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
-"cp /sdcard/overclock.ko /system/lib/modules/"
-"cp /sdcard/overclock.sh /system/bin/"
-"chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko"
-"chmod 755 /system/bin/overclock.sh"
-"mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"

4.Download this file, unzip it and put it where your adb.exe is
In adb run
-"adb push setscaling.sh /sdcard
-"adb shell"
-"su"
-"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
-"cp /sdcard/setscaling.sh /system/bin"
-"chmod 755 /system/bin
Keep adb open

5. Download this file and unzip it
Place where your adb.exe is

6. In adb run
-"exit"
-"exit"
-"adb push install-recovery.sh /sdcard"
-"adb shell"
-"su"
-"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system"
-"cp /sdcard/install-recovery.sh /system/etc
-"mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system

Check by doing a reboot

Through root explorer

After having done steps 1-4
1.Open up root explorer
2.Navigate to /etc/install-recovery.sh
3.Change system to R/W
4.Long press on the file
5.Scroll to the bottom and add
-"insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko"
-"setscaling"
6.Press the back button and save changes

Done



There ya go
And also I am pretty sure some of these scripts can be taken out in favor of a shorter way, I you know of any let me know and I will change it

-"chmod 755 /system/bin

5.In adb run
-"adb pull /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

6. Open file with Notepad++, If you don't have it grab it Here
And at the end of the file at these two lines
-"insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko"
-"setscaling"
And save changes

7. In adb run
-"adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

There ya go, if you want to edit the parameters
I will add using root explorer soon

What step do I skip to if I already have overclocking with setscale.sh set up? You have "skip to step" but no number. Thanks for the instructions.
 
You can just remove the pull of install-recovery.sh. My file already has the commands in it. Just tell them to push my file and call it a day.

When I do the second part of step 4 (adb push setscaling.sh /system/bin) I'm getting: "adb: not found". Any ideas? The setscale file is in the tools folder within the sdk folder where the adb.exe file is located.

I changed it, let me know if it works

Okay try now sorry:o
Click to expand...
Don't apologize....

I'm assuming the setscaling file needs to be on the sdcard now per this step: "cp /sdcard/setscaling.sh /system/bin"

When I get to this step: "adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" I'm getting :read-only file system. So I used root explorer and change it r/w and I get : permission denied.

Okay, first you have step 4 done right. Do that again, with my corrections.
If you do have step 4 done then you need to download the install-recovery.sh then let me know
 
Step 4 works fine, but step 6 isn't working for me. I have the install-recovery file in the same folder as adb.exe. When I do this step: adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh I'm getting: permission denied.

Okay I really think this should work. Again sorry about the trouble I am trying to remember what I did.

Please don't apologize, I'm sorry that this command stuff all new to me. Everything worked fine and stayed set after a reboot. Thanks a lot.
