Root 8.7 Beast and Beauty up...

hmmmmmm...installed 8.7 update, and my battery temp shot up over 104...went back to 8.6....and temp dropped back down to under 97...

did not try nandroid update though...maybe i will next, but i'm tired of rebuilding my screens when i go that route, i thought i saw something i can use to save my data and restore it...and i thought i downloaded that....i do have titanium BU, need to see if that does it for me along with saving my apps

Do you have to install SPRecovery to install BB?... seems to me once your rooted you could just do it from the stock recovery console. I mean I'm sure I'm wrong but I just cant figure out why....

Anyone?.

While I think you could do the update.zip install without SPRecovery.. the whole point of SPRecovery is so that you can make a backup of your phone's stock rom. The stock menus don't have the option.

Having problems overclocking now with BB7.5. Tried SetCPU and it would only let me go up to 550mhz. Now I'm trying overclock widget and it won't let me go over 528mhz. This is crazy, I had OW with 7.4 and it worked fine up to 800mhz. How the hell do people do 1Ghz?

In SetCpu Menu/Device Selection then scroll all the way down to Auto Detect. Select that and all should be well. A few people have had to move the main slider from max to min and back to get it totally squared away. It still may take a minute or two, but that seems to always work.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.
