Root [MetroPCS] [MS500] Freedom Kernel Overclocked **Updated 6/17/15**

[GameTheory]

Hi ,

Today I installed this kernel and it seems that definitely there is an improvement ( esp initial sd card check speed during boot)
I have few small questions,
1. do I need to install the setCPU as for this kernerl to work properly
2. sometime I see that max speed is different than what i have set ( is it behavior specific to some governor type , one selects ?)

pls advise

1. You can use any cpu control app you want (setcpu is fine) or the app that comes with the kernel. Do not install 2 different cpu apps or settings may not stick.
2. I don't have that issue using the app that comes with the kernel.

The latest version of the kernel GT does not support changing the maximum frequency protsessora.ni your settings or by other programm.vsё time high. I put the first core GT and set the CPU.

Okay so either I can use your app or any other app, got it thanks. as of now I am using your app

I don't have that issue using the app that comes with the kernel

so may be some other program doing it , on one occasion when I ran the Antntu bench mark I noticed max frequency changed to max 1728 ( even though I never gave Antntu super user permission) , few more questions , pardon me

• How to know which other program is inferring with max frequency , if it is not changed automatically ?
• I also noticed that 2nd cpu is set to 1728 max , is this the default setting and always like this with freedom kernel ? Freedom app( and I believe others as well) are changing the cpu0 speed only ( looks like) I used kernel tuner to check the speed of both the cpus
• does checking the seton boot flag will alter the original settings, or it done using init script
  
• how to reset the setting to default original value

Hi,

I am not sure what is happeing ( never happened with any other devices , these strange things)
here is another story.. believe I know waht I was doing and I have done this earlier as well

after resotring my device, did the rooting using saferoot , verified root and then I installed freedom kernel ( before installing any recovery, kept the phone on stock)

1. everything was going great until I decided to install the recovery again using f6 utilities,
   for some reason f6 utilities didnt install the CWM and when I tried to reboot to recovery phone rebooted as normal ( green android came in which meant no custom recovery)
2. so I tried using the lte2 touch recovery, phone rebooted normally ( no green android) and now phone is not connecting to WIFI ( tell avoided due to poor connection ) , doesnt detect any phone network , tried rebooting many times
   
3. when I tried to open my TB it is telling me that there is no root on this phone,
   who removed that ? link2sd is not working
   
4. I tried doing ADB but same computer is not detecting the devices as media devices
5. I tried connecting as lg software/camera and adb devices showed the list but root is failing ( same root method which worked earlier like a charm

here is the log

[*] Sending files to your device...

[*] Starting rooting program.
ro.build.product=f6
ro.build.id=JZO54K
setsockopt() failed: Bad address.
this device is not supported.
kallsyms_addresses search failed.

[*] Checking if rooting succeeded
[*] Unfortunately, rooting failed. Cleaning up.
Press any key to continue . . .

So basically I cannot install any recovery now since I have freedom kernel already ( mistake that I put kernel before installing the recovery) and any rooting method wont work since I have patched kernel. even though kernel is already rooted , for some reason other apps wont see it ?

Experts please help me to get out of this situation ( I dont want to use KDZ method now since adb shell command is working and I can do su as well)

thanks a lot for the links...
Reason I posted here since it all happened after installing the kernel ( and custom recovery installation failed for some reason and now I have strange issue)
and I believe you and many other gurus can help me to get my phone out of this situation
btw this all has helped me to learn new things


So only way to get out of this situation is to use the KDZ unbrick method ?
if yes, can I upgrade to 12b and use your guide

The kernel has nothing to do with recovery. Your recovery issue happened for some other reason. Use the recovery I linked you to, that's the one you should've been using to begin with.

Yes you can unbrick with my guide instead. It unbricks your phone to 12b.

Hi GT,
i am running this kernel since last few days and believe me speed is getting changed automatically, i need to reset it again

Also after intalling firewall i noticed that kernel is trying to connect to internet which is getting blocked now.
Can you pls tell for what purpose kernel is trying to connect to internet

Thanks
