Overclocking questions... - Xperia Play General

Hello, I am wanting to overclock my CPU and I am not sure what my options are. I have the R800x with CDMA type network. I have rooted the phone via superoneclick (zergrush method). I am running Android 2.3.3 currently. My questions would be...
1: what is the best and easiest way to setup my phone so I can overclock?
2: will overclocking increase the stability of mupen64 emulator?
3: is there anything else I my have overlooked that could help my emulators performance?

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked

I do not know. Is there a way to find out easily enough?

If you're not sure, it's locked. You gotta unlock it and flash a custom kernel.

Ok is that hard to do? How would I go about doing that? Easy to follow instructions would be great. Thanks for the help.

Agreed. Things are far more complex than they were in the early days. It would be a long road. Rooting is the easy part

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Ah I see. U think I would know that. Learn something new every day. I figured there would be different root procedures. Thanks for the info

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on

Yes i got SU I had to restart the phone to get it to engage.

[Q] is it possible to get rooted and s-off without computer?

Hi everyone,
I got my new desire z two days ago. I am on holiday so i cannot get my device rooted with computer. I have read lots of topics and decided not to use visionary. Now i wonder if it is possible to do it without computer or just with an android based tablet pc.
Thank you for all now...
This is the recommended guide to follow (Gfree, no visionary)

THIS! ADB is not required. I rooted my first G2 using terminal emulator on the phone, no ADB required.
I was fully aware of that thread, but I guess i should have emphasized the word "safely". The guide I posted is the undisputed safest way to do it

If you read down a little bit it says "WARNING: A few Desire Z users have reported being stuck on the HTC logo after following this guide. Without having a Desire Z myself, it is difficult to figure out why (since this simple automates known working methods). For the time being, I recommend Desire Z users obtain permanent root using one of the other guides out there." The op of that thread recommends using a different method. I would wait until you get back from your holiday and get to a computer.
I read all the ways to get rooted but visionary didn't work. I think device must be downgraded before get rooted. So is there a way to downgrade desire z without adb required?

Sorry to say that you need adb and your pc to start the process. I've been rooted only for a week now.

Sure i will add you when i need some help about adb. I am still on holiday so just reading topics about desire z. I think i will turn back home on 16th of July and get my computer again Thank you for helping me...
By the way, why it is so hard to get rooted on desire z. I had a samsung spica and advent vega tegra tablet, i only connected devices to pc and got rooted by one click. Are all desire devices hard (complex) to get rooted?

But is there one that won't wipe my phone... Like how about super one click....? Would that work?

And you will need to wipe to root (unlocking bootloader wipes everything)
Yes if u want root you will have to wipe no matter what.

root r800x (vzw play)

how come gingerbreak doesnt work vzw play? trying to root without unlocking bootloader
It doesn't work on the vzw version cause they patched up the exploit before putting the phone out
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Is there any way to root it?
I'm on 2.3.2, not 2.3.3 if it helps.
It's rootable but takes a bit of work. They're working on a more permanent solution.

Oh really? Can I see the thread?
You need to unlock the bootloader. After that, go to the development forum and read the R800x root thread.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
You eventually gingerbreak or super one click will work
So all I have to do is unlock my bootloader, then root it with Gingerbreak or SOC? Or should I wait for a better alternative?

[Q] Over Clock

Hi,
I want to overclock my tablet(using this steps http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/nexus-7-feeling-slow-heres-you-overclock-for-insane-speeds-increased-performance-0145908/) but i want to know 2 things:
(1)Is this will avoid the warranty? if yes then how to disable/remove the over clock after use it and get back the warranty?
(2)Am i will lose all my apps/games? if yes then what is the best backup app that backup apps and locate it to PC and backup the APK/data/save?
Thanks.
1) I believe rooting does void the warranty. But it's easy to revert back to stock if necessary. The easiest method is to use one of the toolkits found in the Nexus 7 Development section.
I also suggest you don't use Motley Kernel as the link you provided shows. That kernel hasn't been updated in quite a while. I suggest M-Kernel or FrancoKernel. Both of which can be found in the Nexus 7 Original Android Development Section.
2) If you have already rooted your tablet, flashing a new kernel will not cause you to lose data. But if you have not rooted the tablet yet, the unlocking process will erase all your data. Best app for backups is Titanium Backup. But make sure you transfer the backup files to your PC because unlocking will erase your sdcard.

You'll need to root to overclock. If you're not familiar with the terms or procedures being used here then I strongly suggest reading up and searching the forums first, otherwise you could do some damage.

-I saw tutorial for Franco kernel I tested it but I was studied on the boot animation luckily I backed up before doing that,
I tested the motley kernel and was working so good and there isn't any lag but I want to know if that maybe corrupt my tablet after long use

He meant rooting, which is a prerequisite. Rooting your tablet has voided the warranty in and of itself. Overclocking is definitely outside of the scope of the warranty as you are stressing the hardware beyond its intended parameters. If you don't know what you're doing, there is the potential of permanently damaging your SoC. There's no hiding that if you choose to fraudulently make a warranty claim.
