This is Steven with Wimervision and this is part two of the video set showing you how
to overclock your rooted Motorola Droid. Please watch part one if you haven't already and
heed the warnings given in it. The second way I will show how to overclock uses the
latest overclocking files, supports reading the processor temperature, and uses nandroid
to install. You will need the following for this way of overclocking, a rooted Droid with
busybox and the custom recovery installed, setcpu from the market, a terminal emulator,
Astro file manager, a nandroid boot backup image with the clock speed of your choice
(posted in the video description), and the wireless fix file (posted in the video description).
Like I said in the first video, make sure you have a nandroid backup before doing any
of this. Download the nandroid backup with the speed you wish to use and use Astro to
move the contents to the nandroid folder on the sdcard. Open Astro, press home inside
Astro, press download, long press on the nandroid image zip you downloaded, press extract, press
extract to this folder, long press on the folder it created, press edit, press move,
press home inside Astro, press the nandroid folder, press menu on the droid, press edit,
press paste.
We will now reboot into recovery by opening our terminal emulator. Inside the terminal
emulator type su and press enter, then type reboot recovery and press enter.
Inside the custom recovery we will select backup/restore, then we will select advanced
nandroid restore. If you are using 99.0b you will make sure boot says "disable restore
of boot" and the rest say "enable restore of..." because we just want to restore the
boot image and not anything else. In 99.2b you will make sure that boot is the only one
with the dot in it. Then you will select choose your backup. The backup you downloaded will
start with 'tazkern' so you know which one it is. After that will we select perform restore.
Once it is complete, press the power button until it says reboot then select reboot.
If for some reason the system doesn't boot or starts crashing, you will need to use a
lower speed. If you can't boot at all, you will need to restore your nandroid backup
(hold x and the power button to get the recovery console when turning on).
When you're booted up you will need to start Setcpu. Inside setcpu you will need to select
the autodetect device in order for it to recognize your overclock. You can use the slider in here to select the
speed you wish to run at. If it allows you to select the speed downloaded, congrats it
worked for you. The newer overclock files lack some of the lower speeds used. You can
see a chart of which overclock file support the speed you want by visiting the Tasmanian_Droid
forum in the video description.
If you have Droidrootpro, use it to fix the wireless as I mentioned in the first video.
If you have applied the wireless fix once, you don't need to reapply it unless you restore
a full nandroid backup that doesn't contain the fix. If you need to apply the wireless
fix manually, here it how to do it.
Download the wireless fix here or by using the download link in the video description.
Once the file is downloaded, we will open Astro, press home inside astro, press download,
long press tiwlan_drv.ko and press extract, extract to this directory, press home to get
out, then open our terminal emulator.
We will type su and press enter.
Mount the system readwrite by typing mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system then
press enter.
Type cp /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko.bak and
press enter to create a backup.
Type cat /sdcard/download/tiwlan_drv.ko > /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko and press enter.
Type chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko and press enter.
Then type
Mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system and enter
to remount the system as readonly.
Type reboot here and press enter.
When the system reboots your wireless will be working.
This overclock image supports reading of the processor temperature using a program called
Tempmonitor, here is the market link. You can use this to watch the temperature and
make sure it doesn't get too hot. What is too hot? According to the developer 105C is
the maximum the chip will still operate at but that's hot enough to boil water. I personally
wouldn't go over 60C and for sure not over 70C. If 60C burns up your phone, I am not
responsible. Go with the temperature that you feel comfortable with.
Be sure to rate the videos 5 stars if you like them and if you feel a certain video
isn't deserving of 5 stars, please post in the comment section so I can work on giving
you a 5 star experience. This is Steven with Wimervision and I hope it works for you.
