Overclockin question - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seen on YouTube somebody clock there Touch to 1.7 ghz but whenever I clock my touch it can't go higher than the stock 1.0 ghz why is this happening ?

What ROM &/or kernel are you running? Certain ones allow for higher overclocking...

Follow Gfree method and I assure you you'll get perm root.

Also, you can't get higher than 1ghz because the stock kernel caps at 1ghz. You'll need to perm root and flash either a new kernel or a new ROM to allow OC'ing past 1ghz.

That would be why. First of all, the stock kernel can't be overclocked, it's coding won't allow that (or if it can be overclocked, it can't be very stable). Secondly, you must perm root for any custom clock settings to stick after a reboot. If you haven't been able to perm root, it may because you have the "bad" eMMC. A rooting method that works in that case is posted as a sticky in the dev section.

Thanks both of u anyway just in case I have a bad emmc can I have a link to dev way of rooting with that bad emmc

Just because you might have the bad chip dose not mean that can't root its because of the bootloader

you are incorrect. a plethora if users with the "bad" emmc have reported inability to root via visionary.

I still don kno if I have the bad emmc or not but I was still able to root it via gfree yesterday

search on xda. you will find the thread on how to check.

I can attest to the gfree + visionary method posted under the stickies. I was brand new to rooting and this method worked flawlessly for me. Only a week ago I didn't even know what rooting was, now I have the ULTIMATE s-off with engineering hboot (0.85.2007) and I have flashed the virtuous unity 1.31 pyramid with v4 kernel. I also loaded the Perfect Rosie 3.0 mod and the panache radio. XDA has been the best resource for me. I just wish I had enough posts to "thank" all the devs out there for the tools to get it done.

VISIONary setting with permaroot

Hello all.
Noob here. Just got my mt4g permarooted but i'm curious what settings I need to run. I had visionary running on boot before rooting. I assumed I needed to turn that off after permaroot but I could not gain root access without it. Anyone mimd helping with the right setup?

Could you provide the steps you took to get rooted or maybe a link to a guide you followed?
If you are permarooted you should have no problems turning off that setting in Visionary.

Everytime I do that, phone freezes after I click attempt permaroot. The screen goes black like it does for temproot but freezes after and nothing else happens.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Anyone?
I think the problem is visionary refusing to permaroot. I'm using r14. Visionary crashes and freezes my phone when I attempt to petmaroot and I have to pull the battery to restart. Any options to visionary? Maybe an older release?
Any help would be appreciated.

Gingerbread

How would I go about getting gingerbread on my new mt4g?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
download cm7 (cyanogen mod 7) or download nexus s...either one will work from the development section. to use gingerbread, you will need clockwork recovery 3. (2 is flashed from rom manager) directions to flash clockwork recovery can be found through a search.
here are the links

You don't NEED a computer to do this, but it GREATLY helps things along.
and YES you must be perma-rooted with s=off.
Ok. Thanks. How long would all this usually take. How do I go about rooting my phone.

there are two tools to s-off once you root, one for radio s-off and one for eng s-off, run the radio one, then the eng one, you will find them in the android development section. you need to s-off before you can flash clockwork mod on the DHD, you can flash that from rom manager
Cool so i need to do that bit more to it on dhd unrevoked rooted and put clockwrk on lol thanks do the roms available make it worth rooting

Its from the same op as the other guide but a newer method, the majority of the people who had issues using the root.sh method had their live's made easier with the g-free method.

Downgrade from 2.3.4 so I can root

Hi I'm new to this forum, I know about rooting and such as I did root before on my, now bricked, motorola backflip and my rooted Motorola Atrix 2, but I am buying a mytouch 4g from my friend and it is on 2.3.4 and I've seen on the forum that you can only root on 2.2.1, do I have to use the complicated way in this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912, to downgrade or is there a faster and easier way?
Nope. Thats the only way unless you wanna use htc-dev which is horrible. It looks more difficult than it actually is.
please read EVERYTHING before attempting this...
this is the guide i used and it worked perfectly :
BOOM
HERE is a youtube video that shows the steps also
(( theres also a GFREE method but that didnt work for me but this method did ))
you'l need to downgrade them temp root then perm root
good luck
here's the perm root when your done w/ that ^up there^
RAWR
also has a youtube guide

in the world of hacking anything ( except the ios... babystuff ) your gonna come across those kinds of guides that have alot of stuff
its scary but once you do it, you realize it wasn't that hard.. just take ur time and read through it , its not as hard as it looks
+ once ( if ) you start flashing roms your gonna be happy that you did this.
oh.. and once this is done, you can flash a rom that will upgrade you from 2.2 (froyo) to at least 4.0 ( ics )
i recommend Virtuous Infinity's latest build or if you want something more iphone-ish ...flash Skytouch 4g
There's no "easy way" in the world of hacking, you can't be lazy when it comes to this...but the method isn't really that hard.

Embedded Micro Memory Controller.
The glacier shipped with two different types. The older model, which was seemingly less prone to failure, was on devices that could be rooted with root.sh. On the later chips, including mine, you had to use gfree, as whatever exploit root.sh used no longer worked.
This is what I've gathered from my time on the boards. Jack_R1 would know for sure.
