[Q] [Help] ROM and Overclocking

Hello!
I just signed up with you because I like to know if there is a ROM that can overclock Xperia Play?
I saw there the CM 7.1 in development, I think.
Can you confirm?
Is it stable?
Where to Download?
Sorry for my poor English ...
thank you

First in order to overclock you need an unlocked bootloader, only factory unlocked devices can unlock there bootloaders, there are also some downsides to this process, you should read the stickies in the android development section

Thank you
Hello and thank you for your reply.
I saw the thread that talks about it and I unlocked the bootloader, do I also get the system as root, I also installed the ROM "Rogers".
What can I do next?
again, thank you

Ok now you have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash this rom from fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098736
this will give you the latest firmware with root access
Once you have done that, you should flash this kernel:

this will give you a custom recovery, the ability to overclock and insecure ADB

Hello,
Again thank you for your precious help!
I went on the first link and I followed all the steps correctly for the SDK MANAGER
Then I downloaded R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145_UK_system.img
I put it in the Tools folder and I opened the command line:
cd \ android-sdk-windows \ tools
fastboot devices
Then ...
fastboot flash system R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145_UK_system.img
all goes well, it finished successfully.
When turn on the phone it only reboot:
On the screen there is "Sony Ericsson" for two minutes, then removed to get back ten seconds later, here we go again ...
In short it does not start, do you have an idea?
again, thank you

You can either try flashing it again or use flashtool to flash a tft file to recover...
i sugest you try to flash the system image again, but first before you flash type in
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
then
fastboot flash system R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145_UK_system.img

Hello again,
Thank you for your advice,
I had already formatted so many times I went to your second solution right away
And it works! it lights : D: D
So then I have to download the file:
boot.img (v03) (via flash this file to install this kernel fastboot)
Play Prerooted OC + + Kernel Recovery 3.0.1.A.0.145
and do:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
?
Thank you again : D: D

erm..... try this kernel instead ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128272
just flash it the same way as the other kernel

This is done
sorry for the time, I redid everything from A to Z to make sure that I have not forgotten.
And finally no ...
My Xperia play starts, when I put the file "boot.img" file "kernel-beta1"
But once in SetCPU I can not overclock
Have you any idea?
Again sorry to take you much time : O

You used flashtool to flash the rom right not fastboot? so your not rooted
Ok first download the attached .zip and copy it to the root of your sd card
now download this image
http://www.multiupload.com/VC3JRZ74H0
copy it to your fastboot folder & connect your device in fasboot mode
type into a prompt "fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img"
when recovery pops up on the screen, select install zip from sd card, choose the .zip you just downloaded and install it, then reboot device and you should be rooted

Yet as I was typing the commands:
fastboot.exe-i 0x0fce getvar version
fastboot.exe 0x0fce oem-i unlock 0xKEY
He told me I was root ...
WOW how you did that!
I hallucinated seeing it on the screen!
I did exactly as you told me, and everything went very well.
and the phone came on very quickly!
but I went in "SetCPU" and the max is still 1024.
there are other things to do?
Again thank you for your help!

go into settings and about phone, and tell me what it says under kernel version also check your app list, tell me if you have an application called "superuser"

Kernel version:
2.6.32.9-SEtweak [email protected] #3
et oui j'ai bien une application "superuser" depuis le début

I'm confused then, you have everything that you need to overclock
open superuser and make sure setcpu have root permission

no no do not be confused
SetCPU authorized by superuser but it makes no difference ... :/

and your using the 3.0.1.A.0.145 software version right??

yes that's right!
I began to despair!
It should work though
you download your kernel when?

[GUIDE] Upgrade to jelly bean super easy way (works for US varients, might for other)

Hello,
my tablet has a unlocked bootloader and was on 4.0.3 stock rooted when i did this and thought i would share how i did it, its really fast and easy.
Disclaimer: i am in no way responsible for a bricked or damaged devices, world endings, zombie attacks from using this guide. use at your own risk
Requirements: rooted with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader. (i used CWM) a tf300t tablet
Recommended: doing the file transfers from pc to device as you go along
Step 1: get all the files you need download
****Version V9.4.3.30 make sure us download the file for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
****Version V10.4.2.9 make sure to download the version for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Step 2: get the first file ready by unzipping (US_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a zip file called (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30)
-place (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) on the internal storage of your device.
Step 3: boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache
-then flash the file US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip in recovery
-reboot device
Step 4: one device is rebooted and past the set up screen delete US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip off your internal storage (DO NOT INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY AT THIS POINT)
Step 5 getting jelly bean ready: unzip (US_epaduser_10_4_2_9_UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a file called (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9)
- at that point a triangle with a exclamation point in the middle should appear saying system update file detected
(that same icon and message might pop up while the (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) is on the internal storage ignore it then, this is why we delete said file before we put the (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9) file on the device)
Step 6: click on the triangle icon on your device and accept the update, your device will reboot and install jelly bean (should take 10 to 15 minutes be patient)
---Once the device reboots it will upgrade and you will be on jelly bean yay
To obtain root follow part 3 of this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377) i will put the intructions here below for those to lazy to click the link
all thanks for rooting instructions go to krabappel2548 thanks man.
rooting and custom recovery
files needed for this process
fastboot and recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?1u44b0w3k1qoy4r
root files: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr209hb5e2fr910
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files: Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted
hope this helps everyone

Root on latest jellybean build

I updated my tablet to latest jellybaen thoug asus website. How can i get root access now?
1 click root tool dont works with latest build.... Is there any other way?
Build number: 10.4.2.13-20120907

Only way on JB is unlock and flash custom recovery.
Then you can flash the root zip.

2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.

This part works well
But if you try, can you write a report please

FYI recommend twrp for your recovery. Seems to do much better for flashing.

Indeed !
If you want to install a custom recovery, you need to unlock your device.

Unlocking was the best decision I made with this tablet. Currently running CleanROM, gonna give CM10 a try now that have they have it working on the JB bootloader.

I can't get it to flash recovery. When I go to the usb symbol it just hangs on "starting fastboot usb download protocol"
Nothing after that just stays right there. Any help would be awesome!

Latest and greatest flash method

Hi everyone,
I am running a HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3.5 branded SFR (Vodafone France).
I went through many forums and I am currenty having a hard time to find the latest / easiest / greatest method to flash my device in order to get rid of this crappy ROM.
Can somebody help me finding this and also suggest a good ROM to run this device (Cyanogen ?) ?
Thnaks in advance.

Obviously my questions is either not interesting or already answered or just out of date ...
Hoping to receive some hints though ..
Still going through several posts trying to get it.

watch here: ht*p://*ww.alltechstories.com/root-htc-desire-hd-advanced-ace-hack-kit-aahk/

Salut mon cher
The same as I one Month ago. 2.3.5 Android with all posibel HTC upgrades, radio, kernel and bootloader and Vodafone102 branding
1) unlock bootloader at www.htcdev.com
2) Install ADB on computer. And conected the ace/DHD via USB. To test type on the /Android/platform-tools path "Fastboot devices" when the ace/DHD is in Fastboot mode.
3) install TWRP.img rename the newest XXXXX.img file into twrp.img, moved on the /Android/platform-tools path, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
4) Searche the Rom you want (Cyanogenmod with Google-app`s) go inside the CM xxxx.zip file and copy the boot.img into the /Android/platform-tools path.
5) copy the two Roms (Cyanogenmod with Google-app`s) on root of the sd card. Reboot into recovery (TWRP is starting), mount everything (not SD card) and wipe everything (not SD card).Install CM.... and gapp...
6) reboot the ace/DHD into bootloader (Fastboot) and go in the /Android/platform-tools path and type "fastboot flash recovery boot.img".
7) reboot the ace/DHD into recovery and wate till the recovery is installed.
My ace/DHD is S-on and not rooted with CM 12.1 and Lollipop 5.1.1, but if I start the ace/DHD I must start in recovery during booting but during using, everything works fine
First I thought I had to root the ace for flashing, but unlock bootloader is nessesary and that`s enaugh

Downgrade ASUS MEMO PAD7 (ME70C)

Hello, I want to share with you what I managed to do (Asus support wrote to me that it is impossible). The whole DOWNGRADE manual is slightly complicated but in my case it worked. Asus wrote that it is not possible to return to the older version of the android in the K01A (me70c) due to the updated bootloader ...
ook let's get to the point.
Files that you will need:
1.Recovery (disposable)
link: http://androidhost.org/KYRT5
2.ADB Flashtools
link: http://androidhost.org/P2XKs
3. tablet updated to Android 5.0
4. official software from the asus site. Android 4.4.2
link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME70C/UL-K01A-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip
Okey, now we're starting to play!
1. we download and unpack Fastboot.zip
2. We download the official Android 4.4.2 software (link above). Downloading and unpacking, copy files: fastboot.img, splashscreen.img and boot.img to the folder where we have unpacked ADB FASTBOOT.
4. Now copy the official Android 4.4.2 software to the memory card (K01A-WW_V11.2.3.33.zip copy to the memory card)
5. Okey, now we turn off the tablet and run it in fastboot mode (please press vol + and power and hold it for about 10 seconds.)
6. Connect it to USB and run cmd (go out to the folder where our FASTBOOT folder was previously unpacked). SHIFT + RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON and choose 'open the command window here'
7. And here you should be careful what we write:
a)fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
b) fastboot flash boot boot.img
c) fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
d) fastboot reboot
8. Now the device will restart, but we turn it off sharply - please hold POWER until the device turns off. Now we restart it to FASTBOOT mode (vol + and power)
9. We connect it under USB
10. Go to our folder with (one-time RECOVERY) and run 'LAUNCHER.BAR'. We write in the 'ACCEPT' window and then write 'T2' now our device should start in CWM recovey after a while.
11. Okey, now we choose 'install zip' -> 'choose zip from extrenal sdcard' -> and choose our Official software which we have previously copied to the SD card and approved. Now all we have to do is wait for the installation to finish.
12. now please reset the system by going back to CWM in the first page and approving 'reboot system now' -> 'no' -> 'no'
13. End )
I think I helped. This method worked for me and everything goes without complaint
Regards!
and I apologize for my weak English
I DO NOT ANSWER FOR THE DESTROYMENT OF THE DEVICE. EVERYTHING YOU WILL HAVE OWN RESPONSIBILITY !!! (after all, nothing bad should happen :fingers-crossed:

Dear rysiun39p!
I downloaded the firmware from the link you gave us, but there is no such a file in the zip, you mention in the seventh step.
fastboot flash flash.img (there is no "flash.img" in the provided .zip file)
Maybe you mean fastboot.img ? or that line is just an example?
Please help me if you can

Yes yes, you are right, I made a mistake at the seventh point. Instead of 'flash.img' the file should be 'fastboot.img *'. I apologize for the mistake, I will correct it soon

Aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of thanks

Hello guys,
I need your help with my Asus Memopad 7 tablet.
I have been searching and trying for 2weeks how to unlock the bootloader.
According to the K01a model, I found countless tutorials (here, youtube, other forums that led again to xda...) and everywhere the bootloader for the K01a model ME170...,173,.... was described. But nothing worked, even though a few methods had some cooperation with the tablet, but without results.
I'm glad I locked the tablet.
I only found out from ASUS support that my K01a model is the ME70C version based on the serial number.
I'm looking for how to unlock the bootloader for the ME70C, but the instructions are nowhere to be found.
And if I find this one, it is listed here in the procedure for "downgrade" with android 5 installed.
On the contrary, I need an upgrade from Android 4.3. to 5 or 6 ( :-D ) so that I can use apps whose support ended for android 4.
How did you manage to unlock the bootloader to install android 5 on your tablet?
I was trying update to UL-K01A-WW-12.8.1.41-user but the upgrade will not complete ( i'm guessing because i still have build 10.32.1.....)
Asus Memopad7 for Europe distribution: Model K01A (ME70C), Android 4.3, Kernel version: 3.4.43 [email protected] #1 Tue Jul 22 14:38:47 CST 2014
Build number: JSS15Q.WW_MeMo_Pad-10.32.1.31.3-20140722
My bootloader has only menu:
Reboot droidboot
Reboot
Factory recovery
SD Download
Power Off
SD Update
Thanks for the help.
