Hi Guys,
I checked around but I couldn't find anything. I rooted my phone using the 1 click method provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096384 This part went swimmingly. I had my phone rooted and ready to go. I then downloaded CPU set and the program would not let me speed up the CPU past 1 Ghz. so then I downloaded this: kernal netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.2-bfs-2.3.3-cm7-compat-signed which supposedly allowed me to overclock my phone. I then placed the zip file into the root directory of my phone. I downloaded ROM manager and used that to install netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.2-bfs-2.3.3-cm7-compat-signed. When I did this the screen went black and the capacitive buttons at the bottom lit up. I can reach the recovery screen but that is it. There is no USB connectivity with the computer. Is there anyway to fix this or did I just turn my phone into a paper weight.
Thanks,
Cloo
Phone processors are a funny thing. Some can handle being overclocked higher than others. I am assuming that you went all the way up to 1400 and your CPU just gets too hot and everything locks up on you. You need to have a rooted Rom on the root of your sdcard and wipe everything from recovery and flash the Rom from recovery and start over. If you go with Netarchy's kernel again I suggest bumping the CPU up to 1200. If it can handle that bump it up to 1300 and obviously it can't handle 1400. You won't see much of a benefit from 1000-1300 for the most part. I keep mine on 1200 and it runs great. Anything higher for me and the phone starts to get hot and lag somewhat. Your phone is not a brick. If you can get to recover and/or bootloader there is always hope.
Also check out these threads to help you get back to 100% stock and start over.

Do you have a NS4G which is what the one- click is developed for or a Nexus S, which is what the Kernel you flashed is for? My guess is that you flashed a kernel which is not compatible with your rom.

You may not have waited long enough for the phone to boot. His bfs based kernels have a bug that most of the time the phone boots to a black screen captive light shows and no boot animation. It will boot but just takes time of you have right kernel. This is spoken about in his thread.
@housry I never got all the way through the switch to netarchy. Once I used ROM manager the screen blacked out upon reboot and nothing happens now. I managed to get the file SamsungSimpleDL onto my phone but when I try to install it aborts. Any thoughts?
@debh I have the NS4G
@Jerry the phone has been sitting with a black screen for about 10 minutes so I think I screwed something up
According to your op, you flashed a 2.3.3 cm7 kernel. Are you running stock 2.3.4? You need to flash the correct kernel for your rom.
Also, I just read your post above and you aren't supposed to flash the simple.zip on your phone. Download and extract the contents onto your computer and run the .exe from there with your phone connected.

Deb thanks for the quick reply, am I supposed to have my phone in download mode?
Phone is fixed!!! Thanks to all!
Quick question, im sorry, as I didn't know where to ask. Even checked threads and couldn't find an already posted answer. I have a ns4g, rooted, still on stock rom. Will I still get ota's from google when they push newer software than 2.3.4, which is what I run, and also get ota software bug fixes from goolge when they release it? I really hope so, as I want to stay current with the latest builds from google.

I did the update from the LG updater but didn't like it. I just wanted to go back to Froyo with the old baseband so I can get the OTA update. I know the updates were the same, it is just person preference.
nvm...............
back to stock
yes i would also like to get rid of my garbage xboarders rooted LG ota 2.3.3 rom and start with a clean slate. i want to run the update either OTA or direct from LG updater, but I can't with the July 15 baseband. i'm having a lot of problems - i have to reboot phone to switch from wifi to data or vice-versa, echo sound through headphones, DTS makes music sound distorted and echo-ie, GPS takes FOREVER to lock on location (i even tried doing the hidden menu fixes), and a lot of times when I turn my phone it won't find a signal so i have to reboot (and i live in downtown portland, or), and tons of apps are just showing white boxes for icons, the whole thing is laggy as hell, etc. etc etc.. ever since i've had new baseband i've had tons of problems, regardless of what ROM i have installed. i've tried different kernels too.. so must be baseband right? i hope someone can help us out soon!
Okay ... So I am about to update to the latest pushed version. Am rolling back to EE4 now and have the update.zip on my card. What about CWM? Does my current version I've been using with my Gummy Charged 2.1 work with it? I have the Imosyn (sp) kernel on my card that I will apply after the update to 2.3.6 for root, as I understand it.
Are there any Gummy's or anything that are going to work after the 'official' update?
You don't use CWM with the update. You use stock recovery.
Gummy is EP1W. If you install it over the OTA, you'll bring yourself right back down to EP1, and the update will be pointless. You can get lagfix by running imoseyon kernel. It's EP4. It's slightly older EP4, but I haven't had any issues.

Thank you sir! Phone is updating now. I will apply the imoseyon kernel after it's done. Lagfix is the main thing anyhow, I can nuke the bloatness with my Titanium.
now I'm confused .... I no longer have CWM recovery. How am I to apply the imoseyon kernel via stock recovery? Can I just rename it as update.zip?
By taking it back to stock EE4 and installing the update, one of the things it did was restore the default recovery environment.
Go back into ODIN and install CWM, don't use Auto-Reboot. When it's done flashing, turn the phone off and hold the button combinations to start the phone into CWM. Flash iMoseyOn's kernel and you're done at that point.

You SHOULD have root since the kernel is your root method. Have you tried restarting?

Yeah I sure have. The kernel I used is imoseyon_kernel_charge_gb_4.0.0 ... not rooted .... guess I need to drop five yards and punt (do it all over)
Edit: The one thing I did not do prior to rolling back to EE4 was to do the big 3 wipe of data/cache/etc ..... maybe that's the problem?

Try installing Superuser from the Market? imosyeon kernel should have installed binary and apk, but maybe it missed part of it. If all else fails, flash the superuser zip from CWM.

Yes, I had installed SU from the market and didn't have root. I had an SU zip saved on my desktop .... su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed .... I put that on the sd and installed it and I am rooted !!
Thanx Again
I love Lagfix and Voodoo Sound, but I'm currently running the stock kernel. I read in other forum discussion that Samsung designs their kernels to work with their OS revisions. People have said they're getting the best performance with the stock kernel.
Until IMoseyOn releases a new kernel based on the EP4D source that was released, I'm going to stick with stock.
Just some food for thought.

My concern was updating to 2.3.6 and having root. (on the road all day and need wireless tethering so outlook is open on laptop) Using the tad older imoseyon kernel gave me that, plus lagfix, which I have liked since this phone hit the market. I'm good for now, I can always update when the latest and greatest comes out.

I have root on the stock kernel bro. Did a clean EE4 install, skipped as much set up as possible, ran update.zip in stock recovery, ODIN flashed imnuts' latest CWM recovery with auto-reboot disabled, booted directly into CWM recovery, flashed the latest SU zip, then ran setup as normal. Boom! Root.
Completely clean install, latest OS and kernel, root, plus tether works and everything.
Right now I'm just waiting on imnuts' TW4 theme to launch (he's estimating Sunday). Hopefully I can install that theme over a debloated and deodexed version of the latest OTA. It won't be long before IMoseyOn releases a kernel built from source that enables Lagfix. That's really all I'm missing, since Voodoo Control lets me load most of Voodoo Sound on top of the stock kernel.
What I'm REALLY looking forward to is an release of Liberty for the Charge or something AOSP if we ever get the 4G RIL sorted out... This things will take considerable time though.
It just doesn't matter ... In all honesty I liked the feel of the Gummy GBE 2.1 better than this stock ginger ... but again, it just doesn't matter to me. Functionality is all I care about, it's only a damn phone !!!
I loaded up the debloated/deodexed/rooted all-in one package danalo posted in development, flashed perfectly and after a wipe in CWM on first boot seems to be running fine except for the poop

Care to make a thread of what you done? Files used? I want to re-root my Charge, but want to keep the latest ota update and radios. Main question is the "update.zip" file?
iMoseyOn has stated that he's not going to be developing kernels anymore due to him having to turn in all of his phones to his old employer. He's taken up a new job and because of that he has to return his phones, including the Droid Charge.

Yeah, I read last night. Awful news. I hope someone can just get us full Voodoo and EXT4 support. I don't absolutely need OC/UV, but it'd be nice...
In other bad news, imnuts is getting a Galaxy Nexus and only pledging support for the Charge for "a few more months."
Let's hope JT and the gang can get this RIL figured out, so we can at least have Team Douche to continue development with CM 7.2 and CM 9...

Damn. And I thought it couldn't get any worse with iMoseyOn leaving. And now we have imnuts leaving too? It just went from bad to worse in a matter of 48 hours!
Guess I better get used to just using the stock kernel.
I have the Charge rooted with FP1 eclipse ROM. Last night I got an OTA update notification. I've been hitting install later because I know that OTA updates do not work with rooted ROMs. What I'd like to know is if someone can shed some light on what the new update is, if there's a rooted version and if it's worth the effort to upgrade. I'm rather happy with the phone as is.
Mike
Installed it last night. The only difference I've seen so far is the signal indicators. Voice and wifi bars display a weaker signal than FP1. Rooting process identical to FP1. I'm running stock and now get to debloat it all over again. It's still too soon to really know if this is good/bad/neutral.
Still Charged Up
So all i need to do is go back to a stock install, take the update and flash rom?

I suggest that you should go back to E4d with a pit file, then upgrade to FP1 then FP5. This is the best clean install. My phone run as fast as my previous tweak 2.2, pbj kernel etc..but everything is working very smoothly. My signal bar wifi/4g are same as before, no improvement on voice. Auto brightness and battery saver options are working well. My battery is the best to date without any additional apps and using wifi only, I have tested phone sleep time (not using phone that much, only about 1hrs usage), I have 14hrs (1 hrs usage) with 73% leftover at the end of the day. I felt like I have JellyBeen on the charge. I only installed about a dozen absolutely needed apps like phone tracker security app, go launcher ex, ad blocker, root explorer, busybox, foxfi, mybackup,titanium,FBM9(facebook app, fring, appinstaller), super user, original weather widget, go launcher switch (to toggle wifi/4g,flash light, etc..) to start out with. My opinion, yes you should upgrade, but do it with a pit file.

Pure stock FP5 with root and cwm. Everything is working beautifully. My facebook usually slow with tweak 2.2, PbJ kernel, but now it's fast with FP5. The only thing that slow is GPS lock, I replaced the gps.conf file and it locked very fast. I have nothing to complain with this version. I will wait for the new update version of tweak, there is no need to flash the old tweak 2.2.

I'm using FP5 pure stock with go launcher EX (make a big different on user experience) and set effect home page transition to "binary star", I could use my thumb and flip though home page like butter (super fast, even faster than my S3), scrolling is also super fast. The rom itself is better than any custom rom (eclipse or tweak) to date and the battery life is incredible (this comparison based on my phone using tweak 2.2/pbj kernel and FP5 pure rooted stock. Of course Tweak and eclipse were build on FP1, so until they build on FP5, this stock rom is my choice.
BTW, I found that with custom rom, they run well for a short while but then getting sluggish, then you have to do a tune up to get them back in shape, plus you have little bugs here and there..something to be consider if you don't have time to keep up.
So i just read on another forim NOT to install custom roms on FP5. How then do I get root? i thought it was the custom rom (eclipse, in my case) that provided the root. What am I missing?

Yes they are right, you shouldn't install custom rom on FP5 because they build on FP1. For now, your best bet is you can flash back to EP4D stock with pit file (highly recommended), OTA to FP1, then FP5, then flash cwm with auto reboot uncheck. Once done with cwm don't let your phone boot up, but boot into cwm instead and flash super user. Now you have stock FP5 rooted with CWM,

You just have to replace the original gps.conf file with a modified one (copy and pasted) that it. You may already have one with tweaked 2.2, if you do save this file to your sd card. After FP5, test out the gps first, if it working too slow then replace it with yours.
BTW, you should use Go launcher EX and set effects to "binary star". This make the home screen transition super snappy and smooth.
For what its worth I made no gps.conf edits on tweaked.

not sure if you meant FP5 build or FP5 kernel, but FWIW, I (and others) have had FP5 kernel running on Tweaked 2.x. so while I'm not sure if you can install a custom ROM on FP5 kernel, you can install FP5 kernel on a custom ROM.

CWM v5.0.2.0
As a result of trolling this site for a while, I have tried a few different ROMs and a couple of different kernels. All is good with this present combo except for an overheating issue while charging that I'm pretty sure is fixed (checked "Stay awake" in Settings/Applications/Development). I tried Hellfire Phoenix v2.3 last and dug it. I came back to CM7 because I recently had the need for bluetooth (headset) in my car and with my PC. I thought the problem was with the ROM, but after having the same bluetooth issue with CM7, I dug around here and found out that the problem is the baseband.
Am I right in that assessment?
If I am right and the only way to get bluetooth working on a custom ROM is to downgrade the baseband, is this what I need to do?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
Do I really need to go back to stock? Can't I just use CWM to flash a baseband that will work?
TIA,
Nasty
Yes, currently Bluetooth headset only works on the stock gingerbread roms with the new baseband.

Thanks...bummer. I guess I'll have to live without...not going back to stock.
I reloaded Hellfire Phoenix 2.4.2 and put the OC mod version of Mazout360's CM7/9/10 Kernel. I like it the most. But, it's a battery burner...which isn't that big of a deal most of the time. But if I have to do some traveling and need the extra battery life, I may need to flash the stock voltage version.
Question:
Can I flash the kernel without wiping everything out the ROM and having to go through the whole setup from the ROM's startup (reload apps, adjust settings/drawers/ringtones, enter mail accounts etc)?
Or would it be better to get an app like Setcpu and figure out how to downclock and lower voltage when I need the extra battery life.
Just boot into recovery and flash the kernel, don't need to wipe anything.
Assuming you're talking about mazouts non oc one.

You would still need to wipe cache and dalvik... can't flash a kernel without that typically.
