I am also searching for a Kernel to Overclock my Attain, but no luck so far :/ Maybe i can Pay a Dev to make one?

I would say go ahead and root as to be ready for when they finally get around to developing the custom roms. And it also helps in reducing battery discharge.

The only custom rom I know of is GASMOD by genevodot. Other than that there's really nothing else

gasmod rom

Well I update to 2.3.6 as soon as I got my attain so I've never been able to try gasmod

still no luck..
still searching for a custom rom for my attain.. rooted, but only in hope that a rom will come out soon. im not interested in the gasmod rom, there is still too many problems with it and the devs dont seem to want to apply any fixes.

Well the dev that made gasmod broke his attain so that will pretty much remain unfinished. All in all the attain is pretty much dead in terms of development activity and without a CWM recovery there's not much that can be be done. So don't hope for a custom rom lol. Even one member on the androidforums said he was gonna build a rom but that never saw the light of day. If you're familiar with theming then you can Atleast theme your attain to how you want it and add a few tweaks to the build.prop but that's about it.

Thank you for the help.. I got an ics theme using holo launcher.. Its pretty ok. I would feel better with a custom recovery and such but.. As it seems metro pcs isnt even selling my phone anymore so think im dead in the water... Thanks forbthe help though

This post has the best links for ya... I personally prefer to do the downgrade manually.
You won't regret this device, trust me ... It says 800mhz on the box but I run at 1ghz and most shifts are overclockable to 1.8-1.9ghz. Sense isn't too bad either, i.m.o, way better than blur. Look forward to seeing ya around the forums! :beer:

Since you are on 2.3.3 you will have to downgrade hboot and root from froyo. The link I posted goes to a post with links. The first link of that post is the one you are looking for...

ok sorry not familiar with down grading i usually just flash a tar file or run a windows batch file that automatically roots and runs the scripts automatically for you..

There are some batch scripts made by the developer Indirect... I believe the first link I posted has a link to that script as well... Its not difficult, just take your time and be patient...

And there's one more link to a script but I cant find it right now.
Like Drob said, to be able to get full s-off you'll have to downgrade your Hboot using one of the above mentioned methods. Or you could upgrade to 2.3.4 and use HTC's half ass unlock tool.

I guess technically you dont have to use sdk/adb.. Im sure you could use terminal to temp root and push the misc.img, then use ShiftRR (an automated root for 2.2.) once you have ruu'ed.

Yes, but in the long run it's going to be better to have all that ISH set up anyway .

Just a question and please dont take it the wrong way, but how does one plan on working on deving/porting miui or anything for that matter without the sdk/adb? I feel it is VERY important to have adb setup.

Let me know if you have any issues with the bootloader, I've been messing around with it a bit.

There's no need to use the unlock bootloader thing from htc, Indirect (over in the dev section) has a root method for 2.3.4 (if you choose to update to 2.3.4 anyway) that doesnt involve using the unlock tools

Well if your taking it to Sprint. Upgrading it to 2.3.4 is probably one of the first things they'll do. Before they even trouble shoot it . if you end up keeping the device, and they upgrade it. you can use the method suggested above. The link is below.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11

i took it to sprint they didn't give me a new phone sigh... and they did some stupid test whitch i know i could have done myself being a hacker and all.. i noticed phone freezing lagging like crazy my epic at the time was wonderful.. but they didn't upgrade firmware at all.. so i guess how would i upgrade to 3.4 ??

Setting>system updates> firmware update.. rooting does solve all the problems that the phone has

[QUESTION]About ANDROID ROMS

This keeps bugging my mind .
I keep on seeing different awesome roms here but doesnt seem to be able to apply them to my phone .
in other words , can i apply a custom rom to my phone that is significantly for other phones ?
Example : (Only an example)
I will apply a Custom Rom For Galaxy Y on my HTC Wildfire Buzz
IS IT POSSIBLE ?

I can't believe someone would even ask this question...NEVER FLASH ANYTHING THAT ISNT FOR YOUR DEVICE

Smarter to ask a stupid question and avoid the headache later.
As stated above the ROM needs to be specifically for your device. In some cases, and ALWAYS READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS, you will also need to be running a specific version of your current ROM.

should u root?

FOR GODS SAKE READ THE POSTS CAREFULLY XBSALLS THREAD IS FOR REPAIRING BRICKED PHONES NOT DOWNGRADE THEM
Please dont qoute the whole thread when replying !!!! Its so annoying
OK I made this thread cuz many people are constantly asking about should they root their phone or not
..well first root is gaining access to system files..that's a small definition.
Why should u root ?
Rooting it self isn't benefitial its the things after rooting ex(flashing roms .kernels etc)
1-custom roms and kernels improve performance and speed and many other stuff depending on the rom .
2-u can use modded apps like defcomg's camera mods for gb or ics.
3-u can use some os versions that are not officially out for your phone like (xbsall who ported ics for p920 and there is no official update till now)
4-use custom recovery for backup and restore.
5-modify many thing ex..boot animations .
6-over clock your device to make it faster .
Is rooting safe ?
Well in one of the worst scenarios .the phone gets bricked and u need to flash a new os..
What is getting bricked?
Its when the device becomes a brick due to system or boot failure.
Can it be fixed?
Usually yes but sometimes u get hard bricked and u can't fix it but this won't probably happen if u stick to the instructions and read them carefully.
How to root?
Don't ask me go search the forum every firmware has its own way of rooting and they are all mentioned in the forum.
What do I need to know before rooting and flashing roms ?
1-by rooting u are voiding the warrant if your device and u can un
root.
2-u may brick your device and u need to learn how to fix it ( its all mentioned in the forum)
3-there are different kinds of bricks ..the easy ones that's can be fixed by simply restoring a backup.and some tough bricks when the device can't even go to download mode or recovery (also fixable)..in some of the worst scenarios u may get hardware bricked and u need to take the device to the manufacturer for replacing parts but this won't likely happen If u know what ur doing.
4-u may loose your imei when unbricking and u can restore without the need of octopus box or other restoring ways.
5-fixing a bricked device isn't easy u need to try more than a way sometimes.
Is it worth it? ??
For me yes it is..
A piece of advice when u brick your phone and u will don't panic just search for the solution and u will find it..if u couldn't find a solution u can ask in the general section and users will help u..
Also read alot alot alot ....read every thing every single post about your problem before trying something or before posting a new thread.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask

[Q] SuperCharger v6 - How to make it 100% supercharged?

does anyone who owns SL here and using it (v6) know how to make it to 100% supercharged? i only can get it to 50%....

You need to install new version of service.jar or something. Jellybean's version requires some manual work, either using PC or somewhat. You need to read the original thread thoroughly.

just realised we're KAWANs! Hey I didn't know that there is an existing Malaysian who still uses Galaxy SL
Back to topic: If you're on JB, it will be more difficult; from what I remember you need to patch the service.jar, and copy some other files to make it work.
With all that... I succeeded once and then gave up because I flash new roms too often LOL.
But I do have the patched JB service.jar if you want.
