New kernel supported 2.6.35.10-g6d6a25c!
Guide is two posts below!! This is a stable temp permaroot with overclocking!!. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY
It goes up to 1,5ghz, 1,62ghz and up to 1,8ghz
It works 100% for me, and root has been stable all the time, haven't lost root unless i rebooted!
Just to ble clear, this is not my basework! Thanks to teamWin, eugene373, idanfima, coolbho3000 and wisefire for the easyfrevo part!
All i did was to repack it a little, edited some scripts etc.
If you wan't to donate, do it to these developers .
Anyways here it is
It comes packed with a overclock module folder, find the file that is the same as your kernel, and drag it into the base folder, run the script and when it says press a button to continue wait 15 seconds, then press a button
Oh, if the easy start doesn't work, try the redo one
It should now autocopy the setcpu.txt file to your sdcard!
And press thanks if it do!
Edit: added more steps, 1.5ghz, 1.5ghz undervolted, 1,6ghz and 1,8ghz and added 1,8ghz undervolt TEST + 1,6ghz undervolt TEST!
Drag the files in the 1,8 ghz folder into the main folder to go up to 1,8ghz. (did this to prevent accidental overclock)
If you get a constant popup with setcpu has been granted superuser access you can turn this off in notification

Nice work mate..... bra jobbet
Will give it a spin'n let ya know
A guide for noobs thanks to xuni89!
Well I'm new at this and this is how I went about doing it. This is for people who are extremely new and don't know what the hell is going on. My first guide ever... But I hope it will help!
Applications you need to download Etc..
*Download SetCpu 2.24 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
*ALSO Figure out your phone kernel. r3v0Lut10n said: to figure out the kernel of your phone go: settings > about phone > software > other (bandwith, kernel ...)
Now on step for Temp-root Overclocking:
1. Install HTC sync to your computer, and uninstall it. or another way is download the Naked HTC USB DRIVER: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1161769
- You will need to do this to enable usb debugging onto your phone
2. Go to your phone: Settings > Application > Development. Turn on USB debugging
3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB. You should see USB Debugging Enabled Icon on your phone if its working.
4. Download the Temp root with overclock file given in this thread and extract it
6. After extracting the file open up overclock modules, find the same number as your kernel and copy/drag it then to the base folder (where the adb.exe and the rest of the files are).
7. It should now autopush/autocopy the setcpu file on your sdcard! No need to this manually anymore!
8. Now all you do is run Easy Fre3vo (Start).bat, or if you want the undervolted 1.5g version open up 1,5ghz undervolted folder and copy Easy Fre3vo (Start) 1,5ghz undervolt.bat to the base folder and run it.
9. After its done, (wait 15 seconds? I didn't do this step still works haha.) before pressing anything on your keyboard. the cmd prompt should close and your done!
10. To check if your OC is working, open up SetCpu you should see your max at 1512 if you OC for 1.5.
anybody have quadrant scores?
yes please run a benchmark and post results thanks
Mine has always been slow, but i got much more with overclock! 2200 in quadrant, and went from 78 to 95 in linpack multi, 48 to 58 single.
I had one reboot while doing quadrant though, so i don't think mine likes it =/
Did it work okay for you guys?
for me after a few minutes it goes back to 1188 mhz from 1512 mhz D: what's wrong?
Hmm, it does that for me too, until setcpu asks for root access again, then it goes back up, try setting it as a profile!
any chances of getting this for us Mac users?
Thanks!!
trying as profile, i'll let you know.

EDIT:
I got Permission Denied
When you use setcpu, did you all use setcpu.txt?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Ok, so I used this and it worked great for a while, everything seemed as if it was working, then when I open up setcpu and point it to the txt file, it shows my Max at 1900000 but even when I select performance, the speed is still only 1188 MHz
Does browsing still lag?
You have a typo on the T-Mobile US module (there is a space before .ko in the file name), so it currently has to be dragged and then renamed to work.
Also the overclock script caused me to crash and reboot like right away.
Hmm, ill upload a fix later. I had one reboot too, but was it with 1,8 overclock? Did you wait 15 seconds before pushing next key? It works 100% with mine, even with a factory reset
The setcpu file was something i threw together while heading out the door

Second try worked, but failed on Quadrant in performance mode. Was with the 1728 or whatever stepping that was. Will fall back to 1500 for now.
I'm stuck at 528 max in setcpu. Ran the 1.8 root.
Hi everyone, I am the new owner of a USCC i500 mesmerize, running android 2.2.1 and EE19 update. I love the phone, aside from the annoying lag I get sometimes.
I've been researching countless threads over the last week, probably spent 10 hours just in this forum. There is an unbelievable amount of information out there.
I am looking for a very simple answer to a basic question, that I cannot find the answer to.
My phone is 100% stock. I want to only install the voodoo lag fix. I have attempted this by copying the update.zip file from the project-voodoo site to the sdcard directory and attempted booting in recovery mode. It will not install, I get E: signature not verified. After more research, I find out that it is because I have the 3E recovery system, and I need 2E to install this way.
The questions is: What is the easiest way to install Voodoo lag fix on my phone? I am not looking for any other customization just yet, still learning.
As a favor to this community, I will create a very in depth how to guide to accomplish this for new people, complete with photos and screenshots. There is a lot of information about installing voodoo, but none specific to the i500 and EE19.
Hey, welcome. First. Don't ever flash anything from the.voodoo website. Those are not for our phone and will cause alot of.problems.
As for voodoo, its actually quite easy
Just flash the recovery mentioned in the linked thread. Then head over to fascinate development and fine. Voodoo kernel for touchwiz and download. Place on the base of your sd card and boot to recovery and flash. I have almost all the voodoo kernels in my.dropbox
So once you get recovery flashed. If you would.like a quick link to one just let me know.

Thanks for the lightning quick response! If you could please link me to the kernel necessary, it would be highly appreciated!
Also, I do not have the proper version of ODIN installed. Could you please link me to that as well, thanks again!

This is a basic. Mild undervolt voodol kernel. No overclock. Its called Peanutbutter Jettytime and its developer is Imnuts. After flashing in the custom recovery your first boot will take a few while a creepy lady talks to you. That's normal.

I have Odin3 v1.7. Will this work for this setup?
Is there any other kernel that you would recommend for me? I wouldnt mind BLN or extended button ability....are those dealt with by the rom?
Generally BLN is in rom and kernel. Extended soft key is rom related. If you want to stay pretty much stock but have the extended soft keys you can check out the ee19 pick n pack rom as it is straight stock but has the addons such as extended soft key.
As for the kernel it really just depends on what you're lookin for. If you after a mix of performance and good battery life the the one I linked is good. Plus its a good one to start with. If you want to go for more.battery then there is anothef one by imnuts with more undervolting. Although you may wanna try the one first and see how your phone responds to undervolting before going to low. And if you want more perfomance then you may want to look into the OTB but that would also require root as you need an app to adjust the voltage settings. So it really just depends. Flashing kernels and ROM are not that hard one you get the hang of it. And bricking these phones is damn near impossible. So if you think you would rather try one of the others mentioned just let me know.
And last. I believe that version of odin will work fine.
Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize
Awesome, thanks. I have the three files that I need in a folder on my computer.
Odin3 v1.7.exe
cwm recovery-all.tar
imnuts voodoo TW kernel.zip
Please review my step by step procedure to make sure I am correct- I am quite fearful of doing something wrong and not having a working phone, it is my first time
Should I do any sort of backing up before I try this?
1. Open Odin by clicking the .exe file.
2. Click the PDA button, select the cwm-recovery.tar file
3. Turn off phone, remove battery.
4. plug your USB cable into the computer, then plug in your phone.
5. Hold the volume key down until the yellow android appears.
6. Check the Odin software. Your phone should be recognized in one of the boxes.
7. Press the start button.
8. If the yellow box turns green, it was successful.
9. Phone will power off, remove cable. Reinstall battery.
10. Turn phone on, copy the 0531_Imnuts_50_voodoo_TW.zip file to the root of your sd card.
11. Turn phone off.
12. With phone off, hold the volume up, volume down, and power keys until the samsung logo appears. Release the power button but continue to hold down the two volume keys.
13. When the recovery screen appears, select the imnuts.zip folder, press home to select. Phone should install kernel.
Pretty much. Only thing is in recovery bthe back button is the select.button. and the menu.button is back. When in recovery you will see install zip from sd. Select that then choose zip from sd. Then scrol to the imnuts file and select. Also the volume up and down work to move the highlighted feild up and down. Other than that you are good to go. Also to save time. May wanna move the imnuts file to your card before you start. That way once your done with odin you can boot straight into recovery. Let me know if you need any help

14. When complete, press back at the red menu to reboot system.
15. Phone will reboot, will take abut 5 mins. Weird robot voice is normal.
16. Phone now has lagfix applied. Download voodoo controls from the marketplace to take control of the audio features. Enjoy the much faster operation of your phone

Install went perfectly. Phone runs much smoother.
This automatically roots my phone, correct? I notice the superuser icon now.
Do you have any good thread recommendations on some must have rooted apps? I see there a bunch of CPU setting apps on the marketplace- is this recommended?
Any other cool things I should try with my phone now that its rooted?
Download rootchecker from the market and see if it says your indeed rooted. If so then there is several apps that are great. As for CPU apps. Most wont work on the kernel your on. But some will allow you to set the CPU governor and such
As for rooted.apps. I.don't know of a thread right off but root uninstaller, root explorer, file expert is a good free alternative to root explorer, titanium backup. There more.but that's just what I know of right off
Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize
Ok, Ive got Ti backup and Voodoo controls installed. Got BLN control from the marketplace and it works perfectly. One question though- I notice that on the build list for the kernel:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ernel-05-30-11-tw-peanutbutta-jelly-time.html
There are some utilities (voodoo color, smartass cpu,) Is there any way for me to adjust these or reference them from the phone? Or are they just features that run automatically?
Also- my phone still has a lot of the uninstallable bloatware from USCC. I have heard things about 'freezing' these...does the kernel support this? I understand that I can totally remove them once I take the plunge and flash the custom rom. One final note- I have read that I need to disable lagfix before flashing a rom or another kernel...can this be done by simply deselecting lagfix in the voodoo controls, or do I have to add the 'disable lagfix' file and folder?
Thanks again for all your help, you have given me the confidence get my phone to a decent performing state! Scored 1628 on quadrant- prior to the mod, it was around 900
Voodoo color isn't adjustable on that kernel. Set CPU you can use on that one though to set tthe governor. As far as bloatware. If your rooted you can remove most of the bloatware without going to a custom rom. Just use an app like root uninstaller. And make sure you don't remove anything important like the market or things like that.
As for disabling voodoo. I always use the file in the voodoo folder. That way I know its in there. Once its in there reboot and you should hear the lady voice again while it disables it

Yep, its rooted. Will try out the uninstaller to get rid of all the crap on there. Ill check back in with you when its time for me to add a custom rom
Deffinately. Go through the development thread and find one you want. And if you need help. I would be more than happy to help ya.

Ok, so I rebooted my phone last night while messing with the LCD density app. Now, it appears that Ti backup is claiming to not have root access. Same with root uninstaller. However, when I run root checker, it says it is rooted. Any suggestions?
You can try clearing the data in those apps. I have had that happen and most of the time a reboot or clearing the data on the apps fixes it. To clear the data go to settings>applications >manage apps>all.

Hi Guys,
I am new in this forum although I am reading specific threads almost every day. I am currently using Endymion v2.2 and I am pretty happy form it. Previously I've tried some other ROMs but I think Endy is mine ROM.
In version 2.1 it was undervolted with -50 and it was working stable on my HTC Desire S. So when I've installed v2.2 from time to time I was UV it with -50. However after restart everytime it goes back to default state. So today my phone restarted incidently (happen about once per 1 or 2 days) and I've UV it with -50. After pressing Save and Activate permanently my phone freezed. No keys were working. After that it is restarting on every 20 mins. In fact it is alive for 1-5 mins, freezing for 15 mins and restarting itself. I've tried to boot it in recovery mode and deleted all types of cache (probably bad decission) but no change. I will be very thankfull if anyone have any ideas (Alternatevelly I could try to wipe and install v2.0 from scratch since it is the only one I have on the SD card)
Thanks a lot!
I know that probably this is not the best thread for this but forum rules do not allow me to post anything on Dev forums until I have 10 post or more.

Change the U/V to -25 and if that doesn't work put them to default !
Also did you Underclock it?
I've tried with default and even with +25 (current one) but there is no difference.

I haven't overclocked it further. I am using default settings comming with v2.2 (I think by default it is OC to 1075)

Thats ok did you update OC/UV Beater2 as there were issues with newer versions above 1.5?
One interesting fact:
When phone is freezing all keys are not working. However I can call it! It gives a free signal but it doesn't rings. So maybe it is 'sleeping' somehow.....

Most probably since the problem begins when I've tried to do -50 in UV. But now according to OC/UV Beater2 UV is by default and OC is using the default setting which are comming from the ROM. I've revoke permissions to this application from Superuser but nothing changed
Any ideas how to swich off Undervolting/Overclocking?
Unfortunatelly I should be quite fast since I have usually 1-2 mins before next restart. (Today probably the phone restarted at least 20 times.)
I am also having my phone in the charger. I do know that I should not pull the battery in any case.
I have to travel so I will be back after about 3h. Since my phone is unuseful I will not be able to respond to this thread before I am getting back home.
Thanks to all for the help

Agreed, seems something wrong with of/iv beater. Please uninstall it completelly, by doing this (i assume you know how to use adb):
- reboot to recovery and connect USB cable
- adb remount
- delete the app from /data/app , don't quite recall the name, but its obvious once you see it
- delete /system/etc/init.d/98setvddconfig
- reboot
See if this helps.
Cheers
--edit--
If you don't have time, the really important part is deleting the file in /system/etc/init.d

I've just installed Android SDK and JDK Will try to delete it on next restart probably after 10-15 mins or in worst case in next-next restart - about 30 mins. Will let you know as soon as I have some more info.
I was not quick enough in first attempt (since I had less than a min). I run ES File explorer and tried to find /system. By default it was on /sdcard and I do not know how to go to root folder and then to system (hope next time to have more time before freeze)
Btw now the phone is frozen quite funny because of back button press it is vibrating
Updated:
found this on Internet: menu->settings->root options-> check "Root Explorer" Will try it on next restart
Root Explorer option is swiched on. Now it says that /system should be mount

Sorry, I missed something, flash this instead:

Sorry maybe a dumb question:S
But I think I will not have time to copy the file. Probably there is a way in recovery mode...I will google for this...
So I O/C'd a bit too much before running a quadrant test and my phone crashed during the test. Upon reboot, phone lasts about 20 seconds before crashing again due to the settings being a bit too high for the processor, just like with quadrant. Is there a flashable .zip I can use to reset SetCPU rather than being in this endless booting process?
EDIT: I just let it sit and cool down for a few then unchecked set on boot when I made it back in so I'm fine for now, but a .zip file that I can use would be nice though if such a thing exists.
If it happens again wile dalvik and cache and flash the rom...sometimes that works.
Otherwise you can use adb
Or start from scratch
Or
Always create a nandroid beforehand...gives you a safe restore point
Sent from my SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yes always keep a nandroid backup. And never check set on boot in setcpu thats exactly what happens when u do and your clocked to high. Sounds like u need to wipe data factory reset in cwm.
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------
Theres no zip file. Just dont ever check set on boot, and youll be fine homie
press menu>safe mode instructions>extract zip
that will create a cwm flashable zip file that will either enable or disable setcpu safe mode (safe mode just over rides your OC settings)....
Sweet! Good to know

you can boot into recovery and remove the setcpu application:
rm /data/app-asec/com.mhuang.overclocking-2.asec
the number might be different to you'll have to ls first probably

Also credits to Mastajeff for originally making the guide for T-Mobile.
First off download these files: http://d-h.st/PK3q
Extract them to whatever folder you want, there will be 5 files in there.
Folder named: "su" contains the SuperSU and thing needed to root the phone
ADB Setup EXE called: "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe" Needed to install ADB and the Drivers
Special patched Odin that skips the SHA 225 called: Odin PrinceComsy.exe (Mainly for AT&T)
.ini file named: "Odin3.ini"
Last, file, named: "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR", this is the engBoot for the phone.
NOTE: Some users have experienced endless boot loop; this seems to be caused by using a package disabler that disabled certain services.
If you used one and end up getting an endless boot loop try wiping the cache and factory reset the phone.
I suggest you backup your phone before doing this, just in case something happens.
Install ADB by running adb-setup-1.4.3.exe
Make sure to put your phone into downloading mode (Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
Open up Odin and click AP and mount Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
Once restarted put the phone into USB debugging mode (Need Developer options for this)
To get developer mode, go to "About" then tap "build number" about 6 or 7 times
Go back to settings and you should now see developer options, turn on USB debugging
Now back on your PC, Move the folder named "su" into your ADB folder (Default Path: C:\adb)
Run CMD by either Win + R and typing cmd or from the control panel.
Once CMD is open type this
Code:
cd C:\adb\su
or whatever your path to your "su" folder.
After that type root.bat
Wait for the CMD to finish and then your phone should restart
Once your phone has finally restarted you will notice that SuperSU was installed and root should be working, download root checker to find out for yourself.
If your CMD just says starting Daemon and doesn't proceed any further than that, then you forgot to make sure USB debugging was turned on.
If everything went well you will see the CMD was able to push SuperSU.
You can now install Xposed via Flashfire. Unfortunately, TWRP does not work on this method, so, DO NOT TRY, there is a chance that you can Brick your phone from doing that.
NOTE: DO NOT UPDATE THE SU BINARY!

Thanks 2swizzle for mentioning this.
If you want to fix the lag/slowness download any CPU or Kernel Editor or changer.
This one works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en
To fix the lag
Open up the APP
Go into the CPU settings
Set CPU Governor to ondemand
Apply on boot
Thanks to orgulloso4202 I have found a way to fix the battery drain and help with Youtube and the CPU.
L Speed seems work fine and my battery no longer drains when using the recommended Profile.
Interesting. First Sammy I've seen that Knox is intact but Samsung Pay won't work.
Have been searching a bit after rooting mine, don't suppose anyone has word on how to or if you can install TWRP or Xposed?

Got Xposed with flashfire but sadly it left me in a boot loop on the verizon logo, think I need to start over.
If we can get the bootloader unlocked it will be fun times indeed!
Going to try this soon.
Don't care if my phone blows up, it's the 4th here in the U-S-A!
Besides my trusty Nexus 6 and even Note 5 are ready for duty!
Xposed would be nice, I do miss those features.
Layer support even just to change up the statusbar.
Themes have done a nice job to blackout the device.
Root, center clock and some battery icon customizations and I'm all set for sure.
Perhaps the horrid standby time will be fixed.
Because as of late this phone has lead to high frustration to the point where I want to see how good it skips across the lake! But when I think of how much I paid for it, well I keep it in my pocket!
TWRP doesnt work, but you can install Xposed from flashfire.

So with Xposed working, that means battery saving apps like Greenify and Amplify work now for our devices?

Not 100% sure.
I haven't really installed it on my phone. I only know Xposed work due to the countless others that tried it; however, I don't see why those should not work.
Xposed is working fine and you guys need to install a kennel app and change the engboot settings to ondemand, that's why it lags and slow

Negative. The eng kernel has shown some lag and performance slowdowns for some people but can be remedied by changing the governor.

Am I missing the download files for Verizon or are they not posted here
Can anyone report that they are suffering overheating issues after rooting even after a FDR? Thanks!

They are posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-root-s7-edge-t3410470
I guess maybe I should make a thread here with all the download links and some other links that fix things.
Thread updated!
Added links and more stuff.

If you try opening the app you will get a message saying: "Access denied. Unauthorized modifications have been made to your device."
I am guessing that the app has some other type of security that checks if phone has been modded.
Anyone tried to unroot? Does Samsung Pay work if you revert NB to stock?
