[Q] Overclocking ROM-free

I want to overclock the NS without having to replace the rom. Would this be possible? Are there additional risk associated with overclocking without replacing the ROM?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. All you need is root and clockwork recovery. Then download Netarchy's kernel. I know for sure that his kernel works on stock rom since he said so himself. I don't know about Trinity kernel though.

I run stock and I've tried both the trinity stock kernel and netarchy cfs kernel OC @ 1.2ghz. Personally I've had better results on the netarchy kernel.

Can I put the stock kernel if I don't like the netarchy kernel? Because I use Bluetooth and wifi always and i just wanted to get a little bit more of my NS!

Make a nandroid backup of the stock rom then flash the kernel. I use netarchy every day and am usually on wifi with my bt earpiece in.

I'm having a hard time finding how to flash the kernel (found a lot about how to flash the ROM though).
Would someone link me a FAQ or list some quick instructions on how to go about it?
I have ROM manager installed already (woot!)
Thanks again!

same thing as flashing a ROM.
just make sure if you're flashing a kernel over stock.. make sure its the kernel built for the "stock" rom and not a kernel for CM7 or Bionix etc

Assuming the kernel you want is clockwork compatible, put the zip file of it in your sdcard.
Boot to clockwork recovery either via ROM Mgr (if you're rooted) or via fastboot if you're not.
In Clockwork, find the menu option to install a update/file/zip from sdcard. Select that option, then navigate with the volume keys to the zip file for the kernel. Select it by pushing the power button. Select and answer yes for the are you sure warning. Wait for it to give you a update applied successfully message.
Navigate up to where you can select reboot, and reboot.
You should be on your new kernel.
I WOULD ALWAYS RUN A NAND BACKUP FROM CLOCKWORK BEFORE MESSING WITH THIS STUFF. And ideally, I would keep a copy of that backup on my laptop or dropbox account, not just my sdcard on the phone.

Thanks for all your (very quick) help!
I'm currently running Netarchy's 1.2.2 BFS @ 1.3 and it definitely feels a big snappier with loading some programs

I put today the netarchy kernel 1.2.2 and i have one question...
Where is the VooDoo Improvements? I didn't find the application!
For me the kernel is stable and wifi works even when bluetooth is disabled!

[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - Infuse 4g

[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - Infuse 4g
ABOUT
--------------
These Odin flashable tar.md5 packages contain the stock AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread release for the Samsung Infuse 4G with root added.
For those who are interested, there are also rooted options below that have busybox and are deodexed and zipaligned. An option is also provided below that includes CWM recovery and a few extras.
These rooted Odin packages do not contain bootloaders. Have rainbow distortion and want GB bootloaders to fix that? See question 1.) in the FAQ below for an explanation, warning, and link to a separate package that contains and flashes Gingerbread bootloaders.
The first two versions below use the stock UCLB3 kernel and have stock recovery. The third option below uses Entropy's Daily Driver (April 5th, 2012 test kernel with working MHL HDMI out), and includes red CWM recovery. For more information about Entropy512's kernel, go HERE.
INSTALL
--------------
1.) Download Odin from HERE and extract the program from the .zip file.
2.) Download the version you want. Use a program like 7zip to extract the Odin flashable tar.md5 from the .rar file.:

Want to try some different kernels, like Zen Arcade's Infusion-Z? Odin kernel packages are HERE.
3.) Install Samsung Kies to install the latest Samsung USB drivers. This can be found HERE.
Reboot PC. Then, attach phone via USB, and allow drivers to install.
4.) In recovery, wipe all user data and wipe all cache data, BEFORE flashing. If you don't do this, I can't guarantee that your phone won't loop at the AT&T boot animation, or that you won't have other issues.
Put phone in Recovery Mode (Turn phone off, disconnect USB cable, hold power button and both volume buttons, release power button when Samsung logo appears, continue to hold volume buttons until recovery screen appears.). In recovery, choose and follow prompts for options to wipe user data and to wipe cache data.
5.) Place phone in Download Mode (Remove battery, hold down both volume buttons, replace battery, attach USB cable, and then continue to hold volume buttons until the phone enters Download Mode.).
6.) With phone in Download Mode, open the Odin exe. In Odin, if the phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
7.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
8.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
9.) You're finished. You now have stock AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread (UCLB3) with root.
NOTES
----------------
a.) If you skipped step 4.) and your phone boot loops at the AT&T boot animation, hold down the power button and both volume buttons until you enter recovery. In recovery, wipe all user data and wipe all cache data. Reboot and the phone will boot into rooted 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
b.) If everything has been done correctly, the Setup Wizard will appear when you first boot Gingerbread. If the phone first boots into Gingerbread, and you don't get the Setup Wizard, go to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset and choose "Reset Phone".
FAQ
-----------------
1.) I have rainbow distortion in recovery or in the boot animation. How can I get Gingerbread bootloaders to fix this?:
You can download THIS .rar file, extract using 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 package in Odin (use the pda slot). Flashing Gingerbread bootloaders will correct rainbow distortion in recovery and in the boot animation. Only flash these if you are having issues with rainbow distortion, and only if you have had success flashing other, less dangerous items in Odin. If something happens to cause a flash of these bootloaders to fail, then you run the risk of bricking your phone. See THIS post and THIS post for more of an explanation of why bootloaders weren't included in the rooted UCLB3 Odin packages.
2.) Isn't there a way to root stock UCLB3 Gingerbread without flashing these Odin packages?:
Yes. See THIS how-to thread that I put together for an explanation of how to root stock UCLB3.
3.) How do I get CWM recovery if I flashed a version with the stock kernel?:
If you didn't flash Option C with CWM recovery already included, you can flash a custom kernel that includes CWM recovery by using SGS Kernel Flasher on the phone. Find and install SGS Kernel Flasher in Android Market / Google Play Store. Then, place the zImage of a compatible custom kernel that includes CWM recovery on your internal sdcard, and flash using SGS Kernel Flasher. Entropy's Daily Driver, includes red CWM recovery, and can be found HERE.
4.) My phone is displaying something that looks like this: Phone-!-PC. What is this, and can I use these Odin packages from here?
That is still download mode. If you reach that screen, a flash has been interrupted or has failed, and you are in a type of backup download mode. Reset Odin, and start over with your flash. These packages will flash in this mode, just as they will in regular download mode.

Everyone in the Infuse 4g XDA forum
Hope this helps someone out. Please use this thread for any questions or comments about using the Odin packages. It's okay to ask UCLB3 related questions here also, but remember, I didn't create the firmware. That one is on Samsung / AT&T, and these are just packages provided to make it easier to get root and /or CWM recovery with that firmware.

Good Job, bro.

Very nice. Thanks

Using this for a day. And I like it very much. All functionas that I need is working perfectly for now. With root I can customize stock as I want. Thanks. As for me this is best ROM out here!

Is there any interest in a deodexed version also in this format?

Yes there is. The deodexed version has a lot less lag. I ran the leak for about a month when it was released and then i flashed the deodexed version and you can tell a big difference.

Yeah, when I was using UCLB3 (on CM9 now), I had it deodexed and preferred it that way.
When I get home from work, I'll make and upload a deodexed version in this format.

Cant tell about this for sure. I've used only UCLB3 stock and [UCBL3] [Dev]astation [2.3.6]. First is good and have many usefull functions and they are working fine (fast GPS, Car Holder, correct bluetoth and many other). Second one is a lot faster but not all functions are working, GPS is realy slow also stability is not so great for me. Right now current your ROM is good for me becouse it has thing that I needed being on UCLB3 - ROOT. If deodexed version will add speed and will not make this ROM less stable, than people will love it. Me for sure =)

This will just optimize system apps and framework stuff that depends on .odex files, and will make it easier to mod system and framework files. Nothing major; everything will still work like stock. I'll keep the stock version available also.

I was curious, mostly.
2 wks ago, I had put together a method to root the UCLB3 when we saw a spike in how to root this thing in the Q/A everyday. It consisted of a cwm-flashable that installed busybox and superuser, then deleted most ATT bloats. And then installed google talk video from the G-Nex.
To get to cwm, I had a Heimdall-1-click of Entropy's DD kernel. I suppose any GB insecure kernel would work too. Entropy's latest would be nice because it would also have HDMI and CWM recovery.
After the kernel flash, you can boot into recovery and flash the cwm package.
And then UCLB3 would be "rooted", busybox and SuperUser.apk. Plus some bonuses (Gtalk, Gvoice, Terminal Emulator and minus ATT bloats. It was painful but I left Facebook and a few others in place)
Once you started with the Tar for Odin, I made a Heimdall-1-click for this rooted ROM as well. What was odd was that I had corrected the vold.fstab for the external sdcard access, before copying over the factory.rfs.
After the package was put together, the vold.fstab reverted back to mm2 instead of mm1 for the stock kernel.
Odd...
I didn't know if that happened to you or not.
Anyway, imo, I don't think you need to worry about another version with Entropy'd DD, I think most users should be able to use SGS-Kernel flasher to get to cwm.
About the deodex aspect, dman already made up a deodex version...I thought it was odd that others didn't use it. It may also be redundant too, but that's just my opinion.
I think the Odex apk do not make dalvik caches. Thereby, have a fast boot time and less chance of cache corruption. I've been using the odex rooted version with the stock kernel, and have noted an initial lag, but after leaving the phone alone for 20 minutes, it is pretty responsive and snappy.
This stock rom is missing Lidroid's, Battery mod, and a few other things..but then, after you add those, lol..we are running vagabond, spartan, pharmnerd midagu's etc...
If anyone wants a heimdall 1 click...

Odin ftw .

Yeah, I get that great options have already been presented to do all of this. Didn't mean to step on any toes.
Some posters were asking for an Odin option, so I made one. I personally prefer Heimdall myself, but maybe Odin is easier for some.
This is mainly just another tool to get rooted stock UCLB3. Hopefully it helps some.
When I get home, I'll still do a deodexed version, but agree that it's easy enough to use SGS Kernel Flasher to get CWM recovery.

qkster, that didn't happen to me when I made this package. But, that is probably because of the process I used to get the factoryfs.rfs. I got everything exactly how I wanted on the phone, including setting up vold.fstab after switching kernels back and forth during the root process, and then I did a system dump using dd on the phone after doing a factory reset.

{ROM}{STOCK}{ICS} Rogers Official UXLF3 - UNTOUCHED - CWM5 flashable

THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM ROM. THIS IS STOCK OFFICIAL ROGERS ICS UXLF3 FIRMWARE. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR MODS, I HAVE PROVIDED THIS UPON REQUEST.​
INTRODUCTION
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is the Stock Official ROGERS/Samsung Released Firmware for the SGH-I727R (Skyrocket) based on Android Platform 4.0.4 aka ICS. It is targeted for:
* Anyone who wants to be on the stock release, doesn't want to use ODIN.
* Wants to build a custom rom, and needs an official base. (see post #2)...
* Or, you just want a baseline.
PACKAGING
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well it is Stock, untouched, except for the deodexing and zipaligned. Your kernel and radios will be updated as in the official update. The only thing I have left out is the recovery, and I can provide a flashable one later, if you really really want to be stock for any future OTA update. See the optional flash if you need busybox and su.
- DeOdexed as per my stringent process, no using Kitchen or any other nonsense. Every apk get's what it needs in the classpath.
- zipaligned.
- all ownsership and permissions exactly as in stock install.
- Untouched UXLF5 boot image (i.e kernel + ramdisk).
- Your radio/modem will be updated to UXLF3.
- [OPTIONAL] If you want to flash busybox/su see the ADD-ONS. This will effectively root your install.
- [OPTIONAL] If you want the modified boot.img that enables init.d scripts, bootanimation, insecure boot, then flash the boot.img listed in the add-ons
INSTALLATION
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pretty straight forward. The only requirement is you need CWM 5 and above (I have tested with the touch recovery). NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE DATA.
1) Backup, Nandroid preferred.
2) Download and Copy the ROM to your device. (Please make sure you check the MD5SUM, the dowload link has the correct one).
3) Copy any additional add-ons you want to your devices, internal or external sdcard.
4a) Boot into CWM recovery (remember that is the requirement).
4b) In your recovery format /system (in touch recovery it is under: "mounts and storage)
4c) wipe data and cache partition
5) Flash the ROM.
6) [OPTIONAL] If you want busybox and su (binaries only). This will ROOT your phone. Flash it now.
7) [OPTIONAL] If you WANT the modified boot.img (modified ramdisk + stock kernel) flash that.
8) [OPTIONAL] If you want to flash a *different* radio, flash it now.
9) reboot

one question, is there a way to unroot without flashing stock
edit: im guessing that there is no stock recovery in this rom, making it a stockish firmware

Yup just deleting the binaries is enough to "unroot". I may update the op with the revert script (busybox and su) and the respective stock recovery, when i get chance..

Very nice work, Maybe I should give it a try lol.

i have installed this on my SGH-i727 ATT handset.
By far this rom gives the best battery and performance...
Thanks op...
But this rom is having shutdown/reboot freeze issue.
Embryo 4.1 is discharging battery than any other roms, otherwise it is also ok.

Can I use Twrp to flash this? Sorry for the noob question

Hi mohan,
Is there any way you could do the same for Rogers GB? It would be a great help for me. As ICS is crap I get RR and freezes. It doesn't get the right time zones and etc.

Incredible rom! Just had my skyrocket for 2 weeks, flashed 5-6 jb roms, vincoms the best imo, seanscreamz close behind.
I thought I'd come back to stock for a couple reasons. One, to get a baseline and see how good stock Rogers ics is battery wise, two, I can't seem to get nfc figured out and want to see if stock will do it. A co-worker has a stock ics sgs3, we can transfer apps, web addresses etc., but where he transferred a feature film to a different co-worker with a stock Rogers ics sgs3, via nfc in about 30 seconds, it fails with my skyrocket. I notice that their phones have sbeam in addition to nfc and android beam, maybe that's the difference. But I was wondering if there's issues transferring between ics and jb?
Thanks!

Sorry to double post but I thought this would be as good a place as any to post this. Went in to Rogers today to get my lte SIM card, to my surprise they didn't even charge me! I can't believe these speeds the screen shot shows the speed is double my Wi-Fi speeds at home! And look at the comparison to the 3g or H+ too, that's just sad. I'm expecting to pay for it battery wise but I can live with that for these speeds!

Yes, all you need to do is download the stock verizon rom for this phone onto your computer and Odin back to stock using PDA. Only use the PDA section in Odin. If you didn't change kernels then you don't need to flash the kernel, because the kernel is already the stock one. You can use custom kernels on Synergy. I'm using a custom kernel on synergy 1.3. What I did was downloaded the verizon ez recovery app from the play store, give it root permissions when you open it. Included in that ex recovery is a few different recoveries including CWM and TWRP and invisibleks v2 kernel. You can flash a kernel using that program. You simply just select the kernel and hit flash and then reboot recovery. The only downside is that when you flash a kernel you lose your recovery. But since you have the easy recovery, you just flash a recovery and you'll get a recovery back. Its really simple and awesome! I'm using Imoseyons Lean kernel v12 and it allows over clocking to 1.9! And under locking as well. I'm getting phenomenal battery life.

Yes, all you need to do is download the stock verizon rom for this phone onto your computer and Odin back to stock using PDA. Only use the PDA section in Odin. If you didn't change kernels then you don't need to flash the kernel, because the kernel is already the stock one. You can use custom kernels on Synergy. I'm using a custom kernel on synergy 1.3.

It shouldn't matter if you have a flashed a custom Kernel. Just Odin the stock ROM
Also if you want to go completely back I believe you will also need to flash the stock recovery and possible the flash counter.

[Q] Flashing different kernels

hi
I'm currently running Siyah kernel, but having some issues with phone freezing and giving black screen.
Manually have to remove battery to restart.
I'm considering using different kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6] v2.5
Currently using NeatRomLite
My question is: what are the proper steps to follow for switching kernels.
- Do i first run the ultimate cleanig script and then flash the new kernel
or
- First flash and then run script
Also, should i rather use Odin or use CWM for flashing the kernel
Any advice will be appreciated

after a bit more searching, it seems the recommendations are:
copy cleaning script and new kernel to EXTERNAL sd card
boot into CWM
- flash cleaning script
- do not perform reboot
- flash new kernel
any objections to the above?
