Don't expect to much more...HTC tends to pretty much max out theirs from the start....Incredible was only stable to around 1.2..... but anything will help..undervolting may help battery however...Just sayin so folks don't get their hopes up too high...Now if this time is different and I'm wrong...what a wonderful day!!!!!

Hey Droid,
I made one mistake after step 4 and that was to reboot. I didn't so i was stuck in s-ON. I had to do step 4 over and i was good to go.

OK. I just did the backup and my phone is asking me to chose from several options. Which one? apply sd card:update.zip??
Also I am more interested in underclocking than overclocking at this point just so I can save some battery when not in use. Should I stay away from this or should I download an app?..

I really hate forced email confirmation.
Anyway, I joined to contribute a little bit. Realized after the fact I wasn't in the right thread, but in case someone can assist.
I may have to attempt the manual steps because for some reason it's just not working with Rooter no matter how many times I try. I was at it for over 6 hours yesterday and eventually went to bed.

- I strongly suggest that instructions be clear that an SD card is required. I yanked it thinking that logically, I would want the files written on the phone and have the SD card left alone as that's where all of my stuff is. Fortunately I had a spare laying around.
- Step 1 "seemed" to go through but the phone never went to bootloader. It sat there oblivious. I had to trigger Step 1 twice to get it to go.
- The phone did not flash nor did it prompt upgrade after selecting bootloader. It still took me to the menu options for FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, etc. Selecting any of these then prompted the upgrade. I'm guessing this is telling the phone to actually reboot itself.
- Step 2 never got off the ground. It claimed it was loading something but the phone never changed. Rooter sat there with a bunch of dots for over an hour, and I knew it had never even gotten anywhere. And unfortunately, unlike Step 1, you can't trigger it again to force it to go through.
- Realizing that Step 1 had already completed, I shut down Rooter, and relaunched thinking I could just then trigger Step 2 and continue where I left off. Well, it proceeded to basically do the Step 1 operations again, defeating that purpose.
I may have to attempt the manual steps because for some reason it's just not working with Rooter no matter how many times I try. I was at it for over 6 hours yesterday and eventually went to bed.

I tried that first and it didn't work for me. Do it the manual way and we can get this done. Do you have the links? If not go to this link.

If you have a problem downloading them...tell me and I'll send you over on a PM the loaded files. DO NOT OPEN THE PG05IMG zip files,only download them.
I'll explain why later. After the download...the whole process takes about 20 minutes or so to complete
