Angry [Kernel] Gorilla O/C Kernel Overclock MYTOUCH 4G to 1.7 ghz Upated 1/4/2011

CURRENT VERSION IS v2.0

I used the work of Coolbho3000 from the G2 thread to do most of this, so I am crediting him here for his work.


Download stock kernel to revert back!
This kernel is only good for the stock shipping ROM and Iced Glacier.


Unzip the zImage and bcm4329.ko file.

In terminal Type: adb reboot bootloader,

Then: fastboot flash zimage /path/to/zImage

Then: fastboot reboot

Now just like in the G2 thread, your wifi will be broken, so following the instructions from that thread:

adb push bcm4329.ko /sdcard/bcm4329.ko
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cat /sdcard/bcm4329.ko > /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Now your wifi will work.

I just uploaded a script that you can use with Gscript (get it in the market). If you copy the bcm4329.ko to the root of your sd card and run my script it will load the wifi module and fix your wifi.
Make a folder on your sd card called: gscript. Download my script and put it in this folder. Download gscript lite or paid from the market. open the app, click menu, add script. choose the wifi_driver_gscript, click load file. All you do now is open gscript and click the script, it runs very fast and fixes your wifi!

You still have to fastboot flash the zImage. For now anyway.
As usual I am not responsible if your phone breaks!

Enjoy the Overclock!!!!
Remember Everyone's silicon is not equal. Some will do great all way up to the top. Others will lock and freeze and have to scale the freq. down!

Source code here on Github

There is a donate link in signature if you appreciate my work.

If you haven't already, get a copy of SetCPU from the market to thank Coolbho3000 for all of his work. Without him we would not be overclocking like we do today!

Credits: scotty2 and #G2Root, Coolbho3000, Pershoot(helped me learn how to compile these), Cyanogen, Kmobs(for getting CM working on our phone), anyone I missed, sorry.

Kernels are on my site. AS of now you must get the proper Kernel for your ROM. There is a Stock kernel that should work on everything except CM. The CM kernel only works on CM. They both have the same Voltage's and Frequencies. Come to my Site and go to the Kernels Page and get them NOW!

Gorilla Development Site

Release Version 2.0 Come and get it here
Change Log is now on my site.
Latest Kernel based off of HTC source.
Not in Update.zip format yet.
Will upload update.zip version shortly.

Version-Beta-1.02
Get it here!
-Now built from CM source (Let me know if it breaks your video playback)
-Changed frequency steps
-Tweaked Voltages for stability
-BFQ Scheduler
-Interactive Governor added
-O2 level compiler optimizations
-set to 806400 on boot
-Voltages at low end are lowered - high end raised (battery life should be good at around 1ghz or lower)
-Update.zip format

Thank zebrapositions for the Update.zips! Get Update.zip Here!

You can get my kernel in the TeamSilence Rom.

Gorilla-Kernel-betaV1.0
This kernel is Undervolted. The values are based off of Pershoot's Undervolt Values for the G2.
Max clock is 1.600ghz Max voltage is 1275.
This kernel boots at 806mhz.

Gorilla-kernel-betaV05
This is much closer to the original voltages. The lowered voltages were causing too many freezes. The phone needs the Juice apparently. You can ramp this kernel all the way to max freq. without freezing (I can anyway).
The highest Freq. 1.7ghz may not work for everyone. Since it boots at 1.113 if it freezes up you can just pull the battery and reboot and then top your clock out at 1.6ghz.

Gorilla-Kernel-betav002
CFQ instead of deadline.
EXT4 support
Conservative Governor.
Max clock speed 1.612Ghz.
Set to 1113600 on boot.
