how do I overclock my phone

[nikhil4186]

I have firmware 2.2 v10b
I have some q questions like
can I un root my phone with z4root?
what is temporary root option? how long does it take to root? how much phone memory does it need?
I don't want to install custom rom, so can I still over clock?
what tools do I need for overclock? set cpu is not free
I only want to overclock so as to be able to watch videos at full/regular speed.
till what frequency does p500 remain stable?

With temporary root your phone is rooted until you restart the phone. This take a few minutes. 20-30mb of phone memory needed
You can unroot.
To overclock you must flash an overclockable kernel, check the development topics.
Setcpu is free for xda users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
My maximum is 787mhz. In this fq run stable.

Yes you can root with z4 root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 and i also suggest you install a custom recovery and ROM here http://tablet-crunch.blogspot.com/2011/01/lg-optimus-t-rooting-recovery-rom.html I am overclocked using Setcpu at 806mhz on megatron ROM it is a safe way to root and put in custom ROM i dont know about your phone but even rooted with setcpu it wouldnt overclock past 600 the best kernal to use is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941 its very fast and fixes the touch screen bug

I read divx video does not work on custom rom. overclocking is useless for me if video won't play.
is it necessary to install custom rom to use set cpu for overclocking? can't I do it on the default rooted firmware?

I'm using stock 2.2 and can overclock with the setcpu app after flashing the Mik_os kernel. This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247 has links to a couple kernels that would work. It's also a great reference thread.
