Hack to speed up 3G

[nerdslogic]

and did I read right that this is NOT device specific? Meaning I could run this on my wife's D1 or buddies DX?

now I didn't have this hang that is being discussed so I am wondering if this is something ROM related. I am running odexed rooted GB leak....what are you guys running?

Liberty 2.0.1

Liberated Droid 2 Epic Blue

Yea mine also hung so I went to take a dump and when I came back it booted.

I know the program says it's for d2, but it's worth a try i guess. The one thing I noticed is that I had to Redownload DroidForums for some reason and when I go to edit a post now it won't let me. This only happened after I ran this program. Correlation? Not sure

In the instructions it stated that it was built for the D2 and to use it on other devices at your own risk. And since it includes a root and unroot exploit too I would caution against it.

My droid forums app works fine.

 

[nerdslogic]

yeah I just thought about that too.....I am going to not take the risk. Better safe then bricked right?

Well its nice to have a functional easy to use hack for the D2. One more check mark for my d2's awesomeness. Thanks to OP for the Hack.

 

[nerdslogic]

yeah no kidding....+1 on the thanks to the OP.

Just dont run the root exploits and you will be fine, then again, the root method is the same for the D2 and D2G and I assume the DX, so it shouldnt hurt even if you did. Regardless when you run the app it gives you the option to just get uncapped.

If it was going to brick your phone there would be reports by now.


As for getting un-throttled, I saw a negative impact on my speedtest results. Overall speed is the same but in terms of steady speed, it actually decreased significantly. Maybe I will try the hack again.

EDIT: I ran one more speedtest and now I am seeing a download increase of about 200kbps. This is still over 1 whole Mbps slower then ATT with a weak 700Mhz(when OCed) out of date CPU.

What I am curious about is....is there a back out for this? Like what if you are experiencing issues....how to do you go back?

And I was referring to bricking my wife's D1

I am unsure atm. If you would do me a favor and search the internal storage(all of it) for a file or folder called classout. I suspect this is a long shoot, but I see there are 4 bat files in the zip. ClassoutAndUnthrottle.bat, delclassout.bat, doroot.bat and dounroot.bat. The exe gives you 4 options. Unthrottle, root, root and unthrottle, and unroot. So my best guess is that delclassout.bat is for the unthrottle hack. The contents of the bat simply says del classout. So that is all I can come up with. If by chance you can find "classout" I would say just back it up and your good to go.
