*Sigh* Well I've hit a deadend w/ my rooted Droid 2

In all honesty, I don't think I've done enough research in regards to rooting and oc'ing my phone but I'm not really get a lot of information concering Droid 2's overclocking procedure.

So at the moment, I've rooted my phone through this method: Easier 1-2-3 Droid 2 Root for Windows / Linux / Mac - xda-developers Then I dl'ed SetCPU and was disappointed to see that I could not go beyond 1Ghz.

I did some research and found out that my kernel is limiting me, correct me if I'm wrong. So I assumed that the solution to this is installing a custom ROM. I found a guide, installed ROM manager, flashed, and clicked on Download ROM. Barely anything was available, Cyanogen nor Bugless too, and this is where I've stopped. Tips?

Oh and my apologies for posting in in the wrong area. I wasn't sure how to access the Droid 2 specific page till I started looking up at the top navigation bar.

As said many times on this forum:

The D2 is hampered by a locked bootloader. This means that even if the phone is rooted, one cannot swap out kernels or completely replace the OS with a custom ROM. And even if the bootloader is ever cracked, someone will have to take on the responsibility of maintaining a project.

Ah. I see. Well I just wanted to mention that I did in fact just bought a Droid 2 recently so although I've ran across a few post stating that the phone is still not entirely unlocked, I was not aware of just how applicable these posts were at this point of time.

But as seen, there are some ROMs available in the Droid 2 forums so what gives? So confused. I'm going to assume these available custom roms, as you state, are not a complete replacement of the OS. But as I've seen, certain kernels are able to allow oc'ing of the D2 so that would satisfy me for now - I'm just confused as to what to do at this point.

For now, I'll just hold off on the whole oc'ing portion till tomorrow evening. Thank you for your input.
