N00b friendly overclocking guide.

Lets get started:

1. Download the file HERE

2. Unzip the "N00B Friendly Overclocking Slim Rom 4.1.2.zip"

3. Put your phone into Fastboot.
-Power down your phone, then hold the Power & Volume Down buttons for approximately 10 seconds.

4. Plug your phone into your computer.

5. Run the appropriate file for your needs.

*They are named for the result they produce:
-- RUN ME to install OC Kernel.bat
-- RUN ME to restore Stock Kernel.bat

**If you would like to see what these files are doing, you can Right Click, and select Edit.**

**After the first boot with the overclock kernel, I suggest booting into recovery mode and wiping dalvik and cache partitions; reboot and enjoy. **

Linux/Mac users:

-- To install Overclock Kernel:
fastboot flash boot oc_kernel_install.img

-- To restore stock Kernel:
fastboot flash boot Stock_kernel_restore.img

How do I back up my 3G because the link that's on here to do that is broken. I've googled it and can't find anything really either. :thinking:

ZeRoseDev · Dec 19, 2013

Here are the instructions you need.

Okay I am really impressed with slim bean. It works perfectly on my phone except for the fact I cant get 3G. I backed up my 3g and Imei like instructed reinstalled Irom5.apk and ran it and restored my Imei. Still no 3G.

I am useing T-Mobile. So I checked to see what networks were avaible in settings and it only recognized 2g ATT and 2g T-mobile. I am in the city and have used 3g from both networks and had really good service. Is there some setting or something I am over looking?

Lastly if I go back to Stock do I still need to install the gingerbread baseband or is that part of the backup image I saved in Titanium Backup.

I am somewhat of a noobie here so bear with the dumb questions.

ZeRoseDev · Dec 23, 2013

Hey Mrniight34;

If you return to stock, or decide to try CyanogenMod 7.2 (both are Gingerbread) you will have to flash the Gingerbread baseband again. You will know if you forgot very quickly, as you will not be able to make calls or send any texts.

As for the 3G, sometimes people have to enter the APN information manually. The first post, in the link below, is the AT&T information, and a few posts down you will find the information for T-Mobile.

http://androidforums.com/fusion-2-all-things-root/703317-t-apn-settings-huawei-fusion-2-a.html

You will find the APN settings close to where you checked what networks are available. I don't have the phone anymore, so I don't remember exactly what the setting is called.

Good luck!

Mrniight34 · Dec 23, 2013

Thanks ZeRose,

I figured out what it was. I had just updated the super user app and I noticed that when I restored my imei it was giving me a small error box that first said failed to gain superuser access and then it would say file updated. I was confused because I keep seeing the file updated box and thought it was working right. I'm nearsighted and I had to get my spectacles out. - lol.

Since the superuser update the app is not giving me a box that allows me to grant anything access? I had to allow everything access before I could run IRom5 and get things correct. Have I goofed up a setting or something in the supersuer app?

I now have 3g access but it doesn't seem like it connects as well as it use to I only get one bar and unless I am outside it drops back to edge constantly. I am really close to a T-Mobile store and I know they have really good coverage in this area. I may try another ROM and see if there's a difference, Any suggestions?

ZeRoseDev · Dec 23, 2013

Hey again;

That is kind of strange you were having issues with Superuser. I would suggest a few things before making the jump to a new ROM. This one, in my opinion, was the best for this phone.

First, I would go into the superuser app and see if you've denied any app permission that needs it. Then I would reboot into recovery mode and wipe the Dalvik Cache and the Cache partition. This will not delete any of your information, just cleans up a bit; it is similar to deleting the temporary files on your PC. Don't do Factory Reset, that will delete your info.

After the reboot (which will take longer than usual, maybe two minutes, depending on how many apps you have on there)

Then check if your back to good.

If not, message me, and I will try to get back to you asap.

Mrniight34 · Dec 23, 2013

I changed some settings and superuser is now asking me before it allows any program that needs root access. That was totally my goof. Its back to normal

I have wiped the dalvik and the cache and rebooted.

It still will only occasionally go to 3G and seems stuck on edge for the most part and occasionally even loses that.

ZeRoseDev · Dec 23, 2013

That is kind of strange; I've not heard of that before.

Maybe try restoring your 3G backup once more. It cant hurt anything.

Mrniight34 · Dec 23, 2013

I've restored the backup soo many times. I think I will try another Rom just to see if it makes a difference. Any suggestions?

On another subject. One of your posts mentioned unlocking your fusion 2 by Pugetsoundelectronics.com I took them up on your recommendation and got my phone unlocked. Thank you Zerose. It was well worth the 19.99.

saintii · Dec 23, 2013

I've been running this rom for a long time now and just noticed a couple of things. I could not find where to clear the cache at for starters. The other things is I'm trying to play music to a Bluetooth speaker and it won't do it. My wife's phone does running gingerbread but I can't so I know it's not the speaker. Anybody have any ideas on either?

ZeRoseDev · Dec 23, 2013

Sorry for the late reply, I had to go run some errands.

Hey Saintii;

I never played the music through the Bluetooth, so I'm not sure what advice to give you to fix it, or even what direction to point you in.

Mrniight34,

Another of the ROMs I really liked was TESLA V1, it was pretty feature packed. I always had lag issues when I used any of the ROMs that were 4.2.2 and above. That is just my experience though.

William Adams ii · Feb 14, 2014

Can I get the rom files download on dropbox or Gmail please

William Adams ii · Feb 14, 2014

I'm at school and the sites blocked please send link on dropbpx or gmail
