How did you do it?
You followed the whole instruction set?
I was thinking of just flashing the zip he has there.

Ive tried all this from start to finish three times, nothing works.

Instead of using adb, just copy the file over like you would anything else.

What do I put for cd FILE_PATH_TO_ADB_DIRECTORY_HERE part?

Where's your adb directory? For example, if it's in C:\adb\, that's what you use.

You have to flash update.zip twice in order to get true Zv9 SW version. Tried flashing it (update) then jcase_rootme.zip. Simply said, it only gives the build and script update. You have to use adb and copy straight from the first post in order to get root and true Zv9 SW version.
This works, I've done it twice on 2 different ov's. Speeds were noticeably better.

What about if your phone runs slower after root?

This post allowed me to get root back. It was a most joyous day. That in turn allowed flashing bobz's ics rom, the smoothest rom I've flashed to date.. So jcase, thanks.

These were my numbers on Zv5 right before I updated and rooted. Numbers don't lie. It pays to update and root to Zv9.

This one isn't wifi, it's 3G. You can't compare the two in terms of a baseband update. Unless there's new wireless drivers included in ZV9, which I doubt, it's not going to affect wifi speeds.

This space intentionally left blank.

 

[jAdOg@88]

The two screenshots above(EvdoA) simply define the difference in speeds in the basebands. The wifi one, I'm still working on the data. Do believe I've erased the past data of Zv4 and Zv5 due to a corrupt hard drive. , I'm going to find another OV/Zv4 to experiment on and compile the data.
