optimus v kernel install

[nat3voltag3]

ok so i rooted my phone the other day pretty much just so i could overclock it. now i guess i need a kernel. i dont want to change the rom in case i have to send it back for some reason (i used to get new phones from virgin mobile all the time even though they had water damage so the techs who look at them must not be very smart lol) so i just want to replace the kernel to over clock....... how do i do it ? do i have to use a pc or can i just do it through the terminal em. on the phone? heeeelp

You might have to install a custom recovery before you are able to install a custom kernel. If you are going to do that, then you might as well get the full benefit and install a custom rom ><

The first thing that you need to do is download a Custom Recovery and follow the directions at http://forum.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/58654-custom-recovery-optimus-v.html

Once you have the custom recovery, pick one of these (I personally use v10), put it on your SD card, and flash it through the recovery menu.

Did you successfully flash the custom recovery or is that what you are questioning?

i was pretty much asking where the root of your sd card was... oh and can i do this via terminal emulator

Yes, you can do this via the terminal emulator.
When you plug the SD card into the computer (or the phone into the computer), it is just the first directory of the drive that appears.

Honestly, it is something that you don't have to really worry about. I don't really have a great idea of what it is but I do know that if you go to Settings>About Phone>Baseband, that is what it changes.
You shouldn't ever need to flash one anyway.
