CREDIT::

Thanks to ALL the help I have received from the awesome dev's that this community has:
(I'm sure I have missed someone so let me know)
JRummy16 for all his help on script work
Droid Th3ory for believing in PB and baking it into Th3ory Pakx.
RazorLoves
DXC for the door that led me to find the exploit
Koush for the OG of recovery ClockworkMod


Testers YOU are the reason that this MOD develops so quickly and I am able to keep this updated. Without your eagerness to find the bugs to make this stable it would be months between updates instead of whatever it is now.

Alright!! Downloading now, might wait to use it, not ready to reflash Rom, thanks BMc
Sounds good. When I say reflash rom, I mean not neccessary to wipe data,cache, or dalvik. Just reflash the zip

Do I reflash the PB2.2 zip or do I extract it first then go into recovery. Also, when I tried to install the pb2.2 zip it aborted it. I'm running MIUI 1.11.9 on DX
Dont flash pb2.2.zip

you extract it
I was really hoping to have this on the X2


Is there anything I can do to use it?
I was really hoping to use this for its unthrottle. Im on eclipse 1.3 and have busybox 1.19gitadrynaline.

Please let me know if there is a way I can use it. I just would need to know where to push what files and what permission is needed on them.

Thanks! And if not I hope to see it soon for the X2. Ill keep waiting patiently
was just hoping I may be able to get in on this. It sounds AWESOME. I've been following this mod for a long time now

I just tried to install this on my x. I am on miui 1.10.28. After the initial reboot, I type su in terminal, and then when I type sysrw, At the # prompt, i get an error "sysrw: not found". Any ideas why it is not working?

try new link
two thing I found, it appears that you need to enter "su" in step 2 and after running step 2 I'm still getting errors where directories are not being found as well as the same type of errors on step 3 as I previously PM'd about after doing a fresh install on RC1. I'm going to restore my backup and try again in the morning with a fresh wipe/reinstall.
Glad to see you liked the Icon I made enough to use it twice XD

I'll be runnin this new set up ASAP

Its amazing mynd thanks
What am I not getting on reflash? I extracted and used script manager then after reboot got into terminal but it came up as pb 2.1 I'm not understanding how to rid 2.1
Confused? Please elaborate. lol
I'm unable to get the right busybox. I follow the prompt that takes me to jrummys app. I download it from the market. Run it. Install 1.19. Rerun powerboost, and it prompts me to get it again.

HELP!

I already have pb 2.1 installed I rwflashed 1.11.9 without a wipe. Extracted pb 2.2 and opened with script manager all went well then it rebooted. Used terminal su..sysrw..powerboost it was still pb2.1 not 2.2. I am trying to get rid of 2.1 so I can use 2.2
Odd...Try restoring to stock in powerboost then reflashing. then rerun setup.sh and continue
