Data throttle hack removal - Motorola Droid X2

I'm like you., always disappointed with out speeds. I'm fairly broke right now so I find myself USB tethering my Droid to the computer so my daughter can do here homework.and tether the PC to a wifi router for the upstairs Wii for her and the sons xbox.every month I'm around 4GB of data.I'm a hacker from way back..prob b4 I. But I found a throttle remover that truly worked for.
1: using file explore out root explore go to data ~ system ~ throttle.. back the two files to your sd card,,, then delete en..wonderful 3g bliss..check it on your next startup to make sure its still gone..using speedtest for the post year my best speeds were around 300~400Kb that's all..but I know after running ten times with 2 test were around the same.but the other eight times I averaged at 1245. It'll get me through until the revolution comes back around again and we get rid of our fast ass politicians and take back control.so people can work again..

Thats a pretty old mod. It is hit or Miss with whether it works for ya or not.
Powerboost mod 2.2 has a universal unthrottle mod that edits a database and has been seeming to help keep my speeds more constant
The.only thing u can use.powerboost mod at this point is unthrottle. All the other mods must be flash but we (Droid x2) are not supported yet for those mods.
I'm glad that mod seems to be working for ya tho

did you type su and hit enter first?
also
u do not put a "/" in front of sysrw
just type su (press enter)
sysrw (press enter)
powerboost (press enter)
make sure that when u did the "extract all" on the pb2.2.zip that it went to /sdcard/extracted
if it went anywhere else it won't work right
and u ran the setup.sh as root?

This actually seems to have slowed down my 3G speed. I did 3 speedtests before and after, this is my average:
Before: 1299kbps
After: 998kbps

speed test app is unreliable
how have ur browsing speeds been?
also
many factors go into speed.
if a bunch of people just woke up in your area and started using their 3g then your speeds will drop due to high traffic.
difference is if you were getting throttled before and the tower got busy your speeds would be down even lower than they are now

When you extract it your files probably went to speed software folder. You need to move this contents to SD/extracted. Then it will work.I had the same issue at first.

Found the problem.. CDMA 3g post is a bad download. Found this from RootzWiki pb2. 2 with updated link as of 12-8.... This would have made my head not spin, if dragons link were Updated on xda.. http://minus.com/mpqnmtqtn#1
Goodluck this actually works now

Android Unthrottle
I just worked through this on my Droid X. If you only want the unthrottle hack, just run the update.sh script. You don't need to go through the complete install by running setup.sh and then running the powerboost script.
And if you don't want to download the whole zip, here is the update.sh script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
####TEST
###new Unthrottle Method
###Now UNIVERSAL
DATABASE=/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
value=0
for line in $(sqlite3 $DATABASE "SELECT * FROM secure" | busybox grep throttle); do
id=`echo $line | busybox cut -d "|" -f1`
name=`echo $line | busybox cut -d "|" -f2`
sqlite3 $DATABASE "replace into "secure" values(${id},'${name}','${value}')";
echo "Set ${name} to ${value}"
done
