maemo.org - Talk - Overclock the N900?

Guys i got a problem :(
I need to flash the kernel through the maemo-flasher... So i downloaded the last deb package (kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb) from here:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../kernel-power/

I unpacked the deb with 7 zip ... and i've obtained the file zImage-2.6.28-maemo40.fiasco ... that should be the kernel ...
Then i flashed it with the maemo flasher with the command

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-2.6.28-maemo40.fiasco -f

and everything seems to be all right .. the flasher didn't give me any error message..
But , booting the phone, it appears only the white screen with nokia written T_T
Then the yellow led turns on for one second and the phone automatically shout down .. :(

What could be the problem?

Why did you do it like that and not via the app manager?

You can find the answer here :
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58633&page=11

In practice... i'm trying to create a backup of the whole system with backupmenu :)
This would allow me not to lose al lot of hours reinstalling all apps...
But, if before restoring the images of root and OPT, i flash with the fiasco image... then, after the restore, the titan kernel seems to have disappeared.. T_T

I thought that the kernel was in the root .. so restoring my old root image even the kernel was there... But the kernel isn't there .. (by the way .. where is the kernel??? >.< )

So, to solve the problem i would like to install the kernel by flasher because the package appears to be already installed in the system (because the kernel was there when i created the image ..)

I do not know if my English is good enough that I made you understand the problem :P

Re: Overclock the N900?

I get this error
/home/user # kernel-config show
This kernel version 2.6.28-omap1 is not supported
Please make sure that kernel-power is installed and running.
If you have just installed the kernel, you need to shutdown and boot to activate it.
To reinstall the power user kernel run:
'apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher'
Have uninstall and reinstalled with no luck
Tried versions 37 to 40
Have reflashed phone twice the annoying thing is it did work
a few weeks ago with version 37 until i updated to version 39
Can access phone by via winscp is there anyway to manualy
delete all trace of the kernel and start again.

Any help please

Thanks for all the information on this page, most usefull,

Running kernel 2.6.28 - 10

I have over clocked to 850 (using the 3 lines in x term) all works just fine and have added QB and the stock button to go back to 600 just in case

I would like to add a ideal button as well but not at 1000 but at 850

If i understand rightly I can do :

1. Launch xterminal
2. Sudo gainroot
3. kernel-config load lv
4. kernel-config limits 250 850
5. kernel-config save ideal_850

Then in snippet _ideal_1000 I just rename load ideal_1000 to load ideal_850 (ligne 27)

Is this all Ok before I try it ?

I may of missed something completely here as a noob to Linux, so please bare with me

many thanks

can anyone confirm if good or bad please

Re: Overclock the N900?

can anyone help me overclock?
it was working fine until i installed nitdroid-installer
perviously it worked fine with the manual install of nitdroid
but now nothing i try works
i removed nitdroid (and dont want it back!)
tried removing power settings and reinstalling it

i just cant overclock anymore, and have wasted at least 6 hours trying all the solutions in the nitdroid threads
(most of which have now been locked with links telling me to join another forum for help)
im not gonna be able to sleep until my phone is perfect again lol:D

at the moment if i type kernel-config load ideal
it says this kernel version is not supported, make sure its installed and running?
it is installed though, thats the strange bit

Re: Overclock the N900?

This is how I got it to work
1 remove power settings via app manager
2 go to the menu and click on deinstall kernel-power-flasher
3 reboot phone
4 open app manager disable extra-devel & extra testing
5 install power kernel (should be version 37)
6 reboot phone
7 install power settings
8 reboot phone
9 should now work

Like you I have spent hours trying to get this to work

If you are feeling brave open app manager & rein-able extra
& extra testing and update to the power kernel to version 40
then reboot
If it still works I would recommend following this guide and install
nitdroid again because it is easy & worth it!

Good luck

Re: Overclock the N900?

Ok i have had my device overclocked for a few weeks now, and i know that i cant apdate applications while the power kernel is installed. So i followed all the steps for uninstalling and have the stock Nokia one back now. But i still cant seem to get any updates through any app manager.

When will the kernel be able to overclock the cpu and also be able to get simple updates through app manager??
