I was playing it, and my watch was at least 850MHz, 1GHz maximum.

Poor Mu N900, I'm very sad

Well, according to mce.ini, if your led glows red, it's an "error". I don't know what kind, but i think it's some hardware failure.
So no, Titan didn't fry your device but you definitely did. As I wrote before, some people should stop messing with their device since they obviously don't know what they're doing.

Indeed

especially consider the fact that after PR 1.2 everything should be done again

There was something strange about these two "fried" reports. They seemed to be from recent visitors, and they went for extremes like moths to flames. At a minimum, they seemed to have a Death Instinct. Or maybe we are being gamed.

I pushed the limits of my n900 as well (except mine was too low of voltages) -- All I had to do to recover was remove the battery for a few minutes, then put my n900 in the freezer for 20 minutes (not too long to cause moisture to build up) , and I was able to get the device to load long enough to correct my under-volting -- kinda like the guys that run 5ghz on the old Pentium 4 chips -- get it cold enough, and it might come back.

Either way best of luck -- but really the chip is designed to run at 500mhz -- even the 600mhz is 'overclocking'.

Maybe someone will buy your n900 for parts -- is the screen is scratch free I would buy that.

yeah i know. I've been leaving my n900 clean of apps and tons of free roofts so that I wouldn't have to flash if pr 1.2 needs additional storage. Plus doing all these mod/tweaks seems time consuming and knowing that pr 1.2 could hit any moment now. What I'm waiting for is someone to find the best optimize kernel where battery life is well balance with overclocked cpu like at equilibrium haha.. hopefully

I've reflashed the EMMC too.

Just donne:

flasher-3.5.exe -F "MyImagefromNokia".bin -f

then

flasher-3.5.exe -F "MyVanilaImagefromNokia".bin.bin -f -R

I've donne it with no problems.
Is there any trick to give RW permissions on entire filesystem?
I dont remember if i've done that before..so strange this :S

I've reflashed again and...permissions denied (if i check permissions over ssh, yes, that folders\files on CPU\CPU0\.. are READ only ..i can modify one by one but..thats stupid and i didnt do that before :S

Someone to help ?!

I'm still very suspicious of these reports. Setting the minimum frequency to 850mhz has no effect if you're pegging the CPU anyway.

If you're playing cpu-intensive games/emulators and your max is set to 1ghz, your CPU will stay at 1ghz, regardless of your scaling_min_freq setting.

I didn't fry anything.
All my kernels in extras* are by default 250-600Mhz.
Overclocking is at your own risk.
If you had read the numerous warnings and asked for advice,
everybody would have told that setting the min. freq. to >500Mhz is totally crazy
and running 1GHz with high load definitely damages your device,
especially if you ignore early signs like excessive heat.
I guess not even Nokia would try such a stupid thing in their tests labs...

yes, please post some pictures.
