some guys seem to watch to much Jackass and try it at home...

These sort of posts are not very interesting. I wonder if we will ever get a credible, coherent post describing an N900 damaged by overclocking. I will bet on NO.

You fried your N900. Not titan. Running at 850mhz minimum is just crazy.

Well, take the battery out, leave it for a bit, put it back in, hold "u" on the keyboard and turn it on.
If it still doesn't do anything, it sounds like your N900 may really be dead at a hardware level.

I just came in to tell you that i have now ran the lehto 125-900 kernel for a week while playing vgba emulators and other heavy applications hour on end without a single problem.

Everything is faster and no problems... doesn't heat any more than earlier either and battery life seems almost better, but i haven't actually measured that in any concrete way.

Just wanted to tell you that this was purely positive in my case.

Good luck to you all and don't run the range with 850mhz minimum

I followed his advice, and waited for the battery Cool, even more so he does not care Reloads.

also can not plug it in Flash Mode.

Tomorrow I'll open it to see if it caused any physical damage, and post some photos.

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


Poor Mu N900, I'm very sad
Put it in the fridge for a while with battery. If nothing happens... Tough luck! I didnt post all those warnings for fun when all this started.

Been running 1150mhz myself for many days now and nothing wierd to report. Though I have it behind a switch so it wont use 1150mhz mode for example when the sun can heat it etc.

My phone is not booting up with my kernel but runs fine when its booted.
How much Mhz is the phone using when booting up ? Max ?

The one thats set in the /etc/pmconfig in the scaling_max_freq.

I run titan's 25er kernel since 3 days now (surfing, checking eMails, listen to music) with a 125-900 range.
Everythings works fine (also I think DNS resolution is sometimes slower) for me so far...
