[Kernel MOD] Overclocking + 2.6.29.6 Patch

[Beach_Head]

I finally have a working compile: 2.6.29.6 Kernel + OC up to 748Mhz

Download here: Patched Kernel with OC Mod

Note: The files in this zip are only for use on phones using the official Moto 2.1 firmware.

Also, I suggest you install SetCPU before you apply the mod. Make sure you have the default speed of 528 max and 122 min set on boot.

Quick Instructions:

Open a terminal and or MS-DOS Prompt and issue the following commands...

1. adb remount
2. adb push boot.img /sdcard/
3. adb push dhd.ko /system/lib/
4. adb shell
5. cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd0
6. You will see this message: "write: No space left on device". Ignore it.
7. flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

If you don't understand any part of this, DO NOT continue. I will not be held responsible for any data loss. Use at your own risk...

do you think that maybe you could make it so we can overclock higher?

[Joe Coolcool]

Overclocking too much could be dangerous.

[bubb]

yes i know, that doesnt mean you have to though

not trying to sound like a noob but will it work with preclair 1.2?

[Beach_Head]

Yes, there is a version compiled specifically for Preclair.

You can find the development thread here: Backflip OC Kernel Development Thread

Its been a hot minute since someone has posted on this thread so I thought i would be a good idea to share my experience. BTW, everything I have learned about everything has come from reading forums (mostly attdroids and modmymobile).

Installed jrodd's recovery (amazing tool)
Installed jrodd preclair 1.3.1 and setup the phone (btw he still has :blur: on the phone)
Installed oc widget
Installed jrodd MT OC patch
After fiddling around with oc widget got up to 748MHz, ran smooth for a few minutes.
Used Gscript mod to boot into recovery. upgraded the partition from ext 2 > ext 3
upgraded partition from ext 3 > ext 4 then reboot
STUCK IN BOOT LOOP (green man logo keeps freezing then phone restarts)

I am thinking that the problem lay in OC widget. I had read on modmymobile that SetCPU had caused problems when it is set to activate on boot. I went through oc widget and made sure that there was no such setting enabled prior to my reboot. It is also possible that not doing a fresh reboot before fiddling around with the ext partitions could have fouled something up.

So, I went back to recovery, re-flashed the jrodd 1.3.1 image. Back to normal except for some odd reason it is not finding my att microcell (but it is a pos at best).[EDIT 1: Microcell fixed with reboot] As I wait for my google to sync I am contemplating doing all necessary mods to enable ext 4 and get apps2sd working.

[EDIT 1: I can confirm that it was not the ext upgrading that caused my issue as I have done them again and booted up fine. Must be something with oc widget or oc mod]

[EDIT 2: Got apps 2 sd working with no problems. just a mis understanding on how the program functioned. got setcpu and ran the oc mt patch and so far so good. I'm running a 748MHz. Ran a stress test 162701ms with no errors at 748.]
