anyone with ideas?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Wow. Thread grew so much while I was asleep. lol

Just to report:
- I have been running mine at 900Mhz since 24 hours ago.
- Then have up the ante to 1Ghz since about 18 hours ago.
- 1000/480 to be exact. (cpu/dsp)

I've charged the phone till 90% full, since then:
- I've played SrNokSnes for about 20mins.
- I've played Angry Birds for about 15mins.
- I've watched about 1 hour of youtube videos straight.
- I've watched about 30mins of xvid avi file.
- I've browsed the web for about 2 hours over wifi.
- I've had it left connected to wifi and I slept for 7 hours. (idle)
- I've done a cold reboot about 4 times. (to time the reboots etc)

Now I have 15% battery left. Not bad imo. =P

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

When I type this it says:

Suitable USB device not found, waiting


I want to flash right on the device because i have Win7 64 bit witch is no the best working with the flasher. and in ubuntu i don't find where to type the line...
Must the N900 be connected via USB while flashing directly on device? would be very strange...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

@Hawaii

I saw that link but it does not have the 900MHz kernels. No need to be mean.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP THEN DON'T!

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher
reboot

Edit: add mp-fremantle-generic-pr to that package list to restore version information too

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

do you know if this restores the fimwae information in settings about?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Thank you for that. I'll add it to that kernel site and my kernel post.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

you can only do it in XP mode for win7 64bit

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

yes thats clear, thats why i try to do direct on device, but then this error comes, so why? again, I AM NOT USING A PC, the error comes directly in the n900 terminal

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

@hqh
yes, it runs with the original kernel. but productinfo ist not shown to...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

@moerderameise the flasher on n900 is the same flasher that runs under windows. it will never finde the usb device, becouse it is it self :)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

ok so when itself, how to flash directly on device? saw someone doing it, so i thought why not.

or how to flash in ubuntu? installed the 3.5 flasher but can't find him anywhere :D

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I have the same problem.

I have this message (Suitable USB device not found, waiting) if i run flasher on Seven 64, Xp Mode or directly from my n900.

On windows I tried
flasher-3.5 -k kernel -f -R
flasher-3.5.exe -k kernel -f -R

And on n900
flasher -k kernel -f -R

Always the same message ^^

EDIT : Finally, work fine in XP mode. the driver was corrupted.

Thx for all ^^

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Hey all!

Downloading the kernels is as easy as a few clicks away!!!

Go to http://www.farahfa.com/n900-custom-kernels/ to download the custom kernels!!!

Enjoy everyone!

Thanks to lehto for helping me out!

Also whenever there's a new update to those kernels they will be uploaded (by lehto) onto the same place.

Go ahead and check them out!

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Here is zip file for:
-stock
-600mhz
-700mhz
-750mhz
-800mhz
-900mhz
-930mhz-500dsp

ONLY USE THESE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU R DOING AND UNDERSTAND THE RISK!!

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

To save everyone who is trying to flash a image with /usr/bin/flasher on their device from banging their head against a wall, can someone who has the SDK or still has PR1.0 on their device upload /sbin/fiasco-flasher somewhere? That way people can use the supplied kernel images to flash directly on their N900s.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Adding Teemu's kernels on my page so now there are more choices of OC's..

Tutorial page coming by tomorrow..

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

On Device Flashing.

Download one of the kernels below and place it on root of the mass memory, otherwise known as MyDocs.

700mhz

750mhz

800mhz

825mhz

900mhz

Run X Term and become root, then type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImagexxx.fiasco

Replace the xxx with correct mhz number, e.g. if your flashing the 800mhz you need to type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImage800.fiasco

Remember X Term is case sensitive.

Once done please reboot. ;)

This worked for me running PR1.1

If you want to return to the stock kernel then open X Terminal and become root, then use the following command apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-flasher and reboot.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

are there different from the ones we are using now? or just renamed?

do the retain the firmware information?

do you have 900mhz?

cheers buddy

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

@biggzy

Don't remove programs or other things?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

i tried with the kernels from this thread and they didnt work for me on device, so yes bro they must be dif, not sure bout firmware info as mine went as i flashed with flasher first, will upload 900mhz now

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

For those who are still new, check my signature for the Overclocking Guide.
It'll give you some ideas about what it's about and hopefully answer most of your initial questions.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

any one willing to try and restore original kernel via apt-get to see if it restores information?

i'm currently tweaking and messing easy debian

How to revert back to non-overclocked factory stock kernel state:
1. Launch xterminal
2. sudo gainroot (assuming you have rootsh installed)
3. apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher
4. reboot

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

tried it bro and the stock kernel was flashed but info was still unknown

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

No it just flashes the new kernel

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

How would that even work? It would still be dissipating heat through the battery at a minimum and possibly the back cover as well.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

@zvogt
@Megaltariak
Thanks to you guys, now I'm relieved :) I'll just wait for a week-to see if any device explodes or something bad happens lol and then I will flash kernel =)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Thanks HQH ....

I tested and it worked fine.

Unfortunately, It does not restore the Missing info at "About Product" under [System] [Settings] .

i.e it still shows the following....

Nokia N900
<unknown>
version: <unknown>



Is there a way of restoring this info without a full reflash?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

LOL! dont take it to serious ;-) its just a joke :D ofcourse it wouldnt help dissipating heat:D

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I wonder what package does that (edit: mp-fremantle-generic-pr does)

http://www.puhelinvertailu.com/uutis...emaista_typpea

But it's already being quoted as a truth in blogs :)
(that one is in finnish)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Tried it now in the cell with fiasco kernel 900 MHz

All was good and the info in about screen remained alright!

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

hmmm i didnt notice anything wrong with 900mhz running two days now, just one small thing not even shure thats related, but the autorotate doesnt work anymore! not for phone, not for browser not for syphony! anybody with the same experiance?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

i tried to flash with xterm and command:

flasher -k "image" -f -R

no suitable usb. wait...

what i have to do?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Click link in my signature

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I have included all the files that I saw on this thread on my page... This way it's centralized and also this way whoever wants to do this (that's not from talk.maemo.org) will be warned of it's dangers.. And the tutorials are on there.. Just click on HOWTO.txt or Flash_on_device.txt

So this should cut down on all the "how to" posts if they go to this page: http://www.farahfa.com/n900-custom-kernels/

Link is also on my signature, just in case anyone needs it..

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I am on the 800mhz kernel at the moment and it is very good :)
However i am getting an urge to flash to the 900mhz kernel, but can someone tell me if it is worth it? Is there that much of a noticeable boost between 800mhz and 900mhz?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Just overclocked to 800 MHz and it is ok. It is noticeably faster. Conky shows me that idle goes down to 125 MHz so maybe using it at the higher clock speed will not drain the battery too much.

N900 at 1ghz after 4 hours of constant usage at 100%.. :(

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I don't know if this matters, but cpuinfo reports the same specs for the chip in the n900 as the 3530 in the beagleboard, which is used in the Touchbook as well:

http://www.metoolabs.com/index.php?v...1844=fdtnphqgi

The relevent part:

root@beagleboard:~# more /proc/cpuinfo
Processor****** : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
BogoMIPS******* : 496.77
Features******* : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant**** : 0x1
CPU part******* : 0xc08
CPU revision*** : 3

So there might be some headroom in the chip afterall, assuming the cooling is as good as the Touchbook.
