Setcpu not letting me overclock? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my TB via the one click method offered by Captiankrtek and flashed Das Bamf 1.3.1. Then downloaded setcpu, autodetected speeds, tried disabling perflock (which it says was not needed) and then tried overclocking past 1024MHz, but alas, that is my highest setting. So I though maybe I need to flash the kernel. Went to Rom Manager and have tried every kernel under Mr. Bobrowitz's section. In the software information it clearly states the custom kernels but setCPU is still sticking to 1024. I tried uninstalling setCPU and reinstalling but nothing is working. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Unless you have a overclock kernal you won't be able to overclock. Sounds to me you have a stock kernal.

I am running the kernel that is included in the Das BAMF rom. setCPU shows the smartass setting and everything, but 1024 is as high as I can go

You do not have an overclocking kernel. You cannot overclock in this one. That is the problem. Look in development for an OC kernel.

I am a borderline retard I guess. I thought it came with his 1.2 kernel. Also, I tried to flash the 1.9 kernel via CWR last night but I see that link is gone today so maybe that was broken when I tried last night. Anywhootles, I just flashed the 1.2 Kernel by Adrynalyne and it works perfectly. Thanks for not bashing me for my stupidity.

great speeds

Bamf 1.3.1 does include his 1.2ghz oc kernel, "--New kernel: 1.2ghz, smartass (heavily tweaked this time) as default governor, GPU+ patch."

O/Cing question.

I have a dumb question, and didn't seem to get a direct answer. I just recently started flashing new roms and using odin, but was curious about O/Cing. With the Fusion rom already flashed, do I just flash the Voodoo kernel or do I reflash the stock firmware and THEN flash the kernel followed by the rom? Or is there something I should or should not do in there, lol. Any input is appreciated, as I am relatively new to all this.

If your new to all this don't use voodoo just yet unless your willing to deal with a brick as it's very easy to brick with voodoo

Ok, so I read up and flashed the Project Core v2 kernel last night on the 1.2 Fusion rom and it ran perfectly and was super quick at 1200/200 on setcpu. Problem is today after rebooting, it will completely freeze every once in a while while doing something media-wise, such as watching youtube videos or playing Hyper Jump. I know I didn't flash the kernel or rom wrong, so is there something I am missing? I also have the OCLF installed, if that matters.
Tonight I am going to reflash them both to see if it works, but would like to see if there is something I can do before I get off work.

you can just flash the voodoo kernel over fusion,but not all vibrants are capable of using voodoo. i.e. the vibrants with the larger nand chip does not support voodoo. if you do flash the voodoo kernel and your phone does not support, everything will still work just fine,but voodoo will not be enabled.
as for OCing..not all vibrants are capable of OC. it may run smooth at first,but some vibrants will start freezing up or slowing down. i found dragons kernel to work amazing or core 1.0ghz kernel

Alrighty, I may just drop the OC then. I just wasn't sure if it was me or not.

[Q] How to overclock stock ROM? SetCPU shows max as 600

I recently rooted my O1 using Ginger break. It rooted successfully. Now when I installed SetCPU (which I downloaded frm xda), it shows the maximum freq as 600MHz. I am on stock ROM and don't plan to change it before seeing the official Gingerbread release. I just want to know if it is possible to overclock on the stock ROM using SetCPU or any other tool.

Install a custom recovery and flash a custom kernel (such as franco). Do not ask how, covered in multiple places.
AFAIK the stock rom doesn't allow for overclocking.

As already said above in my post (and also in my signature), overclocking is a matter of kernel and not of ROM.

Change what setting? The kernal will come with its default settings when you flash it
ok, i just was confused, since i have seen alot of comments about changing their voltage setting to over clock and under clock. i wasnt sure if they had a default automatically. kernels are the one thing that confuses me.
Kernels will have default voltage settings and (usually) are not over, or under-clocked by default. If you want to change those values you'll need an app like voltage control.
thanks i'll look into it. would it be best to read through the posts under the SC3 Rom to see what would be a good voltage setting to run with?

I have been running SC3 milestone2 (AWESOME btw) for a while as my daily until the bugs get worked out on ICS. I use Leankernel however because my phone had display (color and lines) with KGB. LK comes overclocked at 1.2ghz. It is fixed, whereas KGB can be overclocked more (up to 1.7 but you most likely wont get past 1.3 or 1.4 and be stable).
If you want to flash kernels an wasy way to do it is with SGS Kernel Flasher (free in the market). It will back up you current kernel so it makes trying different kernels easy.

Problems after ELITE OC

i have wet dream 1.4.4 and i flashed with elite 1.4ghz over the current 1.45ghz now the phone freezes alot, reboot loops.. how can i revert that ?
Flash fuax123s 1.45 OC unified kearnel easily be found in the ATRIX 4g development page

thanks does this mean its not compatible or i cant go higher or what?
There are 1.6GHz overclocks out there right now so it isn't an issue of speed, but it may have just been a bad flash or there could be something else with the build you are using and the kernel's problems are un-related.
I wouldn't worry, but just flash a new kernel and give it a go. You can always go back.

The problem is that is wasn't compatible WD is a AT&T build so use faux123 kernels and the elite that you were flashing is for cm7 builds this is a problem btwn AT&T and international for example I own international and to use old WD I had to either flash a unified kernel or use the "Ramfix" b4 it would run on mine but feel free to play around with it maybe try using the elite with the "Ramfix" let me know if that works just keep a backup of the working kernel so you can always go back and you'll be fine gl

Many phones just can't handle that much of an OC. Read the Faux or Clemsyn kernel threads and you will see this. Very few people have been able to run the higher OC kernels because like a PC, all hardware is not the same. If you experience boot loops, freezes, etc., you need to flash a lower clocked kernel.
And yes, make sure you flash one which is compatible.

Overclock stock cm7 kernel

What does it take to overclock the normal cm7 kernel? The newest nightly kernel is by far the best kernel i have used and it overclocked would make it perfect. Any help is appreciated.
You can't overclock those kernels. Only goes up to 1 ghz. You need fauxs kernels to overclock past 1 ghz.

they were asking how to overclock... an answer saying 'you can't overclock' and then telling them how to overclock might be a little confusing.
@pfoxdizzle download the 1.3 kernel and place it in your internal as you did for CM7 and then install zip and reboot. You should then be overclocked. I have looked around and this is the only link I can find for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156040
You might also find it helpful to install a CPU app (free) so you can adjust overclock. Hope this helps.

I believe I said you can't overclock those kernels (stock kernel because that's what he wanted to OC) And then told him to use fauxs kernel. You just repeated what I said, but if it makes you sleep at night, fine.
