Rooted 2.1 Milestone- SetCPU will not go over 550

[JoshSkillz]

Hey all, just rooted and updated my UK milestone using the threads here....worked like a charm! <3

just got into playing with all the new 2.1 features, and decided i would like to overclock my milestone.

i have installed setcpu however after allowing it root (it force closed after that) and selecting detect automatically i can not set the clock over 550

i have tried reinstalling a few times

any ideas?

Have you installed a kernal that has overclocking such as Adamz 1000MHz, ChecvyNo1 1Ghz etc?

[JoshSkillz]

i dont think so....does that effect the 2.1 image i put on? or can i install that over the top...
or is this still not possible?

I'm not sure if the process is the same for the milestone as it is for the sholes, anyone know?

Folks, the Milestone has a locked down kernel. Any kernel tampering will render him unbootable.

Whoa! Sorry. I did not even catch the fact he is on Milestone.

okay thanks guys. until yesterday i was under the impression i could not root, or load custom images onto my milestone. i thought overclocking may have been possible now that rooting and loading custom images onto it is

dam... haha

Hi all,

It's true that the kernel/firmware of the Milestone is locked, however I developed a solution that allows overclocking by changing key structures directly in the kernel memory in runtime. All you need is a rooted phone; no flashing involved. For now this works only (afaik) for the 2.1 Central European firmware but testers are most welcome, it's a matter of finding the correct address. I'm sure it's doable in other Milestone firmwares (the principle is sound even for other phones). For more information and downloads please see the project site:
