those apps make rooting simple. if you have a Superuser app, youre rooted.

min shouldnt equal max

This could be an issue that occurs if you don't wipe and then flash. Also, you could have a profile in SetCPU that restrains it from going any higher with the current conditions met.

Go into settings and select Device and then select Automatic Device Detection.

Can you use setcpu to improve battery life without being rooted?

No. To underclock the cpu you need superuser access. You need to be rooted go gain superuser access.

No, SuperUser means that you have complete control over your phone. Essentially giving you access to do whatever you want to it. This is only capable of being done after your root the phone.

SetCPU is only usable if you're rooted.

You can root and unroot with z4root to try it out. It's easy and uninvolved, can be removed and leaves no permanent marks. You will only be able to underclock setcpu without an oc program installed or a rom with an oc script. Try jrummy for the .99 for a day. The only thing missing is the profiles at this time.
