[Q] How to install an OC kernel??

---

Im trying to install an OC kernel on my NC running CM7.... but its not working. I install it and everything goes correctly, but i cannot surpass the 925 OC on CM7, even though it can go up to 1000ghz and 1100ghz.

Im using update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-042411.zip from dalingrins..

The "official" OC kernel thread is here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451


Not sure what to do or how the OC kernels work. He says to use CM7 settings to overclock, but the highest it goes up to is 925, which seems to be stock for that. Let me know if you can helppppp!

Thanks, Bobby

Are you installing the correct kernel for your install? EMMC vs. SD?
Are you installing the kernel itself & not the MD5 file on the kernel page?
What versions of recovery and CM7 are you using?

I installed the SD kernel, and it installed fine....but nothing new showed up.
I installed the EMMC kernel, which was a bad idea...and just didnt load up CM7.

I installed the kernel itself, and put it on the root of the SD card, flashed it, cleared the cache and dalvic, but it still says i have the stock kernel that came with CM7

I have CM7.0.2-encore...im using an 8Gb class 6 SD card.

I also tried kernel manager from the market...and tried installing the kernel that way but it literally reset my device to the stock 1.2 update with no CM7....it was wierd, so wont be doing that ever again. Im restoring everything now so ill be back to where i started. Its OC at 925 now, but cant go up any higher which means im not installing the kernel correctly....ughhhh

Ok. If you were previously running a recent nightly build you should have also wiped system & data. Also check your version of recovery. Current version of Clockwork Recovery is 3.0.2.8....What version are you using? I had tons of problems with kernels over the weekend using and older version of recovery that I was too lazy to update. I updated it and my troubles went away.

Im using CWM version 3.0.0.5....so im guessing that is outdated.....do you know where i can find the link to download the latest version of it??? thanks sooo much. Once i get it ill try to reinstall the zip of the kernel i want and see if it works

That you'll have to search for my friend. My install is to EMMC not SD and I've never really followed those processes. When you find it though, be sure to add it to your thread so that others may find the info as well.

Might be useful?


Also, can't you just download and flash latest version using Rom Manager?

I have CM7 7.0.2 installled to emmc, but everytime I try installing overclocking update I just get a blank screen after I reboot. Waited five min and nothing happened. This has happened twice so far. I have a 3.0.2.8 CWM SD and am able to rollback my nandroid after this happens. Not sure I'm doing wrong. I tried install 4/4 emmc update, do I need to install 4/24? Or is there another issue with my install? Do I need to install CWM to recovery? Tried wiping cache and dalvik cache as well before installing. Thanks a lot.

You have a slightly different problem. Is it a blank screen, or do you have an under score "_" in the top right hand corner?

Oops, Meant to say do i need to install CWM to emmc?
