Overclock your Motorola Charm



Disclaimer: I am not responsible of bricking/frying your phone!, use this at your own risk

Prerequisites:
● Phone should be rooted
● You have a copy of a "proper/valid" sbf file of your Motorola Charm unit in case anything goes wrong.
Ask people in the link provided for directions on how to obtain your proper sbf file:http://modmymobile.com/forums/633-mo...perthread.html

Method #1
Install my Charm Overclock App and use it like that of the Milestone Overclock App
[note: apk found just below this very post]

Method #2 (by ryukoz)
1. open /system/build.prop in text editor
2. find ro.product.model=MB502, change MB502 to MB511
3. use milestone overclock

Method #3
Things needed (some maybe optional):
● Your Motorola Charm phone
● PC
● USB Data Cable for your Phone/PC
● MicroSD Card Reader

Prerequisites:
● All pertaining drivers should be installed in your PC (i.e. Moto USB Drivers..., etc.)

The Steps:
1. From your PC, Download 'Milestone Overclock' apk from: http://code.google.com/p/milestone-o...downloads/list (I've used version 148)
2. Extract this Milestone Overclock apk to a clean folder and locate the file 'overclock_flipout_21.ko' in: ..res\raw\ directory
3. Copy the module overclock_flipout_21.ko into the root of your SDCard
4. Install the Milestone Overclock App to your phone (either thru Market or with the one you downloaded)
5. Install also SetCPU
6. From a terminal emulator on your phone or thru adb, run these commands (should be root user)
7. # su
8. # cd /sdcard
9. # grep omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table /proc/kallsyms
● you should see an output like: c004e498 T omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table
● take note of the red colored eight digit hex number

10. and then we load the Overclocking Module with the code below (replace the RED number with your actual address you found on your device):
11. # insmod overclock_flipout_21.ko omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table_addr=0xc004e498
12. run dmesg and see if you have something similar below:
● [ 9361.096099] overclock: found mpu_opps_addr at 0xc050c888

13. Open the Milestone Overclock app (the module should be loaded by default as we already loaded it manually)
14. Slide the slider to the far right and press the 'menu' button and choose 'settings'
15. In the 'Custom rate (KHz)', put in the value you like, say: '1000000' (this is 1GHz)
16. In the 'Custom vsel', put in the value you like say: '60'
17. Leave the other settings and press 'Ok'
18. Lastly, Press the 'Apply' button ^_^

Don't forget to set 'SetCPU' as well
