Y U NO Work? FAQ

Y U NO WORK! Is often said by people who are angry your phone isn't working with some kernels, I am going to list some of the most asked questions new users have sent me regarding this subject:

Q: My phone won't boot, instead it is stuck at the green and white "HTC" screen.

A: All I can say my friend is try the other kernels available on the nameless thread there are currently two of which are 768mhz and 806mhz if you have tried both you unfortunately have a phone what doesn't like extra heat.

This thread is a home to share the following things,as mentioned above, and try to resolve potential issues regarding overclocking these include:

Phone CPU temputures

What kernels work, which ones don't

The highest temputures you have, compared to other who cannot overclock

Awsome work , thankyou. I'll sort out my temps etc later tonight as I have to go out now . and I'll hit you up with some much deserved thanks . For some reason my counter says I've used 8 already and I've not used it yet:eek:
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Thanks Richard :D. I'm trying my best to resolve issues other members are having. I'm soon going to make another thread to help out with issues on roms, cache errors etc... So look out for that one. :)

Hopefully this thread can be stickied, so all new and existing members can see it without creating new threads with the same questions, as it is a waste of space.
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
okay, here I go: me and my phone live in London, today the weather turned to nice lol.

767 oc kernel - performance/deadline

IDLE: @767mhz-767mhz is around 27-31 degrees.

AFTER GAMING, ANTUTU: @767mhz-767mhz is around 35 degrees

And, strangely since I'm using either V6 SuperCharger (it has a kernel panic tweak) or the performance/deadline combo, the phone did not reboot on 767, previously I had to downclock to 722 to make it stable, because it rebooted under heavy usage like gaming.

I will try different combos and report back if it stayed stable.

But I was wondering if the issue with the 806mhz kernel was due to heat, the phone would still boot up, isn't it?

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Hmm that might not be strictly true, a CPU can get hot after first boot up very quickly just like any Computer, I have some other ideas why some peoples phones don't boot too, i'll post them in my thread and update it.
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
I use 722mhz max - 320mhz min lagfree-deadline .

None of the 800mhz OC kernel works for me.Doesnt even get to boot animation :(

Temps:

Idle : 28-30 'C

Charging : 34-35 'C

Charging + Playing a heavy game like shadowgun : 40-41 'C

I really dont think its due to high temperature (but one can never be sure about these things) as even at 41 'C the phone doesnt actually reboot.It only reboots on setting a higher OC like 767mhz
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Interesting, nikhil16242 I will try to get shadow gun and use the same clock speed as you and compare my temps to yours, see if there is a difference between them.

I have another idea what it could be, and i think it is related to what frequencies each phone supports maybe einstein.frat could try something slightly under 806mhz and see if it works. But i think it is how to frequencies are counted on the kernel, maybe if einstein.frat can change some of the values, to lower variables it may work I need to look this up any input about how kernels work would be helpful. :)
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
have any of you guys tried to flash the 806mhz kernel WITHOUT wiping the cache through fastboot?
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

Yes :(.

Tried all possible combinations like flashing the rom cleanly and flashing kernel,flashing kernel with and w/o wiping cache .
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Did the first overclock kernel work for you, by zeroprobe?
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

Yeah, oc kernel by zerophobe did boot for me, but I think it used "fake" overclocking since benchmark scores where more or less the same as stock kernel :(.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Well i think figures should be changed inside the kernel, I don't know what maybe some of us can experiment with unstable kernels. It is two things heat, or how the kernel is coded, which ever way we need to find out, hopefully overtime we will. :)
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Whooa check this out. I never had that before. I was using 767mhz performance/sio combo.

Although right after it was 4159, the 2nd after 4346 and the 3rd 4293, which makes me think Antutu is not a reliable benchmark tool at all, but still a good ratio overall.

And battery life seems to be really good, especially compared to the previous 800mhz kernel.
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
also maybe it's a good idea to compare our CPU's? here's mine.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
yay my post was stickied :D

As far as benchmarks are concerned if you get over 4000 you know your doing decent on the performance scale. There is about 150-200 pts difference for every benchmark, and as you said it's not very accurate. :/

One one benchmark I had 4498 before and been unable to get that again, so its all about luck on these scores I think lol.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

This is my CPU specs sheet:
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

These are the things what I have found to be different; bogomips now I don't know what they are, but I'm guessing it is the performance of our CPUS on the figures there are slight differences which are:

Mine: 535.05

Neoyoli's: 508.94

Can some other members post this information screen to see how it compares to ours?

What is the best Kernel of the above?

I hope not too much trouble, greetings :)
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

@jaizu, it us the overclock kernel from the nameless Rom thread and there are two to choose from, 767mhz and 806mhz hope this helps

@Richard, those temps are about the same as me, just a question though could you post your Cpu information screen, I would like to see if it differs from mine and neoyoli's

Also wow a major score lol :D
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

My temps differ my phone has been sat idle for a while, and after been on the xda app on the last two of my posts and it varies a lot, take a look:
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Hmm okay thanks Richard, my last post on the front page has been updated with new info. I now know what bogomips are, they are the speed of which the processor works at, similar to the frequency except it doesn't control speeds only gives a speed report.
[HTC Desire C] qubbus:
How yours AnTuTu score after kernel update? Maybe a bit lower? But phone runs smoother and faster... Strange a bit, but acceptable for me :D Score is not such important as overall smothness. 767 OC kernel (mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37617215&postcount=848).
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
As far as I know antutu is not very accurate at all, I will post my score after one is done. :)
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Yep, Antutu is just inconsistent. My first score was +300 better then the average, I thought wow! But the 2nd one was -300 worse then average. That's 600 difference, but the phone is totally lagfree. So it doesn't matter as long as the average is above let's say the psychological limit of 4000.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: [INFO] Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

That is exactly what I think, 4000 or above is good performance. Have you refreshed your Rom? Because mine isn't really any smoother than before for example, when unlocking my lock ring lags :(

My benchmark score:
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
This could be because you have chosen a low freq screen off profile in setCPU and the gov/sched combo maybe scales the freq up less quickly. Just a thought.

I updated my previous post with 4 Antutu scores I made in a row right after flashing the new 767 kernel. I use now smartassV2/sio. Kernel flashed onto my current rom.

I will have to test out the screen of profile settings, thanks for your info :)

Edit: Yes it is due to the screen off profile, If I turn it off there is no lag at all :D
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Kernel is lower scoring by about 100 odd But I have had 4 antututututu, runs all scoring almost the exact same score.:fingers-crossed: Not sure if its a fluke lol but it seems we may have a kernel that is reliable and repeatable :eek, scores are 4663, 4651, 4629 down from my 47odd I posted last night but much less variance between scores.
[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
Hey everyone, was asked nicely to post here. I'm one of the few persons still stuck on the stock kernel!

Not sure what Russell meant by temperatures, but the setcpu widget is pretty variable, seen it go from 28 to 34 degrees centigrade.

And CPU info attached.
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Looks the same as everyone else's. I thought rev number will differ with the low tolerance ones.
[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
If it's the same for everyone, then it must be a user problem... I wonder what I'm doing wrong :laugh:
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
I guess you made a full wipe/factory reset, right? Maybe you could go back to stock rom then factory reset and flash Nameless again. Donno, trial-error method might help.
[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
Yup. I'll play around then.This weekend was going to try out what that Link2SD was about, guess I'll flash some too.

Off to rest!
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: [INFO] Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

I know it may sound silly but have you tried flashing the zeroprobe kernel first, then without a cache erase flash the 767mhz or 806mhz kernel over it?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
767mhz in the poll is coming up lol.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: [INFO] Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

Also with all of the CPU information I have seen from peoples phone, the only thing what has changed is the "bogomips" which is basically how fast the CPU processes things and is boiled down to the frequency it us run at, for example; The higher the MHz such as 805mhz will have a higher bogomips score than 7xxmhz due to the higher frequency set.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Re: [INFO] Overclocking information, governors, profiles, problems, solutions and FAQ

I'm going to rest soon but this is my last post if the night, somewhere on my phone I have seen the manufacturer date, maybe when the phone is made in a certain time frame there are parts what could prevent high overclocked CPUs, I will have a look where it is tomorrow but I think it is located in the HBOOT menu can anyone confirm this?

Basically I'm trying to do the following things:

Identify when our phone where manufactured

See if high overclocked phones are made in a certain or same time frame

To see if low tolerance phones are made later, or at a different date of the hight overclockable ones.
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
how'd you surpass 4600? I benchmark multiple times everyday but my highest is 4584

Gotta hand it to him for making this!
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:

[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
Thanks. Also noticed that my EngineerID is 0000 while you guys have 000a.

Is it relevant?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
I have 000a, and Revision 0001 and I cannot flash 806.
[HTC Desire C] qubbus:
I have 0000, and Revision 0001 and I cannot flash 806 too. 767 works great.
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
theory overthrown...
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Sorry I missed this

I have no idea. per clock Neoyoli scored better than me I could just oc better than him .So who know?
[HTC Desire C] Karuko:
But you've had problems getting it OC until the latest kernel, no? There could be something...
[HTC Desire C] TheRedHunter:
Actually every phone has his limits from factory , some got 722 others 806 MHZ...it's a hardware problem or something like that.
[HTC Desire C] qubbus:
very very early version of 800 Mhz Kernel (with additional modules copied to modules folder) worked on my phone. But not as fast as optimized 767 OC kernel (current).

Every 806 kernel didn't work correctly. Bootloop.

Once (2 updates before) phone passes boot screen, but rebooted again and again just past boot screen.
[HTC Desire C] chrisleeuk:
722 is missing from the voting list

I can't vote for 722?

My phone would not work on any of the new kernels until the 722 version by Mr frat.

Even turning down the faster Kernels to below 700 didn't work.

However combined with the senseless version of Revolution ROM I'm more than happy.

Hey, im new to the RAZR, coming from HTC Evo 3D with CWM it was very simple to do so , also the htc form was very organized in the way that they had a "sticky" that was always updated with new roms and kernels. To say the least i love the RAZR but would like to speed er up a bit as i was use to my evo being clocked at 1.8Ghz aha, so if anyone could help me with ways to OC with a new kernel or even a stock rom thats either ICS or JB but OC and clean with few bugs looking for something stable. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ,

Thanks :)

Hey! My note 10.1 8013 has stopped reading SD cards with the little 30 pin adaptor. When I plug in the adaptor it says USB conector connected but if I insert a SD won't read it (yes, tried with many other cards, and tried the adaptor on my wife's P3113 and it works)

OS is Darkman_RS's 4.1.2 stock, rooted and deodexed. I lightly debloated it (Crayon physics, all the game and learning hub thingy I don't care for, etc)

Any ideas on what should I look into?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Todd:
Well you did what I would do first that's test the adaptor on your Wife's. If you can not see or fell any losenes in the plug, the 2nd thing I would do is make a full backup of my system and return to the stock rom this way you cut out any problems with cook rom or your debloating. If that works then flash back to Darkman's and re-try if it still works, it may of been something you did. If it does not work try one of the other roms till you find one you like and it works.

If after flashing back to stock and it still does not work and you are sure it is making a good connection then I would say it's the note, snes at one time it did work eliminating adapter incompatibility.

Just a quick edited, I was just playing with my note and was hooking up my 2TB drive and seen it was not working, well after a bit of loking found that I had forgotten to reinstall Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ program after installing the Omega Rom. So make sure your drives are Fat32 or exFat and if not you have a program like Paragon or NTFS Mounter installed.

I Flashed Explos!on rom from the stock shipped rom, and then it basically ruined my phone! it turned it off and then it only boots into recovery, and now i cant flash any other rom apart from Einsteins untouched rom which has sense which i hate! i try flashing other roms but after 10 minutes i still on htc screen with red writing! someone help me flash the Explos!on rom right now! I Hate Sense!

Unlocked bootloader with htc dev

S-ON

HBOOT 1.31

HELP ME PLEASE!!
[HTC Desire C] Seag:
I am having difficulty myself finding a rom that actually works with this phone. So far, I have had to settle with Untouched ROM, and I have flashed an overclocked RAM kernel. Had some force closes for a while, but grabbed a tweaker and lowered the RAM speed, so I'm good now. My advice is to stick with what is

stable

first, and then add apks and tweaks and other customizations to bring it to where you would like it.
[HTC Desire C] Majellico:
First, can you state your recovery, is it stock or custom (like ClockworkMod).

This Explos!on ROM... are you sure this is compatible with the Desire C?

I would suggest Nameless Rom [LINK] but since you hate Sense so much :crying: I would consider CyanogenMod [Link], google it for more info.

I would flash CWM if you don't have it yet if I were you, g'luck mate :good:
[HTC Desire C] penguin449:
Im using cwm recovery yes, but i cant even find an oc kernel or whatever it, everytime i flash a new boot.img i just bootloop..
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
Ok, to clarify.

It does not matter if you use nameless rom and hate sense, you can remove sense using nikhils customiser

There is no cyanogenmod for our phone yet

you dont seem to really get ROMing, Majellico, explosion rom was built for desire c and works with no other phone

because every rom has to be built for a phone specifically.

Now for flashing explosion (though i recommend nameless)

First, you do a full system wipe in the recovery

then you delete cache and dalvik cache

choose "apply zip from sdcard"

choose the rom .zip-file

it should now flash.

now for flashing the boot.img,

boot into bootloader, choose fastboot and connect your usb cable

go to the folder where you have extracted boot.img of your choice (you will have to see if the 767OC or 806OC work, if it doesnt just repeat these steps with the other bootimg.)

hold shift and right-click, choose "open commandprompt here" or something like that (my pc is configured in dutch i dont know what that options called in english)

type: "fastboot flash boot boot.img", without the quotation marks

now reboot your phone
[HTC Desire C] penguin449:
First of all i understand ROMing on other phones very well, but i follow thoseexat stepsand i just get recovery bootloop again..
[HTC Desire C] Majellico:
Sorry for the misunderstanding for the Explosion ROM, I heard of it only in this forum and am researching it. There is actually a CyanogenMod for the Desire C (just very buggy, no WiFi so useless), thank you for that other information as well.

May I ask where you got you're version of CWM?
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
Yeah i know about the cyanogenmod, just thought talking about that would cause our penguin friend to flash it and then start a thread : why isn't WiFi working?
