hey... my phone auto updated to 1.4.1 from 1.4... i had many patches installed which i have now updated...but... i also had the 1.4 800mhz patch installed using the wosqi method.... what do i do now? i didnt uninstall it first...as it just updated with no notice.... im fairly certain that its no longer running at 800mhz any more? how do i get it back to 800mhz? and how do i check what speed it's running at? thanks

Tested the new 800MHz ipk, scaling_cur_freq says "800000," so it looks like we're good.

What's the word on power governing, like the (currently-unusable) SmartReflex patch? Or is that not needed with this patch?

EDIT: you will bork/cook/fry/brick your pre if you try this. i guarantee it. You WILL have to go see the doctor.

I was ssh'ing into the phone and running the script through sh before. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and rebooted until my battery died at work. I'm home from work now and have access to my linux box. I'm seeing now that the problem is that it can't find arch/arm/boot/uImage to copy from the tar. I saw the error every time i tried it. I went to the kernel dir and /boot/uImage wasn't there. I pasted the relevant command from the script and it manually extracted everything and it put it where it was supposed to be. I copied the kernel image to the boot dir, ran the sed line on LunaSysMgr, and i now have BogoMIPS : 796.91

So the post was meant to reassure people that using the old kernel on 1.4.1(.1) seems to be a safe enough thing to do for the interim period until Palm releases the source code for the new kernel.

Of course, it's an unofficial indication based on recollection, so we won't know for sure until caj2008 and marco get the latest kernel source code and can take a look at it.

so u are running the 800kbs ipk file, thts strange, wrking for some and not for others, so it cant be a misspelling in the code?

i have just installed the 800mhz.sh file on webos 1.4.1 and it seems to be working flawlesly, with temps of 36 lol, i must have a good pre

If you had "600 MHz issue" please send me your email by PM so I can have you test a new ipk that corrects potentially what we believe is a communication related issue resulting in what you saw. I would like to correct problem today and since I never saw it, I need people who did observe it

NEW IPK fixes it. Thank you for your diligence, patience, and hard work.

These guys absolutely deserve thanks and donations for the time and effort they have put into developing and deploying and supporting this.

wish i could have been home to help squash this bug. They won't let me have a linux box at work, and while the terminal app on the phone has saved my tail SEVERAL times, it's tough to troubleshoot on.
I never downloaded the ipkg, but i am guessing that the problem was the same.

[funkimunk]

So if I just installed the 800 sh file and it is running OK, should I bother uninstalling and going the IPK route instead?

[wellwellwell11]

I have the same question I am running the 800mhz through the sh file on 1.4.1 with no issues. I understand that the ipk is a easier method to install and unistall the kernal. Is it ok to keep the sh file, over the ipk. Also I would like to add to please donate to caj, jason and every other developer when you can due to the hard work that they do for the community. So keep that in mind when you have complaints, and concerns. Also remember that he did post a warning stating that whatever happens to your phone is unfortunatly on you when dealing with kernals, hacking and such so take note. Again thank you for the hard work, and i will donate as soon as I can.

[wellwellwell11]

if it works stay with it, make a spreadsheet though if you can and post results



ok @ caj

The ipk (md5 9A9AF38D9C046285A249C335E6A1FDA2) still fails for me, as does the sh.

Is there supposed to be an error when looking for boot/uImage?

I previously had trouble with the IPK. I uninstalled my 800.sh (since I went back to it earlier) and used the newly uploaded IPK. I am now at 800mhz with no issues. Many thanks to all.

Tried that, to no avail. I'll settle for 600. Thanks, though, for trying.
