Guest rikuumi Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I tried 800mhz or something and had accidently 'set on boo' on and now I can't boot it crashes in few seconds so I don't have enough time to change it. help using cm7 latest nightly if that matters
Guest olionair Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 do a clean install or restore an old back up
Guest wbaw Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I did the same, I think those sliders in setcpu are badly designed, as soon as you let go it overclocks it. if set on boot is ticked & you overclock it too much then you're in trouble. I fixed it by letting the phone cool down totally, taking the back off & taking it outside (on a cold night) so i could get it to boot for long enough to quickly change it. Another, easier & safer way to fix it would be to boot into recovery (vol - & power on) wipe & reflash it from a backup, or a rom zip, it wont be overclocked in recovery mode so that will work fine. It should have more warnings & an 'are you sure you want to' confirmation before it overclocks, or at least untick set on boot when you change it, for idiots like us, but it doesn't.

Guest skull_fcuk Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I did this too! So you're not alone. Im on CM7 NB4 too. I have since avoided that Set On Boot button like the plague! I just did a restore using Nandroid. Worth keeping a back up, which can be easy to forget. Especially when sorting out a new ROM like CM7, getting comfortable and setting things up, then getting a bit frisky and curious, then before you know it, you've done what we did and are pulling our hair out. Lol. Steep learning curve sometimes.
Guest wbaw Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 exactly, keep backups & stay well away from the 'set on boot' option for overclocking until you're sure it runs stable at that speed.
Guest wbaw Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Fridge? :) bad idea, condensation :huh:
Guest Swimmerboy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Restore via Nandriod, or connect it to a PC and remove the SetCpu apk from /data/app and reboot. When it starts up it won't be able to overclock as the app isn't there.
Guest Frankish Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 If using SetCPU it has a feature where you place a file on the sdcard or in /data/local/ called "setcpu_safemode" and then SetCPU doesn't run any tasks at boot. Then you can lower speeds. Not sure about Cyanogenmod cpu thingy though.
