Overclock ARM11 CPU On Symbian^3 Nokia N8/C7/E7


 
Before overclocking the Nokia n8 processor you should read the list below: 

1)Overclocking will reduce the life span of your mobile phone,The more the cpu speed is increased the more you will reduce the life of it.

2)The Nokia n8 already suffers from overheating so issues due to a manufacturing problem,so overclocking the device can make make the N8 run more hotter and can damage it making a £450 paper weight.

3)If you do overclock it the battery life will drain more quickly,so you got to charge it more often.This is because the cpu needs more power to run and it takes it all from the battery pack.

4)If you overclock the cpu more than 2000 mhz then your device will freeze up and fail to start up and crash.Sometimes it will not boot up,but i overclocked my n8 to 2000 mhz with no problem at all.

Instructions on how to successfully overclock the Nokia n8 

1)Make sure that the Nokia n8 battery is fully charged before going through the overclocking process.

2)Download the file called Mr cpu wizard and extract it to your desktop and copy the boot file into your memory cards root folder.

3)Once that is sorted,download another piece of software called Maemo Flasher.Once you got that software copy that as well into the root folder on the memory card.Then run it and install it and wait for it to be installed on to your device.

4)Then copy Mr cpu wizard application into the root folder and rename the app to 2000mhz kernal and save it.

5)Next is to turn off the mobile phone and take out the battery and wait for 45 seconds minimum at least.Then place the battery back in and switch on the phone.It should boot into a cpu bios screen that displays all kinds of information about your Nokia n8 cpu status just like in the image below:
 
 

6)Change the frequency of the cpu to 2000 mhz by entering 2000 on the touchscreen keyboard that will appear when you select this option.Once you have done that take the battery out and but in back in and a message will appear on the screen and it will say Mr cpu wizard enabled turn off device to save into bios.Then turn off power to the device,then back on and you are running 2 ghz of pc power!
