Obviously I left out a lot, let me know if you need exactly what happened.
Does that mean it worked?

So that is good now type in
cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I really got to go soon, I will be back at like 9 though but I am going to try to help you all the way through first
If those two commands are at the bottom then it worked(insmod)

Ok, did that and the final two lines are the lines from the install recovery file on my sdk/tools folder that you said i should have

insmod/system/lib
setscaling.sh
 
So then now what? I look at my setcpu and it still has 1ghz as max....do I need to power off then power back on first to see anything?
 
Then it worked try rebooting and I will get back to you in the AM to see how it went

Rebooted and setcpu still has 1ghz as max. Thanks for helping though, I am about to throw my phone across the room.

What could it be?
 
In SetCpu try pressing menu, then press autodetect speeds and run up the top slider all the way right and see if it still 1ghz
 
Well I am trying to OC from a adb prompt on my PC (win7)
First I went to run and typed cmd
I entered: "Adb shell"
I get a: "$"
Then I typed "SU" and the next line has nothing (blank no $).
Then I copied and pasted: "mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Which then I see another line below saying:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system permission denied.

I didn't get to far :(

Can anyone help me better understand this?

Thanks

When enter "su" a prompt will be on your phone and you have to click allow.
So hit su then press allow on your phone

OK so I reconnected my device to my USB cable.
Connections is PC Mode
entered: "adb shell"
got a: "$" entered "SU"
Looked at my device notifications and there was no request for permission.

Do I start with adb shell?
Is PC Mode correct?
Where should I find the request?
 
OK got that part so now I entered: cp /sdcard/overclock.ko /system/lib/modules/
reply was: "cp /sdcard/overclock.ko /system/lib/modules/ no such file or directory"

I did place that on the root of my SDCard.
What is it asking me for?

The only thing I could say is make sure it is there. Cause that what it is saying
 
OK I got it.
Thanks

Last question if I want to un-root (via easy root) what do I need to do to get back to the default clock?
I did enter the survival after a boot from this thread.

And can I delete the 2 files I put in the SDCard root?

THANK you for all your help..
Im new at this stuff and old to boot
 
Hey didn't realize it was you Droider13.

Hows it all going?
Thanks again for your helping hand

OH I chose 1150000 34...
I wanted to speed things up a bit but also try to gain battery life which is now 6 hours.

Those good settings?

No, I would keep them there. To get back to the default clock just delete the files and reboot. Are you going to continue and make the overclock survive a reboot

When I want to go back to the default delete the 2 files on the SDCard right?

Thinking of sticking with this for a bit unless my device becomes unstable.
But when 2.2 is released I want to upgrade to that.

Is there a option to update to 2.2 for a DX???

I know you can on a Droid.

Thanks

OK great thanks again
Now I want to learn how to use a app called Tasker.
It looks like I can setup the GPS to turn on only when needed but I didn't figure out how yet
