How to Overclock iPhone & iPod Touch

As you all know Apple has limited the performance of all processors of our iPhone and iPod Touch. So the processors on the devices are not fully exploited, but with overclocking it is very much possible, but only on jailbroken iPhone firmware. The processor of the iPhone 3G is indeed 600MHz, but Apple has limited it to 412 MHz only likewise for iPhone 3GS instead of 833 MHz it is allowed to operate at 600.

After overclocking iPhone or iPod Touch your iDevice will be faster and more efficient. We stress however that the operation is dangerous and might brick your iPhone too. In order to unlock the functionality, follow our guide to overclock your iPhone.

Steps to Overclock or increase CPU Speed of iPhone and iPod Touch

Step 1. Navigate to System/Library/System/System Configuration/PowerManagement.bundle/

Step 2. You will see a file named “com.apple.SystemPowerProfileDefault.plist”

Step 3. Instead of editing, you are just rename it to “SystemPowerProfileDefaultbak.plist” so the device does not recognize it.

Step 4. Do a reboot and you overclock your iPhone.

Increasing the clock speed would degrade the CPU’s lifespan and is therefore not recommended. Do at your own risk. We will not be held responsible for bricking your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Yes it is highly speculated to be unveiled between June 7 – June 11 at WWDC

This doesn't work.
CPU Clock Speed is a hardware setting.
NOT in a configuration file.

Renaming or editing this file has absolutely no effect.
If you don't believe me, do a CPU benchmark before and after you rename the file.

Or even better, use SysInfoPlus to see that the CPU speed is still the exact same.

okay i am in the com.apple.SystemPowerProfileDefaults.plist so what do i have to change to increase the cpu? right now i am running at 532MHz, i am using a ipod touch 2g 4.0 jailbroken

Apple Loves you

Actually you can. From iOS 2.0 to 2.1 apple overclocked the iphone from 400 Mhz to 412

doesn’t work.all bullshit….

I wouldnt do it, all it does is just tell the iphone to ignore the power management feature which means it will always run at the default clock speed even in sleep mode so your just wasting battery.

There is however a proper way to overclock the cpu where you actually put in your own clock speeds.

Ok, how do you enter in your own clock speeds?

OK FUCKER if you are so smart then how do we do it………….That is what I thought, you are full of shit.

Go to the terminal or SSH to the device and type sysctl hw.cpufrequency and see what it reports. My iPhone 3g still reports 412 frequency. I don’t think this works at all. No changes in the benchmarks and the terminal still reports the same clock speed.
brandon

my iphone clock reports 412 mhz however my iphone does appear to run 50 times better after the hack my iphone is full 16gb of info eventhough ur clock dosent report it u’ll notice it if u had a filled device ……
ass

The processor runs 200 mhz underclocked for batterylife
Tjliverpool

Can you tell us how?
Jjjjj

hej
Rastermany

The true way to overclock is to edit the fstab file in /Private/etc. This is where you can manually set the clock speeds for when your iphone is in sleep mode and while you use it.

So Pez…can you tell us how to put in our own clock speeds?

I hate people who pick on newbies and try to destroy their devices. fstab is the filesystem pointer (“tab”) file, and changing one byte of it will prevent your device from booting and most likely require a full restore to fix.
