Overclock Samsung Galaxy Y to 1.2Ghz
Here is something special for all of you! Here is something which could overclock your galaxy y from 832 MHz to 1.2 GHz. This overclocking is made possible by one the xda-developer “Maroc-OS” which his Kernel Merruk 2.5.
Maroc-OS, had removed the original download links to this kernel because more than 80% users reported that the kernel didn’t work (never boots up!). But it’s really great that one other developer “BiswajitBarman” find a way to install it. So try it yourself!
Keep in mind, This is not an officially released version and has bugs in it. So be carefull. Check the comments for bugs reported by others. Also remember to have a backup with cmw.

My Galaxy Young 
Hi, i do what you say. and have still problem but not same problem. now is ok starting mobile but after lagged mobile in black screen only black 😦 you know how can i fix ? can i have overclock to 1.2 ?
Okay do one thing. Flash a new firmware with odin. [Don’t forget to use the .pit file in odin and enable repartition.]. After that try to flash a new Rom (like Jellyblast or Hyperion) which usually have a custom kernel in it. Then flash any of the merruks kernel like merruk 2.0.
Then try to do these steps…
hey where is the link for kuro kernel???
you don’t need to have kuro installed.
ok i dont need do one think. I yesterday do again from tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AhCGUzJJXNQ
and now work have overclocked to 1.248 ghz.
But have still lags in game. Game name is subway Surfers. say why?? 😦

Just flash any other kernel.

You’ll have to flash a new firmware.
dude give me ur gtalk id or contact id…
i want some help regarding my galaxy y….
add me @ fb :- facebook.com/sachinvjn
hi, what is better for games. overclock my galaxy y to 900 mhz or 1 ghz or 1.2 ghz(but at 1.2 ghz only 250 ram)??? Please help me.what is better for games.
And wha is the best rom for playing games?
1ghz is a laggy one and 1.2ghz is not at all stable. I think 900mhz is quite stable. well, I don’t used to play games on my phone and so I don’t know which one is the best. may be you can use “kuro” kernel.
Rom, you could use any custom Roms like hyperion etc..
I now have 900 mhz and i think it is the best maybe but i dont know. And have STOCK rom. And have kernel version: root@ubuntu 39.
Ok i will use 900 mhz.
What rom is better Hyperion rom or Techdous Rom?
Techdous is for Galaxy Y duos right? Hyperion will be my choice.
Hey dude! I experimented my SGY once again
And it is fully able on Creeds rom 3.5
Lalalala … No major bugs yet since creed have no tweaks added and I think this is the reason
Though!! Hahaha
no reboots? force closes?
No force closes on Creeds rom 3.5, it reboot once a day ;D. It ALSO fully able on NEMESIS ONE ROM by almost the same procedure:
>clean link2sd
>CWM
>wipe data and cache
>flash kernel update
>backup ur rom
>flash elite kernel
>report error + wipe dalvic cache
>flash ext4 converter zip
>advance restore the system, data and cache
>reboot
how do you clean link2sd? is that the “clean 2nd partition” option on the menu? im using nemesis one hd rightnow! ive tried this procedure twice but failed in restoring the system! always hav an error!
you can skip it.
plz also tell me my y duos is stopped…..
plz plz
Its only for Samsun Galaxy Y not for duos
It is fully able on Creeds from 3.5. I have it.
It is fully able on creeds rom 3.5. No bugs yet detected..
Technoduos rom work on galaxy y but have bugs. 😀 But after is good playing games 😀 without lags.
So i need game rom for galaxy y. you know good rom for play games? Hyperion lags low.
Well, I don’t really play games in my SGY. So i don’t know which Rom is the best.
I have technoduos rom i fix for galaxy y now work normal, but i cant still overclock to 900 mhz…. and i dont know why 😦 you can help me?
May be later dude.. Coz I’m in the middle of makeing a new Kernel and a Rom. I need my sgy to test it.
well when i restore system ,data & cache E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/last_log
apper how can i fix it ~I had follow all the step from the video
I think something went wrong while backing up the rom. Anyway search for another clockworkmod recovery zip and do the steps again. Don’t forget to delete the “clockworkmod” folder from your sd-card.
no nothing will happen pull out the sd card and put it again>>>then restart into recovery >>>finall you can restore
i had same problem
please help .. install and I did everything but I did clean the sd card because I had installed link2Sd and now I restarted from scratch and do help me
okay now you have cleaned your sdcard. do the other steps as in the post. If your phone fails to start, flash a new firmware and do it again.
For noobs it’s not working but for advanced users like me it’s working smooth like butter thanks admin i succesfully overclocked my phone to 1.2 ghz.i also checked other guides to overclock my galaxy y but but others sites were not providing links of all files like kernal updater and merruks technology your guide is the best over internet what a genius admin you are.

flash a new firmware with odin.

Okay that might be because your PC doesn’t have the drivers of sgy. So, Install Kies from Samsung (Google it) and connect your phone again.
I have also successfully overclock my young to 1.2 ghz with ussr 9 jellynoid but the problem is my chainfire 3d keeps on force closing after each reboot ….any suggestions
jeff told me there are less force closes on Creed 3.5. So try that Rom.

I think your phone is bricked. You’ll need to flash a new firmware with odin.

or google it.. you will get it.
Steps:
1.Install Kies or Samsung USB Drivers(google it)
2.Start Odin.
3.go to Download Mode (Volume DOWN + HOME + POWER)
4.when download screen appers connect phone via usb to pc.
5.now ODIN Should Detect your phone than select PDA, CSC and MODEM. DONT USE .PIT file
6. Press Start.. wait while it wipes and installs Stock Rom.. When you PASS it.. you get your phone Un-Bricked.
Brother where to get PDA, CSC and MODEM files. I downloaded various stock rom but I was unable to find three of those files. What to do? Please help me in details. I can’t boot my phone.

Download and install kies from samsung (google it), this is for installing the drivers required. skip if you have already installed kies.
Then visit this tut: http://bit.ly/13m7yAc and follow the steps from from “C> On your computer”.
Hey dude can this works on galaxy pop GT S5570?????????
Plz rpy
plz
plz
plz
I don’t think so.
Hello Admin,
I have installed JellyBlast v3 with Updated latest OTA5 Pre-Nemsis..
what should i do? i also tried to install it .. it starts and suddnly screen stops working or sometimes Blackscreen or restart for longer time.. so i managed to recover from it, flashed back to stock and installed JellyBlast v3 again with all OTA updates Pre-Nemsis.
Please help!!
I think its coz o the bugs in it. Its not a stable version.
hello my samsung y is new i want to install first the hyperion then do the overlock does it matter what i do first? or wich should i do first please help..
you don’t have to install hyperion for this overclocking. read my post and you’ll find how to install the kernel.
But your galaxy y is new right? So before overclocking, flash any other kernel like merruk 2.0 first.
Angel, My suggestions is that not to install ANY Custom roms… Murruk kernal Works fine on Stock Roms..
But to install Murruk Kernel on stock rom requires Kuroz Kernal..
So first Flash “Kuroz” latest kernal than Flash “Murruk 2.0” do not directly flash Mukkrk 2.5.
Admin I want to ask some questions how to unbrick my SGY cuz I want to get prepared if I brick my phone hehe Thanks!!
how can I help?
I want to know the instructions on how to unbrick my phone Thanks!!!!

Plz plz plz
Ok do one thing. Download this odin : http://www.mediafire.com/?fyg0q196cd9ff23
Try to flash again but this time tick the re-partition box and select the .pit file (which I’ve included with that odin.)

Download this odin : http://www.mediafire.com/?fyg0q196cd9ff23
Try to flash again but this time tick the re-partition box and select the .pit file (which I’ve included with that odin.)
I added you to Facebook. I got some questions about this thing
1. Does it work with Creeds ROM 5.5?
2. Does it touch my installed apps? I mean do I have to re-install some/all of them?
3. Does it touch any system settings, do I have to re-set some or all of them?
4. There is possibility phucking something up. After phucking up, how to restore?
If it works with my rom and stuff then it’s good. Currently I use V8 Supercharger scripts, they made my phone super fast. If you are not using them. I completely reccomend using them after that overclock thing. It will make it very fast as it optimizes memory usage n other shiet
Is it 900mhz is better or 1.2ghz for galaxy y
900mhz. its more stable.
