Yes because it gives recovery permission to the root of the phone hence you need root to use custom recovery ?

Hi i have a non rooted phone and i have a terrible battery at the moment due to issues with android system

In my battery stats screen android system is using over 20% and then occasionally in an instant jumps up to 25% then slowly goes back down

Under my CPU processes i have seen something called krtccd and it pops up using quite a bit of cpu. The phone sleeps well but when the screen is on it looses 15% in 10 minutes. The CPU never goes below 5% either

Can someone please help as i have already factory reset the phone but that hasn't helped at all. The screen is only using 39% but android system is 20 - 25 and Android OS is 15%. In 4.3 my battery was lovely with the screen using 70% but now i have to charge to 100% then take it off at 8AM then charge it again at about 1PM becuase it is near 35%. I can just about get an hour and a half at the moment when i used to get three nearly

It seems fine for the stock rom with Samsung crap. Try greenify, it helps me save battery a bit :)

If you root ur phone and loose ur warranty, then there are many things you would be able to do to preserve battery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forfivo:
Its related to RUNTIME_COMPCACHE (/drivers/staging/android/rtcc.c).

From /drivers/staging/android/rtcc.c:

From /drivers/staging/android/Kconfig:

To get rid of it you need to compile a kernel without this config.

Yeah, its a source of battery drain. I dont know what performance gains we can extract of it. I disabled it on my own kernel. It drains about 5% of cpu time when idle.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ky41083:
Sorta old thread, first Google result though....

If you are rooted, you can simply turn off the zRam swap file. This will stop the krtccd process from using any CPU = draining battery. You can do this per boot in terminal as root, or use something like ROM Toolbox Lite to automatically do it on every boot, as it does not persist across reboots.

Example boot script:

#!/system/bin/sh

#

# Turn off zram swap for GS4 stock 4.4.2

swapoff /dev/block/zram0

You can check the progress of the command if your device has been on for a while, and / or the success of the command by running cat /proc/meminfo and reading the output. If both SwapTotal and SwapFree are 0, the swap file is off. You can also run cat /proc/swaps, it should output headers and nothing else (no swap files).

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rob.egg:
Hi. I decided to save some money when my contract was up & keep my Xperia S, moving to a cheap SIM-only deal. So I thought it would be a good time to try modding, hoping to get a version of KitKat running.

Unfortunately the phone's bootloader cannot be unlocked so my options are limited, though it seems CM10 for LB might be the best option.

So I started first by doing a factory reset. Then rooting it using the thread below, flashing back to 0.211, used Doomlords toolkit, then flashing forward again to 1.96, using FlashTool64.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417672

That worked fine, SuperSU is available and FlashTool shows root access.

Next was to install a custom recovery, but I thought first I'd have a look at the stock recovery as I'd never seen it before (or knew it existed!). However I couldn't get into it. No LED lit up when I turned the phone on and no matter when, how long or how many times I pressed the volume down button it didn't work.

I decided to install the custom anyway, using the thread below, the batch file ran through all it's processes and announced it was successfully installed.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2634382

Yet I've still got the same problem, no blue LED when turning on, and seemingly no recovery access. The only volume action I get working is booting into Safe Mode. I've checked the service menu tests & all 3 LED colours are working.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saurav16:
USE OTHER RECOVeRY

that dual recovery probably would not work for you right now , you should instead use doomlords adv stock kernel ( which has got a recovery - i am not sure though )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rob.egg:
Thanks for the reply.

As far as I can see Doomlord's Advanced stock kernel & Doomkernel both need an unlocked bootloader, and he never got round to making ones for locked before moving away from the Xperia S. The dual recovery I tried was the only recovery for LB I could find, dual or not.

Isn't it strange I couldn't load the stock recovery after rooting? Or maybe flashing the stock kernels in the rooting thread overwrote the stock recovery?

Do I even need a recovery to flash a new ROM, I've read some things about using fastboot in flashtool, or would this be dangerous without a recovery to fall back on?

Maybe I'll try loading the dual recovery again and post in that thread if it doesn't work. I did notice in that thread someone was advised to check /data/local/tmp but looking through Android Commander my root data folder seems to be completely empty!

Forgive my noob questions, I'm trying to read up & learn fast but it's hard digging out the info I need from search alone.

I just wish my damn bootloader was unlockable! :crying::o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rob.egg:
Ok I downloaded Root Browser and I can now see the contents of my data folder. Comparing with other posts in the Dual Recovery thread it seems ok. i.e. No errors & the files seem to be there.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Works on both JellyBean and KitKat. It is enabled in the kernel by default on official CM ROMs.

For flashdrives and low power devices, it works great. If you want to run an external harddrive though, you need to get a powered hub because I don't think the port can output 500mA or above.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbank94:
So I'm on Android Revolution HD 52, and the Magic Jack app won't work for me at all. It just opens up, remains on a black screen, then crashes out of the app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, wiping cache/delvik, installing an older version of Magic Jack, etc.

Nothing is working.. so I think the problem maybe is that Magic Jack is incompatible with AR HD 52?? My last resort is to flash ARHD 51, where I hear that Magic Jack works just fine.

But before I do this, does anyone know any possible solution before I take the far-fetched route?

Magic Jack is a must for me as I am a student in Macedonia and my entire family is in US, so I can't really use any alternatives to MJ. :L

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amarach:
Hi all,

I bought my S4 in Thailand, and didn't know it would region lock when I used it with my True Move SIM card. So, I moved back to China, and was vastly unhappy to find I could not use my new phone here.

My phone is 4.3, and upon research, I found I could not unlock my phone in 4.3 as the service mode had been blocked for that, and if I want to unlock it, I need to go back to 4.2.2. I know how to do this, but the problem is that I cannot find 4.2.2. Every link to the file is on hotfile, and hotfile is dead.

Does anyone know where I can find an official version of 4.2.2?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] htcp85:
I want to know that too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
I think you have a definition difference. The bootloader is unlocked on the TMO S4. That is you can use the bootloader to update and install modems, roms, recoveries, etc. It is not locked and will let you do this.

However, if you use the 4.3 and above bootloader, it will set a flag if you flash a recovery. This is known as the Knox Warranty flag. And, this is what is shown on the ODIN or bootloader screen.

BTW, if you update to NB4 (Kit Kat) with a 4.3 bootloader or later, the SafeRoot method will not work. The only known rooting method at this time is the CF-Auto-Root which will trip the Knox flag. So, if you are fully stock 4.4.2 you will trip your Knox flag if you root the phone.

However, you can do it. It doesn't lock you out of doing it. It just records that you've done it.

Rob
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaSsAtDrOiD:
So if Knox counter doesn't matter you can still root device..are you still able to install custom roms? or isn't that possible ATM? Trying to get rid of the severe lag 4.4.2 OTA update has bestowed upon my gf's phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
You can flash anything you want with the TMO S4.

However, if you need to return it for warranty, they MAY check the Knox flag, and they MAY not do the warranty service for free. That hasn't been shown to be a fact, but it is the reason for the flag in the first place.

It has been stated by a few people that re-flashing back to full stock will remove the Knox flag. I cannot verify it, since I haven't tried it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hella356:
Can anyone shed some light on a couple of points? I currently have the MDL bootloader along with the NB4 modem. This all runs fine with my daily driver (LightSpeed) 4.2.2 ROM, as well as the (Insane Kit Kat) 4.4.2 I've been experimenting with. I do understand that I can't go back to the MDL bootloader if I update. Knox issues aside, is there any actual advantage to having the new bootloader? Since my warranty is running out soon anyways, I'm not too worried about tripping Knox. So, does the NB4 bootloader offer any real performance or feature advantages? Can I still run 4.2.2 or 4.3 ROMs with it, or will it limit me to 4.4.2+ ROMs? Does it impact the usage of different kernels? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spyke1999:
It won't remove the Knox flag although they MAY not check it or they MAY when I did my warrenty return they did not but that doesn't mean it will always be the case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] makomek:
If you don't care about knox you better off going to the new bootloader ,the NB4 wifi driver is not present on the MDL bootloader so you still using the old wifi. I notice very strong wifi signal after upgrade to kitkat bootloader to flashed modem and wifi fix.The best way is to flash the NB4 firmware through Odin so you can get everything needed and go from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hella356:
Thanks, makomek. I've been wondering about that, but haven't really found much info beyond the Knox implications. I have gotten an improvement in general phone call stability and download speed with the NB4 modem. Is what your're talking about related to the NON-HLOS.bin being installed? As I recall, that was to improve LTE, but I apparently it's actually related to WiFi. Or could be both? At least it's good to hear there are positive reasons to update the bootloader. Any idea if doing this would lock me into only using KitKat ROMs/kernels, or would 4.2/4.3 still work? Your input is much appreciated. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
If your girlfriend's phone is stock, unrooted, and she took the OTA, the easiest way to get rid of lag is to factory reset. If she doesn't care about being rooted and just wants the stock rom, this is the easiest way to improve performance. Just start over. OTAs, in my opinion, are like a dirty flash.
