Thanks for the quick reply!

I am currently with android

4.4.2 Kit Kat

.

I just tried Force GPU rendering from developers menu and at first it seemed to help but after 3-5 min playing Asphalt 8 started stuttering with random fps drops again.

As I wrote in my previous post I didn't have that issue on Jelly Bean 4.3.

I was thinking about downgrading to JB 4.3, but read that this leads to a lot of trouble like wi-fi not working, GPS not working etc.

Is there anything else that I can try on non rooted 4.4.2 to improve game fps before considering root or downgrade?

EDIT: I noticed that the frame drops are not constant. I usually clear all programs from recently use list and clear memory, but it doesn't always work.

When I clear everything in the evening and if first thing in the morning I start a game it runs smoothly, but otherwise it is stuttering.

Could there be something wrong with LMK or LRU on 4.4.2 or should may some application has been screwed up with the latest update...

I use only basic applications and 2 or 3 games, but it seems google apps are not running very smoothly after latest updates - chrome, hangouts... may be the problem could be there as well...

I do not know where the phone is a problem, but since the last time after brushing a test package , the phone can no longer use the recovery to install the system. Phone has been stopped at the first boot screen . Only odin install Samsung official firmware . Then find the log on recovery screen display can not load volume / misc. Have tried all the cwm version installed , and clear all the resources. However, the recovery can not boot the installation of third-party systems. Is not there something is not cleared ?

Need some direction

Hi Guys,

i am new here, although not new to root, etc. i had different phone before, now i bought Grand 2 (G7102) couple months back,

needed some help :o:o

1) i have seen some threads saying that 4.4.2 has many problems, So upgrading to it is not good ?? :confused::confused::confused:

2) How can i root my phone.

3) where can find a working CW recovery for my phone. Or any other good recovery you mite be using.

4) i have also read that CW recovery doesnt include SuperUser in it. if true how do i get it?

5) where can i find Odin flashable roms ?

6) Does xposed Installer work on our phone?

7) where can i find Partition file

Regards,

Shailesh.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuldude:
1) Yeah KitKat has problems bit the latest version doesn't has so many so if you Want to upgrade you can upgrade but once you upgrade you can't downgrade or you will brick your phone also if you are a heavy gamer I recommend staying on jelly bean

2) There are different methods like flashing CWM or any recovery and Then flashing SuperSU Zip also there is CF auto root you can easily find them in Android development or Original Android development Forums

3) Same as 2) you can find it on the forums mentioned

4) yeah it doesn't you can't just download it from play store after flashing Recovery

5) if you live in India then there is a thread in General forum that provides it If not then just head over to www.sammobile.com/firmwares and flash your country's Formware

6) yeah it works perfectly

7) what do you need partition file for ???
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shailm_85:
thank kuldude for replaying

is there sort of index or a guide for flashing cwm, ets as there are multiple cwm 1 works other 1 doesnt.

and by odin flashable rom i mean rom with different boot,pda,modem,pit files in it.

reason is in my previous phone there was a base odin flashable rom, in case we messed up we can just use the pit file to re-partition flash the base odin flashable rom & then flash any new firmware u want over it then install the custom rom u want .

and Yes i live in India, can u please give me the link to the Odin flashable roms u mentioned before.

Thanks

Congratulations!

You've just wiped your EFS partition.

You have two options:

Take it to a Samsung dealer.

or

Reflash the official ROM with the Phone EFS Clear option ticked in Odin.

Please keep in mind that I an totally unsure whether the second option would work. Theoretically, it would.

BOOTLOOP

Hi,

I am not a NOOB, but this is what happend today.

Any suggestions would help.

Phone grand2 was in 4.3 firmware.

I downloaded a stock 4.4.2 Rom from sammy..

flashed - Bootloop

Downloaded another firmware from sammy and flashed via odin - bootloop

Downloaded 5 firmwares from sammmy and all this has a bootloop.

I tried to downgrade - cannot

i tried to flash theS5 ported ROM. It flashed fine and stuff. - Still bootloop.

Finally..

I downloaded lolipop ROM. only that boots!!

Any idea why ?? i am thinkin its the boot.img file thats not working for the rest..

But even stock ROMS dont work.. what shall i do ?

Could anyone help?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
Pick one of your stock ROMs and flash again, ticking Phone Bootloader Update and untick Auto Reboot, removing the battery when flashing finishes.

If this didn't work, try adding Phone EFS Clear.

Hi,

The DEDS kernel worked..

so bottom line.. i guess it was the kernels fault..

maybe the stock kernel dint flash properly or sumthin.. or i dont know what.. but the DEDS kernel fixed the issue.

CWM Recovery and Bootloading

Hi Waseem,

Thanks a lot for the advice. I have now successfully rooted my SM-G7102. The biggest problem which has popped up now is regarding the Custom Recovery installation. Since you are using a custom ROM on this device, guide me through these queries:

How can I install a Custom Recovery on my device (I mean specifically for SM-G7102, cuz I cant even find it nowhere), cuz my ROM manager just wont allow Flashin a new ROM without it.

Did you have to Unlock Bootloader to install it, cuz thats what I think is preventing me. If so, tell me how did you Unlock bootloader on this device?

Or Simply, I want to Flash a Custom ROM for my SM-G7102, obviously thats what we root our phones for, what do I do now cuz I cant find nowhere how to overcome these issues, 1st Do I really need to Unlock Bootloader and if so how to do it; 2nd: If Not, what will make it possible to install a Custom Recovery say CWM on my phone.

No need to worry. I rooted my Grand 2 three days after buying it.

As for your issue, use Download Mode to reflash stock firmware OR any custom recovery (CWM/TWRP/PhilZ).

Your recovery partition was damaged. That's why your phone doesn't boot into recovery.

Your best friend is the 1.x GB download of stock firmware from SamMobile.
