Hi people!

This is my first thread here on the community, so feel free to tell what i did wrong =)

A couples of weeks i bought a LG G Pad 8.0 (Yeah i should have go for the 8.3 but here on Chile wasn't on stock)

The thing is that everything was fine ... i read all the books i was able to, and played a lot of HearthStone :')

Then i started to get into the Root stuff so i did it with Towel Root

I downloaded the APP did the whole thing and everything was done right (At least what i was able to see)

just a week after the root process, the battery (Or at least the Stats) started to get weird...

The main problem is that whenever i restart the device, even if i let it charging all the night and shows that it is at 100% of his capacity. when boot shows that it haves less than 20%!!

The thing was just telling me that the battery was complete and with a single reboot it losses all his charge?! C'mon! :'/

By my research this has two possibilities:

Hardware Problems or the BatteryStats.Bin get corrupted.

The first one is just ... well not quite possible ... i mean, if it is a "Technical" problem, What was the cause? Why now? ... i can't open the tablet to see the battery but it doesn't have problems with the temperature.

And the BatteryStats stuff... well .... the most "Common" solution is to download the app "Battery Calibration" and just follow the instruction ... well i did it ... Twice! Plus some "Tips" from guys on the internet (Notice the " " )

but it doesn't seem to be working =( ... the main problem is still on my device ... whenever i reboot BOOM! Out of battery! :/ ..... This was what i did:

-Discharge the device until it turns off automatically, turn it on, charge it with out break until 4200 mv (I do it for more than 12 hours but it never send any notification about been fully charged) press the button, unplug my phone and then leave it there with a Super Smash bros match with four player to fully discharge it ... did i did anything wrong? ... i don't think so :/ after the whole process i rebooted the device and it was the same ....

Is there anything that i am missing here?

I've heard about a "Manual" method that consist on fully charge the device then with root explorer delete the bin file and let it discharge ... is that okay? ... Other method is to use the "Wipe BatteryStats" on recovery mode but i do not have that option here.

Well ... what can i do? :crying: Is there any problem with some software? How can i now it? How i can upload a inform about my device so you guys can ses what's wrong? pls help me! T-T LG doesn't have anything on my country and i rooted the phone so warranty went to hell T-T Pls guys! Anything is welcome! T-T

Not Natural English Speaker!! Sorry for any error ... i did my best without google translate! xD

Batteries and thier cells

If you imagine a square, then split it up into smaller squares (like a spreadsheet)

now forget that, do it with a cube, with equal sized smaller cubes inside, thats sort of like the inside of a battery.

Each box can have a maximum number of Ions inside and as they flow through your phone they change from - to + (they have been used)

this means they also must go back into the battery.

One large problem with them is overcharging and undercharging, where you could (this is only a way to think about it) leave it empty meaning the walls would corrode(think of it as drying out) or overcharge (compressing them, making larger forces on the walls causing them to rupture)

Over time this happens in small amounts and so batteries have a like (some thousand or whatever) Maximum recharges

There is also a chain effect where if some cells split, ones next to it can also split. This could have happened in yours and my advice would be get another battery:)

BTW all of this is just a way of thinking, I cant remember all the technical terms and do not use them incase i confuse the hell out of people

Before doing this if you like try delete the batterystats.bin (i have done it before, it just made another)

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

I had the problem where my old S2 would randomly overheat and reboot, upon reboot it would be at least %40 less, new battery fixed it :)

If you cant open your tablet, youtube [tabletname] dissassembly,Its quite hard to do but if its broken already :p

All just advice:)

As the title suggests. I got this watch and so far I really like it. My question is a simple one:

If I root a watch what can I do more that without a root I cannot?

For a phone the justifications are a lot, backups, special access to files, installing customizations, etc etc. But for a watch? what are some of the stuff that require a root?
[Note Edge General] gundal:
Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.

Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..

annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.

go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://xdaforums.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993

MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP

and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout

and have all 4 files on hand before you start!
[Note Edge General] LNKNPRKFN:
Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure
[Note Edge General] tospace2006:
I believe that was an oxymoron
[Note Edge General] LNKNPRKFN:

[Note Edge General] LNKNPRKFN:
ok so i took the plunge and follow the steps from the link in OP that [MENTION=2827817]gundal[/MENTION] shared about his success

I Too have a rooted SM-N915W8 (BELL VERSION but im on TELUS)

Thank you for your insight [MENTION=2827817]gundal[/MENTION]
[Note Edge General] gundal:
Awesome glad it worked out for you too, now we can experiment with which kernel and os will boot without fear of bricking

Yes, I tried reflashing the backup and all is good.

Hyperdrive didn't work even with restoring our boot sector (kernel)
[Note Edge General] tospace2006:
Haha, i was reading through and just found it funny.

Glad you guys are having luck with the Canadian model. I jumped the gun and imported one from Korea as soon as it was released and it's an awesome device!

Enjoy!
[Note Edge General] manmeet604:
Were you guys able to flash a custom ROM? Which ROMS will work with the Canadian version? And which US Model number is 'equivalent' to the Canadian one?
[Note Edge General] JF-GINO:
Anyone try any T-Moble stuff? I didnt look myself but I ask because we all used the tmoble stuff for our old Canadian Note3s ... could be the same senerio. I think that Tmoble kernels should work..

There might be a version of Hyperdrive for tmoble..
[Note Edge General] JF-GINO:
What recovery are you using cause Im on twrp and I cant make a backup, cache partition cant be mounted either, are you having this prob too?.... :(

Dont worry about it, someone else who had this problem fixed it by formatting cache - did that and everything went fine.
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?
[Note Edge General] kuailan:
Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.
[Note Edge General] kuailan:
Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Anyone have any luck yet flashing anything? No love out there for the W8 it seems.
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
did you ever get hold of the stock firmware? i'm in the exact same boat as you, bootloop and all. got too excited to mod i guess lol
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Not yet. I check daily. I'm hoping someone will be able to capture it via Kies when Lollipop rolls out. It's only matter of time before sammobile gets it.
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

bootlooped

tried twice now on the n915w8 keeps going into bootloops got stock firmware and able to bring it back but I don't know why my phone wont take it
[Note Edge General] rafraqdrummer:
Try this out

I had the same problem. But I had success with the River rom note 5 port. So I followed the instructions. I flashed it with Twrp and rebooted. And then it bootlooped. So for whatever reason. I flashed the Beast mode kernel that can be found here. The phone blacked out as soon as I swiped the install switch. And 2 face lights on the bottom of phone stay lite up. So I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. And it worked. And I've done it twice now so.... hopefully it works for you. And you need the NE stock surround sound zip file. To fix no sound issue during calls. Top corner on the phone on start up always says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing but all is good and it works. Rooted sm-n915w8.

How'd you get a demo model? You're probably in the best position to get the firmware, if you end up getting it plz share, me love u long time lol

I've emailed Samsung support, hope they can help me but when I did a live chat with them it was basically a worse version of customer service. I'll upload and update if they end up helping me.
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
Sorry for double quoting and posting so much, I'm just frustrated I cant get my phone in a working state anymore, arg.

Did you create a nandroid backup to be able to get back to a point your phone was useable? Its the one step I seem to have flopped on and it's got me at a soft brick state of affairs. :/
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
I contacted Samsung support twice, online chat and email...both times I was told they couldn't help me. Which I somewhat understand because they don't release stock firmware. But in reality they probably could, they just choose not too. I have also emailed firmware support on sammobile.com as well as posted in their forums. Trust me we are not alone.

Fortunately for me mine is in a working state. I did a backup in CWM before flashing so I just restored after my flashing attempts failed. I just want stock so I can get updates.

If someone could shed some light on just how a stock firmware gets extracted into a flashable Odin file, that would help us all. Or how does sammobile obtain these to begin with? Like I said before, they will get it...its just the waiting that's frustrating.
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
Yeah Samsung was useless to me, telling me to go to a service center but I've already tripped my counter so that's a dead end. I don't suppose there's a way I could restore of a coy of your backup to get me back into a working state at least is there? Someone probably would have gone that route if it was possible hey?

Yarrrrrr I want the firmware so bad, I've never been stuck like this in all my modding ecperience lol
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
After talking to some friends who are advanced users, they pointed me towards some guides that if you have free time, would help us immensely i think.

http://anythingsyouneed.blogspot.ca/2014/05/how-to-create-cwmtwrpctrcot-flashable.html

If we could get any of these to make it to a flashable zip that we could use with twrp or cwm, it would be a patch over until we get the actual firmware i think, since the problem comes after rooting and installing a custom recovery.
[Note Edge General] JF-GINO:
I have at least 12 backups of my stock OS and one just after root & recovery,.

the problem is that my backup has all my contacts, messages, email & private data/accounts so I am not willing to share my backups or make them a zip - Hope you understand.

I have been trying to port the t-mobile Hyperdrive rom but every attempt give me bootloops.. With stock t-mobile, I got it to boot, but it was stock csc for them and nothing worked, cell, wireless, tons of force closes,..

What we need is at least one stock firmware for the w8 version, and a working clean rom from another developer.. Also having sources for the kernel and someone with advanced knowlage would help too LOL!

BTW, my current phone runs ok rooted with custom recovery,. some scripts, cpu control and a few xposed modules..... just allot of bugs, - internet, wifi and sleep bugs,.. its crazy how unstable this build is!

BTW, if you are getting bootloops from trying different roms, could also be partition table layout differences,. try extracting the kernel and system stuff..
[Note Edge General] speakerfone:
I know its huge to ask, but is there anyway you could make a baxkup, data wipe your phone so it has nothing, create a backup and send me the file somehow? I understand you don't want your personal information out floating arounnd, but afterwards you could just backup to your current setup. I don't know how long is going to be until we get a stock firmware, apparently canadas market was only 20000 units or something so we arent going to be very high on the priority list.

Although if you could get hyper drive working that would be more ideal lol

Just fiending for my phone at this point, I'm cut off from the world lol :(
[Note Edge General] CHE1:
Hi, please let me know if you did not get any solution yet, I can make a back up for you.
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
I just sold my Edge, however I did manage to extract the stock recovery from it a couple of weeks ago (forgot the exact method, but googled it). I converted it to a tar.md5 file and attempted to flash via Odin. It failed, but here it is in case someone wants to give it a try. This had no adverse effect on the phone after the failure...but flash at your own risk.

So far no solution, if I could try your backup as well it would be a huge help! Are you rooted? Which recovery do you use, twrp or cwm?

Everyone in this community continue to inspire and help me through my modding experience. Cheers!
[Note Edge General] djparent:
Hey guys this should all prolly be in another thread but I got directed here by a bud having the same problems returning to stock firmware. This should be an easy fix for anyone with access to a working phone with a custom recovery. I've fixed plenty of Sammies using custom recovery way and as long as you have custom recovery Odin is an unnecessary step. Jf-Gino how did you extract your backups? You should be able to go into any of your backup folders and delete the data partition backups. This removes ALL of your personal information. It should leave you with a boot partition, system partition and some junk files that are safe to share as they contain only the firmware data. If your backup is in an archive file extract it with 7 zip and look for the files i mentioned. Terrapin4 how did you extract your backup? Unless you extracted it with odin it won't flash in odin afaik. If you have an archive file as I mentioned previously it may be flashable as is in another custom recovery depending on the format. If you guys have the complete data available this should be an easy puzzle to solve.

But I have to ask.......you guys all flashed a rom you knew wasn't for your model and didn't make backups??????? Not sure if brave or crazy lol

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

That's just a recovery partition extraction. Your system firmware backup will be a file at least 250MB, but prolly much larger, so that's why it's not working
[Note Edge General] terrapin4:
Yeah it was just an extraction of the recovery.img using adb shell. It was about all I could do with my limited knowledge on this stuff. Out of curiosity, when I opened my cwm backup, the system image was split into 3 files (.A,.B,.C). Any idea how one would rejoin these into a workable single image for the purpose of rebuilding? Or am I way out of my league lol.

[Note Edge General] djparent:
Those separate files usually correspond to partition backups. It's just a compressed backup in CWMs format I suppose. I'm more familiar with TWRP, the files keep the partition names. A quick Google search would prolly tell what's in those files. Combining them would be unnecessary for restoring, you can restore the partitions separately this way

Your system.ext4.win files seem to be compressed and split into 2 files, and I can't get them combined without getting errors and a folder full of broke files. If i could figure out how to get around this i'm sure the rest would be cake :/

Cross posting this here for visibility. I had no luck with this method when I had my Edge, but this looks promising for those with stock when Lollipop rolls out soon:
