[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew_veil:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge

Model SM-G925F

Android version 5.0.2

Baseband version G925FXXU1AOCW

Kernel version 3.10.61-4497415

Build number LXR22G.G925FXXU1AOCV

and I would like to root it with CF Autoroot.

I'm not an Android specialist and even the vocabulary is sometimes mysterious to me, so please excuse my naive questions.

The first one is : the phone has received a new software update which is awaiting me to install it, but I haven't done that yet because I saw on the CF Autoroot site that the root for G925F was based on build LRX22G.G925FXXU1AOCV, which I currently have...

So the question is : is it a problem to have the new update (approximately 160Mb I think) pending? Will the root succeed with this pending update?

Second question :

Also, I tried to disable two processes which were called "Software update".

I could only disable one of them (Software Update, 1.59MB size), the other one (Software Update, 19MB size) has its options greyed out and I can't use them.

Is this a problem? Should I re-enable the "Software update" process before rooting?

Third question : what are the consequences of the root?

Will the phone still receive the Samsung updates? I guess that if the answer is yes, updating will remove the root, is this right?

In that case, if I want to keep the root, how can I stop all updates, which currently are pushed to the phone... and that I couldn't stop, cf. question 2.

And, fourth question: after rooting based on the mentionned build, will there be new "roots" for this model, based on newer stock firmware? (so that the phone can receive useful Samsung updates)

Again, sorry for my silly questions, I did read the whole thread, but... I don't get all the subtle "evident" specialist stuff, and I'd like to avoid bricking the phone if possible :p

Thanks for your answers and help in explaining things to me!

I do believe that when rooting your S6 you will trip the KNOX counter resulting in void warranty and inability to receive official updates. Check out this http://www.kingoapp.com/help/samsung-knox-counter.htm

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
If I'm on 5.0.2 and flash 5.1.1 without the new f**** bootloader(and probably modem so as to have signal) through flashfire, will I be able to use cf-root after this??

Or it s a matter of kernel as well?

Of course it will trip knox, right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pamarakos:
So finally cf-root keeping current binary official even with knox 0x1 is not going to happen on 5.1.1??

Hi All,

Would you please let me know if it's safe to root with provided file on CF-Root site (CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.zip) for G925FXXS3DPF1 ?

Thank you

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi,

So I did something spectacularly stupid.

I bought an Asus M80TA a few months ago and it was working fine. I'd used Ubuntu before on my laptop (as a dual boot with windows because I'm a beginner) and I LOVED it.

In an attempt to install Ubuntu on my tablet ... I fiddled around with msconfig, which was a mistake. I don't think it saved my changes to the settings, though.

Then I stupidly opened wubi, and picked "reboot now".

It kept turning on and immediately bringing a blue screen with "kmode_error.." etc and restarting and restarting, until it just restarted to a blank screen. So it lights up ... but that's it.

Is there ANYTHING I can do or is my tablet done for?

Thanks in advance for not going on rants about my stupidity ;( and for any help.

Some people can't make viper4android work on the new Lollipop update so I'm doing a simple guide:

Requirements:

-Root

-Busybox

-Custom recovery

Installation:

1.- Deactivate NuPlayer in developer options.

2.- Deactivate any other equalizer.

3.- Set selinux to permissive with an app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=en

4- Install through recovery the zip located below then reboot.

5.- Open viper4android and install the driver you want and then reboot.

6.- Done, enjoy high quality sound.
[G2 General] mannequin:
these are the only versions of audio_effects and audio_policy i found that work with streaming apps. can you elaborate a bit more about them where did you find them or maybe you have an idea what was modified in them in order for streaming audio to work? thanks!
[G2 General] Deleted member 5426019:
Good job! But how can I increase the power of the speaker, like in KitKat using Mixer app, but in Lollipop?
[G2 General] didhiy:
+1

I use those 2 files from the zip file to make v4a works for poweramp :D

My previous v4a installation only works on stock music & video player, now works for poweramp and mx player too.

Another note, disabling NUplayer not necessary for me...

Thanks again for this awesome guide :good:

Edit: I found using stock audio_policy.conf is possible to by remove this part:

Deep buffer

deep_buffer {

sampling_rates 44100|48000

channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO

formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT

devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_EARPIECE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADPHONE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_SCO|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_AUX_DIGITAL|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_PROXY|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_FM|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_FM_TX

flags AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_DEEP_BUFFER

}

Note: removing compress offload not necessary, as stated in dorimanx lp kernel thread. So removing deep buffer part only is enough.
[G2 General] mannequin:
do you mean just by removing these 2 sections stock audio_policy and audio_effects can be used instead?

btw, these two .conf files from OP zip break screen casting functionality of chromecast so i'm wondering if your solution will work.

edit: i think it does!
[G2 General] DarkN3ss61:
Thanks so much, it really helped
[G2 General] masri1987:
So, i've been having this huge problem on Nexus 7 2013 w\power amp and 5.1.1 cm12.1 and getting convolver and irs files to work properly.

two questions,

are your irs files working?

also, is the audio policy config on this thread flashable or pushable?
[G2 General] didhiy:
No problem with irs & convolver on my D802, both working normally. I don't know for other devices.

The file from op is flashable from recovery. You can try that.

Just for comparison, I use other methods, I installing v4a manually then install the drivers from the app. Imho audio effect config will change when v4a installing driver. Most useful part from this thread for me only the audio policy config :) that solve my problem make other apps like poweramp work with v4a. Then I found that audio policy config from D802 stock rom can be use too by removing 2 parts. I believe this solution is better because I only lost 2 features from stock rom, not as much as the policy config from op.
[G2 General] masri1987:
Yeah, i flashed the file above and did everything properly, but IRS convolver files aren't exactly being 'used', not all irs files are working properly.

Should i be doing anything to the audio policy config file ? I use power amp too (although it did tell me it was processing under power amp),

IRS is crucial to me because i use my N7 2013 in my car as my in-dash.
[G2 General] didhiy:
I think that's unrelated to the audio policy config thing, this thread already prove the way v4a working for D802. Solved the major problem why v4a only works for stock music & video player.

I suggest you to ask in the v4a main thread or maybe ask the dev that creates your favorite irs that didn't work. I only use 2 irs files & both working normally.
[G2 General] mannequin:
this is kind of off topic but perhaps somebody is experiencing the same. i'm having a weird audio issue on LP which wasn't present on KK in any way and not V4A related.

no matter what the audio source is (playing mp3s or lossless, tons of EQ on or off, YouTube video, game, video, etc) there's a totally random, short sound corruption that sounds like garbled, sped up noise. it's impossible to trace any pattern when and why does it appear and perhaps it's related to radio since it tends to appear more when the signal is switching from Wi-Fi to cellular or cellular signal comes online, etc but not necessarily. i tried to look at the logs and don't see anything suspicious regarding sound there at all.

there's also a theory on other devices forums that Qualcomm's mpdecision is the cause since it always leaves only one core for the sound online and on LP apparently you need more. that doesn't seem right, however, since it does happen when the phone is doing a lot too and not just with the screen off.

any ideas are welcomed.
[G2 General] didhiy:
You can try if the theory was right or wrong by temporary disabling mpdecision. I think the setting is in /mpt/enable file. Change the value from 1 to 0, than compared the results. Don't forget to enable it again by changing the value on that file back to 1. If still no different, I guess the theory was invalid.
[G2 General] Radon7:
doesnt work for me I flashed the zip and then got "viper 4 Android stopped working" on Start, now I cannot install it in the normal way. Every Reboot that "viper 4 Android stopped working" thing comes and idk what to do
[G2 General] hugo.gabriel999:
OMG! thanks.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
Iam having the exact same issue also convolver are not working.
[G2 General] mannequin:
after much experimenting i can confirm that the only way to fix that issue is to always keep 2 or more CPU cores online, nothing else solves it at all.

with stock kernel the only option is to disable mpdecision and enable "multicore power saving" and "soc temperature throttle" for further heat control because without mpdecision you'll be keeping all 4 cores online.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
Ah i will try that, Iam using dorimanx.

Did you get convolvers to work? They dont have any effect for me. Also the effect of viper4android is very small on lollipop. I can hear a difference but its nothing compared to kitkat
[G2 General] Manbot27:
I had someone trouble getting convolvers to work as well. Converting viper to a user app with titanium uninstalling the driver then reconverting it to a system app worked for me.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
after converting back to system app you install the drivers again or when its user app?

Edit: it worked! Iam using it as user app and its working flawless! Kudos to you
[G2 General] mannequin:
obviously using a custom kernel gives way more options to keep those 2 cores online in less destructive manner.

no problems with V4A here, everything works exactly like on KK. like mentioned above the key is to use it as a system app, modify selinux mode and edit audio policies files.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
hey, i saw you wrote on dorimanx thread also :)

any new informations? i tried 2 core online min. but it still occurs.

also what player are you using? its poweramp for me
[G2 General] mannequin:
since it occurs on any media activity, the player is irrelevant pretty much. if it's still happening then you don't have 2nd core online, check your settings and try to monitor 2nd core activity to confirm it's always on.
[G2 General] Choristav:
This actually works for V4A and Poweramp, confirmed. I wonder what are the downsides? Should it break something?

Do you think you could do a separate thread for it? If you want I can do it for you.
[G2 General] didhiy:
No need to create new thread for this, I saw that [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION] already wrote a complete & very good guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60586777&postcount=2

Thanks for him that now I know that just disable deep buffer was enough, no need disable offload section. I don't edit my build.prop like the guide, because v4a work fine without it.

I don't know the downside of disable deep buffer part, one thing I can sure is the less disabling section in audio policy conf will decreasing the downside effect :) that's why I refer you to dorimanx guide.
[G2 General] Choristav:
That's great but, I, like many others, don't visit anything but the AOSP threads/ AOSP development, therefore we would not encounter any of these guides. At worst, I wish the OP edited the title to "[Guide] How to Make Viper4Android work on Lollipop (including PowerAmp), that way people would be much more aware of it.

Also I found out why deleting the deep buffer section makes it work:
[G2 General] didhiy:
Nice found :good: go a head if you want to create a new thread. At least you can explain it better and hopefully more helpful to others.

I shared what I found based on trial & error experience :D glad if it useful.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
it seems that i got rid of the hissing

i played around a little bit with different audio_policy files and the one from kitkat (extracted from pardus rom) doesnt have any issues.

can you confirm that?
[G2 General] mannequin:
i never had the hissing issues but no, this particular policy file doesn't fix small skips and garbled sped up noise like sounds either. like i said, only 2 CPU cores constantly online fixes that on LP, nothing else.
[G2 General] Shriac:
I edited the Audio policy file and that did make poweramp work with viper but messed something with call. Now there is no sound from the earpiece and all the sound is coming out of the bottom speakers.
[G2 General] gozzaa:
yeah you are right, i just got the skips again today (its not much, like 2 times in 20 Minutes)

sometimes i doesnt occur for some reason

i asked dorimanx if he can do anything about it

[MENTION=3098563]Shriac[/MENTION]

i attached the LP policy modded for V4A (deep buffer removed)
[G2 General] mannequin:
weird but i think i experienced the "hiss" issue 1st time ever on my phone. have no idea how and what might have caused it, the only thing that's constantly changing is Dori's kernel versions.
[G2 General] anangnovi:
Hi mate, how you connect your v4s with MX Player? Mine doesn't work with MX Player

That guide should works for mx player too. To find out just set mx player as audio player then check v4a driver status.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
I don't think PC companion will let you, if it does, you may get some apps misbehave and you'll need to reinstall them. It's not generally recommended to mix data from different firmwares.

I was just curious is there a way of updating your mda to windows mobile 6 with a cab file instead of an installer, because my usb doesn't sync with the computer but it still charges. So i'm asking if there is a way to do this, please post.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Andy Phillips:
Sorry...not by cab file.

Sorry mate, you cant update an OS by cab file. You can get the look and feel however by installing some cab files. There's some nice cabs on the forum somewhere (cant remember exactly where!) that will change your today screen, system icons and sounds to make it look n sound almost the same.

If you want the real thing though, you'll have to update the rom via activesync.

Hope this helps..

P.S. Why dont/cant you connect your phone to your PC (apart from charging)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Unless you have a tool to write a WM6 image to a SD card in your PC, then install the SD card in the PDA and load via posted SD load procedure...

At this point, I don't think such tool exists, but I could be wrong...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Your phone may not sync, but can you put the phone in bootloader mode (turn it off, pull out your SD card, and then press the camera key and turn it on, and you will be at the rainbow bootloader screen)? Put it in Bootloader then plug in the USB cord. If you see USB in the lower left then you have enough of a connection to flash a rom (ActiveSync will not connect in this mode either, so don't be surprised by that).

Just a thought...

I also assume you've tried other USB cables and plugged it directly to the back of the computer and not through the front or a usb hub?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Andy Phillips:
SD Card method.

Have a look here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=276963

There is a way to backup a rom to an sd card and then extract that image from the card but I've never tried it.

So in theory you could ask some kind soul to make an sd card image for you that you could extract back to a card and then flash your device with it....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poda13:
Hello everyone,

I have a stock Verizon Galaxy S4 that is having some issues and wont stay on and sometimes gets caught in a bootloop. I have been able to get into recovery and wipe cache / do a factory reset, but the phone keeps doing the same thing; reboot, sometimes start but then reboots again. I have had it for almost 2 years and thought it was the battery, so I bought another one and the phone still does the same thing. If I boot into safe mode, it lasts a little longer that way, but will eventually turn off and get caught into the bootloop again.

Any ideas on what the cause is and possibly how to fix it? The is completely stock and has never been rooted, unlocked, or anything like that. I looked in the forums, but it looks like they all have to do with flashed roms and non-stock options, which is why I am posting a new thread.

All help is appreciated. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
It sounds like your power button may be on its way out. I had the same issue with my phone. Couldn't get it to boot past the splash screen. If your is intermittent it may or may not be this issue. However if the problem gets worse, its more then likely the cause. After a lot of use the insulation inside the power button can wear away causing a short. If you google it there are several articles describing symptoms to help figure out if that is indeed the problem. If you run in to a boot loop, pull the battery and reinsert it. If the phone powers on without pressing the power button, that is your problem.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] poda13:
I know it has been a few weeks but I wanted to provide an update. I have a friend who runs a cell phone repair shop. I took it to him and they did all sorts of tests and such, so we replaced the power button. After replacing the button, the phone still did the same thing.

I would pull the battery, but the phone would not turn on by itself. I would power on the phone like normal and would make it to the splash screen in which the phone would then power off. At that point, it would not try to restart, but rather would act like it was on and the phone / battery would get really hot. I would pull the battery and start again, with the same result.

Any other ideas? My friend, the co-owner of the business, and myself are all out of ideas.

Thanks!

Edit: Also I called Verizon and Samsung to see if I could work out a warranty through either of them. Since the phone is almost 2 years old, we all know the answer to that. Sammy wanted $70 just to look at it, let alone additional charges to fix it if the problem wasnt what they thought it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shaftamle:
I have to say I'm shocked its not the power button. My only other suggestion would be to flash the stock firmware to the device using Odin. It could be a software problem. Your guess is as good as mine. However flashing the stock image is definitely cheaper then hassling with Sammy or big red. Not that voiding your warranty would matter at this point but make sure you flash whatever firmware your on right now. If you go backwards you may run into a problem since your phone has the Knox boot loader. Check out the i545 android development section here at XDA for tutorials on how to do so. There are a few of them out there. I'm not completely familiar with that process since I'm still on MDK firmware. But there are plenty of knowledgeable guys that can help you on those threads if need be. Good luck!
