I don't know what version my device is all I know is that it's the low end for 199€ ZE550ML and I got it from here

http://www.eglobalcentral.de/asus-z...8K3C7dJG-dmC1dlLI7lb9qJ8lVcXMIahOmxoCQVbw_wcB

Great deal for me from Germany to get it from the UK and I didn't have much money to spend and I'm sure I will be satisfied with it, oredered it a couple of days ago, going to arrive soon in 2-3 days and I will directly ROOT it if it's already possible, gotta take a look around the forums, haven't been here for a long time, I want to root it for some basic stuff like get completely rid of bloatware by deleting from system with link2sd and removing all adds with adaway :D

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fire-blade:
Hi guys,

Just wondered if somebody could point me in the right direction.

I have just been given an S4 i9505 running Stock Android 5.0.1.

I would like to root the device as some of the apps that i currently use require root access.

From what i have read (i've read tons of pages and seem to be going round in circles and confusing myself, lol), i figure i should be able to use Odin to flash Philz Touch Recovery (I found a link for philz_touch_6.07.6-jfltexx.tar.md5 - the download link for the newer version wasn't working), and then flash SuperSU.

However, i put the phone into download mode and then connect to my computer - Odin connects to the phone ok.

I then untick the "Auto Reboot" option (i have also tried with it), load the "philz_touch_6.07.6-jfltexx.tar.md5" file into the "AP" box and click "Start".

Odin does it's thing and seems to go ok, with no errors and i get a green "Pass" box. However, when the phone reboots it loads straight into the operating system and when i hold down the 3 buttons to enter recovery, i am taken straight to the stock recovery.

Can anybody point me to where i might be going wrong? Or an alternative way to root stock 5.0.1?

From what i have seen, i'm not too bothered whether Knox gets tripped as the warranty is out anyway.

Many Thanks,

Kind regards

Rob
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try with CF-Autoroot. This does not require a custom recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
From there, if you do want a custom recovery, flash TWRP rather than Philz. Philz is no longer supported.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fire-blade:
Thank you for the suggestions guys.

I'm not sure what i was doing wrong, but after a few more attempts i managed to get it working.

I found that by keeping the "Auto Reboot" option ticked, i could just hold the vol + key as the phone rebooted and it entered into recovery.

I'll go and find a download for TWRP and give that a try.

Thank you once again :D

Hi just wondering what's the big difference between 1.8 and 2.3 just wondered as is it worth buying the 2.3 if I got the 1.8 thank you
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Depends on what you plan to do with the device. If you are going to use it for some high end gaming (Gameloft, Ubisoft, etc.) then yes, the extra .5Ghz will help increase the frame rate.

For normal use (web browsing, flappy bird, etc) there wont be much performance difference.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowbaggie22:
Not really much a gamer
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
The 1.8Ghz should work fine for you then. It can run the simple stuff with no problem.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
The 1.8GHz version might even have better battery life because of that and because it powers half the RAM.

The cpu is quite powerful so most the time the phone runs at lowest frequency step of 500MHz anyway.

I have the 2.3GHz version but I'm actually running my phone capped at 1.8GHz anyway to see if battery life difference is significant.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avicho:
I have the the ze551ml variant with 1.8 cpu and 4gb ram. I think that the device run smoothly also with heavy games.. and you have the advantage of lower consumption of battery...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MironV:
Did you limit your frequency at 1.8? How so? Don't you need a custom kernel for that?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avicho:
Not at all. I just bought zenfone 2 version with built in 1.8 cpu and 4gb ram...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MironV:
oopsie...I wanted to quote someone else. My bad :D

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Did you limit your frequency to 1.8? Doesn't that need a custom kernel?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
No, you don't need a custom kernel. I use Kernel Adiutor app.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MironV:
Thank you! :D

Later edit: Oh, I was actually looking to overclock the CPU at 2.5GHz, let the min at 300Mhz and play with the gorvernor. I do need a custom kernel for this (for the frequencies). :D
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XneofuX:
You need a custom kernel only for overclocking. The stock kernel has limits built in. As long as you stay in these (usually stock clock is max), you don't need one. The actual clock speed limits are written in a file which you can even change manually (needs obviously root). For example:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq

cpu0/cpu1/cpu2/... are the different cores.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nghj:
so any significant improvement to batt life when running at max 1.8?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
No, not really. The CPU is pretty beastly and usually runs at the lowest frequency step of 500MHz or the next step up (583MHz) anyways.

It rarely goes above the minimum speed except for touch events (when frequency will be temporarily boosted in anticipation of activity) and heavy usage like Web video streaming, gaming etc.

I haven't seen any performance degradation with my games and emulators at 1.8GHz vs 2.3GHz.

So overall the battery savings aren't dramatic and really not so noticeable except for heavy usage anyway like gaming. I also have the touchboost capped at 1GHz from the stock speed of 1.33GHz. Again, not huge differences but just little things that add up.

As I said, the CPU is already beastly and efficient. It's really the older screen tech used for display sourcing that has the most impact to battery life.

Is this what happened to you? http://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/warning-bootloader-relocking-t3059595

Which model number do you have? (XT1524, XT1526, XT1527 etc) The stock firmware for most models is now available online. You can reflash the signed stock firmware for your model to unbrick it. You will need firmware that matches your CID. You can get your CID from fastboot by running "fastboot getvar cid".

There is a large repository of Moto E stock firmware here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/752fdb49361c7f62/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100

Downloads are rather slow on that site though.

If you have an American model, there are faster downloads here:

before, i would pair to my alpine car stereo and it would ask to save this connection and that was it, and everytime i turned the car on, it would connect without having to put in a code or anything

now, every single time i get into the car, it asks to pair, it asks to allow access to phonebook etc, the whole process takes ages, and it still doesn't connect perfectly as the bluetooth logo on the stereo constantly flashes, this is a huge problem for me, as i have 9 points on my driving licence, some of which for using my phone so any more and i lose my driving licence

To be honest, bluetooth not working is not really an excuse for 9 points for using your phone, you also have the option to not answer it when driving, or pull over first

Open up build.prop in /system/ and edit this line

ro.securestorage.support=true

to

ro.securestorage.support=false

But if your WiFi passwords are saving fine it might not be that afterall... worth a shot I suppose though, having root is always good, if for nothing else you can block adverts system wide

Basically you need this file if you S5 is the G900F

http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip

And ODIN

https://mega.co.nz/#!Exo3yADS!y7pFS5-9RVhp4vDxTRAQARAwkjyQAB_9mDZWfXkLqko

Put the phone into download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) from a powered off state - then volume up when prompted

Extract CF Auto Root

Load the extracted file into AP in ODIN, wait for it to say it's happy, and hit Start

It will root the phone, then reboot the phone
