[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KCRic:
Not sure what's doing it. I've went in and manually changed /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online to "1" which brings the .../cpufreq folder back. I've changed permissions to 644 (rw-r-r for those that like that format) and made "root" the owner and group. Then I do the same for cpu5, 6, 7. Inevitably they change back to offline and .../cpufreq disappears for all 4 cores. I can also change the max active cores in Synapse from 8 to another number, set it, and set it back to 8 with the same end result. Is this a normal behavior for the folder to disappear when the big cores are inactive? If so, why is the ../online value not going back to "1" when the phone needs them?

I discovered this issue when Synapse started throwing errors about not finding the .../cpufreq folder for #4 not to mention the massive lag. I'm at a loss and thinking of a dirty flash to see what happens. If that fails to correct it then I'll be reduced to a clean install. Currently I'm using Twisted v4 with Hacker kernel. Nothing other than Synapse and 3C Toolbox Pro should be changing the cpu settings (3C isn't active for the cpu). I'm looking at logs right now to see what might be the cause. Does any have any ideas in the meantime? Could it be Synapse having an issue and not changing the value? Maybe a bug in my filesystem? I'm really stuck on this one.

EDIT: I've set Synapse to a max of 6 cores. Seems to be allowing cores 4 and 5 to come online again after going offline and sleeping. I'll do the same with 6 and 7 followed by reboots after each one. This is very odd behavior. On a side note having only 2 of the A57's active creates no noticeable difference in performance compared to having all 4 big cores online. I even have them underclocked to 1.8 (LITTLE is at 1.6). Benchmarking yields the only noticeable difference and not by any significant margin. I'll keep testing, maybe we can save some juice with this.

Root causes this condition.

My stock S6E keeps all cpu's online.

Hi everyone! First of all, I am very, very sorry for posting this in the wrong topic (I have no idea how to find the root one), but I am in desperate need of your help. I got two trojans on my phone. The ones that cannot be deleted (Ghost Push Trojan), and I downloaded the Cheetah Mobile Trojan killer, but it requires me to root my device. So here is my question, what is the right way to root an LG Optimus L5 E460 ii? I read somewhere about a chinese program vRoot, but heard that it turned to iRoot and doesn't do anything anymore but mess up your phone. Please help, I just gotta get rid of these viruses!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistFuror:
Nope. My model runs on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so I guess this method won't work. I succeeded in rooting with KingRoot, but it isn't enough to remove the malware, so I gotta do a full root... On the other hand, I found the malicious apps and froze them, so they're harmless now, but I don't really feel safe with them in my phone at all. Be careful if you see apps like FirewallService, TimeService and SecurityService.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokinwhisper:
Lol yeah I have never tried anything of the sort, I only download and install apk I use from either Google play store or through blackmark, very rarely do I download or install anything from any other source.

If ya don't mind me asking what do you mean by do "full root"? Wasn't aware there there was a different variety. My apologies to my ignorance in the subject...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistFuror:
I most probably expressed myself bad, since this is my first root attempt and don't know much about it, but as I understood, you can root to get only access to system apps, or root it in a way so you can flash a custom ROM or something like that (thus calling it full root)... Anyway, managed to get rid of the viruses completely!

Hello,

New here, just trying to make my way around.

I was planning on flashing BigBots ROM, but I don't know that it will be possible for me after reading through that thread.

My Tab shipped with 5.1.1 OJ1, so I'm not sure I can go to OH7. Can someone verify there?

If I can't install his ROM, I can still root, correct? And will the trip Knox, or only if I install a different kernel?

Thanks for your help!

You cannot downgrade to OH7 atm. But you can root,debloat and use xposed.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novioo:
Hello all

I've been watching the forum for years now and I admit there are plenty of nice guides ( I even rooted my z3 dual first try using the guides)

Now I have purchased Z5 premium dual e6883 model and it's been sitting in the box for almost 2 months now, waiting on a root guide

Most of the guides are either for different models like e6853 or for experts who are into testing and experiencing options

I know there are successful attempt to root this model so I ask if there is any comprehensive (complete) guide on how to get the root for this device?

I would appreciate if anyone can refer to a post or even a guide that I can follow

Model 6883

Android 5.1.1

Build 332.0.A.6.170

Any help please?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takumibunta:
I think the first thing that you want to know is, currently you can't root without your bootloader unlocked.

(Please Google search for more details regarding the "side effects" of the unlocked bootloader Sony smartphones, though tobias.waldvogel has created the DRM functions restoration mod.)

My advice, why don't you wait until Android 6 rolls out? Maybe more developers would focus on the latest ROM and bring out various ROOT methods (for unlocked bootloader and locked bootloader maybe?)

I wanted to ROOT my Z5 premium dual since the first day I bought it, but it is a sad thing to lose the DRM keys (my opinion), and unless the DRM functions restoration mod becomes "better", I will not unlock my bootloader just yet...
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giz02:
keep waiting.. I received 6.0.1 ota on an amazon z5p e6883. The phone worked famously.. .loved it.

Some compulsive and sick part of me wanted to root the phone.. no good reason.. the phone worked perfectly.

I didn't research enough to know that unlocking the bootloader wipes drm keys.. (my hastiness there, no one to blam)

I unlocked the bootloader -

Followed a few guides on this site (full of some knowledgeable folks, but most are tards.. including the site designer who decided to fill the site with shockwave flash ads..WTF)

I can safely say, NONE of the guides worked on this model.

So I've got no rooted phone, but lost DRM keys, so lost phone functionality.

Here's my understanding of the procedure, asuming the obvious.. you have fastboot, flashtool and adb all working

1. unlock bootloader

2. get modified 'premissive' kernel (there are a couple flying around.. I tried both Z5PDual_AndroPlusKernel_v5b.zip, and E6883_MM_ROOTABLE_PERMISSIVE_boot.img during different attempts..

3. get twrp (I tried both twrp-2.8.7.0-E6883-20151130_material.img and twrp-3.0.2-0-E6653-20160504.img. on different runs)

4. flash boot with permissive or andro plus

6. flash recovery with 2.8 or 3.0 twrps

7 reboot and watch You'll see the sony banner then yellow led... Press and hold vol down during yellow led)..

8. Blam. you're in twrp.. All good right.. time to install su.zip or su and drm repair zip...

gravy right..

not for me..

my phone doesn't boot at any point after this point. The OS starts, but I get either a continuous animated 'sony waves' banner OR Android is Starting.. starting apps. (I've waited a long time for this to progress but did not make it to OS..

My recovery..

Flash tool 9.0.22

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium(E6883). FW release : 32.2.A.0.224_R6C. Customization : India Generic_1299-6238

After this, I'm back in business, but without unlocked bootloader and no DRM keys or patch..

during debugging I tried several combinations and found that the OS will not boot after these two modified kernels are pushed

AND twrp won't install without the modified kernel

Would be appreciate if someone could guide me through this, without saying "did you unlock your boot loader..?"

Otherwise, I'd suggest taking that phone out of the box and using it stock.. it's a great phone.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foopy:
I'm going to side with Giz on this one. Take the phone out of the box and use it without trying to unlock the bootloader. It is a nice phone and the camera is pretty awesome as long as your DRM keys are intact. I'd love to unlock my bootloader too so I could root the phone but I'm not willing to loose some functionality to do so. One thing that really annoys me is those 2 worthless SIM card icons in the tray. They are worthless. All we need are the signal icons. Anyway that's my .02.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giz02:
Pardon the pun, but I think I found the "root" of the problem ... at least for myself anyway..

this is for those who *HAVE* unlocked the boot loader.

I couldn't get my 6.0.1 phone (32.2.A.0.224) rooted. I've got the E6883 Dual Sim.

To recap:

I've Unlocked

I've downloaded E6883 MM Permissive Kernel

I've Downloaded E6533 TWRP

What happens after this is that my phone will not ever boot. It just hangs on the animated xperia waves screen.

My Fix is to reflash with flashtool

During Flash AFTER installing the permissive kernel I noticed that the flash tool detected a .163 build number. I thought this was odd because I just flashed to .224

I believe the issue is that the 6883MM permissive boot loader (required to install twrp) was built from a 163 kernel AND the boot loader is not compatible with the system flash that loads up.

I believe all that is required for root on 6.0.1 is a new 6883MM permissive (built using a .224 parent).

Does any of this theory hold any water?

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foopy:
I haven't unlocked my bootloader or attempted to root the phone so I don't have any experience to go on for this particular phone. I do know that sometimes you have to do a factory reset even though you have just flashed a new kernel and/or system image. If you haven't done so you might try that. Also keep in mind after a factory data reset the phone usually takes considerably longer to boot up than normal the first time so be patient. There is a thread that contains a modified .224 kernel so make sure you are using that one and not the .163. After flashing everything and BEFORE first boot perform a factory data reset in recovery and see if that makes a difference.

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time for the response.

I did try the factory reset, then let the phone sit overnight on one occasion, but to no avail.

It turns out that there was a parallel thread using the modified 224 kernel that got me much futher along, but I had other issues with is, so I ended up rolling back to the 163 build on 6.0.0 with root and drmfix. I'll look again once in a few weeks I think. I took the time to get my phone set up again, at least this time I have root and the luxury of running titanium.. such a pain to get everything manually installed and configured.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Hello,

This is my first nexus, getting it tomorrow (12th) really looking forward to it, got the graphite one (getting a case so doesn't matter to me)

Im quite excited about the development, it looks quite busy which is great, I'd just like to ask if anyone has any screen off animations, like the CRT effect or the s6 slide to the edge animation, I'm pretty sure xposed provides these but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

I'll be rooting day one as I've always done on my phones and then off on the hunt for a rom.. Glad to be a part of the nexus gang for once, hope it's as good as I've heard.. :)

Second question was list view animations, again I'm aware that there are xposed mods XUI mod which can do these for me, but again I'd like to avoid them.. I think there will be some roms with this feature baked in but thought I'd ask anyway just incase there isn't..

Thanks chaps. :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
sorry I have no idea about the screen off animation, didn't look at it tbh but mind if I ask why would you avoid xposed if you will root?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Not OP, but I've also been avoiding xposed. My impression is that I've seen enough negative comments about unpredictable behavior when paired with Franco Kernel, I think Franco himself may have even commented on it, and if I have to choose between the two I'm going with FK. I wish xposed could be super stable and compatible and predictable though, because I'm dying for some of it's features and I don't want to leave the stock ROM.

ALSO, it wasn't immediately apparent the requirements for using it, and the processes to install it (there are multiple parts, right? there used to be), and where we go for an aggregated list of mods like Cydia on iOS. Seemed like too much work for too much potential buginess.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfly212:
Can't speak to the Franco kernel but I have used Xposed with Kylo, stock and God's kernel and have never had one issue with Xposed. You have to flash the installer with TWRP but otherwise its super easy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Its a fair question, and the answer is unpredictable battery drain, extremely poorly updated and Un optimized mods, obviously not all of them but a lot.

As I said in the OP the list view animation has been done, I've had it on CandyRom on my M9, it works really well but I haven't seen a screen off animation since kit kat, the stock animation now is to fade away, if you slow down animations within development settings you'll see it on locking your phone. I'd just like a one time mod to be able to alter that to something else.

Once you've got it on your phone you like it and get used to it then you miss it when it's not there.

Personally I would like to avoid xposed, it does have a negative impact on your battery for that I'm sure.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I actually wrote a tutorial on how to install xposed and the two above modules however after doing this and living with it vs not having xposed, same apps same rom. There was a huge difference in battery performance, hence why I'd like to avoid xposed altogether.
