[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderGed:
Hello, I've never flashed phones before, so I might have just make some obvious mistake, that I'm not aware of.

After using my XPS 4.3 for over 2 years it started lagging, so I wanted to switch to some custom ROM.

First I wanted to try XperianZe v3.0.5 , but after 2 days of constant fails, anything will do.

First I wanted to root, but Towelroot doesn't work for me (I'm currently staying in China, so I suspect it might be the Great Firewall of China blocking it's connection attempts), but I found another way. I downloaded newest Flashtools (0.9.22.0) and ftf images from the post, but flashtools doesn't see them, so I downloaded an older version of Flashtools (0.9.18.6) and flashed the kernel which made my phone fall into a bootloop. I downloaded whole image C5303_12.0.A.2.254_CE.ftf of stock version 4.1, flashed C530X_12.0.A.1.257 kernel on top of it, and run DooMLoRD script, which gave me root access.

Now I installed CWM from here and copied XperianZeV3.zip to internal storage. I disconnected my phone, entered recovery, factory reseted and chose install from zip. It doesn't matter which recovery I used: CWM Touch/ TWRP/ Philz - all gave the same result:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/XperianZeV3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

This is latest version of CWM_SP_4.4.1 that I could find.

Unable to bypass this problem I decided to unlock bootloader and while doing so get MoKee Marshmallow 60.1 . But Sony website told me that my particular phone cannot be unlocked. I tried to unlock it anyway, but fastboot doesn't see my device when it eneters flash-boot (and automatically exits after some time). I couldn't install Flashtool drivers, because of some error with no message, it might be because of Windows 10, maybe? Anyway as I understand from this tutorial there's no unofficial way of unlocking my phone.

The only thing that I found about Status 7 problem is to update CWM (but I'm using latest one, aren't I?), tell the cellphone to ignore the problem (but I'm afraid of bricking it). I don't really understand what is this problem related to, other that name change between Kitkat and earlier systems, but I don't know how to make it work.

Am I just doing something wrong?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Maltego:
Xposed for S7

Hey, this is the link from @lahegry that worked for me. https://mega.nz/#F!b9hG1Y4Q!z4xHvUzAjjmr16_oHWAjIw

Instructions:

0) Be rooted (duh)

1) Flash .zip using FlashFire(best) or ODIN

2) Install the .apk provided

3) Check to see if it worked properly by going to the Framework tab

4) If you got the green, enjoy! If not,check to make sure root is properly installed and your FlashFire has proper access. Then re-flash and try the process over again.

Let me know if you need any help! :)

Thank you.. I see the xposed apk.. but what is the other one?

Thank you.. I see the xposed apk..but what's the other file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] Maltego:
Xposed for S7

The other file is the flashable .zip file.

Assuming you already have your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge rooted, you need to install FlashFire from the Google Play store.

After you have installed FlashFire, click the little plus button and select 'Flash ZIP or OTA'. Then select that zip file you downloaded from my site.

After that, it will pop up a box. Leave the settings as they are and continue, then click 'Flash'

Your screen WILL black out for a bit and take a while to boot. That is NORMAL. Please, DO NOT PANIC. The app will warn you this as well.

Do not install the apk file until you have flashed the zip

Let me know if you need anymore help! :)

Leave a thanks if I am helping you :P

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M] xXNicoYazawaXx:
Hi there,

I use YouTube ad away, for obvious reasons.

Xkik for extra kik features such as disabling read receipts and slight theming choices

Whatsapp emoji replacer - choice of what emojis you want in kik, doesn't show for the other party though

Whatsapp extensions - more features for whatsapp such as always show online and more

Rootcloak- for apps that won't let you use them if you are rooted

iFont- change fonts, not only system wide but on a per-app level

Most of these are for theming, and there are probably more I would use, just haven't found them yet.

Xposed working for Nougat with stang5litre 5.0 Edition s7 Edge N Rom

Hello,

This is a update from my last post of Xposed install, no need to do any flash, just install Xposed Installer 3.1.2. I'm running the S7 Edge G935V with Xposed working great. Downloaded Xposed installer by Rovo89 from this link XposedInstaller_3.1.2.apk or "This Link" then updated Xposed Framework to 88.1, works amazingly with nougat!

Here is a helpful link "working modules for Nougat Xposed" I was also able to get Greenify working with Xposed, It will only work with this Beta version, you can get it from this link Greenify.v3.7.1.apk, I have also tried Amplify, convert it to System App and change all files permission to 777, then set "SELinux Toggler" to "PERMISSIVE" mode, reboot your device, once the device has booted back up, confirm the change. I've installed AFWall+ and its working well. One of the apps I installed called Xprivacy has had to many glitches and made the system slow, I wouldn't recommended installing Xprivacy. The new stang5litre 5.0 Edition s7 Edge N Rom runs great, love it!

If you notice a lag, then do a cache clean. I use TB to clean cache, system logs and Dalvik cache, now ram is back to normal. I also use a application from play store called "HEBF Optimizer Root" this application aims to increase the performance of your device.

Hopefully this helps :good:

Now to figure out how to get phone back to working. Never had to do this without twrp before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
My mom accidentally upgraded her Note to Marshmallow. She hates stock because of how slow it runs. I've had [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]'s CM on my Note for a while now and I really like it. She's willing to try it out, but now that she's upgraded to MM, there's no root.

Is it possible to flash the full Stock 5.1.1 tar, or do I have to wait for KingRoot? I remember someone saying, in one of the threads I'm subscribed to, that it could be downgraded, but I want to make sure, since this time it isn't my phone. I would try it myself and maybe soft brick my phone, but mine is already happily running CM.

The phone should be on the CPF3 firmware right now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
Sorry to bump this, but it would be really great to have a definitive answer. Everything's backed up, but I still don't want to hard brick the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
OK, so I went ahead and tried flashing the StockRestore BPA1 firmware. That led to this error: [tz] fused 2 > Binary 1. Apparently I can't downgrade the bootloader, and that's why I got that error. I'm now trying to flash the N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_VZW firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
That one worked. I was able to boot into 5.1.1, but since it still had the 6.0.1 bootloader (I think this is the reason), KingRoot wouldn't work. Using the Kingo Root desktop app (it's been updated; looks a lot nicer) allowed me to root and unlock.

[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
Im not responsible for any behavior like the Note 7, if its explodes while applying the tweak its not my fault!

This tweak will edit a simple file so that the minimum cores get decreased and we wont get unnecessary battery drain

ROOT ONLY!

Manual Guide:

1. Make sure your device has root acces,

2. Install Root Browser from the playstore.

3. Open the app and navigate to

> sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/core_ctl

4. Search for the file

min_cpus

make sure the permissions are set to rw-r-r (it showsup under the file name).

5. Open

min_cpus

and change the number '4' to '0', This will say to the CPU that a minimal of 1 cpu core is needed to be active instead of 4 all the time.

6. Save the file and navigate back to

> sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/core_ctl

and change the permissions back to r-r-r.

7. Your device will still run 'smooth' and safe some battery! You have to apply this every single reboot or need to make a init.d script and make it run every single reboot..

You can also use the provided script in the "Attached Files" section. If you use a script runner you dont have to follow the Manual guide everytime you boot.

Share what you think, any feedback is appreciated!
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] danino22000:
Thanks, so i did the steps 1 to 6, and the contents of that folder disappear, is that normal? I restart the phone and the files appear and i did the same steps the files disappear again.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
What content? Im not sure what you mean..
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] danino22000:
The files inside core_ctl folder disappear.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
It shouldnt what device do you have Kiw l21? MM or LP? Open kernel adiutor or something else and see how the cores behave make sure battery settings is on Performance. Not much what i can do other wise..
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] danino22000:
Kiw l24 MM last update from honor UK support page. For example in kernel adiutor if i want to change the min frequency to 200mhz or any other, the settings won't apply, it return to the original frequency after few secs.

SOT ?? [MENTION=6669873]Demian3112[/MENTION]
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
You cant set big cluster. For small cluster go to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/cpufreq/ and look for min freq set permissions to rw-r-r open it change value 800000 to 200000 save it change permissions back to r-r-r
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
Havent measured. I safe about 3-8% in an hour doing the same stuff youtube, google, whatsapp and facebook etc. It really depends on what you are doing.

Little cluster runs idle 800mhz with the tweak 200mhz

Big cluster has 8 cores active all the time, with this tweak 0 in idle/simple tasks. It only enables when needed

Just try it out yourself. If you dont like it remove kernal adiutor restart device and tweaks are undone
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] halfacannoli:
doesn't seem like little clusters settings are sticking in Kernel aduiter. When changes to 200mhz, it automatically get changed back to 800mhz min
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
Make site battery manager is on performance.. i dont Have this issue and i Just upgrades to B330
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] halfacannoli:
Thanks for the fast response. However, that did not work for me initially. I was able to resolve the issue and it looks like I was able to set the frequency for the big cores as well. As a preface, I have the L24 and updated to MM EMUI 4 through the zip that was found on the hihonor UK website. After the update I did a factory reset. I am just letting you know because some of things you described didn't work while other things did.

What did work was setting the Mincpu to 0, so that when idle only 1 core is running. This worked great, so thanks for that! However, in Kernel Aduiter, I had to set the governor to Interactive for it to use the other Big cores when I am using the phone. If I set it to ondemand, the other 3 big cores does not activate, only core 1 is used along with the 4 little cores.

What did not work per your instructions were setting the min frequencies for the little cores. Yes, I changed the Power option to performance, but every time I exited the kernel auditer, it would revert back to a min frequency of 800mhz.

After tinkering with the phone for a couple of days, I was able to set the min frequency to 200mhz for BOTH big cores and little cores and it seems that both settings are sticking. Throughout the 2 days, I did many changes so I have yet to narrow it down to what changes I did that made both changes stick. When I have some time I will try to reproduce the results and post on how I got it to work. I would also like to give it a few days to make sure that the changes stick.

it disappears because permission was changed to r-r-r which is read only. change permission to include w (write) and execute, and you'll see it again

Can someone make an script to keep this installed upon boot? Thanks.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:

[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Mirror-Mirror:
Nice tweak on changing 4 to 0 at min_cpus but Root Browser (w/Root and Grant) refused to save it so i used X-plore by Michal Baclk Version: 3.86.02 Build Date: 7/16/16 and it took perfectly!

Thanks for the other kernel adjustments too.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Dead_Dude:
anyone ever make that bat file?

And has anyone tried setting CPU4 the same way as suggested for CPU0? By default, it is set to 1.

I'm also a little concerned I may not have understood the directions properly...

From what I read, it looks like you are ignoring the large cores and only modifying the little ones? Am I understanding that correctly?

And why can't we just tick the 'use this on boot' in kernel aduitor? Why does it need to be reset upon every boot? I mean, we are doing these steps with ROOT access, are we not? Shouldn't the file stay modified? I am quite confused... but very eager to get more battery life out of this... was shocked to see that all 8 cores are always on... and my device NEVER hit deep sleep or any of the slower frequencies all day!

No wonder I can drop to 85% within an hour. Sheesh... this blows.

Ok, I played with it some more...

Looks like Root access has nothing to do with modifying that file. Yes, you need root to modify it... but it never stays changed after a reboot. This tells me that this area must be a hardware toggle area. Meaning, there's some place with the default value stored, and is loaded from there to this location during boot.

I did my best to follow all these steps.

upon reboot, every single thing I put in is lost. Kernel Aduitor seems to lose my settings even if I check 'apply on boot'.

furthermore, all 8 cores are still on.

True, I *do* now see that all the big cores aren't *always* on... but it isn't very different from before doing these steps (at least now I can see a core or 2 shutoff for all of about a tenth of a second)

The little cores... they looked like they took the settings the best... until I closed Kernel Aduitor and reopened it... all the settings reverted.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Mirror-Mirror:
Yep, waiting with anticipation for some guru who is best at putting something together to set all those freq.'s and such that will apply all of them and keep settings.

Very useful battery mod if it can be made to apply and hold up after restarts.
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Puddi_Puddin:
Yes the hotplug drivers and govenors change it back this is something within the kernal thst you cant edit without needing to flash another rom.. Im on CM13 and batttery has improved quite a bit.. Just give it a try its my daily driver now and its smooth as hell..
[Honor 5X Themes, Apps and Mods] Mirror-Mirror:
Without or before flashing a better ROM, did this item ever get worked out whether by another way to make settings stick or a Huawei small update? Thanks for any advice.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zreon:
I was just looking at some pictures I have recently taken with my Z3c and noticed there is a lot of noise. I haven't looked at any pictures on a computer recently, but I know it is a lot more than it used to be.

I am running Slimm 2.0 and have never unlocked my bootloader.

When I type *#*#7378423#*#* I am shown the following:

MARLIN [Unknown Error][Active]

CKB [Unknown Error][Active]

WIDEVINE [Unknown Error][Active]

Everything else is [Key OK][Active]

I ran the Backup TA just now to see if it would throw any errors, however it completed successfully. Is it possible I still have them on there, they are just not active for some reason?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
I checked against my settings as I am running Slim 2 as well, but on my phone they all say [OK][Active].

Did you use flashtool at all?

I'm guessing you don't have a backup of the TA partition.

Since you haven't technically unlocked it, you could put a stock rom on try and get Sony service involved.

I called the helpdesk when my screen cracked, it was a tiny hairline crack I could hardly see, they made me try a few things, PC Companion repair etc etc. Then gave me the address of the service centre to send it to with a helpdesk code. 5 days later I got the phone back with a new screen, free. It's always worth trying the telephone helpline rather than taking it into a Sony shop, they are paid to try and fix it, whereas the shop just want you to buy something. Make sure you register the phone first.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zreon:
I did purchase the phone used (so they may have unlocked/relocked the booloader and lost the DRM), however I don't remember the pictures being this grainy a few months ago. I could be imagining things though.

I have used flashtool before. Never to unlock the bootloader though.

The only backup I have is the one I ran earlier, which I am assuming doesn't contain the DRM even thought it did not throw any errors.

From what I have read, even Sony is unable to restore the DRM on the phone if they are gone.

I am thinking I may just unlock the bootloader and try out the DRM fix that is floating around. Does this sound like my best option?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cirra92:
Well since the the DRM keys throw errors in service menu, my guess is that they are gone, I think you should go for unlocked bootloader and DRM fix, it does work, but before applying the fix, make sure you do a Factory reset (/data, cache and Dalvik cache) and then flash a DRM fix. And note that even with original DRM keys, noise reduction works ONLY on 8mp and not on 15mp/20mp, that's where people get confused.

However you can root the device on stock KK, do a TA backup and unlock the bootloader, but since the keys are most probably gone, I think you shouldn't bother with that.
