[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-r-e-a-m-e-r:
Guys, Appreciate my persistence :)

While trying different FTF combinations, something went wrong and I got a bricked phone (Red light of death)

But, alas, I got it revived with the unbricking method for Z1. Thanks to [MENTION=3665957]the_laser[/MENTION] for making the software and [MENTION=3508509]Doom Slayer[/MENTION] for taking time to test and post it for people like me to use...

I am back to the first box again... Have the following issues:

- Can't boot any .518 or .534 FTF. Always end up in bootloop.

- Can't power off the phone using the power menu. Power down or Reboot don't work. Only get safely remove SD card now notification and the screen remains on.

- Whenever I flash a new version, the baseband shows up for a moment but it disappears as soon as the setup is finished.

- I am also looking at QPST and would appreciate if someone can provide me NV Values / QCN file for Xperia Z1 (MSM8974).

I am still hopeful someone has a solution for me :D

^Using a "toolkit" that's what you're doing wrong.

You say you have twrp flashed. So just download the su zip, boot to twrp and flash it. Done.

Hi all,

I've tried various RUU stock files for HTC One M7, however all have failed soon after inputting fastboot flash zip rom.zip in the fastboot rebootRUU section.

I've tried a few .exe files too, which indicate i'm trying to use the wrong cid/version. Currently the phone boots to HTC logo and hangs.

Anyhow, having found the getvar all command, i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This resolves lag -- what about the obscene battery drain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
it fixed the INSANE battery drain AND insane LAG. Bottom line, it fixes both, FOR ME! (And the other 16 phones I have installed it on for my employees!) - Full disclosure, I did install it on a 17th phone, but that phone turned out to have a physical defect, so I dont really count that one, heh!

With govtuner, I can go for at least 18 hours in performance mode profile and over a DAY in battery mode profile. (You'd select the profile that you want through GovTuner in a Terminal app on phone).

But it saved my arse, big time. BEFORE govtuner, I would only get 6-8 hours battery time if LUCKY.

Now, I get a HECK of a lot more! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] w0rdie:
I've got an S7E and S7 -- I rooted and 'tuned' the E but couldn't live with the battery drain, overheating and lag (in order of severity) so I've opted to leave my S7 unmodified but welcome a viable root solution.

Going to give your steps a try on the Edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Also...

L-SPEED will help in MANY WAYS to either increase or decrease your battery usage, depending on the settings you use. That will CERTAINLY help a lot to decrease battery drain, too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Thanks, that means a lot to me. I appreciate it! Let me know how it works.

FYI, I have mine set to performance mode and changed some of the settings in LSPEED to be even more performance enhancing than was suggested in the post / guide (link provided in that step to the settings suggested. Just scroll down to the LSPEED title). So my phone CAN run VERY hot. however, I've changed my phone to battery profile (within govtuner) and changed LSPEED settings to more battery conservation - taking a slight hit to performance - it ran cool and smooth and I did NOT notice ANY lag. Plus, my phones have close to 600 apps.

Oh, also... I would seriously suggest getting a program that'll allow you to stop certain apps from loading at start up. Forgot to add that to the directions. That's certainly helped as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] w0rdie:
Early read: performance seems on par with stock -- battery life isn't as solid as unmodified, but does appear to be much improved
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Thanks for the early read - Glad the mod worked. Those developers for govtuner are amazing! :)

Appreciate it!

Don't forget, try other governors and then pick a profile that u wanna use. I've found interactive in battery profile to give good batt life & that same governor in performance profile to be very fast - alongside L-SPEED, of course!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] FoxyDrew:
Have stayed farr away from root, for lag and battery issues. Will give this a try though, thanks for putting this together!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ororick:
Thanks for the guide sir. Heat is gone using interactive and balanced and lag is noticeably reduced. Great find. Out of curiosity, do govtuner tweaks set on reboot, or do I have to rerun and reset profile after I reboot the phone? Also would love to see what settings you use for most balanced performance under kernel auditor and govtuner.

Update: upon further review, this really really does work. For those of you who have held off rooting because of engboot lag/heat issues, rest assured this does a good enough job that it mitigates any problems I was having. I had followed all steps before trying this (flashing fixes v15, l speed, greenify, doze, amplify) but this is what did the trick. Thank you OP again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ickedmel:
Govtuner did help out I used to use it when I was rooted but I still had stability issues battery did improve but still drained to fast for me. I'm back on stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
I'm sorry to hear that! Plus, that's extremely odd - did you test other governor's on all the govtuners profiles? Did you flash the v15 fix on the PF2 firmware (if you did that, it WILL cause stability issues - I can attest to that, sadly)!

I've setup on 16 S7's and they all work like a charm - no joke! I've NEVER had a phone this fast in my life, frankly!

Further, I do suggest starting from a clean install as that usually works best. PLUS, PE1 firmware seems, so far, to be the best and most stable firmware when flashing v15 fix.

I have setup on the PF2 firmware on 2 S7's, but they were not my phones, and though th owners have told me on several occasions that their phones are much faster, etc... I cannot swear to that because I do not know and have not seen them for some time. But, it did work and has helped significantly!

Anyway, I'd be happy to help you if you want... I hate to hear it didn't work for you! :(

Really sorry about that!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] w0rdie:
This solution is quite solid -- I do notice quite a bit of lag when the phone wakes up from sleep but it subsides quickly. Well played swick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
That's odd... You should try changing setting from within LSPEED app to change that behavior. It may not be possible depending on the profile you're using and the governor your using with govtuner, but... I know my phone has NO LAG, literally. (I'm swearing on my grandfather's gave & my 2 uncles' gaves, too) Seriously!

You may want to TRY my settings from OP - I know they will use more battery, BUT. See if that solves and and work back from there. Maybe you can find what is causing the lag when waking up, and fix it? just a suggestion...

In any case, I am glad it worked (mostly) for you. At least I know that ALL my phones are rooted and have ZERO LAG. That's all I care about. Plus, if you get a MOPHIE case for your S7 you can have WELL OVER 24 hours of battery life/run time!

BTW, the S6 mophie cases work JUST as well as the s7 mophie case - the only down side to the S6 mophie case - they do NOT have wireless charging, the S7 mophie case does! HOWEVER, the S6 case is far superior because it fully locks the phone into place. Whereas the S7 mophie case has a frame that you snap in place around the phone - the S7 mophie case provides FAR LESS "protection" because a small drop will cause the frame to pop off instantly! - Just thought I'd let you know in case you were wondering... heh

Swick

PS. LMK if you'd like me to help - tbh, I'm not sure what I can do to help, but am more than happy to try! But working back from my faster settings from within LSPEED should do the trick! LMK what happens!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] davidisflash:
Awesome! What screen on time are you getting? With BT, wifi always on, location services, bunch of data apps, whether on unrooted U firmware, rooted or V firmware, I always seem to hover around 4 hours screen on time. My phone does sleep well though in all cases (90%+ deep sleep if untouched for an hour). With these settings OP, would you say your phone is now faster than stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Hey, real quick - take a look on the OP in this thread - there are 2 settings that are missing under the kernel tweaks in my LSPEED settings! (Those settings are a big deal, too! SORRY!!!!)

I really can't answer your question because I ONLY run my BT for a few hours and my WiFi is on all the time. My screen brightness is set to auto (but I try to keep it as low as possible).

All I can say is test EACH governor (android has a LOT of governors that it supports) with govtuner's profiles and see what combination is best for YOU. It's possible that you'll get results similar to mine, where I actually got a near doubling of the battery. (Again, it was in conjunction with LSPEED & GOVTUNER and doing LOT of testing / tweaks).

As to your other question - HECK YES, my phone is FAR FASTER than stock. In fact, when I loaded a large spreadsheet (in excel) it would take about 30-40 seconds to load at best. Now, my phone loads these spreadsheets up in about 10 seconds (or less, though that's unusual)!

So, yes - it is FAR FASTER than stock, and I'm not understating things at all (nor am i exaggerating).

Sorry I couldn't be of more help... But I am EXTREMELY confident that you'll get an improvement - I just do not know how much!

Hi [MENTION=1452913]swick[/MENTION], thanks for the comprehensive guide. I'm excited to try it.

The only problem I had with the steps was with Universal Init.D: it was crashing when I tried to run it. :confused: No SuperSu popup, nada. I recorded a logcat to troubleshoot.

It turns out I was using JRummy's BusyBox for Android, but after I installed BusyBox from stericson, it started working, popping up a SuperSu permissions request. Must have been some missing file or something.

Thanks again for putting this together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] neilwashere:
When you enter su govtuner in terminal what exactly are you supposed to see? Nothing comes up when I enter it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
No prob, happy to help! I was bound and determined to find a fix, or make one, because of thedarn lag. Thankfully govtuner works! :)

On another note, I am using jrummy's busybox without trouble. you probably just needed to reinstall busybox from within the jrummy 's app again to update links? (Just a guess though)!

I'm glad its finally working for you! Make sure you test each governor & profile to see what works best for you! There are a LOT of combinations, so enjoy! heh

Can anyone confirm that battery drain is no longer a thing? Is the battery life on par with stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
That's a hard question to answer. If you have it set with my INSANELY FAST settings, and have luck on your side... You couldon't have it run longer than stock, or it'll run for just 7 or 8 hours! So...

You've really gotta play with it.

Like I mentioned, I'm getting a little under a day atm.

In fact, I was fully charged AND (full disclosure) had my mop hoe pack on - and I unplugged from wall @ 8am and battery was at 37% around 2am this morning.

Before my tweaks, I was getting around 18 hours on stock!

Also, please note that some apk's you'd like to remove shouldn't be. One apk's in particular is actually a battery helper for lack of a better way of putting it, per androids site. When I debloated my phone with the Debloat flash, my battery usage went to about 4-8 hours.

Now, that APK may also serve over functions, but still, keep that in mind. I believe the APK I'm talking about is BEACON.APK or something like that. Anyway, just a heads up!!! :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
I don't know why, but... my battery stayed at 100% today WITHOUT it changing at ALL for the first 5 hours of the day! In fact, I'm amazed - totally bizarre, & it happens almost ALL the time!! I ONLY had WiFi on, NO Bluetooth was on... I used the S7 a bit by sending text messages, playing music, & email, though I still do NOT understand how, or why, it's happened, but my phone was on since 830am today (it's 12am now)!: will keep ya onformed on my gaming results! :)

I didn't use greenify or anything he suggested except bootmanager, etc... instead, I use LSPEED & BOOTMANAGER (xposed module), govtuner, and that's it - HOWEVER, I have a few apps & flash able tweaks I'm gonna try & will keep yall informed!

Lastly, got one question for yall. I installed BUSYBOX in the system/xbin. Should I install it elsewhere? I was told it doesn't matter. If it does matter, any help / suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Hey Swick,

I currently have my phone setup following psouza4's guide but my phone still lags a bit so I'm looking to do a complete wipe and trying out your method. Have you used the other apps he recommends (amplify, leandroid, force doze)? Or is there no need?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
[MENTION=3339158]cjlopez213[/MENTION]

IF u revert/Odin to PE1, I've found no real need for thone apps, though I can tell you THEY DO WORK VERY WELL for many peoplemails, BUT they didn't help nearly as much as I had hoped for me! On top of ALL that, the instructions I I put in OP really worked great for me! Lol (obviously).

Also, i cannot stress this enough, BOOT MANAGER - An EXPOSED MODULE - really SHOULD/MUST be installed, and then follow my guide / instructions with what to do. Make sure u get it through the xposed app!!!

Finally, something u may also wanna try is playing within LSPEED kernel tweaks between default, light & heavy! YMMV, but depending on what is selected, it COULD be very helpful! Maybe increase or create another swap file (there is an app that is really good but is a few $$$ on play store), and make sure your seeder is at the MAX OPTION within LSPEED as it REALLY seems to get rid of ALL HEAT ISSUES! And it helps with lag, too! 0

I DO HAVE A FEW MORE TWEAKS TO ADD TO OP! Start with what I have on OP, and see how u like, etc... I'll likely update tomorrow! FINALLY, I know! :)

As to your battery time, I really can't answer your question, sadly, and I WISH I could! However,

The fact is many people get faster, insanely longer run times, extremely stable without stutter OR lag, and cooler(temperature) phones when using my guide to tweak your S7. Furthermore, it really depends on the couch governor selected, the governor profile within govtuner, LSPEED settings selected, (you should change them & see what will improve - or harm - your phones lag, battery run time, etc...! Finally, there are usually MANY apk's you should stop from loading (download & then use the xposed module BOOTMANAGER & follow OP!)

Anyway, more tweaks coming tmmrw (sunday), & you'll probably like them, too! These really should make your phone truly incredible! It can make the phone do the impossible - run the way it should, and its supposed to! ;)

Please LMK if I can help with anything!

Ps. I'm trying to test multi rom app in order to to test different tweaks on an OS I can screw up & have no consequences! ;)

I have to say. I was skeptical at first. But now, I'm amazed. On a completely stock s7, I wouldve had to plug it it to charge about an hour ago ????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Added an update to OP -

This update can and likely WILL SPEED UP YOUR PHONE. However, it will most likely DRAIN your battery at a rather INCREDIBLY FAST rate, depending on what profile you choose within the app! Let me know if this helps or hams you! Again, you take FULL responsibility doing these tweaks - not me! I'm just suggesting something that MAY help! (And I hope it works, frankly!) heh

Hey Everyone,

Got a question for you - have a problem and I'm certain others have run into this & HOPING / PRAYING there is a simple fix for this (although, I'm near certain there isn't)! Anyway, here is my question...

I have a microSD card plugged into my S7 (Verizon Variant). This SD card REQUIRES 2 partitions - first partition is FAT32, NTFS, exFAT. Second partition MUST be either ext2 or ext4! However, Marshmallow sees both partitions, but ONLY mounts the first partition (FAT32 / NTFS /exFAT), but says the second EXT2 or EXT4 partition is corrupted. I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun with trying to get that second partition to be mountable, but it WONT! Maybe I'm missing something, but ANDROID MARSHMALLOW will only accept, for some reason, exFAT, vfat, ntfs, fat32/fat16, because they show up perfectly readable / mountable. The second partition as an ext2, ext3, ext4 partition is NOT mountable and ALWAYS shows as corrupt! Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions? I've even tried using mount2SD and other apps, but they do not work, sadly. I found one thread but it was for android 4.2.2 - and this is about Android M (6.0.1)! Can ANYONE help? I know this isn't exactly the best place to put this help request, but I'm so desperate...

Thanks for ANY help / suggestions!

Hey swick,

I just realized that if you install a kernel changing app it slows down my phone and crashes it a lot. I uninstalled it and updated gov tuner to the newest version and my phone is faster than ever. Just thought I'd let you know about that. I used Kernel Auditor and EX Kernel Manager. Set both apps to ondemand first and it felt sluggish so I went performance and the phone would crash too many times. I haven't tried your newest tweak but it sounds scary lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Its really not a scary tweak...

It just creates more swap (virtual ram) ONLY if u need it! It does work and WILL speed your phone up but it will drain ur phone battery very quickly since it's accessing the external memory! The only thing I need to be careful of is when u create a swap partition on your external Microsoft card. Other than that, it's relatively VERY safe! But if u need to use it a lot, then you will most likely NOT get a full day of use out of the phone... but u never know!

Glad all is working for u!!!!! :)
