Please help have root questions and setcpu question

Everytime I try to run setcpu i select the hero option since Eris is not listed then it just takes me to a black screen and force closes. So I did the auto detect and it does the same thing force close. Can someone please help me? My friend rooted my phone so I know very little so please be specific!
Thank You

ok, first off you might want to uninstall setcpu to get rid of any previous settings you have. then reinstall it and follow these instructions from a previous post
1. Install SetCPU, if you haven't already. It's available here on XDA for free and for $0.99 on the Market.
2. In SetCPU, choose the "HTC Hero/Tattoo [MSM7k Turbo]" option from the device selection menu. The CPU will happily ignore you, but setting it to this means that you won't enter a reboot loop after patching when SetCPU starts and overclocks your CPU entirely too much.
3. Make sure the "Set on Boot" option is unchecked, until you're absolutely certain that the settings you've got won't freeze your phone. Also, turn off profiles.
4. Flash the latest kernel-overclock-update-v*.zip below, using your favorite method, and boot your phone. Note that this kernel update will not overclock your phone until SetCPU tells it to -- the default policy is 245.76MHz min, 528MHz max, ondemand.
5. Start SetCPU, hit menu, and go to device selection. This time, select "Autodetect Settings". Change the governor to "performance" (which means it will always use the highest frequency in the range), and start incrementing the max up from 528MHz, one step at a time, releasing your finger each step (SetCPU applies the change when you let go of the slider), until your phone freezes.
6. Remember the bit about not checking the "Set at Boot" option? This is why. Reboot your phone (this will probably involve pulling the battery, if the phone didn't reboot on its own), and start SetCPU again. SetCPU very nicely shows you the last settings you saved, but does not apply them, which is nice because those settings will lock your phone. Lower the max setting to something that won't lock your phone, put the governor back to "ondemand", and set up profiles how you like.
after you have done all of this you can then have set at boot checked

No idea how to do that or what rom to pick. My frined literally did everything yesterday I sat there and played xbox lol.

so you really have no idea what was done to your phone?? and the roms are simple to install, look at the different rom threads, see which one you think you might like and follow the instructions on installing them. make sure you do a nand backup before you install them though. instructions for all of this can be found in this forum

first download a good ROM like Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0, unless you already have (it's a .zip file).
Put that on your SD card (do you know how to do this? if not, then stop here, and ask, otherwise go to the next step).
Turn off your phone. Hold the VOLUME UP botton while powering it back on. It will boot into Recovery. Go to Backup/Restore. do a 'nand backup' of your phone. It takes 2 minutes or so.
Then use VOL DOWN to go to the last menu (it tells you at the top to do this). Then go to Wipe and then select Factory/data reset. Then also from that menu choose Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Then press VOL DOWN to go to the last menu (it tells you at the top to do this). Then select 'Flash Zip from SD Card'. Select the .zip file you downloaded (Eris_Official_1.0OC.zip or whatever it's called). (It'll take five minutes to flash).
Then Reboot the phone (this will take 5-10 minutes, don't worry how long it takes. Any time you wipe dalvik cache, this will happen. it's supposed to).
Your phone will start up brand new.
If you've gotten this far, then you probably want to flash that kernel you have, Zanfur's overclock kernel. That one's a little better than what comes with Ivan's Eris_Official. If you get this far, then come back and post again.

[How-to] Wipe your battery stats

Since there is no such option in the recovery menu, I thought it would be useful to let you know how to reset your battery stats. It comes handy every now and then in order to calibrate the battery meter. IT'S IN NO WAY a magic formula to improve your battery life, but it's beneficial after a series of ROMs flashing or several charges cicles.
You need to be rooted :
1) drain your battery completed until the tab shuts down
2) charge your tab ( with the tab OFF ) completely
3) turn the tab ON (still with the charger connected ) and run Root Explorer
4) go to : /data/system/batterystats.bin and delete batterystats.bin
5) turn the tab OFF
6) disconnect from the charger
7) turn the tab ON
DONE !
If you do not have Root Explorer you can use the Terminal app of your choice :
1) drain your battery completed until the tab shuts down
2) charge your tab ( with the tab OFF ) completely
3) turn the tab ON (still with the charger connected ) and run the Terminal App
4) type the command : rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
5) turn the tab OFF
6) disconnect from the charger
7) turn the tab ON
DONE !

nice share bro thanks.

Thanks a lot! This solved battery drain issue after flashing Overcome Kratos!

I don't think it is necessary to wipe battery stats.
I changed my rom, battery life is pretty good!

Thx, useful!

Just wondering, your procedure is similar but not identical to others that have been posted, e.g.:
1. Power off your phone and charge it until the indicator turns green.
2. Boot to recovery mode and go to console (or adb shell) and type:
mount -a [enter]
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin [enter]
3. Reboot the phone and run it until it shuts off by itself. (TIP: Turn your screen brightness all the way up and change the Screen Timeout setting to “Never timeout.” This will drain your battery very quickly.)
4. Recharge the phone completely and then use it as you normally would.

Specifically the ordering of the complete drain and the full charge are reversed. Does it matter?

I also asked myself about that whenever i read such advices. I guess the most important thing is to have the tab recreate the stats file when it is loaded to the max. It will anyway afterwards need some time (read: charging cycles) until everything runs smooth again. But if the new stats file would be created with less than 100% charged then it would never get charged full thereafter.

nice share thanks.

this is a common issue, if you install a rom with less than full battery charge (though going back to stock firmware works at any batt %)
Not all tabs have CWM working to wipe battery stats from the advanced menu or the console. Root explorer/ES File explorer, and the ADB shell option work with stock rooted Tabs no matter if they are GSM/CDMA or have CWM..
Always glad to see good info posted up.

Hi guys,
I'm still new to my SGT.. Wondering is there any way to "reset/re-calibrate" battery without opening the unit (to unplug batt) and or if I don't have my SGT Rooted yet?
Mine is dropping to 3% from 35-40%... without any warning..
Thanks..

no batterystats.bin
Hi Guys/Gals,
I envy you I don't have the batterystats.bin file and I don't have any folders or files inside /data. I also have search the said file in vain. I have the default OS which is 2.2/2.3. Any ideas why is this so? Or is there any other way to totally wipe out the battery stats? TIA(thanks in advance)

It shouldn't be able to be done on a stock phone...nor should it be needed. You need root to see the data\system folder which contains batterystats.bin

I've read somewhere that wiping your battery stats is useless, because that's what all roms do on reboot... is it true?
Anyways, I've flashed several roms and haven't had any battery issues.

Multiple posts on the subject .
Wiping battery stats does nothing for your battery .
Recalibration is via the battery itself after a few charges .
Nothing to stop anyone wiping the stats .

The need to wipe battery stats died with Android FroYo (or maybe it was already back at Eclair?). When you charge your battery to 100% and pull the cord, then the stats are reset.

GUIDE: How to Install Marshmallow on G925I coming from Lollipop ROM

I have seen many people on the ROM forums saying that you can't install Marshmallow ROMs on a G925I, or asking how to install.
Well I can say that yes it is possible and yes it is really straight forward and easy to do.
So I have decided to do it myself (prior to this I was also on Lollipop ROM) and took down the steps (literally step by step) to help others.
Please note: This will trip Knox.
What you need first:
1. Official Stock Marshmallow ROM for G925I
Download from here
2. Odin (I used 3.10.7)
3. Arter97's TWRP 3.0 recovery fro G925FI
Download from here
4. A custom ROM (I used Pure Stock ExtraLite Rom). Copy to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup (EFS, nandroid, I also copied my files like photos, documents, etc to my PC)
2. Turn off device
3. Power on device directly in recovery (volume up + home + power)
4. Plug USB cable to PC and device
5. Go to Mount and enable MTP
6. Delete folders you don't need (I only kept DCIM, Bluetooth, downloads, documents, etc)
6.1 In DCIM, delete .thumbnails. I also deleted all the other folders with a . in front of them
7. Disable MTP and pull the USB cable from your device
8. Go to Home and click on Wipe
9. Swipe to factory reset
10. Click back and then advanced wipe
11. Select dalvik cache, cache, data and system (no need to wipe internal)
12. Swipe to wipe
13. Turn off device
14. Power on device directly in download mode (volume down + home + power)
15. Press volume up to continue in download mode
16. Start ODIN in administrator
17. Connect USB cable and make sure your device is recognised by ODIN
18. Click on AP and select G925I Marshmallow Stock ROM
19. Click start (it will take some time to flash)
20. Once finished, let it boot into new Marshmallow Stock ROM
21. You can unplug the USB once it is booting
22. Once booted, quickly setup your phone (probably dont need to but i wanted to see it first)
23. Once booted, turn off device completely
24. Power on device directly in download mode (volume down + home + power)
25. Press volume up to continue in downlod mode
26. This time uncheck auto reboot
27. Connect USB cable and make sure your device is recognised by ODIN
28. Click on AP and select Arter97's TWRP 3.0 (.tar.md5)
29. Click start
30. Once finished, unplug the USB cable from device
31. Press volume down + home + power until phone turns off (screen black). Release the keys and immediately press volume up + home + power to boot phone into recovery
32. Agree to TWRP's modification of the system message (swipe to allow)
33. Plug USB cable in device and click on mount
34. Once again delete files you don't need (folders with a . in front of them)
35. Disable MTP and unplug USB cable from device
36. Go to Home and click on Wipe
37. Swipe to factory reset
38. Click back and then advanced wipe
39. Select dalvik cache, cache, data and system (no need to wipe internal)
40. Swipe to wipe
41. Go to Home and select Install
42. Select ROM and swipe to flash
43. Reboot once installation is complete
44. Enjoy!

Yes it should work. That is the build that I flashed to switch to Marshmallow from Lollipop.

Thanks, was looking for the instructions, just to make sure and will do it soon and update on the result.
UPDATE: Worked like a charm ... thanks. BTW, trips KNOX for those who cares.

Flashing anything not signed by Samsung like a custom recovery, kernel or ROM will trip Knox. Rooting also trips Knox.

Knox for me was already tripped before flashing MM but yes this will trip Knox

Awesome tutorial, very easy to follow indeed.
I however, instead of downloading a custom ROM fom XDA decided to download the stock Nepal 6.0.1 from sammobile. Since installing that ROM I have noticed very very poor battery life. Almost losing 5% of battery every 30 minutes SoT, this compared to losing 1% per 30 mins of SoT back on stock 5.1.1 Australia XDA.
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this at all? Maybe a fix? Do you know of a better custom MM ROM with better battery life?
Thanks

Well that's what I did. I downloaded the stock MM ROM from sammobile in order to get MM boot loader and modem. And then was able to use a custom ROM.
Not wanting to be rude but are you sure you have your stats right? 1% of battery loss per 30 minutes of SOT is impossible.. that means you'll be getting 5 hours SOT per 10% battery loss..
Right now I'm sitting on 90% battery life with a SOT of 30 minutes with hotspot on, browsing the internet, XDA and facebook.. battery life should get better but in the past few days I've been getting over 4 hours SOT per cycle. Which is roughly what I got on LP.

I'll admit the 1% per 30 mins SoT was a tiny exaggeration/estimate, but not far off.
I noticed the poor battery this morning when I woke up. I took my phone off charge (100% at the time, after an ~8 hour charge), I muted some alarms and put my phone back down, roughly 30 minutes later I got out of bed, checked my phone and noticed it was down to 96% without even using it.
As I've used it more and more through the day (as my charge gets lower) I am noticing an improvement in battery discharge so I guess I'll just let it go flat and give it a fresh charge and go from there.
I may just be focusing on the battery percentage more now because, new firmware/features ect.. But I still feel like I am losing 3-4% more now then I was on Lollipop.
But just to clarify, using the Nepal ROM on an Australian phone wouldn't be draining battery would it? I can't really think why it would, but worth asking.

I believe this is because sometimes your phone may want to boot straight into the firmware after flashing certain things. Such as with installing TWRP, TWRP needs to finish installing by booting into recovery after flashing, and not into the firmware.
Pardon me if this isn't correct.

Only reason I ask is I tried it both ways of letting it reboot and not (by Editting the Odin.ini file) and their was no difference other than I had to manually reboot when auto reboot was off (which was annoying!)

Did you try rebooting into recovery after instead of booting into the firmware? Also you can uncheck auto reboot within Odin, you don't need to edit the .ini file.

Hmm.. Can't remember.
Installed 4 or 5 times from scratch.
Doesn't matter now. Tested after that I could restore and all good.
Version of Odin I used has no options for auto reboot in the UI. [emoji106]

One question: can I get to install the marshmallow stock rom only following the instructions 14 to 20? I am not interested to wipe data (I haven´t done it the previous times I have done it in other mobiles) and I don't want to install a custom rom
I'm feeling curious, in this case you don't need to install it rooting the device in first place?
Thank you!

If all you're doing is flashing the stock MM ROM then yes, you should be fine doing steps 14-20. Generally, when flashing stock ROMs you wont lose any of your data (images, media, documents..) also there is no need to wipe your phones data, but I would still recommend making a backup just in case something does go wrong.

Generally, when flashing stock ROMs you wont lose any of your data (images, media, documents..) also there is no need to wipe your phones data, but I would still recommend making a backup just in case something does go wrong.

Thank you. I've done it and it works smoothly so far :good:
I didn't make a backup but I didn´t have any problem

Complete wipe and flash firmware?

Hi,
Could someone please tell me, how do i completely wipe the current firmware on my phone and flash a fresh new rom on it to make the phone totally like new and no cache or so of previous remains.
I have worked with ODIN app and i did install a few firmwares on it through ODIN. But the thing is, i feel old files remain. Correct me if am wrong.
My battery life is very bad. So i am trying to find a solution if any.

After odin flashiing the proper firmware for your phone's model
do a factory data reset under the phone's settings.
Settings>General Managment>reset
Click on "reset" and follow the prompt.
Doing that will make your phone just like it was when it was new.
Good luck, have a great day!

Thank you very much. My battery has recently got messed up after nougat update. It has become 3 to 3.5 hours of SOT. Is this normal? (100% - 99% in 4 minutes SOT)

Yes it's normal especially after flashing fresh new firmware.
It takes about 3-4 complete charges to get more of an accurate
reading of the battery's hourly power consumption starting from
a fully charged battery.
