Hi,
I'm new to Android so please help me. About 2 days ago i bought a Samsung S6 edge +, everything it's working fine on it except the battery... even when i take him out off the charger in Battery section says that i have only 10 H aprox to go with it...is this normal? And the big problem is that if i leave him with 80% battery, in the morning i have only 32% with background apps closed before sleep. I mention that i have 6.0.1 on it and i have warranty so i don't realy want to root the phone or something that will make me lose the warranty.
Thank you!

Hello Snapydj, I think the problem can be caused by any app you installed. For be sure, first thing is restart de phone in safe mode (you can search how to do it here in this fórum) and see the behaviour of the phone in terms of battery. If the problem persists, try a full wipe and don't install immediately any app from play store. See the behaviour and then install apps one by one and observe battery drain. After all these steps if the problem continue you must send it to warranty.
I wonder I could help you.
Regards

Hi,
I searched yesterday a couple of hours on forums and i think i find the answer. There are many threads that says that it is a known problem for S6 and S6 edge, they called it Deep Sleep problem. But any fix for it that i can find is with root, and i don't want to root the phone... I can't post external link because i am a new user on this forum...

Not at all. Yes, there is a deep sleep problem but is not the case of you certainly, because even with deep sleep issue in S6 edge+, it doesn't make battery drain like you have. I can say to you that my battery drain over the night isn't more than 1 to 2% per hour. So your phone has a abnormal battery drain for a regular S6 edge+ with stock rom. I remember you that my phone is standard, not rooted
Check your knox in bootloader. Maybe your phone has root before you buy it. Turn off . Press volume down, home and power button. Relase it when green screen appears. Then continue. Check info about knox warranty. There should be all 0. If you see somewhere 1 it will means that your phone has root before.

Hi,
I checked there and you're right. Appears void 1 but I checked with a program and says that the phone doesn't have root. I took the phone before I used it on a service shop to unlock to work on all carriers because was locked on single one. Maybe that's why appears void 1 there right ? I flashed myself yesterday afternoon the last build for 6.0.1 and now I'm waiting to see if something changed.. And then I restore to factory settings and then cleaned wipe partition.

Hi ,
I want to share with you the fix i found. So... as you know , i have flashed another build of 6.0.1 , the general version for Romania. This still hasen't fix my problem, but last night after reading more post, i saw someone who said that if you have knox tripped to 1 is a known bug to have battery drain and the only fix is to root the phone, so i said that i should try this too. I root the phone with CF root method through Odin and then install CPU Spy and 3Cpu and ... surprise!! ... Cpu's are going to sleep now, and the problem is fixed. I don't need to install anything else (on some forums says that you have to install twrp recovery and the install a zipp).
Now the only question is, i don't know why knox was tripped to 1 ... the phone wasn't rooted before... i read somewhere that even if you flash another stock rom with odin you trigger know , is this true ? Is any method that i can reset the counter after i unroot the phone ? I mean i don't want to lose warranty.
Rooting always trips Knox, and tripping Knox is irreversible.

I don't think you understand. Knox was already tripped before I root the phone. And only thing has happened before was flashing another stock rom on the phone.

I understand, you don't.
Your phone had been previously rooted. Whenever and whoever unrooted it at a later date is irrelevant - knox is tripped.
You asked if there is any other method to reset the counter. The answer is no.

I rooted my S5 model SM G900T using Oden3 v 3.07 plus CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.tar.md5 send donation to chainfire. This was four days ago. All was better than fine until yesterday afternoon, then I tried to connect to a local hot spot. The phone said strong signal but could not connect.
Last thing I did was to run Pry-Fi didn't really understand the app so shut it down or I think I did, then after returning home I noticed while trying to connect to Google play store it said no network available.
Under settings WiFi the on off toggle is grayed out, it will flash green briefly when I go into advanced but it will not turn on.
Under App info WiFi Direct v everything is grayed out data is Zero and no cache is Zero
WiFi Direct Share is OK
I have a full Titanium Backup in Drop Box if that helps.
On the phone its Mobile ODIN Pro v 4.20 showing Kernel none Recovery none and on and on. Would like to have a nice ROM installed, but not there yet.
So I also think I didn't install something right
IMEI is present in software
I do have root that was my goal, but never to lose WiFi Oooh Mii God
What the heck is KNOX? Maybe its my router gosh

After flashing CF auto root, you tripped the knox fuse. That will give you a 0x1 status. This is only an issue if you need warranty, some say it voids it, others say not always. But once it's tripped it can't be undone. (and will have NO effect on Wi-Fi)
Are you on a stock original rom or a custom rom, did you uninstall pry-fi, and what else did you install.
SM-G900W8, 0x1
Pry-fi is broken. I had similar issues after using it. Check my reply & fix in the pry-fi thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55449565&postcount=405

I don't think I installed anything but Pri Fy after rooting was assured then the app No-frills CPU Control,. I did not install a custom ROM. If it were the flash to auto root I would think I would have lost the wifi at that point not two days latter, I don't really know what Knox is but by having the stock software and resetting the phone to factory default I am sure I have not lost warranty as I have not damaged the phone. WiFi direct has no Cache or data
So I have to think maybe its related to Pri Fy
Thanks for the reply, I am late for work and would like to troubleshoot Pri Fy now and what it really does in relation to the other programs. As bkraptor in his post Pri Fy is broken so there seems to be issues with it. How ever his solution is in an area I have not venture yet.
Thanks again
this should give you tons of info on knox, but once tripped you can't untrip, you go from 0x0 to 0x1 permanently.

Thanks for the info about KNOX, voiding the warranty is not a primary concern. My primary concern is WIFI because I use it as my primary way I use the phone at home. It leaves my phone almost useless. I followed the link about Pri Fi but I never saw a solution for the S5 is there a clear work around. Should I use the warranty that I am paying for with the carrier and pay the deductible for a new phone. Wow I wish I could turn back the hands of time now, or have bought a different phone.
I really need a working phone with wifi, I can't lose it totally LOL.

Did you happen to make a back up of your rom before you installed pri-fy, if so you could wipe and install that, or you could download a custom Rom and try that. At worst you can down load a stock version of your rom and install with Odin and it will be fixed.

No I didn't make a back up before Pri Fi, I still have the stock ROM in the phone. Titanium didn't make a back up as I had thought or it put it somewhere other then where I supposed it to be. The phone is more wacked more then I thought I get line drops like crazy but maybe it was using wifi more then I thought. Thanks for helping me, where can I find a good stable ROM for this S5 now that I am in so deep might as well go all the way. I have insurance on the phone if I lost it and I almost lost it today, looked and looked for that thing. I have rooted several phones without issue, but one did brick but Samsung sent me a new one no problem, yet I have never tried to install a custom Rom.

Titanium b/u only backs up your apps not your whole rom.
If your on a 900t,i would check this thread out, it is stock and needs odin but should be close to what you have now. (you would want the full tar version, not just the modem and bootloader)
Stock, odin flashable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57068686
If you have a t-mobile this is a great custom rom, You need a custom recovery like twrp or CWM as well for this option.
I like this recovery

TALE OF A HEART BROKEN ROOT ATTEMPT
hello xda members
i am a note 3 N900 (exynos)user from India. i bought this phone in december 2013. all was going pretty good for a while. after almost 6 months the battery life started to diminish. initially i could get 24 h total time with 3-4 hours screen time and with 3G data on intermittently. but once the battery life decreased and got heating issues near the camera i decided to root. I had taken my phone to authorized samsung service centres twice to know whether my phone has any battery issues to which they said " everything is fine ". i waited till the end of my warranty period and attempted to root in january 2015. i have been doing many researches by reading posts and watching videos online. Finally the D day came and i decided to go for it !! I tried everything as mentioned in the video by cursed4eva based on chainfires post. everything went fine and finally got a message : FAILED !! i tried once more and the end result was same. then on my 46k worth note 3 i saw this heart breaking message " "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". i tried to do so in kies but it was also futile. finally i took my phone to a nearby mobile shop and they said this can be repaired but will take some time, pls come in the afternoon. I was totally disappointed and was thinking just because of this root attempt i have spoiled all these hard earned money of mine At around 5 pm in the evening i got the phone back . i was so happy to see it was working fine ! but i lost 500 indian rupees for that !
End result of that tiring day was like this : i tripped my knox counter, phone wasnt rooted and lost 500 rupees
later my battery life decreased. after a full charge now i get only 14 hrs with 2.5-3 h screen time( phone is just 1 year old). when i tried to search for any soft ware updates i got one more wonderful message which conveyed the message" your device has been modified and no OTA " When i hear that lollipop update is at the door steps i can only sit back with a heart full of sorrow
dear friends out here , i need your priceless help in this issue. I am not well versed with this rooting stuff , so need a simple explanation about what actually would have gone wrong with my rooting extravaganza !! i have read some posts that my mobile can be modified in such a way that knox counter will be 0x0 and system status original which will help me update via OTA. so please guide me through what all things have to be done and what to do in case i see the heart breaker "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." again !!! . After all these , i tried to format my phone thinking it will improve the battery life, but factory resetting both ways is impossible now.
in concise , my requirements
1. need to root my device safely- Warranty period is over now

2. need to update to lollipop OTA and reset KNOX to 0x0 and system status to stock
3. is my battey life normal ?? dec 2013 model getting 14 hours 100 to 0 % with 2.5-3h screen time and 50mts of voice call and whatsapping and chrome browsing on H+ (3G) network with 2G plan
4. how to factory reset the phone ( i tried using settings and hard keys- both failed) . when i released the power button the galaxy note 3 logo vanished and reappeared and went straight to boot. i dint get the menu to reset the data)

Hello there ,
i would like to tell you that you can easily root your phone by kingo root. it is safe. dont forget ti on USB debugging.
and no way to reset knox counter. so better forget about that.
1. You can use towel root not sure if it still applies forgot the required date for it to work. CF root also works make sure its for your model nlsm-n900. Tried kingo root it also works.
2. No way to reset knox to 0x0 but that wont hurt your phone. You can install russian lollipop you can download it at sammobile again make sure its sm-n900.
If your phone is currently rooted you may want to use triangle away to reset binary then flash stock russian lollipop rom but it wont again changr knox to 0x0. You will then be able to do ota.
3. For battery normally a battery needs to be replace after a certain charge cycle and usually after one year but it really depends on how often and what you use the phone for.
4. While phone is off did you press volume up and home(not sure if required) and power buttom at the same time?
I dont usually use this since i have a reboot application option.
I can understand what you were been through so if you arent rooted go to towel root down load it ( press the button named make it ra1n ) this will root your phone and you dont have to worry about brick it again ... If you want to upadate your device you have to download odin is windows pc programm which can help you to flash stock roms or update your device ..
If you want to download official rom go to sammobile sign in and find your device .
About the battery problem you can do better with your phone so if you root you your note install greenify app from playstore , download gsam to see which app is draining your battery ,reboot your phone once a while
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
@drheart the shop person nay have flashed a custom rom.
Now you can flash a fresh rom via odin and get the rom from sammobile.com. also use the cf root method on xda for the rom that you will flash.

1. You have to update your binaries first (like in the pic attached). You will have to reboot then
2. Next step is READ XDA forum (about cwm, xposed and custom roms) and no hurry to flash anything if you aren't sure.

Yes, but follow the instructions carefuly :highfive:
Guys . I have rooted my device and has installed titanium and cwm. Everything has been backed up. I have an exynos variant ,india version and is currently on 4.4.2. As of now official lollipop is unavailable in india. I would like to install the russian lollipop. Have a few questions.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
Thanks in advance
First a general warning - from my experience and reading, a major cause for bootloops and phone issues is NOT doing a physical Download Mode. i.e. rebooting into DL mode or simply restarting and holding the keys. If you want to flash a new ROM (or Stock AFAIK) you must do a physical Download Mode. i.e. you take out the battery, wait about 10 secs, then put the battery back in and hold down Home+Down Vol+Power. Note you need to take out the USB cable BEFORE doing this.
Also, most people don't seem to know that even the latest batteries need to have recharge cycles done - every so often, at least once a month, make sure you run the battery down under at least 20% - lower is better. Also make sure you never take it to 0%. This is the single reason most laptop batteries fail 1 month outside the warranty - people leave them plugged in. It might seem a good idea to keep your phone charged always above (say) 60% but it isn't.

If you want to flash a new ROM (or Stock AFAIK) you must do a physical Download Mode. i.e. you take out the battery, wait about 10 secs, then put the battery back in and hold down Home+Down Vol+Power. Note you need to take out the USB cable BEFORE doing this.
Also, most people don't seem to know that even the latest batteries need to have recharge cycles done - every so often, at least once a month, make sure you run the battery down under at least 20% - lower is better. Also make sure you never take it to 0%. This is the single reason most laptop batteries fail 1 month outside the warranty - people leave them plugged in. It might seem a good idea to keep your phone charged always above (say) 60% but it isn't.

You're right... sorry about that.
1. After installing the lollipop will i lose my root status
If it is Stock firmware and you use Odin, yes. It will remove root, so you would need to do it again. Is there a reason you'd want stock rather than a custom ROM? I've used Alliance ROM and Temasek's CM12 and both are excellent, fast and smooth. Temasek's is not stock based but it is very nice to use. Alliance is probably the most customisable ROM I ahve seen that doesn't use Xposed or other 3rd party system to provide the ability to set it up how you want.
2. Can i install the kitkat version via odin if i ever want to revert.
You should be able to. I am unsure why you'd want to as so far, I am very impressed with LP, even the stock from Sammobile. I say 'should' only because I am unsure if the updated bootloader from the LP flash would support KK firmware.
3. Will it be possible to change the language fron russian to English
Yes. I have yet to see a ROM where you can't pick your language on startup.
4. Finally if anything goes wrong and the screen show firmware update encountered an error ,what to do rather than panicking
This is kinda answered in previous post about doing the physical boot to download - it's the only time I have seen issues coming from an Odin flash process - doing a restart into DL mode rather than pulling the battery to get there.
The other possibility is wrong PIT file or partition size. e.g. I had a Hong Kong S3 and had all kinds of problems trying to get a custom ROM onto it - managed it eventually but for a while I thought I'd only ever be able to use HK variants. So I'd make sure I have a firmware based on where your phone is from on my hard drive so if something DOES go wrong you can simply use Odin to flash that version.
Just a general tip! Do NOT activate this if rooted! It will put you in bootloop immediately. I actually tried it twice. So it's a promise. Saves you some hours.
Learned this just the day we received 5.1.1 update and I wasn't agree to upgrade yet but I was obligated to hehe

hi Bro, i was playing around with my phone and i just activated the knox protection. am rooted with pingpong and the knox counted is 0x0.
please any idea to start up my phone. thanks
Reflash fw with Odin. Just use the same fw as your current. It will remove root and other root-related changes and restore bloat, but your apps with data will be there. I learned that lesson twice...
Just saw this thread, learned the hard way last night, went into boot-loop over and over, did a clean flash, good thing I had backed up all my data minutes before!
my phone was rooted, now that I have returned to branded rom, konx not work, says that the phone was modified? i can not install it again
Hello Everyone
I need urgent help as my phone is not working and it is too irritating to keep switching it on and off. Just to give a brief history of my phone, I rooted it 3 months back thru ODIN, I actually wanted to install xmod games and that required a root. The root went fine and my purpose was solved.
Now today after three months my phone yesterday I got a message for software update and on which i clicked, it said i can't update it and post that the phone is constantly hanging and restarting. Launching an app seems to take ages. I am seriously very annoyed. I thought it is the root hence I clicked on full unroot and uninstalled SuperSU. But this didn't solve the problem.
The KNOX counter reads 0x1 (4) warranty void. I am unable to use the phone for a single minute and its heating up too much.
I want to know what to do next.
Should I flash a custom rom? If yes please suggest some. ( my model is 910G factory unlocked)
Should I flash a factory rom?
Should I re-root & set counter to 0 using triangle away and then try to update it over wifi?
Any other suggestions?
From what I have read lurking around XDA, if you are on stock ROM with root capabilities, you can't use OTA updates, you must use odin. You can download the stock 5.1.1 for your model/region on Sammobile. Also, you may find the ROM you need here on XDA hope I could help.
Hey guys I'm newly registered to the forum but have always scrolled through various posts to get answers until this bizarre issue.
I have an SM-G935F and as per the title it randomly shuts off and becomes completely unresponsive. If I connect it to a charger it doesn't recognize it and I've tried the pressing the volume down and power button to simulate battery pull, which doesn't work and I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. If I leave the phone overnight and plug it in to charge the next day, it recognizes the charger, I charge it up to 100% and it's fine again and I can get roughly 20 minutes use out of it before the cycle repeats.
The OTA update kept failing so I updated my phone via Odin with the firmware from sammobile (just the BL and AP files), as I've done several times in the past when OTAs have randomly failed. After flashing with odin, I always enter download mode to check it's all official and it now says warranty void: 1 (0x0500) which I know is KNOX being tripped, but I've never rooted my phone. The binary and system status are both official but I'm baffled as to why KNOX has been tripped.
If anyone has any ideas as to what to do to make my phone stop crashing and turning off, (I know you can't reset the KNOX counter so I'm out of luck there, as frustrating as it is) I'd fully appreciate your help. Using a Samsung J3 after my S7 edge is a painful experience
Thanks in advance guys.

That's very unusual to trip knox via Odin, was second hand phone?
Maybe try flashing 6.0.1 firmware and hold off updating until 7.0 is sorted.
It was an upgrade on my contract in October so it was brand new.
I'll try to flash 6.0.1 again and see if I have any more luck with it.
I'm tempted to go back to the store and ask for a replacement but I know they'll question the warranty void counter. I'm just so confused as to why it's tripped it.

Perhaps is a bad flash reverting back to MM should fix issue but certainly not knox counter.
I'm also awaiting long overdue nougat update and was going to flash via Odin until I read your post. Slightly nerves now wonder if anyone else has had the same issue of tripping knox.
I've just updated via odin and no knox trip, void counter remains the same.
I reverted back to 6.0.1 and the issue still happened which is making me wonder whether or not it's a hardware issue.
I'm going to download a ROM (probably superman rom) and try flashing that through TWRP and see if that fixes it. I won't be able to do it until I'm home tonight but I will get back and update you on how I get on.
I'm glad you successfully flashed 7.0 without any issues, hopefully I'm the only one who has this problem.

If the problem occurs on the official ROM, flashing custom one won't help at all. I would recommend you flashing again nougat after wiping all data, system, cache via recovery mode

I'll give this a go tonight and see how I get on.
I find it very odd that both 7.0 and 6.0.1 gave the same restarting issues which is why I'm worried it's a hardware issue and not software.
I do have the TWRP file so could flash that, do a dalvik and normal cache wipe too after installing nougat again.

So I installed 7.0 again and it is still crashing and becoming a completely unresponsive phone with a black screen. Again, left it over night and plugged in this morning to charge and it's on again. I have absolutely no idea what to do to fix this issue.

Hey buddy it might be because of wrong varient rom flashed so knox may be tripped
Try downlaoding and flashing the original variant and original country rom from samfirmware.com and it might actually do the trick
As for your battery problems, it might be a charger or port problem based on maybe if the cord might be streched more than required accidently or maybe the charger has encountered a fault or power surge so its circuit might have failed to safeguard your phone from over surge of current and over heating.....try using original but substitute charger of someone else

Hey mate. Unfortunately I've definitely got the right variants for UK Vodafone, I did use sammobile so I'll give samfirmware a go and see if that fixes it.
The charging thing is an odd one, once the phone boots and is used for 10 or so minutes it will crash, the screen will go black and no matter what trying to reboot, go into recovery or download mode, nothing responds. The only way I've found to get it responding again is if I leave it overnight and plug it in to charge the next day, then it'll start charging and I've tried both mine and my partners cables in both plugs.
I might just take it back to carphone warehouse and tell them whatever has happened during the update has tripped knox and completely ruined my phone, it's only 3 months old to ? they must have a way of finding out if I'd tried to root because if they did, they'd see I've never tried it.

Return it. If Stock ROM doesn't fix a problem, the phone is good night

Since installing Superstock Rom, the phone has, so far, been completely crash free and no random reboots when trying to do something simple like uninstall an app. Fingers crossed it stays this way!
