battery gains from uprading BL and modem? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have custom N rom which ppl reported great battery on. I seem to have the worst battery ever with extremly high os drains. Would upgrading BL and modem help the issue? I upgraded them and still os rocks, also do i need to format or reinstall rom to effectively apply BL and modem?

[Q] factory reset after 4.3 update?

I got my S4 i9505 yesterday and it came with 4.2.2 so today I flashed 4.3 XXUEMJ5 using odin 3.09. First thing I noticed is that all apps and settings were there and if I recall correctly every time I flashed a rom on my S1 it would do a full wipe.
So now I'm confused if I should do a factory reset or wipe data/cache/whatever from recovery?
Also, is 4.3 battery life better? I've seen some threads here of people complaining on battery life and others are suggesting to turn off wifi scanning and I have no idea what that is.
Anyone? I'm not willing to wipe data and cache just to try if it's not going to change anything.

Strange Behaviors

So I had been running the unnofficial 5.0.2 CM lollipop on my phone for a while when I finally decided I would do a full wipe and flash the latest version of it (1/26). Prior to the full wipe, the phone had been running fine. But since 1/26, it started depleting battery rapidly and it had tons of input lag. So... I wiped again and went back to what I previously had... only, my problems did not go away. So then I decided I would wipe and go back to CM11. Now, it is a little better, but still is having odd lag / behavioral issues.
My question is this.... I did several full wipes. This doesnt seem to be resolving my issues. I am guessing that wipes dont really get rid of strange behavior. Is there another step? I tried the "repair" option in TWRP but that didnt help much. I am using the latest TWRP. Should I odin a factory ROM then re-root everything? If so, does knox become removable, or am I stuck with it?

N9005 camera problem

Hi guys, does anyone have problems with taking pictures with samsung camera? When I take pictures sometimes phone immediatelly shut down and I cannot turn him on until I take battery out and then turn it on.
I am using official rom. 5.0 lollipop.
Does someone had similar situation? Any solution on this?
Tnx
Try to reflash your rom and clean cache and dalvik.
Its official 5.0 rom. Installed who knows when Phone is not rooted.
Try what the above person said.
Install custom recovery TWRP. Boot into it. Go to Advanced wipe section, wipe everything. (Be informed that this will completely wipe the phone, you will have nothing after this on your phone). Upgrade the boot loader to Lollipop if you already haven't. Then flash an official Lollipop ROM.
No, I have never had that issue, not once.

Resurrection Remix ROM 6.8 Build running Kernel 6.2 - Bootloop Issue Zenfone 5

Hello, Newbie Here!
So I recently flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM Build 6.8 and Kernel 6.2.
The Build is rather stable and In my honest opinion better than CM12.1 which I was on previously.
So the normal functions of the phone are normal and I feel this is a much stable build. I use a ASUS Zenfone 5(ASUS_T00F)
But I face random reboots where the phone restarts itself and gets stuck at the boot. Only when i try to force reboot from the bootloop screen does the phone restart normally and even that takes three or four attempts. First I thought it was just getting used to the new Kernel then when this started occurring frequently I became more aware that this might just be a potential risk.
Today afternoon, My Phone was literally stuck at bootloop for 2 hours.... Only when I tried to do three-four manual forced reboots by pressing my power key and with each instance entering the TWRP mode and doing a dalvik and cache wipe only then was I able to boot up my phone normally.....It totally drained the battery though. I was at 78% and when my phone finally booted up I was shocked to see just 1% charge left.
Everytime this issue occurs...either the phone is completly stuck in bootloop or goes to the "Android is upgraing your apps" notification and then again comes back to the bootloop.
I have also done two fresh flashes before this as well so I know its got nothing to do with a dirty flash.
I then started googling for the same issue that other Zenfone 5 users might be experiencing but to my shock...No threads on it could be found with the issue that Im experiencing.
Pretty frustrated right now I have no clue what to do.
Donot want to go back to STOCK ROM..It sucks.
Please help Guys!
Hello.
You should try to format system and reinstall the rom + xposed. After that you can format data, cache, internal storage. I hope that it will help you.
And did you have this problem on CM12.1?

Download latest firmware from Asus' Support Page. And flash it via adb sideload.

Stuck in boot loop for no reason

For no reason my phone just restarted. It used to restart from time to time and all was fine but this time its in bootloop. I currently don't have any recovery installed on it but I can enter in download mode. Is there any way to fix it without losing any data? I have some pretty valuable stuff that I can't really afford to lose
Its the LTE version and its running stock kitkat
I had different roms before but in the end I came back to this as everything else had bugs and wasn't stable
Also lately my battery life went to ****. From an average of 5hours SOT I can barely have a bit over 2 hours, sometimes not even 2. And I changed the battery with a new one and still no change. For some reason bellow screen I have android system as 2nd main consumer but I have no idea what could be using it. Could it be hardware??
Suggest flash custom recovery via Odin if you have no backup .
You may then be able to recover data .
