Fix Wakelock without root (my usb flex is broken!) - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have an 920i Note 5. My usb is broken so I can't connect to the pc. I noticed that my phone never goes deep sleep. Always cpu sets in 400mhz. So, I tried to deactivate Google Account Sync, and some packages using the Package Disabler. The problem is that I cant fix it. Tried to clear cache, format data, etc. But the deep sleep never fixes. It uses more battery when it is with the screen turned off, that in the inverse way.
Somebody can give me any hint?
Thanks!

Have you rooted your device or Running stock from beginning? If your device is rooted already i.e to flash custom roms or kernels etc and now you have reverted back to stock thats why facing deep sleep issue theb here is solution by dr.ketan
**Your device must be rooted to use this deep sleep fix patch comes as .apk, it will not work on stock firmware without root as it needs supersu root access**

I tought that the fact that has been rooted could be a problem. MY brother has rooted the phone, and then back to stock ROM (now is on official). The problem is that I cant root again, because I can't use Odin...

You have to root your device again and apply deep sleep fix if you want to overcome that issue..And original usb of Samsung is not that much expensive i.e you can't afford it..If your phone's usb port is broken then it might be costly..By the way once you rooted ypur device, knox get tripped and you will face huge battery drain after reverting back to stock..So the solution i have provided already..Refer suggested thread and you will come to know everything regarding rooting,deep slip..

Right, that's the problem. My USB port is broken. I have already bought the spare part, but it will take one month or more to arrive. So, now I have my note with no possible connection to PC so I can use Odin, to root and get the deep sleep issue fixed. There's no way to root without using Odin? Just my phone and Wi-Fi adb or something?

I didn't find any one click root method i.e. rooting without pc using apk like kingroot or kingoroot or one click root apk..But it depends on which version your running, if 5.0.1 then you might get rooted with apk and if 6.0.1 i don't think one click root is available..But still you can google it 'how to root Samsung galaxy note 5 running marshmallow without using pc'

Yeah, I've tried that, but didn't work. I suppose I have to wait for the spare part and fix mypport.

Losing root after reboot

Hello,
I'm facing some small problem with my Xperia.
I own this device for 4 days, so please consider me noob (only for this device).
So I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone and installed CWM, but the problem is that it is losing root after every reboot (I have to flash SuperSu libraries each time to fix it).
I've seen a thread about this, how to re-root my phone, however I can't find it anymore.
Could You help me to root my phone permanently?

I have the problem with à Samsung Galaxy i9305. :

Did you find a solution ?
Thanks.

[Q] First Time Rooter, Gs6 SM-G920T, need help intresting problem cant find fix.

#1-"com.tmobile.pr.adapt (10001) has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell" pops up on my screen every 30 seconds on the bottom of my screen in a grey box.
#2- i also noticed that i can accept and recieve calls but i can not hear, nor can the other person hear me. if i use hangouts video call, skype, etc it works fine.
#3-i also tried to get rom manager to make a recovery and it says it needs to get CWD recovery to install a new software, the first thing we need to do is install a up to date version, we will begin that process now... etc.. then it says to get started you must first sset up a custom recovery, it gives two options a samsung galaxy s3 on metro pcs or a samsung previal 2 on boost mobile, or device not listed, when i click that it says "SM-G920T does not have an officially supported CWDR yet. Have you installed a CWD based recovery manually?" so im not sure what to do from there, or if i even need that. i have been a iphone user since day one went to android after reading up a lot on it, although rooting is quite different than jailbreaking it seems, i am incredibly excited to get started if i can get past these little problems and get started and figure everything out. ANY advice, or anwsers to these problems would be Greatly appreciated! thanks!
Also i went to dev options in settings and noticed the "OEM unlocking- allow the bootloader to be unlocker" was turned off, i dont know if this is necessary to root if i did something wrong by not turning it on or what, or if it may fix any problems above if i turn it on now. thanks!
I have a samsung Galaxy S6 (SM_G920T) . i Rooted and did not trip Knox, Although i did just remember that my fingerprint sensor is not working either.
Thank you guys so much this si a incredible forum i have spent hours and hours reading and researching before making this post i appreciate it so much!
#1 Freeze that ****. Use some root tool to freeze that T-mobile apk, seems u gave it root permissions at some point. I believe there are a lot of apps that you will want to do the same.
#2 ? No idea. Stock rom/kernel?
#3 What is this I don't even. Don't do that. Go to TWRP's official web, get your zeroflte (SM-GT920T) twrp and flash it via ODIN, or else get the recovery.img and use flashify. All that assuming you want a custom recovery.
You will need to unlock the bootloader if you are on 5.1.1. I believe locked will prevent changes or wiping anything on the OS partitions, even recovery (can someone confirm?)
I believe jailbraking and rooting should be pretty much similar, if not the same, as both target to grant the user root access to do whatever he pleases on the OS.
Welcome to android btw.
How did you root? Sounds like you used the modified sboot which causes no sounds in calls and nonfunctional fingerprint scanner. If so, flash back to stock and use a different rooting method. The rest, pretty much what the above poster stated
Root
I rooted using the version that I found the only one that works it seemed like, went to Odin put my phone In download mode and then put the boot loader download in BL and the. Put a something unikernel.sbin I believe, whatever the guide said also then it was done. I thought you couldn't use the twrp or custom recovery etc on tmobile one yet but I just read a thing about xtrestolite odex pure v2 which says it's for 5.1.1 and my model of phone but in the guide it says to root using CF auto root and a link there to it but the link doesn't have my phone on the list that the guide that clearly is my phone says to use I don't know if I'm missing something but I want to use it I understand most of it but I don't know if I need to unropt first and re root then use Odin and flash twrp that's supported on my phone then use that to recover the rom. Etc. The kernel that says is used in the guide is the same one I downloaded so do I need to remove it all then let it do that or?
Sorry if this didn't make sense I'm halfway there between confused and understood I have spent the last 10 hours reading and trying to figure this out though lol. Thanks guys!
Also
Sorry for adding more but also how do I flash back to stock? Search for the download to the stock image of my phone? Also I could only find one way of rooting everything else said it wasn't working yet or am I missing a big portion of something here?
Just flash the 5.1.1 firmware to return to stock. To root, flash unikernel with Odin. The other method you used was to not trip knox, but as you experienced has side effects. I had to Odin back to 5.1.1 myself. Can't have those issues
thanks!
so how do i flash back to 5.1.1? find the ling to completely stock 5.1.1 and flash through odin in the same spot and same way i flashed the kernel to root? also.. i rooted with " s6_UniKernel_v2-0003-ODIN.tar" is that not the one you were talking about?

Yes, flashing to 5.1.1 works exactly like that. You need to get the version for your model (very important on this one) and then simply place that file in the AP field of ODIN while the device is in recovery mode. It is normal for ODIN to freeze for 2 minutes while verifying. Make sure to use a MD5 checker tool on the firmware before flashing.
Rooting has historically required more technical savvy and balls than jailbreaking, but PingPong made rooting the S6 brain-dead simple. CF-Auto root is still pretty painless, but you must make sure you have the right zip for your device.
Anyhoo, the quickest & easiest way to restore phone calls & fingerprint scan is to use Odin to get back to bone stock.
Next, use PingPong to root. After rooting, "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" will ask for root access. That is T-Mobile's "phone home" app and sends info about your device (probably including root status). Deny it root access and make sure you check "Remember my choice", and it won't bother you again. You will not lose any functionality by denying it root, so terminate that crap.
Don't bother with rom manager. CWM is archaic. If you want a custom recovery, use TWRP. You can install TWRP either using Odin or TWRP Manager app (it's free).
Good luck and have fun with your S6

Are you still rooted? If so, and if you are experiencing the call audio issue, go flash AOU's kernel. He has made a kernel for the tmo s6. that should eliminate your call audio issue. The finger print scanner is the only issue with flashing his kernel. Also, I rooted with the modded sboot, his TWRP and kernel, and I didn't trip knox

The release notes just said various bug fixes.
But don't do it, it locks the BL and you cannot downgrade. The Root method for 5.1.1 was patched, and there is a problem with battery drain from the system keeping wifi active. ( I already went through everything to disabling wifi scanning, smart switch, Volte, etc. ) And it's still present.
The battery drain isn't as bad as it used to be, I am losing something like 3-5 percent per hour. With everything disabled that can be being un rooted.

What in the world are you talking about?
Ha sorry about that.
So I flashed this, not really thinking. My own fault for not thinking.
1. This has a bootloader that prevents downgrading.
2. And my battery now showing high WiFi active usage.
Also it's saying my screen is being used when its off.
Ive got WiFi scanning , volte and the common things discussed on here that would drain the battery. All of it is disabled.
3. I know the 5.1.1 root method didn't work because I can't overwrite the BL.
So after flashing this, Im losing 3-4 percent an hour with screen off. When I used to see especially on your rom I would loose like 1percent /h.
Tried going into development settings, checking oem unlock. Then flashing twrp and a custom kernel?

New Google Pay
Some loss Netflix, depending on if you change your build.prop.
Do not flash this if your phone is rooted and working. This locks bootloader and odin fails to flash previous firmware. Also mobile data is throttled to 64kbp. Not faster or slower. Massive heating issues as well.

I just rooted my phone with uni kernel v8.-0002 and I lost play and Netflix so might as well check out these rooms lol
I'm confused, I'm on COF8, rooted and using Xtresolite v2.3...should I not flash this new modem or not?
Do not flash this firmware. Stay on last stock img if your phone is working fully.
Let me clarify some shiz here........
There is NOTHING wrong with this firmware.
It DOES NOT lock down the bootloader.
It DOES Not cause your phone to get hot.
So stop with the shiz you are saying before you have people freaking out over nothing.........

Battery life really bad

The battery life that i am getting is just 7-8 hrs which i think is really really bad on the Note 5, the phone is just a month old.
Android OS is consuming the most of the battery please help me with the fix
Attached is the screenshot of the battery stats.
Yeah, the battery life of this device kind of sucks without any modifications. Don't worry, I was equally disappointed too - it's not just your device.
You should proceed to root your device if you are seriously wanting to do something about battery.
Once you're rooted, you may:
-Install ForceDoze, to force it to not wakeup anywhere near as much when the device is not being used.
-Install Greenify, to automagically freeze all unneeded apps (donate for system). This will speed up your phone, free memory and save battery.
-You can install and try L-Speed, which should help your battery out a lot when using an unoptimised Samsung firmware.
-And finally installing Xposed, which may require a little research. This will let you enable all of the modules provided by the above programs to give you deeper system integration. Ultimately saving you battery. Set Greenifies working mode from root to xposed in settings.
I can't help you out with a custom note 7 based ROM as they all seem to be broken in some way at this stage.

Thanks for your help BTW i will not be installing Xposed, but i will suerly do the L-speed, Greenify and ForceDoze. Any thing else that i should do to recover from this battery issue and be on stock as far as possible ?
You can use Agressive Doze in Greenify without root. It will help putting the phone in Doze mode much quicker. It looks like something is keeping the phone awake pretty much all the time.

Hi, if you have Knox tripped (0x1) then don't bother with software solutions... you need custom kernel either Sickness either SkyHigh. I have spend 2 months in research. First install latest TWRP and them install the new kernel. After that you will lose just 6% overnight instead of 50%.

First things first. We are talking about Marshmallow right???
Rooting is different than installing a custom kernel. Trust me, most of the people don't care about root but only to fix their phone.
IF you have a tripped knox don't go and install, or even worst buy, any applications promising to make battery last longer or 50% overnight to go down to 6%. They cannot...
I will tell you my use case and you will figure out what you want.
I have a Note 5 N9208 with tripped knox. Battery drains horribly losing 8-10% per hour. This is because of tripped knox and all software solutions (Greenify, Naptime, ForceDoze etc) are useless since you CANNOT put the processors to 0 frequency and the only way to solve it is with a customer kernel.
For my model I installed The Sickness kernel. For N920C Dr. Ketan has a kernel which might be good for other models too.
Steps:
Install TWRP from here . Select your model and install it with Odin in AP section.
Install kernel from Sickness for N9208 or arter97 for other models or DR. Ketan's kernel for N920C . It will be a .zip file containing a boot.img file somewhere. Copy the .zip file to a local folder on the mobile and after you boot into TWRP recovery select install and then flash the file.
After installation you are fixed BUT you MIGHT lose the functionality of keeping the WiFi passwords after reboot. THIS is the part where you need to be root.
If the kernel didn't installed SuperSU then install with TWRP SuperSU from here (Some kernels they don't inject SuperSU or installation is damaged). Install BuildProp editor from Google Play , give root permissions and search for 'storage'. Make parameter ro.secure.storage = false and save then reboot.
Unroot from superSU menu to regain access to banking applications. You might need to clear their cache and data if they have already identified the device as rooted.
Don't be afraid as the steps do not need to be executed all together and at once.
Flash TWRP and gain some familiarity with it. It's a nice recovery environment which you enter the same way like the official one. Check also what is the impact in your phone from changing the recovery.
Then copy all the files in you phone and install BuildProp too so you will have it ready. Also It would be nice to BUY and install Package Disabler pro. it is cheap and it will help you to get rid of the annoying messages regarding Unauthorized software etc.
After all these, you can discuss with many wise guys regarding Greenify and Forsedoze and blah blah on how to make your battery EVEN better.

There is no magic trick bro. Our phones have to light up 5.7 inches with high definition with 2 sim cards and 4G data coming and going all the time ...
ForceDoze works without root but needs to execute a commandline through ADB. To be honest I don't care since Doze fixed and I cannot measure performance.
From engineering point of view, I have to say that all these applications are nice when you don't use your phone.
If you talk too much or browse too much they are USELESS. If you saw my printscreen, I had a very good overnight behavior but during day I drained the phone since I was talking all day and I was not leaving the phone to rest...

With ForceDoze you will be ok. It has complete instructions on how to install it without root. Try to do it after unrooting in order to show you the workaround method. However. It is not doing anything without the Doze patch that kernels are installing.
Thank you but....

First things first. We are talking about Marshmallow right???
Rooting is different than installing a custom kernel. Trust me, most of the people don't care about root but only to fix their phone.
IF you have a tripped knox don't go and install, or even worst buy, any applications promising to make battery last longer or 50% overnight to go down to 6%. They cannot...
I will tell you my use case and you will figure out what you want.
I have a Note 5 N9208 with tripped knox. Battery drains horribly losing 8-10% per hour. This is because of tripped knox and all software solutions (Greenify, Naptime, ForceDoze etc) are useless since you CANNOT put the processors to 0 frequency and the only way to solve it is with a customer kernel.
For my model I installed The Sickness kernel. For N920C Dr. Ketan has a kernel which might be good for other models too.
Steps:
Install TWRP from here . Select your model and install it with Odin in AP section.
Install kernel from Sickness for N9208 or arter97 for other models or DR. Ketan's kernel for N920C . It will be a .zip file containing a boot.img file somewhere. Copy the .zip file to a local folder on the mobile and after you boot into TWRP recovery select install and then flash the file.
After installation you are fixed BUT you MIGHT lose the functionality of keeping the WiFi passwords after reboot. THIS is the part where you need to be root.
If the kernel didn't installed SuperSU then install with TWRP SuperSU from here (Some kernels they don't inject SuperSU or installation is damaged). Install BuildProp editor from Google Play , give root permissions and search for 'storage'. Make parameter ro.secure.storage = false and save then reboot.
Unroot from superSU menu to regain access to banking applications. You might need to clear their cache and data if they have already identified the device as rooted.
Don't be afraid as the steps do not need to be executed all together and at once.
Flash TWRP and gain some familiarity with it. It's a nice recovery environment which you enter the same way like the official one. Check also what is the impact in your phone from changing the recovery.
Then copy all the files in you phone and install BuildProp too so you will have it ready. Also It would be nice to BUY and install Package Disabler pro. it is cheap and it will help you to get rid of the annoying messages regarding Unauthorized software etc.
After all these, you can discuss with many wise guys regarding Greenify and Forsedoze and blah blah on how to make your battery EVEN better.

I had a bootloop after flashin Twrp on N920C. Only solution was flashing from Odin the stock firmaware.
In the end, no custom recovery, knox tripped and no battery optimization...
I'd like to retry but I don't want to lose everything another time

yes, if I start in custom recovery I have twrp working but when I start the os I've a bootloop. Also I tried wiping cache and system but no luck, bootloop.
Try with stock firmware from smartswitch and then flash twrp. From what you said you are flashing an image not from samsung.
Resolved, i rooted first than I flashed the recovery. No more problems

Possible Solutions Are
1)You can wait for next official OTA by samsung regarding fixing the issue
2)You can download previous Official 7.0 Build Which you were using from Sammobile.com or Samfirm.com And Flash It Using Odin (Kindly Don't Forget to enable OEM Unlocking And USB Debugging Options From Developers Options Before flashing anything using Odin is always recommended to avoid DM-verity/SW-Check Fails/Custom Binary Blocked By FRP like issues)
3)You can root your device and Try any custom or stock rooted/patched kernel for your device which will probably solves above mentioned issues OR Simply flash any custom nougat based N5 or S8+ Roms
Note:-
Rooting will void your warranty as well as trigger Knox flag, so if your not much familiar with Rooting And Falshing Custom Roms Simply Dont try this Or Try At Your Own Risk
