Probably you can fix this inconsistent state going to safe mode to see which apps are causing it. If the power button is not working at all, see if device tries to boot from power off just connecting to a power source and press volume down button simultaneously.

If doesn't work try to enter to recovery pressing volume up÷home buttons while connect to a power source, from there you can try formatting data/factory resetting and see if it worked.

If you got it recovery but didn't work, as third option go again to recovery and from menu reboot to download mode or alternatively emulate the same operation changing volume down instead of volume up trying to go to download mode so the time to get it is relatively shorter to go to download mode instead of recovery mode.

As for the authorized device you can get developer menu with some effort using both hands, while you tap OK to the message"system UI is crashing" (or similar) with your left hand rapidly advance from the notification bar to the settings toggle and so on with your right hand. Access to adb only can help you probably to reach recovery mode.
[General Questions and Answers] Gng28:
Thanks for the reply, tried your suggestions .

As for powering up the unit, I just connect it to a usb cable and unplug/replug the batterry since the power button is disable. Upon powering up it automatically boot on safe mode, but unfortunately the same issue keep reoccurring. Tried the recov mode by pressing both vol up and home button and plug the cable, but all i get is the icon for battery charging nothing else, search the internet about fast boot says about pressing both up and down vol while plugging the usb cable from the PC to the unit still a battery charging icon. And for the notification, i dont see any other icons upon powering up, all I see is the dialog box "System UI has stopped" that keeps on popping even if i press ok. So i cant even perform inner factory reset cause i cant go to settings.

Worst case scenario:

Now i am worry that even the unit power up button been repaired by a techy it might have lost the ability to go on fast mode or recovery. If that is the case i can't reflash it. Does changing resolution cause permanent damage to phone?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If what you did before to cause this issue is change resolution this can't damaged permanently device, just causes that system can't be displayed correctly.

A doubt, how did you get safe mode?

The point to go to safe mode is to see what causes the issue but if you know that was the culprit then you can try reverting to the stock values going to accessibility menu, I'm not sure if you can reach developer mode also you can find this option to change dpi.

If I don't remember bad J7 Prime support till a QC 2.0 (don't try with a slow charge) if you have it try with it but you have to try pressing volume button and home menu at exactly same time that you plug with a electric source (not pc).

Regarding fastboot mode this model as most of Samsung devices don't have this mode available and the combination key that you are trying won't get any result.
[General Questions and Answers] Gng28:
I don't particularly know how did i get to safe mode, but after I increase the dpi above average , the "System UI has stopped working" pop up then the unit restart, and I wonder why my wallpaper change to different colored ones, then on the bottom left corner says "Safe Mode" after a few seconds the error pops up, upon pressing OK the safe mode logo disappears along with the notification panel(no matter I touch it doesn't move) and the error keeps popping no matter how much I press OK.

As for the combination keys you mention i tried both pressing vol up/down and home at the same time plugin the power source on both PC and normal electric source(interchanging them), still only battery icon logo charging.

The app i use :

[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
You have made a system setting change. That's why you needed root to do it. It can also be set through adb.

I think the device is trying to boot into safe mode automatically since it's unsuccessful booting normally. But, safe mode is affected by this change also. If you don't have USB debugging enabled, you can't use ADB to try to get past this. Getting the power button fixed so you can boot into recovery and factory reset may be the most straight forward solution.

There's the possibility that you'll have to flash the ROM again, if a factory reset doesn't work. But again, there's the problem of getting to Fastboot/download mode without a power button.

Moral to this story; be cautious making system changes on a broken device [emoji6]
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Devices have a minimal dpi that can support and of course; a maximum.

As for the wallpaper they use the standard when the stock can't be displayed.

Try discharging your battery to 0 and try again the method, without a charge probably by connecting to a electric charger acts like if you are pressing power button. And use a source without other artifacts nor any prolonger cable but directly.
[General Questions and Answers] Gng28:
Go to a technician and they charged for 28$(just estimate based on our currency) for repair of my units power button, is it expensive?

9hrs later only got 6% out of 95 drained, so i need to completely drained the battery for me to try it again?

And also when i connect my phone to the pc, it will be detected but when i check it i don't see the internal storage? Is the phone still working?

Any case on how to authourized ADB without confirmation on the phone? Since UI is not responding.

Is there consequence for flashing without going under download mode?Odin can detect my phone.(Just thinking about it.)
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
to give it a try to this theory, yes, it would be better discharge it completely, in the past this used to work. About the price it could be slightly expensive, it depends on the region, maybe just some dollars up but you need it, consider not only about the piece that have to be replaced but technician needs to open your device and this takes time and skill to do it. If you don´t want to pay this amount atleast by now probably you can ask him for a short circuit (first charge well the battery) and do the trick with the buttons in his front, this will cost you no more than 5 bucks. (I would repair it but you´ll know)

This doesn´t mean nothing, If the option Charge Only is set by default then you won´t see your device through pc. (In transfer files mode)

There are some options to enable it but this is out your control so you can´t flash nothing in this state. You can´t flash nothing without going to recovery nor download mode. UI just refers to User Interface, is not an issue from hardware itself so don´t worry about more, a similar thing happened to me some years ago, of course with some plans to take hands on it´s not too hard to deal with.
[General Questions and Answers] nalexakis:
Is there anywhere I can buy a phone already rooted and customized to order? I've been searching online and having no luck. Feel free to pm me with offers.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, really?

Getting a pre-rooted device that is already setup exactly like you would want it is a pipedream in the first place, so go ahead and give up on that notion.

You probably won't find a place that specifically specializes in selling rooted/customized devices.

But, it is entirely possible to find a device that is already rooted, has TWRP installed and has a custom ROM installed. It might not be the latest version of TWRP or the specific ROM/setup that you would like it to be, but you can easily update the device to the latest version of TWRP and flash the ROM that you would like it to have then set it up the specific way that you would like it for yourself fairly easily with a little searching and reading. Provided that the software and customizations that you want are available for that device.

The market for rooted/customized devices does not have enough demand to make it worth pursuing as a specific business venture.

When it comes to having a device that is rooted and customized, it is all on you to do it, the same as it is on the rest of us here to do it for ourselves. Unless you buy a device and can find someone to pay to customize the device for you, which is a far stretch because finding someone to invest their time into customizing your device is not going to be easy at all.

So, pretty much, find a device that is for sale that is already rooted and at the same time, has the software that you would like available to the public to download that you can install for yourself. Be careful not to buy a device that does not have the customizations available that you would like to have.

I have seen pre-rooted/customized devices on eBay and on Swappa. But, you will have to look through the devices they have listed in order to find one that is already rooted and customized.
[General Questions and Answers] nalexakis:
I'm in a situation where I don't have access to a computer. No one here has a rooted phone and I was thinking if I had one I could run adb on termux and root other devices. So yeah, I'm just looking for a used phone that is capable of doing this and not too spendy. I just got a Xiaomi Mi A1 and want to root it. It's updated to the October security patch and running pie so I can't one click it. Most everyone here has oreo and wouldn't let me risk their phone. So that's why I want a already rooted phone.

Last time I did any phone work was when the HTC hd2 was new. Someone ported Windows XP for it and I could dual boot gingerbread, Windows mobile 6.x.x or xp. It was awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What I posted previously does not require a PC. If you buy a device that is rooted and already has TWRP installed and also has custom ROMs and mods available for it that you would like to use, those ROMs and mods can be flashed via the TWRP custom recovery that is already on the device. All you have to do is use your browser on the device to download the necessary ROM, gapps and mod files and store them on your device's internal or external storage(external storage is preferred), as long as they are flashable zips that are made to be flashed via custom recovery, they can be flashed using TWRP.
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
What is your plan to use ADB to root other devices?

Most modern devices need to have the bootloader unlocked first which requires a computer of some sort. A ChromeBook running Linux in developer mode is capable of doing this. Well, for sure for Fastboot devices since that's the tool I use. I'm less familiar with devices that don't use Fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You won't be able to root other phones with Termux.

You need fastboot for that, not ADB.

What is your android version and what is your specific build number?
[General Questions and Answers] MasterMarius:
Android version 6.0.1, build number MMB29M.N910FXXU1DRI2
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well, flashing cf auto-root or TWRP via Odin will not work on the DRI2 build number.

Using Magisk to create a patched boot.img will not work either.

The DRI2 build number has a locked bootloader, it will not allow you to flash any kind of custom software.

You will have to try the various universal android rooting apps such as Kingroot and others like it or universal android rooting programs on PC such as Kingoroot(that's King-o-root) and others like it and hope that one of them has an exploit that works on your device. Try many different programs, try different versions of those programs, older versions may or may not work and newer versions may or may not work.
[General Questions and Answers] MasterMarius:
What build number to use to be able to safely do all that I need? (CWM and Magisk <- still don't know how to properly set on my device)

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can try downgrading your stock firmware to the very first version of 6.0.1 by flashing the firmware via Odin then flash cf autoroot for N910F 6.0.1.

[General Questions and Answers] cubic25:
Hey all,

Over the last few months, I haven't been able to get Google assistant to make phone calls or send text messages. All other functions work.

When I say, 'call my wife', or 'send text message to wife', it tells me that function is unavailable.

It used to work flawlessly.

I have changed nothing to cause it. I just woke up one morning and it didn't work.

So far I have tried:

-Factory reset

-clear cache, etc

-Magisk hide on assistant app, call manager, Google play services, google text to speech and just about every Google linked app.

I am on latest stable Oos with latest XxX Rom.

The issue started around 3 months ago.

Where should i be looking to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Additional info: I have also just discovered that if I open the assistant app and type in 'call.........' or 'message........' , it says there is no app installed to perform that function.
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
Have you ensured you have the default apps set for phone and messaging. Assuming OOS is similar to stock android, settings -> apps & notifications -> advanced -> default apps
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It could be Magisk Hide causing issues.

Can you remember back to around three months ago and think of anything that you might have installed or modified in system or if you might have changed a setting to cause this?

If you are using a custom launcher or custom theme, it might be interfering.
[General Questions and Answers] cubic25:
All defaults are set and all permissions are ticked.

I didn't change anything. I just woke up one morning and it didn't work.
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
Look through app settings for the Google app, assistant and play services and make sure background data is not restricted. Do any apps have background data restricted?

Double check that all apps are properly updated to latest version.

In "your data in the assistant" settings (settings -> Google -> account services -> search, assistant & voice -> Google Assistant -> on the "You" tab) make sure app info and contact info is enabled.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
While, I've seen this kind of response before, it isn't likely to be true.

Weird bugs occurring for no apparent reason, after working just fine, are usually due to user error, whether aware or unaware.

Other than that, one other possibility for a random bug is if something automatically and the update isn't playing nice with something you already had.

-Unmounting the partitions.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file 'external_sdcard/Magisk-v20.0.zip(this is in red letters)

I'm starting to suspect the phone is rebooting itself due to hardware failure, as I was unable to install SuperSu at the beginning. (Though it only happens when on the actual Android OS, not on TWRP).

Any further suggestions, anyone, please?

EDIT: I am starting to suspect a major hardware failure. All SIMs I've tried (T-Mobile, Sprint, Tracfone, Cricket) says it's invalid, despite two of them working before with no problem. Perhaps getting the original stock ROM may fix the issue, but I imagine asking for it over here may be taboo.

Thanks for any assistance you may give me at this point.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are two ways of using Magisk to root.

1) Use Magisk on PC to create a patched boot image, then flash the patched boot image via your devices specific flashtool(the same tool used to flash your stock firmware and to flash TWRP)

Or

2) flash TWRP then use TWRP to flash the Magisk installer then reboot to system and install the Magisk app.

If you're getting errors, post your questions in the Magisk thread.
[General Questions and Answers] ktmom:
If you were previously rooted, Magisk will kick out those errors. You need to completely unroot before attempting to install Magisk. There is a unsu.zip in osm0sis' Odds and Ends thread.

If your device is rooted by modifying the boot.img, then flashing the untouched stock boot.img will also unroot (the original boot.img for whatever ROM you are using, stock OS or custom ROM).

If your device roots by patching the recovery.img, then do the same but with the recovery.img.

Please read and understand Magisk Documentation and reference Magisk and MagiskHide Installation and Troubleshooting guide

At this point, I don't think you have an option but to start over with a clean flash. SuperSu is really not a viable root option on modern devices. It's not been updated in years.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If I had a modern device that Magisk was an actual option to root the device, I'd have a better understanding of troubleshooting issues involved with Magisk. The only knowledge I have concerning Magisk is just in what I've researched and read, I don't have the "hands on" to go with it. The rest of you guys have a better understanding of it than I do.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Modern device?

The SM-S767VL/Galaxy J7 came out with Oreo I believe, and Magisk supports Oreo.

The problem isn't an old device, the problem is Samsung and Knox, and not having an S series device that [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] always tries to add support for.

For me personally, I quit Samsung after the S3 when the news about Knox came out about it being introduced on the S4. Trying to stop me from rooting? I'll find a new OEM.

EDIT: It should work on your phone as well, but you would need to extract the boot.img on your PC, transfer that to your phone, patch the boot.img with Magisk Manager, transfer that back to your PC, and flash it with ODIN.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, but, I didn't say I didn't have a modern device, I said "if I had a modern device that Magisk was actually an option for rooting". As in, locked bootloader, no flashing patched boot.img and no flashing TWRP. Rooting via flashing isn't an option for me, rooting via an app on android or PC is the only option and none work, lol. A dead fish as far as I'm concerned.

I broke my old phone, it was a quick, cheap, reasonable spec replacement device.

Not a noob but I'm not quite sure what other forum thread to post this in so here goes...

I use the default Chrome bookmarks widget in list view. Its simple and functional. However, it's odd that after all this time it still doesn't have an option to adjust the transparency so far as I can tell.

Any recommendations or suggestions for accomplishing this or perhaps another app/widget??
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Its "Noob friendly"not just for noobs.

I do not use any browser bookmark widgets, so do not have a direct answer to your question. However, I do use a very powerful launcher. One of the many many features / properties that you can set on a widget is the transparency. I have not used nor tested this specific feature. Its a paid app. Its called Lightning Launcher. I have been using it for 5+ years. Probably because it has soooo many features, it has a VERY steep learning curve, but I have never looked back. Also, the default setup when you first install it is a pretty bad introduction, and may tempt you to uninstall or not upgrade to the full version.
[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
I use Nova Launcher but to be honest I don't think that would make a difference. Even in nova you can adjust the transparency of the app drawer and such within nova but it's not able to override and thus alter the transparency of another widget.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I repeat, this launcher has features beyond any other launcher I have tried; although I have stopped searching now. Including rotation (0-360), resizing outside of the grid (while rotating at the same time) and there is also a transparency setting for the widget on your home page, not just the app draw as well as overlapping etc etc etc.

Which launcher makes all the difference as to what features are available within your launcher. Lightning Launcher is really outside of the normal features expected from a launcher.
