[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KittenSauce:
Yes, yes, I know, this device is practically as old as Android itself. But, I still use it! Which entitles me to at least something, right...?

Anyway, I've been trying to update this device from it's ancient firmware of Android 1.6 (it was never updated to 2.2). I tried using it on a Windows 10 machine, and of course the drivers don't work. So I tried it on Windows 7... Windows Vista... Windows XP 64-bit. None of them worked! Finally, I tried using Windows XP 32-bit. It was the only OS that recognized fastboot as "Android 1.0" for more than a few seconds. It wouldn't let me install the drivers, however, as it just told me that they weren't compatible. They are the lastest Android fastboot drivers, though, and I guess they don't play nice with... the oldest version of Android. I haven't been able to find older drivers though.

When running the RUU in normal Android OS mode, it says it can't detect the phone, and it's listed as a storage device in device manager.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't want this phone to die just yet!

EDIT: Nevermind, after a huge charade of dualbooting Windows and Ubuntu, I managed to get to the 2005 HBOOT and to flash the 32B Amon Ra recovery! Now to find a ROM that actually works :P
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Starchild2k:
I am releasing today a updated version of TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy J700P. This project was rebuilt by me using the 6.01 Stock Kernel instead of the 5.1 kernel that is used in the first release. I also noticed that in the original TWRP the partitions were not setup correctly for backup. If you did a backup in the first copy it had EFS as a option in the backup list and when you select that and do a restore it will cause the phone to soft brick to the point even the stock rom couldn't fix it. The EFS partition wasn't restoring correctly due the configuration in the recovery.FSTAB it was erasing the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions so i reconfigured the FSTAB to support all partitions on the phone itself enabling you to make the correct backups/restores of the phone. I renamed the assert to it's default name which is j7ltespr so it makes it even easier to make custom roms flash correctly without error. Remember this is still in BETA i will be releasing a FINAL build very very soon.

REQUIREMENTS:

Odin 3.10/3.11(For Flashing TWRP)

Install Instructions:

1.Download TAR file from forum (LINK BELOW)

2. Put Phone in Download Mode(When phone is off press buttons:VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER Press VOLUME UP to continue)

3.Open Odin up and select AP Then select the file where ever you downloaded the Twrp Tar file from this forum

4. ENJOY!

________________________________________________

Fix for Soft Brick:

NOTES: Use this only if you used the first TWRP and did a backup and restore and it soft bricked your J700P phone! You may need to do a factory reset to get things working right again or even use the stock firmware TAR file for your J700P phone variant (BOOST,SPRINT,VIRGIN MOBILE)

REQUIREMENTS:

1. twrp from this forum (LINK BELOW)

2. External SD (If you decide you want to use the Internal SD instead of the External SD, in step 5. type cd /sdcard instead of cd /external_sd then continue on with step 6)

Install Instructions:

1. Download modem files.zip (LINK BELOW)

2. Extract modem files to external SD

3. Enter Recovery Mode (When Phone is off press and hold buttons VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER until TWRP loads)

4. Click Advanced then click on Terminal

5. Type cd /external_sd and press ENTER

6. Type flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 modemst1.img and press ENTER

7. Type flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 modemst2.img and press ENTER

8. DONE!

HOLY CRAP IT WORKS AGAIN! You're a genius! You need any help for anything (like testing), talk to me. Have you restored the IMEI at all?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Starchild2k:
yes I have! I am currently using this as my main phone. Anyways if your having problems getting the IMEI to register to the phone then you may have to contact your carrier and get your MSL code from them they will know what number to give you! After getting the MSL code write it down for safe keeping and then go to the dialer and press ##786# The RTN menu will come up and click on reset and put in your MSL code for your phone and it will wipe the phone completely and then ur good to go for re-activation.

Wow! So other than MTP, this is a fully functional TWRP for the J700P? Also when an MTP update is available we'll be able to flash it from this one?

I've never used MTP from a recovery myself so I'll just use this one when I'm next home.

Thanks so much.

Sorry to tell you this, but your J7 does not have a kernel. I don't know what would happen if I were to try building TWRP for your device. I will try a build with the closest variant to your device.

Softbrick Issues

Ive followed the softbrick instructions exactly as described and it doesnt seem to be working...not sure what Im doing wrong or what the problem is. When I type in "cd/external_sd" and hit enter the text repeats itself on the line below and says "not found" Then it does the same thing for each of the modem files I enter. I removed the external SD card and reformatted it and dragged the modem files back on to it and tried it again and got the same results. I restarted the device and the soft brick remained. Im currently trying some different things to see if I can figure it out by accident...LOL! Assistance with this would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Starchild2k:
You must flash my twrp first with odin then you should have no problem seeing external_sd if your still having issues with this i will make a zip so that u can install the fix automatically u can also install the fix from the /sdcard directory as well

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] steppinthrax:
Biggest thing I've noticed with this new phone is how easy it s to softboot it. I noticed that once you roll it into recovery, and perform some work. Upon reboot you will get an "Seandroid not enforcing" and it will keep rebooting. Until I install TWRP Recovery again.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GIGZ1971:
I did this method after installing TWRP 3.0.2.0 and when my phone restarted i was in digital roaming and could not activate phone. I tried to reinstall default samsung rom and it had the same problem...i fixed it by dialing ##72786# from the phone dialer and it reprogrammed the phone so that it would activate. BTW thanks for all yours and others hard work

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] AndroidPurity:
On 10/17/16 I took the OTA to take me from the July Security patch to the September security patch, with build number G935TUVU4APIA.

With in the first day of the update I experienced the phone freezing on the home screen, then rebooting. Later on I found it had rebooted while in my pocket (prompted for pin and system up time was minutes). Ever since over past 6 days it has become frozen and rebooted multiple times a day. Anywhere 2 to 5 times a day doing various different things.

I have tried clearing all system and app cache since after the update. Unfortantely that has not helped at all. So what I would like to know is anyone else on this build experiencing these reboots, or was before and fixed it?

I'm trying to determine if its a bug with this build, cause I will be really annoyed if I have to go through the trouble of a factory reset, then find out it didn't help cause its an issue with this specific build. If some other stock people can confirm this build is not rebooting for them I will give factory reset a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Shrubby:
Idon't have this build installed yet but the previous one and had the same issue, turned out to be my alarm clock plus app causing it to reboot on an alarm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] AndroidPurity:
Dang that sucks, worse time for it to fail when its supposed to wake you up lol! Thanks or the suggestion but I don't think its app related since it happens on home screen, in app drawer, in chrome, and in my pocket with screen off. Unless its an app in the back ground. But I haven't installed any new in past 5 days apps that I would say are uncommon that aren't supported well.

Edit: I just checked. Since the OTA I did install 1 app the day after. The Nexia app for smart thermostat that came with my new furnace. I don't think thats it since I can recall at least 1 reboot after the OTA and before that app. But just in case I will uninstall that app for a couple days just to test. Thanks!

I had a serious freeze/lock up last night. I am on the same build and NOT rooted. I even tried holding down the power button and the phone was unresponsive. Cap. keys stayed lit the whole time. After holding down for 45 sec or so it finally relented and rebooted. But this combined with random heat surges/ups really have me pissed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] avengethis1:
Had the same issue. On u firmware now cuz i couldnt take it. One thing that seemed to help some was removing the sd card and wiping cache then rebooting. I let it run for a few hours then put in sd card. Seemed to help alot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] AndroidPurity:
I'm back to follow up with the results from uninstalling the only app I installed since the update. It actually almost went 24 hours without a freeze and reboot. I was starting to think it actually was the culprit. But then I had 2 freezes and reboot today. ��

So I have switched back to my Nexus 6P for a while. Thanks to those who also reported the same issue! Since other people are reporting the same issue it seems to be a bug in this build unfortunately. So here is to Samsung pushing out a fix soon. Until then I will be using my 6P. If they haven't fixed it in a couple weeks then I will probably flash to the U firmware too. What variant is the U firmware from anyways? The unlocked North America variant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] lakatua:
I installed the update and have been running it for the past four days with no problems to report thus far. If I get a reboot or any freezing I'll let you folks know. Perhaps try a factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] OuncE718:
I get a reboot twice a day. Sometimes the phone will freeze while I'm scrolling through my internet browser or it will reboot if I'm using the SAMSUNG branded car charger and Google Maps at the same time. Other times it'll just randomly reboot out of nowhere.

This is extremely frustrating. T-Mobile recommended that I get an exchange and I did get an exchange and the same day it rebooted on me. I called complaining that it's not a hardware issue and they told me to exchange the phone again. Smh.

This sucks especially since I use GPS a lot. This phone was/is perfect before the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] AndroidPurity:
Yeah... Carriers need to train their employees to be able to know how to tell the difference between a hardware and software issue. For example if a user reports something didn't happen until a recent update, then that should be an automatic sign to not waste that customers time with a pointless exchange.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Ulukaii1983:
Hi,

since a couple of days, I have this problem with my Yoga book:

- Halo (= hardware) keyboard is active and lit up

- when I enter a text input field in any app (Firefox...), the onscreen keyboard will pop up.

- as soon as I start typing on the Halo keyboard, the onscreen keyboard will disappear

- but the first typed letter will - most of the time - be missing in my text

Expected behaviour: no onscreen keyboard will pop up if I have hw keyboard activated.

How can I fix this?

What are the proper settings in the keyboard settings menu?

Is there any other setting I might have missed?

hey, i'm not familiar with the settings in English...but let's try...

try to uncheck 'show input method' at the bottom of the menu where you can switch between the keybords.
