[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
Hello guys,my friend got this (SM-J7108) phone in Romania some weeks ago from emag.ro (A trusted seller). After a time the phone got an update and he made it, now there is no more romanian language, he can't use frontal camera or flash. He made factory reset, from the android and the recovery. I wanted to flash the android with odin but i saw that the phone is for Asia market and can't find the rom, is that true? And what can i do? He sent me photos with the box, a lot of chinese things on the box but the recovery is full in english, no chinese at all. I told him to make a ticket on the seller site to solve the problem but i first want to know more details about this phone and what really happened here. Thanks ! xD

[XDA Assist] Duende101:
My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.

Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....

OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?

Your rooted, but stuck.

So my main question is:

What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?

On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.

Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?

Thanks in advance.

Additional backstory if helpful.

I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..

This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the

box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers.

I have discussed this problem in another thread if more details on all this specific to this device are of interest.
[XDA Assist] Sam Nakamura:
Hello & welcome to xda-assist,

If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

http://xdaforums.com/android/help
[XDA Assist] Duende101:
Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.

Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.

It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?

The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks
[XDA Assist] Sam Nakamura:
The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..

Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..
[XDA Assist] Duende101:
Totally cool. It's a tough question.

The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] ArcherEmiya:
Since K10 is now rootable for MTK variants. Anyone who try to enter TWRP recovery using an app called Root Rashr Flash Tool to enter the recovery without using adb and PC. I use it before but not a 100% sure if I do it in a right way. So anyone? This may help a lot of us to know if K10 may enter TWRP without PC
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Professor Woland:
As far as I remember rashr doesn't have option to boot recovery from storage, but have only options to install recovery or boot to installed one. For K10 fastboot is required to boot to twrp. I'm not sure why twrp can't be flashed..?
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] gottlasz:
There is a security signature in the stock recovery image that would be required to be pasted into the twrp (like in case of Bump! but it's smarter on newer lg phones). Without it phone gets bricked. I guess this signature is also there in the boot image and after making systemless root this signature probably gets corrupted so i don't know how can our device boot up after systemless root :) . I read some comments that newer security level firmwares (december and january) can't be rooted and maybe this is the reason (i mean maybe in newer firmwares the boot partition is also verified by this signature).

We would need something like bump. I tried some hex editors and pasted the final lines to the end of the twrp from the stock recovery but it didn't work. I guess this signature is like a crc code so it might be generated from the image base but i have no idea how...
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Professor Woland:
I really don't get them, if they want to sell phones which won't get much updates, than they should make it easyer to instal twrp/unlock bootloader/make custom rom.

Hm I would like to help but my reverse engineering/developing skils are poor. Any hints how to find that signature?

I tought twrp couldn't be flashed because of size, but that won't be big trouble however.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] gottlasz:
Size is not a problem anymore. The recovery partition is 16Mb while the 3.0.2 TWRP is approx 11-12Mb. However i already gave up on searching the signature. I spent days on it and i found a signature (quite long one actually) in the end of each partition (boot, recovery, laf,...). I succesfully added the same signature from the stock recovery to the TWRP but it bricked the phone after i flashed it. Then i found that each signature differs a bit depending on firmware security level and the partition itself so i believe the signature is generated like a crc code or some secret way and totally firmware and partition dependent... no way to generate it by ourselves if we don't know the method.

P.S. i don't care if they sell phones i'm unable to root etc... but why on earth can we not delete unnecessary stock apps to free up space and memory...:eek:
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Professor Woland:
In that case probably signature is from more parts one part is to verify to the phone, and one part is to verify the name or some other specific from recovery so you can't just paste signature to any recovery. If we only could "decrypt" signature. And find a way to create it. Could you upload that signature you found to pastebin or whatever you like?
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] gottlasz:
I'll send it to you tomorrow or on Monday in pm.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] bathrobehero:
Hey, so I really want to root my A5 as I have a few issues with it unrooted (mostly with wakelocks) and just generally dislike using it unrooted but as far as I can see there's isn't an option yet.

I'm offering a $50 bounty in BTC to whoever creates the tools and a short guide to root it without tripping Knox.

I know it's not much but others might chip in as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] bassbounce:
There is already root available since yesterday.

Unfortunately only with cwm look at this link.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] bathrobehero:
I see, nice. And do we know who made it?

I'll wait for a few replies if it's really works without tripping Knox though.

I'm out of the loop why people hate CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] tys0n:
CWM will trip knox for sure. Only way without knox tripped would probably be to get a hold of engineer sboot/boot combination from samsung and be able to root it through ADB.

I used this method today ive also used in the past the twrp method prefer the cwm one though far less steps found though cwm has a lot more chance of bootlooping but far easier ... so to sum up cwm version easy 2 steps really but very finicky... twrp lot more stable but a little more complicated dmverity etc... will again comment in a couple of days let you know how cwm is going now i have stabilized it....

[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
thanks.but I cant find the app when I search this in google..
[Android Apps and Games] bomblader:
You can find the app here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.surodev.suamp

I just installed it and I have to say... it's amazing :)
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
ok I found!but I can stream y.t videos.it says error code 5.
[Android Apps and Games] Ionut Cristea:
Currently working on that issue to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] kos25k:
thanks dude.will we be able to search straight just a youtube video?Like Y Music app.when I pressed search,it said me something that my list doesnt support..also when I press a file (mp3) doesnt give me option to open with suamp.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58a5af3495b62/Screenshot_20170216-155332.png?
[Android Apps and Games] Ionut Cristea:
Just create a playlist and switch to it. You will be able then to search youtube media.
[Android Apps and Games] Doggie52:

Do someone have ideas on how the app can be improved?

One thing for me. Looks like there is no support for viper audio. Viper is not processing the audio when it plays (similar to soundcloud app).
[Android Apps and Games] Ionut Cristea:

If you could build in some history functionality so that users can access their last played videos/songs, that would be great!

Downloading its possible, but because the app is on google play too and downloading will violate some of Google rules, the function was disabled.

[Android Apps and Games] htr5:
I am able to use it with Viper4Android without any problems. Maybe it's your installation or device/rom

- - - - - - - - -

Suggestions for dev:

• The app shouldn't run in fullscreen/immersive mode.

• The main menu screen has a search button in the top right. This should be able to search YouTube in my opinion. If possible, you could show the local file/playlist results at the top.

• LG Stock 6.0 ROM is showing on the lockscreen the song name as exactly 'fhgfhjgfhjfg' or exactly 'Artist Name'

• After pausing the track, the notification should be able to be swiped away.

• Main screen shows three dots animation for me rather than media controls like in your screenshots.

• Make future design changes conform to android standards such as increasing size of buttons in burger menu to standard

Otherwise, good job, keep it up

You can convert Spotify/Deezer/Soundcloud playlists to youtube playlists using http://www.playlist-converter.net/

Well viper works in other apps like Youtube ogyoutube or n7player. I have a LG G2 running crDroid rom on 7.1.1. Viper just doesn't process the audio from soundcloud(but i'm not using it anymore and there is modded apk for viper users) and on Suamp

I tried syncing my YouTube account. The permissions screen appeared and worked fine, but once I hit OK, it gave me an "Operation Failed: Error code 4".

Trying to import a private playlist gives the same error.

Swapping to the Playlists menu while a stream is going on might crash the app.

I'm having these soft popping noises in my earbuds when using this app. The equalizer is off, buffer is at 1000 ms, and I can confirm that the earbuds don't pop at anything else.

Otherwise, the app seems to work great. Definitely would recommend.
[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
Salut! :)

Great app, mate! The kind of app that I was expecting for a long time: being able to play youtube with my phone locked, without root.

I have only one suggestion: can you, please, make folder play mode for local storage files? I keep my music organised in folders and I really can.t use it "la gramada" :)).

Thank you and good luck with your work.

I, too, am getting Viper not processing with this app, though it processes all other audio.

It's an interesting and useful-looking app, just needs some polish and maybe a few things here and there.

Only when I select shuffle on app crash, but only the first time (I was moving in audio track too, so maybe I was asking to much :silly: ).

In next day I will try more deeper and give you more feedback, for now perfect!

Hello [MENTION=8075901]Ionut Cristea[/MENTION] :D

I have tested new version using two devices:

Nexus 5x stock, no root, with android 7.1.2 has no big problems, I have played more than an hour almost without problems. Audio tracks flew away good and no problem loading next tracks; only two time app crash suddenly.

Ulefone Metal stock with android 6 instead has still problems. Almost always audio track doesn't finish, stop and maybe next track begins. Maybe because sometimes it simply stops at a certain time (e.g. 1m30sec) and can not go over, first piece play good, but last is like if it doesn't exist. A couple of time I have received a #2 error too.

With this devices problems are a little strange; is there a way to give you a more detailed log? I wish I could be more useful.

Finally there a little problem with GUI; showing playlists, I can not edit last playlist while an audio is playing, because three dots are covered by floating button.

Wonderful work with latest update! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Ionut Cristea:

Any chance for introducing SID and SAP plugins?
[Android Apps and Games] Doggie52:
Pretty sure the development focus should be on improving the UI and reliability rather than including miscellaneous retro computer music plugin?

Still a clunky interface to use. Takes many clicks to get to what you want to hear. Also, supporting YT live streams would be absolutely amazing.
