[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Selur91:
I've tried it on a SM-J730F/DS, the TWRP works, but when I try to reboot into android it just gets into a bootloop.

I still can boot into download mode and Odin connects, but I just cannot open my phone as usual, since whenever I try it just goes into this bootloop where the Samung Galaxy J7 logo shows but nothing more.

Is there any way to undo the installation or fix the boot?

EDIT1: I might have used the BL instead of the AP in Odin when flashing it, I'm downloading a full stock from samsung-firmware.com and will try to re-flash the bootloader with what I download from there, I'll post in around 12 hours(the page is really slow) I've tried to find it in sammobile but they don't have my region Spain(XEC) there, and I don't know If I can use a BL from another region. If anyone has any suggestion I'm open to all ideas.

EDIT2: Found this other page updato.com, downloaded the firmware from there in minutes, used Odin to re-flash everything back into place, went to the process like it was an update with the bluescreen, and then it booted into decrypting my phone, but still booted again mid decrypt. Went again to install this TWRP and wiped and formatted all data, then it went into the bootloop again. Removed the TWRP again using the stock I downloaded but still no luck, this time is frozen in Installing applications... With installed a lot of bloatware into my phone but made it work again. Thought I'd share the whole process just in case someone else runs into the same problem.

I tried to flash TWRP on my dual-SIM J730F.

The flashing process goes well, but then the phone reboots and TWRP is not installed at all.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] kokopo:
I have the same problem, and downgrade not working
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] sonus.faber:
I tried to flash TWRP 3 times and everytime, even if Odin says succeed... TWPR is not installed.

The 4th time... different story (why???). The phone rebooted but then using VolUp+Home+Power it brings FINALLY TWPR installed!!!

But there is now another problem.

Entered TWRP, just to see it was installed, i rebooted and now the phone starts to boot, the Samsung logo appears, then disappears and appears again... it is looping.

Using VolUp+Power+Home brings again the TWRP; using VolDonw+Power+Home brings the donwload mode, but the phone does not boot into android.

If I switch off and then on, the phone boots in TWRP.

Can not understand
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] sonus.faber:
Tried again.

- Original firmware reloaded

- enabled USB debug and anything elese

- TWPR loaded, ok

- boot into Android OS, OK

- power off and reboot in Android OS... again OK, everything works

- reboot in recovery: TWRP pops up, OK

- no action, then power off and reboot into Android: Samsung logo keeps looping

The J7 starts looping only after I enter TWRP.

Please how did you reload original firmware? Where did you download it from?

Do you know where I can get original firmware for J730GM binary version 5?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Shineali:
After trying several procedures I managed to start the mobile following this method, I put it if it serves you:

Tested with a j730f, the problem I had was that I did not detect the touch screen after updating to nougat because the screen is not original and gave me loop in the samsung logo, I installed several recoveries but gave me bootlop or always restarted in twrp:

1.- Install TWRP_3.2.3_J7Pro_j7y17lte via Odin and remove the Autoreboot check. After flashing in AP, do the combination to enter in Download mode but as soon as the screen is turned off release the Vol button - and press the vol + button to enter in the recovery.

2.- Inside the recovery, when I hit wipe I got mount error in data and system partitions.

3.- As I was desperate after hundreds of attempts, I installed this rom because I read that it solved the error of the touchscreen: SuperStock_Final_Nougat_Version_@gaganbajwa.
[MENTION=228437]xdadevelopers[/MENTION].

4.- In Advanced Wipe I selected data and there Repair or Change file system-->Change file system and I chose FAT. Then I do the same steps but this time instead of choosing FAT you choose EXT4.

5.- I did the same steps of point 4 but now with the system partition.

6.- I hit it to restart and it started perfectly.

I hope it helps you.

By the way, now in the phone information I get that is a J730GM.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] payback53:
in twrp 321 first changing the partition to EXT2 and then again changing to EXT4 was the best solution for evry issue like storage

but with this 323 changing partitions won't do anything best way is to format data and boom

This works on the pixel 2. I'm not sure if it'll work on the 5x. adb shell settings put global wifi_sleep_policy 0. 0=never when sleep, 1=only when plugged in
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] oSandmaNo:
I'm planning to get either one but user reviews of the XL on online retailers are really scaring me. Especially since Google doesn't RMA devices so easily in India(according to the user reviews). I might get a defective unit and be stuck with it. The regular pixel 2 doesn't seem to have any sort of issues with it's screen or speakers. I've read reports of the XL speakers getting distorted, microphone stops working, certain areas of the screen stop responding to touch, etc.

Just wanted to check if you guys have seen such problems and if it is widespread before I make my decision tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
Had my 2xl Since November. Love it. Slight blue tint when viewed at an angle. I don't even notice it in everyday use. None of the other problems at all. I thought the Pixel 2 was too small for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:
I get about 7hr sot and with same usage my friend gets max 4hr sot on his pixel 2

That's more than anything for me to buy xl lol

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
My 2 XL has very slight blue tint (a non-issue for me)

There is also very slight colour temperature changes and it's visible when you're on a white/light background. However, again, it's so slight it's a non-isssue for me

The bottom speaker rattles slightly when at max or near max volume, but tweaking the phone speaker with V4A hes helped with that enough where again, it has become a non-issue

Other than that, I always prefer the bigger version of phones, as it's easier for me to type on and consuming media is also going to be better on a bigger display

Even if I was a small phone guy, the big bezels on the smaller Pixel makes the design look a bit outdated

However, if you're saying it's hard to get an RMA done in India, it's up to you on whether or not you're willing to essentially gamble on a good unit, but I think you'll be fine as long as you're not the type to nitpick!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
Well if anything i will advise you to get the pixel XL 2 if you are torn between the two. However new phones are being revealed in a weeks time and will be released in a months time. I'd say wait before you purchase a pixel. New devices will have new soc in it making it faster and mrore efficient. Don't rush my friend unless you clearly want a goolge device
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] oSandmaNo:
I went ahead and ordered the smaller Pixel 2.

Even in the XDA Indian users thread, people were complaining about the terrible RMA process.

I don't mind the blue tint, but the distorted speaker problem will be too awful. I don't want to use V4A. And its way more expensive to take such a gamble.

I definitely want a Google phone. I miss my nexuses and their quick updates. If I wait for the S9, it would probably get updates upto P and Q, but the Pixel 2 should reach R! Samsungs are not smooth. I used an S8 plus for a while and there was noticeable delay compared to a One Plus 5.

Got a couple of discounts on the Pixel 2, and I bought it :)

So this is only for 7.1.1 ? not 7.1.2?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
7.1.2 official and my port(both build 1015) have some stabillity issues, thus the reason i stuck with build 1013 7.1.1
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Deleted member 2358282:
Be same for the 3/32 ROM as well?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
nope 3/32GB variant has a newer build with alot of fixes(build 1075), so the 3/32GB variant will be 7.1.2, ill do more work on the 2/16GB variant and try porting the 1075 build from the 3/16GB variant

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
Hey, great rom. It's super fast and lean.

Few questions.

How do I get my kodi build to auto load into kodi on start. I've added the kodi.zip into the media folder from your 7.1.2 rom, but i'm assuming it needs a trigger for this rom?

Also, the boot animation is SUPER loud. Is there a way to turn off the sound, remove it or replace it?

Cheers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
in /system/etc get the bootvideo

rename it bootvideo.mp4

remove the audio with whatever program you desire on pc, rename back to bootvideo, place back in system/etc, reboot

As for kodi, you can download the latest kodi, i use kodi 18, i havent messed around with extensions or addons

Also thanks for the feedback
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
[MENTION=8601102]simonchunk[/MENTION] Link for the boot video with no sound, download here

Just place it as Ricky has said above in system/etc, overwrite existing file, reboot and should be no sound.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] simonchunk:
Thanks guys ?

Just to be clear with my kodi question, I want it to load a certain build on first boot. I akready know how to load kodi and other apps.

I've seen the stock boxes do this and I've found a kodi.zip in the 'media' folder of the 7.1.2 rom. The zip contains a build. Dies anyone know how to get it to load on first boot?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
ill look into it, shouldnt be too hard
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
I have memory usage for the 2/16Gb variant hovering extremely low, the system is blazing fast.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Hi Ricky... So can i flash this rom using custom recovery from your other build? :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Aslong as your device currently has 7.1.1 installed yes, simple perform a wipe and flash
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Yes my box runs 7.1.1 thanks :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
If your limited with data I suggest you wait until tonight, update 2 is coming out and will support custom wallpapers
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] k.martin:
Well im happy to wait in that case [emoji23] limited with data?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Install went smooth (from 7.1.1l but will replace boot-animation with no-sound edition ;) #whatanoise

Another question...is it possible to put a bunch of APK's i always use in a folder or something to be installed 'automagiccaly' or is that possible with Aroma later on?

So far so good! #goodwork #readyfortesting

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Okay...after some minutes i noticed the following:

*It's fast!!!

* Google Play services are out of date

* Google Play still wants you to accept agreements every time you start it up

* Google Play still starts an update every time you start it up (could be services related)

* Almost no apps installed (no browser/kodi etc). And yes, I waited aprrox 7 minutes after first boot like before.

I presume it is to keep the ROM as clean as possible? But if so, after you click an icon you should be able to select an app you installed yourself maybe? Cause even after I install Chrome, browser button on home-screen says: app isn't installed

* Changing Clock in Screensaver Settings from Digital to Analogue does not work. (I know, not mportant at all)

* Netflix not possible to install from PlayStore (was not possible before also). Maybe easy to fix if device name is changed?

*Maybe Developer Mode should be enabled by default? (to use USBdebugging/Unknown sources)

* Did I mentioned already that it is blazing fast?

* I don't use WiFi but it seems to work just fine

That's it for starters....so no big things at all, a very good score for a first release!!!

Thanks!

I was under the presumption TVirl was specifically made for Android TV and not standard Android, just lucky that it is able to be sideloaded. I've never used it though, I use IPTV Extreme Pro for IPTV.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Yes android tv apps says it's not compatible, problem is this is not an android tv, it's a standard android device with a launcher that supports massive resolutions

For installing android TV apps, you can just get a 3rd party app store
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Okay, i will test and let know if sideloading works....
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kramer9:
Would anyone know why some videos play pixelated? can there be any missing codecs in the android system after installing the poison rom?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Well...you guys are right (of course)...even with sideloading those 'android TV' apk's won't work. They will be installed without error, but that's it. Starting the app will result in an error or simply nothing at all.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Sorta true, sorta false, you can launch from within tv settings, just click settings, apps, choose the app and click open

I hope this isn't too off topic but I was wondering what YouTube tv version people use on their box? The latest version for me works fine but search always wants to use voice which I can't do and then crashes when I go back.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] mctiew:
Clear the data and cache. And when restarted, it will ask for permission. And then you don't grant permission.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marty_s13:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Next version I'll make an update package with multiple apps and include it with the disabled voice search function

Any apps you can suggest etc would be great
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
.

Well...for starters ;)

I like Simple Reboot (or Quick Reboot Pro from XDA-apps, also free) better than what is installed right now cause it offers more reboot options versus only 'reboot into recovery'.

Apps I use:

YouTube HD (already mentioned, maybe addless tv-version possible?)

Netflix HD (already mentioned)

Teamviewer

Cetusplay (cause I can't use Anyremote on my T95Zplus and Yatse does not work systemwide, only kodi)

An IPTV-app (IPTV Extreme Pro already mentioned)

Adblocker (already baked in ROM)

So really not much to ask for! ;)

Maybe a lean and clean Kodi build, but that's cause I don't use (streaming) addons
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
Issue:

Has anyone come across a situation which I have had multiple times, with and without the Poison Rom installed...Where the home screen, right after a power up or reboot, where the screen goes on and off needing a reboot to fix?

3/32 Variant with 7.1.2
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
No, but i had problems with screen go on-off-reboot caused by a defective (original) power adapter. Maybe the connection is a little loose? #worthtrying
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
So youre saying it rebooted on its own? Mine just flashes screen.....until I manage to reboot it
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Well..when power connection is loose, strange things can happen....took me a while figuring out it was the adapter cause it started first after flashing... :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] marty_s13:
Yes the power adaptor on a lot of these seem to be really poor quality. I had all sorts of booting issues which confused me for a while until I got a better power supply. Working fine now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
Lol...i am running from USB-power for months now. For some reason i didn't order a new supply yet....well, as long as i dont need this USBport... ;)

So you could switch to USBpower for a while to rule power adapter out as source for your problems...
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ZeroZorro:
I think that Cetusplay could be useful to a lot of users.

The same goes for IPTV Extreme (Pro), i bought that last week and it's

way

much better than PlaylisTV i used before that. It would even re-install the config/setup after ROM update from the server at first start i think ;)

Does anyone have a link to the 7.1.1 image file for 3gb/32gb variant?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
If it is already on 7.1.2, you can flash twrp and then flash Poison, if you are only on 7.1, then no.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] whiteak:
I haven't actually tried, but I imagine it should work, not the way that I would do it, but if you do, let us know of the results.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] baileyrhood90:
Thanks so much for your timely response. Yes I am using real debrid. I am a very tech savvy person and I can't figure this out for the life of my. I'm about to lose it for real.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Shipwreck65:
OK, I went ahead and flashed the recovery.img successfully and seem to have installed the Poison ROM as well.... However, when I rebooted the box it seemed to start up fine.... I got the poison logo for a bit and then the screen went black. I assumed this was the apps installing as mentioned in the original post, but the screen remained black for over 30 minutes. So I rebooted and it started up the same way, but froze on the Poison animation.

I then rebooted to recovery, did a wipe, then reinstalled the Poison zip, again it seemed to start fine... Poison logo came up, Poison animation played, but then it sat there on the Poison logo for the longest time...

Not sure what I might be doing wrong.... I'm using an M96X Plus box, 2/16 with Android 7.1.2 if that helps.
