[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] nasralli:
so here's my story:

I bought a used j7 prime. it had android 6.0.1 and it was working fine. even though it didn't seem rooted, the device status was custom and i couldn't get updates. so i downloaded android 7 firmware and i flashed it with Odin. the phone worked fine but i was getting the famous "not registered on network" error. I tried different solution that only made the phone worse. the last thing i tried was flashing an EFS folder ( i think ) that i downloaded through odin and the got messed up. so i flashed android 7 again but then my IMEI was unknown, so i rooted the phone and tried to restore the EFS folder that i had already backed up using EFS Professional, but i get an error message saying "unable to extract archive".

i have no idea what to do and i really need help.

thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] A S Ovin:
I have the same problem on my SM-610F that I bought thinking that flashing would fix the prob.

It also says that the Device Status is custom and IMEI is unknown.

I didn't do any modification after buying it.

Just flashed TWRP by Odin and now it's it says Unable to mount /data.

Been searching for further fixes so far. ??
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] AmirRouichi:
this happend to a lot, well just install any roms here you will get imei back.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] A S Ovin:
Any rom means any Custom ROM? I've tried flashing the stock rom, but in vain.

Service Centre told me to send it back to Oman where it was brought from. ??
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Krish0705:
There are 2 ways to bring back the imei

1. you need to flash custom rom or stock rom ( Custom rom link: https://xdaforums.com/t/therealrom-pure-edition-g610x-9.4009347/

Note: Before installation remove the sim. One installation done and reboot the system and once home screen comes insert the sim)

2. one more method is there try once it may helpful for you. First remove the sim from the device. Do network setting reset in the Settings->About-> Reset option-> Select only Network and wifi reset. Note this will erase your saved network passwords. Then install google dialer from playstore. Run the below code *#*#27262826#*#* in google dialer. A screen will come to install CSC features. In the first drop down select the country you want (for india select INS) and submit. Reboot the system. After completion insert the sim and enjoy ur mobile network. It will work for VOLTE. If above code doesn't pop up that option then u need to install rom again.

do it this only in
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Otus9051:
About the /data thing. Go to TWRP, select wipe, advanced wipe, click on data, select Repair or Change File System, Change File System, Choose EXT3, let it do. Then go to home screen, and do the same but choose EXT4. You can now access your data until you reboot to Stock ROM or any OneUI/TouchWiz based ROM.

This happens as Samsung encrypts(?) the /data partition. About the IMEI, the factory effed up. You need to send it back to where you bought it and seek replacement.
[LG Watch Urbane] WayneTho:
I have a LG Watch Urbane model W150 (original model) that I have rooted on several occasions using Visual's M1D63X firmware build.

Maybe a month ago while trying to edit a file on the watch using ADB Shell, I found the "/" file-system locked as read-only. I could re-mount the / file-system as RW and make the changes as needed but on every reboot it returns to read-only (RO). I understand that this happens sometimes in Linux if a problem is detected in the file-system to prevent further damage to files and file-system. The thing is, I have done full WIPE through TWRP, checking every box to make sure the watch was completely wiped, then I re-installed stock M1D63X firmware again. It is still locking the "/" file-system.

The side-effect to the locked file-system is that although apps such as Watchmaker can install, their settings do not save properly. My preferred watchface in Watchmaker used to return after reboot but now it reverts to the main stock watchface included with Watchmaker whenever rebooted. Similar issues occurred while rooted, in apps such as Kernel Audiutor which forgot that I had turned off two of the four cpu cores.

Does anyone know how to fix a Linux "file-system error" read-only lock or at least a way to set the Urbane to run a single line script to remount the file-system upon boot. Obviously, the command below will remount the system as RW (when rooted) but it needs to run on every reboot.

mount -o rw,remount /​
[LG Watch Urbane] WayneTho:
Disregard this thread - Moderator, please lock or delete

Either I was wrong about my filesystem being locked or I managed to fix it. I had been testing whether the filesystem was still locked by attempting to create a file using the following command.

touch /temp.txt

It didn't occur to me that "/" is read-only by default. After I did a full upgrade to AW 2.0 then back down to stock MD163X before returning to the mod, the issue from the original post was apparently fixed and apps could once again save their configurations properly. I just tested for the RO condition using the wrong folder. When I tried the same test to create a file to a subfolder it worked properly.

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
This is probably the last in my collection of Android Wear media players. I'm trying out making a mobile app as well. If this works out, I may make something similar for NavMusic and NavCasts. Make sure your Audiobook has the same name and author to sync between devices.

Thanks! -Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Vegatta:
Hello Joel,

thank you for your offer. I only had the chance to test the app on my phone but I like the design. Some buttons are not as self-explaining, as they could be. The left top drop, the timer on the right, but I like the clean look and the audio recognition worked flawless, even through my tes file had problems before with some apps. So that was perfect.

For now, I had two bugs.

My phone is a z5 compact Android 7.1

If I only select one audiobook and by accident press the next file button, the app crashes.

The second bug happens if I have an audio file active and close the app from the app drawer. The controls still pop up from time to time. It's a little weird if the task manager doesn't show the app anymore, but I still have the control panel.

The next days I'll try the app with my Huawei watch 2 and come back with feedback. I hope that helped.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
He Vegatta,

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I changed the skip button so it does nothing on the last file instead of stopping the media player. I also updated the Media Player Notification so hopefully won't appear randomly, though it should act separately from the app. Just dismiss it when paused to stop the media player.

Would a tutorial screen on the now playing help to describe button functions or are there better icons that could be used?

Looking forward to hearing what happens with the watch app.

Thanks!

-Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Vegatta:
Hello Joel,

I can confirm that the app is now working without any crash. Thanks for the update. I tried everything I could think of and standalone the app works flawlessly.

The symbols are absolutely fine. I would either show a tutorial at first opening or a help button, which shows the button functions.

I also discussed the layout with my wife. In our opinion, the play button should be a little bigger, as its the most needed one. Aditional we would leave a little more space between the lower buttons and the menubar. Such a player is often used in a hurry, so you could prevent miss presses and with a bigger play button, a quicker stop is possible if someone speaking suddenly.

The phone app I tested a little as stand alone. I like the layout. Actually its one of the best I had on the watch. It played some test files without a problem, but I had no time to copy the same audiobook over yet for synchronizing.

What I noticed is that I sometimes scroll up and end up at the top of the list suddenly. For long lists that might be useful, but somehow it's too sensitive for my taste. Esp. with limited space on watches, I don't need to reach the top so fast.

The second problem is the next file button. That only works with added folders. I actually thought that it also selects the next audiobook on my list, if I added more than one and if I am done with all chapters, but I have to go back one step for that. Probably a matter of taste though.

As an idea, you could make the cover pressable, which would show it on the screen and hides the controls, till I press the picture again. I would like that sometimes if while biking I want to avoid pressing a button by accident.

Synchronising Ill try at the weekend. I hope to have time then to test that feature, but otherwise, the app is nicely stable and already working really well. Thanks!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Hey Vegatta,

Thanks for the feedback. I just released an update that should address most of theses issues. I adjusted the button sizes a bit to make the play/pause button larger as well as the skip buttons and left the timer and invert buttons the same. There is also a tutorial when a book is played for the first time.

You can also tap the cover to make it cover the now playing screen. The skip buttons are working as intended.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Vegatta:
Hey, sorry that it took so long to get back to you.

I tested your app some more and also got your navmusic app, as I really like the book one.

As reminder watch is HW classic watch os update 1.0, watch os app 2.10/ Phone Sony Z5 compact 7.1.1.

Things I noticed as problems:

Phone app: I don't reach the play screen since one or two updates. I click it and it opens and minimizes directly. Interesting enough, I can start the file then through the navbar controls.

Watch app: Same problem. I click a file and it directly goes small to the bottom. If I am fast enough to click the small bar I get the play window and can play the file.

Feature request:

For the watch app, Is it possible to get the same player layout like in the music app? Like two screens, either it shows the cover and if you slide you get the controls. I listen while riding a bike with the watch speaker and sometimes I hit some controls. I imagine with the same method like in the navmusic app that could be prevented. Maybe I would even start with control mode but make it so that if you want, you can hide the controls via sliding (basically opposite to navmusic which starts for me in cover mode and you slide for controls).

The sync option I couldn't test as of yet, sorry. The explorer app and my watch os hw2 don't work together sadly. It connects and shows my watch and even copies files over. But in the end, nothing changed on the watch. Same from the watch, a while ago I copied music files into a folder fav and not into music. I click copy in the app, go to the music folder and paste and nothing happens. Its a really weird problem and I am not sure how to give a better bug report fo that one.

Thanks again for your fast changes and hard work. Even with some problems, I really enjoy your apps. Navbook is my go to on phone and watch for audiobooks now and the music app is working great too (even though I wish there would be also a search bar for finding a position in the song, sometimes I just want to hear a part of a song again).
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Thanks for the feedback!

I just pushed an update that hopefully addresses most of these issues. I added the cover resize on wear and fixed the bug where the audiobook stops when it starts.

Keep it up!

-Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Vegatta:
Hello Joel,

thanks for the fast update. All my problems from above are solved now. I'll try to test the synchronizing feature as soon as possible. Thanks again for your hard work.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] NewCapVikram:
Hi Joel, Just got NavBooks from play store and also a Google Play Books audiobook, which I downloaded to my phone. I have Navbooks installed on both phone and watch (Ticwatch E). How do I add the audiobook to NavBooks? What folder do I navigate to? Have you posted instructions anywhere? I also got NavCasts and it is syncing with my Pocket Casts.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Hey,

Thanks for showing interest in the app. Currently you have to use NavExplorer or something else to transfer audiobooks to the watch. Also, I believe Google play audiobooks might be drmd and are definitely in root, so I haven't looked into automatic syncing with that yet. I am out of town right now, but I may be able to find a solution for root users. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks!

-Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Joel, thank you for this app. I desperately needed this for paddleboarding this summer!

Are you taking requests for future improvements? These are for the watch app only, as I could not test the phone app.

Bookmarks: Could I ask that you add some way to add and navigate bookmarks from the watch, maybe add it to the play screen or a second screen if you swipe right? This is very much needed for audiobook apps.

Accessibility/usability: Blue icons on red background are very hard to see even for me, and I have perfect eyesight. Chances are many users will use this app outdoors, where visibility is even worse. Any chance you could make the icons white on black background, and also increase the size of all but especially the skip buttons?

Thank you in advance and thanks for even creating this app in the first place!

PS: app crashes on my phone - can’t at all use it there, Xiaomi MiA1. Will send report over Play store. Would be great to have the synching option, though having this work in stand alone on the watch is so much more important for me.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Hi Xendula,

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. I am definitely looking for feedback and improving the app. Bookmarks sound like a great idea. The colors for the playback screen are dynamically generated based on the cover art of the book. I could pretty easily add a setting to just use white instead of getting an accent color though.

I thought I had the Xiaomi crashes fixed, but probably people with those phones just stopped using it. :(

I will try to fix these issues and get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks again!

-Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Thanks, Joel!!!You rock!

Gotcha about the colors, I just had the bad luck that the book I tried has a bright red background and baby blue icons. Someone with red/blue color blindness would not see the icons.

Any chance you could also add a way to override the generated background and add an option make it default to black? Otherwise there my not be enough contrast with lighter colored covers. I just listened to this book, and neither the generated, nor the white icons on beige background would give it enough color:[IMG="Book cover"]https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41lLN7GZjpL._SR600%2C315_PIWhiteStrip%2CBottomLeft%2C0%2C35_PIAmznPrime%2CBottomLeft%2C0%2C-5_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/IMG]
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Don't worry. Got you covered. The latest update adds a high contrast option as well as fixing some bugs. Please try the mobile app again to see if I've fixed the bug. I will try to add bookmarks soon.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Joel, MUCH better on the watch side since the update! Thank you! When you implement the bookmarks, any chance you could also make the skip buttons larger? I think you may need to get them closer to the play button, otherwise they may be too close to the progress bar and accidentally hitting that bar would suck, with no way to go back. Or maybe flipping the progress bar and the chapter header may help prevent accidental hits. Would it help if I sent you pics of of what I see?

Phone app update success: it now opens and plays back. How would I make it synch book location with the watch?

I can’t thank you enough for this app and your continual support of it!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Okay. I added bookmarks in the latest Beta update. You can opt in here:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.turndapage.navbooks

Please let me know how this works so I can push it to public release.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Wonderful. Tested on New Balance RunIQ and works! THANK YOU!

Is it possible to have navbooks play all files in a directory in order? That way, when one part ends the next plays? That’s how audiobook software usually works, and maybe there is a way to already do this in Navbooks and I don’t know how? That way, the bookmark would carry over no matter which part of the book you are in.

I went paddleboarding with Navbooks this weekend and it was AWESOME, until my battery died.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
It should play the files in order. How did you select the audiobook? You should be able to long-press on the directory that contains the files to open them as a single audiobook and seek through the whole thing.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Sorry so late. I had to return the watch I had bought for this due to a few defects, and I can’t make NavExplorer work on my Vapor. Not a problem on My other watches, but the friggin Vapor won’t accept files. At the end of my witts. Do you have any pointers or have heard of this issue before?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
There has been a bug on the Huawei Watch 2 with Wear OS where the app is not granted write permissions even after the permission has been granted. The only solution I have been able to find is to open the permission settings in the Watch settings and toggle the storage permission off and back on. Could you try this and see if this fixes the issue. If it does, I will probably add a warning for vapor watches.

Please let me know if this works!

Thanks.

-Joel
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Thank you so much, Joel! This helped, though I had to do it twice... and after I had swiped my watch, because I didn’t know how else to remove the files that ended up hidden on the watch. I can’t believe how much of a difference it makes which watch you use. I would never ever buy a Vapor again nor recommend it.

So, I managed to long press on a folder, but there was no interface, just the bookcover .. absolutely no icons. This could have been a fluke and I’ll do more testing later. Then long press stopped working, which I attribute to the Vapor, so will retest.

The larger issue is that the predominant color of my first book in the directory seemed to have carried over to the second book. Book 1: red background, Book 2: offwhite background, showed all red on Navbooks, and no cover art for book 2 even though it was contained in its own directory. Will do more testing on that as well.

I am inclined to blame everything on the Vapor...
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
Could you just select a cover from the internet by long-pressing on the book? What type of image is in the book's folder? Is it in the root directory? Maybe some screenshots of the issue would help since I'm not sure what is going on. Glad the toggling permissions fix worked. I had another person with the same issue report it yesterday as well for the misfit vapor, so I will add a warning for new users in the near future, but hopefully the development team will get on this soon. I reported it a long time ago.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] joelphilippage:
I'm not sure if this is entirely a Misfit issue, but probably a bug with later versions of Android and Wear OS. If you want to help. Please star the issue so it will get more attention.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79717153
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] xendula:
Done, commented and starred. Will send you screenshots of the other thing with the covers, though this is a lot more serious. Thing is, I could use this other app to upload while Navexplorer was NOT doing it, just that this other app sucks, because it dumps everything to the root folder, with no means to move the files... and trying to use Navexplorer to move the files afterwards was not working. So something about how that other app is built worked around this permissions issue: myWear File Explorer.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help move this ticket along.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] gazpachoking:
I really like the idea of being able to sync my book playback across my phone/watch, but I'm having a bit of an issue with both apps. The buttons to control the currently playing book are totally invisible. They are clickable, and work, and I can see the outline of a button I just pressed, but it's hard to know where they are. On the watch, it's just a plain red background, on the phone, it's a totally transparent background, showing my library, even though the invisible buttons are on top. Here are some screen shots of the issue:
