you should be able to do a factory reset, that should solve your problem but you will lose all data and apps that you had installed In order to save your contacts, messages etc, its best to make backup first, you can download My Phone explorer to your PC and client to phone from google play store to backup everything before factory reset or flashing stock ROM
Factory reset is normally done by going into settings> privacy > factory reset. or it may be located in an another location in settings.
or you can follow this and flash a stock kernel to solve your problem

That will work fine, you can also go into settings and go into "Accounts & Sync" in there you will see his gmail account. Click on that and remove the account. Setup your account to sync and you should be fine.
If I was you I would just factory reset or Odin... That is just me though. I like starting fresh
I have the weirdest problem with my s. I plugged in my phone to load some files from work and it only pulled the SD storage partition not the internal phone partition. I unplugged the phone and checked and the phone itself only shows the SD side. I have done everything with the exception of a factory reset but can't get it to show. Now everything runs as it should but can't see the internal.
Plugged the phone in 2 days ago everything was fine. The only hickup I have had with this phone so far is yesterday when I went to the google store it told me I had to add an account. It had been a while since I reset so I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine. But it probably had something to do with this.
Any ideas?
I am completely stock and un modded.
Clear the data in the storage settings.

Thanks can you be more secific please. What is a ruu? If by clear the data on the storage do you mean the cache? on both drives or just the internal?
Thanks
There's is a thread called Shipped Roms over in the development section. Look for the one that corresponds to your carrier. Download it and run on your computer. You must be on stock recovery and have a locked or relocked Bootloader.

Thanks but shouldn't I try just a factory reset before I go and reflash everything? For either the phone is new enough I don't need to worry about loosing something important will the stock backup to the SD storage be enough? Just don't want to loose any numbers. Apps and messages aren't that important. Sorry this is a new one for me. Any information will help.
Thanks.

You could try a factory reset first.
If you have a google account enabled, check if your contacts are synchronized with it or not. If synchronized, your contact data will be restored after a factory reset automatically (if automatic synchronisation is enabled) as soon as you enter your personal data again.
You'll find that in -> settings -> account & sync
auto-sync should be on and you should see your Google account below. If not, you should add it, if you don't have one you should sign in.
This also restores your apps after a factory reset.
You can export your contacts as well, you'll fin that in the contacts menu.
And be careful, use only one of the methods. You wouldn't be the first to find his contacts doubled...
1. I will try the data wipe mentioned earlier. Although I did that yesterday. Reset.
2. I will try Factory reset.
3. I will try a flash.
All tonight. Thanks for the help.
Update
After a factory reset it resolved the problem. All my contacts were saved but now only show under the phone panel not the contact panel. But at the end of the day hey you can't win them all. I will just spend the next couple of days moving them over.
Thanks for the help! :good:

A RUU is an EXE (must be run on Windows) which flashes your device with the rom it embed.
Google that: RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10_Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe
1) Run the EXE
2) Follow the instructions
3) Plug your device to the PC
4) Proceed
May take up to 10 minutes
Unfortunately, you have to relock your device before. Don't worry, you can still unlock it after
J7 Prime-I already successfully logged out my gmail.But I forgot my Samsung account,all of its credintials including recovery phone number and email address password since I was in rush at that time.Now I want to factory reset my phone and go back to scratch since my phone is filled with junk files.I asked the same question on a J7 Prime fanpage in facebook and everyond told me a hard reset will be fine.I am afraid to do this.If I make the reset using the button combination will Samsung account ask for the password before I could use the device? I am pretty sure there is no google lock on this phone.

Factory reset from within the device itself and you should be fine.

As long as you reset from within settings you should be fine. If you reset via recovery you will likely encounter issues.
I'd also enable OEM UNLOCK just to be sure.

Yes as the dev @ashyx said.
You are safe as long as you are hard resetting it within the device by going in settings and svrolling to backup and reset. Your device will boot up normally you will have a fresh relationship with your phone.
But if you hard reset it via a custom recovery or the stock recovery. Then it will surely ask for your samsung account. Without the Samsung account you won't be able to use your device. That is a security feature of Knox.
So hard reset it via settings.

I remember that would happen to be at first. I kept messing with Odin. Don't know what happened but it finally worked. Maybe you can try to reset without the SIM card pop it back in your phone might restart to install necessary files for it to work.

#1 rule make a backup in recovery before tinkering
Aside from restoring a backup, the easiest way to get your phone working again would be to flash a fresh ROM. For example, Albertos AOSP is quite stable and up to date. You will need that ROM.zip and a compatible gapps.zip. wipe everything clean and flash those in recovery.
You will lose all your data.
I do not know what TextNow is, but if you need the "stock ROM" you may need to restore factory firmware via PC- you will lose all your data
What exactly are you trying to do?
