Camera no longer works - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Alright so I'm gonna get straight to it. I bricked my phone. Took it to the tmobile store to try and get them to fix it (probably a mistake). A guy there flashed a galaxy s7 edge rom for my phone and now the camera doesn't work. I've been dealing with it for a while now but it's seriously annoying. Is there any way for me to restore my camera? The device restarts when I open the camera.

Sorry to ask the obvious - is your fon an S7e?
I would start with flashing the latest stock rom using Odin.

Nope, it's a galaxy j7 actually. SM-J700T to be specific

Another one - what is stopping you from flashing a stock rom?

My ignorance pretty much. The first time I bricked my phone I THOUGHT I knew what I was doing. If someone could possibly link me to some very specific directions that would be cool. I just don't wanna deal with that again.

At step 7 flash the stock rom NOT Twrp

[ROM] D800 KitKat Manual Update with Root

DISCLAIMER - I am not to blame if you screw up your phone. Proceed at your own risk.​
Thread closed since there is an option now for stock AT&T crap with recovery and international version with recovery, with working google wallet and no carrierIQ or AT&T bloat.

YES!!! It will take a long time to flash...did not hang. Just needs time
I will have custom ROM up later tonight.
I will have custom ROM based on International version once it is released and I can get my hands on the KDZ or TOT. This way we do not have to deal with CarrierIQ.
Thanks for this, awesome work.

Yes!!! You are THE MAN. Thanks so much.
Are you using the aboot from one of the 10x builds? I am pulling the ROM down now but I am concerned that installing this will update my aboot and make it so that going back to a different kernel/ROM will be difficult. I am not all that up on LOKI so perhaps this is just a dumb post :/.
What if we are on the unrooted KitKat ota? Just flash this? Or downgrade, then flash recovery and then flash this?

when you use lg flash tool to go back to an older firmware, it replaces your aboot with that firmwares aboot. so you have nothing to worry about.

we need a custom KK rom from you. GOGOGO.
Ah, OK. So if I'm running houstonn's PA ROM I can't just go into TWRP, wipe everything, and flash this ROM? I first have to downgrade to stock 10d, etc?

If you have a custom recovery just flash both rom zip and superuser. No need to downgrade unless you have stock recovery.

Can't flash new OS on T-Mobile note 5

Hi everyone. Here is the problem. See, right now, I have teamwin recovery 3......sonething. 3.something. Anyways, I use darthstalker rom version 6. I want to upgrade to version 7 but....... Whoever I try to update or to even install any OS, all I get is boot loops or a galaxy logo with a red kernel message on top. It won't flash a new OS of any kind. For now my note 5 works fine on darthstalker 6 with sky kernel but I am dieing to see darthstalker 7. Any ideas luvs? When in recovery, am I supposed to mount something or unmount that's causing the trouble? I'm lost
darthstalker 6 is Lollipop, darthstalker 7 is marshmallow. you have to use a marshmallow kernel. use SkyHigh v3.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...pment/kernel-skyhigh-mm-6-0-1-kernel-t3358982
Where's the download link luv?
I must be an idiot but I can't find the download load link to the kernel anywhere.

You need to update to MM official first. Backup everything you need on your device. Follow the instructions in the MM Update/root thread in the general section.

How do I update to mm official?
My phone isn't hooked to tmobile. I just use it as an Internet phone. It was my moms and she gave it to me. I use it on WiFi. She rooted it for me and I out on darthstalker 6 myself. I also don't have a computer anymore so whatever I dodo, I only have my recovery and whatever I can achieve in the note 5 without a PC.

Follow this guide and you'll be rooted stock with TWRP. Once done, made a backup of it just in case you need something to fall back on. You can then flash whatever MM rom you want for the T variant.

help repairing/restoring my phone...

I am trying to flash the phone to an unlocked rom, however i think i dont have the correct files. I also cannot get it back to what it was either.
I am trying to unlock it from verizon and make it so i can use it on AT&T. I'd much rather use this phone (Samsung Galaxy Note Edge) than what i am currently using. (An Alcatel phone).
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
There are no unlocked Roms that turn Verizon Samsung phones into unlocked phones. Put the original ROM back on the phone and have the phone unlocked properly.

re:
i dont have the original rom. I didnt know how to back up that. ive loaded another rom that said it was original and it loaded all the way but after it downloaded it restarted and now its sitting at the red verizon screen with a blue and cyan led blinking. wont do anything else.
any ideas?

You can use Samsung Kies and restore the phones firmware or go to SamMobile.com and download and flash the phones forward with Odin. If that doesn't work, I'll do it over the internet for you but will take a long time to flash over the internet

Sure do. Tried the QE2 and QC7 files in @koop1955 's big post, but both get the same error. I imagine because I'm on S6 Edge, not just S6?
Although, now it looks like he's working on a new rooting method, so maybe I should hang back a bit for now anyway.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm in a similar state from the guy above, currently running Renegade OJ7 v1, my kernel is 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v9-0000_beta, baseband version G925PVPU3BOJ7 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the most recent version of SuperSU.
My question is: should I bother with updating the kernel as well as flashing the TAR you linked to, or is just the TAR good enough? After that, should I mess with TWRP or leave it alone? Once I get that done, if I'm looking for a clean slate, should I just wipe all partitions and flash the ROM? If you can answer any/all of these it would be hugely helpful for a guy who doesn't do that much flashing and can't swing $800 on the new S8 right now.
Thank you!

I still have my edge and am running this. All I can tell you is you have to update to nougat first (flash the tar I think). It's been a long time since I did it. Once my phone was updated to the new firmware I then installed twrp and flashed the rom. That's about all I can remember. In my case it got hung in a boot loop and I had to flash a second time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Any chance you can let me know which kernel you're running? I get a lot of lockscreen crashing on my existing one and wondering if there isn't a better one available.
edit: looked and realized there's a kernel included in the zip, my bad! thanks again!
