Flashing a custom firmware is not rooting, it goes WAY beyond rooting. Your thread title falsely implies that rooting alone broke something.
Not sure if this capability is available in AOSP-based firmwares.
ok well im new to "rooting", and i only know that on stock i can stream fine, and after "rooting" i can not
i dont know why nor do i care, i am not mad, i just want to see if there is a fix for this or something i can do to stream videos again on tv links
its not going to matter to me so much that i will revert to stock but i felt on this forum if this was a common issue that there would be a fix for it
thanks
By "general meaning", rooting is the process of "unlock" the stock OS, open the door, gain root folder access. Again, the term applied when using stock OS.
Using custom ROMs, like you said MIUI or CM7, "rooting" is an incorrect term because you don't need to "root" since it already let you access the root folder, meaning it's widely open.
So when you state "rooting", people who use MIUI or CM7 probably won't even enter your thread and read because they do not use stock OS. That will limit you to get more answers from others.
So instead of saying "after rooting i can no longer stream videos", do "after flashing MIUI/CM7 i can no longer stream videos?" or even "after installing custom ROM i can no longer stream videos"
As was said, what you did was not rooting, but flashing. Go to the Dev forum and find the MIUI and CM7 threads and see if anyone else has reported issues like yours. This thread isn't likely to get you an answer since the people that could help you will likely never see it because of the poorly-worded title.
I would suggest trying one of the Unamed ROMs.
Never had any "media playing" issues with them.
I've not tried either of the two ROMs you have, so I cannot comment on them.

No - after flashing custom firmware you are having problems.
You didn't just root. Now if you were having this problem with rooted stock and anything other than Google Videos (which is known to explicitly check for a rooted device), then it would be interesting.
rooted = /system/bin/su binary present with proper permissions, that's it, nothing more. (Superuser.apk isn't actually needed to be "rooted" - although most su implementations won't work without it there are some that will) What you did was flash alternate firmware that replaces EVERYTHING.
ok thanks for the lesson i guess ill check out the dev forum

Because hbo and hulu doesnt support android device. It even say it when u try hulu
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Even tho you have flash player, there are some sites where its not supported. Such as hulu, hbo. Its like that on any 2.2 rom.
That is the latest version of Flash for Android. I just tested using two browsers and HBO was telling me the same, however, I also check a site that I have watched video on before, CNET.com and was able to watch. It's certain sites that we still can't access but most work fine. I'm seeing conflicting info about the version for PC for instance I have installed 1.1.85.3 and there is a version available that is 10.1.102.64. So bottom line is my previous sentence. But iI did notice that HBO offers an Iphone app.
Update; Only referenced the PC versions to show that there are multiple versions of flash.
As others stated, there is nothing wrong with flash. The sites are blocking what devices access their videos. At one point android users were able to access hulu videos by using skyfire. The next day Hulu blocked it. It's not an axura issue, or an android issue. It's a content provider decision. I hope that helps.

amazing what you find when you LOOK in the right place. People posting questions in the development section sure does get old quick.
First off, thanks for taking the time to read my post. I have been trying to root/flash rom since yesterday at 11am now 2:19pm a day later. So before whinning here, I did do my research. Flash is now done, *sigh*
I would like the froyo tazzv26 or 28 rom flashed on my Eris
I've watched yourtube how to videos, unlockr videos, several adroidforums how to posts. they all revert me back here.
My issue is this #1:most of those are old posts(which I've read and been reverted to), and obvious upgrades have been made therefore what thier videos/posts show are not what I'm seeing or reading . Being that this is new to me I feel lost and confused.
Issue#2 I found the rom I wanted, here when I searched Roms for Eris however a link that is next to it sends me to another and another page. Very frustrating.
Favor needed: I've never done this before so can someone please help walk me through the process of being on the ACTUAL page with the download link, and what happens from then. Then let me know what i'm supposed to be seeing on my computer screen once the process starts .** WOW this part is massively missing from all noobie post/videos= FYI for admins and moderators
FYI Eris is already rooted wth 4zroot (instead of HTC1 click since the power up and power button thing didn't work 4 times) I have superuser, quickboot, rom manager, and astro file manager all installed and ready to go.
I'm ready to take your lead
Dulce,
Saw your post over on AF and replied over there, but did really get the gist of your needs until I saw this thread over here on XDA.
Rooting with Z4 root does indeed root you, but this will not allow you to flash or install a custom ROM without having replaced your stock recovery with a custom one, the "one" being Amon_RA (stay away from ClockworkMod at this time for the Eris...the details are probably more than you want or need to know at this time).
The 1-click method that you mentioned previously is what you want and it will install Amon_RA's custom recovery for you.
I would highly advised you to read and understand this thread over on AndroidForums: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/127861-universal-eris-root-dummies.html
You will learn what you need to know from that thread and it will also show you how to install the very same custom recovery as the 1-click method/app. It is clearly more verbose, but the trade-off / benefit is that you will have the best instruction possible regarding rooting your Eris.
Check it out and good luck!
Cheers!
hello everyone on XDA-Developers
i recently bought a Viewsonic Viewpad 7, i really like the tablet, but yet it annoies me alot due to i can not install flash at all!, i have tried every diffenent methord to try and install flash on the tab, everything from the offical market, the adobe website (both which when i try and download the file for it, says that the page is unavalable, basiclly means its blocking me) i have tried installing as APK files, diffnenent markets, rooting the tablet, everything! but i am still unable to install flash player on to the tab. i have read online that their was ment to be an offical version of it going to be released for it, but due to some legal issues or something they stopped it, even though they finished development for it. so i am wondering if anyone has been able to install flash onto the view pad 7 through some methord, like i have the tablet rooted incase it will require a methord being done through that, but yet i have currently tried evvery methord i have thought off and researched about. if anyone can help, please do, like i would not mind that if their was a app which can play SWF files without adobe flash that i could download from somewhere. like all flash operners require adobe flash to run, so they are abit silly.
anyways, i hope someone can help me then, i really do not want to get a diffenent tablet, like i really like the viewpad 7 compared to the others i have tried.
please help if you can,
with thanks

Simple advice: read more! The questions you ask are all very basic and have been answered in depth on this forum. It is really important you understand what you are doing before proceeding further since Asus in their wisdom have adopted a policy which makes their devices particularly easy to brick.
It is a very good thing you are on ICS so whether you find it difficult or not your first step must be to understand and implement NVFlash. This is your insurance policy and you really should go no further without it .
Why exactly did you unlock your Prime? What was the limitation or the roadblock that you ran into that unlocking solved?

Actually, I saw that. I was a little curious about specifics. Among the countless threads of folks bricking their Primes, it's amusing to read a justification of "to make it great".
I partially unlocked in order to replace the stock ROM with one that didn't have a gimped download manager. The default download manager will give a fake error and then actively delete the file upon completing any .APK (yes, it judges on the extension) download from a website that doesn't give it specific headers, which is used to stop people from pirating apps via common file sharing sites (which are not set to give these headers)... but also stops a lot of normal android dev page downloads from working as well (for example emulator programs not available in the market).
Previously I needed to download things with Opera (which has it's own download manager and thus doesn't pass files to the stock one) in order to get around this anti-piracy code, but that's just a chore. After swapping ROMs, I haven't had that happen (though the ROM I swapped to forgot to remove similar protection on bluetooth files, which I'm going to report now as soon as I get 10 damn posts).
Also when I updated to Jelly Bean, I lost root (Voodoo root keeper was used but it failed, read around to see I'm not the only one that had the root backup wiped out when doing the official Jelly Bean upgrade), and so far unlocking in order to be able to flash custom updates is the only way to regain it.
Anyways the OP will want to install some recovery.flash thing like TWRP so they can flash their own files to the ROM, like the su binary, which is needed to root.
I got this 13 inch tablet for displaying music PDF files.
It's got KitKat 4.4, and there's apparently no intention to update this from the manufacturer.
I'd like to run igigbook, but that app requires 5.0+. So I figure I can root this, then do the cm12 ...?
I've looked on compatible devices lists and can't find this device.
Anybody got a link or maybe just some advice?
Thx

I own one of these.
I found Kingo Root successfully roots it.
Unfortunately, no CM has been built for it.... yet. I plan to fix this.
Fair warning, though: do NOT remove anything child-mode-related yet, unless you have a backup of the system partition. It's basically an AOSP ROM, but they've tweakedwith the SYSTEMUI enough that straight-up removing it causes crach loops.
It's got an RK3188 chip, for the curious. Opened it to verify.

Great.
Ive learned the hard way! lol
Bit too late for me now, but i had a similar tab from smart telecom and i cant find any firmware for it, i rooted with kingroot and after removing all the child mode and disney crap, im having the same thing.
Ive started a thread, but im hoping i can find a patched firmware without all the bloatware and a newer android build if possible.
HI - Just came across this thread, pity I hadn't seen it earlier - I had/have rooted with King Root, which worked fine. Then set about deleting all the child-mode-related apps. Now I'm stuck with receiving "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" nothing seems to fix it. Do you know where I might find the original ROM that I can restore, can't find anything on the manfactures website..
Any help, really appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
I contacted the supplier who was going to contact the manufacturer, still have not found anything.
Someone else started a thread some time back and did the same thing as us.
I think someone was going to create a ROM for me, i will direct them to this thread.
Thanks for the update.
I had some success last night in resolving my issues with "com.android.systemui" - I managed to get into play store and reinstalled "Net Nanny for Android" as soon as the install had completed the error message went away and hasn't returned. The other "Kids" apps that I had deleted have not reinstalled, appears Net Nanny must have removed/broken something when I deleted it.
Would be still good to get a copy of the original rom for next time, better still to get an upgrade from 4.4.4 to something a little newer at least.
Anyway hoe that help to get you going again.
Wayne
I am ordering one of these now. Let me know if there's anything I can do to try to help in terms of getting a copy of the ROM. (I haven't done android development before, but I am a software engineer so I am willing to give anything a shot)

Let me know how you get on, as I am still after a ROM image if i can find one.
Going to start researching all the possible ways to get a ROM image (in addition to just asking the manufacturer). I will first do a search, and then maybe post in the forums somewhere, but I am starting here:
http://www.theandroidhow.com/2014/06/how-to-dump-backup-any-android-rom.html
Did some research, and actually found that the androidhow article I linked in my last post was the most relevant. I followed the romdump script process and believe I have the rom image files.
The question becomes, are the image files most usable in their current form, or as flashable images?
Has there been any developments in this, or anything close to a ROM or even an update?

Not that im aware of, i just did what someone else suggested here and reinstalled netnanny off the app store.
At least its working again, but not terrific.
Oh, well I didn't have that problem. The guy I bought this streamachine off of already had it rooted and everything, i was just wondering if anything had been developed...4.4.4 is quite a bit outdated, and limited.
Clay,
Can you upload that ROM image that you made? I bought another ST13 and while I can get it into recovery mode, it still won't boot even after a factory data reset. My plan is to try recovering from the sdcard before I assume that what I have is a collection of spare parts.
My two others aren't rooted, and since we need them tonight, I don't dare mess with them right now.
Thanks,
Paul
can I get a copy?
I rooted my ST13 and now I'm having bluetooth problems. I'd like to restore back to the stock ROM. Can I have a copy of yours? Does it work?
THANKS!

I am also interested in this thread, anyone know about the bootloader?
???
So still no DISK IMAGE or ROM? I successfully rooted St1316 but can't connect to wifi. I left natnanny alone, but it now doesn't connect to ANY wifi networks. Tries then switches to either "saved" or "disabled". I can push some apps to the device via bluetooth file transfer app but don't know what's missing. Could this be a permission issue? I'm lost and stressed. Tried factory wipe. No luck. Open to suggestions. Help guys. This thing kinda sucked before I lost wifi. Now it's just a glorified digital photo frame that plays sound WAY too softly.
