Root Cant play videos on rooted Samsung Galaxy A10s (sm-A107m)

renderTimingPixel.png

I rooted the phone correctly through odin, and magisk.No videos can play whatsoever E.g No youtube video, no social media videos.If i try to play a video, the device resprings quick every-time.I had to flash the stock rom back onto the phone to fix the problem.How can i fix the problem when rooted?

Processor - Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 (12 nm)
 
it does a quick restart
so it just reboots? there really is no quick start in android. do you have a custom recovery? if so once you are rooted, you can just flash a custom rom

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-galaxy-a10-install-twrp-exynos-only.4074343/

you are lucky that there is a dev community for your phone. you can get your custom roms here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-a10-roms-kernels-recoveries-ot.8704/

i have no idea why a stock rom that once it becomes rooted you loose video playback function. maybe a custom rom will fix it.

or you can post a thread in xda and see if any devs can figure the issue out.

Thanks, i did reach out to XDA like a week ago but no replies.
Sadly, i dont see any TWRP or custom roms specifically for the Galaxy A10s (sm-A107m), only for the regular A10.
What do you suggest?

ooops i missed the3 mediatek processor......not much you can do at this point. if you really want to a device going forward, pick device that has a community behind it. i do not think that any devs have played with a sammy with mediatek processor before.....my suggestion is do your research first before purchasing.

i wish i had more answers for you....sorry.

So it sounds like the rooting is causing the problem. That would likely require whoever devised this rooting method to fix it for this device. Maybe try contacting them and enquire about it. Other options, either find another rooting method, or just use it unrooted?

Try contacting who exactly? It usually lags alot so i use root to fix that.
