What happens when you try to play a video in the YouTube app?

Wild guess: Do you have flash player? (from the market)

You don't need flash player to view YouTube videos anywhere. Plus you won't find it on the Play Store while on JB.

You did before JB, but you're right, won't be in the market on JB.

OP - Do you know if it worked before it was handed down to you?

Perhaps a kernel update could fix this. You have Semaphore 2.4 and it's up to 2.6.6 for JB 4.1.2.

sorry for the delay, i was bussy, but now i'm here again jijiji.

the phone try to play the video but then show a error

"an error ocurred, touch to try again" and every time that i try show this error again.

and using dolphin, just show a circle like loading but then black screen and nothing happen.

flash player is not supported by jb

to be honest, i dont know, its a second hand phone...

maybe you could explain in simple words something, look, i have the idea that semaphore its a custom rom like cyanogen mod, but i dont know if this its true, or semaphore its, just like a rom launcher or something like that.

again, i dont know a lot about this world, but i try to learn every moment, i could try to reflash my phone if this fix it, but what do you thing???

Semaphore is the kernel you're using. I would read on flashing before getting into it though.

The process is quite simple, you download the kernel (zip), put it on your sd card, go in recovery and flash it.

If you factory reset, you'll need to flash another ROM (or reflash your current one). Keep in mind that by doing this, you'll lose all your apps and data. You can back them up with a app called Titanium Backup. When doing the restore though, only restore apps and data, NO system app.

You'll need Odin one click KK4 with bootloaders, then flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85. From there, you can flash the ROM you want as per their instructions.
