sorry for mentioning you guys here, :o

hopefully we can create varieties for Lollipop, :angel:

and probably with this development, we can also helping each other, sharing knowledge and such :highfive:

here's my workaround for attempting flashing this rom,

2. do wipes (everything),

3. flash the rom,

4. failed with status 7 error,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tysonraylee:
please post a screenshot of the error

----------------

update : according to my findings this "status 7 assert" error is either because

1) you trying to flash a different model/variant ROM on device i.e S2 ROM on S3

2) incompatible recovery i.e non se Linux compatible.

there is a workaround for the issue 1 but we need to make sure that this ROM file IS for N7000 or it WILL BRICK the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] varund7726:
I have compiled this from bauners sources so its 100% for n7000 ..come on :-/

And even the updater script says so
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tysonraylee:
well in that case take a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

and I think you should have the idea what's going on and how to solve it :)

REVENGE SOLVES EVERYTHING
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] varund7726:
Thw cauae of the status 7 error here is becauae of the SE linux disabled recovery

I dont think removing lines like assert is recommented but i will ask my testers to give it a try.

But the cm12 dev uses the exact same updater script as mine

And some users are able to flash it and some arent (getting this same error)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kazuna69:
unfortunately I can't this the only phone I had, my S plus are not with me currently, :(

anyway, I'm not sure any of this issue causing the error are appear to be mine only, but I'm sure it is

status 7 error failed to write..bla..bla "/tmp/boot.img.."

I already forgot how's the error,

I'll try again in some time, currently at work and kinda busy, :crying:

so sorry guys, :(

hopefully others help too, :highfive:

please :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tysonraylee:
you are right I too think we should not try it. Maybe bauner could look into it. I will see if I am able to flash it later

REVENGE SOLVES EVERYTHING
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kazuna69:
goodluck buddy! :highfive: :victory: :highfive:

I heard 4.2.2 is going to landed on our device by old sammy, seems nice for forest kernel development! :victory:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TouchLeclouds:
Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing,

Back up your things

Flash DU 8.1 (Because it have Latest TWRP recovery)

Reboot into recovery

Clear cache, Factory rest

Flash the Rom + Gapps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] varund7726:
Status 7 here is due to se linux recovery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TouchLeclouds:
I had the same issue before, my problem was solved by changing the update script
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mjrifath:
So can we change bauner update script and check the possibility :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TouchLeclouds:
you can try that, but also keep in mind that this issue could be caused anything else. i just gave the solution that worked for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] varund7726:
Ok i got it to boot.thanks for the help guys.ill open a thread in the dev section and close this one
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
I purchased a Note 4 from T-Mobile's website. The back of the sleeve states Printed in USA. And the box states Printed in the USA. Box Made in Mexico. Also, the Android logo on the back of the box looks different from the box made in Vietnam. According to the package, the phone was packaged / manufactured 12/12/2014.

Somethings not ringing here. From all the unboxing videos of the T-Mobile Note 4 I came across online and in-store, they all state Printed in Vietnam on the back of the box.

Is this a repackaged Note 4?

Would greatly appreciate clarification here. Thanks

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Install and check if genuine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Has to be genuine; was purchased from T-Mobile's Corporate Online Store.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
That app will show you usage history. If its repackaged used phone you probably will find that headphones or battery charger were attached more than once.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Actual Manufacturing Date is set to December 9th, 2014. I noticed the Charger Connect count is '3' and Headset Connect Counter is '6'. But I never plugged in the charger yet; I just got the phone. What gives? :confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Also, I have the latest firmware preinstalled. I didn't have to perform any updates out of the box.

Now seriously, what gives, the count is more than '1'. What is this suppose to indicate. This is a legality issue. How is it that no one has addressed this yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Whats also funny is that the plastics that conceal the condition of the phone; only one side of the phone is covered in plastic, all other three sides are not and were exposed upon opening the seals of the box. I found a couple of micro-scratches in the bottom part of the metallic edges
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Had a quality chat with Samsung just now. It appears the counter is set by the quality control checks at the manufacturing facility.

The ultimate question now is do the carriers have software to over-ride the build-date of a device?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burley1:
Does the phone work well? Are you happy with the performance and style and so on? If the answer is yes, then why are you worried about it? IMHO you must have bigger fish to fry. Besides; if your here, you most likely mod your phone so a warranty is irrelevant.

I know you wouldn't try and return your phone and hide that you have been modifying it. I mean based on your reaction to t-mo, I doubt you would do that to them.

Oh and mine was printed in Vietnam.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temetka:
I bet this is a refurbished phone.

Flashed all nicely at a T-Mobile warehouse and sent out to the stores would be my guess.

Did Samsung verify it's authenticity for you?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
Doesn't matter it's still a note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Samsung does verify its authenticity on its own website. Showing December 11, 2014 (after inputting IMEI #)

Box label shows December 12, 2014

Phone Info * SAMSUNG Shows December 9th, 2014

Samsung explained me the logistics last night. Carriers certain quantity of phones from Samsung to meet demands--> Carrier receive phone orders in bulk, all in one box--> and repackages them into their own Carrier Boxes. Take AT&T for example, the worst of them all. Whereas T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon play along by copying the design of the original Samsung boxes and uses cheap labor to print the boxes at the country of manufacture of their ordered devices. Who knows, your devices may very well be treated the same as well.

But the question remains, DO THE CARRIERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO OVERRIDE THE MANUFACTURING DATES ON THE PHONES? IF DO, THIS IS UNETHICAL.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
T-Mobile most likely signed cheap labor in Vietnam to print on empty light brown boxes and had them shipped to the states for repackaging the phones. After a certain quantity, decided it would be best to print them within the states to save on logistical import fees, fair enough.

I myself have seen the white and blue boxes that Samsung was referring to. I've seen them in Service Centers overseas in Asia.

But Carriers are just plainly insane.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
The reason I make a big deal about this is really because of the amount we all pay. We all are paying a premium for these devices (for the most part) and deserve the right thing. Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to pay $200max for the device I received, not the whooping $750 (oh and the taxes are extra well).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Dude you have a phone that works. That is all you need. You rooted the phone isn't that unethical . Just be happy it works for you and you have no major issues with it.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
But I haven't rooted the phone yet. And besides, it is our right to do whatever we want with the devices, as long as we don't brick it.

I mean, how many customers are even aware of the Diagnostic Code *#0*# to check their devices for defects upon receiving the device; Verizon disables this command, which is insane.

Reality Check, you don't get what you pay for.

A Samsung rep once told me, "I'm not the average consumer" Uh-Oh :angel:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
And it is their right to do what they will with the phones. You not buying from Samsung you buying from t mobile who needs to add stuff to phone and sim cards and all. Your phone works be happy .

Yes it is your phone once it paid in full. If you did payments it not yours till us pay that last bill.

So either way it is a working device free of issues and bugs.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
Maybe you have latest batch of the phones and from now they all will look like that. Mine Note's hardware revision is 1.1. Your's may have higher number and you are lucky owner of latest and greatest.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Mine has the same hardware revision as well, but doesn't have much of the issues others have reported, such as the fingerprint scanner and camera focus issues. The only issue is the purple tint on the left side of the display and a couple of microscratches on the metal edges (probably the way it way handled during the handling process at the warehouse); I didn't see all four sides covered in plastic wrap.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
I would like to see what others think of this as well. I've had a worse experience with the AT&T Note 4.

It would be interesting to get John Legere's response to this matter as well. This is not a uncarrier move.

For the price I paid for the device, I can get a one way flight and get what I pay for just right.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
return the phone and get another one.

please stop making a mountain out of a molehill here; as you can see, no one here besides yourself thinks this is a big deal

welcome to the world of mobile phones in the year 2015...I mean 2014 .12
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burley1:
Exactly! I just crack up how some folks on have nothing to ***** about. I mean really? come on, just move on. "but I know the secret code :crying: bla bla" "But I paid so much for my phone :crying: bla bla"

This is why I hang out in the development forum, I'm out. Good luck with your travesty of justice.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
I mean, yeah, it kind sucks to get a refurb phone when you are paying for a new one, but, usually refurbs have less issues in the long run, since they are actually "tested" before being shipped out, versus new ones that get zero testing..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
And according to T-Mobile, this is not a refurb, its Brand New. By Law, Refurbished products are suppose to have a refurb sticker at the back of the device. Either the packaging has changed due to demand and logistics or T-Mobile is simply trying to be efficient.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
The questions that remain to be answered are the following,

Does T-Mobile have the ability to change the date of manufacturing within the phone?

Does a refurbished date disclosed the date of refurbishing or date of original manufacturing of the device?

Come to think of it, I never had this experience when purchasing Samsung Devices overseas, Never. However, nowadays the warranty matters, even I never had the need for it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Spoke to Samsung today (2nd call in addition to yesterday), phone is not refurbished; otherwise would have shown in the system; date of assembly (December, 2014),

Basically its how the phones are handled upon receiving them at dock in the United States

Basic Logistics:

- Phones Assembled in Vietnam

- Phones Undergo Quality Check

- Phones are Packaged in Bulk

- Accessories are Packaged in Bulk

- Both Phones and Accessories are shipped off to the United States, goes through a Customs Clearance

- Phones and Accessories received by Samsung USA

- Phones are Carefully Inspected by Technicians; Technicians Flash Appropriate Stock ROM based on Carrier;

- Phones are then repackaged in bulk and sent to Carrier

- Accessories are also generally inspected and sent to Carrier as well

- Carrier receives Phones and Accessories in Bulk at Dock

- Carrier "carefully" places Phones and Select Accessories in their respective boxes (Boxes are made by Carriers NOT SAMSUNG)

- Carriers chose which accessories to include;

- SIM Card preinstalled or put in Box for Customer (End User) to activate

- Boxes are sealed by the Carrier's seal

- Boxes are stocked in local and national warehouses

- Upon Customer, Web, Telesales, and Retail Store orders; boxes are shipped to respective department

- Boxes finally reach Client's hands

This is the conclusion I have come down to.

Refurbished phones will generally show the Original Date of Manufacturing; there is no such thing as Date of Refurbishing (which replaces the Date of Manufacturing which is hardcoded into the device)

The counter involved in rooting and flashing a phone (software based) and number of times the device was charged and connected are two complete different things.

I'm glad to have resolved most of these doubts I was having with both Samsung Representatives over the last couple of days.

It's all Basic Economics and Commerce; Supply and Demand.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
We all need to understand that Carriers are middle-men; and T-Mobile especially, is pretty eager to fullfill every sale possible especially before Christmas.

A lot of factors come into play; and that includes Time.

One can never tell, its all be about the demand; however, I am optimistic and faithful in T-Mobile's practice in handling phones, and know that the devices are Brand New "unless otherwise stated clearly on the device or in writing, refurbished"

In this case, the phone I received is Fresh and Brand New from the Assembly Line, still looking to future Samsung Devices.

Apple doesn't deserve us. :good:

I will never Trust AT&T's Paperthin Orange Boxes; at least T-Mobile makes decent Retail Boxes, LOL.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
It really just comes down to how the phone was handled during the entire logistical and packaging process by Samsung and T-Mobile. Cheers!

No one can logistically return a phone with an extremely recent Build Date and see the Carrier resell to another customer. The restocking fees are utilized by the carriers when the carrier takes the device back from the customer, sends the returned device to an inspection and refurbishment facility, and then resells the device as refurbished with new stickers (different from new device) adhered to the back
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
Rooting is unethical o_0 ....no the fact they lock down our devices and force bloat etc. That's unethical charging us way more than what we get. I haven't rooted my device but.....

I would have hated to be that CSR getting your phone call. People call about the dumbest things
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
If u wanna look at like this. When u buy a car it the banks car till you get the title without banks name on it. Same thing with phone. You should not mod it till it yours if us wanna talk about ethics . Personally I don't care cause I gonna do as I please. It just how I am but I not gonna complain either.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
You make no sense comparing apples and strawberries. I pay full retail for my device's you get a payment plan, both devices still can't be rooted per carriers so you made a moot point

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Lmao "own the device" that's rich
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Well u paid for it so it yours. He talking about a phone that not his. It a lease/payment. Are you the one crying where the box is printed. NO . So do as you wish with your phone but don't cry about little stuff. If you get new phone and it don't power up are you gonna come here and make a post about it for advice or are you gonna return it right away? If you say post then you are in a world of trouble and need an iPhone. Have a merry xmas

I don't make stupid post nor do I draw frivolous conclusions. Your reply just confirmed for me. I'm going to buy a blackberry classic, I can't deal with android anymore too many forums
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyass408:
stop wasting time. if you are unhappy return the god damn thing. There is a 14 day buyers remorse period for returns. They will even pay for your return shipping. Have them send you another one or buy another phone. Case closed. I had two micro scratches inside the metal bezel and a huge gap with release date phone. Shipped it back and got another. Period.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Its going to be difficult to escape from the microscratches as I've come across them even through the replacement process. That's just the way its being handled even when the item is being shipped. My phone didn't even have a single plastic strip on all fours sides; the only plastic visible was on the back cover, screen and camera lens, but the device was manufactured just '8' days ago. Is this something to even note?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
I'm noticing all the T-Mobile Note 4's having microscratches (even in other customer's Note 4's doing their own little unboxings in stores :highfive: (total creep); some in areas which no will probably give a darn about. I think I may too anal in looking for these minute things as I never would expect to come across this when paying a premium for a device. :p Didn't come across this in AT&T's $826 Note 4. It's Samsung as usual, lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WellTrainedVC:
Lol. Can't believe I just read this whole thread! As long as I don't have to open my fing laptop or get onto a desktop, I'm happy as can be with my badass Note 4. Oh! And my Note 4 is flawless coming straight from a B&M T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
B&M is the way to go. Shopping online is for the lazy, no doubt. :silly:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
Lol, I even noticed that all the documentation is Printed in the USA. Whereas the T-Mobile Vietnamese Boxed Note 4 and AT&T Korean Boxed Note 4 documentation are made in Vietnam and Korea respectively. A store rep was flabbergasted when he saw the box I brought into the store.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
I was guilty and fed in but then was pull aside by a friend and said don't feed into it. He is trolling. I saw the light. Xda needs a block button to hide all ummmmmm dumb post. It a shame cause one day when he really needs help no one shall.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winlinmac001:
ROFL

Lol, literally? At least XDA has a report button

Probably because he just got a replacement directly through the store which is in immaculate condition. Welcome back to forum.

I'll thank KennyG123 for sympathizing and understanding my overwhelming situation (the moderator recently closed a thread (which you all fueled as well) created by another user who happened to dislike T-Mobile for different reasons). I asked the Moderator why the thread was closed, his response was as follows, "Hi, The closing comments were not directed specifically at you but the many others that commented as well...thread got crazy. The phones should come well protected and I agree you had a genuine concern. Perhaps I should add another lesson to take unboxing videos to protect against such things. With everyone's comments I felt it was more important to address the technical side of the discussion. Sorry you had a poor experience with that store. Perhaps Better Business Bureau complaints will have them replace it with an unblemished phone. And yes, exchanges are time consuming and a hassle, but in a world of mass production and poor handling it has become a way of life. Best wishes this holiday season! Kenny"

Kenny's response was utmost genuine, and I respect him for his well-thought out response. Sometimes you have to make a sacrifice, and I welcome myself to T-Mobile and look forward to positive experience with the company.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Actually it does..it is called your ignore list. Click on a user's name in their profile and choose ignore user.

What would be even more awesome (not directed at you specifically) is if people just chose to not comment in threads they feel are dumb and then they would quickly drop off the front page.

I was a victim myself of 2 fake 64GB micro sd cards which seemed to be in official packaging as well as knock off PS3 controllers claiming to be official. Buyer beware..if something looks like a deal too good to be true...it likely is.

Thread has run its course so closing this.
