OK, flashing Rogers CSC causes the system to refuse to boot. Guessing it's because the model numbers end up being different once you flash the Sprint rom. Going to try putting in APN settings manually.

Bell here too. I'll wait a bit longer. Phone is pretty snappy for me right now. I don't want any lag after root (happened on note 4 and 5)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllGamer:
Where is this weird idea is coming from?

My Wind Note7 is rooted now as you can see in the messages above, and I don't experience any lag.

the so call "lag" is due the amount of Apps you install into the phone,

even on a Note 3 / 4 / or 5 if you just root it, it doesn't cause lag if you don't have too much stuff installed.

My note 3 was snappy fast, just like my new Note 7, but it started to slow down after I installed 120 GB worth of games / photos / recorded videos into it.

as soon as I remove all the photos / videos, it speeds up again, and it speeds up even more if I remove my pile of installed games.

Phones are just like our Windows computers.

The more stuff you install into it, the more sluggish it gets.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Yup! All I had to do was input the right APN. Well, OK....maybe switching the Network mode to "LTE/CDMA" then back to Automatic was needed too, since on first boot it connected at HSPA. As my screenshot a few posts back indicated, I don't have the best LTE signal here in my basement.

There's a few people in the Sprint thread talking about some issues updating various Galaxy Apps (like the Always-On-Display, Gear Manager, etc. Also, since it's a debug build, don't expect performance to be quite as smooth as our stock rom (though with root, you can probably disable some things like ads and such which may help.

Due to the incompatibilities with updating Samsung apps though, I decided to go back to Rogers firmware for now. I at least wanted to clarify that yes, we can have LTE with the Sprint ROM should anyone else want to delve deeper. This is my only phone, so utmost stability and reliability is more important than root at the moment.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

Only one problem now:

I can't get my Rogers CSC back! After flashing stock firmware with Odin, it loaded the XAC firmware. Trying to flash the CSC or HOME_CSC file doesn't seem to change it, and I can't get the *#272*<IMEI number># dialer code to work.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SasamiAdachi:
I am contemplating returning my Note 7 in favour of a Galaxy S7 Edge. I didn't realize that the Canadian Note 7 came with a Snapdragon 820 until I got it. Does the 15 day return policy apply if I bought my phone outright from a Samsung Store?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllGamer:
What's wrong with the Snapdragon?

Yes, 15 days return is the industry standard for Canada / USA
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SasamiAdachi:
Thank you! I prefer better CPU performance, lower operating temperature, and longer battery life of Exynos over a slight boost in graphical rendering that Snapdragon offers. I am going to miss that S pen and iris scanner though, not to mention the more refined look.

I just took the plunge and rooted my W8 with the sprint method. Rooted successful and installing busybox now. Need to get xposed and xprivacy running before further use though.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Well, now I'm at a loss. I can't for the life of me seem to get back to a RWC CSC (Rogers). Dialing *#1234# shows that the CSC is N930W8OYA1APH1 (recovery mode shows the XAC code, as does the Phone Info - Samsung utility. Dialing *#272*IMEI# does nothing.

I've flashed, factory reset, tried installing via KIES, and still no dice. I'm giving up tonight in the hopes that someone may have an idea for tomorrow.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
In-store is 14 days, I was considering the same thing but I'm very happy with my rooted Note 7 even with sd820, I don't know how's the rooted battery life yet but I was able to pull off 9+ hours of gaming before root.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Thanks bud! As for your csc I had the same issue with my s7 edge. Couldn't use the Ussd code either. What ended up working was flashing the Rogers firmware and doing a factory reset with smartswitch. Took a couple of tries but I got my csc back in the end.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Xposed is not ready for the note 7 and grace ux yet. Extreme lag will occur.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Did you just flash the AP file in Odin, then use Smartswitch to do a factory reset right away?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
No I flashed the firmware specific to Rogers and then did the smartswitch factory reset. Flashing parts of it or the Canadian XAC firmware always reverted me back to XAC.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Odd. I've been downloading the Rogers firmware from Updato, and it still seems to be downloading the same file? Is the actual firmware (AP file) different for each carrier?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I know. They look identical. I spent two days on it. Trying different combinations. In the end it was the rogers firmware that showed RWC as a CSC on smartswitch. Once I did the factory reset it stuck.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Firmware is the AP file though, right? So flash that in Odin, let the phone reboot, then go into Smart Switch? Don't load any other files into Odin?

Sorry for all the questions - been scratching my head on this one and just want to try figuring it out.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yup. That's it. Give it a try. It worked for me after a couple tries. Hope it works. Good luck!

I actually had someone offer me the note 7 for my s7 edge but I'm going to pass on the trade. The Exynos is a much better chip. Plus I got the international model so the updates are much quicker. If you could afford the international note 7 go with that one.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
GAH! This thing hates me! :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
OK, here's what I'm going with for now......

Unless our devices can be rooted down the road, DO NOT flash the debug build if you want to go back to a carrier-branded rom. As it stands now, there appears to be no way to go back to anything other than the OYA CSC on the SM-N930W8 when you flash a stock rom via Odin.

No matter what carrier firmware file you download (from samfirmware, Updato, etc) it will be the EXACT same! I compared a Telus one with a Rogers one, and the AP & CSC files were identical! Smart Switch will only flash XAC firmware when doing a firmware recovery from this, the *#272*IMEI# code doesn't work, etc.

Without root on the stock firmware, there appears to be no way to go back to carrier firmware for features such as Wi-Fi calling or VoLTE.

Flashable XAC CSC, for the Canadian Note 7 (useful with custom ROMs)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31SzNzakgzb0M0V1k
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Hmm.....

Given that the Sprint debug version changes our model number, I don't think that flashable file will enable things like Wi-Fi calling.

..... Unless somehow I could flash the sprint rom, flash this zip using Flashfire, change the CSC in Phone Info using root to RWC, then flash the AP file for the Canadian firmware & hope it doesn't screw up the CSC again.....

Probably the most complex way of getting what I want (as in, back to the exact same setup I got when I first inserted my Rogers SIM), but at this point I'm almost ready to try anything....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
Changing the model number in build.prop doesn't help?

Flashed here on FD (XSP - Sigapore unbranded) and it did not work. Copied the files manually and swtiched to XSC:

I gained:

- LTE Icon (instead of 4G) yay!

- LTE+ (would not go into LTE-A before even when checking though *#0011#).

I lost:

- No star code works anymore (you have to use Secret code explorer)

- Settings receiver crashes on boot

I didn't gain but was expecting to:

- WB AMR

Manually edited the customer.xml file in both /system and /system/csc/XAC/system/csc to regain the mobile hotspot and data toggles with:

Completed my transfer today, my Note 7 became my daily driver.

All restoration from Titanium Backup was totally a piece of cake, no chocking like it used to on older phone models

that's already a good sign

put in my SIM card and automatically detected settings, Wind send me 2 links to install the APN for web / mms, and wow! so easy.

click install and done, I didn't need to type in the stuff manually.

The only thing I was surprised about, they removed Humility sensor, and Temperature Sensor

They also removed Infrared, I was soooooo used to using my phone as remote control... now I can't anymore :(

Recall is only for Exynos bro. And only in South Korea. No incidents reported elsewhere. They narrowed it down to a specific contractor.

Posted a trick on how to get your csc back on the other thread. Basically putz around with the buildprop until Samsung info app shows RWC as your csc once that's done it should show up on smartswitch and a reset will bring everything back to normal.

for guys that rooted the phone with sprint way

You can return to stock if you download the firmware from Sams

then you can flash back the CSC via Odin,

I did that yesterday and it worked great,

although it wasn't even necessary to get it to work properly, but I did it to return it back to stock, due the Recall thing.
