I have been trying to restore and have followed every (seems like it); rooting or downgrade, of the build, but absolutely nothing. I have also noticed that my build is not listed anywhere any ideas? Have you seen it?:confused: build: MMB29M.N930W8VLU2APK1

I have 2 n7's. one is locked to Telus (trying to get it unlocked) my daily driver is locked to Rogers both have the exact same build.... Thanks for any info in advance
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Why wouldanyone want PK1 lol...thats the build that killed the charging and everyone has been getting off of

No wonder rooting doesnt work since it hasnt for the last 2 builds.

If your not able to downgrade to PI3 then its user error as lots of other people have been able to go from PK1 to PI3.

I suggest re reading all the guides and trying again.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] moegrease:
I have tried every variation with no avail Odin just keeps failing. I have tried a few different guides and I either soft brick or i get a fail within the first 10 seconds.... I guess back to looking for some guides

Yes and yes I am downloading a fresh copy as we speak so we will see in the morning if this takes (fingers crossed).

And force70 you seem like a very knowledgeable guy seen alot of your posts and was wondering have you heard anything about sim unlocking (not a code but rather a pc to phone brute force kind of thing?)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
No sorry i cant help with sim unlocking my friend.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
If anyone finds sim unlock solution for W8 let me know.

I've been trying for past 2 weeks now.

Few companies say No within a day.

One company has been trying for 9 days and no luck.

Having a guy trying for me one more time to find codes, somewhere!

Doesn't look promising tho.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
Try to find somebody which is using Furiosgold box or dongle for unlocking. I was in the same situation.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
obviously no.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yajirobe:
How so?

If this is so obvious, why should you have had to answer this question or felt it necessary to do so? Start making sense.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alquistador:
Boom
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
Someone has to answer even if so obvious.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yajirobe:
grumble grumble

The answering in itself is evidence against said obviousness.

My point is, why be passive aggressive if you've already decided to use the energy to answer, then not leave even a hint as to why this person considers it obvious, like there is a sponsored ad on the side of the page that says "No note 7 root for Canadian variants!" with a big date in red that always has the up-to-date time and date.

But, I diggress. this is not likely to go anywhere good. haha
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Why I reply to a post is not your concern, dont like my reply? Fair enough but save the silly comments for somewhere else

And answering questions to which the answer is obvious sadly is normal for xda now.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

And yes despite you not having much activity here on the board even you can recognize when you open your mouth with a comment like your reply to my post it will not go anywhere good.

So probably would be a good idea to keep comments like that to yourself sir.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
Wow. People have way to much free time on their hands.

This is a discussion thread and asking if someone found any new way to gain root access is perfectly normal.

^ About being sad about giving obvious answers, for years all kind of questions and contributions have been welcomed at the xda community as long as they were in correct section, not flooding a development thread and was not repetitive.

Cheers!

I just received a call from Samsung, asking me nicely to make an arrangement for returning my Note 7. Yeah... good luck with that Samsung! ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Wow they actually called you. The must be getting desperate lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
laugh the called me and I was in the gym. Very polite lady but did not understand the word I was saying to her. ESL. =)

I Told them I returned both.

Interesting how they called me about the returned phones, yet on my second hand bought N7 im waiting since last monday to hear back from them on the extrange/return solution. Funny, of course I have asked her what's up with that and she had no explanation other than her dept does not deal with that ')

Man if this seocnd silver note 7 was not locked to telus or i could do something to unlock it I'd be having my friend using my this note7 already. I bought it for her. Instead shes on her old iphone.

My luck of course its locked and to one of the worse networks (least monthly price wise)

I cant even get her to go with telus because their monthly rates are higher than bell rogers and fido.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] moegrease:
Hey I have been dealing with this company for the last few days. they are trying to unlock my n7 locked to Telus as well.... They seem to be a little more knowledgeable then your average phone shop or store. http://www.kmasterelectronics.com/

You hear anything back from them?

How did you get them to send a cheque?

I finally got an email from Tech Data

"INTERNET RETURN RECEIPT

Order Date: 2016-11-18 10:54:40 AM

Order Number: 1629

<and so on>

"

But there's no indication of it being a refund to the credit card (not sure how that would work since my CC number has changed since then) or if it's a cheque.

Anyone have luck talking to TechData or Samsung for this?

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
it's such a nightmare. The other day i got two emails in 3mins, one saying they couldn't do anything for me:

"Your device was purchased from an authorized Canadian Samsung dealer/Carrier which entails that you must refer back to your place of purchase to seek further instructions. Regretfully EnR support is unable to assist in this matter."

(This was for my samsung.ca order btw)

And another saying it was being escalated.

It seems anyone who purchased from a carrier or store has a better experience than Samsung's online store.

I ordered one from Costco.ca, and I returned it to the warehouse. In and out in 10mins.

Edit: I should add that I've moved from one side of the country to the other during all of this, so that hindered things like getting them to send the return boxes to where I live now instead of my old address.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
Nope, status quo from Samsung. I'm calling CIBC Visa Monday morning and proceeding with a charge back.

I'm done!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I just got a call from rogers asking me if I was aware of the recall lol.

I said yes of course then the CSR asked why havent i returned the one active on my account and i told him because everything else you have sucks.

So then he asked why dont i return it for a refund to them? I said it was not purchased directly from rogers and he said it doesnt matter they just want the devices out of service.

That i didnt expect and was surprised at him saying that.

I flashed firmware for my Note 7 ( SM-N930W8) with Odin basically downgrading it to firmware N930W8VLU2API3 to get rid of 60% charging.

Can somebody explain to me if bootloader is blocked and not allowed me to root my phone flashing TWRP bootloader. But it's allowed me to flash firmware. Maybe there is a chance to root my phone the way I flash firmware?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
please spend some time and do the reasearch before attempting all kinds of things on your phone. You don't want to harm it and finding out later that you phone was not ready for root.

As far as i know the version you have provided is probably the worse one! Same one i have. We cannot root or do anything to this model. Only, downgrading the software to bring the battery to 100 and get the popups out.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
You also better install package disabler 6.3 or your going to get the OTA which will put you back to 60% charging again.

And Own31 is correct...no root for us

We here with tmobile have never seen a locked device either until we got the s7 s7edge.. Qualcomm and samsung really effed us with root. All exynos unlocked, and the Chinese snap is unlock able with crom, but not ours.. I would strongly advise waiting since you guys have a snap, or grabbing the international exynos which which be rooted any second

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Your snap will be locked just like all s7 and s7 edge snap variants are. Tmobile never had a locked device until the s7 and s7edge. We haven't confirmed yet if the n7 is locked and we hope it isn't as there still is hope, but seeming as the s7 was, this more than likely will be as well. God I hope I'm wrong though

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meboy:
Yeah. I don't think you'll notice any difference between a good class 10 and that UHS 3 card.

Not to say it's a real bad idea though. You could get the class 10 now and then get a UHS card maybe next yeah when samsung will probably be the first to support them. It would be cheaper by then. Or you'll already have one and not need to upgrade but paid a little more.

It will be great when they are supported. Should be a big noticeable improvment.

One of the reasons I may wait till next year. Some good stuff coming up. Compared to this nearly sideways that's happened since S6. Besides SD cards and water resistant coming back.

AT&T had locked bootloader with s6 exynos processor. T-mobile followed suit with the S7 snapdragon. I honestly don't think the processor matters. It's the country and carrier.

It wasn't just tmobile with the snap. It was the entire US variant of snaps.. tmobile has NEVER had a locked device. Ever. Then we did. Nothing we could do. So, I'm hoping the note 7 won't, I'm hoping yours won't, but in my opinion it's not looking good.

I put the new card in my note 4 last night and it is actually noticeably faster..i have 50gb of pictures on it and the old 633x card and with the old card it takes the gallery awhile to load and Im looking at alot of empty boxes while it loads up. Then when i open up a larger album same thing...always annoyed me.

With the 1800x card it loads almost instantly..very little wait time.

$200 well spent as far as Im concerned

Has anyone who ordered from the samsung website (techdatacanada) have their device shipped?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
They'll be the same. I have TWRP readyish for both only waiting on kernel trees from Samsung OSRC. Rooting should be as easy as flashing SuperSU from there.

Snapdragon will probably receive more love from custom non-touchwiz roms and Exynos will probably receive more TouchWiz repack rom love.

My first objective will be to start kernel trees for both, merging Samsung's changes onto Google kernel common for Exynos, and onto CAF (probably a msm-3.18 LA.HB.1.3.1.c1 June tag or close to)

Then merge after commits in, then TWRP friendly commits, then start CM kernel branches with their usual commits to hope someone picks up on them given my limited interest in custom ROMs (I modify stock to my likes and then use custom kernels for everything else)

I should be picking my device up in a few hours, but not 100℅ sure as my telecom dealer doesn't know if the Note 7 is part of this latest batch of shipped phones or not. I'll test the bootloader a few mins after its in my hands. :) Otherwise I may have to wait till Friday...

Emailed CIBC Visa all my pertinent information and documentation this (yesterday) morning.

About 2 weeks in my case as a credit to my CC. Of course, no communication about this from them. I was checking my CC website that day to find out how to start a dispute.

Did anyone return their phone directly back to Samsung, but had originally bought it through a carrier as a subsidized device?

If so, did Samsung refund you the full retail price (and simply assumed you would pay off your device balance as required), or did they only offer to give you what you paid up front for it, and let you lose the rest of the value?
