Oh it exists alright. I made sure to get my Note 7 on JOD. You can only get it over the phone, though. Only through telesales, as the in store associates will swear on their lives it doesn't exist, as it hurts more than helps their bottom line.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxenroth:
[MENTION=5663089]Rx8Driver[/MENTION], you are incorrect. You need to call CS, can't do it in store.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxenroth:
And I can tell you how to get out of JOD,I have done it twice so far. There's always a loophole.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AKW:
Hm. JOD still exists here. I was behind a customer at the store who signed up for it at my suggestion. I also used one of my jumps (JOD) to get the N7 while I was in store.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxenroth:
Let me clarify. Certain business accounts can do jump on demand in the store, also if you already have jump on demand you can do that in store. A new customer with a regular / traditional line cannot do jump on demand in the store. They have to call customer service.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AKW:
Okay, so that explains why I was able to use one of my jumps, but not how the customer in front of me was able to sign up for the plan in-store. Maybe she just got lucky?

OT: I will be keeping a very close eye on this thread. I'm hoping a root method comes out that's more stable than what the S7E had. I won't be crushed if we can't root, but I would absolutely love V4A.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
Hey guys,

Please remember to keep the discussion to root methods and bootloader conversation. We don't want to go too far OT so developers have to muddle through.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Seriously? In store chic told me they quit it and Unless grandfathered only jump was available now? You mean i can call or use website and get it still? I'm going to go check lol

This ☝
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RoidDroidVoid:
That's the concern that I raised last night but Rx8Driver feels like a change to the kernel may in itself eliminate the verification thereby allowing the modified kernel to boot.

I'm not exactly clear on why he believes this but it may be an avenue worth exploring if Rx8Driver feels it is plausible.

We should continue this discussion on the new thread in the dev section that I created for this purpose. Hopefully, we can distill only the relevant facts, develop ideas and discuss results without the conversational banter that comes with having a thread in the general discussion section.

Here is the link to that thread:

[Proof of Concept] Modded kernel injection using Sprint userdebug FW on N930T

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-note-7/development/proof-concept-modded-kernel-injection-t3451542/

(I should mention that I'm not finished posting the compilation of information yet but I need to take a break and I'll finish gathering and posting a bit later.)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
It should also be mentioned this is theoretical and depends upon other things in addition to a hybrid kernel....at this point... dm-verity checking can be switched off at compile time, as can tima and a few other things...i think it's worth exploring since we can get basically full working root one the userdebug firmware and that's all that's necessary to adb dd the kernel image - once the kernel is in place and other protections are disabled on next boot (only possible because of the userdebug Bootloader - wouldn't be on official) i think we'll find we can inject supersu into system/xbin and execute without kernel panic reboots (also disabled at compile time, refer to Chainfire's Posts) plus the checksum only becomes an issue when Odin flashing or booting an official locked Bootloader.... Odin will fail is checksums mismatch, as will device fail to boot on official... but on userdebug Bootloader we SHOULD be able to root the t-based Rom, thus allowing volte and WiFi calling....unless Jovy has some other ideas up his sleeve i think it's worth exploring, yes....
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RoidDroidVoid:
No Odin is key to this concept. We wouldn't be attempting to Odin flash the hacked firmware because Odin

will

block it, As I said last night though, IF this works, I can't see a user friendly way to distribute the solution since Odin is out and Flashfire only works if you already have root.

Each individual would have to follow the steps to dd inject the necessary pieces into the appropriate spots in the correct image. That's a risky proposition for many of the readers here.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
It can be scripted into a 1 click solution
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
That's right... heimdall MIGHT be a solution... and might not...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RoidDroidVoid:
Maybe a few scripts... but give a man a script - he will find a way to break it. :silly:
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Lol ive seen that in countless threads over the years [emoji106]
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elementalx:
This.

Could hemidall or some Odin variant work?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
I have flashed both the emmc_appsboot.mbn from the leaked sprint firmware and also the stock tmobile firmware .tar files when being on the leaked sprint firmware with root and they both flashed successfully in odin.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
How about the pit file?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jovy23:
The thing i have realized is that you CANNOT flash any of the pit files when your on a different firmware. I have tried to flash the GRACEQLTE_USA_TMO.pit over the sprint leaked firmware and the device will soft brick. While i was on my tmobile stock deodexed build and then flashed the GRACEQLTE_USA_SPR.pit file over it i would also get a soft brick meaning my device will stay stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy note 7 powered by android" screen and will never get to the bootanimation.

The only way it can be flashed is you will need to have a matching system.img.ext4, cache.img.ext4, and boot.img in order for the pit file to install. I managed to get mostly every stock official t-mobile .tar file installed on my device while the only difference is the sprint firmware, cache, boot.img, and pit file and what do you know i still can get root on my device. I'm guessing that would mean that it's either something in the sprint's boot.img, system.img.ext4, or GRACEQLTE_USA_SPR.pit that gives me the ability to execute the su binary from within Sprint's system partition. Also in the leaked sprint's odin .tar file it has a carrier.img.ext4 file which in the stock tmobile firmware odin .tar doesn't. Not even in the official Sprint odin .tar it doesn't even have that file so it's only in the leaked firmware for some reason.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] -BoneZ-:
90-days if you get it from Costco.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Have you tried extracting the carrier ext4 file with Linux to see what's in it? That's where I'd be looking.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] OvrDriVE:
i just out of curiosity. just coverted that file to a raw image that can be extracted and as far as i can see there is nothing in it. at least according to the program i use anyway. it may show something mounted in linux, although i didn't try that. i can though. let me boot to linux and see what happens with it
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Windows can't read ext4 partitions. You have to use Linux or convert it with an app first.... Windows uses (typically) ntfs so it can't decipher the image....

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

Btw [MENTION=4454815]jovy23[/MENTION] have you tried heimdall yet?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] OvrDriVE:
actually in windows i use simg2img to convert the ext4 file to a raw img and then ext2explore to extract the contents. and it works fine for system and cache however even in linux it comes up as a 47 meg file thats empty. let me try to convert it in linux and then view it there

even doing it via linux it comes up empty so i have absolutely no idea on that one.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Your process in Windows should work. It can't be empty...47mb is a good deal of info....i might just see if Odin will flash this by itself.... could be this file's existence is required for the firmware to flash and root.... likely even... I'm very curious to know what's in there so keep us posted!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] OvrDriVE:
whatever is there is definately hidden. and not accessable with the current tools i know of. and i have no idea how to show whats actually there. but you are right. 47 meg is definately a good ammount of data.

on another note. the persist.img.ext4 is the same way as that carrier image. shows as being empty
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
I'll figure it out give me a couple hours
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Surge1223:
Those are both signed with Samsungs private keys. I assure you, if you modify emmc_appsboot.mbn and dd it, you will brick.

You guys all seem to be under the assumption that this leaked bootloader you're on isn't locked or something.

i don't know why no one is trying to mass grep their device for whatver controls VoLTE, probs in vendor.

What happens if I flash the tmo deodexed build on my Verizon note 7?

Different source code. T/P/W8 variants use same source, vzw fw likely fail in Odin...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ted77usa:
[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] userdebug work just fine on vzw ...my buddy [MENTION=2477527]mrjaydee82[/MENTION] can confirmed that as well.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
Wish we could all set up a distributed hash cluster to cracked the code.

* I've been following the thread pretty much in real time..great stuff.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Don't want to get off topic, but all variants of snapdragon n7, are exactly the same in hardware. Only difference is the software. You can make any carrier, another just with a simple stock Odin flash. This maybe should be stickied somewhere.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Ok, well i say flash away and try it then.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ted77usa:
Already done on the first day.....he also got Volte work on vzw..... wait for him for more detail [emoji4]..... we are trying to compare three firmware tmo.....vzw....and Sprint and hopefully get the different between the three and see what happen.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
That means we can buy the Chinese variant 128GB/6GB come Sept 2nd and flash TM firmware eh? band 12?

On another note, how and where do these people who claim to have the magical firmware get it from?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
No, that is exenyos(sp?). So no go on that. The "magical" fw is available to the public on SamMobile.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ted77usa:
Go to [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] thread on sprint forum.... how he got it.....? that's out of my league.....haha

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68350266
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
The Chinese variant is an "x" model, SD820 like ours.

What I meant about the magical firmware was the files that are being sold, my bad...

Yes I know about sammobile lol.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
My friend sent me this the other day, from their Samsung store there. If their "x" variant is SD820, it's likely that the 128GB/6GB will be an SD820 as well and not an Exynos.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rx8Driver:
Yeah the Chinese variant is also sd820, but I'm very curious to see it's Bootloader from a few different Chinese carriers and maybe we find some holes that don't exist in North American firmwares.... probably not, but wishful thinking lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] iunlock:
I was thinking the same, which is why I even found it relevant to even mention it here on this thread. =)

Hope to get it cracked soon....
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ted77usa:
Then if that the case ask your friend to send us N930X firmware stock.home.tar..... maybe we can use it as developer edition like [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] mentioned yesterday so we can compare the different[emoji106]

Can you post a screenshot of your incall icons? Want to see your statusbar icons while in a call.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gandalf:
Intuitively it will work on Verizon as both Sprint and Verizon are CDMA.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AssassinsLament:
From past experience, with a locked bootloader, the bootloader itself checks for samsung's signature in boot.img and even in recovery.img, so by changing anything in those, it will not boot.

In fact, I don't even think you can DD t-mobile's official boot.img into the boot partition, and have it boot. If you could, then wouldn't you be able to just flash the Sprint userdebug, get root, DD t-mobile's offcial boot.img back, then remove all the files in system and repalce them with t-mobile's files plus root/superuser files?

Also, proof that it is probably just in the boot.img, verizon can flash t-mobile files and basically have volte... it's definitely how the kernel is compiled.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ice5192:
to see this from the 3rd party view would it really even matter if the darn icons matched we just need to ensure that the bootimg and everything with it matches the TMOB img, if this does in fact matter ill shut my mouth. I have been tinkering with the bootimg for sprint no luck yet.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AssassinsLament:
lol, yeah icons won't matter, in fact, every carrier can choose how their "icons" look like. I'm assuming a few flags are set in the kernel, that isn't set in Sprint's kernel, or maybe files are being loaded in the t-mobile ramdisk that isn't being loaded in Sprint's. Either way, we need either an engineering boot or an unlocked bootloader.

Everytime they tag him he gets a notification at least in XDA, and just because you use a fake email I would hardly assume most people do especially active devs.

It gets a little weird when people start posting links to your facebook and what not. People have lives and aren't hovering around waiting to service someone that cannot do it for themselves. So eye roll all you want but have some respect for the human beings on the orderside of that screen.
