That doesn't guarantee a method of checking - it could have been a separate (pre-icon change) update that was pushed out as a direct result of the recall. It might not have had any changes other than the added recall notification.

Odds are that at least some of the replacement phones were already manufactured when the problem was discovered - the problem is with the battery, not the phone itself, and if they had to start manufacturing new devices after the recall began then a lot of people would still be waiting for replacements that haven't been assembled yet.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] en11gma:
can the OP please add/modify instructions so we (non-sprint note 7 owners) can have a rough guide to files we need to substitute?

i mean i have a us cellular note 7 on PH1 (SM-N930R4)

phone is prob gonna do the forced update soon.

there is no official us cellular firmware out yet.

if i want to flash the phone to verizon note 7 (they do have official firmware out)

what would be the process if you wanted to put the sprint note 7 to ATT/Tmobile or Verizon?

thanks
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its the same process lol.. if u want to use the verizon root method for example go use their thread for root and follow those instructions.. no need to cobfuse ppl further by mixing and matching various root threads
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] en11gma:
its still belongs in this thread because what im talking about is an example of what you would do if you were going to take the sprint branded note 7 sm-n930p and move it to another carrier with the root method intact
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
im just sayin ovrdrive created specific root threads for verizon and other variants that specifically has what youre asking for lol.. the sprint root method is universal but originally intended for sprint..

other variants now have there own unique threads that still use this rooting method.. all of them involve the sprint rom.. if u want verizon files for example they are already in the verizon root thread as well as you should follow theur thread regardless.. if you want sprint this thread is for you lol

but hey, if op wants to add more files and steps that dont have anything to do with sprint devicesthen by all means
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] en11gma:
i know what you mean except with us cellular there is no other forum or thread :(

us cellular and sprint share the same bootloader/recovery alot

in my area (midwest usa) us cellular is pretty big so i have had almost every phone (samsung models) since the Galaxy S2.

whenever the guys that make twrp/cwrm they usually use the one from sprint and usually it works almost 100% in the us cellular phones.

anyhow i think this forum/thread (Sprint) is the closest to mine for the us cellular N7 variant.

would be glad to test but us cellular has not released an official firmware yet for N7 so not sure how far i can go.

i can only try to root and make my phone into a verizon or sprint since they are cdma and gsm

i think the tmobile and att models are GSM only
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Sounds like you answered your own question right there :)

If the Sprint method had always worked, then stick with it. Just make your US Cellular changes
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] en11gma:
what changes?

there is no firmware available yet
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
If what you need to make it work is in the firmware, it seems you don't have have a method to do it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but if what you need is the US Cellular firmware and it's not available then...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
I actually work for USC as a quality evaluator for one of their call centers lol.

I know all about USC and their devices. Id say its closer to big red but as far as allowing BLs to be unlocked then theyd be more like Sprint since big red goes out of their way to block it lol.

I wish they had an "Unlocked" firmware we could flash.. maybe soon lol

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] richardjrdeal:
You're right...t mobile and AT&T are GSM and Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. The rom here is for Sprint version. You can't use it on another phone and the root only works on the developer builds of the rom because it has a built in su binary. Other builds do not. You'd have to find the equivalent developer build, for the note 7, for what ever carrier that particular phone is on, then follow the same root method described in this thread.

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pinetreehater:
Apparently based on what others have said it will work, if you don't upgrade to the latest Sprint OS (and the phone wasn't upgraded to version PHE). Otherwise, no it will not work.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Works on mine. You probably want to make sure you don't update the phone. Profile and PRL, apps and all that are okay to update, just don't update the firmware.

Dumb question, but is there something special about this SU or method that would preclude it from working on an Engineering image for the W8 version which also has Snapdragon? I'd assume the Engineering image would have similar directories and debugging enabled as the userdebug version, correct?

I usually root to flash a custom ROM. Since our phones have locked bootloaders I am questioning what's the greatest benefit to simply root? Only one I can think of is to use an Ad Blocker. Others that are crazy excited about this, can you give me a few examples of how you'll take advantage of the root ability?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pbedard:

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedumbrella:
In the folder, you have xposed.prop and in the script you have xposed_prop, but after changing all instances in the script to xposed.prop this was resolved.

Also, at least in my case, I had to

mv /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process32_bak

before running the cp command from the script manually then

rm /system/bin/app_process32_bak

.

This also applies to /system/bin/app_process64 otherwise I got "text file busy"

After both of these steps, the installation was successful and Xposed is working. I missed my chance to hit the donation button, though :(
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] freeza:

You can set a custom wallpaper, or your default launcher, Change your Sms app, use the Samsung theme store. . .

Reflashing the ROM did the trick. I'm rooted again!

Now I'm trying figure out why dialer codes don't work, like ##3282#, ##72786#

Have no service and can't activate this damn phone, tried copying a CSC folder and that didn't work

Someone else (in another thread on XDA) suggests HiddenMenu.apk

Oh, boy... it's going to be a long night.

Maybe I should have been more specific, I reflashed the PH3, debug ROM. From OP.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i think he meant from complete stock
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Did you do everything from the OP? I know I goofed up somewhere and tried to shortcut my way back amf it didn't work quote right, so I bit the bullet and started completely over from scratch.

And yes, I did flash back to official stock PH9 to get things going again.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedumbrella:
In case anyone else runs into an issue where the phone boot loops and doesn't want to start completely over (such as accidentally adding a typo in the build.prop), root is accessible in the stock recovery.

Mount system through the stock menu and execute

adb root

If you installed busybox, you can then execute

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

You can then run any desired commands as though you are using adb for a custom recovery, except adb sideload.

I'm trying to find download PH9 right now, hopefully by the time I get the files, someone can confirm it's ok, to flash it.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Yes, ph9 is fine. Not sure about with this method, but with the other one it works. It's actually in the OP of that thread. It's here, just look for it. That said, I don't see any reason why you can't use ph9 with this method. Give it a shot.

I must warn you, if you flash PHE, there's no going back. It can't be rooted and you can't flash an earlier build.
