its the rom used in the OP to gain root lmao.. did you read the first post at least, surely it will answer lots of questions...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fallenraven75:
Ok so I don't want root or custom ROM, just want to revert back to green battery mode....$100 to whomever figures it out
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] f3lking:
just odin the latest software. You owe me 100 Bucks. lol.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol latest software removes green battery and limits charge to 60% and increases nags.. he wants to go BACK to previous firmware, not latest..

if theyre smart they implemented rollback protection to force users even more to trade in
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fallenraven75:
The more I read the more I see that rollback is not possible
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] f3lking:
I had no clue they rolled out new software as im rooted and don't receive them updates. Sucks for those who upgraded.

Soooo, they decided to push that stupid update to my phone. and i said f it and taking a risk and experimenting with my phone. I know root and that all that stuff, but my phone is done now. Im stuck in recovery but can still can go to dl mode. wiping doesnt work , nothing is working. Im using odin but getting a fail. Ill be a guinea pig for who ever want to help. My phone is out there for the experimenting. I just want it to boot up...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
u need to wait until they have a tar for latest firmware if ever..

i dont think sprint has a repair assistant like verizon or else thatd work
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] phia:
So far I got odin working and went back to the green battery a hundred percent. But I can't get root for my life. It's not letting me flash any other files on Odin I guess I'll sit and wait patiently .
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
like i said, if your phone was originally on green battery firmware you are out of luck.. you cant root it and you cant downgrade from that firmware..

there is no root for you and doesnt appear to be any devs on the Note 7 anymore
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sleepycloud:
I posted a fix. Look over in this thread. It works 100% and downgrades without rooting or any modifications. It reverts to the previous firmware version without the battery limit or nag screen. Once you get that done, change your settings to NOT automatically download updates. Then... Go to the Google play store and buy Samsung Package Disable Pro. Do not use any free "cracked" version offered anywhere. The Google play app is .99 cents. Here is a link to my thread.

Just a quick question. I have just rooted using the AT&T Method as I had the original white battery firmware thanks to keeping on top of things.

I noticed the userdebug rom is missing some packages that I had previously disabled to prevent updating....as reading through this thread it is unclear if people running the userdebug are getting the OTA, but it seems that's the case.

Running pm list packages in the adb root shell, I cannot find wssyncmldm or UrgentFWUpdateSensorHub or UrgentFWUpdateTSP

freeza,

I read the entire thread before flashing. And when I flash, I get an error on Odin (FAIL). I downloaded file twice, assuming that the first one was corrupt, but I still get the odin error. Would appreciate any help you can provide.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JAG50:

Phone has original stock ROM.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jag5001:
It's frustrating. Everyone else seemed to successfully install root, but all I get is the darn red FAIL box. I mean, this isn't rocket science. I tried different computers with no luck. I downloaded file twice, no luck. I've been using freeza's stuff for years and this is the first time it hasn't worked.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you didnt say what firmware its on.. it couldve came stock with newer firmware thats patched.. the ONLY reason it would not work is if your device is on a later firmware.. its nothing wrong with the OP or his tar files
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JAG50:
elliwigy,

First of all, I want to thank you for replying to my post. I was beginning to despair because no one seemed concerned with my issue, and you stepped up to the plate. You're an officer and a gentleman.

Ok, so my phone got the darn Samsung patch and my battery dropped to 60%. I then flashed the N930P_VPU2APHE_SPT2APHE tar and restored battery to 100%. So I tried flashing the root tar numerous times with different computers and always get the red FAIL error. I read that someone tried a different version of odin, but I haven't tried that yet. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
to my knowledge you cant bcuz the BL was incremented and the debug tar is on an older BL
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kstephens98:
Sorry to tell you that you cannot root at this point. PHE and later firmware cannot root.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JAG50:

rolled back my firmware

Is it the build, I just put N930PVPU2APHE back on it, got my 100% back and no more annoying recall screen. Will it work with this version?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
no.. phe is not rootable.. you cannot downgrade further and i recommend blocking updates so you dont end up on a 60% or worse update again lol
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Admon420:
Yeah, talking to samsung i found out they ate preparing an update that prevents the phone from being turned on... i call sprint customer service and the number from the recall screen for Samsung every other day to complain about the way we are being treated....

To them, I'm just the one crazy guy who keeps complaining, but if every note 7 owner does this, there is a lesser probability that we will go ignored.

I am curious, is anyone working on a rooted PHE build? Would it be easier to unlock the bootloader? Could someone coerce a samsung engineer to leak the key? Just thinking out loud because we are going to need the XPOSED module if we plan on using our phones until the note 8 comes out...
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Nope, most to all have moved on.. They are not supporting the phone and you have been asked repeatedly over months now to return the phone.. You are being treated fairly considering the facts and the phone has been recalled, banned from flights and they have issued multiple statements and communications on what you need to do.. they have every right to update the phone to make it unusable..

you have the right to block the updates and continue to use it but i wouldnt expect any more root and def no leaks or unlocked BL for that matter.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nfamouzprincezz:
So if I have a preorder version but got hit with the first patch that switched me to the phe, I can still go back?

is there a video tutorial to this?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] notjames:
I'm getting the same issue with mine. My FW is Sprint stock (latest OTA update): N930PVPU2APK1 (official)

It looks like this OTA happened around Nov 11 and I'm assuming (I'm a n00b, so I could be wrong) that this update locked the bootloader, assuming the BL was unlocked prior to this update.

I'm reading recent (within the last three days) chatter on the Internets about the Note8 being released in 2017 around the usual release time: www|knowyourmobile|com/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-7/23824/samsung-galaxy-note-8-coming-2017-lg-made-battery <= one such article (replace "|"s with "."s)

So, I basically want to hold on to this Note 7 until the Note 8 (if it's real) comes out. Any help would be super awesome helpful. If I have to, I'll move cell service back to my Note 3 until I can successfully root my Note 7.

Help Obi Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope! :)
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] styles420:
^^^ Root seems highly unlikely at this point, since the devs with the knowledge and skill to do so have all bailed on this phone ;)

Custom roms are also unlikely, and official updates so far have only been geared towards discouraging further use of this incendiary device - when a profit-driven company puts this much effort into killing their own product, it's clearly a serious matter that you're trying to bypass at your own peril

[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dzion:
They won't work if you have the green battery update. If you want to avoid the update tomorrow you going to need to get s package disabler and disable anything that says update

Also if you can't charge to 100% there is a fix for that. This forum is mostly dead, there is a group that will help you out tho called note 7 Alliance. They are on Facebook and it's pretty active. Best thing to do right now is shut off WiFi and mobile data until you have everything disabled.

Hi Experts,

I got note 7 from sprint and am on version N930PVPU1APGC. It's locked version and am on 2 years contract. Before I can root my device would like to know few things:

1. As OP says "his does not 'trip' knox. It remains 0x0" - Whoever rooted their device can pls confirm.

2. If device gets bricked, is there a way to recover? and what about device warranty? will it void warranty? (Am asking this question because, I tried to root HP Slate 8 from sprint few days back and its stuck in bootloop and now its bricked. No help till date and I don't want this to happen with Note 7)

3. OP says "This guide assumes you have adb set up properly" - Can anybody provide info on what it is and how to get it?

4. OP says "Flashing back to stock via Odin reverses everything" - How to do this? and from where can I get stock firmware. Please correct me if am wrong. Am not that technical.

5. If I plan to root after few days and what if Samsung release new update soon and does this root method still works?

Thanks and I really appreciate any help.

Regards,

Prince

5. I doubt it will after update, and after this method of root you cannot update (correct me if I'm wrong).
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fogame:
You are correct. It will not allow for updates. This breaks that functionality. As far as root being available afterwards....it might be there however most hold off on updating until root is available. Either that or someone might find a way to preserve root/able to load it with root enabled inside of it.

Since there is no custom recovery yet.

If you're using the S7 with the unlocked firmware, you can probably use that other method that was mentioned for the hotspot to work. Using Shortcut Master Lite. It worked great on the s7 edge. You won't have other root stuff, but it's perfect for hotspot.
