i am currently trying to root and flash custom recovery on the SM-G928V, I have come across several post and articles claiming the ability to do so. But I come up with nothing after searching. Is there any rooting method that will work or has Verizon totally locked down the boot loader. sorry wrong thread
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] T33H00:
Hi guys!

So there is no ROOT available for PHE yet?

Thanks

Nope not yet, but hopefully soon!
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] shawnten:
out of curiosity is anyone actively working on root for the phe version
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] skillzo1:
Id like to know this also.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
theres always someone.. there probably just isnt any known exploits or leaks at this time..

if there wasnt a leak then there wouldnt be root at all so treat this situation like that lol
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffbob48:
There actually is a way but its near impossible to keep it. It's only temp
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
wheres this method you speak of?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
So are all units shipping from Verizon now on PHE?

I still have the original unit and have been waiting for my local stores to get stock in. I was thinking about going through customer service, but if all of the new units are unrootable I may just return it all together. Or possibly just keep the old one. This whole experience has been a headache.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
I'm thinking we might see a Nougat root sooner than PHE, only because for the device to continue to stay relevant and keep root, a root method for Nougat will be necessary. We could go without root for PHE technically since we have PH1 root and PHE did nothing worth investing in rooting.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
seeing as how many were forced into the update however and us not even having n making phe latest firmware surely some devs still have access to note 7s on phe

Thats why i want root. Youtube adaway...That alone for me is enough to root.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] PaulPizz:
It took almost 2 years for the note 4 to get root. The note 5 still doesn't have root. The note 7 may never see root unless we get another debug firmware. There aren't many devs out there working on Samsung phones anymore because they're so locked down. It sucks because I love the note series.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dumpyloser:
Is the PHE firmware still locked down for Verizon?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yes, locked down tight and even more so on latest update.. i doubt youll get root unless lucky some devs still have the note 7 which it doesnt appear so
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
Probably a lost cause, but just checking

So, I got the VZW update earlier and was capped at 60% charge, so I figured I would root my phone. Prior to finding this post, I was unaware of not being able to root PHE. I'm pretty sure I have the PHE batch, seeing that I exchanged my phone and have the green battery. It appears that my phone is bricked since I attempted to flash the Sprint ROM via Odin. Now I'm stuck in download mode. Sounds bricked. Any way to get it back up and running, even with the 60% cap? Or do I have to go switch out phones?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that is why u always read lol even in sprint thread all the comments wouldve helped you.. only option is try vzw repair assistant but if you took the 60% firmware update then you will need the odin tar for that firmware if the repair assistant doesnt work
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
Yeah, totally a silly mistake on my part lol. I've been outta the root community for about 4 years and thought I still knew what I was doing. Any idea about where I can find that TAR?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
dunno lol.. its very new.. try verizon repair assistant but dunno if thatd even work
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
Many thanks sir!!!!! verizon repair assistant not only unbricked my phone, but it also removed the 60% charging restriction!!! I just need to figure out a way to stop it from happening again
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lucky you lol.. you must still be on phe.. they probably dont have the latest update on their servers
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
Yup, I can see that I'm on the PHE. Damn the ready to install just popped up on my screen smh.. any way to get rid of it without installing?

This is accomplished by using package disabler if you have not already found your answer.

Trying to 'fix' a Note 7 that now has the 60% cap firmware, but I have no experience rooting. I have jailbroken iPhones though and can follow instructions. Is this the repair assistant I need? (Newbie and can't post urls yet... hence the extra spaces).

verizonwireless . com/support/knowledge-base-80201/

Also, where would I find the Odin tar for my phone (Verizon Note 7)?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the vzw repair assistant should revert you back to the phe green battery firmware unless they uploaded the latest already.. if it works you need to disable sdm.apk to block updates or else itll forve you onto the 60% update.

you CANNOT root at this time once it was on the phe firmware
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
Question. If I just received the install now or later message, is it too late to try to block/reject it with the package disabler pro?

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

yeah, as Elliwigy said.. following any root procedure with semi brick you like it did me. BUT!!! the verizon software repair tool will get you back to moments before the firmware upgrade. If you could quickly install package disabler pro and block the update, then you're good.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Woofa59:
No, it's not too late. And even the latest versions on the store are capable, they just do not have the packages listed so you have to do a manual entry. I did mine yesterday after receiving the update notice.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
If it's not too much trouble, could you please list the files you disabled that are required to get rid of this message?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] everychicken:
Can you provide some more specific instruction on

1) How to use the Verizon Software repair tool. Is it pretty straight-forward or is there something special I need to do?

2) How to use Package Disabler Pro to block the update.

Thanks
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:
very straight forward. Just choose the repair option. I'm still trying to get rid of the message. Will provide info when I complete it.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Woofa59:
I disabled these two: com.samsung.sdm and com.sec.android.soagent since we are talking about Verizon here. They do vary by carrier.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Number 1 was covered.

Number 2 is also very easy especially for anyone that can read between the lines sort of on Play app descriptions but clearly looking at the reviews this is difficult for some. PDP used to list all the packages. If you find an older version, 6.3 or before it will show all present in the list, later versions do not due to Google Play and Samsung pressure. If you get it right from the Play store (I think the dev deserves the $.99 Pro or $1.49 Pro+) you will need to use the Manual disable in the menu and enter the package names I've already given above as long as you are indeed on Verizon.

I just realized we rather strayed from the OP's topic here so I hope this is useful for people.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmunroe1:

Guys. Anyone knows if there is a VZW port available? Everything I found is International version.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
port for what? this is a vzw specific thread lol
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sczar:
I know its a vzw specific thread thats why I asked here lol.

What I meant. Is there a thread gor a vzw port to other devices? Like Note 7 International its been ported to N3, N4 and N5.

I am trying to find a vzw N7 to port to vzw N3. That was my concern. ????
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:
My wife accepted her OTA update recently and now has the 60% capped battery restriction. She isn't worried about rooting, but wants to get rid of the battery cap. Given Tmunroe's success of reverting back to the 100% battery by using Verizon Repair Assistant, should I be able to just plug her phone in and revert it that way, or do I need to go through the process like he did by trying to root it, semi-bricking it, and THEN using the repair assistant? I'm thinking I should just be able to use the software to revert it back to PHE w/ 100% battery. Thoughts?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i know lol.. if there was a port itd be in the N3 section.. they wouldnt put a N7 port for other devices in the N7 thread..

to answer your question i highly doubt it unless theres still devs putting in work on the N3 lol

Tried to ROOT after PHE

I got lazy and didnt do my homework about the PHE update, and tried to root my note 7. (big surprise, it didnt work) and now it's soft bricked. It failed while flashing in Odin. The phone goes to the update screen, then fails, and takes me to recovery. I cant use any of the functions, just get a lot of fails and errors. I hadn't read about the bootloader being locked, yeah I'm aware I'm an idiot for not properly researching first. (don't be too harsh)

Is there a way to flash it back to the PHE? Or am I stuck with a paperweight and its time to trade it in with the recall program?

Thanks
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler.Garrison:
Many thanks!

I had actually just found a similar post a few pages back in this thread (I really fail at researching today) so verizon repair is plugging along. Hopefully this works.

Now, once I am back to the newest version with the PHE, what option do I have to get rid of the 60% battery limit? I'm still confused if that can be reverted, or if you get it youre stuck with it.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:
I could be wrong, but it depends on what firmware Verizon has set to push to your device using this process. If I recall correctly, others that used the Repair Assistant went back to the 100% battery firmware. Then you just need to disable the reminders to update so you don't accidentally update back to the 60%. I'm about to do this with my wife's phone in a few hours. Keep us posted, please! I'm curious if VZW is still repairing phones back to the 100% battery firmware (fingers crossed).
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler.Garrison:
Just finished with the repair assistant, so far it looks like its pre-60% limit update! woo! Is there a way to make a copy of this firmware to keep in case verizon updates to the PHE firmware?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:
Looking to root my original replacement Note 7 with NO updates applied to date. I want to verify that to date, the things I can expect to loose after rooting with this method is limited to Samsung Pay and Wifi Calling, correct? What about MMS? Sounds like I'll also have an added Spring icon up top. I'm nervous about messing with my precious day non-updated N7, ha.

What firmware did it download to your phone?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:
I used it on my wife's N7 yesterday night and it put N930VVRS2APHE on there. Green battery at 100%.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tyler.Garrison:
Sorry never got around to posting back. Got pretty crazy for the Holidays

Yep. That's the exact same version I have. 100% battery for me, too! Now just to disable the update.

Hey [MENTION=3874614]NarcissusV[/MENTION] was it you that said you were going to try get a copy of that version from the verizon tool in case they update it? I remember someone saying they were gonna try, cant remember who though. I'd do it, but I wouldn't even know where to start lol
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] NarcissusV:
Nope. I remember seeing someone either asking if it could be done or saying they would try it, but wasn't me. I need to correct myself though in that the tool didn't work on her phone. Her N7 had some weird PK1 (N930VVRS2APK1) firmware that I've never seen before, and when we tried to use the VZW Repair Assistant it gave some error message saying it couldn't repair that firmware. I ended up using ODIN to flash her back to the green 100% battery and it worked perfectly, so I do have that firmware saved.

Don't bother with Package Disabler Pro because they've caved, disabled the functionality in their program and are reporting user phone serial numbers to Samsung. I asked for a refund within the 5 day period they advertise, but rather than refund my money they asked for my serial number.

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dennistaylor:
Then you must not have updated it. They've disabled the ability to use their program without a license check and if you have an older version, they'll force you to update and lose functionality to disable Samsung OTA updates.

You need to do line-by-line or search for the 4 packages to disable them from taking or even nagging you about the update.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cammy253:
It hasn't tried to force me to update it yet. I must have gotten lucky. Haven't had an update notification in months since I enabled package disabler pro. I did get my apk off of a website and not the play store. Maybe it was a cracked apk? I have no idea.
