Root Achived I'm All Good

now that I'm all rooted can I safely do a factory reset and still keep root so I can restore all my apps at once with out having to download them one at a time?

Scrapbook appears to be working. Also, I am able to download and update galaxy apps... (but i was able to do so before the cloud fix also)

You never got an error message? Can I press my luck with you and ask you to install the original SNote with Action Memo? It's a 1 apk install, then double tap your screen with the button depressed. I had issues with these things and they're the reason I went back...

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
I am pretty sure the gear stuff not working is down to the su binary.. if u try to update smart switch on the phone it says it needs to be in user binary..

i also think since this rom is technically a debug rom with su enabled by default on the system level it might be difficult to get a workaround..

i could b wrong however lol

Hey everyone.

I just got a Note 7 and it's my first android phone, so I've never rooted before. But I'm pretty computer savvy and this guide seems simple enough for me. I'm just running into a problem.

When I try to extract the Verizon firmware, I get an error that says "WinRAR Diagnostics Messages: [File Path of zip file]: The archive is corrupt." (I have a screenshot but I can't post it). I've checked the MD5 of the zip file and it matches up fine with what's on the host website, and I've redownloaded it multiple times, but every time I try to extract it, that happens. The file SEEMS to extracts fine, but I'm cautious to move forward if this file is actually corrupt.

Any advice? I just want to get Xposed up and running on this phone. The modules seem like a good time.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffbob48:
What Verizon firmware are you trying to extract
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RadicalxDreamer:
I'm using the one in the link in the OP. The one supplied by Misterxtc.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
try 7zip, its better in many ways.. also try to open archive n select each file one at a time n select extract
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffbob48:
Use this provided by AstonsAndroid

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/0B0RoLR_uNQiNZDdJbEsxNkNBWG8?usp=sharing

download the CSC and thats it do not extract it or download the rest cause they cause issues. And if you want the non Verizon settings than flash all sprint and let it boot all the way (30 minutes) then boot to download mode and flash just the verizon CSC no Home CSC don't download that one. Then you'll be all set.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
im on stock right now if u need any files.. i unrooted my device by accident now lettin it charge before re rooting lol
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffbob48:
Can you root stock and pull the build prop and csc?

---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Or somehow pull them without root

[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lmax579:
No I didn't try it
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffbob48:
You still need to do the cloud fix yes but by all set i mean everything will be working

And you still obviously need the sun7 to root. But do not root untill you flashed the CSC after booting once
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lmax579:
So this Sprint AP that we have to root, we don't have one for tmo that will do the same? Turning it into a tmo phone rather than a sprint and still be able to root?

No there is no tmo rooted build as of yet

Right on! Okay, so side loading the APK is easy, I've got that down (like I said, first Android phone so bare with me haha). So how do I flash zips and will that factory reset my phone? And what order should I do this in? (Flash the two zips then side load the APK?) That'd be a bummer 'cos I just got all my apps and settings back after the root but I suppose I'd do it all again if it meant getting Xposed to be up and running.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
download an app call flashfire to flash zips and no it doesnt factory reset
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] spinedoc:
With root can you add in stuff that Verizon took away, like the device management tools? I'd love to get the Samsung settings menu as well. I wonder if we flashed the international ROM instead of the Verizon one, since no one seems to care about the carrier specific features.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nu2droid:
I am up and running with root with just flashing the csc file and replacing the apn file.

What are the other two files (BL, CP)?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
I think BL is bootloader and I'm not sure about CP. If you still had to install then apn file then I don't need to add it this to the guide.

yeah, it said 4G but it wouldnt connect till i did the apn.

thanks fr the write up...

I'm about to get a VZW Note 7 tomorrow and this is awesome news! Might try it stock and I won't take that first vzw update just in case it affects this root. I'm coming from a rooted bootloader unlocked VZW S5... who knows maybe there'll be an exploit to unlock the bootloader for the Note 7 too XD
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonsAndroid:
From my research and experience this is what they all should mean.

PDA: It refers to the build version of the software or firmware. PDA is now known as AP in the latest versions of Odin.

CP: Modem

CSC (Consumer Software Customization): It is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and APN setting with device reset.

Home: (Consumer Software Customization): It is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and APN setting without reset.

PIT: PIT stands for the Partition Information Table. You only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout.

BL (Bootloader): As its name implies, this option is used to flash the Bootloader of the device.
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] raduque:
Can I follow this step and NOT root, so I can keep Samsung Pay?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Interesting. I wonder if there are any drawbacks of running Sprints modem and bootloader? Have you had any signal issues or errors? When you look at your account online does it recognize your phone as a Verizon Note 7?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonsAndroid:
I just installed My Verizon App and it doesn't see a difference.

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

I realize my error now. When I started out the day I was able to enter the APN in the Sprint only firmware. Then I flashed VZW CSC and everything was working. You are correct your listed steps. I missed the APN as an issue. Thank You LRiley!

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

Honestly No.

No reason to follow this post and not root or expect Samsung Pay. The Samsung Firmware acknowledges this flash as rooted even before the ADB commands are executed.

Try Flashing the Canadian SM-N930W8 AP instead. Let us know how that works. I can guarantee a Verizon less experience.

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

I have flashed Canadian, US Sprint user-Debug and VZW firmware through Odin and FlashFire. This post is final as the best method to date. Thanks to the OP for working out the bugs. I am on Verizon, Rooted with Android 7 Launcher, Ad away and full control over bloat with Titanium Backup. I guess I will keep this device (for my wife). I still like my Note 4 better for the removable battery and the IR Blaster. Good night fellow flashers!:o:)
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnShaft69:
can someone post a link to the sprint AP only instead of the entire flash file? why dl 3gb file if we only need a portion??

pls sticky this post, as I am sure its about to blow up
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] LRiley:
the link is the ap...
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnShaft69:
i thought there were like 4 or 5 sections in each rom, were the AP is only a section of the file... the link is to the whole rom.. what am i missing?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AstonsAndroid:
You are correct Sir,

The AP within the Sprint Firmware is actually 2.9 GIG from 3.03 total size! What benefit is there to struggle with a different Odin re-package?
[Verizon Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] JohnShaft69:
ty for the confirmation.. however, until around 9 hours from now when i can finally get the 3gb file(currently grinding at 100k), i had no way to know that it was the bulk of it. gracias for the info!

edit: I thought I had previously read the issue was that Samsung pay isn't even supported because the build root is using is a pre release dev build. Not sure on that though.
