Dispute with paypal and return these phones to the sellers. Do not listen to the swappa sellers on this thread - this is the seller's problem, not the buyer's problem.

Do NOT contact the sellers. Dispute with paypal first - ALL US phones have been recalled. The seller's must take them back.

In fact, the 2 US phones that exploded were TMobile phones. One was a TMobile demo unit in a Missouri TMobile store. The other was a TMobile customer in Florida.

However, don't go into that - dispute with paypal, the phones are defective. The seller's are not qualified to expound on the differences between units anyhow. All US devices have been recalled.

Great news, I filed a return request with eBay to force the seller to accept my return and they finally agreed and sounds like they're taking all the ones they sold back and will send me a replacement at the end of the week.

"Greetings, We have been told by our Samsung agent to accept all of our customer returns. We are receiving the new model at the end of the week. Would you like to have it exchanged? Best regards SobeOnline1 Customer Service"

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
to people who imported the Singapore variant, Samsung Singapore has announced its exchange program, and buried deep in the FAQ, it says if you own the singapore note 7 but are not physically in singapore, you can exchange it at your current country.

http://www.samsung.com/sg/note7exchange/faq.pdf

Q: What if I bought it in Singapore but now residing in another country? How can I ship it

back and how can you send the units outside of Singapore?

A: You may exchange the device with the residing country, according to residing country’s exchange

process.

to be honest... i'm skeptical. Asia legs of major companies are always getting their info wrong (like when Samsung HK kept selling the Note 7 on Sept 2 and said their batch had problems, only to later announce 500 of it are affected. i find it hard to believe we can just take our singapore variants to say, the UK Samsung or hong kong samsung and exchange...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] tsiglas:
This is true here in Europe Greece Samsung has recall no more than 20 Note 7 duos phones from United Arab Emirates and Samsung Hellas (Greece) doesn't letting as to return the phone's to Dubai where we bought the phones because it's her responsibility to return and replace them...As far as good now the problem is the replacement... Does Samsung Greece will give as the same model Fd duos that isn't for Europe?

Samsung Greece said yes exactly the same model not only to me but to everyone else and not only one time but every time we communicate with them...

Personally I think that they will change their opinion when time comes and they probably give us a European model....and then the Fight will start
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NexVision:
I called Samsung last night about my FD version. I was told that since my provider is ATT I can take it to a ATT store and they will replace. I explained to the woman that it was the international Dual SIM version and she said that the only info they have been provided is for the US Note exchange program to which my device would not qualify since it was a overseas model. That I needed to call back and ask for help with mobile phones not the Note 7 Exchange program. Once I did I explained the situation to the rep. Who then explained that since it was in fact a international version the device would have to be returned to the place of purchase since I did not have a valid address in the country of sale. She did state that there is very little info on the process for users who are in this situation and to check back after the launch date for the recall program in the devices country. Which in this case would be 9/19/16 for the UK version.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
Yup, made worse by Samsung's inept Singapore and HK branch spreading false information. Samsung singapore's faq claims owners of the Singapore variant can exchange in another country. I knew it was BS when I read it. Their fb page keeps referring Singapore customers to call 1800 Samsung, which is for the US Samsung office and no one there knows anything about international models.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gekkehenkie11:
This post should be sticky as first post. Samsung officially saying we can exchange foreign phones in our home countries, that's all we need to know !

I bought a 930FD on eBay (seller imobile_uk) and they have asked me to contact Samsung UK to see if they resolve else they are willing to provide a refund.

I contacted Samsung UK and they have taken my details with a promise to revert within 7 days and mentioned that in this scenario they would be able to replace the phone (no details on the dates/process yet) and the country of purchase does not matter since I live in the UK.

I am not sure If I can trust the people I spoke with at Samsung UK (time will tell) but for now it is reassuring.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
please let me know what you hear from the samsung store. where are you based? i'm based in HK and i can say that samsung HK said they're not exchanging singapore phones. like i said earlier, this might be a case of Samsung Singapore talking out of its ass. this type of sh** happens a lot in Asia... lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gekkehenkie11:
Print out the FAQ, show them the link on the internet, demand an official statement signed by them that they do not want to exchange it, signed by the employee who tries to brush you off and threaten to send it to Samsung international. Really, if Samsung international says your local Samsung store needs to do it, there's just no way around it. Don't take no for an answer.

I purchased from TropicalMobile on Ebay, initially they told me that their phones were not affected, after reading the post here from Singapore Samsung, I emailed them saying i had received info from Samsung Singapore that all phones where to be replaced (except those sold in china), they sent me this response ( I replied that i agreed as long as this process was completed before the 30 day return date):

New message from: tropical_mobile Top Rated Seller(40,542TurquoiseShooting Star)

Hello

No Problem.

As the usual SOP (Standard of Practice), we will put you under the list of replacement program

Once the new stocks arrive, we will contact you and inform you.

We will proceed to send you the return label to have the phone send back

Upon received, we will do a exchange for you and send to you the new one

This is how it works

Let me know if this is okay for you

Thank You

Emily
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] andyahs:
They will send you an old one they still have in stock they do not and will not have new replacements yet. You will still have a defective one just newer than the one you sent back.

Same response I am getting from them. Not sure I trust them to not stall this past 30 days so we will see.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] akgrown:
Another thing to be wary of with an eBay exchange (as andyahs points out ^^) is to A) not accept any phones that have the seal broken on the box, and B) download that Phone Info app from the Play Store and check the build date on your "new" phone you receive. Just playing devil's advocate here, but I wouldn't put it past a shady seller to just send out a returned phone from one party as a "new" phone to another party and claim it was the new version.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ozzief16a:
I spent 50 minutes on the phone with a Samsung US customer service "supervisor". There is a total disconnect between the various regional

Samsung divisions. At the beginning of our conversation I told the supervisor that I bought an N7 from Tropical Mobile in Singapore and wanted

to exchange my phone for a new N7. She said that I would have to request the exchange with Samsung SG. I told her that the FAQs (the Q&A

that's been quoted a few threads ago) on the Sammy SG site said that I was supposed requested the exchange with the Samsung division in

the country where I presently reside. She asked for my phone's IEMI number, entered it into her computer and reported that my IEMI number

was invalid (not in her database). I then directed her to the FAQs on Samsung SG's website, I had her read out loud the Q&A that addresses

phones purchased in Singapore by customers who subsequently moved to other countries. She did not dispute Samsung SG's Q&A - she couldn't

it was right there on her computer monitor - her position was that Samsung US's Q&As says that phones purchased in countries other than the US

must be returned through that country's Samsung division/region. I then asked her if she was saying that Samsung SG's Q&A was false or a lie?

Her response was " no I'm not saying that it's in error". I then said to her then if their Q&A was not in error then it must be correct right? Her response

was "I guess so". OK, then if their Q&A is correct then Samsung US should exchange N7s bought in Samsung SG's region by people residing in the US

as per their Q&A right! Her response was " Sir I have to go by the return policies listed here in my region (Samsung US). And so it went for the next

15 minutes. We finally parted company with her agreeing to bring the discrepancies between Sammy US and Sammy SG FAQs to the attention to the

company and that I should hear from someone at Samsung US within the next 7 to 10 business days - I'm not holding my breath.

Amazon is now crediting my refund to the debit card I used to purchase the Note 7. I have been directed that the phone must be disposed of in accordance with the laws for disposal of electronic devices in my local jurisdiction. Didn't see that coming, someone really doesn't want to see houses burning down...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fishdj:
Her initial response was exactly what I got when I called yesterday. Sending us on a wild goose chase with conflicting info.

FYI, prior to my call I was told my Samsung support chat that exchanging an international version wouldn't be a problem and instructed me to call 1-800-726-7864(1800-SAMSUNG).

I still have some time to decide if I want to return the phone to the seller. Hopefully Samsung as a whole can finally agree upon a plan because all these regional cr@p's getting ridiculously messy. Just like Samsung Pay...locked by region code...stupid.

Oh thats interesting. One of my phone was purchased from Amazon, but other than the notice I received about a day after the recall announcement and some exchanges with them and the seller. I was offered to mail back the phone to receive a refund. Which I am still debating since I still have some time to decide based on what Samsung has to say about these phones....
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I first received an email saying that I would be refunded but not to send the phone, they would let me know when they had a procedure in place.

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)

So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"

After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.

Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....

I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help :)))

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] simthadim:
Hey!

I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.

First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.

Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?

Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733

You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).

Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):

This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."

So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!

step 3)

Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.

This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Godeske:

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.

So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.

when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

this fix worked for me,

On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.

- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573

and then extract.

- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.

- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.

- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here

- type fastboot devices

- make sure your serial number appear.

- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.

- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.

- make sure you flash all the missing partition.

- type fastboot reboot.

this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.

unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA

goodluck mate. sorry for my english
