[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] raf1919:
I hear ya, My dilemma is that I bought this on craiglist so returning is a risk. Previous owner might have stopped paying on it and samsung told me if they get phone and doesn't have clean IMEI they will keep phone and i wont get refund. So basically I'm not risking as i can still have use for phone even if blocked vs being out 700bucks. I will try the disabling apps you mentioned. Thanks.

Keeping this one.

I returned my exynos version and wish i hadnt as was lucky to get my hands on a snapdragon version again thanks to a friend and this is staying with me. Its on the latest firmware so no root which sucks but better a note 7 without root than no note 7 at all lol.

They say you cant re flash the previous firmware on the Tmo version but since mine is a W8 im not sure....normally I would just try it and if i brick just go buy another one but since i cant easily do that Im hestiant to mess with it

If i find another exynos one i will buy it also lol. Never should have returned mine and kicking myself for it.

It looks like I bricked my phone. I was planning on rooting it today so I downloaded all necessary files last night. This morning I began the root process from this tutorial, and didn't realize my phone updated last night to a new firmware! After trying to follow step 3 odin userdebug, it failed and now keeps boot looping into recovery.

It says Android Recovery

Am i completely screwed now?

Wow... so the rumor was right that Samsung push OTA last night while we are sleeping....

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...t-limits-battery-to-60-starting-tomorrow-115/

Did you try using smart switch and use emergency recovery option. It work for people that bricked on PI4 trying to root using PGC method.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MCoolU:
Yes those bastards made sure the OTA was pushed while we slept. How do I use the smart switch and emergency recovery? My phone keeps loading only into recover mode. I cleared cache, reset phone, then reboot and same thing. Samsung logo pops up then goes to recovery mode. :'(

I have a V1 Note 7 SM-930T on API4 Baseband & Build number, will this method still work? I think I know the answer but I'm hoping there's a chance.. I saw a post about how to try and disable the update that I can try if all else fails.

Ideally I want to get xposed working so downloaded everything as instructed and planned on following overdrives method throughl step 14 and then installing xposed via galaxyuser88's guide in post #5.

Can I safely proceed on my current bb & build?

I also have a V2 Note 7 that is luckily still on APGC... (It's powered off atm) but trying to save this V1 from this looming update is my priority.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
I do want to point out that this phone has a little battery bug you may or may not have heard of, and Samsung is under immense legal and social pressure to retrieve all units it can. You're keeping a dangerous defective phone and calling the manufacturer a group of bastards for trying to recall it.

If you are on PI4 ..... this root method didn't work for you.... only if you are on PGC and would like to root with the newer PI4 firmware or if u just want to root your PGC firmware then check post #2 for the BBX and Modified system.img file.

Try my buddy [MENTION=3364603]galaxyuser88[/MENTION] PI4 stock Odin file first....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68816641 ...... just download the PI4 home.tar file then.... turn your phone off then go to download mode.... open Odin then flash the .tar file into Odin AP slot. If didn't work then download smart switch for your pc.... enter your model Number or serial number from your box from emergency recovery option on smart switch.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MCoolU:
Its a voluntary recall. I've had it since the phone came out and haven't had any issues with battery or warming up. Yes they want the phone back but it works fine, and it is a product I fully paid for, therefore what I do with it should be up to me not to someone else. They are trying to force us to return it on a voluntary recall. If it were a mandatory one then it would be a different story.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
It may be voluntary for you, but like I said, Samsung is under a lot of pressure to get these phones back.

Ok I feel like a dumb ass,

This has to be the most complicated root, update I have ever seen. I accidently hit update earlier today which reduced my battery life to 60% I tried living with it today and it was driving me absolutely nuts I thought about taking the phone in and getting a damn iphone just because I'm tired of messing around with this phone..... I tried to root using post one however it keeps failing, I tried rooting using post 2 that also failed. I tried going back one firmware version that also didn't work, I tried doing the samsung smart switch recovery it asks for a code I tried the serial of the phone and model number that also didn't work. Can someone please explain either how to get root from the newest firmware or to revert back to a older firmware that dosen't have this stupid battery restriction.

Thanks Ted. I'll focus on blocking the most recent update they're trying to push to the PI4 V1 Note.

I'll follow the instructions to get my V2 on pgc rooted. Do you have any insight on how to get xposed running without issue and which firmware seems to be the best? As far as xposed is concerned I was planning to follow post 4, which basically says that I proceed with ovrdrives instructions #s 1-14 to get root and then install xposed framework via flashfire. From what I've read I can't install ovrdrive's mods or a custom Rom like TekHD's if I want to run xposed without conflict. (xprivacy / wanam are main reasons I want xposed framework)
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MCoolU:
I had the same issue. Look at the previous page, the solution worked for me. I went to the PI4 build, meaning I can't root anymore but I can charge to 100%. I also removed the notifications for updating with Package Disabler Pro. The only update notification I get is when I open settings. Just don't click on it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] S3BAZ10:
READ THIS IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST FIRMWARE VERSION!

your only solution is to go back to the PI firmware, no root, but you're able to charge back to 100% and can disable Samsung update apks.

done it all, keeps failing

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...
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ConcernedCustomer:
You can always go back to the original firmware you had on it before you flashed with Odin. There should be 3 in total to date. The original stock version "PGC, " the one where you get the annoying Safety Recall Notice box "P14" and finally the one that limits battery life to 60%.

Make sure you have the latest version of Odin and find the last version of firmware that was installed on your phone. You can find the firmware between these sites.

Joe I think u could go back to PI4 from PK1

[QUOTE="force70, post: 0"]
I doubt you can also go from PK with the 60% crap back to PI4...its likely blocked just like they blocked PI4 to PGC.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] force70:
Not exactly...

You absolutely cannot go back to PGC from either PI4 or PK1...not happening.

I doubt you can also go from PK with the 60% crap back to PI4...its likely blocked just like they blocked PI4 to PGC.

---------- Post added 9th November 2016 at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was 8th November 2016 at 11:56 PM ----------

So they block us from being able to go back and root but we can go back and get rid of the 60% charge limitation?

That's funny...i guess samsung was more interested in blocking root than consumer safety hahah!
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MCoolU:
You can go from PKI to PI4. The exact same thing happened to me and I went into a recovery bootloop trying to root the phone. I used the original PI4 files via Odin and went back to PI4. I then installed package disabler pro and disabled the update services. I can charge to 100% and I don't get update notifications. Check post #852 where ted77usa gives the firmware link.

If your on a network unlocked phone this root will re-lock your network. if you get a ((invalid sim card)) error this is why!

To fix this you would have to re unlock your phone!

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
This is for the 930T, not W8. I don't know if it applies to the W8, but if it does, I don't think that firmware will work. The version number is awfully close to PI4, and if it is the second update to the phone, this process isn't going to work regardless.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] force70:
it did work on the W8...but only when it was on the original firmware...doesn't work now on any variant
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] phia:
Okay I'm freaking out! LOL T-Mobile said they going to shut down our phones on the 19th! I actually did the method to stop the updates. But will that hold down for the shut down? Or do I have to root? I'm on the latest firmware that they have with the green battery. I tried root but I don't know what I'm doing wrong I keep getting an error message in Odin , I have no clue. I'm not a noob. Help!
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
This root method doesn't work with anything but the first release. It says it right in the OP. T-Mobile probably isn't going to release an update, but rather block all Note 7s from connecting to its network.

Canada is getting an update that will disable cellular, Bluetooth and WiFi, so that could always come to the US. I know there Note 7 is a great phone, but it might be time to say goodbye. It's a dangerous phone, and there are good alternatives, like the V20, OP3(T), Honor 8, etc.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] phia:
What if I just flashed back to the old version and put root? Honestly I'm really not worried about it blowing up if it hasn't done anything now it should be just fine.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
You can't flash back.

You may not be worried for yourself, but please remember that even Samsung doesn't know exactly what's causing the explosion (theory's starting to include the design of the phone itself), so unfortunately you can't really know for sure when/if yours will fail: at home with minimal damage, or in a crowded subway car.

I'm not trying to force you to get rid of it, but you really should consider it. The LG V20 is a great phone too (I have it and I really enjoy it).
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] force70:
thats the problem there really just are not any decent alternatives at least for me, there is nothing else which can match this device in asthetics or functionality. anything I replace it with will be lacking in one are or another.

Of the ones you listed none are acceptable but the V20 is closest and does have the advantage of a removable battery but its just too ugly and despite having the same size screen is much larger.

and no device has the Spen which for many of us lonf time note owners is a problem, I have had notes since the Note 2..the Spen is just something that is part of my daily routine at this point.

for note n00bs losing the Spen may not be an issue as it never really had enough time to get heavily involved in their lives

thankfully i have OTAs blocked and having an IMEI fixed is easy enough.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
My old phone is the Note 4. I really enjoyed it after I put CyanogenMod on it. The Note 7 is nice, but for me, the IR blaster and removable battery are just too important. And since I put my phone in a protective case, aesthetics don't do me much good :p

It's a bigger phone because it doesn't have a curved display, and has the second screen. Otherwise, it'd be a lot smaller physically.

For the sake of you determined Note 7 owners, I hope Samsung makes an amazing S8, or an early Note 8/7S.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] phia:
Well voluntarily I'm not bringing my phone back so it's my choice and if it blows up that's my fault. So I'm honestly not worried. It's nice that Samsung is worried for us but I'm OK. It's my choice if something happens it's my fault. I take full responsibility.

How do you fix the IMEI? Thank you please tell me LOL
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Zacharee1:
I'm glad you're willing to take responsibility. I've heard too many stories about people not listening to instructions, something going wrong, and the person blaming the dev or company.

I don't know if people are allowed to talk about IMEI changes on XDA, since it's illegal to do in most places.

So I just got an update from T-Mobile. I called them myself and I asked straight up. They said they're not doing any blocking at all with the IMEI . Is just that update so you will not charge your phone at all. And there's a repair for the updates. I have another app if the current APP anyone is using to block updates doesn't work. So I'm not freaking out anymore lol

First of all, there have been no "explosions" of Note 7s - although a few have caught fire and some have burned vigorously. However, many MORE iPhones have caught fire - and several on airplanes in the air. Only a single Note 7 was ever reported to have caught fire on a plane - while it was still at the gate.
