Received my v2 Note. I'm about to root again with this method, but just checking that after root, I won't get the T-Mobile notification to update? Or will I still need to quickly scramble to install a Package Disabler app afterwards too?

I believe jovy23's ROM install process blocks the notification to update due to modified firmware. I'm hoping this method does the same?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ted77usa:
U are out of luck bud..... v2 came with PI4 firmware and can't be root atm or downgrade.

once you root it blocks it because of root.

and my phone did not come with pi4, it came with pgc although after initial setup it rebooted and forced the update. mine may very well have been one they tested and ignored the update on 3 times so it was a forced update. i don't know. just be careful to avoid it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MinimalistChris:
I see. I still haven't turned on my replacement out of fear of the forced update.

If I were to turn it on and verify it still has PGC on it, I should be in the safe zone with the original root method and have no update messages?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KOLIOSIS:
I'm on a new Note7 w/the original firmware/etc.....

Wouldn't turning off data/WI-FI block any updates?

I just started myself & haven't logged-in to anything,no WI-FI,no SIM Card installed.

Got Dev Options/OEM Unlock & USB De-Bugging enabled.

Unless there's something special hidden,I don't see a way of having the update pushed.

If I'm missing something,by all means,please enlighten me,I don't want a brick/etc.. anymore than the next guy..............
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
just take your sim out. it won't have anyway to d/l anything so you should be fine, root it then put in your sim. simple enuff, once rooted it will fail to d/l any updates because your system is modified.

unfortunately no, you can ignore the update 3 times or supposedly ignore it 3 times. and then it just does it. basically you can install package disabler pro and disable anything to do with updates, should be 3 packages. or just root phone and not worry about it.

oem unlock is nothing more then the option to use your phone on another carrier and usb debugging is required for this method so that is fine.

in my case the update was already on my phone and was forced. i had no choice so. if you can avoid it i would suggest you do. were hard at work trying to get pi4 rooted but it's gonna take time. not like we don't have plenty of that anyway so.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TechBSwift:
can anyone help me out, when i do step 8 it's copies the files over correct but then i get the kernel panic error?? after that I have to manually reboot into recovery, I flash and follow the rest of commands correctly, but after CP and BL I'm stuck on the Galaxy Note screen. Am I supposed to see the kernel panic error? I'm on the original firmware I didn't upgrader
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KOLIOSIS:
I haven't seen any update prompt,trying to avoid it like the plague,that's why I haven't connected to any data/WI-FI,nada,I'm rooting straight out of the box,charging to !00% as we speak,should be there in a few minutes.

I'll keep everyone here posted.

I was considering waiting a while to get the replacement,but,this exact scenario compelled me to get a device & root before the new update is pre-installed on the phone & SOL until further development.

Package Disabler Pro is a good tool to use otherwise,but,we all here like the root,especially for better Ad Blocking.............
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MinimalistChris:
Thanks for the reply. I'll root the phone tomorrow when my mind is clearer... it's getting pretty late.

The first time was a breeze and I'm glad to know the second time should go just as smooth.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
we all root for different reasons. i never cared about ad blocking as i don't browse the web on my phone. i personally root to move the clock to the center, and even out everything on the statusbar. it all being jammed to one side drives me nuts. a few audio enhancers as well as a speaker boost. and maybe debloat all the google, samsung and t-mo junk out of it. but i can do this with package disabler pro to so root not really needed for this. other then that i really don't need root.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
if your seeing a kernel panic error you did something wrong. kernel panic means you broke root. start over. and don't skip a step
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KOLIOSIS:
I wholeheartedly agree,Package Disabler Pro is an awesome tool. :good:

I'm surprised I haven't been accused of being a paid spokesperson for it,I recommend it to just about everyone.

True,we all root for various reasons,just a blind assumption everyone uses a root Ad Blocker............... :o
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
a root ad blocker is nice but there is a non root alternative that works just as well. i can't think of the name of it now but i tryed it and it blocked what i needed it to.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KOLIOSIS:
I'm using BLOCK THIS on my Note4,works quite well,gives me the fewest headaches of the non-root blockers.

https://block-this.com/

BTW,So far,so good on the root,ODIN'ed the 1st part,waiting for boot to finish (the Samsung logo is pulsing as we speak).

Had to do it twice,1st attempt failed,not an uncommon occurance.

EDIT/UPDATE:

Success on a new/replacement Note 7,many thanks to [MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION] & everyone else who made this possible. :good:

FWIW,my phone was mfg'd on 9/3/16 & has the original firmware listed on the box label (& Hardware Revision 0.7),something for others to check out when picking up their replacement devices.

By all means necessary,do not allow the CSR's to touch/turn on your phone,take it home unactivated/disconnected from any data whatsoever to avoid getting the update pushed to your phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TechBSwift:
Do you think it's my 128gb sd card? I don't have anything installed on it other the required files. But I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any step, and still got kernel panic error. I'm running PH1 verizon. I know I was dumb and copied in the extra verbiage, but that didn't impact cmd. I was rushing so I can show you.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] PhilPan:
That is exactly why I root... The status bar drives me insane.. I wish Samsung would just make a way to tweak it a bit, then I would never root.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KOLIOSIS:
Coincidentally,someone pointed out this status bar modifier app to me yesterday,that works w/o root:

[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] PhilPan:
Does it center clock?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
just tryed it. works for centering clock but why on earth would i want wifi and data signal in the center. i want them on the left to even things out. so although it works. it doesn't do what i want.

OK folks, Please do not flood these threads with "Is there gonna be a Root Method for the new update" "Can we just revert back to the old firmware".

We are currently looking into rooting the new PI4 Firmware. There are alot of people trying to figure something out. So please just wait patiently for someone to post a new root method.

As of right now there is no way to revert back from PI4 to PGC. The new firmware trips a fuse in the phone and will not allow an older firmware to be odined or flashed..

If you really need to post and asks questions, or vent about about the new firmware, there are many other threads in the help and general discussion section..

:-/ so maybe not pre-installed, but was auto updated for sure

ok, thanks!

my apologies, i failed to follow the golden rule: SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH!!

Once i got home, i did the root process , and now i am rooted

People if you are getting your replacements, make sure you don;t have the green battery ( I didn't)..had white. If you have white. make sure you check your phone because it will start updating without you knowing

Youtube it, a guy is using this exact steps to root his verizon phone. I used that video and these exact steps to root my v2 note 7. Make sure not to connect to wifi when exchanged. I had my sim and sd card installed, rooted mines & wife phone. No issues what so ever. We are getting an error notification about "unauthorized action" what ever that means, believe is knox related though. Best way to open command menu is by shift + right click & choose open command from this window. Gotta go to c drive and look for the ADB folder and open it first. Good luck brother

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

The notification will disappear afterwards (did with mines & wife) I used titanium backup to freeze the software update. Once you install the sprint fw it'll wipe everything so the update if it downloaded it'll get erased, just disable update 1st before connecting to wifi & used titanium backup to delete or freeze the software update (x2) good luck bro hope it helps.

I have root, no issues what so ever. I did not installed nor flashed anything after gaining root. All apps updated fine but shealth breaks but we known about that. Hope that gets fixed sometime later on. I havent installed any of the flash mods yet so my phone works flawlessly atm no reboots, no nothing except for an error message about "security notice" but i think thats cause of knox and being rooted.
