[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
you are correct. shealth works fine. just don't update it

i honestly couldn't say atm. for now this works so enjoy it for the time being until samsung screws us again

as far as any issues. i have had this up and running for 24 hours now. i have rebooted. shut my phone off. turned on wifi calling, disabled it and set it to use cell only and then reenabled it just fine. made calls via wifi calling and normal 4glte(of which my lte drops to 4g. has never worked even on my n4. i live in a dead spot) and worked perfect everytime, bluetooth issue has also been fixed. volte should work if your in the right spot. it was tested by galaxyuser88 and he showed working screenshots. as long as you adhere to my notes and don't do what i mention you should have absolutely no issues with this at all. just follow the install instructions to the letter to avoid issues. and enjoy it when done. i am also not sure about xposed atm as i have not tested it. it may break this. you will have to try for yourself and see.

anyway,

if xposed works post the method you used so others can try as well

Just wanted to step in and say thank you to all those who have been working on this.

Having read through every page so far, it's nice to see that the thread is staying on topic for the most part.

[MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION], if we ever get an unlocked bootloader achieved on the TM Note 7, somehow someway, I foresee you making a killer ROM for this....wishful thinking some might say, but we've seen miracles happen before. This isn't our first scare around the rodeo with obstacles....

Devs and alike, you guys are amazing. Thanks a Million!

upgraded everything root is still working ;)
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] PhilPan:
With the mods file, does it allow u to center clock?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ice5192:
I know ypu can have xposed installed so im going to say yes...
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] raynol:
you can make a video or something visual but i read the instructions do everything but no show the folder and say not find . i try 3 times today
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] PhilPan:
Just went ahead and did this. Although directions seem daunting, it's pretty straightforward. So far everything working great. Apps are installing, so we will see after I get everything up and running.

I thought in the mod pack i seen Center clock..was it in the older one?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 215Aphillyated:
Not sure what I am doing wrong...and i I can't see tbe copied files on my stuff card neither and can some one confirm for me where the userdebug tar file slot in odin?because I hace tried them both....im beside myself with what I could be missing...not a rookie at this but I'm feeling like one. Lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
yes my mods adds potato clock with the ability to set the position of the clock to the left center or right side(downside of this, you will need to set it color to something visible on a white or dark background or the clock will disappear on a white background because of it color) there is a mod to fix this. however it is very extensive and as this is just a few basic mods wasn't done

you can try this, create a folder on your extsdcard(i'm refering to the one you inserted in your phone(you wouldn't believe the number of people who can't figure this out)) call it say file, now copy the system.img and bbx files into it, now because the files are in a different place we need to change a few things to reflect the new path. so the following changes will need to be made to the instructions. and if this works i will update the OP.

everything is exactly the same with exception to these changes

step 5f. would be the same but now look in the file folder

step 5g. would change to cp /sdcard/file/bbx /sbin/bbx

step 5l would change to /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/file/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system

everything else remains the same

let me know if this works. if it does i will update OP with these changes for those having issues not being able to see the files.

as far as the sprint tar file goes. since it is the entire firmware in a single file and not like the stock t-mo files where we have seperate tars. you need to add it by clicking on ap and waiting for it to be added then you can click start.

Is still an issue with the Bluetooth or has that been patched? Thanks

Lost 4g and Lte....only can connect on wifi....

I flashed the mods file..not sure if i had it before then or not.

Update...after I deleted lookout, it seemes to come back. I am now getting a security notice, unauthorized actions have been detected. In my notifications. How do I get rid of it?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cfox88:
I've not gotten this route to work yet either! I'm trying a few things and I'll report back when I find a fix. But I will find a fix for is one way or another!

So this can't be done with a external sd card?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ted77usa:
As of right now not yet.... we tried.

The guide is really easy to follow as long as u have your adb set up correctly .... meaning all the driver are installed correctly..... copy and paste the adb commands I think it also help you to avoid missing some commands..... post your screenshots while you doing the root method.... I'm sure most people in here that already achieved root won't mind to help this great community.

Btw with this new root method..... xposed not yet compatible.... [MENTION=3364603]galaxyuser88[/MENTION] been working on it..... systemui.apk FC'ed after install xposed.... but with old method it work perfectly.

Screenshots would help us to help you ....

[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 2015Dthomp1:
Yes the guide is very simple, I think my problem starts at the beginning with having my adb set correctly or extracting my files in the correct folder WITH adb. I don't think I'm extracting my files where my adb is bcuz I'm not really sure I'm doing that part correctly. Every time I get to part where I type in su, it says setgid or permission denied even tho Im sure I followed everything correctly. That's why I'm willing to pay for a visual and I'm sure it would help a lot of people out as well. MONEY TALKS! LOL
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TEKHD:
Simply freeze "SecurityLogAgent"
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] AstonsAndroid:
Thank you for the reply, I will not worry about DE-Knox.

Anyone else experiencing the random vibrations, I flashed the Nexus Launcher and set as default; the vibrations stopped.

In addition, anyone using Gear can just un-pair and repair through the Bluetooth Manager after rebooting your phone. No need to reset Gear every time.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
yes. everything works.

don't forget the . at the beginning of this command

using root explorer, navigate to /system/app and scroll down to securitylogagent and delete the folder. and reboot

if your getting a setgid error msg you messed up. this is very easy to do. but requires specific actions to be taken at specific points. thats why i state, read the entire post. then read it again, and after that read it one more time for good measure. follow each step as outlined and you should have no issues

and yes. a video tutorial would be helpful. i have asked for anyone that has done this to post the video link and i will add it to the OP
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ted77usa:
Setgid failed meaning you don't have su root privilege.... u need to go back to download mode then odin sprint userdebug again.... and start the process over

I will definitely read again and again as I did before but I really don't think I'm extracting my folders in the right place or either my adb is not setup correctly, as I am honestly new to doing this the adb way. But I will take your advice and read thoroughly again and give it another shot. Thanks for responding back!
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
that could be caused by apps that don't want to play nice with root(samsung implimented a ton of security checks for even the basic stock apps). these basic apps have been removed via the debloat file and i have not had any vibrations since running it. i didn't not run this fully stock either. i debloated it right after i was done with the initial setup.

on a side note i do include steps on how to edit the debloat file to keep stuff you want. it isn't hard and can be done by anyone. you just need to remove or comment out the line with the app you want to keep. by commenting it out i mean simply add # to the beginning of any line in the file. in the file itself if you do not know what an app is based on it's name simply leave it alone.

the lines you can comment out or remove completely look like this

example

delete_recursive("/system/app/youtube");

obviously by the name you can be assured that this is the youtube app. if you want to keep it simply remove that entire line and save the file. or just comment it out so it looks like this.

#delete_recursive("/system/app/youtube");

thats it. save file and flash it via flashfire after you have made your changes.

really simple to do and gives you guys a little control over what is removed as bloat
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ted77usa:
Hold shift and right click on your adb folder then open command windows here.... that way for sure u are in the correct adb path. For me that's the best way to execute your adb command.... and make sure u have sun7.zip file extracted on the same adb folder with sun7 folder name..... for you to gain permanent root in the end of the process.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 2015Dthomp1:

The system.Img and bbx files not showing up for some people is not an SD card issue. I've tried 5 SD cards and same issue, even tried a USB otg and still a no go. Gotta be certain phones aren't allowing the two files to show up. Really weird! All other files show up. Just not those two files!
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] carandcar:

I did that and also gave me error, let me know what you figure out

edit: downloaded Rar from the playstore and it worked
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ted77usa:
Try different sdcard.... i noticed if u use samsung 256gb promotion gift sdcard it no problem transferring large file.... I believed like [MENTION=3543495]m0r[/MENTION]ningstar said it limited to 4gb but there is alot of options to transfer your file... format your sdcard to exfat but make sure u make back up for your sdcard....use sdcard reader.... or use 7zip to extract your file into sdcard..... I personally download the file from my phone..... then use rootbrowser.apk to extract the file ..... then I used samsung my file to move the extracted file i to my sdcard.

And for those people that having issue when in the recovery that when u apply update via sdcard didn't show your syatem.img and bbx file.... u need to take your sdcard out while u still in the recovery.....power off ..... but u need to go back to recovery right away by using combo button....vol up+home+power.... and then start all the commands again from the beginning.

Followed the steps, everything worked out, wifi calling, volte, s health, debloat/deknox, etc.

However, the Bluetooth pairing issue is still present. Any idea which step in the procedure I might've done wrong? Is there a cheap fix for the Bluetooth issue with the new method?
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] louforgiveno:
Bluetooth is fine on my end....many reboots and it always reconnects to my Gear S. Maybe you over-debloated?

[MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION] I'm on Sprint looking to get BT working. Would this method work if the T-Mobile BL and AP were skipped?

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

Thanks
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
let me clarify something. i don't recall ever saying we didn't take donations. i do recall saying they were not required or that we will never ask for them. i was also asked who they should donate to specifically(as this was a team effort) and i do believe my answer was to whichever of us you wish.

so. there is myself and 5 others mentioned. i have a donate link under my name on xda, i am sure the rest that are mentioned have very simalar if not the same type of link under theres. you can donate or not donate the choice is yours but plz don't assume that we don't take donations. and just to clarify. i did not do this to get donations. i did it because i wanted root on t-mo so everything worked.

i don't see why you couldn't do this to the official sprint base using the same method and modifying the files with the sprint files. however this as it is would literally give you the t-mo firmware without the modem and bl. so as it is now. no it would not. modified yes it would
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] PhilPan:
My fault man.. I meant no disrespect. I just thought I remembered u saying that, and didnt look back to clarify or anything. It's early here, and I was just spit balling... None the less great work, I'll send u guys something later today.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] kbtoy:
Thanks Devs for the hard work and all this. Been working great so far. Been rooted since last night. Only issues I ran into was my Wi-Fi not sticking, when I would connect to a network it would forget that network every time I rebooted my phone and I would have to reinput the password. It did end up working itself out once I flashed the mod file and don't have issue anymore.

Only other thing i can't figure out is how to get viper or Dolby to work with my music app. Maybe someone can suggest one. To clarify they won't work through the speaker on phone. Sounds from other apps will work,like when I am playing a game or notification but can't get either of them to work With a music app I've tried yet. Tried Samsung's music app and Stellio.

Just wanted to add that I tried using headphones and am unable to get viper or Dolby working still. Gonna try beats and see what happens
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
make sure you have installed the selinuxmode changer apk and set it to permissive or viper won't work period.

as far as sound goes from the phone speaker. i have a really hard time telling the difference with viper, dolby or beats even changing the overall sound through the external speaker. however it is 100% obvious that they do indeed work if you have a headset on, i can even hear the difference through my stereo and my bt speaker as i have tested to make sure. so. just my personal experience with the external speaker which sucks btw.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nihonno:
I had issues with getting the provided viper version to work as well. I went ahead and flashed the AryaMod and it worked perfectly.AryaMod includes all three in a nice interface. Try that. Might work.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
np. i just needed to clarify that. donations are always greatly appreciated and always will be. but they are not required.
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] OvrDriVE:
yeah i have had some who used it say it works and others say it doesn't. i can't explain it. since phones are not created equal by any means anything is possible. but hey if that worked for ya great. do what ya gotta do to enjoy this firetrap waiting to happen. lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Nihonno:
Right... It's a damn shame that I look at the phone and think our days are severely numbered. Can't even fly with my phone. lol.

Thing is... After the recall has been implemented, how are all these organizations banning the phone gonna know the difference between a swapped one and an original.
