Soon as my v2 comes in, I'm downloading the package disabler app first and blocking updates

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

I'm not losing my only chance at root with this phone.. why would they revert back to the jelly bean battery color...like wtf

OP care to explain how you updated to the V2 update on a V1 device ? e

MOD EDIT:

Please do not quote the whole OP when posting.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
The API4 update is available to V1 phones. I took it, knowing I'd be getting a new phone in a couple of days.

As I understand it, they'll make you take it one way or the other.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] OvrDriVE:
i can confirm do not update your v2 note 7 to the new firmware. you cannot downgrade and they have blocked the sprint userdebug firmware from even flashing.

if you want to keep root. don't do it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twe90kid:
wht are the chances that the update comes straight from the box..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] 215Aphillyated:
It does bro....i got mines today and it automatically started down loading...i just asked this question to [MENTION=4454815]jovy23[/MENTION] in another thread
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
Yep, mine installed right out of the box. what a bunch of a-holes. wifes did the same thing, no root now :( welp, perhaps its time to return it and buy a different phone. this is retarded.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twe90kid:
what about restocking fee?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
why would I worry about that? tmobile owes me so many credits at this point I should have credit enough to cover my next bill
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Saw someone mention it, and will try the same, but boot without sim card and wifif then disable the update app.....root then add sim.

Hopefully that will work cause I need my root. Dammit Samsung how dare you "burn" us again !!!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twe90kid:
as long as the phones don't come preinstalled then it's fine.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Boomiez:
Well... I just updated to API4 intentionally, to try out the new update on my v1 device. I gotta say it's much more snappier now and lag is completely gone after it fully boots everything. But it's still not worth losing root over. So I'm either gonna get a refund or buy the international version, better yet might just say goodbye to sammy all together.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] -viperboy-:
I don't know why anyone is still surprised about non-Nexus devices being locked down. Sure, a device might get root access, but it's the OEMs job to fix it in future builds because it's an exploit that needs to be fixed.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] drum747:
My update downloaded but I disabled, anyone know where the update file is? What folder? I can't find it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ce3jay:
the update ran as soon as it connected to their wifi network to set up the phone. crap, can't root now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] shojus:
Same here, it downloads on its own but it can be postponed up to 3 times before it automatically installs the update, so what do I have to disable so the update won't install, or where can i find the update and delete that sob? Any info would be much appreciated as I don't have access to a computer to root or have the time at this very moment.

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

What exactly did u disable?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
You can go into settings and turn off auto updates, or download package disabler from the play store and disable the 2 software updates lines. I still have a v1 phone and no update here because of that
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Darriousx:
It's really difficult because this update fixed countless issues I was having with lag, faster fingerprint, etc. However, I really loved root.... So sad :crying:
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chr0nicDreamz:
I'm in the same boat bro. Mine auto updated out of the box. Same as my wife's.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
I'm going to keep root for now, hopefully someone puts out a safe flashable update. I know this is stupid but I'm kinda pissed about the green battery icon again. I know why they did it and understand but its so ugly and doesnt jive. I hated it on JB and I hate it now.

Hey [MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION] why are you guys so loyal to Samsung? Why not get a v20 and bring your magic over there. I'm sure a ton of people will follow. My self included. Bring [MENTION=4454815]jovy23[/MENTION] with you

Got my new safe N7. Sure enough, as soon as I inserted the SIM, it started to download the update. I caught it in time though. Disabled system update with Package Disabler Pro. I've still got this damned persistent notification on my settings App. Anyone know how to Clear this, and where the partially downloaded update is so i can kill it?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] -BoneZ-:
I had already knew about and disabled the update for my V1, so I made sure when the SIM card was put into my V2 that the update was paused immediately. And once I got home, disabled the updates via Package Disabler Pro. Not going to lose my chance to root.

Also, my V2 is much smoother and snappier, even without the new update. Very happy with V2 at the moment.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
FYI guys, don't insert or let the rep insert the sim into your phone. Keep it out till you run the root process to be safe.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] black96ss:
Do a factory reset without your Sim and WiFi, don't log into any of your accounts through set up wizard, pop Sim in, go to play store and quickly get package disabler, freeze both software updates. Then you'll be good.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] thefoss:
Unfortunately, that didn't work. I popped my SIM in and immediately signed in to the Play Store, But by the Package Disabler Pro time installed and activated, the damn Update download had started. I paused it and disabled the Update Packages, but still left with the notification.

Found a workaround: Convert your Package Disabler Pro app from the Play Store into a sideloadable .apk

1. Go to Play Store and install Astro File Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro

2. Under the Tools tab,select App Manager. Find Package Disabler Pro. Backup.

3.There will now be a folder on your devices labeled "backups". Open the folder, open the "apps" folder within. You will see com.ospolicepackagedisablerpro.apk , copy this to your external SD Card.

4. Factory Reset (I know, it sucks) and remove your SIM card, but leave your SD card in.

5. Blow through Set Up wizard without signing in to Wi-Fi or any accounts.

6. Enable Unknown Sources in Lock Screen and Security Settings

7. Use the pre-installed Samsung File Manager to navigate to your SD Card where you put the .apk

8. Install, open, grant administrator, NOW sign in to Wi-Fi to activate the app. Still NO SIM CARD.

9. Once activated, search "update" and you'll see 2 entries. Disable both .

10. NOW pop in your SIM and sign in to your accounts. Profit.

I'm sure there are simpler ways, but this is what worked for me. Cheers!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] VICosPhi:
Samsung really wants to lose their loyal customers. Idiots patched the root on new update and this is after the embarassing battery flaw. I skipped S7 edge due to locked bootloader, Note7 has the same issue but at least the root doesn't cause all those overheating and lagging issues like S7.

Now I am wondering if it is worth the trouble to switch to v2 Note7 hoping it has old rootable firmware and then HOPE that the genius devs here will find a method to root the new firmware.

Then Nougat will bring its own sets of rooting issues...

Really want to get international unlocked bootloader version but T-mobile's proprietary VOLTE and WI-Fi calling, rich texting doesn't work with that version....
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Damnit! The phone started updating as soon as I got it. Didn't even think about it ruining the exploit. UGH!! I'm sure you've tried this but factory data reset doesn't wipe the update? Wonder if that'd get it working. [MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] thanks for all you do. I guess I'm waiting

Don't let TMo reps update when you exchange, they tried it on mine, but I told them the update made my phone really laggy.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nihonno:
Why is everyone sad about their devices forcing the download of this update??? I don't understand it because you would have to boot all the way into the setup, have data (WiFi) and your Sim Card installed... but all things considered, if you're planning to root the device, why boot up at all?!?!

When I got my replacement, my FIRST power on was to go STRAIGHT into Download mode. Why are any of you going through the trouble of booting up in the first place? When you unbox your phone, just follow Jovy's instructions and go STRAIGHT to download mode on your first power on. Worked for me just fine.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Darriousx:
I just was thinking about root and it made me so sad that it's no longer an option of you did the update. I updated before I checked this... I'm just reminiscing of the good ole days
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] MorePAIN:
Just a matter of time. The S7 root method took forever. Just when things got started NOTE 7 hit. Hopefully not too long of a wait.

Had a feeling this might happen, so never let new phone even boot. as soon as i opened the box, i went into dl mode and odined the sprint software. completed setup and now found that the phone will NEVER update. because it was modified illegally. I still have root.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Yes the update is positive. Yes it brings enhancements. Yes you can work around the green battery with Good Lock and Nova Prime. However I have a problem with someone telling me I can't change my device! Waiting patiently.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Boomiez:
I was straight up with my rep. Told him not to power on the v2, because sammy patch the root and that I would activate it myself when I get home. He was cool about it and never even touched the thing. When I got home I went straight to download mode and started rooting. :)

I have a Samsung galaxy s2 with broken power button.

I installed app which turns on the screen with volume buttons. And other icon to list of quick buttons on the bottom of home screen to turn off the screen. I have and notification in notification bar. ... just tap and screen is off.

Now. There is boot procedure without the need of power button.

You put micro usb cable. Wait. You get it out of phone. Immediately get battery out and return it inside back. Done. Phone power on.

I have android 4.1.2

I want to modify this boot procedure. This result is liked: when phone is powered off. .... I just connect usb cable and phone power on and after a minute I to can use it.

I want to bypass the moment when you get the battery out of the phone.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

For the brief time I had my Note 7 I appreciated the heightened security of the Secure Folder on the Note 7. I really liked being able to place my banking and finance apps in a place not as easily reached on my phone.

Is there any rumor that Samsung will add this feature to the upcoming Nougat release for the Note 5? If not, is there an app that accomplishes a similar result.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
I'm searching for app to simplify changing from home carrier to local roaming. Basically it can be shortcut or some app to bypass searching for networks everytime I want to change. Something like this: when I'm in place where Virgin Mobile has best coverage I'm using Virgin but when it's T-Mobile I'm changing to T-Mobile. I know it should be done automatically but it's not and when I'm in my workplace I have max 3 bars 2G signal in my home carrier and when I change to T-Mobile local roaming I also have 2-3 bars but 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] adbit:
Hi,

I'm new here, so I won't be surprised if I'm forgetting something obvious.

I can get the following setup working smoothly:

S7 Rooted with SuperSU and TWRP 3.0.2-3 and no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1 installed

King ROM v12 installed

NetHunter chroot flashed

However, when I try to flash a new kernel using TWRP, I always get stuck on the boot screen... I have also updated my bootloader and moden, but I'm still getting the same results. Any clue on this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
When you flash a new kernel you will lose root and may lose no-verity.

That may lead you to getting into a bootloop. after flashing a new kernel reflash root and no verity that may solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] adbit:
Thanks for the answer. I have already tried this, but it's still getting into a bootloop.
[General Questions and Answers] Arpad75:
Hello All,

I want to improve the reception quality of the GPS in my mobile phone, i.e. increase its sensitivity to better its accuracy. (Now its accuracy is much worse than of my previous phone.)

I’ve found a solution for the exact same model that I have (Xiaomi Mi 4):

en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=173141&page=1#pid5841082

I have some questions for those who are well-versed in the topic and know that why and how a GPS antenna works really good.

Does the following characteristics of the cable that I would use matter?

•	How long it is (exactly)

•	It is twisted or just one thread

•	It is thick or thin

•	I fasten it in a straight line or in a curly manner

•	I fold it a few times so as to make it thicker; or rather leave its original thickness and leave it one thread

•	I use a lapped wire or a bare wire?

Thanks for your help.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.3bood:
Hello..

We all know that there is a way to get root on the OPX

using the kingroot app without a custom recovery.

But the question is : is it possible to flash TWRP.img through

the terminal emulator? And if it possible, What are the commands ?

Thank you..
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jude Aranha:
I'm not completely sure, but try this..

Do a backup just in-case. :p

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Here, su is for superuser right and the next command flashes the recovery.

Note that "/sdcard/recovery.img" means that your recovery.img file should be in the root of your Internal storage and should be renamed to "recovery" without quotes.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kéno40:
Kingroot is a "bad" way to root.

IMHO, you should stick on the normal way.

Be sure your BL is correctly unlocked.

Then if your root, you can flash TWRP via an "rashr app"
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper20:
We king root is a bad way to root? So many times I have tried in many phone's it produces the same result as supersu, and after all i never stick with it. I always replace it with supersu at the end.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kéno40:
I just mean here, because some people gave tutos to easily root without unlocking BKL. Some use them, and after stay stucked trying to flash something.

And Kinroot is a software that try to install you a bunch of crap when you use it...

I made it for the S6 flat though but I think they're compatible but idk
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickles523:
Are you trying to install the same version from the s6 because each version of the s6/edge variants have different kernals. You need to figure out what is with tour current lernal to make it work for the edge varient. Also you need to make sure you alter the zip to allow installation on a different model of phone.

Hi everyone!

I'm quite new to this forum, but i found it online and found it very helpfull.

I work at a phone retailer in sweden, and recently got my hands on a Sony z5 Premium Demo unit for free.

It has no Imei or anything like that so i know that i won't be able to use a sim card on it. But i would like to reset it, so i don't have to close down the retail app every time.

I would like to use this as a multimedia device in my home.

Is it possible to reboot it so it's has the retail app uninstalled?

I've allready tried the *#*#sellmore#*#*, and i've also been in the Safe mode and done the reset there.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Can you explain the option to delay shutdown please? Screenshots?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] vnamee:
It's in the settings menu. I'll post a screen shot when I can. I set mine for 30 minutes. It definitely helps when I make short stops. When I turn the power/unit back on, the unit starts back up where it was on previously. It's similar to putting it to sleep I guess. I haven't timed it, but I assume after 30 minutes, it will do a full shut down. So if the unit is off longer than that, you will have to do a full boot after you restart it.
