Root to with custom rom fixes 60%?

Im using N930W8 the canadian variant of the note 7. I just recieved the 60% update while phone auto update disabled sitting on my desk. I need to know if there is a method to root the canadian variant and if it will fix the problem of the battery cap if I run a custom ROM. I've been hearing about it the Sprint root method working but I wasn't sure. Thanks for your help!

Note 7 Problem - please help if you can, please
Hello
I am newbie here with no proper experience [ I flashed mobile with success once but it was years ago with NOKIA e90!]
I have Note 7 exynos UK VODAFONE and I did flashed it with older OEM firmware [ to bring it back to 100% battery], I downloaded from sammobile than recent one on my mobile [ limited 60% battery]
I unchecked re-partition
I used AP file there
all went fine with ODIN v3.11.1 all pass !
but once mobile started I have big message on my screen which does not disappear [ see attached photo]
unfortunately, the process
com.android.phone stopped
I can click/press OK on screen below that message, but it reappears again and again
I tried to flash it again but now ODIN says fail and something about PIT [see attached photo]
I would appreciate some help or tell me what steps I should take [ apart of surrendering phone to place I bought it from!!!]
regards
M.

Finally find away to get my phone back to 100% Battery charge.
You don't nedd root and also not need new Kernel.
Just need the new version of Odin and the original Note 7 initial Stock Rom.:victory:

I am also trying to do the same - without any sucess. Could you advise from which version you downgraded to which one ? A small gude will be highly appreciated

So any one have a solution to this thread ?

Odin 3.12.3
Please share the link of ROM you flashed.

any advice for somebody who's never rooted a device before? I'd rather not brick my Sprint N7, but i'd do almost anything to get rid of this stupid 60% thing.

I think I just found the reason why you got downgraded to previous firmware, it is because in Korea they are using same bootloader for all updates. I have SM-N930FD and they have different bootloader for previous and updated firmware.
Thank you for your help.

How you find it out i am curious

I have attached previous and latest korean firm ware and UAE previous and latest firmware.
I highlighted the difference. Korean firmware using same 1BP bootloader/ security patch in every korean firmware but in UAE Firmware oldest have 1BP bootloader/security patch and latest firmware have 2BP bootloader/ security patch so once you are updated to 2BP you can not down grade to 1BP but if you are at 1BP you can Install 1BP or upgrade to 2BP.
I have SM-N930FD and upgraded to 2BP so i am unable to downgrade 1BP patch firmware.
I am not good in explaining but hope you will understand what i am trying to say.LOL.

Yes 100% i do understand what you trying to say.
I thought is same for all Note 7

So is it just luck that samsung has not change the bootloader in Korean Note 7 or is there purpose behind lol

Yes root is possible. Check out partcyborgs rom or jrkruse roms.

Is that a Verizon rom

If your flashing the root ROM it will fail, it states that in the thread. Read all the steps in the ROM post ad they are very specific

I just rooted my 8+ thanks to Rootjunky.com from one of his videos on youtube, I'm still on Verizon and I didn't have to flash any ROM, just some files and boom.

Does anybody know if Xposed works..

Once rooted,has anyone tried unrooting for warranty reasons?

The PartCyborg rom comes with Xposed pre-installed. It is working fine for me, but I am not using too many modules. Good reports on Partcyborg's ROM thread though.
Yes, you can unroot and flash back to stock.

You need prince comsy ODIN.
Look here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702
Follow the instructions in the first post of the thread. Follow them verbatim. Read carefully before you start.
Use the BQL1 downloads in the second post of the thread.
This is what I did and it worked fine. I flashed both in COMSY ODIN. I did not use the Flashfire method, but I have used it before and it also works. If you do use Flashfire for the AP file (First file) be sure to flash the bootloader (second file) in COMSY ODIN..

I recommend that you use the downloads in the second post, not the third. The bootloop edition is an older version. The latest works better. The latest that ends with BQL1 is compatible with your phone because both are based on bootloader version 2.
If you want to have a backup of your stock firmware you can download the BRB1 firmware from updato or from samsung. I find updato to provide much faster downloads, but sometimes it is a bit strange finding the firmware you want. You can usually search by phone and service provider.

That's all I need to flash? I have Odin downloaded and on standby just waiting to figure out my USB thing.

I'm upgrading to Oreo

Did any one tried flashing Indian firmware in Australia or other variant models?

Hi , as the topic says, did any tried Indian firmware in another country variant through Odin?

Yes I did.
EU version to the India version.
After that the device was unable to check for an update.
So, now on EU version again, just got the latest update.
Have a good day.

When I tried to flash Indian firmware in Australian variant , it stops at the partition failed.
I even tried to extract the pit file and flashed along with pit. But no luck .
Did u came across this??

Will NFC still work? EU version and Australian version has NFC but Indian has no NFC.

I have A505F/DS, can I install indian firmware??

You can install the software from any country as long as your devices model number is the same.
You can also flash the software from other A50 model numbers however some features may not work.

Dongrade to android pie ?

Hello,
Is it possible to downgrade a note 10 plus from android Q to android pie?
If yes, how can I do that ?
Thanks

Yes as long as bootloader is the same as the Pie your downgrading to. Download the firmware, extract it, use patched Odin to flash it. You can get the firmware for whatever model you have from Frija

hi @butchieboy
Why would you need a patched Odin as opposed to a non-patched one? What are the advantages and limitations?

I downgraded successfully without a patched Odin and the pie and 10 bootloaders are the same in USA at least. Simple Odin flash and was back to lovely Pie in no time!
