Sprint Rom/Root on N930W8, does it actually work? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I havent read anything on anyone officially trying to load Sprints firmware on the W8 version and rooting, and wanted to see if anyone has done it.
I cant stand not having a rooted phone.
Is it safe to try, in the event that something messes up, I can revert with W8 firmware via Odin? Does the Sprint firmware erase partitions?

Go check the Canadian note 7 discussion. People are actively using the exploit as we speak.

[Q] Will Verizon S4 Mini Ever Have Odin Files, Custom Recovery?

I am wondering if I will ever be able to install a custom recovery on my Verizon S4 Mini (SCH-I435). I used Kingo to root, but I don't really want to mess with the phone too much, because if I screw it up, there is no coming back from it. Do we know if anybody is working on extracting the stock Odin image files for this model?
As much as I LOVE the S4 Mini, if this model can't be hacked more than just root, I may return it for the Moto X.
Thanks.

I have all the partitions extracted but have had no luck building a Oden file. Keep getting Fail with oden.
And signature verification errors in recovery.
Tried to build recovery, but its beyond what I know how to do.
I have a Rom ready, just waiting on recovery to test it.
I am fairly new to samsung, been on HTC's for years. Ive soft bricked my first mini, so I know how you feel.
I was ok with the mini til they blocked wifi tether hotspot in the VRUAMK5 update.
I'm willing to do whatever I can to get this device going. If not, gotta move on
It seems like its gonna be a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
the Verizon model i435 can do a recovery to factory through the Verizon upgrade and repair app if you ever need to go back to stock.
Any news/developments on this? I'm really hoping to get CWM recovery installed.
It's hard without having adb during boot or odin to see exactly where what i have is going wrong. thinking around the bootloader method is going to do it but how is my question now cause i keep getting kernel: fail crap from knox i believe
I froze, then deleted all things knox. Here's hoping that doesn't mess my noise up.
Any updates on recovery? Sorry if this bumps a dead thread.
Hate to dig up old threads. but i have been working on some development on this device, mostly putting it on Straighttalk.
I have 2 of the same phones that are both working on Straighttalk and AT&T.
Heres where im at right now:
Rooted.
Android 4.4.2
baseband I435VRUBNE1
BUILD # KOT49H.I435VRUBNE1
SE "ENFORCING"
Now i used THIS THREAD to install a recovery onto the device (3.75 BETA Version)
all i need is someone to develop the recovery for the mini instead of the note 3...
ANY HELP?

You successfully got a custom recovery on your SCH-I435 via the safestrap for note3? If that works plz let me know the details cause I have needed to get a custom recovery on my I435 forever now. Thanks

Anyone flashed the TW Lollipop ROM from Civz for the P-900 on their T-900?

I would normally just do it, but it says to flash Lollipop bootloader with oden before flashing the ROM. Never tried this before, so I was hoping someone else has been there and done that. I know all other P-900 ROMS run just fine on our T-900's and this one is probably the same.

Yep. It'll work. It works better if you flash the twrp for the Note Pro 12.2 onto your Tab Pro 12.2 first though, so flash the latest twrp https://dl.twrp.me/v1awifi/twrp-2.8.7.0-v1awifi.img.tar.html for the Note Pro on your Tab Pro 12.2 then flash whichever of the Note Pro rom's you want on your tablet. They work, I've done it many times before. If you have any issues then just flash the stock tar file for your Tab Pro 12.2 via Odin.
Enjoy

Yes I am on hyper drive now, but this Lollipop seems like it's a different animal. I tried several different ways to get it going with no luck. I tried the note TWRP and even tried to Oden the note stock rom. Have you found a way to get 5.0 TW on our "black sheep" T-900?
Jessooca said:
I have had it on mine for a good few weeks, however it took Linux, 2 stock tar files, the latest 4.4.2 from the T900 and the recent Tab S Lollipop update, and a whole lot of trial and error to get an official ported touchwiz version to boot without issues on the Sm-t900 and due to the high likelihood someone might do something wrong and screw something up, I chose not to share it. I had to contact no less than 5 of the most intelligent experts I knew of in Android and boot loaders, kernels, etc before i even flashed it to make sure what I did would work.
Mind you this was done several weeks ago and since then I have given out the tar file to others, not on XDA that I know or work with and none of them have had a single issue with it, that I know of.
I considered putting it up on here, however again I don't have the time to work out any errors, kinks or issues that people on here might have. I also know that OFFICIALLY Samsung will be releasing the 5.0.2 update to the SM-T900 very soon, July/August/September however it's been released already to another country.
So I figured everyone has already waited this long, why take the risk of sharing it with others that I cannot or will not the time to fix or work out any errors with it. IF you do want it, PM me and I"ll share you the link, but again it's all your own risk. I can only say that for me and my friends who I have given it to, Zero of them have mentioned any problems. I myself have no issues with it on my Sm-t900.

I have the same problem. My att note 4 is on Cricket wireless, and I haven't noticed any OTA when checking for updates. I've read on another post that att pulled the update and sent it back to fix the install issue some are having (among other issues). I really would like to try a manual Odin firmware update and see if it goes through... Please, if anyone could provide the files, that would be great. I'm tired of waiting with this annoying battery drainage issue with 5.0 - 5.01...

Just an FYI, I have a friend on Cricket. When Cricket was still using the old carrier (was it Verizon?), Cricket released its own updates. Usually a month or so after the main carrier.
That was when Cricket had its own phone models though. My friend had an S4 and it was a Cricket model number.

Yeah it failed for me to. I honestly don't know at this point. I'm not a dev. I know some things lol. I think there might be something wrong with the current firmware that is causing it to fail. This is the first I've seen this ever happen. I was trying to find the Odin files for 5.0.1 but I don't see them anywhere yet. That way we can odin flash current firmware again then try update. If that fails, we'll need to wait for the Odin files for 5.1.1.
Odin files for 5.1.1 will hopefully soon be up!

I 'll give the device to my wife and I will buy the note 5 of TMO . I think I'll have better opportunities.
thanks for your time my brother!
From what I 've seen the least bad brand is Samsung , because the other brands bring poor processors (MTK ) or are bad devices to develop OS cooked.
I tried this method and it works fine for me.

Canada N903W8 Note 7 - Cant custom recovery - Help Needed

Hi Guys,
I've just spent the last 8 hours trying to get an Canadian Note 7 to custom recovery and ROM with NO luck !
I've done a couple of Note 7s of UK spec but this is the first Note 7 from Canada, and so far i've had no luck at getting it to accept anything.
The handset has received the cripple code that has disabled wifi, blutooth, 4G, tethering and reduced the battery capacity to 15%
I have tried several files and different methods of loading in a custom recovery so i can then load a custom ROM.
The favorite is to use ODIN and then either load CWM or TWRP.
When trying to load either CWM or TWRP i get an "Auth Fail" or "QTQ Close" error
I tried to use the Sprint method to get into the system and allow a custom ROM and all this did was brick the phone... Its currently stuck in no boot state which just takes me into the standard android recovery with errors of "dirty targets", "check DRK files" and "dm-Verity verification failed"
At the moment i cant find a way to get the handset to load a custom recovery and then a rom, stock or custom.
If anyone can help with fixing This-POS Canadian Telus Note 7 Handset i would greatly appreciate it before i stamp on it and send it back to samsung !
cheers guys
The Canadian variant has a locked bootloader, so no custom recovery and no root. There are workarounds to get the older firmware back that doesn't cripple the phone. There are threads on here for that if you search around.

Correct, no root yet unless its first gen N7 with first firmware but im sure non around anymore.
Best bet is to find a firmware and downgrade to 100% battery. Then block all the packages to prevent future updates from samsung. If you IMEI was blocked then that is a whole different ball game in which Samsung is winning so far in Canada
Thanks for the info guys
I spent 9 hours in the end attacking this thing from all angles and just managed to corrupt it so it doesn't even boot now.
The Canadian phone companies and samsung have done a dam good job at taking these phones down or rendering them totally useless.

Do you have any recommendations on what i should use / try to rectify this

Nop... I'm on API3.
I'm using package disabler right now to avoid the OTA updates. I had a notification today that the update was downloading so I just turned off wifi and disabled almost everything under the sun (besides core services) relating to samsung and it no longer seems to be connecting to the update server which is what I want in the end.
Well the saga continues...
I managed to trick it into letting me sideload from ADB.... only problem is i couldn't find any files in .zip format to side load and those that i could it wouldn't accept.
I did manage to get a partial sucsess with odin and got a CP file to install properly... sadly it rejected the BL, AP and CSC files and now its really screwed things up as it just boot loops now and the android recovery kinda doesn't work now.
So any ideas on how to defeat this POS, i refuse to let Samsung Canada and the phone companies beat me, but i think i am fighting a losing battle...
Only half decent firmware files i could find were N930W8VLU1APH1_N930W8OYA1APH1_ESK
Ok really screwed it now ! GERRRRRR
Managed to get it to take a new Bootloader ! all completed in ODIN and the phone rebooted, started to load then crashed and now wont turn on at all - TOTALLY BRICKED !
but the strange thing is, when you plug it in windows still sees it, you would expect nothing to happen like if the phone were switched off completely, but Windows 7 sees it as a device and set up drivers for ELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)
very odd, and incredibly frustrating !

APH1 Note 7 Rogers with 15% update, no WiFi/Cellular
New user here. I've got an APH1 Note 7 first edition without the green battery icon on Rogers in Canada in the same situation - 15% battery, no WiFi, no cellular. I've tried a few package disablers but it seems all the free ones require WiFi to activate the product license (which I can't exactly do). It's failed every Odin flash attempt I've made, usually stopping at recovery.img or a couple of steps after that. I've tried flashing firmware from all US variants and multiple Canadian ones as well. Any ideas on how to recover the phone? It still boots (even though I semi-bricked it twice). I'm thinking that there might be some options through ADB - could anyone guide me on how to do that?

Your lucky man...original firmware means you can still root with the engineering firmware. That should kill any OTAs. Check out the development forum in the Tmo note 7 area.
In addition check out note7alliance.com they have a working disabler.
Is yours still working on the network? I had thought all note 7s here were blocked from cellular networks...mine is from rogers

Just like you, running on Rogers with no network connectivity.
Seems like the N7A package disabler requires WiFi to authenticate, so I can't use that method sadly.
Right now I'm trying to use a spare rooted phone to put a package disabler app onto my SD, to see if I can then run the app in the Note 7. It's one of the few options I have left, but I'll still try it, as I can't flash firmware without blocking updates.

I've got the Rogers APH3 firmware lying around, so I should be good on that front.
I'll see how far I can get with the N7A method. Thanks for the advice.
i have a rogers note 7 still. thought about trying to make it work but seeing everyones struggles, doesnt seem worth it. anyone have luck selling these things?
The market for Note 7s is mixed. Some units requiring more software work sell for as little as $200 (that's what I paid); decently working units (e.g. 60% limited units) fetch ~$600; and perfect condition units without any disabling updates can still for $1000. Some brand new in box units can still sell for $2000.
That said, is selling even legal? What are the implications around that?

Samsung Note10+ Not updating at all

Is there anyway to bypass this. I see everyone saying to use Odin to update my phone but i am not familiar with the program and where/how to source the note 10 update
Id greatly appreciate the help as its affecting many of my apps

+1 for me. Ive spent almost 2 years and 3 phones trying to get an answer to this. My note 8 had this problem, then my note 10+, then the replacement note 10+. At&t blames Samsung, then Samsung blames at&t, over and over and over. I even had a Samsung technician sit in on a 3 way call with an at&t technician for the better part of an hour. The last I heard was that at&t was petitioning samsung to fix something on their end because at&t shows that everything is up to date on my phone but its not. Im looking into Odin too because this is getting stupid.
At&t is horrible with OTA's. They work for some but for a lot of people it does not, and I am one of them. At&t has never been able to give me an answer as to why this happened on my Note 8..9..and 10+.
Odin is very easy. You dont have to use At&t firmware you can use any Snapdragon US firmware they are the same. Once its installed, it will provision to you sim. There are many threads that have the firmware needed or just us Frija to download the firmware. Once downloaded you need to extract the files. You will have BL..AP..CP..CSC...HOME_csc. You need to download the correct version of Odin to flash the firmware. Open Odin put device in download mode connect device. Once odin recognizes devices find where you extracted the firmware. In odin put BL in BL spot..AP in AP spot..CP in Cp spot. If you want to save data, put HOME_csc in CSC spot. If you want clean install put CSC in CSC spot as it will wipe device. Once you have everything where it should be click start and Odin will flash the firmware. Once complete Odin will say PASS at top left..boot time should take a few minutes. But remember if the firmware you flash has a higher bootloader you cant downgrade back to previous version.

So I can use a verizon csc and it will work on a att branded phone? Or is a generic one better?
Edit
Basically which one do you pick. I'm leaning towards a tmobile because it sounds like the included bloatware is smaller.
I have At&t device purchased at At&t. I have used USC..Tmobile..Verizon. The device will provision to your sim. If you dont want bloat just flash U1 firmware. But I think you will lose advanced features like wifi calling if you do. I cant remember if flashing a (U) csc with U1 firmware brings back advanced features. But prob just stick with 1 firmware until you have a understanding on how to do this...Good luck.

I actually went ahead and did this last night with the tmobile firmware and it was just as easy as you said. For whatever reason I didn't even get any bloatware. It booted up with the at&t logo and sound, and my software version says att/att/att. I put my sim card back in and there were no special notifications or anything, everything just worked. I wonder if Frija gave me the att firmware despite me putting in tmb? Either way, everything is up to day now. Thanks for the help!
Anytime my friend glad it all worked out[emoji106]

At&t is horrible with OTA's. They work for some but for a lot of people it does not, and I am one of them. At&t has never been able to give me an answer as to why this happened on my Note 8..9..and 10+.
Odin is very easy. You dont have to use At&t firmware you can use any Snapdragon US firmware they are the same. Once its installed, it will provision to you sim. There are many threads that have the firmware needed or just us Frija to download the firmware. Once downloaded you need to extract the files. You will have BL..AP..CP..CSC...HOME_csc. You need to download the correct version of Odin to flash the firmware. Open Odin put device in download mode connect device. Once odin recognizes devices find where you extracted the firmware. In odin put BL in BL spot..AP in AP spot..CP in Cp spot. If you want to save data, put HOME_csc in CSC spot. If you want clean install put CSC in CSC spot as it will wipe device. Once you have everything where it should be click start and Odin will flash the firmware. Once complete Odin will say PASS at top left..boot time should take a few minutes. But remember if the firmware you flash has a higher bootloader you cant downgrade back to previous version.

Hi I have the same problem. I flashed android 10 One UI 2.0 on my Exynos Note10+ SM-N975F last December via Odin and download the firmware from Samfrew(like Sammobile).(the firmware is the German version and I bought my phone from Egypt) Since then I didn't receive any security patch updates I only have the December 2019 one. Will it be safe if I download the latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it; the file in over 5GB , can this overwrite? I never tried to flash the same software two times. Is it safe?
As long as you are using the firmware that is for your device and your region you should be fine. Although this is Snapdragon thread I would think International flashing is same. You may want to double check in your device specific thread as I don't want to be the blame if there is something different with F version.

Also try turning off auto update date and time. Set date like 5days ahead. Then check for update. Sometimes this little trick works for OTA
