Root to with custom rom fixes 60%? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

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 ?

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

Sorry guys I'm new to how the sprint downgrades work as I've had AT&T all my life. I'm trying to get of stock 5.0.1, never rooted never anything really bck down to original 4.4.4 firmware. Is this possible? Some posts say yes and others say no. Can someone help me out and point me in the direction of where to go if it is possible to obtain the stock 4.4.4 odin package so I can get off this POS update

Hello. I have G928F on 5.1.1 BTU and seeing that Poland XEO is receiving OTA update to MM I installed 5.1.1 XEO (clean, full wipe), thinking that I would instantly receive this OTA.
Unfortunately, the CSC remained BTU (firmware XEO).
Device is not rooted, forgot to mention.
Boot in recovery, format device, after booting the CSC is TPH and stays that way no matter what I do.
What can I do to change this CSC from TPH to XEO in order that everything be XEO and succeed with OTA to MM?
PLease help......
no deepsleep fix doesn´t work for me. any idea?

I did factory reset in recovery but CSC is not changing from TPH...
I also noticed that all the firmwares are exactly the same for TPH and XEO so how can be the CSC changed inside them without rooting???

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.

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.
