My note 7 updated to 60% battery cap - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I am mad at samsung and myself because accidentally clicked the annoying update reminder. so it updated to the 60% battery cap and annoying recall pop up message.
Is there anything to reverse this? root or something?? or at least anything to get rid of the annoying recall pop up message??
Sorry if this is the wrong section.
Note 7 t-mobile US version.

Was this the original or 2nd version with green battery...was just curious

Even if you root it I'm hearing you can only get back to 80%. Not sure how that could be. Even if you could get back to 100%, that only buys you until they block the IMEI. I got an S7E and it'll do fine until S8+ or something comes along.

second with green battery.

Yea I just got that 60% cap update as well for my 2nd generation Sprint version Note 7...will finally ne returning this week

They are not blocking imei in the US. It's very easy to get back to 100% now

no IMEI blocking and its very easy to get 100% as mention. I don't know why people just dont search. The useful threads are right at the top as well.
If you chose to keep the phone you have a responsibility to keep it working. Spend some times on the forum OP and learn.

why didn't you install the app that blocks the update as mentioned all over?

Did I brick my S3?

Okay, I got a Galaxy S3 about a week ago, rooted, installed rom manager and left it mostly alone...... Today I tried to install a rom and it is now completely unresponsive(no matter what buttons I hold down)
This is what I did:
1. Flash Clockwork using Rom Manager
2. selected "Install rom from SD" and picekd the rom I had downloaded(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735850)
3. rom tried to install but failed, error code 7 i believe
4. CWR warned me that the phone might try to Flash the system recovery on boot and asked if I wanted to prevent it... so I let it do it's think
5. phone *reboots* but does not turn back on.....
When I plug it in to the computer it is recognized for a second(windows does the usb beep) then fails....this also happens when I try the button combinations
Pulling the battery/sd has NOT helped
flashed an international rom phone might be bricked. Hopefully it didn't actually flash and you can odin the phone back to stock.

Unfortunately Since I bought it on craigslist(even though it was new, sealed in the package) and not from a T-Mo store, they won't let me replace it

Mistyped....... And how would I go about getting samsung to replace my phone? I already made a Samsung account, but when I try to register the phone to my account it wants to know where/when it was originally purchased...... Things that I don't know
If you do the exchange through tmo, it will go through just fine regardless of where you bought it. This is not an invite to argue, I'm stating facts from experience.

You sure they still do that? I know I've bought a phone on craigs.. had a problem called T-Mobile and got a replacement, but I tried to do that last month with a s2 but since it wasn't bought on my account they said they wouldn't replace it.

I suppose they could have changed it since I did it the last time (Sept) but that would be crazy if they did. I get most of my phones by trading etc. And have always had them replace phones if needed (since g1 times). But I've never actually said to them that I didn't buy it new, and I've never had them ask. Maybe it's one of those things that it would be too much work to keep track of, but they can deny it if they know? Cause it could be from a different line on the account that had an exchange a few months ago so the imei wouldn't match the receipt anyways. They would need to hire an entire department to go through all of the exchanges.

This is why people shouldn't hack their phones unless they educate themselves on what they r doing. Good Luck

JTAG it from mobiletechvideos. Don't use the warranty method. You made the mistake so man up and pay the $60 or so it will cost for them to fix it. They have great support and will keep you informed the whole way through. Using the warranty method will just jack insurance and cost up for everybody that does their homework before flashing willy nilly. Good luck.

Rooting should be the same process, flash cwm or twrp via odin, then rebbot into recovery and flash superuser.
Until we know more details about the phone and its partition layout, thats probably the safest way. I wouldnt use any automated tools yet, just to be safe.

Don't know if it will help, but that comand was run before rooting, also I don't know if it will change but tmo hasn't officially rolled out LTE in my market, you might be able to figure it out if you find out the band of LTE that metro pcs uses as tmo has stated they will be using the same band since they aquired metro and they were already using a specific band that tmo would continue to use that band.
Your modem is different than all the other modems.

I was wondering the same thing. The release was quiet and sure well get more and more questions about this variant. I'm sure it probably wont get a new thread but who knows. I wonder if my phone was to get messed up in the future and I warrantied, if they send me an lte version.

Fears and Rooting

I have always rooted my phones. I've walked out of the Sprint store and rooted my last phone after getting a refurbed phone from insurance. This time with my new note 4, it seems different. I am half afraid to because of the Knox tripping. What happens if say in 1 year my phone has some sort of issue and I need to turn it back in for insurance? Before I just un-rooted and took it back in. Now there is no reverse for the knox. I could really care less for the knox and have no need for it.
Any suggestions for calming my fear?

I'm in the same boat as you man. This is the 1st device I haven't rooted in many years. The main reason that I'm not is I'm on the easy pay plan so in one years time I walk in to sprint, hand them this, pay the taxes which are next to nothing, and walk out with the note 5. So long as I don't mess with it. Which btw so far if you do root you will trip Knox and currently there is no way to reverse it. I'm kinda ok with it with this device though as I had the Note 2 before this running cm11 and while it was good something always went wrong somewhere. I'd take a pic and the phone would freeze or something and never ended up getting the pic/vid so it's kinda nice having a device as good as this and everything actually works.

To my knowledge tripping KNOX does not affect your upgrade eligibility. The policy simply says the phone must still be in good condition. That is all. They just want to be able to sell it a refurb and they can actually have it sent to Samsung and have KNOX reset. It can be done with JTAG equipment and knowing which bit needs to be flipped.

Thanks. That's good to know. I've rooted and flashed many custom roms for years but never really knew that end of it. What about the KNOX tripping thing?

rooting itself causes no problems. -_- Problems arise when you start using titanium backup or removing apks manually, and you don't know EXACTLY what they do. Many resources out there will tell you, and sometimes a friendly question in a thread may solve your problems quickly. One good lol for you is : If you use xposed thats typically going to get blamed first for your issues xD

Im a sales rep at a sprint store and I can say with certainty that we do not check to see if a phone is rooted when we do a giveback on them. honestly the only thing we check is if it turns on and if the screen is broken. most of us wouldn't care regardless, ive even given advice on rooting to a few customers ive helped.

I see it this way - you have to by insurance anyways. I could buy a house with what I have given Asurion over the years. If my phone goes down it costs $200 to get another. If I have to trade it in the claim will be for broken hardware. They will get enough pieces to identify what it was.

I think you are fine on a trade because the only reason you would need to trade is if it is not working. If it is for a repair it is going to be the hardware anyways. I've taken rotted phones in for repair and they didn't even know.

I see it this way - you have to by insurance anyways. I could buy a house with what I have given Asurion over the years. If my phone goes down it costs $200 to get another. If I have to trade it in the claim will be for broken hardware. They will get enough pieces to identify what it was.

The only problem I'm worried about is that I won't get my copy of 5.0 if I root before I get it. Is there a way around that?

I think you are fine on a trade because the only reason you would need to trade is if it is not working. If it is for a repair it is going to be the hardware anyways. I've taken rotted phones in for repair and they didn't even know.

Is there a way to bring it back to stock right now. I've never owned a phone this close to it's release date. I haven't had a chance to look in to what's out there yet. I want to root with just ADB and not use a recovery but I can't get the USB through with out superuser and if I did get him in there I think he would be dead before I could tell him about the Knox.
question... Just to be sure...
I have been waiting to see the lollipop update before rooting my note 4.
But... if I were to root the phone (and add TWRP)... but did not install a new rom, would I still be able to get the OTA update from Sprint without issue? Will the OTA break root? Could the update brick my phone?
Alright Im also in the same boat as you guys. I been rooting phone since htc hero loll. Slow piece of **** lol. Anyway im scared of tripping knox and having a fear if anything happen to my phone like crack screen water damage etc. I have a best buy insurance and not sure if i do root it and best buy can still find out if my phone is rooted and my warranty is voided after that so waste of $12 a month. So what should I do?

Question with getting a replacement

Hey guys I don't know if that was a question before but I cracked my screen and I am getting a replacement today and I was wondering what OS the phone going to be and if it comes with lollipop can I revert back to kit kat if I mess up my device?
If it has bob7 or earlier yes. Otherwise no. Ask if they have a white one if all of the black are updated past bob7. in my area the white moves slower and is more likley to have older os.

Some reps will try to update phone before they hand it over. Ask them not to.

I just got my replacement and it is bof5. But I am getting a new pone soon so I might not root it. I went through the insurance company.
It all depends on what they give you. I had 2 replacement phones in the last 4 weeks. The first one came with BOF5. The second one came with BOB7. I think they gave me the BOB7 phone because I complained about severe lag on the BOF5. Maybe it was a coincidence I'm just glad they gave it to me lol
I'd say wait until the new Moto X comes out and get that, worth every penny for the insane specs you get. I cannot wait to leave the Note 4. Samsung is by far the worst brand I have ever moved to lol but I make the best of it by developing and giving support to others!

No Insurance on device, Trick how to change that anytime even after 60 days limit! :)

First you need a older phone that was on your account or a dummie sprint phone
Activate it on the website to replace your current device you want insurance on
Wait 1 to 3 hours for everything to take (If it doesnt right away you wont be able to go on, just wait trust me took it 3 hours for me)
go back to activate a new device on the web site
make sure your dummie phone shows as current
add device you want insurance in activate new device
In services, choose to add the total protection program (Give it another 1 to 3 hours but youll notice the 13 dollar insurance has been added and you can use it anytime now)
Normally after 60 days on a new device you cant add insurance but if you do this right you can add it anytime. I did it all in the same day and sprint is replacing my phone even though I have't paid for the 13 a month yet. I've had my device since august at well.

If your within the 60 days of getting the device, I've talked to bestbuy, sprint, and samsung and they all gave me a hard time and wouldn't do it period. My phone was bought in august. You got lucky if they didn't give you a hard time.
