How to root the T-Mobile Note 7 using the sprint leaked firmware. - T-Mobile Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Here's how you do it: Follow the EXACT SAME GUIDE FROM THE SPRINT NOTE 7 SECTION!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
To get LTE to work again just add the T-Mobile APN (not that hard).
Also, you might want to freeze all the "Sprint OMADM" packages with titanium backup once you're rooted (will cause less of a hassle everytime you boot. I understand the devs in the "all things root" thread are holding this from you because they want to fix wifi calling but I think giving you root at all will tie you over for now. Also, I'm having problems downloading the gear VR apps with this so it's related to following this tutorial.
Thank you so much to the developers who made this possible for the Sprint note 7 and for everyone who brought this to the other variants (the T-Mobile note 7 was the easiest imo). It's a little funny to think that this whole time it was this easy and we could've been rooted all along. *If you really need the T-Mobile firmware rooted so you can enjoy wifi calling I've been working on something for a few hours but it's not ready.*
T-Mobile APN: https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/t-mobile-apn-settings/
Edit: YouTube video added.

Here's the APN information for T-Mobile if you need it.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17581

I thought it was going to be a quick video tutorial

If you're wondering why the model number ends with a "P" is because it's sprint firmware, silly. Your model number will appear as that. In the video you can see I am on T-Mobile. Yes, I do have a T-Mobile note 7. You can find some of my posts of me waiting for my note 7 in Charlie's waiting room thread.

It's literally the same thing as rooting the sprint note 7 except you need to add your APN and disable a few packages. Not that hard.

I get lost towards the part about adb I'm sorry

Uh, this is from freeza? It's his thread that you are following but for the sprint note 7. It turns out it flashes perfectly on the T-Mobile note 7 with no problems and you can add the T-Mobile APN to fix LTE (that's what worked for me).
He leaked the firmware, we're toying with his work (well I barely did anything as you didn't need to do much different for the T-Mobile variant). But yes, I can see why you'd wait for the official ONLY if it is based off of T-Mobile firmware.

Meant to say i'll wait for him to release the info on how to fix wifi calling and volte.

Thank you for this info @ethanscooter, I do not care for VOLTE or WC. I just want to block ads and run youtube with the display off. Question, assuming this process will wipe all the data off my phone correct?

I actually just backed up all my pictures and videos manually. I didn't need any app data saved.

WFC and VoLTE might be a bit of a ***** since sprint doesnt offer it and we are using the sprint image the frameworks might just simply not be there.

It's fine, it's root. Better than nothing. You can always use a Google voice number for the meantime if you really want to. We can always make a T-Mobile flashable ROM and flash it with FlashFire.

i am stuck at the part where i am pushing adb to the phone, it says cannot stat "sun7" : cannot find directory. help please

You need to make a folder called "sun7". Then extract all the contents of the zip you download into that folder. Wherever ADB is installed that folder needs to be in the same directory. Or if ADB is not in the same location provide the path.
Example: adb.exe push C:\pathtofilehere /directory/guide/tellsyouto/pushfoldercontentsto

AT&T Tab users: read this before you flash please!

Please do me a favor and you might thank yourself later
Download & install a File Explorer from the Market, copy all the files in /system/app to /sdcard and post/attach your MediaHub.apk here please. /system/app has all the applications that you might need to fall back on once you flash the tab with Euro rom.
I would tar the /system/app directory to a file but that might be too much work for some
Thank you very much!
How did you registered for the $50 credit. I can't register everytime I try in www.samsung.com/register. It keeps saying that my imei is wrong or that I have to select a sub-category. Thanks.
At&t was not even listed so i selected wireless provider & fill in everything else. No issue.
Once u regisrter, they will send u the voucher in email
Sorry I may be going a bit off topic...
Samsung is giving a $50 credit for registering your product?
I think it's Samsung USA only mate. Registered my Bell unit today and got nothing but some spam about a washer and dryer in my inbox.
I do hope someone could copy all of these apk in /system/app before they flash theirs. How could I sticky this?

You can't sticky, one of the moderators has to, who apparently are on vacation or something because they haven't stickied the post to make calls with a AT&T tab, a true achievement by the xda community...
Anyway, I can copy these files for you but I have a question, if I root my Tab can i return it to the store for a full refund (if I don't stay with it)?

It doesn't sound like you used z4root? If yes, you could un-root your tab using it. I see you have Tmobile ava. We need to have the AT&T apk. Just want to make sure. Thanks!
Noone has bought an AT&T tablet and about to flash their yet? C'mon......

REALLY!!!
If you will read my post again, I actually ask people, btw not just AT&T tab users, who will flash theirs with different ROM to back up /system/app
For US users who will buy the AT&T tab, they will receive a $50 credit for media hub. Once you flash the tab to have call feature back, media hub that comes with the Euro rom or even media hub that comes with the original firmware won't let you use the voucher.
Since you have not been keeping up with AT&T flash and issues, thought I would explain to you. Thank you for your support tho
Can't believe no one posted this yet.

Thank you much! could you please also post build.prop in /system directory? Thanks again!!!
ct, this MediaHub.apk is prolly the same one you posted as it asks me to update again. If I select OK, it will take me to Market and there isn't any update. If I click Cancel it closes the app.
So there must be another config file somewhere that it forces the update. I'm hoping it's in the build.prop...thus the request.

When it asks to upgrade it tries to open a market link which is on the at&t market store which does not exist if you are running the euro firmware.
So we need someone to post the medihub.apk AFTER he upgraded to the latest version .
I can't even reclaim the $50 at&t credit cause i can't register my tab on Samsung.com. Any ideas?

Hmm didnt see that your right. I have to see this, my GS5 has been sitting here with a bad esn due to early termination from the previous owner and honestly I dont use it like I use my LG G2 because of that.
UPDATE
Still tracking down what triggers the SHA256 to turn off so that it would read my sim. I did place my sim back into my GSIII so I can have service in the mean time but my sim is locked to 3G. Something happened to the sim when fiddling around with the settings on the S5.
For those who want to play around and see if they can find the trigger all you have to do is have: Root, SuperSU, BusyBox, and Shortcut Master Lite installed. Allow Shortcut Master root privileges and click menu Secret Code Explorer and go through the codes one by one.
Like I said im still trying to find out what exactly triggered the SHA256 to turn off.
I see there are some skeptics posting comments, just feel free to post a different unlock method if your not happy with waiting on this one!

Firmware is Still Universal with NEW Note 7 Units

FYI: Just flashed AT&T PH1 firmware on my N930V Verizon Note 7 that i just had replaced in the store today. They literally only changed the battery in the new models. Have fun rooting
Note : don't take the new green battery update or else you won't be able to flash PH1.. if you do take the update, you will need to wait for someone to upload the new green battery PHE firmware for the carrier of your choice. You CANNOT FLASH BACK TO PH1 AFTER UPDATING TO PHE (green battery) FIRMWARE.
out of curiosity why would you want to flash att firmware?
Maybe because we can and for the fun of it? Also, VZW strips out some Samsung capabilities. I may flash TMO when I get mine or just use the new root method. Picking up my new Note shortly from VZW store.

Not an issue if you flash the official firmware for the specific carrier model and have the appropriate sim card: I have both VZW and TMO.
so i can just flash any of the major carrier firmwares through odin and it will just work?

Yep boots up with AT&T logo, sounds, AT&T preinstalled apps and all. All of the phones are the same in the US. Verizon's are great because they are SIM unlocked unlike the others.

Because I have AT&T service on my primary line with unlimited data. Need to flash AT&T firmware to unlock LTE band 12/17 and get VoLTE, etc.
I use my secondary line on Verizon to upgrade all my phones, then use them on AT&T so I can keep my data. Also, I do 2yr contracts on VZW instead of the rip off that is the AT&T Next program.

Did you flash it with ATT ROM after the green battery verizon update. The people at Bestbuy updated my new swapped Note 7 with the green battery update. I am not sure if the original ATT ROM will work.

Still on PH1 so no green battery. Just read that the new firmware doesn't allow bootloader downgrading so root doesn't work. If the same is true for Verizon Green battery update, you'll need to flash the green battery AT&T update

Sorry I was vague, it was my knee jerk reaction to that news.. I was planning on doing the root for Verizon soon. But now it seems in my haste to confirm they actually gave me a good battery unit by updating to check for green battery, I forgot the main rule of wanting to root "don't take otas". So it seems I'm stuck for the given time.

The only root thing I'd want is to enable hotspot on my unlimited plan but I'd hardly use it anyway. Since Samsung gave the small scaling option plus I have Nova Prime and the Material theme on top of disabling all unwanted apps, root isn't even necessary for me. What do you typically do or use that requires root?
I just want it for the ability to actually clean up and get rid of all the crapware they put on the devices...

Eh, just the normal stuff. Hotspot, debloat and other system app removal, backups via titanium backup, root ad blocker (rather than constantly running a VPN with adguard) . Other small customization such as things from emspilots thread..oh and small annoyance fixes like removing the headphone volume warning.
I'll agree that root hasn't been necessary but at the moment it was kind of a nice feeling knowing that if I found a reason to push me back towards rooting I could root and just give up using samsung pay.
Oh and a battery icon that has the level indicator inside the icon.. kills me to see how much space just the battery icon and percentage take up on my status bar lol

If g930pvps4apk1 is the latest Sprint firmware, can I root?

Hopefully I haven't trashed my phone. I tried doing one of the root methods and now my phone is stuck. Running the factory refresh does nothing but kick me back into the boot loader. And when I try to install any firmware I get an error "Complete(Write) operation failed" in Odin (I have tried a couple different versions) and I get an error on the phone also "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 3> Binary 2"
I am hoping that if I install the latest firmware PK1, if it ever finishes downloading, that it will un-brick my phone.
Is there anything else I can do to prepare my phone for this. Will reinstalling the latest firmware fix those write and SW REV check errors.
I finally downloaded g930pvps4apk1 and when I try to install it I am getting the same errors, Odin = Write failed, phone = sw rev check fail : system Fused 3 > binary 1

where did you get it from please give a lik i need this firmware
I'll check my history when i get to a PC tomorrow. But if you Google that firmware you will find it. It is the main place where most of the firmware comes from originally. Samdriver, or something like that. It will take about 3 hours though. I finally got it to flash from a different computer with the latest ODIN.

I only flashed the AP, CP and CSC file, based on the following info I found in the forums.
Why I chose the CSC file.
CSC -> there's a PIT inside and will wipe your device
HOME_CSC -> the data should stay on your device
And I didn't flash the BL file based on the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...msung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930p-root-xposed-t3503599
thanks a lot,!!!
I just got an unlocked Sprint S7 for my wife to use in TMO and it came with this firmware. OP please share your finding on getting it rooted. thanks! Id like to flash custom ROM and make it run the best in TMO.

I'm assuming you have all the other required files. Samsung USB drivers installed, ADB installed...

Thanks for the information. I rooted successfully with the link provided. I've done the build prop edits for data but I can't call, receive or send MMS. It won't update prl and profile and my phone number is 000-000-0###. Although I DO have LTE. Any tips? Thanks again

I believe a thread is being made there is a way to root the newest Bootloader and keep calls and text.
Is this a systemless root I can hide with Magisk? My princess would be dissapointed if I stopped taking her out to play Pokemon Go.

Well, I will just have to see if Suhide and Root Switch work. Its not like I want constant root. I just want it long enough to debloat this damn thing. I really wish Sprint hadn't forced me to buy a new phone to get their service. I should have went to T-Mo. Would have costed me the same per month anyway, and I could have kept my nexus.

oh sorry for that. I don't really use mms which is why i didnt recognize that. Though the calls and normal texts work for you right? I'm pretty positive that you just need to input correct settings for that to work somewhere in your APN settings. But I'm not 100% sure. Just play with your apn. I'm glad that they're doing a new thread about this because honestly, after that root and i guess the sim unlock too, it made my phone SUPER SLUGGISH. Let's hope for that thread to come but meanwhile im sticking to this.
i hope this can help

Yeah it was sluggish at first until I flashed the v15 fix. Voice and MMS wouldn't work no matter what, but data stuck. I used the same apn as stock, build prop edits etc.. it was nice finally rooting my s7 considering it was on pk1 when I bought it. No worries I'll wait until nougat unless a fix comes up. This is my first non-nexus phone in 3 years so everything is still new to me.
Edit: that was without the idoneapps sim unlock. I just flashed the engineer boot and ran the root file. might be why I couldn't get voice or data lol

I couldn't find an earlier version of Package Disabler Pro. The newer version don't allow you to disable the 3 packages alright it seems I can't downgrade to PE1 , I'm going to subscribe to this thread just in case something new comes up.
look.

no if you go down you can find method 1 and 2 on that forum
I tried method 2

I have to pass on trying this root method. Paying a shady company for a shady app falls out of my comfort zone.

Root Achieved on Verizon Note 8 Snapdragon

Just wanted to ensure everyone here knows that root was achieved for Snapdragon processors. I had nothing to do with this except to root my Note 8 based on the below link.
See thread below for instructions.

What is the possibility of a fix so that we can charge the battery to 100%?

0% without terrible hacks that require the phone be unusable. It's built into the combo/eng bootloader that makes root possible

I see, Thank you for that information. I guess I will wait to see if Xposed Framework is made to work with this device.
My only real draw to rooting is the Per App DPI and a modified hotspot app

They were able to overcome this with the S7, and Keep samsung pay working so I am hopeful they will find a way for the note8.
It might take awhile but it will come. Other than 1 or 2 mods i feel no need to root. But I would like to have the dual speaker mod.
Peace
This setup runs very smooth and fast. System root, no lag. Very resource friendly.
how do you like root so far? I just put the unlocked version would it be worth going to the rooted version?
Rooted then reverted back to stock but now I can't get any of the stock Verizon apps back ie visual voicemail app. Does anybody know how to get these back? I wanna be able to update to Oreo later on without any issues.

I don't have one, I want one though. If all else fails, after rooting I was able to the ADB trick, but I still have to turn off mobile data, turn on hotspot, turn mobile data back on.
I really want to be able to click the hostpot button and have it just turn on.

Did you flash the userdata partition when returning to stock?

Thanks for your reply.
I heard about doing that but didn't know how. I do know that I have the Verizon boot up screen and the 4G LTE logo for the data. It looks like I got HD voice but not for video. I can't even get WiFi calling to activate too.
If you could help me that would be great otherwise I might have to do a warranty replacement which is a last resort that I don't want to do in the first place.

Hi, were you able to flash the userdata partition? I'm not sure how to do this or if I even have the necessary file if needed. I was able to get the UMS button to show with your instruction but now I'm stuck.

Is this under the option tab or UMS button? Do I need another file? Seems like I'm missing something. I'm going to do a search here in the mean time. Btw it seems like I have to use Comsy Odin 3.12 to flash my files without errors.
Thanks for all of your help so far.
Ok looks like I finally was able to get all my Verizon apps back on it. I had to download the N950U firmware which had the USERDATA file that I needed to flash. I'm not sure why there is even a N950U1 firmware to begin with.
I have the August security patch and is still have the U1 baseband. WiFi calling is working but I didn't activate my visual voicemail yet but the app is there though. I didn't activate video calling yet because I would need to setup basic voicemail service first.
Thanks again for all of the help guys.
