My girlfriend got an auto update from T-Mobile on her note 7 and it limited her phone to only charge up to 60%. So I found the stock firmware for the previous version and used Odin to flash it over. I also used package disabler pro to prevent future updates. I will link a download to all files from my Google drive as they took wayyy too long to download off of the original site. It will include, the stock firmware (there's 5 parts) Odin (latest version) and package disabler pro. Hopefully anybody reading this is familiar with Odin but if not please ask any questions I'm sure either I or someone else on here can answer them.

Above is also a guide on how to use Odin for those of you who arent familiar with it!
UPDATE!!!!
Package disabler pro stopped working for me but after about 2 hours of searching i found a replacement app. The link is below!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c6ZaGr79eTUGRFWWdOMVRSODQ/view?usp=drivesdk
It allowed me to disable all of the update packages
can anyone confirm this while i wait for files to download
i was wondering the same thing and what order to do them in I don't see why it shouldn't work honestly i just haven't used oden in forever and don't want to screw it up lol
It worked fine on her phone you just have to use the app I provided to disable a few packages to stop auto updates and forced updates. I'll upload a screenshot of which ones to disable

You'd flash all 5 of the files at once. The slots on the right in Odin are labeled (for example) ap; you'd select the file I uploaded that starts with ap same with bl, csc etc.
For some reason it won't let me post a screenshot but the packages you'll want to disable are the 2 that say Software Update and one that says UrgentFWUpdateTSP
files are done downloading, ill update this post after im done trying this method
Edit: I can confirm this method works, thanks for figuring this out, also got the green battery icon back "note" the odin file OP included does not include a ini file so it does not open, i just downloaded a different one odin v3.11.1

The only thing I got working was flashing the PI4, and updating SamPay to 2.4.02. I can't get PGC to flash. That's the one we need, it's pre-recall.

The csc tmb file will be the one you'll want to use under the csc slot in odin
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices
Above is a guide to using odin the csc tmb file is the one youll want to use in the csc tab on odin. It will factory reset the phone so if theres anything important on it make sure you back it up on your computer or sd card.
Also i have the note 7 that was available after the recall so im not sure if this will work for the original version of the phone. I can try to find the files for the original version when i get off work lol

Thanks, I don't think it will work, for now I'll just be happy with PI4 and able to fully charge it. They must have done something to the bootloader so as not to flash, which makes sense because they don't want you to charge above 60% and they want the phone back...I never had this problem flashing my S5....or S4....[emoji36]

I bought this unlocked international note 4 with a plan to root it....
However it has already been rooted....
I have ATT for service. The person I got it from had T-Mobile.
When I put my sim in and start it up I can make calls and send text as well as even get online
The problems are as follows:
1. It does not stay connected to the ATT network, I have to repeatedly hit send over and over till it finally makes the call... The same goes for text and the internet...
2. When I made the attempt to re-root the whole thing (mind you I am new to all this rooting...this would only be my second time doing so) I found after downloading all the software needed to do so.... I began to follow the steps provided here on XDA, when I tried to boot with the volume, center, and power key the menu is in Chinese sooooooo
........ So now I'm at a complete loss... I do not know what to do
Please tell me that one of you geniuses out there can help me solve this dilemma.....
I was hoping that just re-rooting this phone would solve my problems........
Thank you guys

Ok download jasmine 6.1 if you haven't already. Start flashfire
Grant permission to run
Press the + button bottom right
Tap flash zip
Chose jasmine zip file(usually in download directory)
Hit checkmark top right
Don't hit flash yet. First
Hit + again and choose wipe.
Make sure top 3 are checked
Hit checkmark top right
Then hit flash..phone go black.
Flashfire will prepare phone for zip. Beautiful writing will scroll past ..black and then you will see it flash jasmine. Then it should reboot and hopefully you will see 4 icons across screen and will be there so long you will think your in a bootloop. .wait.
after a while it will go into setup screen

How long do you wait? I have done this well over 18 times and all it does is go to the Samsung GALAXY Note 3 logo with the "unlocked" lock and stays there. I've waited for an hour to 45 minutes and never a thing. I always have to re-install OF1 wait a day for it to settle then er-root..... always.

When you set flashfire up make sure the last step is to flash the rom. You have to long press on the steps to move them around. Otherwise you may be installing the rom and then wiping it away.

Mike. It looks fine. We can unlock our phones now. So I suggest you unlock your phone so you can put a recovery on it..then you can install jasmine through recovery after you've backed up your stock. And if you still have issues you can just restore backup.. have you seen the threads about this?

I saw two different methods and I tried one but it did not work and the video of the other seemed very cumbersome plus the guy in the video keeps saying Verizon Note 3 but his phone appears to be another version, a N9005 not a N900V. His video is the one I use for trying the Jasmine 6.1 install also.
Send me a good link for the unlock if you could with good instructions. Now I have to re-load OF1 and wait for it to settle then try to re-root again.
Thanks,

What do you mean by "twice the ADB instructions"? Plus I ALWAYS have to let it settle or it will not take the re-root.
I use to never have a problem rooting or flashing Roms, that was until LL. Not to mention that Titanium Backup is lousy now with LL. It constantly says insufficient space even after I deleted everything off my SD card. My SD card is a 64 Gb so I know I have plenty of space.
Since we're not getting MM, maybe I'll just wait for an exploit on it for my Note 3. I just don't know.

I use airplane mode because where I live I have very lousy reception and it drains my battery fast trying to connect, so I use my wifi a lot at home. I will try regular and see how it works. I re-odined OF1 yesterday and today I re-rooted after I let it settle over night. I then used the .apk to unlock and all is fine it seems, so I will probably try to put either Jasmine or some other Rom on it tomorrow. It seems to always work better if I wait until the next day. I don't know why, but it does. What's the best custom Rom available now for a rooted unlocked Verizon Note 3?

No you really should ..download flashify from google .install it and grant it permission when you open it.. hit recovery. Top twrp install reboot..your recovery will start and you can chose to back up . I would call it stock rooted..to change name within backup click on top where it says auto generated and type whatever you want..then after its done hit home on bottom middle..then you can reboot system. Your all set for jasmine or whatever. It will only go into recovery with button sequence
Have you used a recovery before?

I was kinda hoping maybe a forum member had one lying around. That way I know its a reliable and verified source.. I hate using file hosts that limit your DL speed and amount of downloads per hour.. For example the second link in ibuprofen's response limits to 1 DL per hour AMD when I got to the link ASA it started to DL I hit my home button and lost the DL.. Tried to DL again and said to many connection s try again later lol

Any Luck?
Let us know if you find it, I'm in the same boat and trying to find a legit and "Actual" Stock ROM for the SM-S975L is Dangerous business, guaranteed to make you become Postal! Made the standard nand backup of course but go figure, when you need storage to work it always seems to spit Corrupt out at you !!??
The model #s can't change from one to another; i.e. sml to sgh. To confirm the phone motherboard's actual model #, boot into download mode.

I am having trouble with reverting to stock ??
Before flashing anything, I recommend confirming the model # in download mode.
Check my signature for the stock ROM. Links are there

Has anyone been successful with rooting the Canadian variant using SamPWND method?
I've been too busy at work to try myself up to this point but would like to root and use the XAC or CHR CSC firmware for the system.img.ext4.
This has been asked in the SamPWND root post but answers are vague at best.
I am too is eager to root my s8 sm-g950w from Rogers, I don't care about unlocking the bootloader or custom roms or any in-depth customisation, I'm fine with Samsung's skin. I just want root access to use things like "freedom" for in app purchases or "gameguardian" and other apps that benefit from root.
Hope there is a method soon
Same here I am also wondering if there is a root for the Canadian version of the s8. And maybe sometime a boot loader unlock as well

So apparently it's the same procedure as the 950u version I'm going to try it on mine soon and I'll let youkbkw if it works or not
It is a sm-g950u. Look at the fine print on the lower back of your phone.
sorry that is what i mean to say sm-g950u but im trying this for the sm-g950w with telus as the carrier
The actual root method (SamPWND) will work but whether I can use the Canadian firmware is what I'm wondering. I don't want to use the 950U or U1.
I'm going to try but it'll be another week before I'm home and can do it.

Thanks for letting me know. Just downloaded the Telus firmware and have been thinking about giving it a go. Will probably break down and use a US firmware at some point here. I thought I had made my peace with not having root but seeing that people have Xposed working too is pushing me over the edge to try. Not that keen on 80% battery though. Got spoiled by the battery life on my Pixel XL before it died and find I have to charge my S8 quite a bit more with fully working battery.
Hi all. Yeh the telus image did not work for me. Either. What I ended up doing to still have root is not to flash the image with flash fire. Basicly after I got super su on my phone I stopped

Interesting... Let us know if it works well. In the root thread OP it says that might not be stable or smooth
Yeh it works fairly well. In my oppinion. Only issue is chrome does this weird thing it's hard to explain but it does not crash.

What kind of issues do you have after rooting?? Everything all good just following the guide?
Yeh I unrooted yesterday because it was to glitchy for me some apps I use like air audio did not work well and a few others. and like I said earlier the telus firmware gave that locked phone error so i kept the modified firmware on it overall I don't recommend if you are given that error and using just the modified firmware. and on top of it the 80% battery was a issue also.

My understanding is that we can use the 950U1 firmware to do the second method where root is more stable but I haven't tried it yet.
So your saying we just need to wait for another method?? Glitchy root isn't worth it. Sounds like there's way too many issues not to mention it being too unstable

What's wrong with using the U1 firmware for flashing the second part?
It's an unbranded/unbloated version which has all the US and Canada frequencies.
You can dial *#243203855# (or make a shortcut to the activity Preconfig with ShortcutMaster) and select XAA or XAC then select "Do not change QA" which will lock in the CSC settings permanently without switching based on the inserted sim.
As far as waiting for another method, probably not a good idea since the US root took months and many devs to come alive.
If you do Part 2 with the U1 firmware it shouldn't be too glitchy. The 80% battery remains. There's a fix for the green screen issue.
I'm not sure what is lost by switching to US firmware from the Canadian firmware, if anything.

Im with rogers. The only issue i seem to have noticed is. There is u.s. options. In settings. An xac is showing when in download mode rather than rwc like it originally was. Also bixby an samsung translation seems to not be working . I think im going to try to flash the csc file for xac from sammobile an see if that fixes any issues (radio issues)
I dont think it has anything ti do wit csc. Just checked nuff samsung apps. Heres the issue i think with some of the apps from samsung. (Samsung root security)
