The cure for the note 7 snapdragon variant - Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm

I finally cracked it!!! after about 1700 hours of research amd development on the original Note 7 Snapdragon variant, here isis the firmware tbat will save your note 7 from the last death update. Flash this through odin just like normal and your note 7 will now charge to 100% and will be fully functional. Unfortunatley the wifi and bluetooth are disabled but i am working tirelessly on fixing the wifi and bluetooth and will post the fix on this thread when it is acheived. Feel free to donate if you wish, i spent a TON of time on this and will always appreciate your generosity. Paypal : [email protected] Enjoy!

Have not been tested on those models but as long as its snapdragon it should work....maybe just try flashing the boot image to start, if it flashes in, then you're good to go!

You flashed it with frp lock on or off?

K and L versions are Exynos based. Will not works.

It doesn't matter if its on or off, the note 7's frp is easily hacked if you don't know the last emails identity or password. The only thing that matters is the fact that this will only work for snapdragon, sorry enynos

This isn't something I need but congrats. Nice work!

Is the firmware official? What binary version? Can I install recovery and system for exynos model?

It is all official, flashable firmware, rev 3, unfortunately this is a Qualcomm exclusive firmware, for exynos just flash twerp, root your n7 and flash hydra rom, easy peasy

there currently is no rev 3 sprint firmware in existance.
this is the stock N930W8 firmware, modified to charge to 100%. i have tracked down the stock rev 3 verizon firmware amf modified it to charge to 100% and on this firm the wifi and bluetooth are fixed. PM me if you need the modified verizon firmware, im sharing it for $30 per person.

No cure for exynos models?

Coming from a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 (rom was before Knox, yay!)) I guess I'm spoiled for info. I didn't quite expect it to be this sparse. :-/
Only 2 threads concerning rooting and installing recovery on the SM-G870F..
Even though I've been here for almost a decade, I still find it unsettling every time i have to fiddle with the firmware.
And even more so, when Samsung is threatening with all sorts of evil (which btw by law, doesn't ruin my guarantee where I live).
So thanks guys! I'm now rooted (Chainfire -Towelroot doesn't work) and have made a backup with TWRP.

I confirm that twrp-2.8.7.0-klte ( galaxy S5 international version) works without problem on S5 Active ( SM-G870F).
You can not install this custom recovery direct from TWRP Manager from GooglePlay but installing is possible through Odin.
It was very hard to get any information and find clear experience about possible custom recovery for this model (SM-G870F). But thanks for you guys, it actually works now on my phone. :good:
Looking for Safestrap for SM-870W
Hi All,
After some research, I found that Samsung S5 Active (Bell (Canada) Mobility) has a locked bootloader
so I cannot install CWR or TWRP customer recovery. So I guess it Safestrap for me. But I can only find
Safestrap for either AT&T or Verizon http://www.mediablog.us/download-install-safestrap-recovery-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a/
Can I use either one of them on my device? My intention is to load Koolkit ROM but I need to figure
out first how can I install Safestrap on my phone.
Any help, advise or suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.

This might have just came out after i posted this... but if it will work with your phone as long as the model match then no reason why you can't upgrade....
if you want to download it, just get samfirm and download it using that with model number as sm-n910w8 and either use TLS (Telus) or RWC for Region.
Set the option to decrypt automatically. You can use odin to flash.

Fwiw, it decrypts/ extracts as a .zip file, so won't flash in Odin. I assume it's a zip due to it being a downloadable update directly to the phone. Flash in TWRP or CWM?

Actually the DPE2 firmware is posted as a zip, but once you unzip your download (which is over 2 GB in size, btw!) you will have a .tar.md5 file that you flash with Odin in the usual way.
As for the question of whether you actually _can_ flash the DPE2 firmware for the N910W8 on the N910T, at least one developer, Ovrdrive, who tried it on his N910T said it wouldn't boot, and I haven't seen any posts here from anyone saying they got it to work on a N910T. So - any brave soul who tried DPE2 on his N910T and made it work should post about his success here.

NO it will not work on the 910T. not through Odin anyways as the model number won't match. Sefrcoko is working on a flashable zip and deodexing but at the moment is having issues with deodexing so it may work through flashing in recovery with a MM kernel. We will have to wait and see

I've never used Samfirm. I was talking specifically about the zip files posted at sammobile (link for the N910W8 version in my previous post), which are intended to be unzipped to a .tar.md5 and flashed with Odin.

I assume that since you upgraded to MM, and T-Mobile has yet to ship MM, you have a N910W8 and you installed DPE2. It's the bootloader that came with DPE2 that is the problem. All the custom ROMs, even the MM port ones, are intended for the most recent T-Mobile bootloader, which is DOK2 Lollipop 5.1.1, or the most recent Canadian equivalent, COK3 Lollipop 5.1.1. When and if T-Mobile finally, FINALLY ships their version of MM, the custom ROMs here will probably be based on that bootloader instead. T-Mo and Samsung should be ashamed about how long MM is taking. Verizon has it. EVERY Canadian carrier has it. Looks like T-Mo is shooting for the distinction of being the very last carrier anywhere to ship MM.
Anyway, until then you need to use Odin to downgrade to COK3 (or, at least the COK3 bootloader) before any currently available custom ROMs will boot.

Unable to downgrade from U1 unlocked to ATT U firmware

I currently have the U1 unlocked firmware flashed and am trying to flash it back to the original U firmware because of the new bootloader issue. I am receiving an Odin fail error all the time with different USB ports and computers. Is there something I did wrong? Also, I purchased this as a G950U device. I recently got it unlocked through ATT so does that mean it is now a G950U1 device?
The G950U is the unlocked version, so why did you have to unlock it through AT&T?
It should've worked straight off the bat.
This is the U version (For USA, unlocked version) https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s8-8161.php#g950u
And the AT&T version is the G950A.

I'm honestly not sure. The firmware was the original stock ATT version and I was running the latest Nougat update.

I got desperate and rooted due to needing to do an important phone call. Are there any guides that can walk me through this? Also your link gives me some weird hotlinking error.

QL1 is the latest. This is labeled as vzw but it's all inclusive so it installs properly depending on your sim:

Hey joe thanks for this! I figured I'd give it a shot to flash back to unroot and it worked! I also checked my warranty in the download mode and it's still at 0x0 and I'm still able to use Samsung Pay/Secure Folder so I didn't even trip Knox.

Glad to help!

Can I get custom recovery on the latest S8+ exynos firmware update or is it too late?

Hi,
Title says it all. I heard about android 10 on S8+ and was interested to get lineage os 17.
Thanks in advance.

It works on my note 8 so I am pretty sure it will for the s8, just make sure you have the OEM toggle turned on.

But do I need to downgrade (if possible)? Don't Samsung secure/lock the bootloader more and more with every new update/patch?
Thanks.
Firmware version is G955FXXS6DSL2 btw

It is Exynos right?
You just can't downgrade bootloaders, with the build number you just posted, if you count 5 in from the end, you can see you are on bootloader 6, so you can not flash bootloader 5 or lower filmware.
As long as you have the OEM toggle turn on, you can flash TWRP and a custom rom. Just if you want to go back to stock filmware, just make sure you flash bootloader 6 or higher.
When reverting, if I flash bootloader 5, my phone (it is exynos) will brick or simply not work?
Also, please could someone link which twrp is the right one to flash (can I just use regular Odin as well?) because there are so many out there and I really don't want to brick.
Thanks in advance.
Bump. I am a complete newbie and I just want someone to guide me to the correct XDA thread.
Thanks in advance.

You can not flash older bootloaders? I think, at least not in Odin, on TWRP tho I'm not sure, TBH IDK what would happen lol

If you search here on XDA you will find the TWRP post of corsicanu, that's the correct one and, there is a link for Odin

Odin will just fail and not do anything, I screwed up something and had to reflash factory image, but didn't realize I was flashing an older bootloader version, once I tried to flash current one and it was fine
