I wouldn't recommend flashing the full TAR. If you'd like a guarantee to get back, I'll be making separate flashables.
for example i'll just rip apart the tar and make an odin flashable of everything except the bootloader.

You should still be able to revert to 5.1.1 as the bootloader fuse is still 4 ...just like all the other sprint MM roms i posted you can downgrade without issues

Like many rooted users that are contemplating returning the S7 due to locked bootloader, they, like you, retain a flashable rooted device.
I think Samsung just ruined a good thing for this community. I had hoped for a rooted Note 6 one day soon, but losing all hope. Samsung says the carriers wanted locked bootloaders. Sprint and T-Mobile deny that claim. They should get a room and work that out!

What Samsung has done in the past with kernels and recovery is child's play compared to the locked bootloader. It would take a vulnerability exploit or a signed key unlocked bootloader to root that unless Samsung reverses its position. They just don't own mistakes that way. Even if it's a path to destruction, Samsung will march on like a soldier.
I personally think they've come to a place where they can willingly accept the loss of a few that can't do without root. Sad; Sprint and T-Mobile claim Samsung did this. Samsung claims all carriers in US wanted locked bootloaders.

going to back up my phone and give this a flash, i was going to anyway mine as well update a day early i guess

Just for what it's worth, my moto DX2 was rootable via an exploit of charging mode however to this day the bootloader remains locked down. A locked bootloader is no joke.
Also flashed the PC1 baseband via odin have to say it looks like my connectivity had improved markedly.

I could careless about the bootloader if they get root though. Which they have done before. Root but locked bootloader...I don't really modify much other then remove some stupid bloat and add in xposed for Amplify+Greenify. I can live without those things. I'd just like to be able to ditch the bloatware.

root PK1 on sprint available?

I've been out of the game for a while and now I feel all stupid and ****. I've been searching the forums to root the new s7 we got last night but all I'm seeing is it must be on PE1. I haven't found anything about rooting a PK1. Can it be done? Have I just overlooked it? I tried to root using SM-G930P Root - Updated 10/25/2016 but I can't get the downloads to work. Every time I click the the blue download button, I get stuck in a spam/ads pop up loop. So I gave up and went looking for more info on rooting the PK1. Thanks guys!

I am also looking for this information as I recently purchased this model. The forums seem to suggest that you need to begin on the PE1 firmware, but information is unclear on whether a downgrade is possible.

You can downgrade to PJ2 but nothing before that. PJ2 is rootable, however you will lose voice and SMS.

I haven't yet put a SIM card in in it. I assume that doesn't make a difference? I saw the below, but wasn't sure if you could avoid the phone and text issue by not putting the SIM card in for the first time until AFTER it's rooted:

Someone who has solved?

can't downgrade firmware
I've been trying to root this phone (SM-G930P) for about 2 months now. Unfortunately I accepted an ota to what I believe was the PJ2 firmware shortly after getting it. Now I'm on PK1. I tried multiple times to downgrade to PE1 without any success. I believe it's a bootloader issue. I've successfully rooted the g935a for a coworker without a problem and was hoping this one could be rooted using the same method just flashing a different Eng Boot image of course. But samsung is not providing us a way to unlock the boatloader, which is basically like selling someone a car with the hood locked and even though they now own it legally, telling them they're not allowed to modify or even touch the engine.
Guess I'll just have to wait until someone finds a working method or I get fed up and switch to a Google or HTC device...

Most roots released for the devices are "sboots" and are not meant to be used daily..
many roots for these devices are for unlocking/frp removal uses

Depending on what firmware you're on, it's a stable root. If you're on bootloader 3 and on APE 1 then it's fine, but bootloader 4 is difficult to root and not have issues. When rooting you obviously lose access to apps that don't allow rooted devices to use it such as snapchat, pokemon go, samsung pay, etc, etc.....

I am right there with you !!!! I have been working so hard to try to figure out why after the flash of their Engineering Boot file, that my mobile data network options disapear and i cannot get on a mobile network. Ive even paid for the app to unlock the device and it still will not let me turn it on. The options are completely gone. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how to fix it, please let me know! I am still waiting for idoneapps to respond to this issue.

Damn, that sucks, did you get a refund? and yeah it always happens right after the Engineering boot file. Somehow my data was activated like the 6th time I rooted the phone, I'm pretty sure it was the lines I changed on Build.prop but the calls were not working.

Not yet. Still waiting to see what they say. Did you get it to finally work?

Root Discussion\Progress

Wanted to create a official thread to keep track of any possible root progress for the Snapdragon Note 8-

I think I saw link to engineering software in another forum and if that is right, there is a good chance we will have root, however it took quiet few months from the time engineering software was found, to getting the root on s8. Either we learned from S8 and will have root soon, or things changed again and we'll need to wait few months. I'm taking bets now.

Hope we get root. Just about when the S8+ got root, I upgraded to this Note 8.
Hope it doesn't take 6 months to get root too.

Seem to be old news and people are already working on it

Kind of related to root. I was going to install BK package disabler, and when running it you have to agree to SE auto update nonsense from Knox. Sounded like it might interfere with root in the future, am I off base with this? Still on the fence with rooting this, but if it becomes available, I at least want to have the option.

Oh I'm definitely need this beast rooted and cleaned up and given a makeover but it's not horrible without and I've rooted every device I've owned since the g1 dropped within hours of getting it lol this is going on what 13 days...... NEED ROOT lol

even the LG V20, which i bought JOD when it came out, everyone then said it was unrootable and the bootloader is locked, 4 months later, even the vzw version has twrp .

I think it's a matter of getting raw firmware. HTC used to make the firmware public. Once the firmware was available we were able to start breaking code.

Here is more info about root https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-discussion-snapdragon-note-8-models-t3670091
The dev is really good he archived LG v20 root and unlock bootloaded for all carrier so is the only hope for now

Curious here too.

Still working flawless. On android 9.0 still unocked. All i do is pop in which sim card i want to use.dont have to change anything. It restarts and even puts the boot animation and carrier apps of which sim card i have in. On to rhe phone. And automattically sets the correct apn

Yup.

Check out my speeds. I get like 45 50 mbps down on sprint and 120-150 on tmobile crazy

alright. so i want to say i went this route as well. i have 3 months left on my sprint contract.that being said, i have the files he used during the unlocking process. the problem is there is another thing he did to actually unlock it. he used something called flexihub while it was in the combination firmware to actually do something on his machine that i couldnt see. this is something he did on the modem level, but i confirmed with him that it doesnt matter if i flash another firmware using odin, my sim will still be unlocked. i have tried this with verizon sim and it works. again, my contract is not up with sprint yet, which means my device shouldnt be unlocked, but this somehow works. if anyone else wants this, here is the ebay seller link that i got mine done within an hour. keep in mind that you have to back up your device, because what he does is flash firmware. also he will need access to your computer to work remotely, but he never strayed from what he was doing. for 7 bucks, this is a steal.

Android 11 decreased my SOT by close to 2 or 2.5 hours. Wanting to flash back to Android 10 (HELP)

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

You won't damage your phone if they mismatch, probably only carrier settings would break

But the link I gave according to that you are having Verizon as the carrier and you are living in the US when you got force OTA update then it’ll match.

That's if you can go back.
Doesn't 11 update the boot loader version too?

Well yeah now that you mention it probably.

Hmm, but there should be a way of degrading the software even so.

I'm still running Pie. It's what I've been seeing here about the 11 update updating the boot loader too. Maybe that's OTA upgrades only.
Not a concern of mine though.
Data loss is a given... at least be prepared for it.

Yeah, I agree since I'm still running 10 Idk really about bootloader changes from 10-11.
But if that's the case then Its probably impossible to downgrade without getting a bricked phone.

Doublecheck the bootloader version code of both versions of android so you don't brick your phone.

This is starting to sound too risky I do appreciate everyones help on this post honestly but at this point I am not going to risk messing up a $330 phone. But thank you all for making things clear.
