How can I UNROOT Sprint Note 7?

Hi all,
Tried figuring out how to unroot the note 7 but no luck
samsung plus is detecting it and i cannot download updates
I only rooted so i can unlock the phone
any help?
SOLVED:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/sm-n930p-stock-odin-firmware-t3444733
Launched ODIN and did only AP first, phone crashed and had a strange error screen. Then did the other three and the phone asked for a factory reset then started working.
The unlock STAYED
The device is able to get updates and everything seems to work fine including Samsung Pay
Only issue is that the hotspot does not show in the settings at all. All hotspot apps fail.

Also, does anyone know if the unlock will hold after returning to stock? Considering it's probably a soft unlock.
I want to be able to use all samsung services normally. as well as download updates and install them.
Thanks!

[Completed] OTA Updates after Root

Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!

Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!

I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1

Galaxy s7 freezing

Hey guys, when the nougat was online, i flashed the btu version on my phone, i had some issues with it so i downgraded to MM but since then some apps such as: Samsung Members, Samsung Pay won't uninstall and the phone freezing alot and sometimes it gets extremly hot ( i can't even touch it ). and disabling app drawer option isn't availble anymore.
my question is how to get rid of these apps and restore my phone as i got it the first time ?

Flash Marshmallow again with ODIN, but use CSC instead of HOME_CSC, that will restore the phone to factory settings

Costum binary blocked by FRP lock

Hi All
I have an S7 Exynos with latest Magisk installed and everything has been working flawlessly till I decided this early morning, for not any particular reason(except my increasing amount of grey hair ), to lock the "developer options". I think I have done the same maybe a couple of years ago though cannot remember how I had solved it.
Obviously my phone was instantly locked.
Would someone be able to link a good working solution with being able to keep data and apps? I am a bit desperate as my work is starting again tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.

look at frp bypass

Costum binary blocked by FRP lock is a protection, whene you do a factory reset from recovery. the only way you get this message is with odin.

this one works for me on s7, s7 edge and s6 tab

Thanks @Dagobert
I will have a look at it now and see if it is not too scary. See my S7 FRP

Do you have acces to the phone?

If you have acces to the phone then backup your data do a factory reset. Then you can flash whatever you want. Frp lock is a google protection with a google account. Whene you do a factory reset from settings you wipe the frp.

I have access to the phone via PC/Odin only. No booting as per image above. I wand to keep Data and Apps
I assume I have to flash stock with home csc to be able to enter the phone again? Then root again, if I so wish?

Yup. Maybee a long shot but try Flashing your former firmware with Odin, using HOME_CSC. I think thats the solution

Help! How to flash without losing data?
Good day! My phone got stuck on breathing Samsung logo after my phone updates. Now the only option I have in mind is to restore factory data. But I have some important files in my phone that is very essential in my work. I know I have read that...
forum.xda-developers.com

hmm., done the flashing with the files plus home csc and it asks for password, which I have entered without success. I know the password and it justs does not accept it.
See the factory reset warning and the FRP lock still being on now.
I'm desperately trying to avoid wipping data and apps.
edit: unfortunately I had to format/reinstall as I could not find a workable option.

Question Return to Stock?

Good Morning Everyone
As the title suggests, i am looking to return my S22 Ultra back to stock.
i was on beyond rom for a bit, but too many apps complaining that my device was rooted has forced my hand to return my device back to stock once again.
I flashed the stock rom via odin, then locked my bootloader and wiped all data.
However i am still getting messages that my device is modifed.
Anyone got any ideas how to can truely return to full stock?
Thanks in advanced.
And yes i did do a search on the internet before asking, but i have been unable to find any advice outside of what i have already done.

happend to me, too. But only on the latest firmware. When I flash an older firmware, it won't appear. But after updating again to the latest ROM the message appears

Cheers mate. I'll give that a go.

Also note that if the device was rooted then you triggered the Knox flag and that one CANNOT BE RESET, it's an "efuse" (a hardware component that once changed it's state can only be reset by replacing it, i believe you need to replace the entire motherboard for that).
So, if the application checks the Knox status it will fail.
Here are a few apps that i know that will not work anymore :
- Knox itself (and any app that uses the Knox library/API )
- Samsung Pay
- Samsung Health
- Secure Folder
A few years ago I also had a banking app that failed to worked with a Knox flag triggered (on a Note 8), but after an update it allowed me to use the phone as long as i didn't have it rooted.
