Best way to keep the Note 7 from being crippled?

[broderp]

Lots of talk about Software updates, carriers shutting down phones, limiting charging..etc....Is there one sure fire way to prevent any OTA updates to cripple our phones? Would rooting the phone and keeping the stock ROM (with modifications) work to help us keep our phones from being crippled? What if we installed a completely different ROM?

How do you stop the carriers (Verizon in my case) ? I currently have a message saying "System Update ready to install". I'm not installing it, and hopefully they can't make me. I'll let the message sit there until I have to return it.

I open to rooting, flashing a custom ROM, but I'd rather root and keep the stock ROM. What are my options?

If you haven't installed the update you can still block it. I'm in a fb group and several members have been succesful at stopping it. One even put a youtube video up

All this over a mobile phone? I can fully understand such groups being active about saving the planet or blah blah blah but a mobile phone? I can only speculate at this point and taking into consideration the trouble and problems in your cause that you must have an awful lot of free time......? You do realise that this device is even banned in hell? :silly: How can you live knowing you have to monitor where you use or travel with your 'mobile' phone? Irrespective of Samsung and the carriers trying to screw owners out of existence, the constant need to be aware of ones travel with a mobile phone would drive me potty! Ownership today of this phone must be like walking down the blade of a knife?

I guess it could be total dedication to the mobile....?

Or ......? I have no idea?

Any or all the above scenarios are time consuming and very myopic. In a few months a new S8 range will be introduced and some time within the next 9 months a new Note 8?

One thing for sure the Note 7 has reached cult status :good: :laugh:

Wow I miss my Note 7, fabulous mobile in every respect. Pig of a situation, absolute pig!

The phone wants to update, I keep pushing it off. I'll need to hop over to the website and see what they can do....

how to stop the update till they get us too.....

keep clicking update and dismiss until you get an update window without a dismiss. You then have 15s or so to power off your device or it will auto update. For those that had this autoupdate happen to you... this is how.

If you force it to that window when your looking. You have the opportunity to power off and break the update code. You get an error message on power up that states the update failed and to contact samsung. Power down again deny any reports sent. you may get one.. and this fixes the update.. till they figure it out and push it on us too!

Good luck fellow s7'ers screw apple. screw samsung for bowing to the US oligarchy/apple there is no better phone on the market currently #NoDowngrade

ALL THE BS IS UNREAL... whats next?
