Thanks for your work. I have been running yesterdays Modification with only a periodic vibration when its in my pocket. I am using your work on a Verizon Note 7 with an Alaska GCI SIM card. GCI roams on T-Mobile so logically your post was of great interest. My goal was simply to get mt Gear S working and it does now along with WIFI Tethering and other stuff as a bonus. I stopped short of the Modem and Knox assuming that my GCI SIM will never VOLTE. Does anyone have a good reason to flash DE-KNOX as it will certainly kill an updated S Health?

This guide assumes you have adb set up properly.

Step 1: Download the Super SU zip for Note 7: sun7.zip

Step 2: Extract sun7.zip to a folder with your adb. Those of you who have installed adb globally can extract the sun7.zip anywhere. There should be 4 files in the folder and that folder MUST be labeled "sun7"

Step 3: Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.

Step 3a: When typing in the commands do not inculde the "Quotemarks".. , but make sure you type everything inside those quotemarks...

Step 4: Verify standard root access by typing "adb shell" then "su" If successful, type "exit" twice to get back to the command prompt.

Step 5: Push the sun7 folder to your phone by typing "adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su"

Step 6: Change permissions of contents in su to 777 by typing "adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*"

Step 7: Launch adb shell by typing "adb shell"

Step 8: Change directory to su by typing: "cd data"

Step 8a: Change directory to su by typing: "cd local"

Step 8c: Change directory to su by typing: "cd tmp"

Step 8d: Change directory to su by typing: "cd su"

Step 9: Gain standard root privileges by typing "su"

Step 10: Execute the SU script by typing "./root.sh"

At this point, the script will install SuperSU, set up root, and reboot automatically. Once booted back up, SuperSU should be in your app drawer and should work.

Alright alright, some notes from what I've experienced thus far. The step where it was said that you would see the bbx and system.img file? I didn't see them on the phone and that's ok. Let's make sure everyone understands that you're putting those two files in the ROOT (no folder) of your sdcard because the linux commands call for running those files from the root of your sdcard. ALSO, when initially booting after flashing in the bootloader and modem files at the end, you might not see anything. When mine was initially booting, I had a blank screen BUT I did hear the T-mobile chime so I let it run it's coarse. The initial boot won't be as long as the Sprint eng. ROM but be patient.

This is linux syntax, so everyone, check, double check and triple check what you're typing. There's so many ways you can mess up but this process does work. I can definitely vouch that I'm already booted and about to side-load supersu.

These guys are making things as easy as possible so just follow instructions and know that it does work. If you're getting an error, something (or someone) messed up.

Good job, gentlemen. Good damn job.

@OvrDriVE nice work bro.........

actually the deknox/debloat thing will remove gear. and all kinds of other stuff so if it is working for you i wouldn't mess with it

Before i do anything i have downloaded everything... I just want to make sure when i get to the next step all i am doing from the sprint page is downloading there IMG and flashing it thats it i do not follow all the steps on there page correct please correct me if i am wrong if i am not i would place that in the OP so people are not confused when they do this.... The steps have gotten easier to read there is just alot of them which is no biggy just lets be as clear as we can leaving nothing out. IE like a Windows to an Apple user...

Step 2 as well for the Ext SD can we make a folder for this or does it all have to go into the root directory?

ok, as stated in step 3 you need to d/l the sprint firmware from freeza's post. the only other thing you will do from his post is the root steps and that is done in step 12. nothing else.

as far as sdcard goes the files need to be in the root of your extsdcard. this is to avoid having to change the paths in the adb commands you do. i did it this way to simplify it for everyone.

Okay i have done everything by the book what am i doing wrong?

considering we are loading this from your extsdcard. it all depends on how fast it is as to how long it takes(remember also that the file we are doing is 5.7gig in size so it is bound to take a bit for those wondering, just be patient it will finish). it's done here in like 3 minutes. but i also have the 256gig sdcard. so.
great, enjoy it man
