This is accomplished by using package disabler if you have not already found your answer.

Trying to 'fix' a Note 7 that now has the 60% cap firmware, but I have no experience rooting. I have jailbroken iPhones though and can follow instructions. Is this the repair assistant I need? (Newbie and can't post urls yet... hence the extra spaces).

verizonwireless . com/support/knowledge-base-80201/

Also, where would I find the Odin tar for my phone (Verizon Note 7)?

the vzw repair assistant should revert you back to the phe green battery firmware unless they uploaded the latest already.. if it works you need to disable sdm.apk to block updates or else itll forve you onto the 60% update.

you CANNOT root at this time once it was on the phe firmware

Question. If I just received the install now or later message, is it too late to try to block/reject it with the package disabler pro?

yeah, as Elliwigy said.. following any root procedure with semi brick you like it did me. BUT!!! the verizon software repair tool will get you back to moments before the firmware upgrade. If you could quickly install package disabler pro and block the update, then you're good.

No, it's not too late. And even the latest versions on the store are capable, they just do not have the packages listed so you have to do a manual entry. I did mine yesterday after receiving the update notice.

If it's not too much trouble, could you please list the files you disabled that are required to get rid of this message?

 

[everychicken]

Can you provide some more specific instruction on

1) How to use the Verizon Software repair tool. Is it pretty straight-forward or is there something special I need to do?

2) How to use Package Disabler Pro to block the update.

Thanks

very straight forward. Just choose the repair option. I'm still trying to get rid of the message. Will provide info when I complete it.

I disabled these two: com.samsung.sdm and com.sec.android.soagent since we are talking about Verizon here. They do vary by carrier.

Number 1 was covered.

Number 2 is also very easy especially for anyone that can read between the lines sort of on Play app descriptions but clearly looking at the reviews this is difficult for some. PDP used to list all the packages. If you find an older version, 6.3 or before it will show all present in the list, later versions do not due to Google Play and Samsung pressure. If you get it right from the Play store (I think the dev deserves the $.99 Pro or $1.49 Pro+) you will need to use the Manual disable in the menu and enter the package names I've already given above as long as you are indeed on Verizon.

I just realized we rather strayed from the OP's topic here so I hope this is useful for people.

Thanks Bro!!!! Definitely worked for me and removed that annoying install now or later prompt

Guys. Anyone knows if there is a VZW port available? Everything I found is International version.

Thanks in advance.

port for what? this is a vzw specific thread lol

 

[Sczar]

I know its a vzw specific thread thats why I asked here lol.
What I meant. Is there a thread gor a vzw port to other devices? Like Note 7 International its been ported to N3, N4 and N5.

I am trying to find a vzw N7 to port to vzw N3. That was my concern. ????

My wife accepted her OTA update recently and now has the 60% capped battery restriction. She isn't worried about rooting, but wants to get rid of the battery cap. Given Tmunroe's success of reverting back to the 100% battery by using Verizon Repair Assistant, should I be able to just plug her phone in and revert it that way, or do I need to go through the process like he did by trying to root it, semi-bricking it, and THEN using the repair assistant? I'm thinking I should just be able to use the software to revert it back to PHE w/ 100% battery. Thoughts?

i know lol.. if there was a port itd be in the N3 section.. they wouldnt put a N7 port for other devices in the N7 thread..

to answer your question i highly doubt it unless theres still devs putting in work on the N3 lol

Tried to ROOT after PHE

I got lazy and didnt do my homework about the PHE update, and tried to root my note 7. (big surprise, it didnt work) and now it's soft bricked. It failed while flashing in Odin. The phone goes to the update screen, then fails, and takes me to recovery. I cant use any of the functions, just get a lot of fails and errors. I hadn't read about the bootloader being locked, yeah I'm aware I'm an idiot for not properly researching first. (don't be too harsh)
Is there a way to flash it back to the PHE? Or am I stuck with a paperweight and its time to trade it in with the recall program?
Thanks
