Galaxy Note7 Canadian N930W8 Isues

[KalKent257]

Hey everyone, i'm new here, and i have a few issues with my canadian Galaxy Note7. I recently got my hand on this phone, it was a non runner since i got it, it does not boot into android, recovery is not working, it just keeps restarting, i can get into download mode, but i can't flash any firmware via ODIN. Every time i get the same error SW REV CHECK FAIL : (aboot) Fused 3 Binary 2. How ( if possible) can i get the phone to work again? It's too good to give up on it. Here is my ODIN log, every time i try to flash a firmware on it.

What firmware you try to flash?

[KalKent257]

The only one that i can find for my device N930W8VLU2API3. Is there another?

[beowulf381]

The firmware you already installed have is baseband 3, and you try to flash a baseband 2 one.
This is prevented by Samsung with an e-fuse, so you can't flash a firmware with a lower baseband version.
(For the Canadian firmware the 10th character of the firmware shows the baseband).
You may try to find one with a "3" at the 10th position of the firmware name.

However, you can try this solution here to repair a snapdragon note 7 with a kill update installed:

I can't find any firmware that works, i tried the "repair a snapdragon note 7 with a kill update" and it's not working, same errors, i can't find any firmware newer than N930W8VLU2API3 for my note7. What else can i try?

[KalKent257]

Hey guys, i believe i found a firmware that might work for my note7, but i can't find a download link for it anywhere, it's N930W8VLU3APL1, can anyone help me?

[beowulf381]

Try this link to the firmware, provided by the author of the kill fix:

[KalKent257]

Thanks, I'll try it and report back if it works.

[beowulf381]

This will take you to a 15% charging firmware.

Our rooting specialist will provide a 100% for Canadian version soon.

[KalKent257]

It works, It only charges up to 15%, but still it's better than having a brick. I'll keep an eye out for the 100% version. Cheers

Just a quick question, can i connect to a wifi network or use mobile data without any concern that a forced update might cripple my device again?

[GhostGH]

If you don't use any guard (Shield, root or something else) you can try and we will know :)
But I read somewhere that Sams still push the update

[KalKent257]

Oh, terrific, happy to be the guinea pig :) :). Not so keen on rooting, i'l try a package disabler or Shield.

[KalKent257]

I noticed a few issues with this firmware, wi-fi and bluetooth don't work, if i put any sim card in, i see the network, but no mobile data, and i don't mean i can't use it, i can't find it, it't nowhere to be seen, either in the settings or anywhere, and when i try to make a phone call, the phone just reboots. Other than that it's fine.

[beowulf381]

With baseband 3 updates, wifi and bluetooth functionality was removed in Canadian versions.

If the patch will work mentioned above will work for you, you'll get back those functions.

By now you have at least a nice camera and media player ;-)
