[Video] Note7 Restoration - Repairs, Charge Limit Removal, Safe Battery

[HughJeffreys]

Just dropped a video that I thought the Note7 community would enjoy.

I got ahold of two Galaxy Note7 phones from the US; Note7 Silver N930A & Note7 Black N930V.
While I have yet to fix up the N930V, I have got my AT&T model fixed and it's up and running, replaced the cracked screen, installed a safe 3200mHa battery, installed a new back (was missing), removed the 60% charge limit, blocked updates with the shield and had the device unlocked from AT&T.

The Black N930V Note7 has no charge limit and is already unlocked, however I need to replace the display and back. The battery % is displayed incorrectly so I believe this might be a board level issue however I will try flashing it at some stage to see if the problem fixes itself.

Both are replacement Note7 units on the "Green Battery" update.

I also just purchased a broken NoteFE which I will be fixing too.

Will be daily driving this N930A as soon as I transfer my things to it, used it for a week prior to repairing it. (That 60% limit was a killer)

Thanks to the team who created Shield X, and to Chance Mushinski for helping me out, now I can safely connect my Note7's to the internet and 4G, LOVE IT!

It looks good, and watching your video inspired me to move the v2 method over to our the new app in the Play Store so now Note 7's can enjoy the new app.

I am fixing the instructions for rooting the Note 7 but you should check that our as well. Our team member OnThe7thDayBOOM spend countless hours developing this ROM. It works for Snapdragon variants WITH locked bootloader AND if your note has the 0% battery update it fixes that.

Awesome,
I am not looking to root any of my Note7's. They don't have any charging limits so I don't see the need.
But if I come across one with the 0% limit I would give that route a go.
