[MENTION=815836]balikbayan[/MENTION] , please, answer- your answer is reference for me:

In the moment I have hong kong a9000.

To root and install twrp I was forced to unlock bootloader by crom service (your manual page4). Then successfully rooted and twrp.

Now I must install stock odin hong kong firmware (SAME as it is in phone, new has not appeared all the time).

Key question is will this crom unlock produce effect that odin flash will fail?

If hopefully not, is odin stock flash re-lock bootloader, cancel crom work?

thank biggest as possible.

please answer this, if will fail I do not know what to do with phone...

thanks a lot
[General Questions and Answers] balikbayan:
Bootloader unlock does not affect the ODIN.

Bootloader is not locked again, if flash the stock ROM in ODIN.

Hi, here is the tutorial I found on the web to root galaxy a9 and a9 pro.

So try it yourself and let me know the result.
[General Questions and Answers] arthurf100:
Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum and I will say first off that I am a newbie and this is the first time I have tried to "root" a phone :).

I will therefore apologize in advance for my stupidity and ignorance that is sure to surface.

I have read this entire thread but admittedly am still slightly confused and unsure of what to do. I am also scared of "bricking" my phone or causing a problem to my phone that will be difficult to fix.

Allow me to first outline my personal situation:

- I own a Samsung Galaxy A9, purchased in China.

- ALL I want to do is access Google apps on my phone (so whether this means I must root it or not, I don't mind)

- I just want to do this the easiest and safest way possible.

I have read the previous posts giving a step-by-step of how to do this, but due to my ignorance I have met hurdles along the way.

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me exactly what I should do, in simple terms, and the files I ought to download, in order to successfully use Google apps on my A9.

My phone: Samsung A9.

Model number: SM-A9000

Android version: 6.0.1

Baseband version: A9000ZCU1BPE2

If anyone read, I thank you for your time and hope I have included the necessary information to warrant a reply. Hope to hear from you soon and good day.

I think I have an idea but I can't find where to download the files I need

- Samsung USB Driver

- CF-Auto-Root

- and some others.

Sorry, I'm a complete noob to this so I'm asking for patience :highfive: sorry

[General Questions and Answers] krasCGQ:
USB Driver

CF-Auto Root

Short briefing:

1) Download and install USB Drivers.

2) Extract CF-Auto Root. It includes Odin, too.

3) Reboot your phone to Download Mode by combination of Power+Home+Vol(-) button and proceed by using Vol(+), then connect to PC.

4) Open Odin, select AP, then select CF-Auto Root tar.md5 file.

5) Tap on Start.

It should automatically root the device and trip Knox.

About TWRP, no idea since it's unofficial version made by Chinese developer.

How to flash HK firmware, root, install Xposed framework

Download Odin. It's said that v3.09 is the most stable.

If you come from China firmware, you should flash the HK version of pit file to re-partition first. Otherwise, skip to step 6.

Download View attachment A9XLTE_CHN_HK.zip and extract.

Open Odin and make sure it looks like this:

​

Turn off your A9000. Hold volume-down, home and power buttons together to boot into download mode. Once it shows "Warning" in the blue screen, release all the buttons. Follow the instruction on screen and press volume-up to continue. When it shows "Downloading", the phone has successfully booted into download mode.

Connect your phone to PC with data cable and click "Start" in Odin. The phone will reboot automatically when the flash process completed, and it may stuck on the splash screen. Don't be worried and just go on.

Download the latest HK firmware from Updato. The model number of Samsung A9000 is "SM-A9000". Just searching "A9000" will also be OK. Extract the downloaded zip file and you'll get ONE .tar.md5 file. (For more details about Updato, see here.)

Click "Reset" in Odin and make it look like this:

​

Reboot into download mode again like in step 4.

*If your phone stucks in the splash screen as said in step 5, holding all 4 buttons (volume-up, volume-down, home, power) will make it reboot. Here comes the tricky: while the splash screen is turned off, release volume-up and power buttons at once, and you'll see the "Waring" screen. Press volume-up and get into download mode.*

Connect your phone to PC with data cable and click "Start" in Odin. The phone will reboot automatically when the flash process completed.

The first logon will take some minutes. Be patient and wait. Now you get HK firmware flashed.

**If the phone stucks on the splash screen, just hold all 4 buttons (volume-up, volume-down, home, power) and make it reboot. While the splash screen is turned off, release volume-down and power buttons at once, and it will boot into recovery mode. Follow the instructions on screen, and perform a factory reset. After that, reboot the phone and it will boot into system. Remember the first logon will last long.**

If you want to flash TWRP and root, go on with the following steps.

Search and install "CROM service" in Samsung Galaxy App store on your phone. Run and unlock the bootloader.

Reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash View attachment A9000-TWRP-PA7.tar (by xiaolu).

​

Turn off your phone. Hold volume-up, home and power buttons to turn on the phone into TWRP. Flash Chainfire's SuperSu v2.76 and you'll get your A9000 rooted.

If you want to install Xposed framework, go on.

Download the latest version of Xposed for Samsung Marshmallow (SDK23|ARM64).

Reboot to TWRP. Flash the Xposed framework downloaded in the last step.

Reboot to system normally. Install Xposed Installer.

That's all.

Sorry for another question, but all I want is Google Play Services so i can get back the Play Store and a few apps that I can't now get (because I have no Google services framework, bought this A9 in mainland China)

So should I just follow the first step? Do I need to worry about TWRP? (Dont even know what that is)

Basically I'm a noob looking for the easiest fix.

Thanks !!

this opens door for porting apps from newer devices (even I do not like ux grace ui- I am rare in this)...

[MENTION=7396657]arthurf100[/MENTION] Which step were you in?

First flash HK's pit to re-partition, and then flash the latest HK firmware. It seemed that you combined two steps together. I haven't tried that way, so I don't know whether it will succeed or not.

[MENTION=7396657]arthurf100[/MENTION] I've improved the tut. You can have a try again.

It seems that Marshmallow HK firmware doesn't work well with China Telecom UIM cards. The cellular network (LTE) works well but can't make phone calls (CDMA). I haven't tried China Mobile or China Unicom SIM cards.
[General Questions and Answers] arthurf100:
Thanks so much, I got it done.

I'm China Mobile and noticed no problems thus far.

One issue is with the app Tinder, I can download it but sometimes it logs me out and refuses to let me log back in so. I have to reinstall it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!

So when I try to sign in to tinder through Facebook it doesn't do anything when I hit sign in. Just a loading wheel and then that disappears and goes back to where I started.

Im gonna see if I can get either magisk or supersu working after I make a back up. If im able to get one of the two working then I will let you know.

ok, i redownloaded your zip then downloaded the su addon from lineageos and placed those files manually into system where they belong in the zip of the rom then opened up build prop and added the code line persist.sys.root_access=1 and then flashed. no longer need to dirty flash to have root.

so i i cleared data and cache. then i couldn't install. started reading through the forum and a guy said he wiped the system and it worked. tried that, didn't work.

so then i read some more and it said that i do need the md5 (wish it would have said md5 !anywhere! in the instructions). so my problem is i cannot push the md5 over. i keep getting error:closed.

adb devices - works

adb usb - error:closed

adb push - error:closed

adb sideload - fails to push

i have updated pltform-tools.

i have changed oneplus (two instances) in the updater script to A0001. as said in the op forums.

what else can i do? i feel like i am at a point of fastbooting the individual cm files and starting over. which.,... is probably going to be the fastest route.
