[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] HighOnLinux:
I didn't like the newer UI on my S9, so i managed to find the good ol S8 theme pack that i'm use to. So anyways, battery life is really improved on the latest build of the firmware and since i unrooted my phone a couple of days ago, i managed to get good battery life just for flashing back to stock. I have everything on, NFC, GPS, Performance Mode, etc. No problems, no overheating, no problemo. But i might flash magisk back again :p

Is there still no way to root without tripping Knox, I'm a little reluctant to root my s9 because of the warranty and the fear of accidently losing my efs/iemi when using a custom rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
dont worry, there wont be any custom roms for a long time for this phone, if ever, and if you are afraid of the consequences of rooting, then dont do it
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Jigsaw Z.:
and why is that exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
do the research on recent samsung phones and you will learn why
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DaReDeViL:
Wow. Bags arrived here too ? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
So is the S9 Exynos confirmed to have locked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
Mines not locked (uk) however I may not root this phone as my s6 is rooted the only thing I really miss it the adblocker that requires root access (unable to write ipfw)

And the whole mods thing I am unsure about, suffice to say I am keeping this phone unrooted because it's not yet worth rooting I'm sure there will be mods in the future that allow tweaks but not for a year at least.

[MENTION=2564537]wase4711[/MENTION] I have all my other devices rooted, the rooting it's self is easy but the custom roms are unstable at best and if I lose my efs/cert/iemi it's gonna mess up being able to connected to a network as you probably know
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
I would think its obvious he was referring to the snapdragon.

Exynos will have the OEM unlock issue but that's far less problematic then a locked bootloader!

sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Yes obvious for Exynos... for now. He stated "this phone" without specifics so for a split second I thought that time had come.

One day Samsung will lock down everything or make it very hard but hopefully we won't see that in a while. The OEM lock issue is just another small step towards that as well as the encrypted cscfeatures.

Hopefully the OEM lock issue will be like the Note 8 & won't affect all of them. My Note 8 doesn't have the OEM lock issue & I'm glad, that would have drove me nuts!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
yeah, I thought it was obvious too, but, hey, what do I know!

Haven't bothered rooting my snappy note 8 yet, and, frankly, since there arent any custom roms, I doubt I will bother..

and, there is probably lots of software out there that backs up your EFS, so as long as you have a backup, you can rest easy at night..:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
Forgive me for asking but is the oem unlock not in developer settings for the note 8 that's where it is on the S series

[MENTION=2564537]wase4711[/MENTION] twrp and titanium are my usual apps but once Knox is triggered no more Samsung pay and health
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Yes that's where it is, the OEM lock issue is when it disappears & you have to wait 7 days before it reappears. They have figured out a work around for now but I'm sure the S9 & future Sammies will be affected too.

I personally could care less about Samsung Pay, TWRP/custom recovery is what matters to me the most. The Exynos Note 8 is the first time I purchased an international phone because of the Sanpdragon lockdown. Probably will buy international from now on it looks like.

You can get S Health functioning again. Just disable tima, simple build.prop edit. Most custom ROMs will have already have this done.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
Is the dissapearing oem an issue with just snapdragon or both the exynos(9810) and the snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Just Exynos, the OEM lock toggle is useless on Snapdragon if it even exists. But if it'll be the same as the Note 8, not all of them will be affected, will depend on what region you get it from as well as model.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
From s9 looks ok on mine.. and I'm sure the note is same firmware(ish)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Just seeing the OEM unlock toggle in Developers Options won't tell you if you may have the issue. You won't know until you flash custom binaries which is usually custom recovery as the first step. When you reboot after & if get soft brick with custom binaries error then you got the OEM lock issue. From there you would flash stock fw to get phone working again & will have to wait 7 days before OEM unlock toggle reappears.

If you don't see the OEM unlock toggle to begin with then you definitely have the OEM lock issue. It has to do with the Samsung Remote Mobile Manager anti-theft feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
I'll flash twrp and see what happens in the interest of testing. I suspect it will work for me and if it does you may be able to just flash my firmware and CSC (xeu) g960foxm1arb3
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Just wait until someone releases TWRP for the S9. Chances are they'll include instuctions on how to remove RMM so you won't get stuck in "jail" as they call it in case you do have the issue. If it were me I would probably just skip the RMM disable just so I know if my phone suffers from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] CuBz90:
Telling you something but never explaining why. That's what people do when they don't exactly know why, they just want somebody else to explain for them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] n-j-f:
I need to be educated, please. Assuming the S9 will be like previous Samsungs, rooting alone does not trigger Knox. It is changing the recovery to TWRP that triggers Knox. So rooting alone does not affect warranty. Is that right? If so, is there any point in rooting without anything else? I've rooted in the past and changed the recovery, mainly to get the benefit of nandroid backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paradoxxx:
If snapdragon, yes. If Exynos, you're wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pkdragonpk:
After a lot of testing I am no closer to finding a permanent solution to the dissapearing oem unlock, it was worth a shot.

Don't you need root for that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shouren04:
Yes but you flash that right after TWRP & root/no verity before rebooting. Without it you'll get the 7 day issue if your phone suffers from it.

But that is not possible without root right?

Is it safe to root without OEM unlock turned on?

The patch fixes the oem unlock dissapearing and you need to toggle that on to root your phone. I don't think the patch requires root but I'm unsure However twrp ain't caught up to the s9 yet, I tried to root mine and failed, we just have to hold out unless kingroot or queenroot can do it

So I think I got this right- someone please correct me if not...there is no generic android 'root kit', and we're waiting for some Wise Man to take delivery of their S9/S9+ and develop the root kit? My S9+ is on the way and I need to root it but have yet to do it (all my Android phones to this point have been company owned; I used to install custom ROMs on my Windows Phones back in the day, but don't hold that against me :) )

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] exothermic:
After having rooted phones since 2012, I've come to the conclusion that voLTE & Wifi-calling are far more important to me than having a exynos processor with root.

My AT&T S7 Edge makes crystal-clear HD-calls.

My rooted international S7 Edge sounds like your talking through two cans and a string lol.... keep your exynos.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
Sucks to have that problem, luckily for me calls on my exynos devices are crystal clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
It is AT&T's fault for not supporting standard GSM wifi calling and VoLTE.

Going to get Exynos S9 as Snapdragon is out of question without root and carrier/Samsung "forced" lack of choice to have unlocked bootloader. Hopefully TKKG or someone creates the VoLTE and WiFi calling package for Exynos for T-mobile US soon !
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] exothermic:
Do you have a rooted international variant with functional voLTE & wifi-calling --> with a US carrier plan?

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Tried installing a few of those packages with my S7. Good luck finding one that actually works.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Those WiFi calling and VoLTE ports worked well for my S7 and S8 Exynos. Looking forward to getting these to work on the S9 now. Mine is also dual SIM so that helps when I travel. Once Samsung screws up open bootloader on the international version, I will move on to OnePlus one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] exothermic:
Add video-calling to that list too.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] force70:
Hopefully a developer will be able to get all that working on the exynos.

There is already a rom out so looks like development may be pretty good for the s9

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Bobw55:
This has been a humorus thread to read. My unlocked S9 should be here today. Main reason I have rooted my other devices was to get rid of the bloatware and install ad blocking.

Never could get my ZTE Z987 to root, but it had plenty of memory, so I just disabled all the bloatware. I am hoping mine will come with the FM radio unlocked.

At some point I may root it, or atleast look for a way to install add blocking.

Going from a ZTE to the Samsung should be like going from a Cooper mini to a Cadilac.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Revontheus:
Hopefully a rooting method becomes available soon, then again the device is relatively new so it's just a matter of time.

Moto cam

You're Moto camera for Oreo now works great on Oreo roms that have went back to hal 1 instead of hal 3. I flashed the zip after flashing a Hal 1 rom and gapps. After going through the ROM setup wizard I let the camera app update through the play store and then open and set up the camera app. No FC, only issue which really isn't even an issue is camera tuner stops but from what I've read camera tuner is Motorola's way of updating camera firmware and wouldn't work on custom roms anyway so I just disable it.

Apologies if this a noob question but which ROMs have went back to HAL-1? I'm on the fence between RR & DU which are the only ones that have working volte for me but the camera is hit or miss and I'd prefer the Moto camera.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] tuxattack80:
No need for apologies that's a legit concern. I wish I had better advise for you but it's kind of a slippery slope at the moment. The latest RR build with working hal 1 worked very well with Moto cam but suffered from a deep sleep problem and would drain battery. The very latest du weekly intergrated some of the blobs from Albus for better hal 3 but broke something in plan stable camera2 and now you'll experience artifacts while taking pictures in low light conditions. One work around would be using on of the moded gcams but they're some what experimental at the moment and panorama, 1080 video recording and photosphere are broken. Nitrogen with hal 1 is very good alternative and you can use Moto camera with it just be aware that HDR mode will cause your phone to reboot so disable it and on you'll probably face issues with video recording where your video and audio don't play at the same time. So best advice I can give is if you need stable Moto camera with no video playback issues use a new lineage 14.1 (everything works except for 60fps recording which is broken on all custom non stock roms) if you love DU stick with the previous build and use camera2 or play around with gcams. There's other roms out there that have hal 1 enabled but they have the video recording bug and mileage may vary lol. So long story short pick what you like and learn to live with the bugs hahahaha! I'm more a fan of close to stock roms, so normal I'll stick with lineage, gzosp, and sometimes nitrogen but if you like a lot of customizations I may not be the right person to ask lol
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] JohnSmith8786:
Thanks for the quick reply, honestly it was more in-depth than I was expecting lol. I think I'll just have to suck it up with a modded Gcam until our developers get hold of official Oreo. Not a big deal just my OCD kicking in, thanks again for the advice ?
