[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlienSexGod:
I have still a day or so before OEM unlock comes back. I am confused on the sequence... concerned as soon as I turn OEM unlock on the same happens again.

Have Samesung set it up to wipe your phone as soon as you do OEM unlock?

How specifically did you escape this nightmare? The way I am reading this you flashed recovery before OEM unlock is that the case? I thought we needed OEM unlock first? Or maybe that is just for root?

P.S. Since I already turned on OEM unlock and then it forced my phone to reset and wipe maybe I already Have OEM unlocked? Can anyone confirm this is likely? If so this means after OEM unlock a reset and wipe occurs and the phone is OEM unlocked but the OEM unlock setting never reappears in developer options?

** UPDATE NEW INFO **

After a second 7 day wait for OEM Unlock to reappear I can confirm that after the forced restart and wipe that my OEM is unlocked but I couldnt see it till the unlock switch comes back 7 days later! Still while in this state I would get failed on Odin flash of TWRP. About to try again today.:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlienSexGod:
YOu mean when you boot into download mode it says "OEM Lock OFF"

After I turned OEM unlock on my phone was forced into a restart and a reset and when I go DL mode now I get the same "boot into download mode it says "OEM Lock OFF"" maybe this means OEM unlock is ON now we just cant see the switch anymore.

Is this the case anyone?

(I get fail when trying to flash TWRP however)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] benziii:
I was not forced into a restart when putting OEM unlock on. Only got the warning pop up and that was it (build number ----ARC5)

By the by, you have to turn the switch on (and usb debugging ofc) before you start flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] rsktkr1:
I have a SM-G965N (Korean version) and I had OEM unlock in Developer Options available. I turned OEM unlock on and the next time it rebooted I had to do a forced factory reset. Now in Developer Options under OEM unlock it says "Bootloader is already unlocked".
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlienSexGod:
Yes, mine somehow glitched out forcing a restart and reset :( Yeah I know it was meant to be on before flashing that why I did it and I am wondering if it is still on after the forced reset even though I can't see OEM unlock in dev opts. In download mode it says OEM Lock OFF if you put yours into DL mode does it says OEM Lock ON (with OEM Unlock switched on) if so that is reverse of how one would think it should be communicated.

Good to know. So the OEM Unlock switch was there straight after the reboot still (no need to wait 7 days?) I am wondering if it is still on after the forced reset even though I can't see OEM unlock in dev opts. In download mode it says OEM Lock OFF if you put yours into DL mode does it says OEM Lock ON (with OEM Unlock switched on) if so that is reverse of how one would think it should be communicated. I would make the phone says OEM Lock ON when the unlock switch is NOT turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] snooyy:
same model here, same story, after turning on OEM unlock the first reboot forced a reset, then after some system update a second reset, since then haven't had a reset yet, OEM unlock never went away.

still wondering how to root this phone, I'm really baffled here. also, all the files are named 965F, can I use those to root 965N (256G)? please help!

Where's OEM menu located?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] exocetdj:
I think its up on thier website :p

Seriously though you should probs do a bit of reading up on things before rooting.:)

But for usefelness sake its under dev options in settings
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Chornelius Yoshi:
I can't find devolver setting :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lysp:
Sorry, I only have a sample size of 1 - so not sure what was the cause.

The process was:

I hadn't put a sim in it yet, I OEM unlocked , and then installed the OTA update which rebooted and force-wiped on boot = 7 day jail.

As soon as the 7 days were up though, I instantly flashed recovery and the OEM fix, so hopefully never have to deal with it again.

With xposed, did you install the material DVDandroid version, or flash the standard rovo89 v90-beta3 via recovery?

That's the last piece of the puzzle for me.

Which SU version is the right one for 960F?

TWRP installed successfully (with cpefs error), RMM installed, verity installed - but SU doesn't seem to work. SuperSU-App says "not rooted".

Do we have to go with the different kernel???

thanks

SuperSu not working

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed instructions. I installed NEMESIS kernel for SuperSu access mentioned in one of the instructions(cant post outside link, due to XDA forum restriction), but it doesnt work. Nothing happens when I type su from my adb shell. Could you let me know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Surabhi

Known bug/issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] sprockettyz:
I am similar situation.

1. Oem unlock switched on in developer.

2. Twrp Flash IN Odin success. First time.

3. Didn't manage to install the additional flash for dm verity etc, and rebooted back to stock.

4. Tried to flash Twrp again. Failed, says can only install official binaries.

5. Going back to dev options, Oem unlock not visible. However in stock recovery it says Oem lock and Frp both OFF.

does this mean I'm in jail, and have to wait 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dilgit:
YES. Wait 7 days and than do it again exactly as explained in this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3IppGISkP0
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
Haven't seen a recent post by you on this, so was wondering if you got past this?

After having to recover my phone with stock firmware, i waited 7 days and and OEM was unlocked, but when trying to get past that, it forced a factory reset and if I didn't, OEM remained locked. In download mode, it shows as unlocked, but RMM state is Prenormal, son no ODIN'ing TWRP.

So am looking for a way around this - did you find one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] krusir:
I am still waiting for 7 days to see I can see "OEM Unlock" in development page. From my understanding, if the option appear and I pick to set it. It will force me confirm to do a factory reset. It will be tedious to do phone setup after that. Hopefully it will not be requirement. Let's see in a few days.

I will take the "reset" hit to be able to install custom rom. Will see.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
My problem that the reset left me with RMM statue Prenormal and OEM unlock setting gone.

So no way to Odin TWRP or flash anything.

Looking for a go around.

Full Disk Encryption

Is it possible to use full disk encryption based on dm-crypt with TWRP on the S9+ ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
I have had no problems technically when creating or restoring backups in TWRP. I have restored several backups and all works fine. It does take much longer than it did on my Note 8 - but everything works fine after rebooting.

When I do my backup - I check EVERYTYHING that is there except cache. I restore EVERYTHING that is there in the backup.

Done and Done. No Problems.

Is there any work being done to allow the Snapdragon S9 to use TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
That's the cart before the horse - need to do something about the bootloader, which has not been achieved for earlier devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ripgut:
The U variant of this device desperatley needs rooting.

The Samsung bloatware is stifling. The hardware on this phone would greatly benefit from an AOSP rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
@ jesec - I am writing to try to get past an apparent RMM issue.

I previously had followed your guide and had everything working and was trying out a number of the ROM's On the last one, I had problems with Super SU, and reflashed it and also the original RMM zip. The ROM would not boot, and on trying to get to TWRP, it was gone - along with OEM unlock in dev. options. In download mode, both locks were on, and RMM was Prenormal.

I ended up ODINing stock ROM, and apparently started the 7 day clock, After 7 days, OEM unlock showed up, so unlocked, but that led to its insisting that a factory reset be done, which resulted in RMM back to Prenormal, BUT both the unlocks show off.

I wonder if you can point me to the next step - which right now getting RMM back to normal without messing the locks up again.

In 7 days, will the RMM go back to normal, and if so - should I Odin from there (if the locks are still off), or will I have to risk OEM unlocking in Dev. mode and having it try to force another reset.

Since you appear to be the S9+ RMM expert, I hope you will be able to guide me on this.

If successful, does your new no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0 zip replace the RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa zip and the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0-star zips i had used previously?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] orrorin:
Not really, the Hong Kong and Latin American version have snapdragon and an unlockable bootloader.

I, too, would really like an official TWRP for the HK (0) variant :). Please let me know if I can provide any firmware dumps. Getting my G9600 in the mail later today.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] highaltitude:
Damn, so I booted to download mode, flashed with Odin, but it wouldn't go into TWRP. It kept coming up with the screen to reset device from hitting the OEM unlock in developer settings. Stupidly I booted up and hastily setup, now flashing in Odin fails, as the OEM unlock is gone again. Im sure I know the answer, but there's nothing I can do now for another week until the OEM unlock appears again is there? No app to find hidden menus or anything to try and find that OEM unlock option is there?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jesec:
Please check the new RMM state section of the guide.

It is normal for Samsung to force a reset when you toggle OEM Unlock option.

BUT DO NOT BE TRICKED. You SHOULD NOT complete the whole reset process. (reset, let it reboot, BOOM RMM Prenormal is back and you are in 7-day jail again)

Every reboot is a chance to flash TWRP or boot into TWRP. DO NOT ALLOW your device to boot into system before you boot into TWRP and flash the patch.

(Use "VOL-DOWN" + "POWER" + "BIXBY" to boot into download mode, "VOL-UP" + "POWER" + "BIXBY" to boot into TWRP, "VOL-DOWN" + "POWER" to force a reboot)

Then follow the guide.

There are two scenarios:

1. The device is registered to an enterprise, thus regulated by the policy of that enterprise.

2. The device is not supposed to be used by you. (demo device or stolen device)

Either way, I can't help you with this problem. Please contact your seller or company for assistance.

Yes you can. N has the almost same hardware as F. You should be able to flash any custom ROMs, Kernels, root solutions, etc branded for F on a N device.

But keep in mind that you still need to use N specific modem/baseband and bootloader so you can't flash stock ROM of F on N.

No, encryption is not supported and there is no plan to support it.

Samsung use proprietary hardware disk encryption methods. There is no way to support that without proper sources.

No. TWRP is not something that needs to be updated regularly. A thread title with recent dates may look great now but soon it will look like outdated as f*.

TWRP is meant to be stable not "updated Apr 12 with EXCITING XXX".

I don't have plan to support Snapdragon variant at this moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
I am waiting on my 2nd 7 days, and after getting OEM unlock back and unfortunately resetting, I ended up with both OEM and frp unlocked off but Prenormal on. TWRP was gone also.

If I keep checking in download mode at the end of the 7 days, should I see RMM normal and the locks still off?

If so, I will start with ODINing TWRP and then your new zip immediately.

What is still not clear here is what to do when OEM unlock shows up and TWRP is not available. If reset is done, 7 days again - but what are the other options at that point ?

I am hoping for me now the above will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] krusir:
My first attempt failed. I wait for 7 days, seeing OEM Unlock show up. It force me agree to "RESET" device if I want to set it. OK, go for it. So the phone boot up in like new status. I turn it off. Use key combination to put it to Download mode.

./heimdall flash --RECOVERY ./twrp-3.2.1-1-star2lte.img

I do see it did download trwp to phone. However, phone see full bar but stuck there. heimdall report flash recovery successfully and something like disconnect failed.

Use key combination to bring up recovery. However, the recover is the factory recovery. TWRP did not get installed. Reboot back to phone OS, OEM unlock is gone.

Tried again with Windows PC. ODIN also report failed. ( OEM unlock is gone since first try/reboot )

I am thinking should I try again 7 days later when I have OEM unlock again.

Thanks dev for awesome job I have successfully flashed the twrp and have turned off that stupid rmm state after waiting for 7 days now I want to root my device.

Appreciate some clarity.

Thank you in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
After reset, in download mode, RMM was probably Prenormal like mine was. So then you can't ODIN or otherwise install TWRP. Do another 7 days, and you should be right where I am above. If you unlock and it doesn't try to force a factory reset, then you are home free, but if not......
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] krusir:
It is a pain for 7 days oem unlock jail. I recall there is no such think when I have S8+. Also S8+ does not ask for factory reset when I did oem unlock.

I hope my 2nd try next week won't ask me to do factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] metal450:
When booting into TWRP the first time (part 2 #2), the instructions say to select "Keep /system RO." What about the second time, before installing dm-verity (between part 2 #4 & part 2 #5)? RO again?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] muhammadshais:
It'll ask again what u need to do is when u press okay the phone will restart at that moment u have to enter download mode and flash twrp. Its better if u check before turning the oem unlock on that there is no rmm prenormal in download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] krusir:
A-ha, new TIP. I should use the key combination to get into download mode right after I click OEM Unlcok. I wait until it boot back, and register with my 2nd google id, and found there is no more OEM Unlock option.

Hello all! Long time no post. Hope all is well.

So I'm looking to get a new android device soon but unfortunately I've no idea which one. Currently I have the Samsung galaxy j3 emerge and I'm a Samsung fan so I've been looking at those. I've come up with a list of things I'd like it to have (feature wise) so if you can give me recommendations based on this, it'd be amazing.

Requirements:

-Carrier: unlocked or able to be used on virgin mobile (I think almost all sprint phones can be. Correct me if I'm wrong)

-Nfc

-Amoled screen

-Latest Android

-Custom roms

-5ghz wifi support

-SD card slot

-Ir blaster (maybe. Optional but would be nice)

-Headphone jack (also optional I suppose. Can't believe I have to say that lol)

***Less than $500 USD***

If there's anything that might match this, or really close to it, that would be amazing. Also, will take other good recommendations as long as below $500.

Thanks guys!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Daryl18:
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ were recently updated to Android Oreo, and among its new features includes a full band selector (replacing the old service menu that was disabled with the security patch of November / 2017)

This mode lets you choose a specific network (as does the test menu in AOSP) and also choose a band specified within all supported.

Now, the only known way to enter this menu is through an activity manager (Nova Launcher or Quickshortcutmaker for giving examples) and look for the com.samsung.HiddenNetworkSetting app

When you find the activity, you must execute it and the next window will appear:

https:// imgur .com/a/61DJo

Where you can choose the network mode. If you open the side menu, you will see the other 2 options (Band Selection and 5G SA Mode) then select "Band Selection" and the following will appear:

Here you can choose the available bands, and then activate the slider that says "Selection". In this way, the band chosen as the default (Remember that if you select only one of the bands, you will not have CA)

I remember again that this method only works with builds based on Android 8.0 Oreo (RAP or RB7)

I remember again that this method only works with the builds based on Android 8.0 Oreo (RAP or RB7) and I do not know if it will work on other models besides the international variants of the Galaxy S8 or S8+ (SM-G950F / FD and SM-G955F / FD)

That is all! For now, I will be alert to possible doubts, but I remember that this app is only available through a hidden activity within the Oreo update, and I do not know if it will be maintained in successive updates. I will continue informing.
