Thank you very much dr.ketan!

It's working again! :)

All the best!

Different approach

This Guide didnt work for me but this worked:

0 oem unlock

1. Twrp 3-2-1 with Odin and WIPE

2. samsung encrypt 1.0

3. Rmm bypass v2

4.magisk v18.0

5.Rmm bypass again

6.reboot to system

Google Pay worked ok along with my banking app (hidden with magisk)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
There are two methods to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] orifori:
Is there any chance to avoid this point from the guide:

12.From TWRP, Select WIPE menu - Then FORMAT DATA - You need to type 'yes' to perform wipe. WARNING : This will erase all data including Int SD storage from device

I want to keep my apps and settings. Is there any chance to do it WITHOUT wiping or if I wipe - to restore all apps and settings (backed up by Titanium Backup and TWRP)?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] guastucci:
I did everything correct, but got stock in samsung welcome screen, and if I press any button, the phone goes off. Well, rebooted and lost de OEM option. In download mode it says that FRP is OFF em OEM lock e OFF. Do this means that I can try again or must wait another 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
Is prenormal back ?

Hi everybody

Great work like I said in my others post but still a doubt remains…with the phone rooted with this method and Xposed installed, will I be able to encrypt the device and the external SD card WITHOUT losing root and all the good things that come with it?

Thanks in advanced and season greetings to all!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
I had a problem with oem unlock option that it never appeared even after waiting for a month (no reboots - sim in - Samsung, Google accounts logged in), but luckily after flashing the beta one UI it appeared immediately after first reboot. I enabled oem unlock, the device asked for a reset so I did a reset, rebooted into download mode, tried to flash twrp and I get the error " only official binaries are allowed to be flashed".

P.S. RMM state has always been pre normal ( at the beginning when oem unlock was absent, after it appeared and after enabling oem unlock; it never changed ).

Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
Since you finally got it unlock, then the 7 days should have started.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
I guess this is the only thing I can do right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
Still after 7 days every thing is the same; OEM lock is off , RMM state is prenormal and I still get the same "only official binaries .........." Error when trying to flash TWRP.

Is there anything I can do? I mean having OEM unlock enabled has to mean that there's something I can do that can't be done when it's off.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm going to go back to oreo to see if that changes anything. My bootloader is already unlocked yet RMM is prenormal. I just heard today that you can't even reboot your device or it will reset the timer. I was under the impression the timer was reset only if you factory reset. I guess I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
You must have it enabled else you can't flash any non stock images e.g. Twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
It's enabled, and it has been enabled for the past 7 days, then I thought maybe RMM state would reverse to normal but it didn't. Now I still get the same error with OEM enabled and OEM lock shows both OEM and FRP lock Off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
I'm afraid if I went back, OEM unlock will disappear again

Rebooting effects nothing - Odin and factory reset does.

Unlock it and go to download mode right after doing so after selecting factory reset to avoing resetting prenormal.

Sorry if this has been asked already ,

Will this Guide work with the latest Official Pie Release ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
And flashing stock oreo then waiting 7 days didn't help. Is it possible to make a pre-rooted boot.img with magisk, flash it with Odin and then delete rlc app and other remote control settings?

Will the device realise that it's modified or can it pass ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

I've seen your similar guide for Note 9, and you mentioned there a pre-rooted stock kernel. Can something like that work for S9 + ? Will the device detect as a " non-official binary" ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Yes that will be considered as "custom Binary" and won't allow to flash with PreNormal status. So no practical value of that method. On N9 I have made when there wa no TWRP was available.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
Thanks for replying. It seems I might be trapped forever with RMM lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fjuniper:
I am new to the S9+ (I have a rooted and ROMd S7 edge) and I thought I had followed the instructions here to the letter.

I had OEM Unlock in developer options, so I toggled it on, did the reset and booted to Odin download mode.

I flashed the TWRP tar file in AP, and it failed with "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)".

In developer options, I no longer have OEM unlock.

Can someone please explain what is going on? I see references to waiting for 7 days, but I don't really understand what that is all about. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
You will have to wait on prenormal disappearing in 7 days. Watch in downloader mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fjuniper:
Thanks. So did I do something wrong? Or was this always going to happen and the clock only started ticking when I tried to flash something?

Seems ridiculous... Is this just Samsung being difficult because they have the power? Wasn't like this 2 years ago.

PS And what does "prenormal" even mean??

PPS I assume that the fact I have the Android 9 One UI beta installed makes no difference to this.

NOW MY PHONE G965f custom binary BLOCKED BY FRP
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
This has been discussed in the and other OEM threads since April. You will have to do some more reading as I would have to do to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fjuniper:
Getting very nervous about this... My G965F is now saying:

KG State = Checking (when it was PRENORMAL before)

FRP LOCK = OFF

OEM LOCK = OFF

Is CHECKING likely to change to something more helpful?

Do I still need to go to the OEM switch in Dev options before flashing TWRM in ODIN, then G96*_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V*.zip in TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
OEM lock off means OEM unlocking is enabled even if it was hidden, but if it's hidden it's probably because RMM state is prenormal which make OEM unlocking enabled useless.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
If prenormal is not there in download mode, you are ready to go - ODIN TWRP and then flash a rom on it that locks them all off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fjuniper:
Thanks very much for the helpful reply. My objective at the moment is just to get TWRP on and then Magisk root, so I wasn't planning to put a ROM at the moment. Hoping that the file that this thread is all about, will achieve that. Will have a go when I am home in about 12 hours.

V5 for Pie added

ChangeLog :

- Added support for S9+ (G965) PIE

- Updated Magisk to latest stable V18

- No more option for 'No root' as it won't serve any purpose and wrongly selected case it will cause bootloop.

The root using the uploaded version for pie is good but when i go to the system..i cant see the magisk..so i tried to unlock the developer option and i noticed that the oem is locked..but when i tried to unlocked it..

It just reset and restarted to the same and yet oem is still locked..

Any tips??

Welcome screen ?

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

Go to download and see if you see Prenormal. If you do, you will have to wait 7 days. If it's not there, then you are ready
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Forget about oem, it's because I have patched kernel and it gives full proof security about official binary error. If it is really unlocked then you might have got binary errors. For Magisk, download magisk manager apk and install as regular apk, that's it

Edit : I have uploaded magisk apk for pie to op, download and install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eyaw:

I see..

Ill try it then..

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SwampWTFox:
The screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S9+". I followed all the steps but the phone would hang at that screen (I waited at least 10 minutes) after system reboot following magisk installation. Ended up having to unroot with stock firmware.

Some parts of the guide I found confusing: After wiping data in Step 13 and rebooting, I don't go straight to twrp menu. I encounter a screen with a button to continue "read only". Other guides have mentioned this is because the phone's data is encrypted. Guide makes no mention of this screen appearing or what I should do to get past it. Other guides ask to install no-verity-opt-encrypt to remove encryption, and after reboot that "read only" screen doesn't appear.

FWIW this guide also mentions there is no way to bypass the 7 day wait period for OEM unlock, but in my experience that is not true using this method. I see that dr. ketan is active in the thread but the OP doesn't seem to be updated which makes the directions that much more confusing... I can't tell what information is up to date.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
You probably didn't follow the proper instructions to install.

It is imperative that you boot to twrp immediately after flashing TWRP from odin.

Auto reboot needs to be unchecked.

Check in download/Odin mode and if it says

OEM LOCK: OFF

then you're unlocked. The Dr. was referring to the OEM toggle in dev options being a glitch. If you were able to flash TWRP or anything in TWRP then you're unlocked.
