That sucks. Sorry to hear. That's something I'm a little worried about since I haven't toggled my OEM Unlock switch on yet. Not sure if it was the timing between pressing the Enable confirmation button and the beginning of the factory reset, but looks like your 7 days should be up by now. Did the OEM unlock toggle return? If it hasn't, maybe you could try tricking the date. It worked for me here, but it doesn't seem like it works for everybody.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aussiesausage:
Yeah the OEM unlock has come back, and prenormal is gone, I'm a free man now ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shunsai:

guys any news on magisks ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] virags:
So i used this method to root, root via supersu works ( Yipeee and thanks OP ) but Camera doesnt work ( like a couple of others have mentioned here). I am on baseband BRE3 and Build BRE6 , can anyone confirm what I need to flash to make the camera work . If i flash BRE6.zip do i lose my root and OEM unlock and have to start all over again?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
ok i rooted it but camera dont work anymore anyone have same problem ?

i reverted to stock and it seems to work fine now, but the root breaks camera ?

seems this tread is dead ? havnt updated for months while magisks works
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Give me few minutes, updating zip to add magisk option.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
the beta works fine 16.7 , safetynet passed

the onlything you probaly should mention,

camera is not working after root , i dont find that back in discription
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Have you selected kernel option in aroma?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
what i did was

1. press next

2. agree > next

3. next

4. next

5. proceed with rom flasher and multitool

6. patch for oem option issue (just to be sure)

7. patched kernel

8. su root

but once phone setup is done camera didnt work so i reverted to offical (G965FXXS1BRF3) to check if it was hw failure and camera worked fine after that

i re-rooted, redid all steps again except i choosed no root and installed magisks 16.7 beta, and same efect camera again not reacahble, not even with 3rd party apps

dont know if im doing it workg or select wrong options
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
wait just 2 minutes, Have you stock ROM with you?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
yes i have stock rom that i downloaded
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Forget it, give me 10 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
take your time, if i can help to test i dont mind , i like to get camera isue sloved for everyone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Follow this

Download V4 zip from OP (i have uploaded few minutes ago) and copy to device

1.Download and Flash attached stock kernel

Don't reboot device at this stage, else it won't boot

2.Flash V4 zip but don't select for patched kernel option and select Magisk as root method

Report me back
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
just flash it over the old root ? or do i have to revert to stock again ?and redo all steps? because im on magisks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
No no nothing to revert, I have prepared stock kernel zip just you don't have to reflash again all. just follow from where you are, and yes better if you uninstall magisk manager from drawer (simply long press icon and delete)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
i can uninstall magisks with magisks uninstaller via twrp also i cat download kernel, get 500 error
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
May be XDA forum issue, wait give you mirror

Simple uninstall from drawer is enough
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
ok i isntalled like you said i can reboot ? you didnt say that at the end ,
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Sure

after flashing V4 you can reboot now
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
now i get a warning for camera "warning camera failed" i didnt had this at start it simple crashed out but magisks seems to work and safetynet pass
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Can you clear data for camera?

Are you on stock /custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
fully stock, only root, same effect after camera clear
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
If possible please provide me log, Some have reported camera issue is related to specific firmware

If possible kindly flash full stock ROM - flash V4 with magisk option + RMM patch but don't select patched kernel option.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
rmm patch ?

and a log uhh, i forgot how to make one , ots been a couple years since i toyed with s6

also do anyone happen to know what firm dont have this bug ?, i use eng language anyways so it dont bother if i use phn or not
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
RMM (OEM) patch if your device have OEM issue, you can choose it even you don't have OEM issue.

If you have adb installed then

run

adb logcat > logcat.txt

reproduce camera error - disconnect and upload logcat.txt

else try re-installing latest stock and follow what I said in previous msg but DON'T select kernel option in aroma
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
i cant get it to work probaly, i enables usb debug, alowd pc when it asked but it says waiting on device still
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
First disconnect and connect device

run

adb devices

allow permission on your device

then run

adb logcat > logcat.txt
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
thx and here is the log https://files.catbox.moe/jxl4fq.txt

i have not formatted yet and offical firmware, but i can do it if you want me to , this is plain stock with that v4 and kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
moreover seems framework related

If possible flash latest stock RG* firmware and flash V4 with magisk (without kernel option)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
let me look for that rg firm i just downloaded this one because it was on my device

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

so basicly, flash the v4 , keep kernel stock and magisks option if i understand it

i dont need that kernel you uploaded right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Exactly

Also I have looked that issue is related to vendor mismatch

Have you flashed already?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
its installing, at userdata last step i guess and it rebooted lol

it will take a min or 5-10 to setup and enter develop options and see if oem still enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Which firmware you have installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
G965FXXU2BRG6 witch i found on xda, and it seems magisks and camera works now , have not udated any apps yet , gonna start now
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
You mean you have installed V4 with magisk and working fine?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
yes, the v4 with magisks works fine bu the guide you gave me ,

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

the only anoying thing i find is that mcafee securety that keeps poping up that it found bad software or something
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Delete/Freeze SecurityLogAgent app

So V4 is perfect for root with Magisk right, I have already wrote in guide, no need to flash patched kernel

I will update to V5 with deleting script of securitylogagent too

let me know any thing else need to correct
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Ok I am uploading V5 and will be available in OP after 10 minutes

I have added

- Notice to select Patched kernel only for SuperSu root

- Script to auto remove SecurityLogAgent when you select to root
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
so far so good, no problems found yet, safetynet works fine as pokemon go starts,

although at times the phone acts slow from what i used to have , but thats probaly the rom?

ill report if i find strange behaviors , i now know how to catlog again so together we can make other galaxy owners happy to
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Thanks for side by side test and report, actually this was pending since long and only possible if test user ready to flash same time and you did it perfectly. I hope now this may be stable and useful specially to a stock rom users. May include some extra goodies like deknox, debloat, Viper if requires.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wesley_NL:
v4a+dolby atmos would be cool i love those,

but samsung already have a dolby atmos only no visual gui like the other dolby atmos i have on s6e+

viper4android, well most of the time those pre-installed once works for a short while and don't kick in anymore after a reboot i had that lots of times,

the only one that kept working on my s6e+ was dvine beats in my sig,

on my sony x perfomance it also worked but after a reboot it didn't kick in anymore so i gone off to viper4android fx by zhuhang in magisks downloads ,

i havn't tried it on my s9+ yet thing is i don't know how to remove it if it don't work ,

debloat would be cool to but will it incrase device performance?,

dekonx, well knox don't work anyways on root right ?,

but simply ask me to test i'd be happy aslong as it don't brick the phone , sofar i never had a bricking samsung yet but one never know
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] virags:

Hi,

At step 14 I selected open Aroma (which probably was incorrect but you mentioned Aroma there so I didn't think there would be any harm). Then I chose "exit" in the file manager and screen went totally dark. Now the phone doesn't react to anything, just hums when I press power button. Odin detects it as connected though. Can you please help?

upd: Was somehow able to load into TWRP now again. What should I do? Continue according to guide?

upd2: no action needed

Hello,

I searched but could not find an answer on the thread.

So I used this guide to use root my s9+ with magisk, and everything works great, but one thing happens, when the phone locks I cannot unlock it.

The live active display still moves, but neither the power button, or the hard press home button does anything. Did this happen to anyone?:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Occasionally this happens and I have read such issue on variety of devices on magisk thread, simply force reboot (Hold vol dwn+power) should fix the issue

Backup with TWRP before wipe possible?

Is a backup between steps 11 and 12 with TWRP and then still copy away the backup from the phone to PC possible before wiping with step 12 the whole data partition? Due to my experience TWRP is very nice to backup whole partitions.

I purchase a new S9+ G965F with latest software installed.

I wait 7 days and after that i get the oem unlock option in my developer setting. I press the button to enable it and he give a warning that my device will be factory reset if i enable the oem unlock option. I proceed to oem unlock and after the device reset my Oem option disappear again.

any one knows what i have to do now ? should i wait another 7 days or i can flash custom recovery ?

and if i have to wait then after 7 days should this option appears with oem unlock option enable or disable ?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
One of your root app can cause it.

Try avoiding using root app during first 2 min of device boot
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] M_Game:
Without uninstalling them? Or i have to disable them in supersu menu?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Try disabling all and enable one by one to see which one is causing issue

Better to reboot between steps

Cannot get Odin to Flash Recovery

Hi all,

I am trying to follow the instructions to install TWRP and Root my Samsung S9+ F/DS.

I waited the 7 days the OEM unlock option finally appeared. I turned it off. The phone reset and the option has now dissappeared. However when booted to recovery it says OEM unlook disabled. So I think that it was successful. Hoping I don't have to try again in 7 days.

So I installed latest samsung drivers. Downloaded Odin. Copied Fix to Phone SD card.

Booted into Recovery. Odin detected the phone. Unticked reboot. Selected TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-star2lte.img.tar) file and pressed start. It starts to do something and quite quickly comes back FAIL!.

You need to wait 7 days more and when the option appears again it should be enable

Then and only then you can flash any recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
If you and others had bothered searching and reading, you would have found detailed instructions on this from several posters including myself on what do do when it tries to reboot after doing the unlock. It was covered in this and other threads many times.

On last time ! Fo straight to download mode before it can run to completion. You should then ODIN TWRP.

Since then, most ROMS have stabilizing unlock built in so you won't have to deal with it again.

For those who have gotten past TWRP installation - if you still see lock/unlock- DON'T TOUCH IT !

So of course I like to do with the S9, too.

But when I read the posts, I really get the impression better not to try...

Just one question about the 7-days wait: Does this already happen if I just try to enable the OEM unlock and then reboot the phone? I don't talk about any other modification...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] buredurgagod:
I rooted my phone recently. Please check processor model. My phone has exynos. And I used Magisk root.

Also I used the patch for OEM lock.

There's no need to be afraid of this method.

Help, I bricked my S9+

Hi,

I rooted my S9+ before

with good result

with "N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V3.zip" and following the instructions leading this thread.

After updating my device with the latest official firmware I used the same instructions again but sadly bricked my device using "G965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip".

All indications were that everything went very well. I had TRWP running, I installed the V5 file, ran through the menu but after the reboot everything stayed black.

The only response I can get is to boot into the bootloader (power+bixby+volume down) but when I try to download the original firmware again with Odin, the progress bar hangs directly in the beginning.

The charging still works.

Does anyone have suggestions how to get out of this mess?

Cheers, Ronald
