Hi, have installed EFS Professional and am having issues trying to now connect my device. It originally came up with 'baseband' applet not found. Went into busybox and installed baseband.

Hello, guys. Cant find one, but is it safe to update 17.4 magisk (not manager) on successfully rooted from the first post star2lte on stock 8.0 ?

p.s updated magisk manager to 7.0 and its not compatible with 17.4 ((
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
Then let 7.0 manager update magisk
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Matr0x:
1) It is safe to do if you told so, i suppose ? I mean an update of magisk in general with dr.ketan type of root? Why am i asking?, cause someone told me, that an update of the embedded magisk may ruin the system...

Id love to so, but updated 7.0 manager is not even launching, saying its not compatible with less then a 18 magisk and that i need to downgrade the manager or update the magisk itself manualy. Downgrade the manager and disable updates is the easiest way ?

2) And another thing. When it was launching (before manager updated), i cant start safetynet check because of an extension it wanted me to download to do so, but the download was not starting, when i agreed.

One point I'm simply _not_ clear on:

Is it necessary, or otherwise recommended, to flash a non-stock/alternative kernel?

Hi all!

I used a dr.ketan´s Note 4 custom rom for a long time and it was perfect! (is still excellent)

i test oneplus 5T for almost a year and a half, but somehow I missed the samsung device all the time. Now I bought Samsun Galaxy S9 + and I am happy about it.

It would be great to get [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] customRom on this device! :)

now i read these instructions and root my device ... thanks dr.ketan
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] n756gkj:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] This is a nicely written tutorial, and the 'OEM Patch' you provide looks to be the perfect fix for my current interest/plan. Thx!

I've got a Samsung S9+/Exynos/International on order.

It'll likely (?) arrive with 8/Oreo, Samsung OneUI, and some European unlocked CSC.

My end goal state is:

vOS: Samsung stock 9/Pie, OneUI

root: Magisk

recovery: TWRP

CSC: UK/BTU (unlocked)

I just want to be clear about order of operations; is this correct/sufficient?

(1) install TWRP recovery

(2) install 'OEM Patch'

(3) install Magisk ROOT

(4) install UK/BTU PIE Stock ROM

(5) install 'OEM Patch' -- again

Specifically, is it necessary to reinstall the OEM Patch with every ROM flash? How about after OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
When you receive device, you can straightway receive ota (in case available) and get updated to latest version (and this will be likely pie)

Then read op for root device on Pie

Forget ota once you root

Thanks. Yes, I've already read the OP. Unfortunately, I'm still unclear on the need, or not, for the 'OEM Fix'.

Where the OP states

I _do_ in fact _have_ the OEM options available/set.

Settings:DeveloperOptions:
OEM unlocking [X]
Bootloader already unlocked

Which suggests that I do *not* have an "OEM affected device", is that correct?

Next,

IIUC, then , I do *not* need to select/install the "OEM Patch" when flashing "N965F_root_OEM_issue_devices.zip"

But, right after the post,

So, if I've *not* installed the "OEM Patch", just flashing the "N965F...zip", do I now need to flash 'dm-verity' and 'RMM fix'? &/or any other fix?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bdwilk:
Best thing to do is after you get TWRP installed just use one of the many stock based custom ROMs. Plus they run better than stock OneUI because they've been debloated and optimized. Most come with enough custom features added to OneUI and you'll never need to worry about prenormal or OEM jail ever again.

then afterwards root android 9 .

Hi Dr. Ketan, I tried to PM you but settings blocked it as a new member. My S9 Plus was factory reset recently, and I lost all of my data. The phone was not backed up to any clouds. All the recovery programs that I found online say the phone has to be rooted to recover the data, but I'm not tech savvy and honestly don't have the skills to root it. Would you be able to walk me through the steps, maybe by IM chat? I would be happy to donate for your time. I asked Samsung for help but they don't support "unconventional" methods like this..

Hi. Thanks a ton for the work!

I was wondering what if we wanted to achieve TWRP and root manually? Here's what I did on Oreo:

1) Enable OEM Unlock

2) Flash TWRP via Odin

3) Instantly boot into TWRP > Swipe to Allow Modifications > Format Data > Reboot back into TWRP

4) Tap on Read Only

5) Flash no-verity zip from nethunter

6) Flash ElementalX (Latest version)

7) And finally Magisk 19.2, then reboot

Does the method provided here does anything additional to this? Like the OEM Unlock/RMM State fix? Can we just flash RMM Bypass v2 zip by BlackMesa for this?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
Once it gets formatted, I believe you need to connect to WiFi and keep your phone on for the next 7 days, without any reboots. Also, avoid adding any Google/Samsung account during the setup wizard or after it, until the 7 days period passes.

I am not sure if adding an account would create a problem. So, if am incorrect, could someone please correct?

"- Any of below said method to root will trip knox and void warranty forever."

That is actually not true. It is a LIE by Samsung and other manufacturers. There are no laws supporting "warranty void" seals, but there are laws enforcing the warranty. And even worse than that, those "warranty void" physical and virtual seals are actually illegal. Manufacturers actually no not have ANY right to void warranty unless user have by their actions BROKEN the device, and it is illegal to make such threats. If you trip knox or tear warranty void seal on a device it itself does not give the manufacturer right to void warranty. If you break the physical of virtual seal set by manufacturer it only proves that the user might have modified the device and POTENTIAL of warranty violation.

In practice it would then be your word against theirs, but the burden of proof would be on them to prove the damage to the device was from user's action.

Breaking seals does not damage the device and thus not prove it.

Do research this issue yourself.
