pls do following steps.

go into recovery. open terminal command line.

do:

mount /system

ls -l /system/vendor

mount /vendor

ls -l /system/vendor/

copy&paste both results pls

use adb if you can

~$ find /system/vendor

/system/vendor

/system/vendor/etc

/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf

/system/vendor/etc/audio_policy.conf

/system/vendor/etc/audio_policy_configuration.xml

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
I did a clean flash this mornign on my S9 plus. After booting up and going thru setup - When I tried to use Titanium Backup, finding root took forever - it never actually did find it./ When I tried to open the Magisk Ap - I got a message saying that I needed to install the full version fo Magisk Manager and asked if I wnated to install - I said yes, it downloaded and installaitokn failed. Got a message saying Ap not installed.

I then attempted to flash the most recent versinon of Magisk in TWRP - but after booting when I tried to open Magisk, the same thing happened.

What am I doing wrong? This has never happened to me before on any other rom?????
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] johnnyblaze1977:
Installed ROM with full wipe. So far so good on S9. I did have same issue with TB not finding root ( I selected SU) but I opened busybox, updated that. Then opened TB again and detected root no bother.

Thanks for the ROM.

Hi

First uninstall Magisk app

Then install this Magisk apk and flash unofficial zip 180620

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4oec5onn7p4s6/Magisk

Next launch Magisk and in Settings, add this personalized update link in update canal

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
I reflashed the rom - and have done the steps you suggested but I am stuck on the last one and don't know exactly whree in settings to add the link you suggested? I can't read 'french' - and I don't see an obvious place where I can paste the link yoiu sent ? any help you can offer is appreciated.

thanks

edit - never mind - I figured it out. :) thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] edzamber:
Nice.

Does Magisk and Root Working now ?

Can you make a screen from Magisk main screen ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] filiphch:
hey, is there f2fs support?

or is this kernel related?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
Yes, magisk is working - BUT - I can't get Titanium Backup to work. WHen I try to open Titanium Backup, it says that my device is not rooted - but when I check Magisk Manager it says that ROOT is fine. and when I run other aps that require root - they work fine - but not TB. Very odd.

For the time being I back on SuperSU - and will see if I can figure it out later. Thanks for your help though/

I have the same issue, OEM unlock disappeared from the dev menu. Tried to install the latest update of the lightrom but keep getting symlink failed error.

Googled all night and found multiple people having the same issue and turned out to be a corrupt file, does any1 else has the same issue with the june 20th update ?

Was able to restore to an earlier twrp backup but the problem still remains. Magisk manager tells me it is installed but as soon as i open busy box i get the message that my G965F is not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zulfi:
Dude,

Frankly speaking, go for SoLdieR9312 ROM. Everything will be okey.

Last tow days I tried everything with LightROM but no luck, I lost root, randome reboot, dadly boot etc. ect. I am sorry ExyKing I am not telling its a bad ROM. You have done such a hard work. May be its my side fault, but it was happened.

Sorry

You, good sir, are a life saver !!!:good: got my root back and all works fine now except for making a backup with twrp which results in an error 255 no matter which storage i pick. Any idea how to fix this ?

kindly read all my changelogs for what's added newly, whats removed and whats fixed

OEM toggle is hidden in all my roms ( Build prop Tweak ):cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
Strange i used magisk for 2 days didnt had any issues

so only i added new magisk in rom again

Great to hear that:D
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dnb1987:
first of all i would like to thank you for making this amazing rom, it runs great and love all the app choices built in.

Installed it a week a go and had no issues untill a couple of days ago i started to notice magisk was no longer installed and busybox said device was not rooted.

tried updating to the lastest version of your rom but keep getting symlink error. I googled and found that it might be caused by OEM protection so i checked if it was off.

The OEM toggle was available in the dev menu but it the protection was turned back on and when i tried to turn it of it wanted to perform a factory reset.

after that i had issues with copying large files to the device in twrp mode, even to the internal storage !

many frustrating hours later a was able to go back to stock firmware/rom and started all over again but still symlink error when trying to install the latest rom version.

in system mode i was able to copy large files to the internal storage again and was able to restore to a twrp backup of a week ago but still no root.

Found a fix in one of the replies here by installing a different version of magisk manager and magisk.

Before i want to try to install the latest rom version i want to make a twrp backup again but for some reason i get a e: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255 :(

checking the log i see the following error:

Error opening: '/system/priv-app/SAirMessageProxy_N' (Not a directory)

I know this is not a TWRP backup help threath but any idea how to fix this ?
