I am not able to vote, as it seems the poll is long past. I would love to have root, and even though I bought the device not completely expecting root, it is something I miss. I would love more control over the ads, and also over the controls such as where the icons on the top can be, and more. I remember Scott from the older days of cleanrom, and if Scott is looking into this I am willing to do whatever is needed. Count me in. I'm still not great at everything but if I can contribute in any way I will! Man I miss Cleanrom!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] VerizonSucksman:
I heard "Samsung" and "T-Mobile," remembered reading positive things about them on XDA, and trusted that nothing had really changed. Even the first few days, it seemed like there were a few people working on it and we'd get it eventually.

Lesson finally learned; I will never get another phone unless I can definitely root it/unlock the bootloader before leaving the store, and I may not ever get another Samsung (the foreign Snapdragons prove that the processor doesn't automatically mean the phone is locked down like the domestic ones are).

tl;dr: Yes, I want root -- as some others said, I should be able to wipe and reinstall an OS just like I can on PC, especially since it cost as much as a PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
The typical XDA story lol my bet is half the people that say they'll not do it again will when the note 9 comes out haha
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Once they started locking the snapdragons down ive only went with exynos (ive had both snap and exynos in some cases to see how they perform against each other but never keep the snap).

Ill never get why people bother with the snaps now when they know it will be locked down (unless your on cdma then your kinda screwed) and they know they want to mod.

Every year since the S7 same thing...lots of people whining and crying no root...even though they knew it would be locked down before they bought it..always makes me LOL.

If it wasnt for dedicate guys like you root may never have happened at all honestly.

But regardless, yeah go exynos for development, its the only option (well until they get locked down, which will happen)

Sure, why not. I mostly root after the warranty period gets over and to get rid of Samsung ROMs once they start lagging.

As it triggers Knox voiding warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Lol I know, i was being sarcastic which obviously went right past you.

I could care less about warranty and always lol at people on this site who actually do care. Your likely on the wrong site if warranty matters to you since 90% of everything on here will likely void warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Sabertooth:
I have new galaxy s9 plus G-965F bought off eBay for which I would never get warranty and have another variant that I can't care less about warranty.

If I didn't have a phone also I would still visit here to offer my opinion as the POLL reads do you want Root ?;)

I am still trying folks but seems im the only one, literally lmao

Anything I can do. Lmk. Ive been rooting and modding since the Moto d1

I have a Moto Z Force also. For testing If that helps anything...

Lmk. Thx

yea.. u1 flashes on U with no issues.. im on U1 myself lol.. unfortunately for you (i have verizon so mines sim unlocked) flashing u1 alone wont unlock it lol

Unlocking network...

Do you know of any way to unlock the modem for all bands... Besides getting it provisioned that way through sprint.. ...a full unlock of the snapdragon LTE instead of it being locked to sprint CDMA and whatever locked down LTE bands that sprint is allowing..

can I change the ImeI?

Is there a softmod or user programmable code to unlock the carrier?

And if we cannot get root yet... Is there an AOSP of Android P that will work with this project treble compatibility. ( Getprop ro.treble.enabled =true)

So I'm sure there is some way to ODIN the files . Just knowing who has compiled them and where I can download them from is my issue.. if possible YET at all...

Like I said before. I'm open to trying all kinds of things with this device..

so if I can guinea anything I'd be glad to be of assistance..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea of course.. if you enable bands it cant handle or doesnt have it wont let u save so i wouldnt recommend goin crazy lol check out screens :)

Should be easy enough to try it. Let us know if it works.

I'd rather get regular updates over root, but if they aren't going to update the SD version why keep the bootloader locked?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea lol.. what ppl dont realize is if we go onto a combo firm and turn oem unlocking on it actually does work but unfortunately even though it sets oem unlocking to allowed, we have no fastboot to run the unlock commands to unlock the bootloader lol

samsungs way of teasing us.. that and they give us a different bootloader than the other SD variants so their methods dont work either
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
pretty sure there will be updates lol.. but yea, kinda lame they lock only usa variants

I guess its because the US carriers want it that way or are the non-carrier models locked too?

yea.. the sammy sim unlocked U1 models are also locked.. so only the g9600/g9650 and exynos variants are unlocked

I'm not saying there wont be any updates, I mean regular updates. I've read about april and may updates for the exynos variant. I'm still over here on feb 1st patch, and only had the launch update so far on US unlocked. I don't understand if they don't want to put out regular updates, unlock the bootloader so the community can do it themselves?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
That wont happen. We can all wish that one but it just wont happen.

They need to be as secure as possible and you loose all security when you root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Won't ever happen, can't ever happen, actually, as there are several countries where it is illegal to not provide an unlock option, like how it's illegal in the usa to not provide sim unlocking abilities for paid off devices*

The 7 day wait thing is a protection against bypassing frp. It's stupid, and tedious, and way way way too sensitive, but it's not a "first step towards locking down the exynos"

*I haven't read the actual law as written, so this could be slightly off, so don't quote me on this without doing so yourself
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I hope your right because the alternative sucks lol

sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Wow, Ok, that's why they have that 7 day wait period. That's kinda sad because there are other ways to get around FRP that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Well, they are blocking the main one documented all over the internet now. When I went to flash the combo rom to get around the 7day RMM at first I got an error message in download mode that said something like "flashing no frp firmware not permitted while frp lock is on". So they are definitely starting to block the whole flash combo to bypass frp.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] storm68:
Yep.... Looks like rooting days are over and soon for many. What a shame that they decide to take over our phones that we pay so much for! So not cool!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
yes obviously but i don't have oem unlock in my exynos G965F model out of the box... I'm not getting it..i used s7e,s8,note 8 all of them had oem unlock option out of the box...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its really theft protection lol.. so yea, if it removes the ability to bypass frp by unlocking the bl then i suppose thats their way of "preventing theft" lol..

even verizon is now sim locking phones to prevent theft.. fortunately tho its not a 7 day wait period lol.. the device will sim unlock after its been activated on the verizon network..

i actually had my s9+ was sim locked, theres a prop value somethin like gsm.facilitylockstate=true or somethin rather when its locked.. i popped in a att sim card and it went through an unlocking process then the prop value was changed to false..

not really relevant to root for us but just a tidbit most ppl arent aware of yet lol

so u cant go order a new s9 then never activate it on verizon and expect it to be unlocked :-/
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i agree.. i think at worst they should not allow oem unlock until device is paid in full but once its paid we should have the option
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
times change my friend.. things will only get more secure as time goes.. i dont think theyll not allow exynos to unlock more so like RMM put restrictions on stuff so its not so easy to prevent theft

i think the concept is good but they should make it something like if you put in your frp password it allows unlock or somethin lol not this 7 day nonsense lol def. poor implementation on their part

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cingulum:
I used to root to try different ROMs and adblocking, but I stopped that since S7 for few reasons. For one was the KNOX tripping and its after effects (Samsung Pay and Samsung Health, which I use quite a bit), but then I really did not miss rooting. I use BlockThis that takes care of system-wide ad blocking. I was using package disable pro on S7. On my current S9+, I have not disabled anything, but even after three months the phone still runs butter smooth like the first day. So essentially I have not felt any real reason to root yet.

I was thinking the same thing as I had read an article just yesterday on this. After reading some of the links in the Google search you shared, it appears that this attack was used and dubbed Dirty Santa, which has since been patched. This doesn't mean that this is the only way to utilize such a vulnerability, but you would need extensive knowledge about how to exploit hardware to devise a new attack method.

Could it be a possibility to root (No knox trip) the snapdragon with unlocked bootloader? (G9650) I know that its HK and Lat. Am. Phone but still, we are quite a few owners that would apreciate the features. I'd be willing to donate +20 bucks if someone actually came up with a way to root and not trip knox. I'm sure others would do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol huh?

unless u unlock ur bl and flash a modified partition in odin u should be safe.. running that command to grant auto tools in adb will not trip knox lmao.. whether that makes auto tools work or not i have no idea..

lol. seeing as how U/U1 variants are SD and no root in site and most of us wish we were unlocked i gotta say as of right now itsnot possible without unlocking ur bl and tripping knox..

if there was a way we'd all be rooted already lol.. seems still only a few of us even trying unfortunately

I would love ROOT just to get rid of the bloatware... But, I came from unlocked phones to the Samsung because I was spending too much time in the ROM world. I would sometimes try 10 different ROMs a week and was spending every waking minute, while not at work, messing around with ROMs and mods. I had to get away from it... But, since I didn't want to go completely iPhone, I went Samsung (S9+ now), so I could keep some of my options open ended......But not so open, I'm obsessed with it.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] a212ww:
Hello,

I purchased my G5 on eBay a while back and it was working fine up until yesterday. It said the temporary unlock had expired and to use the device unlock app. Problem is, the device unlock app was removed by the seller. I don't want to return it and T-Mobile support said that if I was able to get into the app I would be able to unlock it because the IMEI checks out. If there is someone out there with the T-Mobile G5 who could extract the APK of the Device Unlock app and send it to me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
