Hi guys,

Can anyone get the download links for the ROM to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] 4vo7u:
I understand that this ROM has been discontinued for almost year; but I just now bought SM-965FD phone and I'd like tryout this ROM. Can someone with the zip file for ROM be so kind to post it for download? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
May have on desktop, but will not be close to it for a few days - but will look. Post if you get it before then so you won't need it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] 4vo7u:
Hi,

It seems you're my best bet. I'll patiently wait until you get access to your desktop. Thank you for your effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gaww:
Sorry- went through current files and desktop backup files and did not find it. Also looked at older TWRP ROM data backups but same results.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] 4vo7u:
Np...Thanks for looking.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] paul c:
You may want to try Soldier9312's ROM - he and mwilky work/have worked together.

This ROM was discontinued last month, but it's rock solid - there is another thread in this forum for the continuation (don't confuse the 2).

I haven't tried this newer ROM yet, but I would recommend Soldier9312's.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zimmerAndy:
Uhm no i dont think so but can you guide me where i can buy the license and were or when to put it please tia
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] illuzi0n:
you dont have to buy a license but if you want to support the developer then you can buy it through the RICE app that comes with the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Can you grab a logcat whilst booting via adb please?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zimmerAndy:

svn

Hi mwilky,

is SVN private now?

Every time i wanna to sync it asks me for login / pass.

Thanks for the ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
It will be public in the next few days mate
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] boonthongw@gmail.com:
Great rom. I have no issue of losing magick roots. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Firmware (Vendor partition) We don't include the vendor partition in the ROM zip. Please flash this before you flash the ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zimmerAndy:
Hello dev i just flash youre rom its great smooth now i see you post this do i still have to flash this??? And i also wanted to purchase license but i get a fault what can i do about that???
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] turilo:
Ok I'm going to ask a real dumb question here, also half asleep :silly:. This zip you just provided supposed to be this big? After flashing this we flash renovate overtop?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Update the app mate then it will work :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zimmerAndy:
Oh ok :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] alcopasa:
First we flash this file and then the rom. with wipes? It is right. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] illuzi0n:
for the people who have already flashed this rom, do we have to flash the firmware and then reflash ICE?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
Yes

If you are booted and your firmware includes all ARD1 stuff, not needed
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] illuzi0n:
I flashed your Flashable_G96XF_Firmware_TWRP_ARD4_r3 prior to flashing this rom, havent flashed the full firmware yet

If i flash the full firmware now having already being on ICE, do i have to reflash ICE ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
yes

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

yes, dirty flash will be fine
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] illuzi0n:
Hmm after flashing full firmware, i got a black screen with a blue light in corner of phone. Ive flash latest twrp via DL mode and once back in twrp i allowed modifications, then reflash ARD4 firmware and then ICE still black screen with blue light in corner ... what am i missing [MENTION=4860093]SoLdieR9312[/MENTION];76428636
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] alcopasa:
I installed first the files that you had passed and then the Rom and the phone goes into loop mode, it does not start. I do not know what I must be doing wrong. If you let me flase other rom, but with this there is no way.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
I need a log or I can't help, Google how to get an adb logcat
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] illuzi0n:
would you know why im getting a black screen with a blue light on the corner of my phone when i flashed full firmware, then ice [MENTION=3699616]mwilky[/MENTION] ?

cant even get to twrp unless i go through DL mode and flash twrp via odin
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ounerkouks:
hi

thanks, nice rom for first release, wouaou !
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dinamo1975:
I just bought an S9 and I want to flash a custom ROM. First of all, i want to know if everything work well on this ROM, even Sammy Smart TV to phone (I mean all stock features).

By the way, from what source did you download CP & BL ARD4?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zecanilis:
To the guys with bootloot after optimizing the apps. Don't use SuperSu for root. Then the problem goes away!

Thanks for the ROM

Roms awesome!

Edit, attached logcat
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] boonhim:
I got the same problem after flashing vendor.zip so I tried to make full wipe and flash other firmware but no luck still bootloop. I flash the vendor by odin instead and flash renovate 1.0 zip again and it worked fine now. I took vendor.tar from https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development/rom-lightrom-t3770243 under vender partition. Download and flash with odin then flash with renovote 1.0. Hope this help for people who get bootloop after flashing firmware ard1.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vandal_:
Just a suggestion, maybe start a telegram channel like with Soldier`s rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] kotsios8:
What can I say, once again brilliant work cant recommend Renovate more... since s7 great work.. just follow the procedure correctly and flash vendor before installing rom. I am also getting 10% better battery life than latest stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] paul c:
Great to see Renovate on the S9+ [MENTION=3699616]mwilky[/MENTION] - it was my ROM for about 6 months on the S7 Edge.

Looking forward to flashing it, setting up SVN now :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] alcopasa:
I finally got it. I have done the installation with Magisk instead of SuperSu and it has started. For some reason, it only works with Magisk. In case someone has the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Savoury:
Installation fails whatever Options i choose.

Log attached.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] starbucks2010:
Actually is something wrong with the kernel.

After ROM installation flash again the latest ARD1 kernel and Magisk or SuperSu and it will start.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] exocetdj:
Reflashed and all sorted.

Can't find anything else amiss at all :p

Tidy job considering the scarcity of s9/+s :highfive:

Highly recommended clean slate flash if coming from anything else plus ensuring everything is uptodate firmware wise etc
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
That shows that your system can't be mounted or pushed files to.

Looks like a messed up device or broken download

Check md5 after downloading, thats why we add this Oo

I paid for the "Rice Tweaks" application.

And it is not possible to set the physical button

bixby for other functions e.g.

open close top menu
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
Kernel in ROM is just fine, i've booted so many full wipe flashes, dirty flashes with build-in kernel.

In addition, the stock kernel won't boot rom if you wipe dalvik cache :P
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Savoury:
Did so, your rom is returning the same error either.

Anyhow, flashed everything again via Odin and started from scratch and all is fine now. Seems like /System was rly borked somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ramon.nmgn:
Losing door after a few minutes with Magisk. Supersu results in bootloop after optimizing apps.

At first root works fine. After a few minutes while the phone is running, i just lost the root... i tried searching the thread, but cant find anything. Sorry for dumb question if so
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
Great , Rom. Very fast . And stable. Running EX Kernel , and I used the latest ARD4 from another ROM and works very good.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] hadinz:
Same here, after few minutes lossing root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zecanilis:
No root issues here! All ok with zero problems!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ramon.nmgn:
Rice tweaks keeps crashing. Even when i delete and reinstall it FC. Happens after clean install with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] donoboy97:
Netflix workaround does not seem to work, Netflix does not give the 5.2 error but another version (5.7/5.10) rice app when enabling the workaround just has it disabled again when restarting the app

Edit: it's working now. Is the workaround just renaming liboemcrypto? So no HD?

If so I'll use the awesome HD workaround from soldier :p
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Thats what happend to me but i always use supersu how is that making my phone bootloop??
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] highaltitude:
Tried flashing this. At the end I get "failed to mount '/cpefs' (read only file system) and I get an error: "failed to mount '/odm' (Invalid argument) What can I do now to repair and get booted back up? Im just stuck in a continuous bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Largewoodenspoon:
"failed to mount '/cpefs'

This is normal.

Not sure about your other error...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Why does one need to flash the vendor partition?

The build is ARD1 though the Baseband is still ARCC.

I thought, flashing TWRP (following the steps) and then flashing Renovate 1.0 should work?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
I flashed and Selected Magisk for root and found that every once in awhile I lose root status. When this happens, I just reboot the phone and root comes back. for what it's worth, this happens to me on every rom I have installed - so I think it is an issue with Magisk and not the rom - rom is exceptional for me so far. Working very well.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Largewoodenspoon:
Yep, me too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Because vendor is not included in system on treble devices. And including vendor for s9 and s9 plus would increase the rom size massively
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Thanks.

So the steps would be

1- Use TWRP and follow all steps there to successfully flash the customer recovery

2- Flash Vendor system

3- Flash Renovate

4- Flash new B/l Modem

Right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
Yes, if you are on ard1 based stock firmware, no need to flash vendor, only needed if you using older base.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] clockedtouch:
Is it possible now that Magisk root is available we can get secure folder working ? Thats the only Knox feature I care about hahaha.

Thanks for a great build its been solid so far on my G965N!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
It will and it was never working with Knox triggered mate. So no.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
This is what I have. I'm guessing it's safe for me to skip the vendor f/w
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
What is this vendor partition and why do we need it? Im having trouble installing as in it wont install it just fails in twrp despite doing a factory wipe installed the vendor/firmware package and then the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
Yes, you can skip this step
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Danke!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] m8980:
me too
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] starbucks2010:
I'm on SuperSu since 2 days with many manual reboots and never lost the root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
That didn't work.. TWRP installed.. format data done then I flashed the Renovate.. and was stuck on Samsung screen..

Now trying format again, reboot recovery - flash vendor - then flash renovate.

I hope that works..

Edit, well it restarted after the vendor flash.. Saw the Samsung Splash and now just the blue LED is glowing with nothing on the screen
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
If you can mate, flash a ROM that you can boot with, authorize adb access, then flash renovate with a dirty flash and grab me a logcat when it is stuck at the blue LED with pulsing samsung screen.

Just to confirm, it was the pulsing logo and not the splash screen right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Yes.. not the splash screen..

I don't have a ROM to flash.. looking for the stock FW online.. its not bricked as I can reboot to recovery and do stuff..

Let's see..

After flashing the vendor, it reboots.. but nothing happens.. that's not normal right?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Can you boot soldiers rom? There's gotta be something in common all the people with issues have, it's just finding what it is!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Let me download it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Ok.. so here's where I am.

Flashed Soldier's ROM and while it flashes fully and reboots via recovery, I see the splash screen and then the screen goes blank (no SAMSUNG) but the blue LED is pulsating.

I repeated Flashing TWRP - Format Data - Reboot Recovery - Flas No-DM-Verify file - reboot recovery - flash soldier's rom.

I am downloading the stock FW now from Sammob. I hope flashing it via Odin will at least bring my phone back to life :D

I have no idea what's going on.. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Yeah very weird, try flashing renovate, at the end of the installer it'll ask you to save install log. Save that and send it me please
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
Yeah.. for the moment, my mission is to bring the phone back to life..

I was very looking fwd to flashing renovate. Had it on the S8 as well.

Anyway.. I just hope i don't have to give it to the service guys as anyway warranty is gone now. Sam-mob is so damn slow.. still an hour and half before the download finishes..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Use the samfirm tool, downloads at full speed
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
50 mins to go...

I flashed Soldier's again - attached is the log..

I flashed yours and it confirmed saving logs.. but its not there..

Anyway.. see if you see something
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
And Renovate install logs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] dinamo1975:
Someone who succeeded in installing, perhaps it would be helpful to make a small video with the installation steps.

I'm interesting to install a good custom ROM but I'm still waiting furthermore installations feedback from users before to do this step.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
The installation process is exactly how I have said, but for some unknown reason it is not working for everyone (I got 8 testers and not one had any issues).

I need someone who has issues and is available to test and debug pm me, we could get it fixed in an hour if I can get the correct tester.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SoLdieR9312:
If you need video tutorials for everything in your life, i would go to the doctor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
I don't know the degree to which it is screwed and if a visit to the service center is inevitable.

I flashed the stock FW via Odin..

But now it reboots to stock recovery with the following warnings

Warning: No File_Contexts

#no data on recovery_cause#

Reboot recovery cause is [UNKNOWN]

Support Single SKU

etc etc

I do get all option in the recovery..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lupin57:
Hi guys ;)

Thanx for this amazing ROM ... all is fine here with a "dirty" flash :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
So i managed to restore it to Stock.. *phew*

Any luck reading the logs?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Doing some internal tests, if your comfortable with svn send me a pm or telegram and you can test mate

Edit: or if you can't use svn - clean flash stock get adb authorized and working, then dirty flash renovate. You should be able to get a logcat whilst (if) you get stuck at the pulsing screen
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
Not sure if this is gthe same thing - but the first time I flashed this rom, I was coming from Soldiers Rom - When I originally booted up - it booted up to right before the initial start screen and then it rebooted - and when it started to boot up again, it got stuck at the boot screen.

I started over by doing a Full install of the latest Stock rom via ODIN - and - flashed TWRP - then tried flashing this rom again and it booted up fine.

THe only weird thing I encountered was when I was coming from Soldiers Rom initially - FYI - I was already on the latest Firmware with April Security Patch. But the flash still ultimately failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Im on soldiers rom and i had this issue aswell and same with ligt rom only roms worked for me so far are alexandrs dev base and soldiers rom all other rom fail in twrp saying not enough space even with full wipe and factory wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] zabiku:
I had the same problem 3 days ago, coming from soldier rom.

In my case it worked only after I flashed the original full firmware from Samsung via Odin and twrp.

I have dual SIM phone. G965 FD. Now, everything is ok with renovate ice 1.0
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Geekser:
d

Right, but I was able to flash this rom after I did a Stock install via Odin - and then flashed TWRP _(setup twrp of course) and then flashed Renovate. SInce flashing renovate, it has been error free. This rom is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] joggi34:
Can you make no navbar Framework.res?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Guys hold off the svn till tomorrow, wifi is broke on there at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Ok sweet looks like i have to flash again via odin then ffs lol iv never had a device thats had so little development for it despite being a flagship phone theres a lot of work involved with rooting/twrp/ custom rom/kernel you know
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] PG101:
I'd love to... but that would mean to reinstall TWRP, format data..

Would my stock rom still be there if i were to boot up after formatting data? Gosh.. all these years, and I still feel like a noob.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] hadinz:
Has anyone successfully installed ElementalX kernel on this rom? Without loosing root with Magisk? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AfterForever666:
Did you do the following then?

1. Flash stock rom via odin

2. Start phone and power off again

3. Install twrp (with dm-verity and root and all like in twrp install instructions)

4. Reboot in twrp

5. Flash vendor partition

6. Flash renovate

I'l wondering where in your process you restarted the phone or not. And whether you flashed the vendor partition.

I want to try because so far flashing vendor or renovate just stops at 71% and the phone goes into bootloop. Same if I try Soldiers full stock roms.

Thanks!

Edit: wanted to reply to [MENTION=8285038]Geekser[/MENTION] actually. Misclicked in Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] joggi34:
I first flashed the Stock Rom via Odin then twrp reboot into twrp then the vendor patention then reboot into the twrp and then you 1.0 Rom flashed at reboot I only get a blue LED but the mobile hangs in the bootloop without Samsung logo what am I doing not correct?

Device: s9+
