LATEST CHANGELOG

v5.2

• I removed the firmware selection from Aroma, because I couldnt get it working properly, now I recommend using the 'Firmware' and 'Vendor' flashable zips by Soldier9312 again

• Aroma Installer is removed, because it isn't needed anymore

• Big thanks to Soldier9312 for this one, now all Securestorage errors are fixed (this fixes bluetooth toggle delay and more)

• One Knox related app that still was there is now removed

• Updated Magisk from 16.4 to 16.5.5

• For G960F users, now in the settings app there are no traces left anymore of the G965F

v5.1

• Fixed issues with the camera.

• Also, you dont need to select your device anymore in Aroma, you only need to choose if you want the newest firmware or not (which is not needed if you come from v5).

v5

• Rebased the rom to BRF8

• Updated Soldier's kernel to BRF8

v4

• Rebased the rom to BRF3

• Updated Soldier's kernel to BRF3

• Added Aroma for the installation

• While installing you need to select your device and choose to install the latest firmware if needed

v3

• Most knox related stuff removed

• It now includes Patched Stock Kernel by SoLdieR9312

• A new updater-script, you will notice it when installing the rom ;D

v2

• Now based on BRE5.

• The G960F and G965F now use the same flashable zip.

• Removed the bootloader, modem, and vendor from the flashable zip to save space (see first post for solution if you want the newest firmware)

v1

• First release.

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Make sure that the buildnumber of this rom is the same as on your phone now, otherwise download the correct firmware and vendor flashable zips by SoLdieR9312 from his xda thread.

2. Make sure that you have TWRP installed, and boot into TWRP.

3. If your data partition is encrypted, then FORMAT data, if its not encrypted, and you come from a different rom, then you only need to wipe data.

If you come from a previous version of this rom, then you dont need to do anything.

4. If needed, flash the firmware and vendor zip files, if not needed, then continue with the next step.

5. Flash the rom zip, when its done you can boot into the system and enjoy!

debloated or full stock? OXM csc?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Thanks for this :) however is there anyway to remove this Mein A1 app? I have no idea what it is as it's all in German. It's no able to be uninstalled even in titanium back up as it says no .akp file found
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
It is full stock, I'm planning to make a debloated rom after my exams.

The CSC is oxm, I will update the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I have this rom installed on my own S9 too, and I have never seen the app, so I guess that it is included in the CSC.

Could you send a screenshot of the app info of the app? So then I can search for it in the rom zip and tell you how you can delete it .
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Thanks I've uploaded a screen shot, the app is in the bottom right hand corner
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
It seems that that has to do with the CSC that it applies (OXM is multi CSC and when booting it chooses one of the CSC's inside, which is PHN in my case) and the CSC that your phone chose to use apparantly has that A1 app in it.

If you can tell me what CSC you have, I can check if there is a way to get rid of that A1 app.

Otherwise, you could always disable the app with an app like QuickDis which you can get from the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vandal_:
what about battery drain? I saw that magisk can cause high battery drain. As it`s not completely compatible with our s9 plus
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Hi Thanks for the reply, I never flashed a csc with odin. I only used odin for twrp. However I used this N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0-star and flashed them in twrp. Is it possible to just flash a new CSC, if so have you got one you can recommend

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I saw people complaining about that indeed, but I didnt have any issues (on my S9 I get about 16h standby and 7-7.5h sot with 1.5-2h of gaming).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
That is not possible, as your device selects a CSC based on your SIM card and possibly some other things.

You can check with the Phone Info app from the Play Store on what CSC your phone currently uses, then tell me what it says, so I can look into it and possibly fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
As you can see on the first screenshot, it says that the CSC version is OXM, but on the second screenshot it says that it is using PHN.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Thanks Arnhem much appreciated for your help its been driving me crazy for the past 2 days. Im just installing the ryan stock rom now again, i tried loads of different roms to see if it would get rid of the app but no luck. And Kies is useless it doesn't even recognize my phone just says connecting all the time. I was going to just reflash to stock and start again to see if that would help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
You're welcome Manchester, if it is done with flashing and you tell me the current CSC that it uses, I can try to get rid of all carrier bloatware on all CSC's, which would get rid of the A1 app in your case.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Hi Ryan here are the screen shots
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Thank you, I'll see if I can fix it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Thanks Ryan :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Hey Ryan I have sorted the issue installed stock combination Rom which must of rewritten the csc was having issues with Odin before because it would not install it and the app kept hanging after some investigation I realised that Samsung are compressing their firmware so earlier versions of Odin don't work properly anyway managed to fix the issue and have reinstalled your Rom and the A1 app is gone. Thanks again for your help .
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Well thats strange, I guess this issue is fixed now then.

Enjoy the rom!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ninjeratu:
A download link not on Mega?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Orfeo007:
G9650?

Can I install it on my sm-g9650 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
Read the first post....
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Now I'm working on rebasing the rom to the latest BRE5... it will be done today.

Also, since my exams are done, when I'm done with this rom I will start working on a debloated stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
May I ask you why you want a different link?

Mega is fast, and it works good too with a Mega Downloader (because I use Firefox and Mega doesnt work in that browser).

Also I happen to have lots of storage on Mega, 50gb (Mega) vs 15gb (GDrive).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] buddy66:
So is it possible to flash this ROM over STOCK ARCC, use HOMECSC file to not loose any data and prevent the data partition from being encrypted?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
On stock rom the data is already encrypted, so you would still need to format data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Anyways, I'll upload to Mediafire now since that is fast too, and the new version is one zip for both devices thats lighter then previous version zips seperately.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
v2 BRE5 got released!

CHANGELOG v2

Now based on BRE5

The G960F and G965F now share the same flashable zip

Removed the bootloader, modem, and vendor from the flashable zip to save space (see first post for solution if you want the newest)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I will release a small zip to fix issues with securitylogagent (annoying notifications about root) and to disable the oem unlock toggle (so you can't accidentally disable it)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] :
ERD5?

It is BRE5... If you don't know what you're doing stop it
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Bruh I feel so stupid right now...

I guess I'm sleep drunk or something.

I will fix it rn
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Notice how I got it right on this post down here
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
This all never happened ok xD
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nalas:

big thx - I think about buy galaxy S8 or S9 and I want only to check so this files exist and can be editable....

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Proc and sys don't exist in /system.

Only /sys/kernel exists on my S9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nalas:
Thanks a lot :)

Can YOU take a screenshot from sys/kernel/ folder?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Here you go
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nalas:
Thx :)

and the last request - can You take screen shots from /proc/ nad /proc/sys/ ?

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MobFreak2799:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
It does work, I told you that if it works in the stock rom that it works here too.

I even tested it for you, and the screen opens up.

Why would I lie about that?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MobFreak2799:
So post the screenshot of service mode
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Just as in stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] MobFreak2799:
Did u just dial the code or launched it from shortcut master? Because when i try to launch it from 0 method i get some java error and if from explore option the service mode force closes
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I used the dialer.

Warning: Camera Failed (Need Help!)

I flashed this ROM with TWRP on my S9+ with "Flashable_G96XF_Firmware_TWRP_BRE5_r4.zip" it worked and fixed my previous bootloader(which was stuck) anyways i tried a 'Root Checker' and it said NOT rooted which is no problem to me but right after i wanted to take a Photo with my camera but it got me a black screen and well.. spend lot of time seeking for a solution on Google but nothing works so far how do i fix this?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] stephenuk:
Same here camera failed
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
thats bizzarre, I guess there's something wrong in my flashable zip that fails to detect the device and flashes the G960F camera files.

I guess its the best for you and [MENTION=296309]stephenuk[/MENTION] to switch to a different rom for now, meanwhile I will work on Aroma for in the flashable zip (for the new version) and put manual device selection in there to fix this problem for always.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I don't know for sure, but I think that the new version (with above problems fixed) will come either today or tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Hiproly:
Yes please keep me updated appreciate the support??
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I'm afraid that I can't upload the new version today, I'm currently having some issues with the installer.

It'll probably be fixed this week, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] shysstkille:
Hi my friends,I have bought me a samsung s9+,I really want to root it so I can use titanium backup on it, if I install this,can I manually update the phone then and still got it rooted or is that not the case??
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Yes, the only thing is that you can't update via the settings, and that you need to download a full rom zip file with every update, thats all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Hi there is there any way to make a reboot to recovery menu in a seperate zip please. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Hiproly:
Thanks for keeping me up'to'date your support helps me and i will wait paitently.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I will make a different rom later, with small optional features like that one.

At the moment though, it isnt possible as the newest version (BRF3) is very hard to modify, Soldier's Rom for example has all the mods removed right now because of that.

So later it will be possible, but not now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Ah right ok bro cool thabk you for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I found the issue, corrected it, and I'm now finishing up the Aroma Installer (changing some visual stuff) and then I'll upload it.

EDIT : I'm uploading it!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
You're welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Rooted Stock Rom v4 just got released!

Changelog

Rebased the rom to BRF3

Updated Soldier's kernel to BRF3

Added Aroma for the installation (For now it uses the generic theme, I will change that later)

Now, while installing you need to select your device and if you want to update the firmware if needed
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
[MENTION=7334157]Hiproly[/MENTION] [MENTION=296309]stephenuk[/MENTION] Please try the new version to see if the issue is fixed or not, make sure to use the option to update the firmware in the Aroma Installer and let me know if it works!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Another new version coming up, Samsung released the BRF8 base for the 960F and 965F, and Soldier also released a updated version of his Stock Patched kernel, so the new rom is uploading right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
v5 just got released!

Changelog :

v5

Rebased the rom to BRF8

Updated Soldier's kernel to BRF8
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
WARNING!

I just discovered that this version breaks the camera.

I will upload 5.1 later, wait for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Soldier has given the option to flash stock kernel in aroma and the camera works absolutely fine with it on ver 5.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
That is true, but the issue is that I made a mistake in the updater script which causes a error when the boot img flashes, so it wont flash a kernel at all. (so when upgrading from a previous version of this rom the camera wont work)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
This also explains why people were having camera issues in v3.

I will keep aroma to choose if you want to update firmware or not, but the device selection will work automatically in v5.1

v5.1 will be coming today.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Rooted Stock Rom v5.1 just got released!

This update should fix all issues that were on previous versions.

Enjoy!

Changelog

- Fixed issues with the camera (boot.img didnt flash, fixed now).

- Also, you dont need to select your device anymore in Aroma, you only need to choose if you want the newest firmware or not (which is not needed if you come from v5).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
RSR v5.2 just got released!

You can find the download link in the main post.

The changelog is also here :

v5.2

I removed the firmware selection from Aroma, because I couldnt get it working properly, now I recommend using the 'Firmware' and 'Vendor' flashable zips by Soldier9312 again

Aroma Installer is removed, because it isn't needed anymore

Big thanks to Soldier9312 for this one, now all Securestorage errors are fixed (this fixes bluetooth toggle delay and more)

One Knox related app that still was there is now removed

Updated Magisk from 16.4 to 16.5.5

For G960F users, now in the settings app there are no traces left anymore of the G965F
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] breakforecho:
Thank you so much Ryank02 and Soldier9312 for your great work on this ROM. Been running it few days now, super easy to install and get a full stock experience with root and magisk up and running without any extra hassle. Highly appreciate your work and will recommend this as a one-stop solution to whoever needs it.

:good:

Hi, anyone having issue with smart view? I can't mirror anything on my Samsung TV using smart view. But it was working in Soldier Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] madmartian:
I installed both the firmware and vendor files, then 5.2, on my S9+. For the most part it's AWESOME! Thanks.

However, I am having an issue installing modules in Magisk - I get the error:

! /data/magisk isn't setup properly!

! please install Magisk v14.0+!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Does that happen when you install modules via TWRP or the Magisk Manager? Did you try both of these options?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] madmartian:
I tried both ways and got the same error. I know the module works as I had no problem installing it on an older phone with rooted stock (Note 5).
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Alright.

I will do some testing tomorrow and see if its because of the newer version of Magisk in v5.2 of this rom.

Thanks for letting me know about the issue, I will release a update when it is fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I dont know about that, and unfortunately its very hard to fix that for me as I can't test it myself.

I'll see what I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Hey man remember i asked a lil while ago about a seperate flashable zip for a recovery reboot menu in the power menu please. Have you had any luck with it. Thabks buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
No, since it is still not possible as long as the system can't get deodexed.

I will start making another custom rom when that's possible and add the reboot recovery feature to it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] madmartian:
Thanks much! You rock!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
I actually tried installing modules today, and with the Magisk that comes with the rom, it works fine.

Did you try installing different Magisk Modules? (the module could possibly be the cause of the issue too)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] madmartian:
Argh! So sorry to waste your time. Turns out there were two versions of the module - apparently I just needed a different version for Note 5 vs S9+. Not sure why. The Note 5 has Magisk 16.0 and the S9+ has 16.5.5 beta. Modules should be compatible. Oh well. It's working now. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lemmy_0:
I have the camera issue.

Everything else is perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Its fine, I'm glad that you've solved the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Did you read the installation instructions?

This issue usually happens when using a older/different vendor that the rom uses.

Thats also why I tell people to update their firmware in the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lemmy_0:
Yeah i used soldier32's flash. Still not working.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
So you flashed his latest BRF8 firmware and vendor zip, and reflashed my rom after that?

If you did those things, then I really wonder what went wrong while installing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lemmy_0:
Got it to work now.

Had to clean everything and reflash everything again.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Thats great to hear!

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobandar:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nightmare1942:
Hi,

thanks for your work.

Unfortunately I do have problems with different VoD services like Netflix or Prime Video which are DRM secured (probably Widevine).

No video is working. What is the problem with DRM encrypted videos?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] krusir:
remove or rename liboemcrypto.so files under /system/lib/ ( or do a search from /system/ ) I have no problem with both Netflix and Prime Video after this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nightmare1942:
Thank you! That's the solution I was searching for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Then you probably did something wrong.

Make sure that it is the BRF8 vendor
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
100% sure that it is the BRF8 vendor, and not the wrong one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
As Im on vacation in Turkey right now, I cant update the rom to BRG6.

I will do this next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] shysstkille:
Hi and thanks for your answer,can you please explain what steps I will take when updating and installing a new room (thought it might be good to know before I decide to root my phone)

My old phones have I rooted but then there are other rom in too!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryank02:
Hello,

I have a little installation guide in my second post.

Anyways, when you want to update this rom, you need to flash the new flashable zip in TWRP, and after that reboot.

Its as easy as that.
