[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] batfink1:
Sure, I'll clarify in about 1 week when my Note 9 512 gig phone arrives.

I'll try his way first, however what I stated about being ready is vitally important.

Make sure you have everything you need on an SDCARD AND on a USB stick if you have an OTG adapter.

You can't put any of it internally on the phone because to remove the encryption you need to wipe the internal storage completely.

So make sure you have

no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0-star.zip

RMM STATE BYPASS

A selection of custom firmwares.. Alexandr's excellent devbased roms have RMM STATE BYPASS built in, they also have Xposed built in by renaming the rom slightly such as N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_xposed.zip

Will install Xposed framework.

Renaming the rom as N960Fxxx_DevBase_v6.x_noroot.zip

Will install the rom without root or Magisk being installed.

I use his rom on both an S9 and an S9+ and they work perfectly.

So read and read and read, and when you've collected everything you need on two different media.... READ SOME MORE.

I'll update this thread when I try out shiftr182 method.

Most importantly, before you do anything.. Practice booting into recovery and Odin mode till you get it down pat.. You really only get one go at it.

Now mind you, I'm really cavalier, I'm a computer technician and I can't sit around wringing my hands together worrying about what's going to happen or I'll never get anything done, so to do this you do your homework, lots of homework and then you take your balls in your hand and do it and accept that if it all goes arse up... Well you tried.

It's actually pretty hard to totally brick these phones.. It just means more waiting, more reading and more asking questions.

I hope this has not only qualmed (not the urban dictionary meaning) your fears but also put the fear of God in you.

DO YOUR RESEARCH :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] batfink1:
OK, well [MENTION=3024300]shiftr182[/MENTION] is absolutely correct.

I got my Note 9 512 gig today (Sunday) via DHL, it came ridiculously fast.

Though it was supposed to be brand new, the box had been opened and when I turned on the phone it booted directly to Android sans any account, not to the welcome to Android set up your phone screen.

First thing I did was turn on developer options and saw it already had the OEM unlock option.

So.. Bad that it was supposed to be brand new (and looks brand new, not a mark on it)

Good that I didn't have to wait the 7 days for the OEM unlock.

The Note 9 is slightly different to the S9 or S9+ being that it MUST be connected to a computer via usb C to get to Odin mode, you can't get into it without it being connected.

So I got everything ready that I needed to counteract the rmm state and encryption, copied them to the SDCARD and to a USB stick.

Then I practice plenty booting the phone into Odin mode (Volume down and Bixby, not power.. Keeping power down will just keep it rebooting in a cycle) and booting into recovery (Volume up, Bixby AND POWER).

When I was ready, confident and could get into Odin mode each and every way from phone off, from restart, from recovery reboot etc I pressed the unlock oem button.

It warns you that doing so well erase your phone, clicking yes brings you to another screen with an erase button... The moment you click that button the phone will restart.

I held Volume Down and Bixby and the phone booted into Odin mode with no locked RMM State (see attached picture)

I flashed TWRP, manually rebooted the phone and held volume up, power and Bixby which took me into TWRP.

Formatted the data, told the phone to reboot again into TWRP, flashed N960F_DS_N_Oreo_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip which fixes the oem unlock state and patches the RMM and gives you the option of rooting with Magisk.

On reboot brand new unencrypted OS with TWRP recovery.. Knox voided of course.

One other thing, I was unable to get into the Samsung standard recovery without something being in the usb C port... It didn't matter if it was a charging cable or a cable from the computer so the note 9 is definitely different.

Will this method work for you, probably... Though my S9 had NO WAIT TIME for oem unlock and no locked RMM state, it's a Telstra unlocked version.. Even the box says Telstra on it.. Maybe that's the difference.

So try his way, practice getting into Odin mode from every way you can think of till it's second nature and go for it... It took me an hour top's.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] partcyborg:
If you had followed your own advice and read up fully on purchasing these devices for the us, you would know that in order for them to work here the first have to be "activated" in their home country. This means for each one sold the seller has to open the box, stick a local sim card in, and make a 5min phone call before shipping it off to the buyer. Had this not been done, your device would be unusable in the USA, so it's a very good thing they did.

Really good advice you gave though, keeps paying itself off in spades ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] batfink1:
Ahhhh no, I'm not from the USA, and neither the S9 or the S9+ had been opened or activated prior to my purchase, they were both sealed in shrink wrap plastic.. What you described might need to be done to a phone used in the USA or China but not in the rest of the world... Also since I'm in Australia the phone was not the Snapdragon variant but the international version with the Samsung Exynos chip in it.. Also my phone came straight from HONG KONG.. So.... Nope... There was zero, Nada, zilch reasons for a phone of that kind to have been opened before going to the region it was being sent to... Though I am grateful because as stated it did indeed save me a weeks wait... And I'm still using that phone now.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nator_au:
Hi Everyone,

Just recently upgraded from Schaps rom to CRC's latest release. Its quite fast and i like it.

I also thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the radio rom as well, and i upgraded to 1.54.30.

I got 3 hours on the first day from a full charge until it gave me the low battery warning at 10%.

Last night, after some reading, i flashed the radio to 1.47.30.10, all seemed to go well, but it takes forever to connect to the three network.

Usually at home, i get 1 or 2 bars of 'three' signal, but today, nothing..

I didnt get any 'three' reception until i got to work in Nth Sydney.

I get the feeling that its going to constantly have me roaming to helstra which will not be so good and cause me to incur crazy roaming download charges for email and web browsing.

So, the big question is, anyone else on 'three', and what radio are you using.

Cheers.

Brett
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DopeyOne:
Hey,

Im on three and running 1.54.30.10 and Im having no issues at all, batery life is great.. only thing i noticed is that it seems my 802.11 reception is not as good as i used to be (might also be from wear and tear).

Cheers,

Clinton
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nator_au:
Hi Clinton,

Which rom are you running?

Is it possible that the ROM and the Radio i have are incompatable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
Hey guys, I'm with Telstra and their "official" radio rom is 154.30.10... As Telstra pretty much own the entire mobile network with everyone else leasing off them I'd think that 154.30.10 would be the one to go with. At the moment I'm using 19209.1.0.2 PV DVH with said radio. It seems to work ok. Hope this helps out, Cheers......:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mrjasjam:
I'm using 1.54.30.10 on the three network with no problems. I sometimes use it on NextG also. Im using Pays 305 WM6.1 Rom. All is working fine. Battery time is a little weak with a mid afternoon top required. I run live messenger all day and synch with exchange server. Without live messenger battery would last all day.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thedeva:
Hi all,

I'm on Telstra NextG and have exchange mail running getting items as they arrive. I used the stock 1.54.30.10 but suffured the same poor battery life and dropped backed to 1.48.00.10. But have to say I really haven't seen much difference. I've used a mixtured of Roms from Schaps to CRC (change just about every week) and different ROM's dont seem to make any diference. Although, runnings the 1.54.30.10 I managed to get super fast download speeds (up to 1.1mps) which is owesome.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] e_gregious:
I'm running 1.54.30.10 radio on Faria.R-32 ROM.

Connected to 3 network and have no problems with radio.

My battery was running down after 20 minutes browsing, but I replaced the battery and it lasts forever now.

(Ignore my tag below. I change ROMs too often to keep up.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregnash:
er, no. They have the broadest, but not the only, mobile network.

All Aust carriers (except 3?) have some of their own GSM 900MHz, some have GSM 1800MHz.

Telstra have UMTS 850MHz which they share with no other carriers.

Telstra have/had(?) UMTS 2100MHz jointly with '3'.

Optus and Vodaphone also have UMTS 2100.

Optus are putting UMTS in some of their 900MHz spectrum.

Virgin wireless broadband piggybacks Optus or Vodaphone UMTS - can't remember which.

Different operators may tune their UMTS differently, e.g. whether to use a shared low-speed forward-access channel on quiet links or go directly between dedicated channels and idle state. That could make different radio roms work better with different carriers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mrjasjam:
This is all true and Telstra who half own the 2100mhz WCDMA Three network continue to offer access to it through their 3G and NextG sim cards. Both Optus and Vodafone are at this moment building national 3G WCDMA networks using a mix of 2100 and 900mhz spectrum. Optus have already launched in Newcastle and Wollongong using 2100. Both are aiming for October completion nationally to compete with NextG and with each other off course. It will be interesting to see how many people will be able to access it though as I have yet to see WCDMA 900 compatible handsets. ie none of us Hermes users will be able to.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Strider88:
Hi,

Just bought a new Essentail phone and noticed something funny.

There's about a quarter of a cm (0.01 inch) space between the bottom bezel and the screen panel itself, meaning it looks like the panel doesn't strech all the way down to the bottom bezel. This seems like a minor issue but makes the phone look weird for some reason.

Is this normal? didn't see it on my previous phone.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zaisesl:
does it have a screen protector?

Look like it is the screen protector and below that the screen itself.

I check on mines and dont have that space

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dumitrudan608:
Hi,

In the future I would like to root my Note 8 and be able to undo root in case of problem.

I kepp receiving updates from Samsung that contain absolutely nothing in the changelog. I understand some of the updates contain rooting blockers.

Which update should I ignore if I want to safely root and unroot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xchatter:
You can never know when and what update Samsung will push and how it will affect possibility of rooting. You can only research and write in the forum after the update release to ask the other users if rooting is still possible after the update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] micahlynn29:
Okay, I don't really know if i'm aloud to start a new thread for this but I'm going to see what happens.

Okay, I'm fairly new to rooting and flashing. I've flashed maybe 4 phones with custom roms and everything went fairly smoothly. I just got a Galaxy S8+ Sprint SM-G955u and was attempting the sampwnd root method on here. I thought I was following the directions to a T but apparently I wasn't because I got a fail pretty much right off the bat. Now my phone will not whatsoever. I am able to get it into download mode but that is it. No recovery mode no nothing. I have tried flashing the stock firmware but I get the same result. A fail pretty much right off the bat. I am running odin as admin, I've tried flashing the files individually as well as all together in both regular odin and comsey odin and I still just get the same failed result . Please tell me what ive done wrong and please please tell me i'm not screwed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TookRDerbs:
haven't rooted anything in a while but i used to do all my phones, do the normal 3 things when you fail, 1) re download the files 2) look around for more odins that other people are saying works and 3) try different cables, this is the dumb reason i have failed many flashes so don't overlook this. you can get into download mode so you're not screwed yet. best of luck

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] lapingultah:
Newbie question here when it comes to custom ROMs, APKs and such. I'm looking into getting an S9 (Exynos variant), but the first thing I would do is install the LineageOS on it. Camera is one The Features in a smartphone for me, so that's where the question mark comes up. Lineage developers underline that S9 has Samsung's proprietary camera software which is something they won't support and this is understandable. They - among others - recommend a port of GCam which would probably suite most of my scenarios, but is there a way to use the original (Samsung, not Lineage) stock cam? I mean there's a bunch of S9 camera APKs linked here and there, can I just use of them? Or are they not ported so I can't use one unless I have a Samsung ROM installed with necesarry "blobs" and such? I know I could also go OpenCamera and shoot RAW etc, but that's not what I'm after.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
No because it requires TouchWiz ROMs
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] filou76:
If you want full camera capabilities on the S9 and can't live with samsung rom, you might have a problem ;)

Samsung camera needs a framework which is proprietary from samsung and there's no fully working google pixel camera port yet. Some things like the variable aperture might never get supported by any other then the original firmware.
