[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
s9 or s9+ URL says s9 but websites says s9+

I guess this wouldn't work for 960w?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] alvinator94:
After I read through it, long story short people are stating that it only changes the software on the phone.

But AFAIK if you use odin to flash specific images from different models, any files such as bootloaders that are exploitable or anything that will let us get an OEM unlock option, it will actually apply the OEM unlock as long as the odin flash also flashes the backend stuff not just the frontend stuff. Does that make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
You mean like flashing foreign device firmware that also uses Snapdragon hardware with with an unlocked bootloader?

Those are F variants AFAIK, not compatible with other (U or W) Snappy devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
what firmwares can you flash on to 960w?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
US firmwares... U and U1
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
thx for getting back about what firmwares i can flash onto my 960w.

can you mod snapdragon unlockable firmware to flash onto US/CAN in hopes it replaces files which would allow the unlock to show up?

i dont know much but just wondering what ideas have tried. such a beautiful phone and imo ruined the experience for me not having root
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
the firmwares for usa and canada variants are interchangeable.. basically U/U1/W..

none of the firmwares on any of the variants (U/U1/W) have oem unlock in settings..

with that being said, all the combos do.. but as we know it doesnt actually unlock the bootloader.. it does set sys.oem_unlock_allowed=1 and it sticks through any flashes including back to stock but all this seems to do is wipe out the frp.. it has been this way for as long as i can remember.. no ones figured it out in years.. sammy has the bootloader locked tight im afraid lol

our only hope is finding a way to root as we have in the past.. on s8/s8+ we coudnt figure it out and we even had full eng firmware lol

Curious

Since Knox is Samsung's pride and joy, so much so that root breaks it and ability to use Samsung Pay forever, and it sets up an entirely different encrypted shell OS within Android - has any developer tried to exploit Knox and its root access? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
I have a different idea. I assume BL not hardlocked, can be unlocked by scumsung in firmware. Why don't we demand from scumsung to unlock it? Sign a petition? Go on social media and bash scumsung for keeping BL locked to prevent development of custom roms. Many/most? others give that option. I've had motos, huaweis, lg, galaxy s3, galaxy tab, none had permanently locked bl except verizon phones. I don't care if some brick their phones and scumsung is worried about providing warranty repairs. Every phone i "bricked" in the past turned out to be unbrickable. Scumsung still must cover hardware regardless of root. But that's not even important at this time. Whenever i need to get something done and small-medium-large businesses refuse for whatever reason i go to social media and post things about them they aren't proud of. I always get things accomplished that way. It's insane i'm willing to spend $500+ on a phone and scumsung tells me i can't have full control of my device. I would demand to unlock bl on social media, flood execs with emails demanding to unlock. At least for the unlocked model. Their mentality "we're scumsung if we make it they will buy it" needs to change. We won't buy it. We'll buy a brand that doesn't lock BL.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
But you did buy it... Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
No i haven't. I'm only looking into it. If something else comes up in this size or google decides to make pixel 3+ with sd slot, goodbye forever scumsung. I haven't owned a scumsung since s3. Should've kept it, probably getting Lineage-Pie soon. I would still demand scumsung unlocks s9. I'm likely going to buy as soon as price drops a little more.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Raikalo:
The S9+ is my first Samsung phone and it'll be my last, regardless of the features -- I'm not going to sit around holding my breath from them to allow bootloader unlocks for US devices. Samsung doesn't give a **** how we feel about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
If something new comes up on the market the size of s9 or pixel 3, i'll forget about scumsung like it never existed. Of course they don't care about us we only complain to each other in forums. Maybe we should try flooding them with requests to unlock or else we'll stop buying. We can start bashing them on social media. I haven't tried sams yet but works for me with other big and small corporations for problems i have with their products. I don't even know how Sams handles os updates for unlocked devices. Will i be stuck with Oreo or Pie 2-4 years down the road, instead of any updated optimized custom rom of my choice. No idea...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
There is: the OnePlus 6t. There is also the International versions of the s9 and s9+, both exynos and Snapdragon. Both are completely unlockable and can be easily rooted.

Basically if you buy the us versions of these phones, don't expect to ever get root, and given how often this is repeated on blast here, I'm inclined to think you get what you deserve for not doing research ahead of your purchase ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
I'm not familiar with one+ brand, i know it doesn't have SD which is a must for me. Second important thing is size. Can't have international need standard us&a warranty. I can wait it's not critical for me to have a flagship phone. I'm just as upset as current and past scumsung device owners. Wonder about their tabs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
You will be waiting forever, because there is about a 0.00000000000000000000000000000000007% chance of it happening.

Most sellers will proxy a return on the unlikely event you actually have warranty work, but I can't remember the last time I saw someone need any outside of stupid brick stuff directly resulting from the device being locked down (and thus easily fixable if unlock were possible).

I really don't understand the obsession with a "us warranty" and willingness to completely forego customization of it's sake.

Having difficulty paying up front is one thing (although things are possible then too) but the warranty? Do you guys always buy the extended warranty on all your other purchases too?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] guest_2011:
it's still better than .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% :)

tell this to those who bought anything international on ebay and had trouble returning

us warranty is a must. everything is made like **** these days. i end up returning 99% of things i buy, and that's not even electronics but anything. i never buy extended warranty for electronics because i don't waste money on anything warranty-worthy. partly for tax reason. other reason it'll likely fail anyway. my current phones cost $1.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dukedizzy:
Its disappointing

I bought mine directly from samsung i havent even gotten the one ui update every carrier got it. Its the same snapdragon that everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
You absolutely can but buy them from Samsung, as you are buying out of region. Your have to buy from someone selling direct, for which there are tons of sellers on Amazon, with prime shipping, and backed by Amazon's guarantee so you know it's not fake. Couldn't be easier if you have the money
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] alvinator94:
I'm willing to help. alvisleet@gmail.com
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] alvinator94:
Right but I'm pretty sure that'd brick you. But general rule of thumb, if it was that easy don't you think we'd already have root. But even if, best case scenario, let's say they could work and don't brick us, I'm doubtful we would make it through secure boot. Unless those tars are signed by Samsung and pass the secure boot/Odin security check. And we would have to flash everything, I'm guessing that includes the userdata too because if we just flash one part it and it has one piece to getting around one check, another part might be required to get through another check. I just doubt the **** would boot if we tried flashing it because it would fail the PBL sector.

I don't know honestly the only known ones are the ones posted with guides in the forum.

Also attached is me asking them to release the ENG firmware. For the keks Bois.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Even if they released it, it would not work on your device. To be able to run eng firmware (and consequently, be essentially oem unlocked on a us device), knox requires a special certificate be installed on the device, which is signed by the trust chain and tied directly to the DID# of the individual device. Only then can you boot eng firmware on any device s8 or later.

It took them over a decade to do it, but tthey seem to have finally covered all their bases and closed the remaining exploit vectors

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
Oh that just killed all my hope, if part cyborg says it can't be done I'm gonna believe him, after the magic he pulled off on the s8 I tend to think he knows exactly what he's talkin about lol

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] Idk if this helps but # *9900# brings up this menu where you can turn upload mode on. Was that why the s8 method won't work on s9?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
Qualpwn is our hope
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldf:
Like I said in the other thread... over a year and nothing yet.

Not every device gets root. Time to move on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
Why when there is obviously an exploit that is able to get root and if u have to learn to code my self I'm going to do it simply because you think it can't be done for whatever reason in spite of documentation to the contrary. You aren't even posting from an s9 anyway so I'm not sure why you care but it's all good
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ve6ay:
Nothing recently, but has anyone looked into this new Qualpwn situation? Or the V4L2 escalation bug?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldf:
Actually, I do have an S9. I have several devices that I might post from. I also post from a Fire HD 8, a work PC, and a home PC.

If such an exploit existed for this specific device, XDA wouldn't be hiding it so well. They'd be screaming about it from the rooftops.

If something new is found, great. I hope for the best.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
It is a known exploit. Nobody has made it into a script or anything like that but it has definitely been done and Is possible on this device as long as you haven't taken the August update, it's a flaw in the modem that we share with alot of qualcomm devices and it allows you to hijack the kernel so I'm not sure why it is that you think it doesn't exist when it's been publicly announced. I mean how much more proof could you need?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
Diagnostic boot screen?

Im playing with a black listed s9 on bootloader v5, flashed it with combo file and in factory binary mode im typing in secret codes to the dialer and changed a few settings and I get the same boot screen I do on my s8+ and note 8 that have samfail root and safestrap installed. Could this be a start to getting root?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldf:
An actual rooted device with repeatable process posted on xda would be a start. If it's that easy, what's stopping you?

Try it and let us know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlockguitarman:
I flashed a file to root it like the Chinese versions and it went all the way to recovery before it failed. I wonder if I could use a program to break the md5 file down and change the recovery file out with a stock one and get it to work
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
If I was a programmer I would ****, it's documented and was the reason for the August update, if I called myself a programmer/hacker I would be glad to post an article about it but I'm not. That doesn't change the fact that it's been proven possible, that's all I'm sayin for christ sake never said it was easy just possible
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joeldf:
I know what you're saying. All I'm saying is that we need real world application of this exploit. There are plenty of people in this group that do this kind of stuff all the time.

I mean, over in the Amazon Fire Tablet group, they finally got into the recent HD 8 models. And, it's not like that device has a huge root following. Certainly not as much as there is for the Galaxy lines. If that exploit can be used, someone would have done it by now. The fact that it hasn't happened yet tells me more about the possibility.

I'm not a programmer or hacker either, but I do keep up with what's actually happening with some of these devices - usually if it's one that I have myself.

I was able to root and load a custom ROM on an old first gen Kindle Fire tablet a couple of years ago thanks to these forums.

But, hey, if someone posts a root method on the Snapdragon S9 tomorrow, great. Then we'd finally have something. Don't think no one is trying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] it's called Qualpwn I don't remember the cve number or whatever but either way the August update is the patch, they pushed it hard so most people probably took the update.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Tencent blade found it. As far as what I would do, I would write a script or at least a write up on xda about how to gain root with this exploit. Sorry I was not clear but it was an ongoing dialog between myself and whoever it was.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ve6ay:
Unfortunately my phone didn't let me postpone the August or September updates beyond about 4 days, and did it automatically while I was asleep. So I'm stuck on September 24 patch here Telus in Canada. That's why I'm hoping one of those two might help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
The most you could possibly get from something like this is a temporary root shell that would cause your phone to kernel panic the moment you did anything remotely interesting with it. Just getting a root shell is not "game over" like it used to be, there are numerous layers of security both in and above the kernel that are specifically designed to prevent ill-gotten ring 0 access from being able to fully compromise the device.

Would it be impossible given arbitrary memory access to disable those systems? Most definitely not, but it would be an exercise beyond my abilities. Even for someone capable of doing so, we would likely be talking about weeks-months of work to have something stable enough for daily use, not the kind of thing you can just ask someone to do as a favor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
OK, if you say it's above your ability then I give. the stuff you pulled off with s8 was much more complicated than anything else I've ever seen so I'm just going back to s8, I have a really good condition s9 if anyone is interested lol
