The only time security was really important was when the MMS bug was circling around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagefright_(bug)

It affected so many devices. Yet I have not seen anyone ever use it in the real world. Not even when it got just released.

I don't mean to argue about the importance of security and whatnot. I'm just saying that one does not have to overthink it.

Like if you run random cracked APKs, you will be at risk anyway. No matter the security level.

If you use common sense, don't open random links and maybe even use an AdBlocker or browser capable of adblocking? You are 100% protected.

I am agree.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Rii123:
I'd be really grateful if someone can get back to me. As is been 14hours now, and, I still can't use my phone because presumably it's still encrypting. There is no home screen bar. All I can do is go into settings or reboot... Last time I went into settings I lost the encryption process.

Should I have to wait so long for encryption?

Should the phone be unusable whilst I am encrypting?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] gyankamp1:
Don't interrupt the encryption process..

It took hours..be patient!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Rii123:
I had no choice.. It seemingly wasnt working and there was no progress bar. I also know the time it takes to encrypt, and it's not 16 hours.

I may reflash and then re-attempt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DrPhant0m:
I'd used Titanium Backup for a decade or so... but recently switched to Swift Backup because TiB can't handle split APKs. I still use TiB to back up some apps that I have profiles for, and just restore the data.

Anyway... I haven't had any issues with DeviceID either, but this is a new thing, and I'm not sure yet if it has anything to do with the Device ID. In fact... isn't the "Device ID" as we've known it a thing of the past since Oreo? (I'm not sure, but I heard that somewhere. Please correct/inform me)

In any case... This is related to the COVID-19 tracking app that is developed by my state (Pennsylvania), and uses the new Exposure Notification system developed by Google and Apple. It gathers random IDs from bluetooth devices you come near, and the process is somewhat convoluted in order to maintain privacy. I have an open communication with the app developer, trying to peel away layers of the onion to get them to tell me clearly what impact doing a factory reset and installing a new ROM would have on the efficacy of their app and the service it relies on... and further, if there's anything I can back up and restore to preserve it across flashes. I told the dev that I have root access, and to assume that I can back anything up. I've also mentioned this specific app issue in the SwiftBackup Telegram channel (another reason I converted from Titanium Backup), and the dev is interested in helping, but it was his belief that a factory reset cuts the thread and reinstalling the ROM generates new IDs, making it impossible to get back on track.

[MENTION=430945]Timtown[/MENTION] - You're right that the Google restore is slow AF... which is why most times I don't do it. You said it pays big dividends, but didn't elaborate on how. Does it restore your Device ID? Do you have confidence that it would help to preserve the data from my COVID app? You said that you stopped using the Costco app because it never worked right after a restore. This COVID app is the only one I have issues with so far... and I'm hoping that there's something I can do or something special I can backup and restore to preserve functionality across installs... and not another hopeless Costco app. haha

If anyone here knows about the specific ramifications of COVID-19 contact tracing apps like this, which rely on the Exposure Notification Service recently developed... please chime in.

Thanks!

Essential Fix

Dear Note 9 community,

got a used Note 9 with Exynos, opened bootloader, installed Twrp 3.4.0-0rp, N960_F_DS_N_DrKetan_custom_ROM_Q10.zip and CTS_fix_1.4.

Everything works fine but i always get the notification to install "Essential Fix".

Rom_tool_N9, DrKetan_Rom_CTS_Fix and Rom Control are granted Superuser rights.

What's missing or where is the cause.

Great Thanx

I have written a thread in Q&A about this, but I thoiught I wolud come here and ask the good DR if he can help - ? I did a supid thing - and in the process lost my IMEI number. It is gone from the phone. I know what it is - but I don't have a backup - is there a way I can add it back to my phone to get this working again? I have tried to flash stock rom in ODIN and it won't flash - gets stuck on SYSTEM and won't go any further - am I screwed or is there a way to fix this? Your help is deeply appreciated.

I have been trying to flash the entire stock rom - but it is hanging up on System and won't flash. I will try flashing BOOTLOADER and CP to see if that works - and will look for you on Telegram. I am on Telegram too [MENTION=8285038]Geekser[/MENTION]

thanks for the encouraging words''

FYI I did attempt to flash Bootloader and CP - and got an error message in ODIN -it said check fail bootloader 2 binary 1

It never finished and odin did not pass or fail - it just sat there doing nothing after it initially looked like the flash was gonig to work. Maybe I pulled the plug too soon? Should I have waited longer? (it wasn't doing anything after it had intiially started to flash)

what is your username on Telegram?

do you see it in debug setting ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Geekser:
No it wasn't OEM at all - it was something to do with one of the partisans (spelling?) getting corrupted I think. In any event, Dr Ketan suggested that I flash the Dev Base rom and sure enough, that fixed it. I want to thank Dr Ketan for all the time he spent with me trying to figure out a fix. Probably close to an hour or more - I really, really appreciate it - and I gotta tell you, Dr Ketan epitomizes the essence of what XDA is all about. Helping others when you can - I will surely pay it forward when I can - and thanks again to the good Dr for all his assistance.

f

One thing I will mention about this - It was my own stupidity for not reading he OP of the ROM I flashed more carefully that got me in trouble in the first place. I made assumptions when I flashed that file that I never should have made - and I really learned a lesson for it. ALWAYS read the OP very carefully before flashing ANYTHING _ and then read it again to be sure you didn't miss anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] chris_morcos:
Hi Dr,

So I have done as advised & have done a full wipe & fresh clean installation of the Rom & only installed viper sound from Rom control tool & I still have the same issue as yesterday. I see no "viper sound is active " toast message after 20 seconds following a reboot either? Does this have anything to do with the fact I have a N960? I really don't understand what I'm missing now... please help.

No lag fix has been applied & no other sound mods.

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

I had to go into the system apps folder & do a manual installation... is this somehow effecting my viper4android sound not working? I'm starting to think some of my file structure is slightly different on the N960 from Australia which is why I'm having these troubles..

Do I need to move my viper sound files maybe Dr?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:

After rooting I lose secure folder and spay forever, that's not a problem bcz I don't use it... If I unroot I can get back the ota again ..

What about after installing this custom ROM, will I lose something? Like biometrics or anything else!

And the way to install is to root by installing the twrp then instead the custom ROM after formatting data and int storage...

Hi Dr Ketan and the Team XDA,

First, I register to Thanks all of you...

My experience :

I received a cheap Korean NOTE9 SM-N960N new that was sold by a pro seller as a European SM-960F/DS (XEF)...

I very quickly discovered i have the same IMEI for the 2 SIM slots and the phone was already root with your Pie P03 Dr.Ketan ROM and modified by Lamlazy :

AP : N960FXXU2ZRLR

CP : N960NKOU3CSG1

CSC : G965FOXM2ZRL3 (G965F ???)

Finally, after a lot of research on the Net, i decided not to return the phone and trust to this thread (sorry, Great Thread).

I followed scrupulously your specific instructions :

- First, upgrade official Samsung SM-N960N (KOO) rom via ODIN with the CSC_OMC_OKR_N960NOKR3FTJ4 (and NOT the HOME_CSC_OMC_OKR_)

Fortunately, i refound a SM-N960N with official Samsung Q KOO Rom, but with XEF langages (not Korean) and all my previous parameters and accounts.

No more Root but the OEM unlock was ON again...

(I think I could have stayed like this... All was OK... but i preferred to go on)

- The official TRWP 3.4.0.0 crownlte

- Format Data and your last N960_F_DS_N_DrKetan_custom_ROM_Q11 then your BL_N960N*.* and CP_N960N*.*

- and finally after a lot of reboot, upgrade with the most recent official KOO BL_N960N and CP_N960N

No bug in all the processes !!!

At this time, I keep my same IMEI number for the 2 SIM slots but All is OK and perfect for my FR country :

GSM, 4G lte, Wifi AC, GPS, Google Play, bluetooth, external SD, USB-OTG, Pen, battery ....

(and my wife didn't cut my throat... very happy with her new Samsung)

If my experience can serve... for a newbee like me...

I still have a technical question, Please :

I have a SM-N960N with the last Q11 Dr.Ketan Rom.

At this stage, is it possible to upgrade with an official XEF Bootloader BL_N960F*.* and the Modem CP_N960F*.* version (than the SM-N960N) ?????

Thanks for your explanation.. Best regards.
