Hi guys.

I want to buy something from the Galaxy Store, but when I try to pay it says "Can't use credit card. Rooting detected. Use another payment method." and then I click ok and it starts loading the payment screen where you can choose another payment method, but a popup shows "Error. No payment method available" so I can't buy anything. :(

Can you help me out?

Thanks!

A few things to remember:

1) ETAs (estimated time of arrival or new build, update, feature) do not help development, are off-topic and in general are considered rude to the dev. The dev works for free, on their own time frame and owes no one anything.

Begging, asking, demanding them to do anything, like keep a timeline, is rude, selfish and not tolerated; so please do not do it, especially if you're going to be demanding or rude.

2) If a comment seems rude, or might violate Forum Rules, please DO NOT engage the member. Simply REPORT the comment and allow moderation staff to address this situation.

While I appreciate the thread regulars defending the dev, it only adds more comments that need to be deleted, and only adds more fuel to the ETA back and forth.

3) Thanks for your cooperation from this point forward.

Special thanks to those who follow the rules and make Xda a great place to develop and customize our devices, you all rock!

I forgot to format data from TWRP.how can install the stock recovery in order to unlock the bootloader?TWRP doesn't let me do it as soon as the oem is booting to erase data.

Thank you

You just need to read OP and changelog post
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CCJ22:
Some questions from a person that just flashed this rom for the first time on N960N device.

Step # 2.Recommended to flash latest Bootloader Modem.

What? Is the stock_boot_SC1.zip the bootloader modem that this step is talking about? Because I did not flash that. I only flashed the rom zip.

Should I start from the beginning? If I need to start from scratch do I flash the bootloader modem before flashing the rom zip?

Step # 3.Download files inside P* folder and read ReadMe_DrKetanROM_Pie.txt file carefully

I never could find a readme.txt file. Is this a very important document I should have read? If so, does anyone know where it is located?

Dr. Ketan's post found HERE has a section as seen below in italics:

N960N users

P06 is common for N960F/DS/N

What does this mean for us N960N users? I do not understand.

In that same post I linked above there is a section for samsung gear users outlined in italics below:

4.In case it stuck with Pairing for long time, make sure you have installed correct vendor.

vendor I never flashed seperately. I see a vendor.img in the latest rom. I assume this mention of install correct vendor may be ignored now?

Side note:: does CSC get wiped when formatting? I understand in the OP (post 1) it states CSC doesn't get touched when flashing this rom. I only wonder if when I format my CSC was wiped?

Cheers mates.

You can flash BL and modem after flashing ROM too. Post #4 have instructions about BL & Modem flashing

Ignore it, since last couple of version it doesn't require, will edit instruction.

Earlier version there was different download link for N960F and N960N, this version have common

vendor I never flashed seperately. I see a vendor.img in the latest rom. I assume this mention of install correct vendor may be ignored now?

ROm have aroma selectable option to select vendor while you flash the ROM, you can flash it standalone too if you have missed first time.If you have selected this option then you have correct vendor.

Side note:: does CSC get wiped when formatting? I understand in the OP (post 1) it states CSC doesn't get touched when flashing this rom. I only wonder if when I format my CSC was wiped?

After finally had some time and sitting on my PC.

ROM booted really well,very smooth and fast,no problems at all.!

I just don't install the kernel, don't want to mess around .

Thank you DR,Ketan for such a great job with this ROM for our beloved NOTE 9!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
dont flash bootlaoder or modem if you are on n960n. its not compatible with n960f.

you can very easily update BL and CP manually your self.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] yukimaru2215:
Hello guys

My phone on stock pie with no root , am going to root it and flash this rom.

After flashing twrp i need to do factory rest and flash rom that's it , no need for flashing vendor , bl or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] zencooler:
If you have the same stock base then Yes. If not you have to flash BL and vendor at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CCJ22:
I did not install kernel either. N960N here. So far so good.

Doctor mentioned "You can flash BL and modem after flashing ROM too. Post #4 have instructions about BL & Modem flashing"

Does this mean I can flash via odin even though I already setup rom?

or should I wipe phone, install rom, flash BL & modem, then go through setup?

Does BL and modem matter if I have a N960N (korea)

but I am using it in USA

? Meaning could I just use rom as it is without flashing BL & modem?

And since flashing this rom, my software says the phone is a N960F. But my hardware is for sure N960N.

Many questions, sorry.

After flashing twrp you need to FORMAT. Then reboot back into recovery. Then flash rom. As far as vendor, BL, etc... I am not sure. I am still learning BL & modem myself. But I have N960N so maybe you have different model.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

When decreasing volume of phone it only goes to vibrate, it will not go all the way to mute on this rom on my N960N. Yet my n960U1 is able to go all the way to mute after vibrate by pressing volume down side button again... Anyone know of a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bober10113:
you can flash kernel. just dont flash BL and CP from F models.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] yukimaru2215:

Flash Bootlooder & modem befor rom or after

Flash Bootloader & modem before rom or after?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
No robots needed for this and it can be managed with ROM Tool with 2 minutes, it can auto flash BL if no matching BL found but my stand is clear and different - "BL must be flashed with Odin !"

odin has checksum verification. would rom tool also?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
That is the reason why I always stand with Odin and not flashable zip. (because even 10% users not check checksum even provided with every ROM)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CCJ22:
You can use SPay with the galaxy watch frontier

Well, now that I have this rom my software about phone says it's an N960F, but the hardware is actually N960N. And this is why I haven't flashed via odin a BL or modem. I don't know which BL or modem to get. Either the N960F because my about phone says this or a N960N because my phone hardware is this.

PLUS, I do not know if modem is anything I need when I have Korean N960N using in United States.

Many questions :(

Here are some things I am not seeing in this rom

:

-Manual turn on outdoor mode for brightness (there use to be a tool for note 8 by the Dr. seen HERE

-Google baked in night light which is great to turn on with blue light filter for extra darkness at night. N960U1 has this night light found in Nova, widgets, shortcut activities, settings, then it will be a half moon with the title night light. More info HERE

-Turning volume ringer to mute / do not disturb with volume side buttons. Only goes to vibrate no matter what.

-Record screen is not found in activities either. More info HERE particularly see post 26 in that thread.

Is anyone experiencing these issues I have above?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] zencooler:
It doesn't matter what the software says about version of your Note9 as it is just information you can set up in the system files. You have to flash BL and modem ONLY for the hardware you have (you know that it is N960N).

Modem file is not so important to be honest but the latest versions potentially have some improvements so it's worth to have it flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Timtown:
If you are really concerned, you can use Samsung's Phone Info app, available in the Playstore.

[

You can turn on "outdoor" mode from the Status bar. Just drag the panel down and tap the off-colored end of the slider.

You can turn on "Night Mode" (not sure if that's what you mean by night light) along with blue light filter. Available in Quick toggles and in Settings>Display

I don't know anything about screen recording but, with TweaksPro you can turn on a setting that will allow your device to go into DND if you place it face down.

hi

so I am back

I had many bugs and many complaining and couldn't see anything to blame then the Rom.

I have installed official stock. all the bugs I had just gone and all was perfect. only one thing was relay strange. phone was rebooting. not the whole phone. just the system UI.

also the Samsung members app recognize it and offer me to send the log. hundreds of times.

Samsung reply to one of my reports that they will check and send answer back about the reason or solution.

yesterday (after more then 2 weeks on stock) I have decided to install new stock. I have flashed the Latest I could find and did dome mistake that make me formatted my internal SD so I thought lets go back to Ketan again.

this time all work. really strange but it is.

I have restored only settings and apps with smart switch and no bugs at all. also the reboots not here ...

Same version I had before and none of the bugs exist.

It is really strange that maybe when we go for wipe on TWRP we don't really get wipe (maybe?)

I just cant find any other reason why now all work (and I am so happy)

It was crazy that WiFi direct didn't work, nearby services were crushing and also the crushes of system UI while I was using the phone or when its just in my pocket.

and why the crushing were also on the stock and now on the V09 none exist ?

anyway. thanks doc for the great work again

Sorry for blaming the ROM for the bugs. It was just driving me crazy

starting from 0 is always best. as suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] lightdelegate:
That's true but... When you buy a 512 gb device, you don't really wanna format it every time.

Thats one of the reasons I like to be rooted. Cause we can wipe and not formating the storage

MAGISK Update

Hey All,

I am running P05 and have been getting a message for the last week to update MAGISK. I have ignored it because I have seen lots of discussions in the thread about incompatible versions of Magisk etc etc.

I now see that at least 1 of my Rooted APPS is not working now. I downloaded the new version of MAGISK direct from the notification link and they gave me version 18.1(18100) ZIP file. When I go to MAGISK manager to install it asks me to select a method:

1. Download Zip Only

2. Patch Boot Image File.

I assume i should choose option 1 and flash this Zip in TWRP. Can anyone confirm if this is correct and if there are any other "Tricks" I need to configure after the install?

Thanks,

D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] zencooler:
Yes. It will be the easiest and most secure way. To be honest the best way is to cleanup your current Magisk using Magisk Unistaller (you can download it from Dr's folders - same link as for ROM zip but the Magisk subfolder) on the begenning of this thread). Then you can install Magisk from the new zip (recommended version is latest canary build 19.x) and after system reboot you should install latest Magisk Manager from the downloaded APK.

All this info and detail download folders has been posted few days before on this thread.

Remove SD card. Boot in recovery. Copy photos, music, etc... to your computer. Wipe the phone. Format the phone. Wipe again just because. Flash rom. Setup everything then place your sd card in the phone.

Your problem should go away.

Not only that but I cannot remove system apps from my phone using sd maid pro. Or any other means. They show that they deleted. Then when I reboot the system apps I do not want show back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] lightdelegate:
Thanks but I was sure u didn't read what I've said.

All was ok until I've copied the stuff to the phone. Not to sd.

Anyway I've tried 2 things.

1. Removed the adblock DNS server. (thought maybe some app stuck while can't reach the add server. Don't know how it works so giving it a chance).

2., installed brevent and force close most apps.

More then 24 hours and no reboot.

I'll try to add the DNS again and report.

Ok so I am updating about the issues I had.

The notifications are still stuck untill i swipe but not always. Really strange.

The DNS for ad blocking is ok. Wasn't a reason for the rebooting issue.

The rebooting stopped since I've installed Brevent app. Maybe some problematic app was a reason for the rebooting and the brevent kill it before it is crushing the system.

And very important, welcome back [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] ?
