Hi guys just wondering if I should update first my n9600 and install twrp and root? or twrp and root over android Oreo? which is the version my n9 came with.

Other thing I should use official magisk ti root or a different version?

I was able to root my Note9 (Hong Kong | TYG) Android Pie on N9600ZHS1CSD1 - Here's what I did.

############

#Root - Pie#

############

1.) Run Odin as admin

2.) Add TWRP_3.2.3-0_N9600_beta3.tar.md5 to AP tab

3.) Options - F. Reset Time (uncheck Auto Reboot)

4.) Click Start

5.) Hold Volume Down and Power then once the screen goes black hold Volume Up, Bixby Power to reboot to TWRP

6.) Select Read Only

7.) Select Install

8.) Flash "Encryption disabler.zip"

9.) Format /data - (Select WIPE>Format Data>then type "yes" to verify)

10.) Reboot to TWRP

11.) Flash "WETA_Kern_TGYPIE_ROOT-v3.zip" - provided by [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]

12.) Reboot to System

#NOTE# - The 1st initial system boot hung on the international Samsung boot logo for over 2 minutes so I did a hard reboot (Hold Vol. Down & Power) then it booted right up! :good:

So I've run into a new issue after rooting.

Phone: SM-N9600 (TYG - Hong Kong)

OS: Pie (N9600ZHS1CSD1)

Issue: I cannot seem to login to my Samsung Account. It will accept the username (email) and password, asks about Customization Service, then once you try to proceed it says processing failed and keeps asking me to sign in. I've tried Magisk Hide and Modules like init.d and libsecure with no luck.

Anyone else run into this and/or have a fix?

Thanks!

Checking Procedures

Checking Procedures SM-N9600 with Android Pie :fingers-crossed:

Very well...

Let's the final check for the procedure ...

Correct me if you are wrong please !!

1) Run Odin as admin

2) Add TWRP_3.2.3-0_N9600_beta3.tar.md5 to the AP Tab (https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30862)

3) Options - F. Reset time (uncheck Auto restart)

4) On the Smartphone press Volume down and Bixby

5) Connect the USB cable to the PC and Smartphone

6) Volume up to continue in Download Mode

7) Click on start

8) keep Vloume up and Bixby, when you turn off the screen also the Power button until the TWRP screen appears (if you have a easier way would like to know !!)

9) Select Read Only

10) Select install

11) Flash "Cryptography disabler.zip" (https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=30558)

13) Select WIPE> Format Data> type "yes" to verify

14) Back to home TWRP (Do not restart !!)

15) Select Reboot

16) Select Recovery (Not System !!)

17) Select Read Only

18) Flash weta_boot_v4.1b.img (https://nextcloud.justbeca.us/s/GkMneizbAx5SeWi) "where I imagine I already have the Magisk", correct me if you are mistaken, please!

19) Reboot to the system

20) In case it takes a reboot to force reboot holding volume down and power ..

I wonder if this would be really correct, or did I forget something ?? :confused:

And to thank everyone who guided me here ... :) :good:

Checking procedures

Hey Hardtec,

That looks okay to my amateur eyes, except I think after you format /data you will no longer have to select read only (step 17). It won't show up.

This is the method I followed and worked for me.

I have a N9600, and I was running Pie.

After flashing TWRP Reboot into TWRP

-	flash (Encryption disabler.zip)

-	Flash (RMM-State-Bypass-Mesa-v2.zip)

-	Format data

-	Reboot into recovery

-	Flash kernel (Weta_Kern_TGYPIE_ROOT-v3.zip)

For the most part I have been very happy. The above procedure gave me TWRP and root. It took this wonderful thread and many attempts. I am still working on lock screen access. Trying to set password, pattern fingerprint, etc freezes the system.

Please let us know how it works out.

P. S. Sorry, wasn't sure how to quote your post. I am an amateur.

I just updated TWRP in the downloads section.

TWRP_3.2.3-0_N9600_beta2.tar.md5 fixes the standard zip flashing issue and removes the mouse cursor (you don't need that).

I had to make a working custom kernel to fix the issue.

Being able to flash standard zips was the priority and I worked just about every day until it was fixed.

Excellent work man.

Random question... Say i flash this recovery and keep my ROM stock. If i get an OTA update from Samsung, will it then be able to update the OS or will i have to flash the stock recovery first before I can apply the update? I hope I didnt make that question too confusing, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
I'm not very sure tbh. [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] may be able to answer that question better than myself.

I do plan to post stock recovery imgs so people can go back if they want.

But why would you have a custom recovery but never modify the rom?

No root?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Otas will fail, also I think they will fail with an unlocked bootloader regardless of which recovery you have flashed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jrkruse:
You would have to modify the update.zip to remove hash checks of the files its flashing and patching. So short answer is a samsung update.zip will not flash in twrp or with a modified system of any kind without fixing the update.zip

Procedures SM-N 9600 With Pie

Hello my dear friend

According Airtioteclint the use of the kernel weta_boot_v4.1b.img (https://nextcloud.justbeca.us/s/GkMneizbAx5SeWi) could solve this problem ... I have not tested yet waiting for this feedbak, if it really works ... :confused:

As for RMM-State-Bypass-Mesa-v2.zip what does it do? :confused:

Where do you find it? :confused:

I am very happy for your attention and collaboration! :) :good:

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Barrakat:
Hello All,

I flashed weta_boot_v4.1b.img. I got the same results.

I did flash it on top of (Weta_Kern_TGYPIE_ROOT-v3.zip). Maybe I was supposed to start from stock and go through process from the beginning then flash weta_boot_v4.1b.img.

My original process was:

After flashing TWRP Reboot into TWRP

- flash (Encryption disabler.zip)

- Flash (RMM-State-Bypass-Mesa-v2.zip)

- Format data

- Reboot into recovery

- Flash kernel (Weta_Kern_TGYPIE_ROOT-v3.zip)

This was a successful root and TWRP. Then I flashed weta_boot_v4.1b.img. In an attempt to fix lock screen freezes when setting unlock screen protection without success.

Anyone had success in this area?

Thanks.

Will the problem with the screen lock also affect the Oreo version? ... would we have to do a downgrade so we can have root and screen locking working together ??

Why fortunately?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
It's a security feature. I wouldn't want someone to be able to steal my phone and root it while keeping all of my information in order to extract certain info like bank details, passwords, etc. Most things require root to extract info like that. If it's wiped in the process of rooting then it can't be used.

Everyone (or at least I thought everyone) knows that data is wiped when you unlock your bootloader and root. Even pixel devices are the same.

Do I have to disable encryption?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
No, but you won't be able to use internal storage in twrp. So make sure everything you need is on your sdcard.

You can try what you want but it won't work in it's current state. You'll need to unlock your bootloader. If you were able to unlock your bootloader, this twrp would technically work fine.

Also, you can't find your recovery partition because it's not mounted while in system. So just typing mount in terminal won't do much good.

ls -al /dev/block/bootdevice/

That command if I recall correctly should give you all partitions and their proper symlinks.

I'm not saying it won't ever be possible, I'm just saying it's highly unlikely to ever work without a true bootloader exploit.

as i am new to installing twrp , and custom roms, i think i did a big mess.

i bought a new note 9 snapdragon n9600 from ebay. unfortunately it was sim locked from a country code that it is impossible for me to achieve network unlocking codes, so i decided to install twrp and flash custom rom weta 9.0

unfortunately i am stuck on bootloop and i dont know what i did wrong, most probably i mistaken following the steps as i am not a kind of developer myself, and all i did in the past is testing some galaxy s7 s3 or note 5.

can someone please guide or tell me if i can directly flash the custom rom i downloaded from here with odin?

to be honest i can boot the phone to download mode after many tries or into twrp. what steps should i try?

How to update the rooted Note 9 while preserving what's on it?

.

HOW TO UPDATE THE ROOTED SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 SM-N9600?​

Reading through the entire thread of nearly 620 posts, I have not found a single answer to the obvious question that inevitably follows after rooting a phone ― an answer, guide and information that should always be an essential part of any jailbreaking/rooting guide: now that the device has been freed of its shackles, how do we overcome the hurdles and circumvent the setbacks that manufacturers and telephone service providers throw in our way, in order to punish us for the heresy of having dared to take ownership of our property?

A complete, detailed step-by-step tutorial is needed, which guides us through a process other than going through the entire procedure from scratch, i.e. flash a stock ROM, re-root and do it all over again after the next update every month. The question must consequently be:

How can a rooted SM-9600 be updated without having to run through the entire obstacle course each and every month? ;)​

This means keeping the configuration, apps, etc., similar to the way it would be if the phone was not rooted. Flashing the new firmware manually is no problem, but having to do all the installing and configuring afterwards each time is something that, if it can be avoided, would be nice to avoid.

I was just writing up a detailed, step-by-step rooting guide that sums up and integrates all the tidbits in this thread plus some extras, but without that last essential sequence, it would be incomplete. Therefore, it is wise to call upon the experts and powers that be to provide your guidance and input before typing up something inefficient or unnecessary, please.

Thank you very much for all your hard work and kind support, which is highly appreciated.
