Hello _alexndr,

Thanks for all you have done and are doing to make my smartphone a breeze to have and use.

My sweet Note 9 got a bump and is seemingly going to die on me soon sadly. So crazy question it may seem but on what other newer samsung phone are you doing the same kind of beautiful work if any ? Your answer would determine the next second hand phone I'll replace it with. Yeah it might sound crazy but hey I love your work so I'd love to toggle around with your kind of work on my next smartphone.

Thanks

Ps: Hi all, just a word to all the impatient folks out there on this forum and on so many others here. (each will recognise him or her self) be nice with this dude. The work he does is probably done by passion and very certainly done on his free time so ask kindly when you ask. Actually don't even ask (apart from unbugging) just take what he very kindly offers. It just bugs me to say the least when I see some folks "request". Ok there I said, feels better once out 😇
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Craig_D:
I second what @lezig says. I used this ROM & loved it. First thing I did when I went on to my Note 20 Ultra was check for the same ROM but unfortunately there wasn't but luckily I found a similar ROM from another Dev.

I'm giving my Note 9 to my daughter and it will be rocking this ROM

Thread has been updated

, SAFWB3 (One UI v2.5) DevBase v7.4 (February 2023 security patches, changelist 24343300) :cool:

Download ROM:

SM-N960F/DS:

(BL update is not necessary if you are on any Q bootloader already)

NOTE: I don't have any rooted device for testing anymore, so there is still Magisk v23 inside (same as in my previous build for N960F) - old but well tested with my last rooted device :) I'm just not sure if a newer version works well as a task in my DevBase installer and if it works better with this device overall. This is the only set I can prepare "blindly" :) Of course - you can install any version of Magisk as a separate installer, after flashing this ROM

THANK YOU SOOoooo Much Alexndr !!!

I was afraid you wouldn't have enough spare time to built this Rom.

You are the best ;) (y)

Hello _alexndr !

Is it possible to build the latest update for the 960N version?

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
The latest update for your model is dated July 2022, so don't know if it's worth for an update... ^^

But you can try to ask _Alexndr very gently in PM...

If you use the Official TWRP App you can also find the 3.7.0_9-0 version of TWRP you can flash directly without the need of a PC or you can also download it from the official Team Win Project website and you will have to install it via your actual TWRP or with PC Odin.

On this rom when i install zygisk i loose the root, i try many things but nothing

Who can help me please

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
Make sure Magisk 25.2 is still in your system with Magisk Manager.

If it is not there, then download it from here :

Magisk ZIP 27.0: Download and Root Your Android Device

Want to take full control of your Android device? Rooting unlocks a world of possibilities, from customizing your experience to boosting performance. Magisk

magiskzip.com

Then reboot in your TWRP, unmount the system partition and finally install Magisk 25.2 and reboot. Done !

If you are using other Magisk modules, download and install LSposed-zygist. It should create a short-cut in your welcome screen at next reboot.

When I use no root during flashing in the file name there is phone boot loop. But when I flash normal download file there is root and no boot loop..

How to flash with no root I do not want root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
I have a weird issue. I had been using the DevBase 7.4 based on FVH1 for some time without any issues and then decided to upgrade to DevBase 7.4 based on SAFWB3. I did a dirty flash and had been experiencing random reboots for a few days and then decided to do a clean flash of the SAFWB3 base. When I did this, the phone started up without any mobile reception and had a popup about no IMEI number. I thought it might be the firmware so tried again using the FVH1 base and still had the same issue. I then tried to put "Rescue" in the filename for the SAFWB3 base and this gave me reception but I was still experiencing random reboots on a clean install. I then tried "Rescue" in the filename for the FVH1 base but ended up with no reception again.

I thought I would then try and AOSP based ROM to see if I had any issues and reception worked fine on these ROMs so I thought it might be something corrupted when flashing the DevBase ROMs. I thought I would do what I normally do when I break something and that is to do a clean install of the OS using Odin. When I did this I had the same issue and ended up with no IMEI number. This has normally worked for me in the past when I have broken something but I can't get it to work. I even tried restoring my EFS from a TWRP backup but ended up with a bootloop so had to wipe and do a fresh install to get the phone to startup again.

I have now had to settle with using an AOSP based ROM as this is my only phone and I need to be contactable. I really want to go back to stock but don't really know what to do now. Is anyone able to advise what I can do to get the phone running normally with this ROM?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
Try install the last official firmware with home_csc in odin. Check your cable too. It may caused by data transfer... I've resolved a same problem once. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
Thanks. I hadn't thought about the cable being an issue as it is the one I normally use. I'll try a different cable and see that makes a difference. Need to backup my data first, just in case I have to do a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
If you use home_csc your internal data will be erased. Take a full backup before start.

If the cable and your files (ap, modem, csc etc...) that will be used by odin are good, then you can do it whenever you want. I'm currently using this rom, but I can upgrade to android 11,12,13 then come back this rom again without any problem. So, there must be a false in your procedure. Check everything :)

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
I thought it was the CSC one that did the full wipe. My understanding was that you used HOME_CSC if you wanted to keep your settings, data, etc. In any case, I always backup my data as precaution. You never know if things may go wrong, so anyways better to be prepared. Only issue is that because I have the 512GB version, I have a lot of data to backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
Hmmm. I might remember false. I think I used home_csc to format internal data too... Anyway, take backup and go with both csc file. Hope you can manage to get your imei back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
Why need unmount system before install magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
And what's base off DevBase 7.4? FVK1 (lastest) or older? @_alexndr Sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
After odin to stock FVK1 From DevBase 7.4 my IMEI gone, i used efs backup from devbase create, or backed up from twrp but still cant get back IMEI. How can i get it back now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
Because this is how it should be done, otherwise you'll get an error and Magisk won't install !!!

FVK1 is older than FWB3 !

First make sure the options.prop file is correctly setup as described in OP !

If you're still with a Devbase custom rom with TWRP, and if you still have an older TWRP backup, then restore the EFS partition from there and reboot.

If your IMEI is still missing, remove you SIM card and reboot. Wait a while and put your SIM card back and see if you retrieve your IMEI.

If not, make sure you have a full TRWP backup (including your data partition), and optionally a SmartWitch backup to an external media : micro SD or USB device.

Make sure you have internet connection : data mobile and/or wifi

Download and install an official Samsung firmware with PC Odin (FVK1 with your current CSC). You can try both HOME_CSC or normal CSC ( you may lose your data so the reason of the backup). Do all settings including the OEM and USB debug options in Developer mode.

Once again make sure you have an internet connection and thus set up your wifi.

Watch at your IMEI and if it's not back, try to remove your SIM card and put it back after a few minutes. It may take a while before it comes back.

If all is fine, reboot in Download mode, and flash the latest TWRP available. Once again it may ask you to format your data partition. So do it and reboot. Once again you may have to rebuild all your settings...

Finally, reboot in TWRP mode and flash the Devbase rom you want and see if all is working fine.

It may take a few long minutes before it boots up in your working system.

Reboot in TWRP mode, and flash the Magisk module as described above and optionally restore your latest Data partition backup.

I understand it's a long and boring procedure but this is what you have to do after messing up your whole system... ;)

EDIT : Forgot to say all this is available with International Galaxy Note 9 (N960F) !!!

If you have a GNote 9 from elsewhere then use the official firmware and Devbase rom from your actual place.

This procedure should NOT work with US mobile Phone as you might guess !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
Thank, what is region of FWB3?

And after fews way i can get back IMEI 😀
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
This is for Great Britain.

But if you use @_alexndr's Devbase rom make sure you set your options.prop file to keep your current CSC.

If you flash an official Samsung firmware, then use the HOME_CSC to keep your data and your CSC.

But for some unknown reasons, it can erase your data randomly... the reason of the need to do a full TWRP backup and more specifically your data partition... ^^

Good news then ;)

Bro, i tried many time but play store still show "device not verified" in setting, i using kernelSU, universal safetynet fix mod but cant fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
Sorry for the late replay

In Magisk deny list make sure Google Play Store, Google service Framework are checked, and probably Google Play Service either. Then reboot.

You first need to show hidden system apps and integrated apps to system ticking the 3 dots option on top right of the display.

Hello! I am trying to install this rom on my Note 9, but I can't because of error during the TWRP installation. It says

Unmounting System...
Failed! Can't unzip 7za package!
Aborting, no changes have been been made...

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

I have TWRP 3.7.0_90. Coming from custom Alexis rom. I feel like there is a problem with compatibility between TWRP and this installation file rather than the fact that I'm not on stock firmware right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Rudolf Voltz:
After some testing I have concluded that it is indeed because of my previous rom. I wiped everything, installed official stock firmware and after that I had no errors.

EDIT

Now I have another problem. I can't manage to install the ROM at all. I have Note 9 n960n and currently on stock KOO firmware. I tried to install this ROM with geiti94's unofficial TWRP 3.2.3-0 and with the latest official 3.7.0, but no matter what I do I get this

...

Wiping /data/dalvik-cache...

Installation complete

Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/odm' (No such file or directory)

And after this the phone is in bootloop and I am unable to boot. Please can anyone help me?

Wifi security force close when i press it in setting. Anyone have it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
I'm currently using OrangeFox as recovery and on lastest rom. Try to format your device with official N960N rom, then try DevBase. There must be a error on some place. This is the most clean way to solve your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
Nope. There is no problem. Did you make dirty flash or clean install? Maybe some firmware update caused this. Just try to clean caches and check if any app is frozen or broken. If not, just make a new install. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] oldman20:
Clean flash bro. So your wifi security working?

i odin FWB3 with BTU region fw downloaded, then clean install and flash DevBase

I'm using the latest version from here. Just follow the instructions of OP. You can download directly from OP's GDrive link.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:

I am not an expert, but I have a feeling there is something wrong with OEM partitions. ODM and OEM are very sensitive with size and configuration and any small mistake will lead to an error.

So if i want install rom with encryption, must flash twice to force encrypt? And can i just use twrp 3.2.30 only for format /data, then use new twrp for install rom?

If encrypt data, twrp still can see sdcard Storage or not?

I just made a dirty flash with last version. Everything seems good bu I lost built-in call recording feature and waiting for optimization at every startup. What is wrong? Does anyone know something about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Arobase404:
@_alexndr DevBase ROM is still using an older version of Magisk. So download a newer version (Magisk v26.1), reboot in TWRP, umount system partition, then flash Magisk zip file and finally reboot.

If you don't have access to the built-in call recording then do the following :

When done, download Zygist-LSPosed module (should be v1.8.6 (612)) and install it with Magisk manager. At next reboot you should have a new shortcut for LSPosed manager on the welcome display.

Download and install FireFds Kit (Q) module version.

Do some setups in the LSPosed manager to activate this module and reboot again.

Finally, you should have access to the FireFds Kit module and you can activate the call recording feature and many other features... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
I've done all the things you said for magisk and lsposed. I also have firefdskit but I've never seen call recording option there :) .

OMG actually! Thanks Arobase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ExileTM:
hi Alexander, I searched the thread but didn't solve it, so I ask here hoping for some help. I have a Note9 variant N, I downloaded your latest devrom available, 7.4.

Now out of necessity I modified the option.prop file so that it does NOT install root (false), because I need the rom not to have root at all, but that tima is set to 0, otherwise Health doesn't work for me.

Only that once I finish installing the rom without root, the phone goes into bootloop and keeps restarting. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Do I need to install any additional kernel patches? What files do I need to fix the bootloop?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jet_iso:
Try to make restart with "volume up + volume down + power" combination. I saw this issue many times when update/clean install DevBase. Just make a force restart, it will be fixed probably. Work on my side everytime. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ExileTM:
Nothing to do, the bootloop continues, the Samsung Note 9 logo appears (the SAMSUNG bootlogo doesn't even appear), it stays there for 2 seconds and restarts, and so on indefinitely, I also tried a wipe davil chace, but the result is the same.

Considering the severe lack of support and updates on the matter 10 pro for the USA, would you consider buying another Huawei device?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] fefofefosa:
Yes, but I will not buy the US version even if it comes without warranty, I just learned that I'll never buy a US version on any Android phone, for example, Samsung phones cannot unlock the bootloader on the US version so you can't root it or install other rom, and you will get updates months after the international version, same thing happens to LG about the updates, I have the Mate 10 Pro, and I will probably buy the Mate 20 Pro on March, if there is a US version I won't be buying it
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] STEELBAS:
Their decision to stop providing keys for unlocking the bootloader means that I wouldn't buy Huawei again, really. They have nothing to gain from it apart from locking users into their system, and I can't stand that sort of thing in a product I bought and own.
