Sounds like you don't have the appropriate model.

You can't use this on the sm-n960u
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] adgj533:
Can I use this method to get twrp on my Tmobile note 9? or is it not possible because of the locked bootloader. I heard that if you call Tmobile and ask to unlock bootloader they sometimes do it, is that true?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
Never heard that one. Never hurts to yet but I doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] doombuger:
TMobile is a n960u variant which is any North American note 9 device. All north American variants have a locked bootloader. I believe calling TMobile would only achieve getting the device carrier unlocked. However the n9600 snapdragon could work with TMobile and other American carriers with some tinkering... the n9600 has the unlocked bootloader for things like twrp and custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] KOLIOSIS:
No to TWRP or ROMs on SM-M960U OR U1,regardless of carrier firmware.

SIM Unlocking is all T-Mobile will do with any phone & is totally independent of bootloader unlocking.

The only phone T-Mobile sells that has anything to do w/bootloader unlocking is the OnePlus 6T & the SIM Unlock is just a step one has to take in this one particular case before that bootloader can be unlocked,the rest is done with One Plus after the SIM Unlocking is done.

I'm guessing that's what you've heard about recently,but,in the case with any other phone,SIM Unlocking & Bootloader unlocking are totally independent of each other & the carriers in any circumstance have absolutely nothing to do with the actual bootloader unlock of any phone.

So,in summary,if you want root/TWRP/ROM(s) on a Snapdragon Note 9, the SM-N9600 is your only choice.

SM-N9600 for Verizon

Do I need to put the SIM card into the phone before installing the bootloader? Please help. I will soon use this phone and would like for it to work on the Verizon network.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
No. Sim is not required until you are ready to use it for your service.

Try this ROM to change CSC for better functionality. I flashed the tmbdetonator and was able to use wifi calling and VoLTE. You will need to follow Klabit87's instructions in the OP before flashing the rom via TWRP.

Until Knox Counter

I was playing around in ES File Explorer and modified /system/build.prop

ro.confing.knox=v30
ro.cinfig.tima=1

to

ro.config.knox=0
ro.config.tima=0

Now S Health works and my Knox counter is no longer 0x1

Secure folder tries to create the folder then errors. I am still working on a work around for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Changing ro.config.knox=v30 to 0 causes copy and paste issues. It's better to just keep that as it is. As for secure folder, even though you are seeing 0x0 you'll never get secure folder to work correctly. It goes deeper than that, same reason once you trip Knox, Samsung pay will never work again. Though I'd love to be proved wrong.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] live4thamuzik:
Thanks for the heads up on that I will look for problems.

So far no copy and paste issues experienced, S Health Works, and Watches can be paired and used now. However Watches wont repair after a reboot on their own so I have to wipe the watch and reset up from a backup.

I'm not sure if my rom is helping but I flashed Detonator Extreme ROM to Change CSC to TMB and modified files in /odm and /system/omc to point to a SM-N960UOYN1ARG6. Which enabled WiFi Calling, VoLTE, and Video Calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Last time I checked, detonator was just a csc installer and not a full rom. The copy and paste thing was intermittent, you never know though, it may not be an issue any more.

The Bluetooth thing is a pain, I know there is a magisk module that may help if you want to test that. I'll try find a link, hold on

Edit.. just search libsecure in magisk downloads, that module that pops up is meant to address the Bluetooth issue

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] live4thamuzik:
awesome, thanks. So I can find a bunch of files related to Knox, secure folder, and Samsung pay but they are all encrypted. I'm going to try to copy them to my kali linux VM and attempt to break the encryption.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

I found the module. libsecure storage companion for rooted Samsung devices. that did work after install and reboot. thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Hardtec:
Interesting my friend live4thamuzik ...

tell us more about the effects of the procedure on changing the build.prop !!!

"S Health" working without any problem? ....

Any other side effects?

Thank you for your action!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] live4thamuzik:
At first I found S Health working, along with Secure WIFI and Secure Bluetooth. Later on did start noticing copy and paste problems, as Mentalmuso mentioned, so I changed...

ro.config.knox=0

back to

ro.config.knox=v30

Restarted my phone and problem solved, copy and paste works again, and s health still works. (Thanks Mentalmuso)

Try at you own risk and always make backups before modifying your phone! This was an older working method of disabling Knox for rooted note 5 and I tried on my note9. The original post is in the note5 form here on xda, I dont remember who posted it. I take zero credit for this and hold no responsibility if something goes wrong.

HOW TO:

Download ES File Explorer from Play Store

Open ES File Explorer, tap the menu button in the top left and select internal storage.

Navigate from: /storage/emulated/0/ to /system .

Scroll down and open the build.prop file in ES Note Editor Just Once.

Tap the edit button, scroll down to this line only:

252 ro.config.tima=1

Change it to:

ro.config.tima=0

Tap save, tap edit again, restart phone. Open s health.

Hello, trying to get some help with the N9600 fro. RAC. Did you happen to get it rooted? I cant access developer options unless I bypass the setup process in the begining but didnt see any oem unlock option and usb debugging was grayed out and couldnt turn it on. Been looking for another N9600 stick firmware to odin flash and see if it would remove RAC Knox block into developer options with an oem unlock and usb debugging option but I've had no luck. I tried the sammobile site but I keep getting the time out popup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed magisks updated to version 18.0.

I have a galaxy note 9 n9600 with magisk 17.3, would it be safe to update magisk to 18.0 in the magisk manager?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] SamAccountX:
Same here, updated to 18 via the app and rebooted, still passing safety checks no prob. If you prefer to be safe, boot into TWRP and do a backup before updating just in case (always a good practice, storage is cheap after all and you can copy backups to your PC via USB).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Skulldriver:
Got it working :)

Next question...now after the update I fail basic and cts safetynet in magisks...

I unticked magiskhide restarted and ticked it on again.... I then hid root from a root checker that successfully verified there was root, once hidden it couldn't verify root... humm not sure what I should do.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
The state of bootloader unlock doesn't change with the flashing of Odin packages. If you flash this you will soft brick your device.

When I first got my phone and enabled dev option it gave me the OEM unlock. I clicked it and changed other thing then moved on. Now when I go back to dev option it's not there. Is this what is meant in the instruction for clicking that option only once for the n9600?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] q2n:
Many thanks for your ongoing work. With Pie on the way in 1st quarter 2019, I'm trying to nail down a longterm update strategy for this phone.

Assuming the recovery space remains untouched by future updates, my current plan is: flash update, flash magisk (assuming magisk will be able to patch the system as needed). If trouble, restore backup.

Should work ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
It is likely that pie will require an update of the bootloader.

If so, I will compile twrp updated with pie kernel source as soon as source is released.

But yes, if it is as simple as updating vendor, system, and kernel then your method will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Airtioteclint:
Do we still need to flash the custom kernel as magisk is supposed to remove defex as of V17.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
Not sure. You can try it though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Airtioteclint:
It failed although I'm not sure if i did it right.

I extracted the boot img from odin files and flashed in twrp. Flashed magisk v18.0 and when i rebooted i got a white message in top left corner. It was hard to make out the first part because of the rounded screen but it did say press any key to shutdown.

So I guess the answer is yes, your custom kernel is still needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Yeah magisk isn't able to remove defex on our device. Though, it shouldn't stop you from booting.

I'll double check myself though, as it's been about 2 months since I've booted the stock kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] vivabonito:
I am wondering if anyone else has had the same problems as me and can help me.

I have done all of the instructions in this thread on my Hong Kong N9600 8.1 stock ROM, installed TWRP, Magisk, custom kernel, and Detonator, and everything is working (VoLTE does not work on Rogers Wireless here in Canada, but that's something I can live without).

However, I have had 3 problems:

1. Since I recovered all of my applications (app + data) via Titanium Backup, none of my notifications except for Google Apps (GApps) and messaging (Pulse SMS) are working. I tried several GCM Push Notifications Fixer apps, clearing the Dalvik Cache and Cache, uninstalling and reinstalling each app, and clearing each app's data and cache and re-logging in, but nothing has fixed the push notifications.

2. When trying to use Smart Manager (which is now an independent app in the app drawer as opposed to a submenu in the Settings menu), most of its options are functional except for Ultra Data Saving, S Power Planning (under Battery), and Save Power (under Battery), which all crash the app with an "Android System has stopped" error.

3. Finally, a lot of apps that require root which worked before on my Nougat Note 5 (also rooted with Magisk) get stuck trying to gain root access even though my phone is clearly rooted (other apps like Titanium Backup are able to gain root access no problem). Such apps include System UI Tuner, Island, BetterBatteryStats, and GSM Battery Monitor, among others.

Do you guys have any suggested fixes to these issues? I would be ever so grateful. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
You may have better luck not restoring data, the magisk thing is a pain but happens all the time on first boot. I've found that if you open a root app and just go about your business and eventually, sometimes after 5 min itll throw a pop-up for that app.

I remember once upon a Time on a different device, restoring titanium data did break push noti on Google voice for me. Maybe this is related in some way.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Also, I'm sure you're doing this.. but you should be flashing magisk after flashing the kernel.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Aaand... Flashing detonator changes a lot of things including smart manager. It adds a lot of function from the Chinese smart manager.

There is a stock version of detonator which may work better for you.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] vivabonito:
First of all, thank you for your quick response and help, and Happy New Year! :)

Are you referring to "MINI_DETONATOR_N9_OREO-8.1_TMO_EFS-CSC_v3_INT_TEKHD" as opposed to "DETONATOR_EXTREME_MOD_N9_OREO-8.1_TMO_EFS-CSC_v4.2.tmb_INT_TEKHD" (which is what I flashed)? I reinstalled just the ROM via Odin, and everything is working again, including notifications and Device Manager (in Settings menu, not as a separate app as with the Detonator). So, be very careful if using this Detonator; it can do more harm than good. Battery life is great again.

Also, the some apps not being able to gain root access problem I was having (with apps like GSam Battery Monitor, AdAway, etc.) was caused by my restoring of Magisk Manager data with Titanium Backup, which I have learned should not be done under any circumstances on a new installation or device. So, hopefully, that helps others as well. For Island, I found out that it checks Knox status as with any other app that uses Google's Work profile in Android, and since we do not have a root method that does not trip Knox yet for this device (my old Note 5 did, which is why I was able to use Secure Folder and Island without any problems), it seems like there is no way to use apps like Secure Folder or Island, in addition to the usual suspects (Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, etc.).

Since I did not do a complete wipe before reinstalling the stock ROM, I still have "T roaming" and "Service provider" submenus under the Settings menu from the T-Mobile Detonator but tapping on them does nothing. I was wondering if you guys know how to fix this without a thorough wipe and reinstall? I am hoping that there is an easier fix. Please let me know!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
T roaming etc is there because you currently have no csc/omc/odm at all. Detonator wipes out the odm partition which is what this device uses stock, and uses /system/omc. It kind of leaves users in a predicament where you need to flash back the stock odm img, but you also need to set the mps_code in efs back to TGY.

If you want to get to TMO csc, I am currently working on and updating my odm installer in my rom which I can share as a separate zip if you like.

Mini detonator is the stock csc yes, but it still installs it at /system/omc not stock /odm

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] vivabonito:
Yes, I would greatly appreciate that! And would your zip remove or fix those dead submenus under the Settings menu? Also, your zip does not change the Device Manager into a separate Smart Manager app and therefore break a variety of built-in settings like the Detonator does, does it? Please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Yeah, it will.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
