I'm under the assumption that the pin issue resides in the kernel or securestorage mod. I've wiped data and flashed 3.1 rom. But before booting I flashed the older RH2 based kernel, I also removed the securestorage mod that fixes Bluetooth.

So far I haven't had any issue with lockscreen security. 24hours into it. I'll keep on with this setup for the day, I can't help but think it may be the secure storage mod. So will be flashing the RJ6 kernel back tonight if all goes well. Then another day of testing.

If anyone else wants to replicate what I'm doing great. Otherwise hold tight.

It's in the system, nothing to do with kernel or Bluetooth fix. Which sucks, because now I have to find out why.

PinFix (possibly)

If some of you that are experiencing this right now, flash this and let me know how it goes?

It just changes a single line in vendor/build.prop

I see reference to Sprint in the OP, does this work for Sprint devices?? If so, that's the best birthday present I could ask for!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Threx71:
I read about this somewhere, it is not my case, this is the fix for "error 5.2" or something like that. I believe it has to do with something you debloated, since I read that netflix has some drm related files in android SO (also change from vendor to vendor).

For the pin thing, I have experienced it again just once, and I think is something magisk or command line fast reboot related.

Fisrt time it happened was after flashing a magisk module for youtube, I did a fast reboot inside magisk.

The second time I updated AdAway host file and also did a fast reboot from within the app.

Both times solved after a simple "normal soft reboot"

Hope this helps, also here is a screenshot of what I'm running.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
I really haven't debloated much to be honest. And Netflix is working fine for me. So not sure, I know locale was set to GB in build.prop which I normally set to US but forgot. Maybe that has something to do with it

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
I've just been told it's magisk, for Netflix. If your not passing safety net then no netflix

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Threx71:
That's weird, on my s7 I wasn't passing safety net either and Netflix worked perfectly.

I just checked and i'm not passing safety net now.

I'll check the web to see if there is a modded apk or something like that. Any workaround would do it.

Hello everyone. I want to use this ROM but im reading that there is a problem with the lock screen's security? In which version is everything working fine 3.0 or 3.1? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] rbedell:
I'm currently on ARJ7 stock ATT. I tried to get a disabler working to disable updates but failed. Can I still use twrp and this? Or am I too far in software updates to root?

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]

I have a snapdragon variant running ARJ7 stock ATT in the US. Is it still possible to root, install TWRP and install your ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Threx71:
Technically as long as you can unlock the bootloader (and you have a compatible variant) you can do it without any problem.

Now there might be a problem with baseband but you should wait and see what mentalmuso says.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jotade:
Hi. You should see what Model is your phone. Not all Note 9 are rootables. For example this version of WETA is for the N9600 Only
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] rbedell:
SM-N960U
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Threx71:
Exactly what I said, this variant is NOT compatible with the recovery and rom. As far as I know, even if the hardware is the same, your variant is locked by software, so not much to do there for now. Just wait and keep an eye on the developers if someone takes that variant and help rooting it.

:/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
There is, it causes the need for a reboot to get the pin to work. Though.. I have been running WETA 3.2 (unreleased) for days now without issue.

I am on vacation until Dec 13 and away from my web server, though I uploaded it to Mega.co.nz and can link it here which I'll probably do today.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Hey guys, I'm a bit "out of the loop" with this whole process, but I acquired a HK n9600, I'm wanting to use on a Verizon MVNO (Total), I've got an active sim from my previous phone.

After a few missteps, and various times figuring out misc kanji I didn't understand, I managed to unlock BL and flash TWRP successfully, boot.img, magisk, decrypt, and finally WETA rom. This all appears to be working fine now, although I don't get signal for Verizon, assuming because I don't have the bands unlocked, and I need to flash a different CSC or other? I've got the Puerto Rico firmware for the n9600.

Am I on the right track here, or am I missing something else? Can I flash CSC only at this point, with TWRP or Odin, or do I need the whole firmware, and/or should I have done this previous to everything else? I was(am) a bit confused about this part, as I didn't want to flash PR firmware and make a mistake and be stuck waiting 7 days on OEM unlock. This is good because I did make a mistake flashing TWRP after OEM unlock, but with HK firmware, there was no issue, and I was able to try again, without waiting.

Anyway, I know a couple of you guys are using these phones with VZW, which is what prompted me to get one, I'm just hoping for a little guidance here, as the pucker factor is still a bit high, not knowing exactly what I'm doing or how much damage I can do, if I make a wrong move!

Thanks!

Edit: Also, do I need to flash one of the modem files, and what specifically are they for?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jotade:
Thanks man. Im usinng 3.0 with no problems at all. Before using your ROM i was on stock R6J anyway. Maybe thats why i have no issues. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
You know you could be right. I did update to the RJ6 bootloader at the same time as my other "fixes". I'll recommend that when I post the update. You don't happen to have the BL portion of the firmware zip do you? I'm not anywhere near my laptop and would be good to have one to link to

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
WETA 3.2

This update really was the culmination of attempts to fix the lockscreen pin and pattern issues. Basically the pattern or pin would fail and a reboot would be needed for it to succeed again.

I disabled securestorage via script in vendor/build.prop

Removed TuiService apk in vendor via script. (Trusted UI)

This is all included in this update. I strongly recommend updating to the latest bootloader RJ6. Do this via Odin. I'll try and link this somehow later. I'm currently overseas and will be until mid December.

And just so you know, I've been running lockscreen security for 7 days now and haven't had to reboot at all.

Thank you. Enjoy the vacation!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
I believe that what you need to do is go into the weta mod app then go to other options in there you will see an option for carrier csc/omc/odm then select verizon and let it do its thing. Hope that gets you going

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Where should we go to download RJ6 bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Thanks for responding elevatorguy. Since asking, I found this section of the Weta mod app you mentioned, unfortunately, the reason I hadn't found it previously, is because for some reason it runs extremely poorly for me, I initially thought the app was just not finished, because when I attempted to open it, I'd see only a white screen. I found eventually that it would load, especially if I tabbed back in from the home screen, however, whenever I try to use those csc options, and apply the settings, it locks up (just the program), when I try to click the "OK" button, when the "Apply settings" verification box opens. If I stay in the app and keep the screen from blanking, sometimes I'll get a system "Application not responding" prompt, and if I hit "wait" eventually the dialogue will disappear, and the program will respond again, but nothing changes. After clicking the Verizon box, even though the program indicates that the phone will restart, nothing happens. If I restart manually, nothing changes.

FWIW I did flash Weta 3.2 rom that I downloaded yesterday from the OP link. Should I try the previous version perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jotade:
Sorry my friend i dont have that. Once again everything is perfect with v3.0 over stock RJ6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
To get the app working better try uninstalling magisk manager app just the app not the Uninstaller zip. Sometimes magisk gets cranky granting root, there's a couple of posts about it if you search. That should make it work better. If that doesn't work there is another zip you could try flashing (search in the exynos section) don't want to offend Mentalmuso by posting it in his thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Thanks man, this definitely made the WETA mod app run properly, however, when I click the "carrier options" setting which claims it will cause an automatic reboot, click apply settings and hit ok, it says "carrier script executed" or similar, and that's it. Doesn't appear to do anything, doesn't reboot. If I reboot manually, nothing seems to be changed, and magisk manager is back.

Frankly I have no idea why/if I need magisk, it was just listed in the install instructions for twrp, and reading through the thread it seemed somewhat ambiguous whether it was or was not necessary.

Should I remove it fully?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
So I tried a supplemental thing for verizon csc listed in the Exynos section, which gave me the verizon boot logo, and doesn't seem to interfere with WETA, I'm finally able to see Verizon and when I boot, I get a 4g LTE signal, and Sim shows registered on the network. However, no data, and if I attempt to make a call, it drops immediately, and loses connection. Then a dialogue will pop up asking me if I want to go into "Global" mode.

After this regardless, I get no signal, and sim status shows unregistered again, for a while, or until I reboot. You guys have any idea if this is an indication of me being sim blocked or something? I'm wondering if I need to try and register my device's IMEI with the MVNO, but after reading another thread where you guys that are using n9600 on verizon, and some guy claiming they wont accept out of region IMEI (although he also was vehement about n9600 not working on verizon and clearly doesn't know wtf he's talkinga about), I'm worried that may make things worse.

Any ideas? Sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
Keep magisk you need it for root without root weta mod app will not work along with many other things. As for the signal I can think of two things one is do you have advanced calling active on your number? If not activate it I was trying to fix wifi calling and disabled advanced calling and after I did I had the same problem make a call immediately would hang up and would be left with 3g. The other thing it could be is a sim card problem mine killed the sim while messing around. But to get a new sim I would bring your old phone have them activate the new sim in the old phone then put it in the new one. That way they can't give you the "It's not a verizon phone we can't help you" If those to things don't work you will need someone smarter than me. You could get on telegram and talk to the guy whos zip you flashed he is very active and helpful there should be a link in the thread. Hope you can get get it going let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Thanks again man, I really appreciate the help.

I don't think I have advanced calling activated, is this a carrier setup option, i.e. with my account, or a phone configuration option? I'm actually on a verizon MVNO (Total Wireless) which is a Tracfone/Walmart company, when you check "Mobile Networks" "Access Point Names" it connects to "Verizon Internet: TRACFONE.VZWENTP". I see this listed with the N9 now currently and it shows connected fine until I try to call, but of course, while I see a full 4G LTE cell signal icon on the top bar, I never see any data connection.

SIM is still working, I just put it back in my old phone and it's functional still, but I may try to get a new one regardless.

Either way, feels like progress. I'm wondering if maybe there's some conflict with the WETA app CSC stuff that didn't seem to work, and this other CSC thing, so I'll try reflashing both, if that doesn't work, I'll check that Telegram channel.

Thanks so much guys, you're awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
Advanced calling is added via Verizons site I don't know about tracfone or if they even call it the same thing. But it sounds like some progress has been made.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Yeah I got on the total wireless site, and looked through everything, but they don't have any feature options available like this. It's pretty stripped down service.

To make things even weirder, I can send and receive sms messages as long as I don't attempt to make a call. Once I do, it drops service. However, if I put the sim back in my old S6, it works fine for calls, sms, data, etc, no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
The app downloads a 120mb or so zip. Once it's downloaded the phone will automatically reboot and install the zip. Rebooting manually will break that process.

I've updated a post to add some better instruction on this feature.

I was concerned this may be the case, after trying a few times, thanks for clarifying! I'm gonna try and wipe and reflash and see if I can make this work correctly.

Is there anything special I need to do to make sure and completely wipe anything that may be affecting my ability to get data and make calls?

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Also, do I need to flash this TGY_RJ6_Modem.zip ?

A little question I wanted to ask a while ago but I forgot. What exactly do weta sound mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
I've just tested this, the download took 35 sec for me. The zip is hosted on a 1gbps server in Texas, and I am currently in New Zealand downloading on a 2mbps connection.

You may want to look at your connection.

Supplying you the direct link will just give you half of what's needed to set your CSC. You have to do it through the app.

Sorry didn't see it there the last time I looked. Is it ok to flash if still on 3.0 with the kernel it came with. I don't know if with samsung the modem is connected with anything rom wise. Have a couple more questiona. One awhile back you said something about using 960u firmware but the modem soft bricked the phone are roms for the exynos close enough to the snapdragon (minus the bootloader and modem) that one would work on the other or is it a hell no situation? Two if coming from 3.0 to 3.2 do I need to wipe data? I have not been having the pin lock problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Yes flashing on 3.0 is fine

You're taking a risk flashing anything exynos on these snapdragon devices. Keep away from that.

[emoji450]--->
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
Will not take the risk if not recommended by you. What about the data wipe question?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
That's so strange man, for whatever it appears to still be downloading, but I'm on a 60 Mb connection, with good routes to TX, all the nominal app updates DL in a couple seconds. I'll try restarting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
Yeah if you want to start again just reboot. I'll get you the link to the server, as long as the download isn't renamed and is sitting in Download folder the WETAmod app will work without having to download. Just have the zip there waiting, then go into WETAmod app and select the CSC code you want. You need to use the app so it sets your efs to the correct CSC.

Sorry got delayed on retrying this a couple of days, haven't had a moment to think, let alone work on this phone.

I put both those files in my Downloads folder on the system drive, but still seems to be downloading a file very slow. I'm assuming I need to use the VZW carrier options for verizon? Can you direct link the VZW odm if so?

I'm also having to uninstall the magisk app each time I reboot, to get Wetamod app to work, is this ok, or do I need magisk for wetamod to have root and be able to implement? Even if I set "carrier options" to TGY, it still appears to sit, downloading a file, and doesn't do anything. Do I need to unzip the files perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Mentalmuso:
I really don't know what's going on with your device. If you haven't properly wiped data you need to start there.

WETAmod needs root to function. Do yeah, make sure magisk is working and granting root to WETAmod before using it.

/sdcard/Download is the folder you put the zip into.

XAA odm contains all USA files.

HI, I have remained loyal to Samsung and the Note since the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and since the Note 8 I have been using your Custom Rome. Now my question? I am the proud owner of the new Note 9 and would be happy if I could also benefit from the Weta Rome here. When is the exception for the Exynos version. Thank you for your great work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elevatorguy:
Where can we go to download RJ6 bootloader? I know you said you would link later but I know you're on vacation now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
Hey guys, just wanted to update you, finally got data and calls working! Still have some odd-ball hand-over issues, switching from 4g/lte to 3g, etc, but it's HUGE progress!

FWIW your past post Mentalmuso really helped me, thank you.

For anybody else using the carrier configs, I personally, had to make sure and run the Magisk Manger app, after first boot, not uninstall it, before it would properly ask for root permission for Weta Rom App, so that this would run correctly. For some reason before running Magisk, it would just give me a blank screen, unless I uninstalled the Magisk app. I also ran the SafetyNet check in Magisk manager, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

Is VoLTE enabled/configured somehow in Weta? I believe that's why when I tried to make calls before, they would drop and I'd lose LTE signal. I'm not certain VoLTE service is possible with my MVNO.

For anyone else having issues with a Verizon MVNO, the CSC's alone didn't fix the problem, I showed signal but still no data or calls, just sms would come through. I fixed this, by writing down all the APN information from my previous phone, that was working with same sim card. The Note9 was seeing verizon and using default APN for Verizon Wireless, in my case, I had to edit this APN, because it wouldn't let me add another for some reason. Changed APN for "Verizon Internet" from "vzwinternet" to "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" saved, and things started working. However, without the CSC changes, Verizon network wasn't even visible.

Hopefully that'll help anybody else with the same issue.

Thanks again everyone, especially Mentalmuso and Elevatorguy!

Quick question regarding this ROM:

Can you use a modified SIM Tray (the physical mod of using two SIM Cards & an SD Card) with this ROM,either baked-in,or via a Magisk Mod?

My apologies if this has been asked & answered.....................
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] javand:
You using the adapter on amazon or a physical mod? I'll try it if you can point me in the right direction. I'll have another sim in a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] KOLIOSIS:
I already have the Amazon adapter,it works just fine.

What I was wondering about is if the software/ROM has been patched/etc... to allow for it to work on this model/ROM (SM-N9600)

AFAIK,the mod was blocked by Samsung on the S9/S9+ about six months ago & it never worked on the Note 9,at least on a stock/locked/unrooted version.

I don't have this model yet,I still have the US SingleSIM Model.

However,if the Samsung block has been negated by either a patch/Magisk module/etc......,I'd be more inclined to sell mt US T-mobile model & get the SM-N9600 model.

I'm fairly certain over in the Exynos section,there's a couple of ROMs that have the the mod working via software patch built-in to the ROM(s)..................
