Root on Samsung S9+ and Android Pie is very unstable. Today I found Galaxy Apps stucking on updating Wifi protector, and while I was trying to cancel updating my Samsung turned off (or seemed to be off). I had to reset it with buttons combinations and restart it. I tried to updating Wifi protector some times, but always stucks. If I see that it continues to be unstable I have to restore the backup with Android 8 :(

p.s.: seems to be harder having a rooted devices with Samsung smartphone. This sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NICOMONI:
This happens to me too, I decided not to update wifi. Anyway this is not working in rooting devices.

I hope soon there will be a better method to root without so many issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] keysteal:
Do you have any idea how to prevent auto-update with Galaxy Apps? I found my S9+ with Galaxy App that have been updating Samsung Apps, and this is why I found Wifi protector stucking during installation.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] NICOMONI:
You can disposable this easily, just push the three dots at the upper right part of the screen, go to settings and you will see the option, is the first one.

OK, totally confused. I've been running custom kernels since the original XDA (yeah, I'm old - check my join date...) and up to the HTC HD2, and later I have been rooting everything I've had of Android. But this version just won't give root! I have tried with both the kernels in the setup (the ElementalX-S9-2.01.zip and the TGP with built-in Magisk v2.1.2 - 2019-01-26), but Magisk Manager is not in the apps (neither is BusyBox, when I use the TGP kernel), and I don't have root. This is my flow (partly copied from earlier posts her):

-Flashed the last pie build with Odin

-enabled unlock OEM

-during the restart after enabling that I pressed power+Bixby+vol down to get into flash mode again

-flashed TWRP (tried both the latest twrp-3.2.3-0-starlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.1-1-starlte.img.tar, wich gave me root with Oreo) while holding power+Bixby+vol up to get straight into TWRP

-formatted data, reboot into recovery again, allow modifications (I tried read only too, didn't seem to matter)

-flashed no verity opt version 1, went back

-flashed kernel elemental (or TGP with Magisk and Busy Box/ADB)

-flashed magisk (not when flashing TGP)

-rebooted and drank a beer last night during the first attemps and a can of Coke Zero now, since it takes forever to boot

But no root. It works, but I was looking for root. :confused:

On my last attempt something has changed, because now I can't get into Play Store, it keeps crashing. So...try again. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xXSWagnemitEXx:
sometimes it is needed to install the magisk manager apk

I had the same issue,

For first boot you can wait 5 minutes, then force reboot (then it will boot fine)

Probaly magisk is installed correctly but sometimes the manager isn't installed so you need to do this manually

(btw i made a guide for root maybe you can check that out)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Thanks! And damn, that was one fast answer! Fastest gun in the West? :cowboy:

So how do you install the APK, do you use ADB, or what? I assume doing it from Play Store won't work. ;) I have done a wipe from TWRP and I will try to install the APK when it gets back up. If that doesn't work I'll do another full walkthrough with your guide, thanks for that!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xXSWagnemitEXx:
you can download the apk from here, no adb nothing :)

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.1.0/MagiskManager-v6.1.0.apk

please note that you need to enable unknown sources
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
Great, thanks! I will try that when it's up again. Then I will also know if this mistake (not installing the Magisk manager when it's not there) is fixable with a wipe and a new setup. I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xXSWagnemitEXx:
No problem :) please let me know :)

What do you mean with

(if the first boot after reset takes too long, hold the power button + volume down for 10 sec, then reboot it normal it should boot fine then :) )
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
I mean that I tried a second time to flash only the no verity and kernel/magisk because I thought the flash somehow didn't work the first time, but that didn't go so well. I still can't get into Play Store, it keeps crashing. But I'll do a full new attempt following your guide. Maybe you should mention using the APK in the guide? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xXSWagnemitEXx:
alright, please let me know :) If you have any problems i am pleased to help :)

Thanks for the tip, i will add this in my guide aswell :D

Hello, i have the same issue, when i install magisk via twrp it goes well but after reboot there is nothing no root, no magisk manager. I tried to install manually but it always stuck on installing, i can wait for 30 minutes but it won't install. Can you help me please ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Mastiff:
I followed the guide with the modifications that's made to it, and it worked. The difference was the kernel. It didn't work with the Elemental kernel, but all was good (and is still good after three weeks) with the TGP kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] thewoolysheep08:

Do you know where I can find version 6 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] revtech101:
You guys all formatted with TWRP but never mention of flashing a ROM!

What is the phone suppose to boot into after using TWRP to format?

I don't get it. How or what did it boot into? How was the ROM not wiped out when one formats using TWRP?

I rooted my G965F/DS plus with the latest TWRP by:

1 - Unlock bootloader on Samsung oem ROM. Phone will factory reset but you must boot back into Download mode and not let it restart.

2-Flash latest TWRP using Odin. Phone will reboot automatically if you leave odin settings untouched. You must reboot into TWRP and not let it boot into Android.

3-Format using TWRP so that you can actually use MTP to move files into the internal storage of the device. Reboot without install.

4-Now that your PC can see a formatted hard drive, one can actually paste files into it. Transfer files that you plan to flash root.

5-After Root is flashed, flash your ROM!

6-Now you may Boot into the system(Android).

Now your phone will actually boot up because there is a ROM to boot into.

The problem I have is that the safety net fails and I am not able to use Google pay and Samsung health or Samsung pass.

Who can carry me from here?

So is there a root for android pie? I want to root. I cant seem to get OEM unlock to appear in developers option. I even followed the steps for the time and date thing which idk why would matter since I had the phone for 6 months. But I have no option for OEM unlock so what do I do

HeY people, did someone try this? Some experience with this method? I am waiting for weekend to have some time to walk this way to root. All other methods that I have tried before, did not work for my s9 sm-g960f, located in Serbia.

UPDATE: Tried by myself, and this is the only method that actually work! After a week of use, the phone remains stable and fully operational. So, give this method a try!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Doeyourthing:
First

Step 8 it's not almost correctly.

IMPORTANT: As soon as you hit Start, it only takes 5 seconds for the ODIN program to finish flashing TWRP recovery on your Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus. As soon as your phone reboots(screen goes blank), YOU NEED TO HOLD DOWN VOLUME DOWN, BIXBY, AND POWER BUTTONS TOGETHER! If you mess up this step, YOU WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL STOCK FIRMWARE(unroot) AND HAVE TO WAIT 7 DAYS. If this is your first time, please watch the video tutorial and master the buttons before attempting!!!

This has to be YOU NEED TO HOLD DOWN VOLUME UP, BIXBY, and when the screen goes off PRESS THE POWER BUTTONS If you do this with volume DOWN you will messup the installation.

IF you messup this step you have to wait 7 days., thats correct. But but. I did mess this step on purpose and you can follow the step below to fix the 7 days. And Its works. I try it three times

LINK RMM OEM UNLOACK FIX

Second

After data Wipe and type "yes" and go back to home menu

Step 12. IMPORTANT, go back to the home menu, choose “Reboot” menu then choose “Recovery” AND HIT DO NOT INSTALL to reboot TWRP. Do not swipe

With the instructions from the youtube video it easy. Please see the youtube video a few times

Hello, i have a problem. I followed this turtorial: https://www.teamandroid.com/2018/03/16/install-galaxy-s9-twrp-recovery/2/

And now i have a bootloop and i dont know where the mistake was.

I think it must have been flashing the No verity script, in the turtorial i should have checked boot and kernel, flashing it but in my TWRP was only the option "boot".

Please help me.

How to rescue it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Rooted.ndroid:
I guess you have the answer by now still the date and time method works like a charm for me every time.

First Flight mode ON auto update date and time OFF. Set a date of months before then reboot, after that just connect to wifi and reboot. BOOM there's OEM unlocking in the Dev Opts.

Having same issue on U6. None of the custom kernels could solve the issue. Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AH2016:
I made a video on my youtube channel about the NOTE 9 - ZAGG Curve Elite, long story short i either got a defective unit or the quality of this products is not good at all, take a look for yourself.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
This protector absolutely BLOWS. Mine was so full of bubbles and while trying to work them out the glass cracked just using the included squeegee.

I've installed tons of protectors over the years and this one is a complete fail.

Zagg charged me $9.99 for a replacement and I don't think I'm even going to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AH2016:
Yeh I think it's well worth paying the extra and getting something like a whitestone dome
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
This ZAGG Elite is more than the Whitestone Dome at $49.99

Yea, I'm just not too crazy about spreading glue all over the face of my phone. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] cereal86:
Got this one, and i very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AH2016:
Which one? The curve elite or?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
If you going to get an "Edge Sticker" mind as well just get the G-Pel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AH2016:
In the end I got one of them whitestone copies on ebay with the glue, went on perfect and only cost me like £7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Every time i see someone put one of these on i cry.

Not defecting its from an improper install. You can not squeegee a zagg elite that hard because

-Adhesive is thick and super sticky. Air does not come out of it. Light heat helps but expect 15-20 min of working bubbles out by hand. Seriously. Light and smooth.

-Air bubbles with that thick of adhesive makes a high pressure point on the glass. Do this with any glass protector out there they all crack.

Install on this is horrible. I did one and outside of 20 min worth of getting out some bubbles it went on just fine. Second one if i had a bubble that was not coming out i used some really strong tape. Lifted the protector up with that then slowly let it down. That helped. Last one i used that with some light heat and it went on ok. Still a pain.

Now for the fun parts.

First one i had was defective. Protector had a bubble in the top right corner that would not come out. Measured the adhesive layer and it was 50um thicker in that corner. Defective unit and the store knew about that got a new one and it went on perfect.

Horrible design. One thing about Zagg is they have great products...But after its made they give it to someone there and they are in charger of gimping it. There job is to figure out how to make it slight worse. On the Elite they said well the normal one as the edge adhesive and that sucks so this has full so how can we made it suck just as much..I got it. Lets add some black borders that make the display just a hair smaller...And then we will make it so out of that black we get a little light leakage when its in a dark area. Seriously every Zagg product has one these where someone should of been fired. I mean whitestone did the same thing. They cut every corner they could and did not go out of there way to make the product worse like Zagg. They just used cheap stuff and try to tell people its the most amazing thing ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] N1NJATH3ORY:
i was like that spreading glue all over my 1000 pound Note 9 but dam it's worth it, it’s only a small drop of glue inside the bottle. The screen clarity touch sensitivity is amazing it’s well worth the 19 bucks i paid for it..

just make sure you put tons of masking or sell tape on your Note 9 before proceeding and make sure you cure it with uv light, and please take your time.

it just turns into soft rubbery glue, witch can be picked away but don’t mess around with the edges of the glass screen protector. As that will allow for dust to get in! But once on, you will never go back it's like there’s no protector I used a generic brand as it’s the exact same as Whitestone dome but you’re paying for the brand name Whitestone that’s why they are charging you 50+ bucks.

The 19 bucks one is the exact same as Whitestone dome I believe it is the same company that supply to Whitestone dome! See ebay link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T-Max-Li...h=item21473e6d52:g:RccAAOSwZ~tbkQZx:rk:1:pf:0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
They use different glass. I know where whitestone sources there adhesive and even got a price for it lol. It's from batches that can be sold under the company's brand name because its defective. So they sell it heavily discounted to places that. I did a lot of testing with that stuff.

But you dont need to tape it. That stuff comes off very easy because it never fully cures. And even fully cured the phones display has an fluoropolymer coating on it "Kinda like Teflon" So that helps a ton for getting the stuff off. Also any on the phone can be easily removed even fully cured with some Methanol. The stuff we use can be removed with Methanol and that stuff is 1000X better then that junk in those kits. Just dont use something like Dynmax 431-T and expect it to come off that easy. It wont, But the stuff in those kits comes off very easy. I'll plug the ports and dip my phone in it and not thing anything of it. However i would not put a drop of 431-T on my display if i ever want it to come off. But using the cheap kits "Whitestone is a cheap kit that's a fact and i proven this" You will get some de lamination at some point if you do not baby your phone. Pressure on the edges can cause it and even rapid temperature changes. And that's because at the end of the day its all defective. The tube that comes with the kit if it was quality and not messed up is around $20 per 0.1oz or 2.95ml. Its expensive i deal with these types of adhesives every day. But they are buying stuff that had issues during the mixing process and being sold off as a lower quality for $0.50 per 4oz or 118.2ml. I found who is the manufacturer of it is and who the suppler who is distributing it out of China is.

Sad note. I had 7 tubes of some high end Optical Adhesive that expired on the 27th. Little over $21,000 in the trash. Still good still works but since it is past that expiration date we can no longer use it for production. That was a lot of Adhesive....But even more money. We also scrap gold epoxy lol. But that stuff goes out to have the gold reclaimed from it.

But that price is what the Whitestone should cost. I mean for the adhesive they use its still a bit much but they gotta make money so its fair. I would pick that kit over the dome any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] munkypoo7:
So much of this.

It was a PITA to install but my install came out flawlessly. Though yeah, you have to take your time, be careful not to put too much pressure on the glass itself when installing. I found it best to relift the glass to expose the bubble in question, then smooth it out towards the edges with a felt wrapped squeegee...gently. Lifting the edges was the magic I used, much like installing a skin / car wrap, relieve the tension and squeegee smooth. Cracking glass on installation has always been a thing since the iPhone 4 days. If you put too much pressure in one location, pop. This is not a proper review video imo, user error does not constitute a bad review.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] N1NJATH3ORY:
Do you have a link where i can purchase the high end Optical Adhesive ? That you would use on your smartphone ? And thanks for the in-depth info respect!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] johninsf:
This product is awful. I got this put on at Best Buy 10 days ago and it is already cracked.

I have no idea what caused the break. No drop, no bang, no bump.

Zagg Lifetime warranty = $10 everytime you use it = basura

Tomorrow, I will drive 48 miles to San Jose Zagg and see if they will put on the Zagg film protector instead. Wish me luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Was the Best Buy install perfect with no bubbles or any problems? Maybe Zagg can get the Elite on perfect?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Slightly off topic. Would you know if cleaning the screen with alcohol wipes ( isopropyl) destroys the oleophobic coating or not ? I'm assuming it may after a given amount of times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pospi69:
I have this one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
It can where it down over time but no more then useing your phone. I refresh mine every other month with one of the $12 kits from Walmart. Each vial I get 2 uses out of. I just reseal the plastic vial after. So $12 gives you 4 uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] johninsf:
Yes. Best buy did a great job. No bubbles at all. The guy had to put it on twice. The first had dust. The next, he spent 15 min. removing dust with the tape.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dainteg:
Get the RhinoShield 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector. For me its really the perfect protector FINALLY. Just take your time with the install and watch the video.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Is there a video showing the install on the Note 9? The one I saw was for the S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dainteg:
I don't think they have a vid for the note 9. The s9 plus is so close to being the same phone just watch that one. My biggest thing was just to make sure you get the bubbles out as you go and not try to rub them out after it's on all the way. And just work slow and patiently with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Did you keep lifting the protector up like they show in the video to help release bubbles?
