Test

Im no dev, but im pretty sure i can help test... i have linux and win. Pretty good with cl on both.

If it would get this moving, I might even send you my phone to test, if youd agree to split the 230 warranty replacement if it gets bricked.

If you want to share the exploits maybe we can get you safestrap recovery as you said you got rootfs mounted as rw .

My apologies, I am one of those who check this thread regularly to see if any progress has been made and felt someone stating "it is not possible" is counterproductive & prevents people from having hope & wanting to try. I'm not saying his stance is incorrect but didn't see any hard or solid facts backing up what he stated. We need encouragement and "constructive" criticism & encouragement. His statements were counter productive and don't help the cause. I am sorry for my part but I was offended by the way he called me a "boy" when in fact in a 37 year old father of 3, I am no boy so him calling me that was again, not helpful or needed. I'm sorry yes, very, but for defending myself no not one bit. You must give respect to earn respect. Both sides were right & wrong, I just wanted to apologize and hope to keep up to date with this thread hoping for a workaround or fix that will one day make rooting possible.

It's sad that it all boiles down to money, if I could do it myself, my last thought would be to sell or make profit from it. When did everything in the whole dang world become all about $$$.

Does open source even exist any more. I thought Android was open source but even they seem to be holding back now, and they are coming up with what seems to be odd or restrictive reasons for what it implements or removes from their OS. Their playing ball with the big hitters, the money players, & in their best interest, it's not the customer comes first anymore. if Android is not open source anymore, or 100% just say so, man up!

Maybe we could start a pot, or a crowdfunding to be split equally amongst all of those who make this Note 9 Root project work. If it's just money some want ?..... they just need a Glock 17, busy bank, getaway car, and fiend for an adrenaline rush.

I doubt this tho, I'm guessing they'll continue to code hog (they don't seem to see your admirable goals) or they wish to control the entire situation and are holding & playing their cards close in order to use this as a means for themselves to get a job with sammy using every piece of data they can collect & compile and pass off as their own. There not here to help the community especially if their asking you to hush up. Isn't Life Great, lower end phones easily rooted, high end phones are controlled by Google, Samsung Facebook, exif photo data, gps, barometer, and now the police & hackers have already proven they can listen to you through the mic on your phone, know your correct location & intercept your calls by becoming a man in the middle.

if I remember correctly, google play store says report any apps that update themselves outside of the play store too, so how & why does Facebook/messenger do this, but does not nor has not been removed or punished for breaking play store rules? $$$$

correct. my gpa passed Thursday morning. I did manage to find a good amount of time to play though but no cigar still..

i got the root script down working great and have been trying to install various su binaries..

i saw an exploit guide from topjonwu where he gives ideas on how to get root using his magisk without patching boot.img..

I set up all the commands in the root script and everything seems to b where it needs to be. the issue i have tho is when i go to install the magisk tool it says theres no daemon running.. then try to start daemon manually and itsays same thing.. not sure what im missing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Looks like we are very very close. With the help of [MENTION=4770483]afaneh92[/MENTION] hopefully you guys get us root. I'm fixin to jump back to oreo preeeetty soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
To give an update:

I might release what I have very soon. Today I managed to get a Magisk root shell. This isn't root as we want and love and will be more of a root for developers/testers to take it from here.. The reason I say this is because of the following:

- Older combo firmwares are needed. I use 1ARG4 and I think I have used 1ARH1 combos. Newer combos most likely do not have the "system" script needed initially to get things going.

- Magisk is running in Daemon mode. This means no modules (from what I can see). When installed you need to open an adb shell or terminal shell and type "magisk su 0" and accept the root prompt on the device when the magisk apk pops up to allow root access.

- With root shell, you can mount system, vendor and odm partitions. There is still a problem however. The security is real lol, any attempt to write once you mount them as rw will cause device to freeze instantly and kernel panic.

- At this time, this is not at all possible on stock firmwares and we are currently still unable to write any new systems.

This should open it up for devs. I was messing with installing supersu in daemon mode but gave up. Should be easy to do though if you know how.. this would allow root apps to function that call to su instead of "magisk su". Yes, with magisk su standard apps do not see root because they look for "su". Someone smarter than me might be able to create a wrapper or something so that when su is called it uses magisk su so other apps will detect it or someone will post scripts to run standard su in daemon mode.

Once the script is installed, it executes on every boot so you don't have to keep pushing files or anything.. you will have to push the allow button each time you type magisk su in your shell.

Maybe someone can get modules working or figure out a way to install it better than me.. currently the files get pushed to data/local/tmp and magisk daemon mode is installed to /sbin on each boot

I made a simple 1 click.. you will need to install a compatible combo firmware yourself though (I uploaded the one I use and will post link when i decide to create a dev thread), you will also need to have adb set in path as i am not including adb binaries...

once your on the right firmware and i post my zip you will simply need to extract it and double click the .bat file and that is it.. then of course "magisk su" in shell to get root shell

I will most likely post here in a while for any devs or bored ppl want to mess with it..

Sammy really stepped their security up this go round.. hopefully some genius can figure out how to write a modified system or a GSI or something :)

It only took me a few months and 2 devices to finally get a root shell lmao, I am getting burnt out with this device but am stuck with it so i will mess with it some more lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Thank you so much for your efforts in trying to bring root to us. Question: Do you think this method could eventually be adapted to bring root to the Note 8 on Bootloader 5 as well? Or is this something only for Note 9? Your thoughts are appreciated.

cant you just symlink the su command to magisk? I think that's how magisk usually works when installing normally
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lincolnsxda:
If the system is unstable and SU is not embedded already I don't suppose it will be possible 2 simlink anyting that is if you're trying to change the system

Please know I don't mean to be offensive. I just wish people would spend more time thanking him than asking more of him or criticizing what he is doing. If you follow this thread closely, you know he has had a tough year and he's still working on this for the community. That speaks volumes about his strength and character. Sorry if I came off snippy.

if anyone is feelin generous and wants to buy me some beer then use my paypal, it should b listed in my profile, next to my name when I post and I think in OP.. if u still cant find it pm me.. of course nothing is expected, its ok lol, most of us are poor so i understand lol!

got abit further today but still didnt accomplish what I want yet... essentially mostly full su on combo now.. can mount system, vendor n odm as rw but still crasheswhen i try to actually write to em..

the root i switched to supersu 2.82 and is basically a form of systemless root as we cant touch write protected partitions yet..

so adb shell, and android apps that call su are working so long as it doesnt write to system odm or vendor which it will try (since we are root user) but crashes n reboots, damn write protect is a pita

i installed flashfire which loads n everything just fine but so far when i go to flash something it starts like normal then goes to black screen for a while until it reboots never actually flashing anything lol

I also messed with ss a bit but taking a break.. it nvr wants to load.. changing perms, deleting stuff, moving stuff etc etc it will randomly display the ss splash.. like once every 30 tries or somethin.. i cant figure out what its deal is yet.. either way, when thishappens n i press recovery itdoesnt crash but screen goes black lol

I also been messin with FiSH for TWRP which seems more stable but so far no luck either.. it def tries to load my ramdisk but similar to ss, it loads black screen until eventually it panics, i might still have some code to edit here as i think itsstill touching system..
