This is the best rom I tried for my galaxy s9! So I kept it from April. I didn't update since that month so I checked today for updates, also because in the last two months I got some problems/bugs, heat and high CPU usage from nightwatch.txt which I don't know what is, and in the lasts weeks I got an annoying problem which after using some apps it turn night mode off, but I think all these bugs are related to Samsung updates. And you say the ROM update will be release today? How can I install the update? Better factory reset or update directly? Thanks for the great rom and I hope you will continue to release it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Hey there, few people asked for an update and i updated the S9+ version since its the most popular one, then i waited for feedback before i do the others however nobody told me anything so i didn't bother with the other builds.

If you are still on April update i would suggest doing a clean installation but also to update bootloader and modem with odin to the latest one, i could send you detailed instructions in a private message when i upload the S9 version.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pierfranc:
Ok I want the instructions. When you think you will update it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pierfranc:
Any news ? I was waiting a lot for this rom updates and steps to install it. Still nothing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ValoniMahoni:
No G960 Update ? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Yes still nothing, im on mobile data because i live in a mountain and i cannot afford to upload multiple 3gb files, all the work is done here and uploaded from a different place such as uni or my friend's vm server is used.

Just because i cannot afford to upload and update that fast does not mean i dont want to as it will get done eventually when im able to do so
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pierfranc:
Ok. When you think you can upload it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ValoniMahoni:
Thanks for the reply. Here is hoping that you will get fast internet.

When i try to flash twrp i get this error
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
This isnt a twrp thread... Your device appears to be locked, did you flash stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Devilix:
Yes, stock but with oem unlock...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] King umar:
I have just installed the rom for the s9 and it still has all the bloatware. Facebook, Microsoft office applications and google duo. Magisk was not preinstalled and there was also no preinstalled youtube vanced. It was flashed with TWRP 3.4.0.0.

Have I gone wrong somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Boot up stick and make sure everything is working correctly, your device has been locked and you have to do the following:

Turn off wifi & data

Turn automatic date and time off

Set the date 10 days later and re-flash twrp

Install using twrp 3.3.1 , also if you are doing a clean install do not connect to a network and remove your sim card or else you will have all the google applications installed by default.

Magisk and Vanced is no longer pre-install as i dont use those anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ValoniMahoni:

Good time. who flash the latest Xfire ROM V2. 5.0 (Star 2 LTE) G965.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Amelberger:
Hi

am trying to install the ROM, but i keep getting a weird error "can't detect CSC".

This is a g965f on G965FXXUCFTJ2_DevBase_v7.3

I already flashed the stock HOME_CSC several times, no change.

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ktybdtw:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Will upload the fixed version tomorrow!

Thank you all for acknowledging the issue and letting me know about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Handeman707:
Is there a "Rom control" in it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Not at this point, but it could be useful if i decide to make my kernel public.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] jpah:
Hi,

Thank you very much! That was a really quick fix, it is unbelievable how good and responsive you guys are compared to OEMs....

Question: Is there a possibility to get Wakeup blocking in the kernel?

Great Work!! :) :)

Is there a full guide on how to apply this from scratch, for noobs like me?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] gutacamionagiu:
v2.4.0 worked fine for me, yesterday i flashed stock one ui 2.5, now in 2.4.0 sim doesn't work, and in v2.6.1 i get bootloop. sm-g965f
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Kingxjullien14:
Does flashing this rom wipe all partitions... cuz like for alexanders it does.. just asking btw cuz hoping to flash this rom without the hope of losing my data as to im far from a place to safely back up my data.. judging by just what i read the rom looks pretty inviting ... owh yeah, does this rom support netflix hdr cuz alexanders doesn't and i just miss netflix hdr on my phone... thanx in advance...

Sm-g965f
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
There is no partition wiping, /data and internal storage is always untouched.

Im not sure about HDR on Netflix as i do not use netflix but if it's safetynet related most likely you will have HDR.

If you aren't confident flashing you could always keep your previous ROM and /data backup in your sd card, my recommendation would be to get a large sd card and store your important files, roms or twrp backups over there :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Kingxjullien14:
I see.. aite thanx man for ur reply... I'll see what i can do with my storage problem then I'll flash ur rom.. cuz like seriously i used to rely on magisk only for Viper but now since pewitt made Wavelet which is similar to Viper but for no root conditions.. i find it unnecessary for rooting.. an another question, do you have any plans for android 11? Just asking btw, u are not obligated to answer if u dont want...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tsury:
Tried to flash 2.6, at the end, after it says that installation completed successfully, there's an error:

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

Now it bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Kingxjullien14:
Alexander's devbase also had that issue.. its caused by the dm-verity.. i overcame that by flashing custom kernel or patched stock kernel... the stock kernel won't allow it to boot up..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tsury:
Can you recommend any specific kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Kingxjullien14:
U could try White Wolf.. im using White Wolf myself.. great performance and battery life..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryan Edwige:
Still bootlooping for me even after flash white wolf kernel g965f and please i restored my RROS rom but the ''xFire Rom'' bootlogo stayed on the first bootscreen '''Samsung xFire Rom Powered by Android'' how to restore the original one please ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
What do you mean by original? do you have the samsung software downloaded from sammobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Ryan Edwige:
By original i mean the usual stock ''Samsung Powered by Android'' on boot screen. I mean i installed xFire, it bootlooped and after that i did a restore of my previous RROS backup and after restore's complete, i boot the rom but i notice that the xFire bootscreen logo was still there on First screen and just after that come RR boot animation.

I don't have samsung software downloaded from sammobile but i did have a backup of my stock one ui rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
Just flash the latest bootloader, it will bring back the stock logo. The 'powered by android'

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] abuyamizan:
so is there a xfire rom for s9 (startlte)?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Ofcourse! i just finished uploading, check the first page.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Napoooo:
Bootlop on my s9+
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] abuyamizan:
Wow, thanks bro.

Really appriciate that:good:

One more question, can we use this rom without magisk (unrooted rom) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
New version is up... tested and there is no bootloop issue.

There is no magisk in the installation, but you can install it if you wish :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] abuyamizan:
Will try then
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] wtosta:
How to flash the stock bootloader? Is it possible only using ODIN and flash the whole stock ROM? Would you be so kind and tell me how to restore only the stock bootloader with the stock startup "powered by android" logo, which was replaced by the installation of the xFire ROM?

Best regards,

Witek
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] f1mugen:
Can this be dirty flashed over 2.3.1 version? Anything i need to update or add whilst flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nikoman1987:
Yes ,you can flash only bootloader ,it is not necessary to flash the full firmware and flash it with ODIN .Just select the bootloader file in BL option ,not necessary to out anything in CSC and etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Spacecabbie:
I like to know this as wel.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] wtosta:
Thank you very much for the answer. But if I may ask one other question. Is it important to use a specific version of ODIN program? Or is it completely indifferent? Best regards. Witek
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] nikoman1987:
I use Odin 3 v3.13.1without issues ,but you can always try with another version too.I don't think that you will have any problems
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
Hi,

first of all i want to thank you for the amazing rom, i just installed it and works great!

one thing only is really pushing me out : there is no vibration feedback when unlocking the screen with fingerprint or when the fingerprint misread the finger. In the stock rom this was 100% present. Is there any way to enable this option? i digged out the settings but did not find anytthing. Maybe it's a csc option?

I found the option to enable the fingerprint vibration, but now also the buttons on the navigation bar vibrate on touch! aniway to keep the fingerprint vibration and disable navigation bar buttons vibration?

EDIT: guys this is driving me crazy XD anyone knows a way to keep ON vibration when fingerprint misses reading, but at the same time keeping OFF the haptic feedback of the navigation bar?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] wtosta:
I flashed stock bootloader successfully. One thing to remember when flashing the bootloader itself (the only BL field checked in the ODIN program) is the Stock BL version must be the same as in the version of the build that we have already installed in the phone. Otherwise, flashing the bootloader itself will result in a RQT_CLOSE error in Odin. Of course the phone will be functional as before after restart. The installed software version is here: Settings> About phone> Software information> Build number
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] BlastorixBlade:
Also experiencing the same issue despite installing WhiteWolf Kernel. Any advice? Should I change my /data to F2FS or something? Phone's stuck on boot logo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] wtosta:
I have had the bootloop issue too. I know this is not a solution. But I changed the ROM to Alexis 2.1 and reflashed the bootloader, because the xFire ROM replaces the bootloader stock logo, which is in my opinion is ugly and it is not the wisest idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] BlastorixBlade:
Is it ROM first then flash the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] wtosta:
Yes, exactly. I've noticed that the software version is important when flashing the bootloader. The version numbers must match.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Make.Sense:
I also ended up with the bootloop on the xfire logo after updating from a previous version and getting the /odm error like some other guys on here.

I always take a system and boot backup in TWRP before flashing, so I just restored boot from the backup and that fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
This rom Just gave new life ti my s9. Many many thanks xfire!

Btw , december security patches are out, do you plan to update the rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
When my internet connection gets fixed...

I have issues with my ISP and my connection keeps dropping for a few days now, im planning to call them tomorrow because this is unacceptable!

My speeds should had been 100down 25 up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
Well thanks for the update and hope your connection it gets fixed soon. Sometimes ISP can be angels sometimes pure satan and hell :P
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] HarrisonD4Y:
Useless ROM. I had to flash a backup due to the fact this developer decided to change the boot loader splash screen, luckily I managed to recover, but after flashing this ROM every time I boot my phone is has xFire on the splash screen. Do not flash unless your prepared to reflash your bootloader with odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Thanks a whole lot for your highly subjective opinion! I must admit that a project should be considered useless just because we don't like one aspect of it.

Anyways jokes aside the logo format was taken from the S20 series and i think it looks rather fresh, its a either love or hate it kinda thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] marcinmazur50:

I am using this rom

xFire ROM v2.7.0(star2lte) G965FXXSDFTL1

It is works smoothly and stable

it's wonderful and amazing

Thank you dev, great work
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
hi and thanks for the update. unfortunately the update Is giving infinite bootloops at the xfire logo , tried both dirty flash from the previous version and clean flash, but the result was the same. Luckyly I had twrp backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] borque:
Hi I'm enjoying this ROM so far, only a few random reboots but otherwise great.

One problem I have is in battery settings, the power mode is set to "Maximum power saving" and I am unable to select any other mode like balanced.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SNOOP_69:
can someone please help me on a bootloop showing the samsung x screen on 2.7.1? i read that another boot image flash can help in such cases - where can i get a working boot image? looking forward...

update: after flashing magisk21.zip the phone booted (took about 5mins) but it seems that the xfire ROM is not installed.

what have i done wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
i have the same exact problem, but even stranger:

1 - dirty flash xfire 2.7 ROM on top of the previous version

2 - phone bootloops forever at the logo

3 - so i enter in TWRP and flash Whitewolf kernel

4- now the phone boots BUT when he asks for the 4 digit PIN and i enter it, the screen goes black and kicks me again on the lockscreen, and asks again for PIN

any hint on how to solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SNOOP_69:
thank you for the tip - but i solved the bootloop by flashing magisk directly after the rom.

the first time it didn´t seem to work as the 2.7.1 wasn´t correctly installed but the second time it worked flawlessly. first the rom via twrp and directly afterwards without reboot the current magisk. I´m now enjoying the 2.7.1 without any problems!

i haven´t set any pin before - so you might do a complete reset and wipe via twrp in first instance!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
Thanks!!! it worked

the only thing i found missing is the customization of the power button, in the Alexis rom you can select double tap to launch camera, bixby or an app that you select from the installed ones.

Anyone know if it is possible to enable this feature in xfire? it looks like a standard OneUI setting
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SNOOP_69:
I love the rom but i have two problems.

First, titanium Backup is not able to rebuild Apps and data.

Second, i cant stream any music via bluetoth.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] effry:
Regarding titanium backup, try disabling "Verify apps over USB" in the developer settings, that helped me whenever tb was stuck restoring
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] SNOOP_69:
Hi effry, that doesn't work for me - still the same errors with titanium backup
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] liwp:
Hi, I do not see v.2.7.1? only link to 2.7.0... :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Spacecabbie:
for those that asked and where developer couldn't be bothered to answer yes gear vr works but have to manually download the apps.

Constant boot loop issues though

Order to prevent it:

Flash Rom.

Flash latest magisk,

Wipe cache

reboot

This should work for upgrade/dirty and clean. @effry it's a nice ROM dude, but it would be nice to help out the beginners a bit the magisk stuff could be in the main post ? Since its been an issue since since i started using it. (from what i can tell if the devices is rooted it goes into bootloop with just the rom install you need magisk right afther.)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pierfranc:
This was one of the best ROM with Pie and I used it a lot. Now, after trying DevBase ROM which is good but I think is too slow due to bloatware and useless stuff, I want try this last one update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] deboopi2:
I tried this rom after installing Noble Rom 1.7 and it caused a bootloop.

Now I'm stuck with the xFire logo at startup, is there a way to get rid of ot?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Kennethsuazo08:
Hello, I installed the Rom recently and it is the most stable I have tried, despite being android 10 it works great. I have had a problem with the IMEI of the phone, it does not recognize the SIM card. if there is any solution, the device is galaxy s9+ exynos, 9810.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] pendor24:
reflash the stock rom you had before
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Tiago Saraiva:
Doesn´t work for me too and i have DTB5 Bootloader, install TWRP and make a format before install the rom.

Keeps rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
The file has been removed because of the following bug:

A continuous bootloop occurs after setting a pin or a password.

Version 2.0.1 hotfix changes:

- Stock kernel instead of WhiteWolf

- Magisk is pre-installed because without it the device will not boot properly (with the stock kernel)

- Removed Bixby and all its related applications/services.

- Removed Chrome, Maps, Google Text to speech, Maps, Gmail, YouTube (you can download those from the play store if you need to do so).

- Removed 'Kids home' and its related service.

If you set a pin or a password with the stock kernel you can flash WhiteWolf again for the perfomance benefits (It will also remove Magisk), hopefully this issue will be fixed soon.

I will upload the new ROM files as soon as i can!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AtomicAardvark:
Hi [MENTION=8155227]xfirefist[/MENTION]. I currently have Alexander's DevBase v7.3 installed with root and ElementalX kernel. Can I do a dirty flash with your Rom, or is some wipes needed?

Also, is it rooted with WhiteWolf kernel?

With Youtube Vance added, does this Rom have exposed?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xfirefist:
Hey there, thank you for reaching out!

Since version 2.0 the development was reset meaning all the 1.x.x notes are not relevant anymore.

Youtube Vanced or exposed aren't pre-loaded, magisk is because without it the stock kernel refuses to boot.

I would suggest against dity flashing to my rom, stay your your current setup if it works well for you atleast untill the pin/password issue is solved, i might try switching to ElementalX and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AtomicAardvark:
Thank you buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] TarekElsakka:
Thank you for this ROM. Is the latest version of ElementalX actually compatible with 2.0.1?
