[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] klabit87:
As most of you guys know Magisk will not work for us on the international snapdragon S9, S9+, and N9

So, I have made a custom kernel that will allow us to have root on stock pie firmware..

Files needed:

N9600:

klabit kernel V6.5

FK Manager n9600 kernel download configuration link

FK Manager n9600 GSI kernel download configuration link

Copy the n9600_q_vx.zip to your external sd card.

Make sure you have TWRP installed with instructions found in this thread.

Flash the n9600_q_vx.zip

Flash Magisk (only necessary if you have not flashed Magisk previously or if coming from a clean install from stock)

Reboot to system.

If you currently do not have a working lockscreen/pin/fingerprint setup, you will need to restore your stock boot.img either via backup or extract your boot.img from the official firmware and flash the img then flash my kernel.
