So far, I've only used system restore and not system image. Except for the problem previously exposed, I didn't face issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Thanks. I encountered problem in nandroid restore using system only in other 10 roms, not this rom. Upon reboot of device, I encountered boot loop in Samsung logo. It happened twice, since then I am not doing nandroid restore. I don't want to try unless necessary.

After restoring a backup, I am stuck in the Samsung logo. I always have to flash the last Rom again to get into the OS. What am I doing wrong with the backup? Do I have to choose more files?

(sorry for engl ... I use translators)

Device: G960F (starlte)

TWRP: 3.3.1.1

Baseband G960FXXS9DTD7

Kernel: 4.9.218
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] xmanz:
Dont use system. Use sys image
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] testerS4:
Thanks for the hint. That is the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Guys, point valid next time i need to restore I will use system image. Either than system image, what else should I restore?

This is what I usually backup:

- EFS

- Boot

- Carrier Configs

- System

- System Image

- Baseband

- Data (excl. storage)

- Vendor Image
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Handeman707:
Nothing....
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
So, when doing backup, I will only select system image to make the backup size smaller since it is only what I need to restore?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
In Phone settings, the Notify during call always stays ON after phone re-start. I need to solve this. I hate it when I am talking to somebody and the phone keeps on vibrating in my ear, I turn it OFF in phone settings however when I re-start the phone, it will back to ON again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] testerS4:
I choose for backup:

boat

Data

System image

When restoring, the phone boots properly into the OS without a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
@testerS4, Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.

The restore of Boot/ Data /System Image will work on both scenarios below, please confirm.

Scenarios:

(1) In Alexis ROM 2.2 did some experimentation in audio mods then decided to revert back after encountering a problem

(2) Experimented on another Android 10 ROM and then I didn't like it, decided to go back to Alexis ROM 2.2
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
@Handeman707

testerS4 mentioned that either than /system image, I must include /boot and /data when taking backup, and restore all 3 when I need to go back. Can you please comment on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] testerS4:
Yes, leave everything as the TWRP dictates to restore. Then everything works fine.

At least that's my experience.

have changed to this rom on S9, runs very well but noticed some little problems,

Netflix not avaible for my Device on Playstore, as i remember from my old S8 some Rom Developer have some fix to hide OEM Unlocked Devices.

So its possible then to download the Netfilx app via Playstore.

Also on *#1234# get invalid MMI-Code
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Netflix is working on my device. I tag Netflix in magisk hide. I included playstore in the magisk hide as well and I was able to download Netflix.

Hi. Does this ROM support signature spoofing? Is it possible to install microG?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aaronanyaralu:
You really should backup efs as well.

I almost lost complete control of mobile network because my sim could not associat a network even it showed full signal and registered properly but wouldn't refer to IMEI.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] testerS4:
Mh ... I've never included that in the backup. I always switch back and forth between Lineage Rom and AlexisRom. Both Rome have advantages and disadvantages in their use. Except for the three files mentioned, I never needed anything else to restore the respective Rom.

But ok ... it's your experience.

Device: G960F (starlte)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Hi, good suggestion I will include EFS. If I restore, I can omit EFS right or I just follow what twrp dictates?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
Nope, it doesn't. U need to use smali patcher to change your framework in order to enable it.

And yes, it's possible to install microG.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aaronanyaralu:
Me neither until 3weeks ago! but eventually you will face the same problem sometime or maybe not, haha. But for that incident you will be happy to have efs backuped. Just wanted to help
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] aaronanyaralu:
You can omit it, yes, but in case something troubles up, you have one in your phone and then just flash it. I used an old efs backup and just flashed over this rom but then I could instantly make calls and my wifi would work again.

!!This don't happen to everybody!! But I can happen. So in case you don't want your phone to be useless in that one case just back it up

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] moocou:
I haven't updated this rom to the latest version yet but on the previous one, my settings to show battery percent - and a couple of other things I've forgotten - revert back to defaults when I restart.

It was mildly annoying but my solution was just to not turn my phone off.

I get about 8 and half hours screen on time, I think, so I find it easy to keep the phone from ever running out of battery.

I suspect these settings reverting to default is just something we have to live with in Alexis rom and to me it's a small price to pay.

I'd love it to be fixed though. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
I understand. I hope our problems of reverting back the phone to default settings is resolve.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] heintosz:
Thanks for the help. I installed SmaliPatcher and MicroG. Right now everything works pefect (except the stuff that is not supposed to work in MicroG of course)

Can I ask how to deal with youtube vanced? I installed throu vanced manager the last version already 2 times, but after some days it was automatically uninstalled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] babyboy3265:
It got uninstalled because you allowed it to get updated from the play store.

You have to TURN OFF automatic updates in the play store and when you allow the apps to update, cancel youtube and don't let it update.

To restore Youtube functionality, find the Vanced manager app, open it and press REINSTALL for YT.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:
Use the non-root method on vanced manager. Install the vanced microg + YouTube Vanced.

I don't think that's the case now. Vanced is having some problems, after reboot the app vanishes, etc etc. Root version problems. But who knows, might be that, or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] ClaireCameron:
Thanks for the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Dirty flash this rom without vanced manager. Download the vanced manager apk (search it in Google) and install YouTube and optionally yt music.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] damjang:
I try again and install from vanced manager. After some time rebooted the phone and vanced remain installed. Let we see how much time will be there...

@alexis

I am following up on my request for support and reply.

If I still don't get a reply within the day, I will be moving to another ROM ex Alexander ROM. I would rather go to a more stable ROM than experience advance features coming from S10, S20 & Note20. TBH, this ROM is the best I've tried. I've been with this ROM earlier than v1.7, it's just my issue below which I don't like. If this will be fixed in a future release then I will go back to this ROM.

Hello together. Yesterday I installed this custom ROM (clean install) on my Galaxy S9. After installation I found out, that some strange looking, unknown apps were installed. "MySingtel", "Singtel Apps", "UBANK" and "Yandex". I was not able to uninstall them throught Android but with the help of the german app "System App Entferner" from "Jumobile" it was possible to uninstall them. After a restart my phone got stuck at the very first Samsung logo. To get my phone booting again I had to dirty-install this ROM again.

Any idea why this apps were installed by default and why removing it in a boot loop?

I may be wrong, but since I removed these apps, the phone sometimes crashes unexpectedly during normal use and restarts without asking for SIM PIN. I'm not sure if this crashes would happen otherwise. Can I leave my system as it is or should I start from scratch? Thanks for any help.

Hi X5G,

after my other posted issue regarding the strange looking (maybe bloatware apps) I'm facing the same issue as you. In my case applied custom symbols, volume settings and percentage from batery in % will revert back after rebooting phone. I already used Alexis Rom on my Galaxy S8 and there was never problems like that. I hope that someone will find a proper solution/fix.

Greetings.

Hy Guys and Happy Christmas to all

It's been a long time since I rooted my S9 +.

Now I want to root the S9 from my wife but cannot flash TWRP via ODIN.

Always the error message:

only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery) twrp

Anyone Help?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Starbase 12:
Hi. I don't know this error message but I found something on google. Maybe that will help if no other thing will help: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-fix-...owed-to-be-flashed-after-reboot-error-1094725

I flashed TWRP yesterday with ODIN on my S9 without any problems. I uploaded the files I used for you: https://cloud.cclemens.de/index.php/s/ynMf8iRgyjXTqDX

Thanks Alexis for your work. I'm trying to install the zip but I get a TWRP UI freeze.

Here are the steps:

Out-of-the-box G9650 (Snapdragon) with latest factory OS, namely G9650ZHS7ETK1 (CSC:EON)

Initial setup, skipping every optional step

OEM unlock; reboot into download mode

heimdall flash twrp 3.3.1.1

Reboot into TWRP right away

data partition can't be read, I guess it's because of encryption

adb push ALEXIS 2.2 zip

Install > swipe to start

Install starts then the whole TWRP UI freezes completely after 1 second or a bit less, including the clock (see photo: the progress bar actually stays like that). However the phone itself is OK and I can do things like adb shell without problems (which allowed me to get recovery log) while it's in that state.

I apologize if there are many things I'm not getting right. This is my first time installing a custom ROM on a Samsung since S3. I've been a OnePlus user so far but they're losing their charm plus I got this S9+ from a relative, so I'd like to give Samsung another chance.

I know nothing about all that, but maybe it's a dm-verity thing (still trying to understand that part) or something related to /data encryption?

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Starbase 12:
After wiping each and everything through TWRP and starting from scratch the ROM is working perfectly. I was wondering why that bloatware seems to be still removed. So I think that it will get installed from installing MODEM and BOOTLOADER and not from Alexis ROM. Now every setting will saved properly, no unwanted bloatware anymore and my phone doesn't restart unexpectedly.

Uninstall the hidden magisk. If filename is manager, Uninstall it. Then restart, configure magisk installed by dirty flash all over again, like magisk hide, rename, declare apps to hide magisk from.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] elirada:
Dude, thanks so much for telling me. So many hours spent on the issue and I never realised that could be the reason.

Maybe it would be a good idea to make it clear in the thread name and/or in the instructions that Alexis ROM is Exynos only. Just a suggestion of course!

Back to square 1 then. If anyone has a good suggestion for a Google-less ROM for G9650, I'm all ears!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe1771:

Can I just flash 2.2 FTK2 or I need to update bootloader and modem via odin?

If answer is yes then:

Flash bootloader and modem -> phone reset -> boot in to system and restart in to TWRP -> flash rom

Is that correct procedure?

I ask as year ago I have done something similar and it took me 2 days to un-brick device (I have lost signal, and had to find factory software and what not so would like to avoid that)

Had the same problem. Your efs partition may be corrupted.

If you have a backup and especially and efs backup you can just flash it over the rom.

Otherwise flash the whole backup - then reboot system - go to recovery again and backup efs partition and flash whole alexis rom again. If you again don't have signal just flash efs partition and reboot .
