I followed this guide step by step. Then after few days I got "This phone has been flashed with unauthorised software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support". Could not do anything.

Had to reflash with stock firmware for the tablet to start working again. And now, my OEM option in dev options has disappeared but my bootloader is unlocked still as I get a warning everytime I turn on tablet/restart it.

Anyone had this?

More info: it is S9, WiFi Only Mode, UK model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
Woa, that is worrisome! 😞

Did this message show up upon a reboot of the tablet or on the desktop/during normal operation? How many days after root did this happen?

Have you tried reflashing with magisk root firmware after the reflash to stock?

I can't believe they would do that, your data loss out of the blue, etc... This is super worrisome, has anyone else encountered this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AlfredoJesus:
Yep it is.

I believe tablet ran out of battery so when I recharged and turned on that screen came on.

I got that screen 2-3 days within rooting.

I have not tried reflashing with magisk root firmware becuasue I do not have the OEM option in dev options anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
I wonder if the forced shutdown caused by running out of battery corrupted something and is partially responsible for the next reboot giving you that message.

Didn't you say that your bootloader was still unlocked because of the warning at bootup? If so, you don't need the OEM unlock toggle in dev options anymore, and it should accept a magisk firmware reflash.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AlfredoJesus:
Well, now doing it again always gets a FAIL message on Odin. Not sure if i ****ed up something or what.

But works normal with stock firmware so
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
I'm not sure how to double check that your bootloader is indeed still unlocked, but if it is and odin flash fails, I wonder if it's some wacky security measure that blocks you...

I'm super interested to hear from other users in this thread who have had theirs rooted for several days, to see if theirs are still ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] latech4832:
mmm Are you sure that you used the correct Firmware for your Tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] latech4832:
I'm still OK after 4 days of Root in Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Wi-Fi Version USA , Used XAR version of the firmware and used Magisk 26.1 to patch the AP file.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AlfredoJesus:
Ah nice!

I got the EUX version of the firmware and used magisk 26.1 too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
Ok, thanks, that's good to hear.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] shaftenberg:
Just for your interest: I have S9 5G and OEM unlock is available in dev options.

Software OXM EUX

I plan to root but will wait some time until I'm sure that I don't need any warranty :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] latech4832:
Hello, did you find the topic about the Blue Screen, look like that is a happen to a user after the Root (3 days later)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] exocetdj:
thats mental lol - ill keep an eye on mine but rooted it on day one - 12 August when delivered (before i fully set it up) no issues so far)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] arlequin2k3:
Hello ,

I just bought the tab s9 Ultra . Great but ......

I don't feel like rooting it yet, I'll wait a few more weeks. I'd like to know how to install software like MX Player or CCleaner. It's impossible for me to install them with the security features installed by Samsung. Is there a way to bypass them without rooting the tablet? Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] rizkog:
So Anyone have a problem with the OEM unlock disappearing on the s9 Ultra Wifi? tried the time/date thing but it's not coming back.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
Nope 💀
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Village_Idiot:
Why do you need to root to install CCleaner or MX Player? Both can be installed from the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] abu_khaled:
Hi, anyone who rooted are you able to gain access to data\obb folders?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
Yep

But you need to access it using root explorer like FX file explorer, and enter it in the tab "system (ROOT)" , enter this tab, then click on "storage" > emulated > 0 > android > obb/data and you can access them normally
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Chaser42:
Got my Tab S9 (sm-x710) today. Tooted, rooted, and booted using the same process as the S8. Everything looks good. I will update if I have any problems.

I have a SM-X910 Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. It has the OEM Unlocking option in developer options. It is not grayed out. I am able to toggle OEM Unlocking on and off
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
Do you guys all pass both tests of the safetynet after rooting your S9?

I rooted my S9, installed magisk system less hosts and universal safety net 2.4.0 mod 2, I have widevine lv1, I pass safetynet basic integrity test, but I fail at CTS profile match...

Does anyone here pass the test for CTS profile match after rooting? If so, do you have the August 12 firmware and what step did you take?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] azDARKNESSfallz:
Can you please share the method you used? (also, im guessing it should be the same for the 9+ model?)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Nekobai:
I'm assuming they mean this one, although I gave it a go (I have the Tab S9+ 5G) and it didn't work for me (I always get the "blocked due to remaining installment balance" error message, even if the tablet hasn't been financed):

It works magically. Thanks for shedding light on it. Now I found "OEM unlocking" option on my S9 ultra 5G, Vietnam version.

Hello Dear forum members, a Russian dude writes to you, the owner of the Galaxy tab S9 ultra SM-X916BZEICAU tablet. Previously, I had a galaxy S8 ultra and I got root access on it. Please tell me if the instruction from the S8 ultra is suitable for obtaining root access to the S9 Ultra???.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] funkymanu:
I’ve just purchased Tab S9 256GB WiFi SM-X710 UK version(from Samsung UK), and OEM unlock is not available. I’ve tried the Date and time method for the past 2 days, nothing is working. OEM Unlock is not available in Dev options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] funkymanu:
Any way I could get OEM Unlock to show up in Dev options? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Village_Idiot:
It should be about six down from the top in Developer options. At least it is on the US Tab S9 256GB WiFi, SM-X710.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] funkymanu:
Thanks for your reply. The problem is that OEM unlock toggle is missing from Dev options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Village_Idiot:
That's odd. Not sure why it's missing. Try searching for it in settings. Settings - > tap the magnifying glass - > search for "OEM Unlock."
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] funkymanu:
Did that. I’ve also tried the “Date and time” method to get OEM unlock to show up in Dev options, nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Nekobai:
Unfortunately it's a well-known issue with devices bought from Samsung UK:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Village_Idiot:
I can kinda understand a phone since some carriers don't like rooted devices on their networks. But not allowing WiFi only devices to be OEM unlocked is weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] funkymanu:
I was finally able to OEM unlock/unlock bootloader. Rooted using the exact same process for Tab S8, using Magisk and Odin, no issues at all. Netflix was working. My tablet is SM-X710 EUX.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] lcsboy:
Thanks for your guide, and this is my first Samsung product.

(Tab S9+ 12GB/256GB Wifi version)

My Magisk works fine.

(I encountered boot loop and always went into recovery, but after I reseted data to factory. Everything is so far so good)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] rosrog:
Rooting, very simple as previously in s8+. Patch the AP file in magisk and flash with the BL, CSC in odin. I just rooted accordingly without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Planet Indigo:
Yeah, thanks, I have since bought and rooted mine as well. Question: after rooting, are you passing cts profile match? If so, which safetynet fix are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
Yep this is the correct method to root a samsung device:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Dragon Kumera:
question. Just bought samsung galaxy tab s9 ultra (received today), (trading in my tab s7+). Can we unlock the bootloader and still trade it in no issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Dragon Kumera:
Can you explain? Is data wipe needed?

edit. Found the link and post. Hmmm idk. I just need confirmation Samsung will accept trade in before I do it.

Might just do it cause why not. I should be able to root my own device. Hopefully we can relock the bootloader on stock firmware if needed.

What is the exact list of apps or features that no longer work? Will smart things and dex work?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] lloydsw:
I flashed the stock firmware & relocked the bootloader on my S8 before trading it in. Didn't have any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Dragon Kumera:
So would that be the same process? What knox apps or features will i loose? (Examples like will i loose smart things or dex). Will samsung transfer feature work?

I rooted my pixel 6 pro but thats not a samsung device. Last samsung device i rooted was sm t800 tablet that now has lineage os 20.

Also my tab s9 ultra came with july security patch. Should i uodate first or?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] benchic:
Getting an error "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt" and I get a try again or factory data reset option which works when I click it however Magisk is not installed when I do that.

Followed the instructions exactly the way they are step by step. Anyone knows how to solve this?

Can I just install Magisk again and be done with it? I did and a root checker app said it's rooted. Why did I have to flash the patched TAR file with ODIN to begin with if I could have just installed Magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
Patching AP file, disabling auto reboot option in odin, flashing patched AP file with other rom files then booting into recovery and wiping data will fix everything:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] benchic:
Thanks! What do you mean by other rom files?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
BL, CSC, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] benchic:
Thanks again. So my device is not rooted at the moment even though the root checker app says it is? I clicked factory reset after that error and my OS booted fine and after installing Magisk again it says rooted. Do you think I need to re-flash everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] ZG_DEV:
As it works fine with root access so nothing to do after it :) you have root access now, the method i said for rooting a samsung device is recommended, in your state, only wiping data after flashing patched file throguh odin does the trick ;)

Congrats ❤

Sorry, I'm a beginner. I need to root my SM-X916B with the final goal to enable KVM support in the Android kernel so that I can use qemu with KVM support in Termux. What are the recommended instructions to follow for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
Anyone knows if the method described here works for Tab S9 Ultra (SM-X916B)?

I don't have access to a Windows PC, only a Mac and Odin is not available.

Also this method seems to be simpler, patch just boot.img and it involves only and and fastboot commands

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hasenbein1966:
Managed to get root on my Tab S9 Wifi with firmware Android 13 X710XXU1AWHA (EUX).

Had "Auto Reboot" turned off in Odin like someone here suggested (don't know whether it's really necessary).

Then rebooted manually. It looped a bit, then said that it couldn't boot into an Android system and offered to do a Factory Reset.

I chose the Factory Reset option, and voila, it booted normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] flanter21:
@Nekobai @funkymanu How did you both fix the issue with OEM unlocking not being visible?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Nekobai:
The tl;dr is that I've never been able to fix this.

The long story is that I contacted Samsung UK in order to request KnoxGuard to be disabled, which they did. This caused the "OEM unlocking" option to appear, and allowed me to unlock the bootloader.

Unfortunately, a few days later KnoxGuard re-enabled itself, which means that I now have an unrooted device, with an unlocked bootloader, but with any kind of flashing being prevented by KnoxGuard. 🤷

I hope that you have better luck than I did!

Does Anyone now how to get the Custom Ringtones and Notification Sounds from My Samsung Note 20 Ultra to the Watch 6 Classic even if there is a diffeent App to do it that is simppe and straight forward without having to do any Debugging?

If so, can You show it in Detail with Screenshots and also show the setings to get it to work.

I have the Bluetooth Watch and Not the LTE Model.

Thank You in advance for Nay and All Help with this Issue
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Metups:
Also interested in a solution. It makes no sense that it is so difficult to do what should be a pretty basic function.

Edit: OK, I used adb and then WearOS Tools and that worked great, if a bit slow. Unless there is some shortcut I missed, I added a list of my favorite ringtones and notification sounds to the watch one at a time. Actually, after I did it a couple of times, my muscle memory just entered the number for the ringtone and notification and it ended up going relatively smoothly. Thank you to the developer of the WearOS Tools V10 - that is a fantastic tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] gd761:
This is WAY WAY More complicated than what I had to do with My Watch 4 and 5 which was done with myWear File Explorer previously. Does Anyone know HOW to get it to work with myWear File Explorer on the Watch 6? If so, then Please show both Detailed Information and Screenshots of every step.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] KineSight:
Sup man, was looking to set custom tones for my GW5 (OneUI 3.5) today and this is how I manged to set it but it doesn't survive after a reboot.

Install apps:

Wear Installer 2 - Apps on Google Play

A general purpose app installer for WearOS devices

play.google.com

Tone Selector (Ringtone/Alarm) - Apps on Google Play

Set your loved music as your Ringtone and Notification for apps like WhatsApp.

play.google.com

- First copy your Ringtones/Notification tones to the Watch

- Then use Wear Installer 2 (On your phone) to install Tone Selector via ADB on Watch

- Open Tone Selector (On the Watch) to choose your custom tones that you added to the Watch's storage

It would be appreciated if anyone has a permanent fix for this . . .
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] eVoHicks:
So I found a YouTube video on how to do this and it works just fine, the only thing I had to change was the part where he downloaded the app needed on his watch, it didn't show when I did a search for it on my watch so I downloaded it on my laptop to my google play account then chose which device to download it to but other than that it works just as he says in the video......

Also I checked if it worked after a reboot and it does.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] captainredbeard539:
You can try these steps:

- Open the Galaxy Wearable app, select "My Watch," then adjust the sounds under "Sounds and haptics."

- Check the related app's access permissions in "Manage watch apps" in Galaxy Wearable.

- Use the My Files app to share audio files directly with the watch.

- If the problem persists, check for software updates for the watch and app. If unsuccessful, it may be necessary to wait for an update or use alternative applications.
