US Unlocked Phone And Root - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Greeting Guys, I am really new to this Forum (first post YAY) so plz be easy on me!! ^_^"
i have Bought the galaxy s9+ from Microsoft store like week ago, after 4-3 days I saw on the internet about all the advantages of the root thing, But I also read that if I got that modle i wont be able to root anymore.
It's true? there will be root for this that will come after all the models? or there is other way to neutralize the root blocker?
Cheers and thanks in advance!!!

Hey Man welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately only S9+'s with the Exynos processors can be rooted. When I pre-ordered my S9+ from Samsung the places that had Exynos ones were very VERY expensive. Im assuming you're in the States, yes? If you are, then Im pretty much certain that you dont have an Exynos S9+
But not to worry! I was also excited about rooting, but what I did was look into de-bloating the S9+ and just enjoying the ride. From what I have learned from reading the forum, if it ever will be possible to root this phone it will be a long time from now.
Good luck

S7 EDGE, G935F. Can I root?

Good evening all,
New member, long time lurker. I'm completely new to rooting, and thought I had found an easy way to do it with the one click rooters, however I am discovering it might be a bit more awkward than that with my phone.
I have a s7 edge (32gb), Android 7.0, model number G935F, baseband XXU1DQD7. Im really lost right now, is it actually possible to root my phone? I dont mind if i void the warranty as i think its out anyway lol.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!

Is there an S9+ SM-G965U1 root tool yet?

The title says it all, really. But I'll elaborate anyway so this won't get marked as spam.
I have an S9+, model number SM-G965U1. I know it's possible to root the S9+, but I haven't found any way to root this particular model.
Does anyone know something I don't? A way to root it, a person who's working on it, anything?

It might get marked as spam because if the same question gets asked in different threads a lot. I recall at least 3 so far all asking the same exact thing. A thread asking if a root method exists was made 2 days ago. You can view the thread here
USA Snapdragon G965U (and U1) there is nothing as of yet. If there was (or any sign/hint/indication) then there would be a lot of discussion on it. I am not sure what you think you know or what your source is but there is a difference between "possible" and "a way to make it happen". Sure it is possible to root the phone, but as of yet there doesn't seem to be any indication a way to make it happen exists. I am sure people are working on it but I doubt they will be openly discussing the method or much on the matter.. No reason to tip one's hand on what they are doing (or what exploit they are gonna use) just to have Samsung end up patching it.
International G965 I am not sure if a root method exists or not.
Exynos S9+ version seems to have a root method already.. The forum here should tell you what you need to know.

i have the g695u and i was wondering the same thing. ive always wanted to root my phone because i like to play with things lol. more so because i like checking out all kinds of apps and programs and i like to make things my own so to speak. im new to this and ive been considering it for years since i had my s2 but i dont want to mess up and not be able to use my phone. ive seen a few apps that id love to check out but cant because they require root. so i guess my question is how do i do that and i how do i free my phone from being carrier locked. i have a note 8 id like to use and cant but thats a long story on its own.

To unlock your phone from being carrier locked you can either go through the carrier and request it to be unlocked. Otherwise there are 3rd party services that can do this, but they are pay for services. I myself used UnlockPolice to sim unlock my phone and that cost $180.00. Other services exist that range in price, but be aware of those cheaper services as there are some that are scams. One in particular I tried cost 13.00 and had you install an APK to enter a code... Suffice it to say 100% rip off since the phone does not use an unlock code (UICC unlock does not use an apk or code) nor does it use an APK to unlock the phone (I have a Sprint S9+ and the only ones I know that use an APK for unlocking is T-Mobile).
If the carrier can't do it for you or the pay for 3rd party services are not an option then there is nothing you can do. As of right now no method exists for us to sim unlock the phone any other way. If you have further questions I would suggest reading different threads here on the subject. You can find suggestions on 3rd party services to try as well.
For the rooting I answered that already with what information that exists. Let me rephrase it a little to include a little more info.
If you have the exynos version then there is a root method. Check this thread out to find out.
Otherwise if you have an USA snapdragon G965 (U or U1) then there is no root method as of yet. It is inevitable that one will be created and it will be made available for us, but currently no time table or other info exists that says when or where that will happen. Either way it will take time before something happens, so be patient and keep checking for any news announcements or other threads talking about a root method for US Snapdragon G965 that actually exists.
Hello everyone and one year after the last answer, someone knows something about how to root the SM-G965U1, please if anyone knows something, share, thanks

Scott literally did this in the post before yours.

Worth Rooting?

Hey guys, I was just curious if it is worth it rooting my S9+ (NEE, European Exynos) at this point, since the S10 series is out and I may go for a Galaxy Foldable when it releases anyways, so is there anything to gain from rooting (I will not use XPOSED or so since it will make apps that use the Google SafetyNet API useless).
I would like your opinion
That would be all, thanks
You asked the same question 5 months ago. Reread your thread, the same answers apply

US (Sprint) Samsung S9+ Snapdragon Root Questions

I am trying to root a US (Sprint) Samsung S9+ Snapdragon phone. Have rooted plenty of phones in the past but have not done so in the last few years. It seems Samsung has really locked down the US based phones.
I have looked all over the place and spent about 5 hours trying to figure this out just to end up at square one. Can not unlock the bootloader it seems.
My main goal is to get the phone rooted, be that on a custom rom or stock.
I hate to post here and look like I am being lazy but I am lost. Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Yep TYVM, got it up and running with root.
this is exactly why i asked the Samsung Mods to put up a sticky about the S9 and S9+ now having root. Zero offense to the OP if any offense was taken

Root s9+ (g965fxxsbetg8)
Hi. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ with latest basedband [G965FXXSBETG8] one UI Version 2.1 and wished to ROOT it for bloatware removal. There are a number of sites that offer the various methods to ROOT your phonew and I have tried in the past to ROOT an S7+ and an S8+ but spent an awful lot of time trying, following all the various guidelines but to no avail. I finally went to oneclickroot.com and for a small charge they ROOTED my S9+ perfectly. One of the reasons for going to them was that they guarantee rooting your phone or your money back and they don't take your money until ROOTING is complete and your happy with it. I've now debloated loads of "useless to me" apps etc and my phone is running beautifully smooth and fast. Of course it's up to you and I know that at XDA Developers you can find a way to do this yourself but at least you know where to go if you are in doubt doing it yourself. Regards.

Thanks for your reply i just had a look at oneclickroot.com they are charging $40 to root the phone however the reviews are not that great do you recommend any other website offering root services. I am bit worried it might stuff up the phone or if there is an malware.
Rooting S9+
Hi Kevin. As I stated in my original post at least oneclickroot.com do guarantee that you don't pay for it until it's done. Following the EXACT spec for your phone they guarantee to root it or no cost to you. They do offer support for so long after root if you change your mind too. I only got as far as oneclickroot.com before deciding to "give them a go" as I've used them before in the past without any problems or malware etc. Note: I do not work for them in case you are wondering. Regards.
