Worth Rooting? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

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

Sorry if I'm rude, but I'm sick and tired of people clogging up the forums because they did something they weren't supposed to do. THERE IS NO ROOT METHOD FOR THE S6 EDGE PLUS! There is no firmware you can download to my knowledge, so you might be screwed, I'm afraid... Also, if KNOX detects that you made changes to the /system partition (most likely what happened here) it will brick your device and there's no way you can fix it. You have to pay for a full replacement ($650 I believe). Let this be your lesson. Only do something to your device if:
1. It's ment for your device
2. It's been proven to work
Once again, sorry if I'm being really rude and unhelpful right now, but, as I said above, there is no root method and I'm sick and tired of people who think they know what they're doing but really don't and then they come crying to us asking to magically fix their device.
Sincerely,
Nick

Yes you are rude and a jerk. And you should be banned from this site. I was about to ask a question, related to this post, but I quit. You did mistakes, you did something you shouldn't do and you did get help from others, I'm 100% sure. But you seems to forgot that, and you get sick of people who needs help. You should see a doctor and get better, if you are so sick. I'm leaving this site, it seems that people who made a mistakes can't fit in. THIS SITE IS POPULATED ONLY BY MASTERS. So, **** off MASTER!

I'm sorry for exercising my first amendment right. You can't ban me for that. Also, I kind of answered this person's question. Here's what I basically said without the ranty parts:
1. There's no way to root this device
2. There's no firmware (at least for the Verizon variant) for this phone.
3. KNOX may have bricked his/her device due to the modification of the /system partition.
1 is the reason, 2 is the answer, and 3 is the explanation. The 3 parts of conducting an effective answer to a question.
OP, your best bet is to try to call Samsung or Verizon and try to lie your way into getting a free replacement. I did that for when I accidentally wiped my entire internal storage on a Kindle Fire 2nd gen. All I said is it all of a sudden started doing what problem I was having, and they said they would send out a free replacement.
Best of luck,
Nick

I have to agree its all over this board that there is no root for this phone as of right now. It should be obviously clear when you go in to the development section and its blank. Just because one carrier has a phone that's rootable doesn't mean the root works on other devices carriers.

This is exactly what I was trying to say. We can all hope that there will be a root method soon, but for now, don't go doing something that you aren't supposed to do to your certain phone yet.

New Phone Recommendations?

I am currently a Verizon customer and am still using my old Galaxy SIII.
Several years back, I allowed the phone to install an update which essentially locked down the phone. Something like Knox if I recall correctly. It made it so that I was unable to install custom recovery, such as TWRP which I had used for years. As a result, I stopped paying attention to the android development forums and such... so I'm a rather out of the loop now.
Anyway, I'm looking to finally upgrade my phone and am looking for some guidance / recommendations. Are the newer Galaxy phones still locked down or are you able to install custom roms / recoveries? If so, are there brands other than Samsung that are more popular as far as being able to install custom roms / recoveries? I'm interested in the Android Pay and/or Samsung Pay features that came out a few years ago (are these features still useful?)
Additionally, I am still on the grandfathered unlimited data plan, which I would want to preserve in the process of upgrading.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Mostly I want a somewhat new-ish phone that will be customizable (ie unlocked bootloader) through Verizon here in the US.

As explained by xanthrax, there already is an established thread for phone recommendations. For reducing unnecessary clutter, I need to ask you to continue your discussion over there.

US Unlocked Phone And Root

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

How to root Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge, step-by-step guide for beginner?

I found these threads, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-twrp-3-1-0-1-samsung-galaxy-j3-t3573607, https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...uide-painless-root-samsung-j3-emerge-t3573551, and https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-twrp-magisk-boost-mobile-samsung-t3740646. I am so confused. When I jailbroke my iphone years ago it was all so simple. I am just trying to download to my phone a single root-exclusive app I desperately need.
Those posts are from a year and 2 years ago, I heard using outdated software with your device can cause it to brick so I don't know if it's safe to use these software anymore. Plus both of these threads use so many terms and acronyms that fly over my head. I also read SuperSU was so sold to a foreign company so it's not to be trusted anymore? The third link seems a bit more understandable but it mentions something about stock, which I know is an official Android release or whatever, but why is it telling me to return my phone to stock? If I was following the guide, wouldn't I already have a non-rooted phone? So why is telling me how to revert my stock phone back to stock... Unless I'm misunderstanding something which is highly likely.
Can anyone give me a clear, concise guide to how to go about this? Please help, and thank you.

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.
