O.k my wife got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 when they first came out I bought it for her and it has this rom build on it l747UCALG1 and mine which I just bought about three days ago have this build on it l747UCALH9. Her build I was able to root if need be but my phone I can't and I am already on 2 count of the custom binary and I can't reset it since some how I can't root the phone the developers are seeing all of this stuff that we are doing to the phones and I believe they are trying to stop us. But anyway can some one tell me since I have a copy of her stock Firmware how can I just flash my phone or what have you with her stock firmware which is l747UCALG1 so I can root my phone. Also if you don't mind please leave me a clear step-by-step way to do it and if it works without doing any damage at all to my phone, and if I want to later go back to the stock that is on my phone now I can but I don't think I will unless I have to send or take it in ever for warranty repair or just sale it. If this works right leave me your e-mail or if you have a paypal account give me that address or what have you and I will send you a donation.. (Thanks)

How to Revert to Old Firmware & Root Newest Release -
Hello and welcome to XDA.
I understand your concern to root your device especially with it being on the latest firmware, but I will do my best in order to explain every step to you in the utmost detail. I am currently on I747UCLH9 with a Custom ROM. Meaning I kept the Modem & Bootloader and kicked the Kernel and Firmware. Before I begin, I would like to ask you to thank to all the Developers / Posters who made & put this content together as this would not be possible without them. I will link all of their original posts at the end of this. Be sure to give credit to every one of them and please make sure to give thanks to them. I take absolutely NO CREDIT for any of these links/steps whatsoever. I simply researched and compiled them in order to help you. With that being said, let us begin.
Before anything you must remember this. After you are finished downloading whatever items you need, you MUST (and I cannot stress this enough) FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE. Reason being is because a lot of other people have tried this same process of downgrading without wiping and ended up getting startup boot errors. Be sure to NOT sign into your Google account. This is just a warning, follow the steps below to know when you should begin this process.
All files you download should be saved on your desktop. Personally I prefer to make a separate folder for these kind of delicate things. Keeps it organized so you don't forget where you are.
Make sure your phone IS NOT plugged in to your computer as of right now & you have NO external SD card.
Now;
Let's begin.
Before you start be sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Which you can get from Samsung's website or here.
Samsung USB Drivers
Also be sure that you have WinRAR installed as well which you can get right here.
WinRAR
To be on the VERY SAFE side you must download ADB (Android SDK). What you must do is when it asks you for where you would like to install it, you MUST ONLY CLICK "Local Disk C:" . AND THATS IT. The best thing is to keep it here so when you have to execute a command line, it will be very simple. You will have a folder called "android" here. THAT IS YOUR ADB FOLDER. You will understand what I mean shortly. *Note* this is for CWM-T (ClockworkMod Touch).
Android SDK
1. Download the stock rooted LG1 Firmware. I747UCLG1 Stock + Root Only.
2. Right-Click the LG1 Firmware you just downloaded and extract it. It is currently root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z ; the extraction process will turn it into the correct .tar file (Flashable file type with Odin)
3. Now that you have the Stock ROM, you need..well ODIN! Here's the link. Odin 3.07.
4. Since it is in .zip format you need to extract this as well. You will end up with 4 files. Right-Click on the Odin3 v3.07.exe and run it as administrator. Now you are at the Odin screen with nothing there -_-".
5. Factory reset your phone. Just let it boot up but DO NOT sign into your Google account, just click through skip everything head straight to your Settings, then Developer Options & make sure USB Debugging is enabled/checked. Back out of your settings completely and you are at the home screen.
6. Now, just hit the power button and turn your device off. After it is completely turned off hold the Volume Down + Home button. While holding these 2. Press and hold the Power button. You should now be holding all three buttons at the same time waiting for a green lettered screen to come on (Download Mode). Use the phone keys to select the option to continue. Your phone will now say Downloading, do not turn off device. (Or along those lines).
7. After selecting the option that sends your phone to the screen with the text "Downloading, Do not turn off device." You should be holding your phone in hand with USB plugged into your computer but your device is not connected. Odin is open on your computer screen with nothing still. From here just plug your phone in and you will see a pop-up in the first box of many under the Odin logo which says "COM: #".(#: Being a select number of your device. This is of no importance, as long as you see this pop up.) Once you see this your phone will be ready to be flashed back. Just click the PDA button and browse to the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar file. (Be sure you click the .tar and not the .zip.)
8. Check to make sure no other boxes should be checked except for Auto-Reboot.
9. Press Start and wait for the process to finish.
10. Everything should go through fine and your phone will start back up and you will be on LG1. You are now on stock firmware BUT rooted. Unplug your phone, Skip past everything once again and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Keep your phone unplugged & don't forget to close ODIN.
Now before you do anything. You need a Custom Recovery AKA CWM. Well in this case we will be installing the latest touch version.
11. Download the latest ClockworkMod Touch from here. This link is saved in a way specifically from their website. You can either go to www.clockworkmod.com and browse the ROM Manager tab for the 6.0.1.4 Recovery. OR you can just right click the link provided right here and press "Save As..." this file will come up and asked to be saved as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-d2att.img. RENAME IT AS "recovery.img" without the quotes & save it.
ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.1.4
12. Now that you have this file. Plug in your phone to your computer and in the root folder of your phone storage and copy the recovery.img file to it; which is the first folder that pops up when you press open when you plug your phone in. (Remember no SD CARDS!)
13. Now, click the Start button on your taskbar and in the search bar type cmd. Now you will see cmd.exe; press enter and you will see the Command Prompt open. If you saved the Android SDK the way I told you to, you can copy and paste the line below. If you saved it somewhere else you can change the folder simply by browsing to the android folder. Make sure you click on the "platform-tools" folder. NOT the "platform" folder. Also whichever directory it is you must add a "\" at the end so it will find the location correctly.
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
14. Now you are in the directory time to run ADB Shell and flash that recovery! Copy and paste or type the following; I recommend you copy and paste the last line as it gets tricky. After the SU command your phone will be detected.
First you type adb shell
following that su
and finally dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
As you can see in the last command it is named recovery.img there are no special characters or numbers or symbols to mess with the flashing. After you run this command you will an output similar to the following.
14004+0 records in
14004+0 records out
7170048 bytes transferred in 1.430 secs (5014019 bytes/sec)
Finish up this step with the following command
reboot recovery
15. Your device will now restart and head straight into recovery. Congrats you now have LG1 Stock + Root with CWM-T. Unplug the USB and press "Reboot System".
TO UPGRADE BACK TO LH9 WITH ROOT AND CWM-T
Before I begin.
You must remember that this step REQUIRES you download 4 files to go on the root of your phone memory. Your phone should now be on the home screen. Plug it in and open your phone memory. With that being said you need the following files. The Rom, Modem, Bootloader, and Kernel. You will be flashing them in this following order as well.
16. Download the following pieces and save them to the root of your phone's memory. Be sure to remember which file has what name so when you enter the recovery you aren't lost as to which to flash first.
I747UCLH9 ROM Download
I747UCLH9 Modem Download
I747UCLH9 Bootloader Download
I747UCLH9 Kernel Download
17. After everything has finished transferring, remove the phone from the computer and turn your phone. Remember how you got into download mode? Well instead of holding Volume Down + Home, you hold Volume Up + Home. While holding these two press and hold your power button until you see it says Samsung Galaxy S III. If you look at the top left hand of the screen while it's JUST turning on. You will see some blue text flash. When you see that you know your entering the recovery and can release the buttons.
18. You are back at the recovery. You must now do the following. Touch the options as I list them. Follow these steps precisely.
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Yes -- Delete all user data
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
+++++Go Back+++++
- Install Zip from SD Card
- Choose zip from SD Card
Now choose them in the following order, ROM, Modem, Bootloader, and finally Kernel.
WAIIIITTTTTTTT! After you are finished flashing the Kernel you MUST do the following. Click options as I state them.
- Wipe Cache
- Yes - Wipe Cache
- Advanced
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Advanced
- Fix Permissions
+++++Go Back+++++
Reboot System
19. Wait for your phone to reboot and NOW you can sign into your Google account. Go past everything go into your App drawer first and check for Superuser/SuperSU once you see that, go into your settings and check your ROM, Modem, Bootloader, Kernel. Yes. They are bone stock with root. Congrats you achieved maximum upgrade with root.
Now I would like to give my shout-outs; Thanks; and share the following posts that helped me compile this. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

I do not see the 4 download links for the ROM, Modem, Bootloader and Kernel. Can you post them.
I will fix the links but if you simply look at the people / threads I have given credit to at the bottom of my guide you will see drothenberger's thread. He has the original links there. Mind you, you MUST scroll down to the part where it says "PIECES:" and download following his links. Don't worry I will re-post them accordingly.

Common question about reseting counter
I have reset counter but system status still 'custom'
You should have stock recovery (Opton 2)
If you already have stock recovery(CF Auto root) then reset counter first
then wipe cache + wipe data(factory reset) + re wipe cache
You should now have system status 'official'
I have rest counter but after reboot again it goes to 1
This happen if you have rooted with CUSTOM RECOVERY(Opton 1)
This is neither error of recovery nor triangle away. This happens due to new bootloader which have auto checksum for recovery, when you reboot to custom recovery count will raise.
To prevent this you need to have play version of Triangle away, and you should check (enable) 'Auto reset at boot'. Again this feature depends on kernel/recovery is supported or no

p.s.-no root, no development.

Yes, you are right! It belongs in the general section and not stickied in the dev section (like every other phone) so it can get lost on page 8 and more people **** up their phone.
Seriously. Go in the dev section of 20 different phones and tell me what percentage have a root method stickied right at the top.
I also was able to root my phone with this method.
Back to Stock?

Are we able to bring it back to stock just in case?

Hello, I can not post on the developer forums yet, so I will post what I can here.
I was able to get root access to my Samsung ATT Note 8 (SGH-i467). See attached image.
Thank you;

The XDA Forums: for being available.
chainfire: for obvious reasons. http://www.chainfire.eu/
I will try to put together a complete how to when I can. For now I will link to the image files I created.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.
Here we go.
1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).
2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.
3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.
4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.
You should now be able to run SuperSU.
If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;
Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.
1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.
2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)
3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.
4. Select Software update on the right.
5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.
[EDIT]
Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.
PHONE = MODEM...tar.md5
CSC = CSC...tar.md5
Thank you ZeroxCorbin, this method works flawlessly!
Thanks to DanMc85, crazymikey, & Danno5150 for the following:
If you are looking to update to MF2 after you root, make sure that you enable Survival Mode within SuperSU Pro and then perform the update BEFORE you remove any bloatware or make any changes to the file system, as changes in the system will cause the update to fail.
Remember to do a backup of any apks before removal as this will allow you to put them back in place in preparation for future updates. (MF3?)
Hope this helps mitigate some of the questions.
Thanks again guys!

Thank you very much
Everything went well and I was able to root after 2 months. Took a while, but thank yery much. I've missed Titanium Backup so much.
Instructions were very clear and concise. Was able to root in about 15 minutes with reboots and pushes. Worked perfectly following the instructions to upgrade to MF2

Thank you this worked perfectly; note I can use the device the way I want to.
Thanks I was worried I was gonna have to take this back! But it worked on secound tty and using Titanium Backup Pro I can fully integrate Root apps and updates into the stock system rom with no trouble! How do you install a TWRP Recovery for this model?

What will happen if my fone is an unlocked ATT
I am a little worried because I have it unlocked for international 3g sim. If I root it, will i have to unlock again?
Sorry about my dumb question

We can't flash any custom recoveries until the bootloader is unlocked
At least we have root.

I think that he's talking about SIM unlock maybe? If that's the case, I'm assuming that the way that this root was setup, you will probably need to re-unlock the SIM, but I'm not 100% sure.
So glad we finally have root! Won't do this until a bootloader is figured out though. But this is the first step! I wish I knew more on how to crack bootloaders to help out :/
So I know, does this method work with the OTA Update that AT&T put out in August?

I will try to put together a complete how to when I can. For now I will link to the image files I created.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.
Here we go.
1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).
2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.
3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.
4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)
This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.
You should now be able to run SuperSU.
If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;
Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.
1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.
2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)
3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.
4. Select Software update on the right.
5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.
[EDIT]
Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.
PHONE = MODEM...tar.md5

Step six is just for you.
Only issue I had was forgot how picky Odin is about cables. Used a monoprice one and it Odin wouldn't see it. Used the stock cable and all was good.
Tablet is rooted and am in the process of debloating it.
Thanks very much for this. We all appreciate it.
Happy Note 8
Thanks thanks thanks. It worked like a charm!!! :good: I did have to find a shorter cable - wonder why my 10ft cable didn't work :laugh:
I am unclear on the use of odin
I am unclear on these two parts:
Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".

I have not used Odin, how do you "flash" these files? It looks like you have to do them one at a time. I am just unclear how to flash the files.
Also, It looks like you are doing them twice if you have the CAMF2 update, which I do, is that the case?

I downloaded the factory firmware from sammobile (took over 2 hours)
but I think the csc file is corrupt. odin gives an error when I try to select it, and windows shows that the last modified date for the file is year 3247
I downloaded the zip again from sammobile and it's still the same.
Could anyone upload the csc file somewhere like dropbox??
Thanks
EDIT: When I tried to select the csc file I was getting the error "parameter is incorrect". Googling the error shows people saying to remove the ".md5" extension and retry.
When I did, it accepted it (although I didn't flash it yet). But I just wanted to make sure that I am not bypassing the checksum and flashing a corrupt file. Is that what you guys had to do as well, assuming it is still the same factory firmware on sammobile?
Thanks
Can i use that to repair my bricked Note ?
As a general FYI, if you think you need to repartition your phone it is also possible that your phone has experienced:
a) A hardware issue, possibly partial or total emmc failure.
b) A mismatch between bootloader (sboot.bin) and trustzone (tz.img) versions. See this post or my MK6 stock thread for some possible options to fix this.
As a step of last resort to recreate the partition table on your phone, a pit file may be what you need. This can be done in either Odin or Heimdall.
Warning - repartitioning your phone may erase all data and might cause other unintended consequences. You assume all risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use a pit file in Odin, this is typically done as part of a flashing a stock rom package, like the LJ2 or MA4 package for the i317 (or similar package for the i317m). You specify the pit file in the PIT section, make sure the repartition box is checked, and then add the rom package in the PDA section like usual.
If you are running an official 4.3 or later bootloader you will not be able to successfully flash a stock firmware package that contains earlier bootloaders - Odin will hang and you will need to find a different stock package to flash that does not contain a bootloader. (i.e. If you took the the i317 4.3 OTA and are running the MK6 bootloader or a later bootloader, you'll want to avoid UCAMA4)
The attached zip includes pit files for both the i317 and the i317m. The partition mapping is the same for both (see the included analysis files), but the pit files have unique security signatures which are accepted only by the bootloader of the specific model phone for which they are intended. I've tested the file for the i317 and can confirm that it works as intended. The file for the i317m was pulled the same way by an XDA member (thanks @plemen !) with an i317m and I've confirmed it is formatted correctly. It has now been confirmed as working.
If you want to learn a bit more about pit files, check out this thread by Adam Outler:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540480
Very interested in this, as I need the pit file for my I317. Question about the bootloader, though.... I've never taken an OTA, just flashing CM and OmniROM nightlies (was on 4.4.2 when my phone committed suicide). Should I be safe to use this pit file? And what factory firmware would you recommend to go with it?
pit files should be back in a day or two (I'll be testing over the weekend).
Depending on what happened to your phone it's still highly probable that your pit (partition) data is fine. There's a way to confirm this using Heimdall - when time permits I'll add instructions to post #2. That's a safer first step than attempting a repartition.
As for bootloader and firmware - if you've never taken an OTA, and you're not on a 4.3 bootloader your best bet for stock firmware is UCAMA4. It's a more complete and somewhat newer package than the other option (UCALJ2). You can get this from sammobile, or a mirror copy I have linked in post #2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
that post also has information on a couple apps you can load that will allow you to check which bootloader you have loaded once your phone is operational.
Thanks for doing this! Did you have any luck over the weekend? Looking to re-partition as I'm unable to mount.

I expected a test phone on Saturday that didn't arrive until Tuesday thanks to the USPS getting the day off on Monday. Once I confirm the files work as intended I will repost them.
As for the issue you are having - what partition isn't mounting? Can you provide more detail?

The Note 2 (ATT) suddenly rebooted and stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen. A couple reboots and a battery pull did not solve the issue. I even let the phone stay on the screen in the event it needed to do some sort of repair.. but after an hour, nothing changed.
I loaded CWM recovery and got recovery mount errors. Also, I am unable to mount any of the internal file system when attempting from the advanced menu. After a couple of hours of following tutorials I went into download mode and installed the stock ATT rom. It was successful but still did not boot (attempted this twice). I came upon a few suggestions for similar issues that said the PIT file was needed to repartition. I used Beanstalk 4.4.2 before the crash.

The symptoms you describe are similar to those I've seen on the Q&A forum recently. I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I suspect you have a partial emmc (hardware) failure.
My time during the week is limited so I expect to have testing done this weekend.

Nice job Zen
Sent from my SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Pit files are back up and attached to the OP. The i317 pit file is tested and confirmed working.
The i317m file is identical, except for the security signature. I'm currently looking for someone with a healthy i317m willing to test flash the i317m pit file to confirm it works. (I would do this myself, but I don't have an i317m).
Unfortunately it did not work for me. emmc failure suspected. Strange thing is that in ODIN I can still "Successfully" install a ROM.. and even the PIT file succeeded. I still got a logo screen for several minutes.
Fortunately for me, I have an additional mainboard from a otherwise damaged note 2. I'll be swapping that out.
Thank you anyway. Hope your file helps others!
My phone was not booting and stopped at Samsung logo. After the pit file and stock rom, my phone is live again. I am still having issue with storage but at least I have good starting point.
thanks
Works fine on i317m

Thread moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/samsung-galaxy-s9--s9-cross-device-development/twrp-exynos-t3763464.
Changelog:
Note that this page only includes device-specific changes. For global TWRP changes, go to twrp.me.
Mar 16, 2018 (twrp-3.2.1-1):
Add system_image, vendor_image
Rename display name of /odm to "Carrier Configs"
Mar 15, 2018:
Initial version
Guides:
Be aware that Android Verified Boot requires data (including those in internal storage) to be cleared after you unlocked bootloader and flash custom binaries. ("to protect user data, all state transitions wipe the data partitions and ask the user for confirmation before data is deleted." - https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot)
It is normal to get prompts like "Integrity verification failed. You have to reset the device to factory settings."
However, this will only happen when there is "state transition" so only when you switch from locked to unlocked or vice versa.
Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
Notice: This is "state transition" mentioned eailier.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the special dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage.

Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.

In theory you can, but so far no one including myself has been able to root from this.
See this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/development/twrp-samsung-s9-t3763548/
I wiped my data for nothing!
Wow that was fast twrp already.
Nice work Jesec and thank you:thumbup:
Now lets see how long till some dummy asks if it works on the snapdragon lol
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
@jesec if this twrp is becoming the official one I suggest you to include some of my features/fixes as for example img flash to specific partitions, OTG fix and more (also people on the s9+ thread reported that usb wasn't working), check my device tree here.
Have a nice day!
Can we flash SuperSU/Magisk instead of the dm-verity disabler? To root as well as for disabling dm-verity at the same time?

Please follow the contribution and code review process of TWRP if you want to contribute.
I will review the changes.
After following the instructions exactly in the OP, I flashed SuperSU v2.82-SR5-20171001224502. My S9 is rooted and everything is working great!
Thanks
(NOTE to North Americans: Don't get your hopes up, although I am in Canada, I have the Exynos version SM-G960F)

Will we see a kernel of yours ?
I mean after the news that AOSP GSI images are booting, one of the greatest kernel developer coming to S9 would be like the cherry on the top.

Maybe. I got this phone mostly for testing Button Mapper and High Brightness Mode. I couldn't resist trying to build a kernel this morning. It booted after a couple tries, but there was no wifi.

Sounds like a good start to me
I'm sure Samsung people, and myself would love some kernel magic.
For both Samsung and AOSP flavors

I'm guessing this involves editing a firmware binary?
(Sorry for OT, though it is development related)

Yup, im not sure about which fimc-<name>.bin needed to be patched on s9
Although this wont be a problem if you running gsi

That was for camera issues, the wifi issue is secure storage related.

Ah, thanks for correcting me
I've had a few issues with FRP randomly being triggered and not allowing TWRP to boot at all. Still not sure what causes it (might be because I changed my google account password) but I've successfully been able to reflash stock without losing the data partition, so you can re-root without losing anything. Had to remove the USERDATA image from the stock AP tar file to not wipe USERDATA tho.
