Hey Max, I dont know if you will see this but I have 1 problem. It works fine and well. But when I open Magisk, and check Safetynet it both shows false. So I try updating Magisk even when you said you shouldn't do it. I could fix it anyway if it would brick. And it then shows true on Safetynet. But after a while the Root apps are not working properly. They do at first but after a while they don't. And then when I restart my phone it will be stuck on the Samsung screen. What can I do about that? Have a Galaxy S9+ SM-G965F
Hi Max, i recently used your method to root my s9+, and it worked. I know that once rooted, it is not possible to use samsung pay, but I found a way around it. I managed to bypass the "Access denied" message and set up samsung pay on my gear s3. If you are interested in knowing how, I am more than happy to share, but I dont knoww how to do so, hence why I am commenting on your video. Reply to this comment if you are interested.
Yeah awesome, got all the way through, I didn't have magisk either nor did I have root so I went through it all again and got right to the end and now i have a brick, thanks dude!
Hi Max, please help i have done exactly as u said i have S9+ G965F/DS and now i am stuck on SAMSUNGS GALAXY S9+ screeen .. nothing is happening for hours .. retsarting is no use...
Hey max, how was your experience with the Exynos S9+ model when it comes to battery life? Did it make you through the day? SoT was more than 5 hours consistently?
Max, I used to root all my phones and last one I did was my S6... Why the need today to root??? Since my S6, I had also the S7, S9+ and now on Note9 and no longer feel the need to root... What am I missing here???
You don't have to, I root my phones so I can easily backup app/app+data to other phones since I own many, also many 3rd party accessories like game controllers require full root to get overlay permission so rooted phones make it 10 times easier for stuff like that. Now, the question is, do you even have a phone that can be rooted? Most Qualcomm models cannot be rooted these days anyways so you may be out of luck unless you even have the right model.
@@BIGMACMCDONALDLEE tks for reply Max...by the way, as a Canadian, I truly appreciated your video about China and why you don't buy their phones.. we have 2 Canadians detained there in retaliation of Huawei's exec detained in Vancouver at the request of the USA...we are in the middle of quite a mess...
My phone has been stuck on the Samsung logo after the reboot step at about 10:08 for about 30 minutes. Followed all the steps exactly. How can I start the process over and try again?
I'll be very greatfyll if you could do a tutorial on how to root SM-N950F galaxy note 8 on android 9.0 pie please. thanks for the awesome tutorials max..your're great
the tutorial is very good, but i need help. I had problems with the rom, so I reinstalled the original rom. I took advantage and installed twrp and did root, called normal and with root working. I used magisk for permission of a fake gps app, but every time I restart it has an infinite loop on the screen unlock (going to the samsung name, operator symbol and back to samsung name), so I enter the twrp format and it opens the system again, but every time you restart I have to format it to start the system. Do you know anything that can help me? I'm Brazilian and your video helped me a lot. thank you very much.
I did everything, but then when i rebooted > recovery> do not install, it stopped working. Now if i connect the USB cable to my phone it keeps restarting. can u help?
Max, Maybe you make a video for S8 would be very happy, because my English is bad, in video I've always imitated you and has always worked out, for example, with S8 Android 8 TWRP and Root and Renovate ICE always great videos though as good as nothing understand what you say but can see how you step by step always Detailed shows. I write here only with Google translator. Many Thanks
Hello, whenever I try to flash TWRP this message appears and the phone doesn't restart: "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery)" Any suggestions?
Man. I swear, why does the United States version have to have locked bootloader's man. I'm so pissed because I want to root my phone so bad but I already am paying off this phone and can't afford a new one.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial can you please make a video how we can have our own zip package with our favorite apps after installing custom roms we can easily restore our apps from Twrp ?
you just install like any other APK what is important is how to adjust the settings so your images won't be blown join the GCam telegram group for instructions
For some reason, it denies my access to open the USB driver. It works with other .exe files, just not this one. Any help? Edit: it did not work from the site you linked but a different site, all I had to do was search for a windows galaxy driver.
It does not work!!! odin can not install the twrp despite that I do everything the same.
