hi everyone... this morning i found my phone in twrp 3.2.3-0 screen... following is what i tried to boot into system

1. swipe to unlock
2. choose reboot option
3. choose system option

after system reboot... it first shows samsung galaxy note9 boot logo, then samsung logo for a couple of minutes, automatically reboot itself again for the second and third time and ended up in twrp screen again....

View attachment 5595193

Thank you so much @dr.ketan. I got Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G as well but I have decided to keep it unrooted so that i can rely on it for banking apps and specially samsung pass and Spay. I love both of them. Android Devs are challenging us time and again by detecting root which stops us to use some of the banking apps when needed.
So I will keep using Note 9 for root related features and Note 20 for secure apps. I still find it full of features.
Thanks for all your hardwork for keeping our Note 9 Alive and up to date.

What is issue with Google pay & Google password ? both are best alternative to samsung pass & pay.

What is issue with Google pay & Google password ? both are best alternative to samsung pass & pay.

There are some basic differences between both like I can add cards on SPay and use NFC tap to pay but nothing major that we can say is show stopper, this is why I was happy with both the alternatives on my rooted N9 for over 2 years.
Major reason of switch is this crazy root detection stuff from Google. Have tried everything but a couple of banking apps can still detect root and are unusable for me with Zygisk and hidemyapp too.
