the download mode works perfectly

Tested by my phone with the official ROM SM-C9000_C9000ZHU1BQL3 Android 7.1.1 Nougat

How To Root Galaxy C9 Pro SM-C9000 On Nougat 7.1.1 ? hong kong version

Special Notes:
1. DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE "OEM UNLOCK" (located in Developers options).
2. KNOX will be tripped once you flashed custom binaries to your phone.
(Your warranty may be voided. However this may not affect you if your country forces Samsung to provide hardware warranty regardless of software status.)
3. Samsung Firmware OTA (aka System Updates) will no longer work once you flashed custom binaries.
(You can flash custom ROMs if you want to keep the OS up-to-date.)


WHAT IS TWRP?
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

How to intall TWRP using ODIN
1) Go to Settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” seven times to enable “Developer options”.
2) Go back to the main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select“Developer options” from there.
3) Under Developer options, look for “Enable OEM unlock”checkbox/toggle and make sure you Check it or turn it ON.
4) Now Boot your Samsung Android device into Download mode.To Do So Follow the steps below
5) Switch off your device.
6) Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin will automatically detect the device and show an “Added!!” message. If not then your device is not connected properly
7) Now click on the AP tab on Odin window and select the TWRP recovery .tar file that you downloaded for your device.
8) Click the Start button on Odin to start Flashing and wait for it to finish the process.
Once it finished successfully, a pass message on the Odin screen will pop up
Your device will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. Now You can disconnect your device.

Hello :3 i performed the same steps but it just keeps corrupting my stock/current rom after i flash twrp. Some people face this same problem... What they can do is they can flash back the original samsung rom without the stock recovery, so then the twrp one will be there.

you need to uncheck reboot option from odin, After Pass success message on odin remove cable from your phone then press volume down + home + power off when black screen appears immediately manually boot it to twrp by pressing volume up + Home + Power on and you boot to twrp.

I managed to install TWRP on my C9000 HK but it is that of the C900F version

TWRP-3.1.1-0-C900F

how to root please ?
Big thanks to dzkouba!!! W/o your report I'd have probably given up because at the time of trying out your solution I've already spent 20+ hours trying to install TWRP on my SM-C9000 (Hong Kong).

For what it's worth, here are the things you will need to do in order to install TWRP on your SM-C9000:
  1. Unlock the bootloader
  2. Enable "OEM Unlock", which can only be done in version 7 (Nougat) or earlier Miracle Box didn't work for me.
  3. Flash a TWRP version that's tailored for SM-C900F (as dzkouba suggested)
