Wow, u mean to say that youve (potentially)achieved root for the Snapdragon galaxy s9+, running One UI? If this pans out I can honestly say you've made my week, possibly month! Lmk via PM/EMAIL If u need any experienced 'Rooters' to test this method out.... :good: :cool:

Edited to add: why does it say ROM OS 2.3 Gingerbread???

This would be the BEST THING EVER !!!!
So... how exactly did you do this? This is for the Snapdragon 845 version of the S9+, right?
Are you all realizing that's only for the SM-G9650, which indeed have a Snapdragon but it's unlockable?

I'm trying, I have to be sure that it works 100%, for now it's all good.
So you compiled a kernel and installed it? Thats all you need to do. There is code in the 9650 pie kernel that will panic the kernel if you try to run a binary under a uid <1000 that is on a filesystem that isnt system, odm, vendor, or root. Recompile a 100% stock kernel with CONFIG_RKP_NS_PROT off and it will work fine
