Hey guys, please help me out. Since Samsung has now released the Stable android 10 update for S9, please find a way to root it. I am not able to root nor install custom kernel ElementalX on it.

same question.
Ideally without wiping data if at all possible
thanks
I wouldn't recommend that on a main upgrade. It can give unwanted consequences. I always advocate doing a full reset on these.

Oh, btw, for my part it has to be a Magisk or similar root, since any visible root prevents me from using many apps I need to have, like VIPPS (Norwegian money transfer app), mobile banking, Google Pay and so on.

Thats the new verify thing from samsung.
The part is, that the system mount point is after init process. The init part has a dynamic mounting part and that is the problem actually.

The recovery rooting is also not working, of part from mounting issue.
I have check the mounting part, with a rooted recovery. At the moment we can not mount the system partition rw.
One way is to find a way patch the init part....but the way is open.

I hope john can help us....:confused:

Android 10 root solution found. Installed alexndr rom based on stock android 10. Working flawlessly with ElementalX kernel. Super smooth & snappy. This rom comes preloaded with Magisk root 20.3 & all the unnecessary stuff removed. Just flash the rom in twrp. No problems in flashing without wipeing data/factory reset. Completely stock looking firmware. No extra app added. Please check it out if anyone wants root on Andorid 10. Links below.

After this modification, is the system "/" partition read/write "rw" mountable?

Hey I'm on stock Android 10 already. How do I go about this? Flash TWRP and then this ROM? That's it?

Yes. Correct. 1st TWRP, then this rom. If you want to use any Custom Kernel like White Wolf or ElementalX, flash custom kernel after flashing the rom, then Magisk after it.
