Hello again everyone.

i am just presenting why I need root for a phone:
1. first of all is the backup - partition backup

2. access to all files and not read only - so with TWRP 3.3.1 for Android 10 and Magisk Canary, here on Note 9, the system partition is accessilbe and is writable. is NOT read only - hurrraaaayyy.
So you can edit for example build.prop. etc etc etc, remove system apps that you don't need etc. without brick-ing the phone.

3. I need root for modifying audio driver - so now i manage to install Viper4Android on Android 10 with no problems and now the audio is way better that that Dolby stock thing.

4. and the final think to have root is to have the camera app/driver modified. On Android Pie there was the Zero Mod Camera mod, which you can modify the jpg compression, and the bitrates for all video resolutions, both for h264 and hevc codecs. BUT for the moment for Android 10 this mod is not available - YET I HOPE.

so in conclusion - for Note 9, the last official Android will be 10 . And i think on this platform wich is NOT SYSTEM-AS-ROOT as the latest Samsung Phones , Note 9 will remain the best accessible phone to root and to have access to everything in it.
so in this moment Note 9 is the best solution in terms of root and stuff , better then Note 10 and others

Good morning all,

The objective of this method is to have an Android 10, with Root with TWRP operational for backups and restoration of all partitions.
I spent many days (nights) researching XDA to develop this procedure and find out how Android Q blocked the mounting of partitions from the start after the installation of the ROM.
I tested on my 2 Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F

REQUIREMENTS:
Have a Note 9 SM-N960F
Andoid Q stock ROM: N960FXXS4DTA1-XEF (or the next ROMs)
Odin3 v3.14.1
TWRP for Android 10: twrp-3.3.1-r3.7-Q-crownlte.tar
Magisk: magisk-canary - Copy to ExtSDCard
Dm-Verity & ForceEncrypt Disabler v02.02.2020 - Copy to ExtSDCard
Have a "BootLoader" already unlocked.

Very important the order of pressing the keys: If it is noted "Power" + "Bixby" + "High Volume", do not do "Bixby + Power + High Volume", respect the order of the keys.

STEP 1: On your Andoid PIE or Q, Activate the developer mode
-Activated = ON
-OEM unlocking = ON
-Auto system update = OFF
- USB debugging = ON
-Check apps via USB = OFF
-Verif bytecode debuggable apps = OFF (only available on Android 10)
- Default USB connection = File transfer / Android Auto (Android Auto is only present in Android 10)

Turn off Note 9, "Power" button

STEP 2: Flash the stock ROM
1-Restart in Download mode
-Hold the Note 9 in the palm of one hand and with the thumb press the "Bixby" button and keep it pressed,
-With the other hand, plug the USB cable into the phone,
-Then press the "Volume Down" button with your free hand.
-As soon as the first screen is displayed, release the buttons, then confirm with the "High Volume" button

Now open Odin on your PC in Admin mode,
-Important: check "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" in the Odin options and nothing else.
-Select your AP, BL, CP and CSC_xxxx firmware files (do not put HOME_CSC), then click on "Start"
You got the "PASS!" in Odin, the Note 9 will restart and you will see a blue screen indicating that your device is updating for 2 to 5 seconds, then the Note 9 will restart again.

Very important: As soon as the screen turns off for a second restart, you must press "Power" + "Bixby" + "Volume High" to force the boot on the Recovery stock.
This is very important because if it starts initializing, mounting partitions in TWRP will be impossible and you can start again from point 1.

-Use the volume buttons to navigate the Recovery stock menu and the power button to select an option.
- Choose the "Power Off" option and remove your USB Type-C cable from the Note 9.

STEP 3: Flash TWRP

1-Restart in Download mode
-Hold the Note 9 in the palm of one hand and with the thumb press the "Bixby" button and keep it pressed,
-With the other hand, connect the usb cable to the Note 9,
-Press the "Volume Down" button with your free hand.
-As soon as the first screen is displayed, release the buttons, then confirm with the "High Volume" button

2-Now open Odin on your PC in Admin mode,
-Important: Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and leave checked "F.Reset Time" in the Odin options and nothing else.
-Select in TW the file TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-r3.7-Q-crownlte.tar) then click on "Start"
-You got the "PASS!" in Odin, remove the USB Type-C cable from the Note 9.

3-The next step is very important, you must force the Note 9 to stop, then restart in Recovery mode
Press "Power" + "Volume Down" for 7 seconds to exit the download mode.
As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press the "Power" + "Bixby" + "Volume Up" keys to start Recovery, as soon as the screen turns on release all the buttons.
After a first boot, if the screen turns off and then restarts, immediately press the "Power" + "Bixby" + "Volume High" keys,
You must have the TWRP screen, if this is not the case, initialization has started, you must repeat all the procedure in point 1 because the TWRP fash will not be operational for the rest.

STEP 4: Root of Note 9
-In TWRP, you must swipe to authorize the modification
-Now format your data, Press "Wipe", then "Format Data", then on the confirmation screen type "yes" to continue.

(Very important, If there are red lines during the format, there is a decryption error, then go back and reboot Recovery
Format your data again, Press "Wipe", then "Format Data", then on the confirmation screen type "yes" to continue.)

- Back button for the first screen, then press "reboot" then "Recovery"
-Now you need to Install Magisk Canary in TWRP,
-Click on "Install" and select "Magisk Canary.zip" located on the ExtSDCard then validate the flash.
-You must have the message "Done"
-Return back, then Install then "Dm-Verity & ForceEncrypt Disabler v02.02.2020" located also on the ExtSDCard.
-You must have a message "Done", then an error line "Failed to mont '/ odm" then done, ignore it.

Click "Reboot sytem" to start your system.

Configure all the settings, install your applications and test the full functionality

Important: If you are switching from Android PIE to Android Q, it is preferable not to authorize the restoration from Google or Samsung, but to redo the installation of the applications from the Google Store or from your APKs.

STEP 5: Backing up the partitions
-Turn off Note 9 with the "Power" beam
-Press the keys "Power" + "Bixby" + "Volume High" to start in TWRP
-You should no longer have the "swipe to authorize the modification" screen, if this is the case then authorize the modification again
-Select "Backup", then activate all partitions.
-Select ExtSDCard or OTG as destination
-Set "Today's date + INIT-Android 10" as the backup name, then zip to start the backup.

(Very important, there must be no error otherwise the partition (s) are locked by Android 10 and restoration will be impossible)

-If the backup is OK, click the restart button.

STEP 6: Test the Restoration of the partitions
-Turn off Note 9 with the "Power" beam
-Press the keys "Power" + "Bixby" + "Volume High" to start in TWRP
-Click on "Restoration"
-Select the previous backup then zip to start the Restoration.

(Very important, there must be no error otherwise the partition (s) are locked by Android 10 and recovery is impossible, TWRP is badly initialized and locked by Android)

-If the Restore is OK, click the restart button.

It's over.

Thanks to Zackptg5, topjohnwu and jcadduono for the "Dm-Verity & ForceEncrypt Disabler v02.02.2020"
Thanks to Geiti94 for the twrp-3.3.1-r3.7-Q-crownlte.

Hello @3arthur6
Thank for the new version of TWRP
Work very OK

 

[zadox]

In order to install @dr.ketan 's Q04 custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F/DS (I was already at Q01), I followed @Montero7o 's post.

I wiped everything then installed stock (AP=N960FXXS4DTA5, CSC= N960FOXM4DSLA, CSC=EUR). OEM unlocking is greyed out but set to ENABLED ("Bootloader already unlocked").

But whatever I do, I can not flash @geiti94 's TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-crownlte_UNOFFICIAL.tar.md5) nor @3arthur6 's TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-r3.8_q-crownlte.tar) with Odin v3.13.1; I also tried with Odin v3.13.3, v3.14.1, and @realbbb 's patched Odin v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD.

All fail with "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)" error.

Any help?

Hello
Installing TWRP + ROOT for Android 10 is very easy, there is a very detailed procedure that I did from the posts described here or the one on XDA for which I still thank the authors, but I found them incomplete for Android 10, this procedure is described on this same page at post # 341
This procedure may seem long because it is very detailed, but do not take more than 5 minutes to complete.
The difficulty is not to let Android start after the flash by Odin, otherwise it is impossible to mount the partitions.
I advise you to fully understand this procedure before implementing it if you want it to work.
This procedure allowed several users to successfully install TWRP + ROOT on Android 10 with the backup and restore of the 11 partitions that works.
You don't have to use Magisk Canary, it also works perfectly with Magisk v20.3

Thanks Montero7o,
I thought that I did up to step 3, but I fail at TWRP flashing with Odin at step 3. Maybe I should start with Stock Pie (instead of Q) at step 1?

Install TWRP on rooted Note 9 [Q] with magisk v20.3

Hello,
Following the procedure I patched the AP file of Android 10 stock ROM by using Magisk manager and installed the Q ROM to my Note 9 using Odin.
Now I have rooted N9 running Q. Everything works perfect.
I would like to install working TWRP now.
According to my unpleasant experience with Q ROM, Magisk 20.3 (both stable and canary) and TWRP 3.3.1-r3.7-q (boot-loop, missing system partition etc.) , I would not like to come back to the situation to spoil everything, since I had to flash the stock Q ROM several time until I came to this stage that my phone is running well as I described at the beginning.
Please give me an advice how to install TWRP on the safe way using the new TWRP 3.31-r3.8-q or some other more reliable.
Is this realistic in this moment or should I wait for a more stable TWRP?
Thank you very much in advance.

 

[Montero7o]

Hello @omnimj
You will never be able to install the TWRP, once you have started Android 10, it will permanently lock the mounting of partitions by TWRP from the start of initialization.

I advise you to read and understand my tutorial which was duplicated at post # 341
If you don't understand what you need to do, you will never get there.
I can not help if you do not follow this tutorial and respect the "IMPORTANT" phases mentioned.
cordially

Why are you messing up by doing all steps that even doesn't requires for N9 which is not true SAR like s10/N10
Here very simple steps to get twrp and root on Note9 with Android 10
- Flash stock Q
- oem bootloader unlock
- flash twrp - reboot to twrp - flash latest stable magisk
- reboot twrp
- flash dm - verity disable force encrypt (link below)
- reboot twrp - format data (that you need to confirm by typing 'yes'
Reboot to system and done!

Here already I have explained on how to root thread

Hello @ dr.ketan

If your procedure works with your customn rom that I tried, this is not the case of stock roms, under TWRP certain partitions are not accessible in R / W
My procedure allows the backup and restoration of the 11 partitions.

Your procedure? What is your procedure?
And this is not my procedures nor my ROM have custom partition table that is different from stock
And I never had issue in backup /restore when I make it
I can't understand my procedure and your procedure, provide me some technical point what is wrong in said procedure. What technically you have found different in my rom and stock rom that twrp works differently?
