Guys, here is the absolutely easiest way of rooting your Galaxy S9/S9+:

This is a custom ROM but in fact it's a 99% stock ROM with bloatware removed. You just download a ZIP file (both Android 8 and 9 are available), flash it with TWRP or Odin and you are done! All apps and files are untouched (i.e. you keep all your app, setting and files, there is no need for wipe or factory reset). You can even keep full device encryption which is a unique feature for rooted Samsung phone!
I had rooted Android 8, then flashed this ROM (Oreo), then flashed the same ROM (PIe) with encryption and everything is working flawlessly.
