I can read Chinese and follow the instructions in gfan http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8411113-1-1.html (basically the same as the first post here). And installed twrp on my Hong Kong version AQA2 without problem.

I also odin the the China rom (QA6), follow the same instructions for QA6 twrp, and installed the only custom rom (QA6) over there. It unlocks a lot more features (I need split windows for ALL apps), and 4 ways power menu.
I can't post the link here as it includes some softwares that shouldn't allowed. But it shouldn't be hard to find.

Yes, completely compatible and I am using it in HK and China (but have to flash stock China rom or bootloader first with odin or wifi not working). Some Chinese apps but can be uninstall or manually remove using root explorer (under /system/app or /system/priv-app. Google is not enable by default, but U can enable it very easily by using the supplied config tool)

Very stable for me so far. I need custom room to enable split windows for all apps.

Sorry guys for asking again, can we use this process to root c9 indian version?
i tried to root my phone sm-c900f using all links here & on google.
Odin said PASS.

But the phone will not boot into twrp..
It says booting into recovery and quickly flashes some text in red and another line in yellow and boots into the phone.
Not sure what it says and I am not sure how to capture that text..

:(

So after flashing TWRP with Odin, are you not able to login into TWRP recovery mode? Could you please confirm if you have saved TWRP file in the SD card?

No root/custom roms development for this phone.
Eagerly waiting for a Dev to start working on this...
