I know there's a root method out already, but I prefer to hold off given the potential limitations (especially the battery 80% issue).
Based on your experience, do you think there will be a better root method coming out soon?
Thanks!

because it requires a unlocked bootloader, not a engineering bootloader.
If the S8\s8+ doesn't get it, we def ain't gonna get it for Snapdragon users.
One of the main reasons i went exynos

does the Exynos Note 8 have an unlocked bootloader?

Are you asking if someone has a crystal ball and can tell you the future development of the phone? Maybe they can give me winning lottery ticket numbers.

What that means is no one has been able to find a workaround (engineering or otherwise) or not smart enough to figure it out yet and they're not clairvoyant enough to know if anyone can in the future. But I think it's a great question that I had actually been wondering myself.

Soon? absolutely not. I recommend backing up your stuff using samsung cloud and trying the root to see how it affects you. Exynos has a Unlocked BL HOWEVER it does not work on CDMA carriers.

thanks for all the responses. very much appreciated.
i'm on Tmobile, so maybe i should get the exynos version if that root works better?
also, which phone/brand is easy to root?

if you get exynos there's a chance you'll have the issue where you have to wait 7 days to unlock your bootloader, you can get the korean version which comes unlocked out of box.
If you're not looking to deal with this kind of risk then go for pixel line, one plus 5\5t when it comes out, not sure what else really, the essential phone should have unlocked bootloader and roms soon as they've promised to release the source code and image files.

You can compile twrp for your device yourself....and if successfully...and they feel it works they will make it official...check out their site...Google compile twrp
I got an SM-N950U about a week ago but have have not unboxed it yet.
I'm sure there have been OTA updates being pushed out.
What build(s) can been rooted?

Any under BQJA...so the latest updates break root...
AQH7, AQH9, AQI5, AQI9, AQIA...that's about it
Here with the model N9500 you can unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP and root with magisk

I'm sure if I dig into the forums I will be able to find the answers I'm looking for buuut, I have a Exynox Note 8 SM-N950F, is there a way to root it with safety net not tripped and Knox not tripped?
I couldn't really care for Knox, but it gets rid of s-health and that's what I want
Thank You ??
I'd like to know which note 8 version to buy if I wish to root, rom, and unlock bootloader. Free bump OP cause I think we can both help each other get our answers.
There is no way to root without tripping Knox, but there is a patch to bring s health back after rooting

Exynos is best for all that, since bootloader is unlocked and roms are being developed. Lots of reading still for you...particularly the OEM unlock thread .
Until today there's no way of rooting without tripping the Knox

No patch to bring back Samsung Pay after tripping Knox as far as I know.
Yes if you want custom roms then Exynos is the best bet because of the unlocked bootloader. There are some exceptions with Snapdragon that also have unlocked bootloader, but most don't so they don't have as much development attention as Exynos. Unfortunately some Exynos have OEM Unlock issues which throw a bit of a wrench into things for some. Check out the OEM Unlock thread for details on that.

What a nightmare. I just read it. Typical Samsung fashion.
Sounds like SM-N950N is the only safe version where unlocked bootloader sticks and not thrown back in jail.
Hello All,
It has been a while since I returned back to the forms and seems kinda hard to find the path. . . .
Is this the right place for Samsung note 9 Tmobile? if not, can someone please point me to the correct forums for the T-mobile users who has the Samsung Note 9 Smartphone.
I see a lot of threads for Verizon and ATT and I don't want to be in the wrong place.
Like everyone else, I want to dig into the threads and root my Note 9.

Yes this is the correct place, the threads aren't broken up by carrier anymore also unless you have the Exynos version (which I assume you do not because you said that's on T-Mobile) Root is not available for the Snapdragon variant and I believe it hasn't been since the Galaxy S7?

acctualy, the forum is not wrong but your phone is.
so if you thought about rooting it, then you bought the wrong note 9 model.

Yup! You're in the right place! However, there is no root for the US Note 9s with the Snapdragon processor. Only the international versions have unlockable bootloaders and/or root. But the problem with an international version is no warranty and you won't have as great of a signal due to differences in supported radio bands and lack of carrier aggregation. Though some people in the US have had luck with them.
Also once you unlock the bootloader and root, you break Knox, which is permanent. Once that happens you'll never have Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, etc...again.

The Note 8 HAD root. Samfail was patched long ago when Oreo came out. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible to root the Note 8 now.

Yeah, but he'll lose carrier aggregation, so poorer signal strength, and US Warranty. And once rooted, Samsung Pay, etc.
What I want to do, but not in any specific order
Glad I made it here!!!
Thanks for the reply everyone who chimed in.
Here we go again with the no "root" from the 7 edge to this . . .
T-Mobile had this promotion that was hard to pass up so I upgraded.
What I want to do, but not in any specific order
Root
De-Bloat the bundled apps that I will not use
Install recovery tools
Install backup tools (need root)
Pimp out the kernel
It take me awhile to navigate around XDA to look for these tools and such.
I have never used Samsung Pay nor am I onboard with that service.
If anyone knows where I can find some of these tools, please don't hold back because it will take me awhile to get started.
Thanks Again!

appart from using adb to disable packages, none of the above list is possible without root.
nothing has changed regarding if the device is unrootable then these things aren't possible.

THIS
PHONE.
Root is not possible. Root will not be possible. You bought a phone that can't and won't be rooted. The developer of Samfail said it was impossible.
You can't have root.
Just in case you want to root the T-Mobile Note 9...you can't.
Ok, no one has provided a root or cooked a Kernel . . .
Are there any rooted roms that were baked?
Silly to ask, but are there any pure android roms for this Note 9?

I'm not sure why you're so confused. The bootloader can be unlocked. So no custom ROMs. NONE. There is no root and never will be.
What you're asking is impossible.

Is the snapdragon version rootable? Has anyone rooted their snapdragon version?
I don't have that version but the answers are yes and yes.
the method to root with just magisk is the same for all phones more or less, with TWRP you can follow the instructions for the 5G version and use the 5G TWRP.

i had read somewhere, it think it was the snapdragon 855 s10, that werent rootable. Are you %100 sure this s20fe with snapdragon is rootable? Also is it doable with magisk?
Qualcomm chips on Samsung phones sold in the US and Canada have locked bootloaders, since the 4G snapdragon isn't on-sale in North America you are going to be OK. I've spoken with 4G users who've rooted and there are threads and replies here you could've read that confirm all this.

thanks a lot for the clatification ive looked around a bit saying they were successful but they say like "ye i rooted my s20 fe" and it makes you doubt is he really talkin about the sdg? (even tho its under sdg thread)
Btw do you know if magisk works too?
yes magisk works, flashing via TWRP and then updating is the easiest way.

pay attention to the section for Samsung phones.
Samsung + Snapdragon + US >>> No Root
Samsung + Snapdragon + Rest of the world >> Rootable
Hope, gona help people understand more, which model to go for, as usually Snapdragon are prefered, but dont go for US models...
