[Guide]How to root Samsung Galaxy C9 pro (SM-C9000)

Hi! After struggling in rooting my C9 pro (SM-C9000, TGY) due to the lack of a proper guide, I decided to provide my guide to the community.
Of course, I don't take responsibility for damages etc. etc. Read the entirety of the guide before doing anything.
Useful shortcuts: Holding down power+volume down for a couple seconds force reboots from almost anywhere. Vol up+home+power while booting boots into recovery. Vol down+home+power boots into download (odin) mode.
Step 1) Fetch the required files(sorry I can't post direct links):
Nougat 7.1.1 firmware from sammobile
Oreo 8.0 firmware from sammobile
Odin https://www.xda-developers.com/update-firmware-any-samsung-phone/
Magisk Manager https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ (The link that says "Download the latest Magisk Manager APK here")
ADB https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
CROM Service apk from apkmirror
Step 2) Prepare the files
Unlock developer options on your phone by spamming Build Number in Settings> About Phone> Software Information. Enable USB debugging from developer options. Connect your phone to your PC via cable. Extract ADB (platform-tools) on your desktop (or other location). Extract Oreo firmware. There should be 5 files. Copy the one that starts with AP into platform-tools folder. Open the platform-tools folder. Hold down shift and right click inside the folder. Choose "Open PowerShell window here" from the context menu. Type or copy-paste
Code:
.\adb devices
to start ADB. On your phone, check "always allow on this PC" and click OK when prompted. Enter the code again and check if a device appears on the list. Then type
Code:
.\adb push AP_C9000ZHU1CSC1_CL14667562_QB22709761_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 /sdcard/
.(Change the name of the file corresponding to yours. You can change the destination to another folder in your phone. Ex. /sdcard/download/) This will transfer the file from your PC to your phone. Do not drag and drop the file. This might corrupt it, causing a bootloop upon installiation. (Happened to me initially. Recovered & used the push command to get it to work.). Transfer Magisk Manager's apk to your phone or download it directly from your phone(you can drag and drop this one, as it won't install if corrupted(it won't corrupt)). Install Magisk Manager on the phone(Enable sideloading if asked). In the app, touch the topmost install button and touch install again in the next screen. You will have two options: "Download zip only" and "Select and patch a file". Choose "Select and patch a file", then locate the AP file you transferred to the device. Magisk manager will patch the file and generate magisk_patched.tar in /sdcard/download/. In ADB, type
Code:
.\adb pull /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.tar
This will transfer it to the platform-tools folder. Again, don't use windows explorer to transfer. That will most certainly corrupt the file.
Step 2.5) Backup
Backup your data (you can use smart switch desktop program paired with mobile app to backup most of the stuff). Remove your google account from the device.
Step 3) Install Nougat 7.1.1
Extract Nougat 7.1.1 firmware. Extract odin. Run Odin.exe (might have version in name). Click OK. Factory reset your phone (You can do so from settings or recovery mode.). After the reset, reboot into download mode. It will ask if you're sure you want to install unofficial software, choose continue (If I don't recall incorrectly, the button for that was vol up). Plug your phone into your PC. Odin log should say "added!!" and you should see your device in one of the rectangles above. Now select the tar.md5 files extracted from the 7.1.1 firmware. Click the BL button, locate the BL_etcetc.tar.md5 file, click open. It will check the md5 for a second then let you click the next button. After choosing the BL(bootloader), AP(system), CP(radio) and CSC(localization) files (USERDATA button should remain empty, HOME_CSC file has no use) make sure only F.reset time and auto reboot are selected in options. Click start to begin. After flashing, it will do another factory reset and show you the setup.
Step 4) Unlock Bootloader
Skip everything in setup, then unlock develper options and you should see "OEM Unlocking" option that was removed in OREO firmware in there. Enable it. Next transfer the CROM service apk to your device (or download it directly). Install the app. Open it. Unlock the bootloader. (This step is required because C9000 is a Chinese phone)
Step 5) Install Oreo again
Boot into download and connect to odin. You can use the reset button to empty the buttons. Now select BL, CP and CSC files from the extracted oreo firmware. For AP, choose magisk_patched.tar . Start. If the installiation fails, you didn't unlock the Bootloader properly. The phone will reboot and factory reset a couple times. When it boots up, you'll have magisk installed.
Step 6) Things to do after rooting(optional)
First of all, magisk can hide root from Google, but not Samsung. Samsung Health, Knox secure container, Maximum power saving mode and Samsung pay won't work after you root. NFC will keep turning on on its own unless you uninstall Samsung pay. A samsung package (I'm not sure about the name but I think it was security log agent) will keep sending an unblockable notification offering to unroot. Uninstall that too, and you'll have a stable experience.
Recovering from fails:
If download mode refuses to install because of unofficial binaries, the bootloader isn't properly unlocked. Wait a couple seconds and force reboot with the key combination. Since it couldn't flash the system, that should reboot back to download mode (or recovery. in that case, choose "reboot to bootloader"). Install the official firmware, unlock bootloader and try again.
If the magisk_patched.tar file gets corruped and you flash the corrupted file successfully, your device will get into a bootloop. After the install, odin orders the phone to reboot into recovery to factory reset, but since the system image is corrupted, it won't be able to boot and produce a kernel panic. This will cause the phone to reboot, which will fail and cause it to try to reboot again. Since the phone doesn't get past the splash screen, this bootloop cannot be interrupted by button shortcuts. You should wait for the battery to die out for the bootloop to end. (It should take a day at max. Wrap a towel around it to block the vibration sounds if you want) After battery gets depleted, you need to perform a quick maneuver. You should plug the phone into a power supply (preferably your computer) while holding down volume down+home+power buttons. If you do it right, it will boot into download mode. (Otherwise, it will bootloop again. Simply unplug, wait for it to stop and try again) Flash the official firmware and repatch the AP file. Just in case you run into this issue, I recommend having less than 10% charge in your phone while flashing, just to make the wait time shorter.
Important: Check your firmware's baseband version from settings before flashing. In C9000ZHU1CSC1, CSC1 is the system and U1 is the bootloader version. Compare the bootloader version to the firmware you're going to flash and make sure they match. You can't downgrade bootloader versions. Flashing a previous version will brick your phone. (Probably permanently) This shouldn't be an issue since sm-C9000 has only one bootloader version, but check it anyways just to be sure.

Have you tried this method and phone working fine will there will be any problem if i use this method for rooting c9000?

Yes, I did root my SM-C9000 using this method, and it is working nicely. Obviously I lost access to Secure Folder and Samsung Pay. You should be able to install the Play Store version of Samsung Health. Maximum Power Saving froze the phone the first two times I enabled it, but it's working fine now. One unexpected caveat is that mobile hotspot started to turn itself off if mobile data is enabled even though my carrier has no restrictions on using hotspot. You can't share your data connection using Bluetooth or usb cable neither. You can still use the hotspot for creating a local network. Other than those, I didn't experience any problems after rooting. While I was rooting, I did the mistake of using MTP to transfer the image and as a result my phone bootlooped for half a day but if you follow the instructions, that won't be a problem.
Of course, I don't guarantee anything and don't take responsibility, but there is no reason anything should go wrong.

Sorry for responding late. Yes, that is the exact model that I have and rooted using the method in the post. If you feel confident, you can follow trough it and root your phone. You can grab the required firmware from Sammobile. Keep in mind that after rooting some features might stop working (like hotspot and knox-related features). Good luck!

I got the same model of Samsung phone. I follow the steps but till step five, when i press open the files in odin and press start button, the odin will disappear in my computer. Then i try again and it failed. My phone shows: unsuppoted dev types. Here are my photos. Do you have any ideas? And i dunno how can i redo it again to root my phone. Would love to see helps from you, thanks!

Sorry for the late response. Searching that on the internet, it seems you might be using an old version of Odin. Please make sure you're using 3.13.1 and try again

I tried it, but it didn't work. I think I downloaded a bad firmware tho. I am going to try it now. Btw. if you want an easy firm download I highly recomend Frija v.1.3.0. - only easy, fast and WORKING (at least for me) firmware downloader.

I am stuck at odin saying NAND Write Start!!.
Could anyone help me?

[Guide] [Root] Samsung Galaxy a7 2018 (a750fn) Root Guide + Working Secure Folder & Samsung Health

How to Root Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 (a750fn) + Working Secure Folder & Samsung Health
Hello, this is a guide on how to root Samsung galaxy A7 2018 (a750fn). I've tried to simplify the guide as much as I can but I still suggest to root your phone only if you know what you are doing! Also if you have any questions or problems, just ask.
Note: Sorry for any grammatical or spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.
!Disclaimer!
- You do this at your own risk! I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, stuck on bootloop etc.!
- Backup your device before proceeding forward!
- This guide WILL trip Knox so your warranty will be void!
- The Knox-dependent applications like Secret Folder and Samsung Health will stop working but in this guide, there are two other miniguides that will explain how to enable them even after tripped Knox. - All of these steps have been tested on my phone - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) (a750fn) where they worked without problems.
Required Software/Resources:
- Odin (for flashing) - Download
- Samsung USB Drivers - Download
- 7zip (for archives) - Download
- Firmware with the last security patch from 2020 (for me, the patch was from November 2020) - Download
- TWRP Recovery - Download
- Magisk (for root) - Download
- DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip) - Download
- A MicroSD card
Setup the Software/Resources:
1. Install 7zip
2. Install the Samsung USB Drivers
3. Extract Odin to a folder and put it on the Desktop
4. Extract the firmware to a folder and put it on the Desktop
In the firmware there'll be 5 files:
- BL_FIRMWAREVERSION
- AP_FIRMWAREVERSION
- CP_FIRMWAREVERSION
- CSC_OMC_OXM_FIRMWAREVERSION
- HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_FIRMWAREVERSION (delete this one)
Delete the files starting with HOME_CSC.
5. Change the Magisk extension from .apk to .zip (Ex. Magisk_ver.apk --> Magisk_ver.zip)
6. Put the Magisk_ver.zip in the MicroSD card
7. Put the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip in the MicroSD card as well
8. Insert the MicroSD card in the phone
Steps to Root:
NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING FORWARD, BACKUP YOUR DEVICE!
1. Enable Developer Options (by clicking 7 times the build number of your phone)
2. Open Developer Options and find the option OEM Unlock
3. Enable OEM Unlock (this will factory reset the phone)
- After the factory reset the OEM Unlock option will be enabled and this will allow
flashing custom recoveries and etc. to the phone.
4. After the factory reset, when the phone boots up, turn it off
5. Connect the phone to you PC/Laptop via USB cable
6. While the phone is completely turned off, hold the buttons Volume UP + Volume DOWN until Download mode shows up
7. Press Volume UP again to confirm that you'll be modifying your device
8. On your PC/Laptop open Odin
9. On the left side in Odin there are 3 tabs: Log, Options and Pit
10. Open Options and remove the checkmark on the Auto Reboot option, then go back to Log
11. In the middle of the program there are 5 slots:
- BL (Bootloader)
- AP (Application Processor)
- CP (Modem)
- CSC (Consumer Software Customization)
- USERDATA
12. Click the first slot and navigate to the location where you extracted the firmware
- The start of the names of each firmware file corresponds to the names of the slots in Odin
13. Place each firmware file in the correct Odin slot that corresponds to their names
(Ex. BL_FIRMWAREVERSION is inside the BL slot)
14. With your phone connected, press the Start button to flash the firmware
- After the firmware has been flashed successfully, your phone will be downgraded to the last security patch from 2020 which fixes possible bootloops or other issues when rooting/disabling forced encryption.
- The firmware is successfully flashed when the top left bar is green and above says PASS!
After flashing the firmware DON'T boot in Android yet!
15. After flashing, hold the Volume DOWN + Power button for around 7 seconds, immediately when the screen goes black switch to holding Volume UP + Volume DOWN
- You will enter back in Download mode
16. In Odin, press the Reset button and again uncheck Auto Restart in Options
17. In the AP slot, select the TWRP Recovery (which is in .tar archive)
18. With your phone connected to your PC/Laptop in Download mode, press Start on Odin
- This will flash the custom recovery to the phone
19. You can now disconnect the phone from your PC/Laptop
Again, after flashing the recovery, do NOT boot into Android yet!
20. After flashing the custom recovery, hold the Volume DOWN + Power button for around 7 seconds, immediately when the screen goes black switch to holding Volume UP + Power button
- This will boot the phone into the custom recovery (TWRP in this case)
22. Inside TWRP Recovery, go to Wipe, select Format Data and type 'yes' to confirm
23. After the format, go to Install, select the MicroSD card and find where you've put the Magisk_ver.zip file, select it and install it
- This will root to the device!
24. After you have installed Magisk, go back to Install, select the MicroSD card and find where you've put Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip and install it
- This will disable the forced encryption!
- If there's an error when installing the zip that says 'Failed to mount '/odm' (no such file or directory)", simply ignore it and proceed forward.
25. Go to Reboot, select System and wait around 5-10 minutes till Android fully loads
- After Android has loaded, proceed through the setup process.
26. Go to all apps and find the application called Magisk
- When you open it, it'll ask you to complete the installation of the Magisk app.
- It may also ask to reboot, to fully complete the installation.
27. After the application has been fully installed, your device will be Rooted and with disabled forced encryption!
Fix Secure Folder & Samsung Health
Note: TWRP Backup is recommended in case something fails
Samsung Health:
Required Software:
- A build.prop editor like this
Steps:
1. Install a build.prop editor from the play store
2. Give the build.prop editor root access
3. Open the editor and search for the line - ro.config.tima=1
4. Change the 1 to 0
(Ex. ro.config.tima=1 --> ro.config.tima=0)
5. Save and Reboot the device
6. After the reboot Samsung Health should work as expected
Secure Folder:
Required Software:
- Smali Patcher - Download
Steps:
2. Extract Smali Patcher.zip into a folder
3. Run as administrator
- Wait until it says 'idle..' at the bottom left of the program
4. Uncheck everything checked (like Mock locations, Mock providers, High volume warning etc.)
5. Check Samsung Knox
6. Enable USB Debugging on your phone
7. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop
8. Press the ADB PATCH button
- A prompt will appear on your phone that asks if you allow your pc to do debugging mode operations on your phone.
9. Press allow on the prompt on your phone
- Wait until Smali Patcher is done.
- After Smali Patcher is done there should be a Magisk module inside it's folder.
10. Copy the Magisk module created by Smali Patcher to your phone
11. Open Magisk and go to Modules (the puzzle piece icon)
12. Tap on the button saying 'Install from storage'
13. Find the location where you've copied the module
14. Install the module
15. Restart your phone
16. If all done correctly, you should be able to set up and use Secure Folder

Thanks, everything works perfectly.

Hello,

For all devices but USA locked Snapdragon

Does anyone know if the Canadian SM-F711W can be rooted? Or is it like the USA models and locked out.
Just wondering if it is better to get a F711B model from the UK since I'm looking to upgrade from my Canadian Galaxy S9+ that can't be rooted.

thank you for the guide! are you sure that HOME_CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 should be put on USERDATA field? In the past we used to put it in the CSC (since we are not flashing CSC to keep our data)

Ah, stuff had changed. You can now put home_csc or csc to csc field or both of them. You can put nothing to userdata field too

so stick with don't put CSC since want to keep data?

If you unlock your bootloader, you will lost all your data definitely. However, if you just want to update the system without losing root and data, you will need to flash userdata in the CSC field

My bootloader is unlocked as previously I had root it and went back to official firmware. Now I want to have root but without losing current data.. Thanks

Flash the Magisk patched AP file in the AP slot and the HOME CSC in the CSC slot, I wouldn't go flashing anything in the USERDATA slot that sounds like bad advice.

Yes, that is the correct way to re-root

I've got a Canadian device ending in W. Is this possible? I heard USA and Canadian devices were locked the same way.

No, USA and Canadian model’s bootloaders are locked. So, you cannot root your device unfortunately

How To Guide Rooting a Samsung device using Magisk and Odin. (2023)

NOTE : This guide can work for almost all modern Samsung devices and not just the S7 FE.
The device will be erased completely in order to install the root.
Risks of rooting :
1. You can brick your phone by doing this.
2. Can void your warranty. (I suggest rooting after warranty or if your device is a bit old.)
3. KNOX can be tripped and some security features won't be available. ( WILL DISABLE SECURE FOLDER )
4. Some apps such as banking apps and calling apps such as Zoom may not work after rooting.
Things you need :
1. A PC/Laptop.
2. The device you wish to root.
3. An original Samsung cable
Before starting you should :
- UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
1. Remove all accounts from the device to ensure security features don't mess our root installation.
2. Turn on usb debugging. If you do not know how to do that, check here.
3. Download Samsung drivers to ensure the device is well connected.
4. This is a tedious process so i suggest charging your device until full.
1. Installing the firmware.
There is a forum for this. Click here.
If you want to use SamMobile to get the firmware : (you do need to sign up)
1. Go to Settings > About Device/Tablet > Software Info and note down the baseband version. This will be required for getting the firmware file.
2. While in Software Information, search for "service provider software version" and check the last 3 letters (Device Reigon). Example : XSA.
2. Extracting the MD5 File.
1. First you must download 7-zip to extract the md5 file. You may use other tools.
2. Then you must extract the files using 7-zip or the software you chose.
3. Next, extract only the files which start with a AP, BL, CSC and HOME. (This will take a while depending on the write speed of your storage.)\
4. Now transfer the AP file to your device. Make sure to put it downloads on your device for easy access.
3. Patching AP file with Magisk.
1. Now, download the Magisk manager apk.
2. Open the app and click install which is next to Magisk.
3. Click Select and Patch a File and select the AP file.
4. After patching, you should transfer the patched AP file (its usually renamed to Magisk Patched or something.) to the pc.
4. Flashing the patched AP file onto the device.
1. After the previous steps, make sure your device is in download mode and connected to your computer.
2. Now, download and open the latest version of Odin.
3. Go to Options and Disable Auto Reboot.
4. Click the AP button and choose the patched magisk file.
5. As we added the AP file, add the default. (BL, CSC and HOME)
6. Click Start.
5. Final steps
1. As soon as it finishes, exit out of download mode and immediately boot into recovery mode.
2. Use the volume buttons to go down to Wipe Data and Factory Reset.
3. Click the power button and confirm. After this, go back to reboot now and click the power button.
Once you finish the setup, go to the home drawer and check if the magisk app is there.
If not, shut down the device and turn it on again.
