Pretty much the question in the title.
I've got a note 3 that's dying rather quickly and has been mostly a pain.
The final price is 500 euros via carrier so the deal is massively good.
Yes / No.
Here i describe if you are going direct through Samsung and the below is taking from the UK site T&C but most likely be the same worldwide
If you have not rooted and not tripped Knox then yes if you put a stock rom back on it. If you have tripped Knox then most def No as its stated in the T&C's
Trade in terms n conditions

Where do I find the trade in value? I have an old Note just collecting dust. I have safestrap on it but think I can put it back to stock.

Shop Samsung app or Samsung's website. Select trade option then it gives you a list of phones and the rebate amount.

I'll look that up. I want to be able to root if that is ever an option but Verizon is offering a BOGO deal as well. The unlock version would be a better bet for rooting or no?
I don't see the Note 3 as a trade in option.

Lol... your not going to see root on the US snapdragons. Unlocked or carrier, BL is locked either way.
Root hasn't appeared on the S9 yet so unlikely the note will get it either.
You want root you either go exynos or the N9600 unlocked snapdragon (it should get root at least)

Hi!
I want to ask. And forgive my question. Some possibility of root Note 9 N960U & N960U1?
I know that many here are bothered by these types of questions.

It is not available, and there is a high probability that it never will be available.
For example there is still no root for S9/S9+ in U version.

Thanks for answer. If the USA version It is so complicated to root, then I will buy exynos version. Personally I like the devices that I can have control and rooted.
We are bothered by the questions because it seems like every person creating a new thread asking about it seems like they will get a different answer if they create their own thread about it.

I asked because I have not seen a thread with that question. But, my apologies if they bother here to.
In my case, and where I work, it has never bothered me that they ask me the same thing, because I like to help people.
Thanks!
As far as I now, S9 and S9+ snapdragon versions are still not rooted.
There is at least 1 guy searching for root but so far, no progress.
So, maybe s845 Note 9 will get root someday but don't have high hopes about that and if root really matter to you, I will advise you to buy another phone.
I strongly advise buying the exynos version now, or buying another device if updates and such will be a big deal. I had the same concerns, this is my first unrooted Android device I am considering purchasing, and I have to make the decision based on what is most probable, root not being an option. Otherwise, you'll be pissed the entire time you have the device that you let yourself fall into the hope trap.

I will wait few months, as it happened with note 8, that a root for the snapdragon came out, if the root does not come out with note 9 snapdragon, I follow your advice and buy the version with Exynos. Thanks! ?
I do not know, but with so much developer here in XDA and other forums; there must be some way to unlock the bootloader. Or is have to pay for it, or beg of carrier companies??

I asked the OP of that thread a month ago and he confirmed that that root method can not be done on the S9, S9+ or NOTE9, which means that the device will most likely never be rooted, unless Samsung suddenly, randomly, allows for the bootloader to be unlocked.
I upgraded to the Snapdragon Note9 anyway though myself. I found that I didn't really miss root all that much on my Note8 and didn't want my battery on my new phone to only charge to 80% by using SamFAIL, so I just got the non-carrier branded one this time to cut down on some of the bloat. I could've went Exynos, but in the past I'd mainly only used root to put other roms on the device and maybe clear out some space, but the Note9 comes with 128gb internal minimum with the potential of an up to 512gb sd card, which is plenty of space for me to just disable a few apps. Most of the roms too most often didn't have the air command features for the spen(or most of the other functionality that Samsung devices are supposed to have) and the pen is why I buy the Notes in the first place. The ones that did try and incorporate those features(including the Touchwiz roms) always still had other problems too, so I most often found myself going back to stock anyway.
Frankly, it's just been nice having a device where Samsung Pay and everything else just works. I've had the unrootable Snapdragon Note9 for a month now and I love it. It has tons of features that the Note8 didn't have, like an spen that works as a wireless bluetooth remote for your camera, music and other apps, as well as more space, a better battery and more. That's just my take though.

Not so much bothered by questions (even if they have been asked 100 times over like this one lol) more so people refuse to use the search function.
If you had of done so you wouldn't have needed to even ask.
Dont be afraid to try and help yourself sometimes, its not that painful.
But yeah as the guys said....never going to happen
I took the advice of several users of the forum, I bought the note version exynos. And I did not break the my Head, Waiting for someone to get Root the Note 9 USA Version
The other note 9 I want to sell it by ebay or by Swppa.

The USA version is never going to see root.
I didn't understand what you said about the exynos other than your selling it? Why?

Carrier companies do not have control over bootloader locks. I have tried going through them in the past about this and they have no clue what you are talking about unless you get lucky and get a person that knows about root and even if that does happen they can't and won't help you with it. It has to be done by manufacturers.

Have you considered the N9600, international version? It has the SD845 processor (like the U and U1) and root/TWRP are already available. Knox gets tripped, of course, but that only negates Samsung Pay and a couple others.
Just having a little trouble locating units for sale (at good prices) here on mainland US.
Forgetting N960U and N960U1! I bought N960N!! And my problem resolved! Finally I got root!! ?

Just to figure out my info on versions is correct... I thought N9600 (with Snapdragon) is the Hong Kong version (i.e. not "international" or "global"), and N960F (with Exynos) is for "global"/europe (although it seems to have different band lists for UK). (I'm not considering rootability etc., just the target market / naming.)

So the 960F model has different radio / bands for UK market compared to the 960F sold in mainland Europe? I doubt it.

Personally, I have no idea. I read it on this page: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
I found another list (much shorter one) that does not have separate entry for UK. Maybe the longer list simply lists bands that are active in the region (e.g. if there are bands in use in UK that aren't used elsewhere in europe even if the phone would support them).
Not relevant to this topic (rooting U/U1), though, I just noted it for the peculiarity of seeing that difference for the same model code.

Personally how I verify bands used it to go to samsungs website for that country to check specs for a particular model number.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to get some advice before i buy an s10.
I have played with an s9 with pie, i don't care for the samsung gui and built in apps. if i buy an unlocked s10 how long does it usually take to flash with roms?
Also is there usually a stock android rom?
should i get the s10 with a snapdragon or Exynos?
Thanks for any and all help.
You can use any launcher to bypass the UI and on the unlocked there aren't that many more pre-installed apps. The US Snapdragon won't give you any options for another rom.

The Snapdragon will not be rootable unless it's the Hong Kong variant. I recommend stick with the Exynos variant if you care about root at all.

Not true, Latin American and Japan Snapdragon variants are also bootloader unlocked.
Looking to update my locked S8+ to the Note9. I use ATT and will be planning on purchasing a North America model. However, since this is a GSM provider that I will be using it with, I'm trying to find the best model to allow root and various tweaks along with changing roms.
I've taken a good look at this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/note9-model-compatible-t3934795 but unable to make a clear decision before buying.
Any advice before purchase?
Go with the Exynos not and not snapdragon
