Hello guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G930F) - ARM64x which is Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
I flashed the correct Xposed Framework following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Once I flashed, I could not boot my phone at all. It is stuck at the Android Logo when it starts up with a red error at the top stating: "kernel is not seandroid enforcing".
I can enter TWRP (Recovery) and I can enter the Downloading-Mode.
The huge issue is that I do not have the Uninstaller Zip in my storage anywhere (I did not know that I would need it in case something like this would happen).
I tried entering the Downloading-Mode to download the Uninstaller into my storage, but I could not even do that since the storage does not even show up at all, as if I have the USB Debugging off (it was not off, but I suppose it is off now).
I suppose I can use Odin. But I tried flashing TWRP again, nothing changed. I do not have a Stock ROM/Firmware, so I downloaded one and tried flashing it. It did not work.
I tried going to the Recovery to Wipe everything and such, and it still did not work.
What am I to do?
Please help me out!
Dozens of thanks!
So I tried to mod my phone (with this, if you're interested https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...creen-t3759567) but I did something stupid. I thought TWRP was working properly but I'd installed Oreo and didn't wipe data. Well I installed the zip anyway. At the end, an error showed up (could not mount /data or something similar) and my phone will now not boot.
If I try to boot the phone, it just vibrates and stays black. Volume Down + Power + Bixby gets the phone out of this state and the charging screen shows again. I can't boot into TWRP at all. I can boot into download mode but Odin keeps failing when I try to reflash the XEF Oreo firmware (screenshot is in the attachment, it says passed but doesn't attempt to flash the files). I managed to flash TWRP which worked but since I can't boot into it it didn't help. Anthing else I can flash with Odin, or can anybody tell me what's going on / if it's unrecoverable? (I've tried a couple of different versions, they all exhibit the same behaviour)

There is a newer version of odin, are you using that? You will need that to flash Oreo. Can get it in the link below. Odin v3.13.1

Doh! Had it already, was the only one I didn't try. It's flashing now. Many thanks

If you boot into TWRP you can access the file system from a PC.
Ok tq
Hi just want to add another alternative. You can also do "adb sideload" to push and flash the uninstall file from your PC to your device. Cheers!
Hi, I've recently bought a Samsung Note 9, secondhand, yet still new condition. Courier dropped the delivery and I was impressed with what I received, unboxing through to switching it on. Awesome display, features, speed, etc.. unfortunately, it didn't last long. Went through the initial setup, google acc, personal preferences, up to the point where security features needed to be activated. As I wanted to enroll fingerprints, it asked for passkey before biometrics could be recorded. I entered a 5 digit code, again to confirm, and then it was set. Then the trouble started. Phone locked by pressing the power button then refused to unlock with the passcode that I've just saved. After a while of trying to enter the key I've used, as well as some alternative combinations for in case I've made a mistake (twice?), I've resorted to boot into recovery mode by switching off the device and pressing bixby+vol up+pwr. Booted into recovery, chose factory reset and let it run.
It finished in less than a second, before I chose to reboot device. Only to see the screen stay dark with red words top left corner of screen: Only official firmware to be installed something something. And that's what I kept on getting, did abovementioned step again, same issue, tried formatting cache, same issue, tried lacking storage boot, same issue, tried flashing custom rom via Odin, same issue, tried to find official firmware and installed that same issue. I've noticed that none of the packages I try to install works due to an error stating that Signature Verification Failed. Every time, whether I try sideloading via adb, updating via sdcard or flashing with Odin, I get the same result. Last try was flashing the bootloader with an recovery zip I found somewhere and now it just bootloops the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 startup screen, vibrates, restarts and same screen again. Even if I let it loop, it keeps on forever. I can still access bootloader, recovery and Download mode with pressing the button combinations, but nothing I try of the options available resolves the problem.
I'm really at a point where I don't know what to do or try, please advise. Here's some additional info that might help:
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F Crownlte.
Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
samsung/crownltexx/crownlte9/PPR1.180610.011/N960FXXU3CSI3
After a few of my flashing attempts, abovementioned line now reads:
Block-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
samsung/crownltexx/crownlte9/PPR1.180610.011/N960FXXU3CSF9
Its the Exynos version of the Note 9. Any direction or help will be much appreciated.
Thanx

1. Install official stock rom from sammobile from this link (doesn't matter which you download):
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/#SM-N960F
2. Load up Odin, put corresponding files to their slots, AP to AP, BL to BL, etc..
3. Boot into download mode (phone powered off, press and hol volume down + bixby button and insert cable to computer)
4. Flash it, wait for it to boot up.
Ok, I'll try that today and hopefully my next reply will be me posting from the Note. Let's hold thumbs.
Thanx
How did you solve the problem.. Same here.. Stuck at bootloop

try this
Plug your phone to pc
Hold power button + volume down for a few seconds
Then right before the phone logo shows, bixby + volume down
Now download mode shows. Flash stock rom
After months of deliberation I finally decided to root my Note 9. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and it seems to have gone horribly wrong. To root the phone, I followed the guide in the video titled 'How to Root Galaxy Note 9! [EASIEST METHOD]' on youtube which has an instruction link in the description. As a new user here, the forum doesn't allow me to post links yet, so please just type the title on youtube and it'll come up as the first result.
What I did was:
- unlocking bootloader
- Flash AP file with TWRP version 3.4.0
- Wipe data
- Since I was worried about using a software from an unknown source, I then flashed the official magisk v20.4 instead of the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file recommended in the video.
After doing so, the note 9 restarted and showed the error message "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.". I allowed the phone to reset.
Following this, the phone restarted and showed exactly the same message of 'verification failed' and no amount of going through the rebooting process resolved the issue. I googled the issue and was advised to flash the phone with Odin by going into download mode. I then tried to go into download mode, but the phone will simply not go into it and tries to restart the normal way. I also tried to connect to my laptop to see if I can flash with odin but the phone was not recognised at all by the computer.
I then tried to reboot using the twrp key combo and this worked. I then decided to try flashing with the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file in the tutorial. Yet, this led to the same issue as with the official magisk file.
Looking at some rooting tutorials, I see that some of them recommend flashing CSC, AP, BL and CP instead of just the AP in the tutorial I followed. I then thought that perhaps the issue is I need to install a ROM on the device. I therefore tried to load the lineage 17.1 ROM in the micro SD card and installed it (top left option on twrp 'install') as well as the magisk and disable_dm_verify_forceencrypt zip files.
In hindsight, this was a stupid move from me - I did so I was in full panic mode at that point and desperate for a solution.
After doing so, the phone rebooted and showed a booting animation of a single blue curved line stuck with a circle rolling from right to left on it.
I left it for a while, hoping that it meant the new ROM was booting. 30 min later it was still stuck on the animation!
I then tried to reboot the phone. Pressing power button did nothing. I then tried different combinations and eventually power + volume up + bixby allowed it to restart in TWRP mode.
As of now, the phone is still in TWRP mode. The phone is still not recognised by my laptop and will not enter download mode if I press volume down + bixby when restarting.
I am fully aware that I've screwed up the rooting process and feel awful about it. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and I really hope it is only a 'soft brick' and that my phone can be saved. I would really appreciate if anyone here could advise what I can do to complete the root process correctly from here?
Many thanks,
Sam
Is there a "download" or "bootloader" option when you press the reboot button in TWRP? My Note9 is on stock, so I'm not 100% certain myself. However if there is, that should take you to Samsung's download screen. This way you can send yourself back to stock if you give up on rooting your device.
BTW, I do recommend following a note9 rooting guide on XDA (it's not too hard to find) over a youtube video, since YouTube videos can often be out of date or a little sketchy.
