Can I root my Note 9 withouth a pc? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
I think the charging port of my Note 9 is a little bit damaged, because I have tried multiple pc's and multiple cables and the phone will only charge and is not being recognized as a device on my pc's.
I would like to flash TWRP on my device to flash a custom rom after... But the official TWRP app in the Google Play Store is not showing an TWRP image for the Note 9 to flash.
Is there a possibility to get TWRP and eventually a custom rom on my device, withouth using a PC?
Any help would be appreciated!

no.
u cant use a an app that would theoretically need root to accomplish flashing a ccustom recovery on a non rooted phone.
regardless, u need Odin or heimdall or any app that can access the device via usb. search and read.
( u need samsung android usb drivers on the computer. )

Thank you for your reply.
I have used Odin a lot before for different phones. I've installed the correct drivers onto my pc's and used different kinds of cables to check if that was the problem, but the phone only goes into charging mode, when connected to a pc. I have read that a buggy charging port can actually cause that problem.
I think I do not need root to flash a custom rom. Flashing a custom recovery would be enough, I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. There is a mobile version of TWRP (the app) that could actually flash TWRP on a phone via the app. But the problem is that the TWRP app doesn't support the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
I'm trying to figure out if there is another way to flash a custom rom onto my phone. But I need a custom recovery for that...

im saying that ud need root if the twrp app could flash roms within android. which implies ud have gone through the rooting process which has to flash twrp. plus i think the twrp app is just a downloader more than anything else.
anyways can you get to dl mode?
put phone off , hold bixby and vol down and while holding down the 2 buttons plug the cable from the computer
phone should go to dl mode

Yes, I can get into the download mode without any problems. But connecting the phone to a pc only charges the phone and I can not get any other option. I even tried to press the notification in the statusbar where it displays that the phone is charging (connected to the computer). But there are no other options than charging unfortunatelly..

in dl mode does Odin see a com port?
also maybe there is just alot of pocket lint in the back if the port. scrape it out with a very small needle or something.

To rule out the charging port, grab the OTG USB adapter that came with the phone and see if you can get a flashdrive to show up in the phone.if you can't, the it's for sure the charging port .

There are no dumb questions I have tried to put it into file transfer mode, but the option isn't available when pressing the notification in de statusbar. It only shows that the phone is charging and the phone goes to the battery settings when pressing the notification.
Also, I've checked in developer settings, and I set the USB configuration to standard: File transfer.

[Q] I am stuck in infinite boot, please help.

I was running on cognition and I decided to apply a speed kernal. I did, but I was not aware that it wasn't compatible with froyo. Now my phone shows the AT&T thing, says some weird techno voice thing, then restarts the process. I have tried holding volume up and volume down and power in order to get to recovery menu and it doesn't work. I have tried syncing with my computer, but it wasn't set on debugging beforehand so odin does not recognize it. I have tried everything I can think of yet to no avail.(spelling?) I really like my captivate and I could not bear to part from it. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried using ADB to get into download mode. The only way to fix this will be to reflash stock and start over. You could also use Odin one click to flash back to stock as I dont thing debugging needs to be on for the download mode to work

Do not panic, did you pull the battery when the voices were going, that was voodoo installing and is normal.

I did pull the battery during that time. I tried using Odin, but it doesn't recognize my phone. I think it is something I am doing wrong however.
The voices were normal.
List what you are doing to try to use odin. Need to know what your doing to identify a mistake.

I have tried getting into recovery again, but it goes through the cycle no matter what.
First: I downloaded the USB drivers from the Samsung Website and installed them.
Second: I downloaded Odin once click
Third: I take the battery out of my phone along with the sim card and micro SD card. Then I replace the battery
Fourth: Open Odin and plug in the USB sync cord
Fifth: I hold down the volume up and volume down buttons on the phone an insert the USB sync cord.
Sixth: A droid is pictured sweeping inside of a yellow triangle.
Seventh: I wait
Then after that, Odin doesn't recognize the phone.
Are you using the original cord that came with phone? Are you using a desktop or laptop? have you tried different usb ports? Have you tried the drivers on the odin thread?

I got it off ebay and it did not come with a cord. I bought one off ebay that claimed to be OEM. I am using a laptop. I will try different USB ports but I dont think that is the problem. My computer recognizes the phone, just not Odin. I will try the drivers on the thread.

Help! Odin not seeing phone!?

Ive got my phone into a boot loop state because I messed up when trying to restore a previous backup of CM7 that I had.
Okay I thought, this is not a problem I will just do a clean flash of something via odin with my phone in download mode. This is where the problem lays. Odin can not see my phone when its in download mode and plugged in via USB! I have flash roms via Odin before so know what I'm doing.
I've tried it on 2 windows 7 64bit laptops and different USB ports but both are the same! could this be a driver issue? I have Kies installed on both and have manually tried installing the driver too.
Other things to note is that I can't get into recovery mode but no problem getting into download. Also when I plug the phone into charge it doesnt come up with the battery symbol but only the circle of rectangles like it is loading the battery symbol which never appears.
Anyone know what is going on?
Sorry for bad english.
I had problem like yours - pc don't recognized my phone (odin too) and shows only battery charge. i tried on 3 different pc's, installed kies, pc studio, drv, tried 2 differnt cables.
And the problem was... Cables

If you are CM7, you may need Nexus S Drivers.
See this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946&page=879
Download and extract to folder.
When phone connected, locate it in your computers devive manager and update driver and point to your folder where you extracted for installation.
Thanks spaikas!
I guess I will have to go out and buy a new cable to try that. One thing though is that even when I plug it into the mains power adaptor I still get the circle of rectangles as well as when its plugged into my PC (with the supposedly defective cable). So does this suggest that the circle of rectangles is not caused by a bad cable? but still my cable being bad could be a culprit for odin not seeing it.

No, actually enable USB debugging and go into CWM recovery and connect, mine was showing as Samsung Galalxy S or Android phone. Check in USB devices as well.

It was my cable! Sorry for wasting your time guys but it was just a very unlucky coincidence that my cable must of broke at the same time that I messed up my phone and needed to do a odin flash! Anyway managed to get my hands on another cable and now odin can see my phone!

[Q] [q] USB BRICK - Devs PLZ HELP!!!

I have a USB BRICK and wishing that someone could help me fix it
[STORY]
My phone was working perfectly until a few days ago when I noticed that USB connection to PC stopped working. I was running imilkas CM9 v2. USB used to work perfectly and then randomly, it just stopped working, I don't have a clue what caused it because I did not flash anything on the phone.
When I connect my Phone to the Computer via USB cable, my phone start charging and nothing else happens. My computer does not even show that I connected a USB device.
I've tried 3 other computers with the drivers and the same issue (1 comp with xp and the others with win 7). Also, not to mention, I've tried multiple USB cables, including the original. I've tried USB Debugging on and off, doesn't make a difference.
I've tried ADB and it does not recognize the device either.
In CWM when I mount USB storage, it does not work.
In download mode, when I plug in the cable, nothing happens, odin does not detect any connection.
USB connection to the computer is Dead and it does nothing but charge my phone. I've searched this issue and I believe its called a USB BRICK
[THINGS I'VE TRIED THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE]
1. Factory Reset.
2. Used Mobile Odin, reverted to my Phone's Stock GB ROM (KK2). On stock GB, I tried Kies Air and that worked fine, but USB connection had the same issue. Also tried Stock ICS via Mobile Odin
3. Formatted the Internal Storage
4. Removed the SIM Card and Micro SD card, still no luck.
5. re-installed CWM manually (without pc)
6. Tried various different roms in the development section
7. Called Samsung... They said they wont service my phone because I'm located in Canada and I have the International Note. They told me I'd have to take it to the country I bought it from.
8. Replaced the micro USB hardware component inside the phone (bought it from ebay)
9. Tried a Jig to see if it recognizes that and it booted me into download mode but doesn't recognize the USB connection to PC.
I've been struggling with this issue for the past 2 months and have gotten sick of this issue.:crying: I've tried all that was possible based on my knowledge and now I need some serious help. I've posted this issue in the Q&A before and about 3 people responded with suggestions that I had already mentioned in thread. I believe this issue might be caused by a file that has gotten corrupted on the phone because i've even replaced the hardware (usb port) and it didn't change anything. If anyone can offer any help/suggestions that would be great. Sorry for making this such a long post but I really need some help and wanted to give as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I had that same problem before, it's really frustrating having tried so many stuff before finally I gave up and went to service center to replace the usb hardware module, which solves the problem. When I asked them why it happened and how to prevent that same thing to happen again, they didn't answer.

I am well versed in replacing hardware components myself. The usb module I bought from ebay does exactly the same thing as the original one. It too charges but does not recognize PC connectivity which means it wasnt the usb module which was defective, its something else!
I would love to send it in for repair, but Samsung WON'T service my phone because I live in Canada and they do not sell the international Note here. When I called them they told me to take it to where I bought it from (which was in UAE). Since I am not going there and have no plans to go there, I am stuck with a phone that can't be warrantied!
Any one know how to fix this issue?
Maybe what you need is just to replace the usb cable... Who knows? (trying-to-help mode).

Try another set of driver from Samsung.
The set in the file from link below works perfectly for me:

If it does not work then, maybe, try to change rom. Load a custom rom.zip to external sdcard and flash using CWM.

I had the somewhat similar problem, few days back and started a thread.

Ok here is the solution. It worked for me. Hope it helps someone
1. download latest version of kies for PC
2. uninstall previous kies (if any) and install new one.
3. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. (Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.)
4. Plug the USB cable.

I faced a similar problem a few days ago. Here's what I did :
Try cleaning micro usb port by rubbing alcohol using paper strips. They should be thin enough so that you can clean both top and bottom part of the port.Then let it dry under the sun or by itself.Make sure that you don't blow any air into the port else condensation may occur.
By the way, is it monsoon season there in Canada ?

Almost same situation here from the highlighted above. when I plug my charger in the usb it just charge the phone and PC cannot detect it. Also, it only charge the phone when i reboot it. If I unplug the charger while the phone is on, and plug the charger back, it will not charge. However, when I insert the usb cable in my phone, there is a notification in my phone which says "usb connector connected" but the PC cannot detect my phone for mass storage, as well as for Kies and Odin.
My usb port was already replaced by Samsung but same problem still occurs. It could be a software/configuration related issue. Or could it be a usb brick? Pls help.
have you tried to put the phone in download mode and checked if odin is able to detect the phone.. what rom are you on.. have you tried to flash a stock rom ?

Usb debug doesnt matter. Download mode works either way. If you cant boot normal to activate it, you can still flash new fw through Odin.
Open task manager and kill all process with kies and try again.
Sometimes they interfere each other.
i killed 2 process with kies but again nothing happens.
the odin can recognize phone when is turn on but if is in download mode the odin cannot recognize phone.
Or exit any Anti–virus software you may have as well.

How should this matter at all? What are fake usb cables? USB 1.0 to 2.0 has the same standard - a set of to wires that hast to handle 5V+ (and max 1.8A with dedicated chargers, if you use USB 2.0 and especially MicroUSB-B slot on the 2nd side) and ground, and 2 wires for data (+ Data and - Data). Micro-USB has another 5th wire to check, if host or slave connection method is used. Technically all USB cables are interchangable.

Yes, in theory they're all the same but they do come in different qualities and it's a well known fact that changing usb-cable can be the differens for a successful flash.

In that case I had the luck to use only good cables, I never had any problem besides cases, where the cable was broken, so the contacts were not always closed. But this was a problem with normal USB connection, too, so I got rid of it anyway.
U think so but its has diff quality so u need to use original cables use and see what I really mean

[Q] i8190n USB only charges

Hello!
I did a root with odin on my device many time ago, it was successfull. But after that, when I plug the USB in the computer, it only charges. It wasn't important for me, because my device was rooted.
But nowadays I tried to update to 4.4.2 from 4.1.2, so I thought that if I wipe cache and data the USB will work again... but no, so I thought: "maybe if I unroot...", and now I have a gt-i8190n without root and with an USB that only charges.
I tried to update from SD, but the result is: "signature verification failed".
I can get in download mode, but my computer doesn't recognize the device (tried in other computers, and with other cables).
So, here is my question: Will a JIG USB solve anything?
Thanks

yes, i did it.
How can I disable signature verification? my recovery is a 3e WITHOUT modify. And remember, no root and no USB connection (nobody said was going to be easy).
PD: English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes, I'm spaniard.

world cup not looking good

I've tried many files (I can take the microSD and load files in the computer). But when I start the recovery mode and select external storage, it seems to work, until it arrives to that signature message.
Yes, my i8190n is working as good as Spain in the world cup.

I think you need to install the USB drivers for your s3 mini.
If you use TWRP as recovery then boot to recovery > settings > uncheck "Zip signature verification" then you will not again get a failed message.
Do a nandroid backup before you start flashing

The drivers are correctly installed, because the first time I rooted I had no problem, and after it, I have plugged another device (an i8190n, too) and the computer recognizes it without any problem.
I have a 3e recovery, so I can't uncheck "Zip signature verification".
May I start to look for a jig USB?

No wonder why it fails 3e recovery is the stock recovery from s3 mini. You can only flash signed zip from Samsung. You need a custom recovery for flashing custom ROMs if you still have root access then download from play store "ROM Manager" and install CWM recovery or download "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool" for flash CWM or TWRP recovery.

I'm so clever that I unroot the device hoping the USB works :silly:
Can I flash a signed zip from Samsung from the SD and pray for the USB works normally again?

Put the phone in download mode and flash twrp in odin. It's the only way to put a new recovery there without root already.
Otherwise root it, and then flash recovery with rommanager or other similar app.

As I have mentioned before, my device USB only charges, there isn't communication with computer. I know how odin works, but the problem is with the USB.
I'm asking if JIG USB is the only solution, and if it will work.
Thanks for all the answers, but as I had said before... USB only charges :crying:

I'm not sure if it will work, but it's the last thing to try.
I have made an order of the jig USB, and it is supposed to arrive in 20 days (less than 2$ and free shipping). Until then, must wait... I'll will tell you if it works or not.
Thanks!

Even when you put your phone in download mode and then connect the cable?
If so, same thing will probably happen with a USB jig. They are only to force the phone to DL mode. You still have to connect it after that..
How can you tell that it charges in download mode? There is no icons for that.

Yes, when I connect the cable Odin doesn't recognize it, so I supose that only charges (it's true, perhaps it doesn't do it, there isn't any icon). It's supposed when I conncet the phone to the computer, it should pop up the "new storage" (with Odin closed), but it doesn't, only charges.
I want try USB jig, because I have read that it will put the counter to 0 (hoping is this the problem)

Counter is not set to 0 with usb jig on this device. We use triangle away for that.
If you got Kies installed, then uninstall it and install samsung drivers only.
See if there's dust in the phones usb. Take some thin plastic, but be gentle.
Just a few ideas but you've probably tried it all.

It's what I supposed, but it's a way to try if USB connection works (not 100% but if it doesn't work I will know it's a hardware problem)
I've tried uninstall Kies and install samsung drivers, I've cleaned the dust in the usb, but I don't understand what I have to do with the plastic, is the same plastic to keep food fresh? must put it on the usb?
not working yet
my USB JIG has arrived and I have tried it... and still doesn't work. Yes, it starts the download mode, but when I plug the USB to try something, the computer (ODIN) doesn't do anything. I have tried with my wife's phone and it works, it's a i 8190n, too.
I'm not going to try anything more, YOU WIN THIS TIME i8190n!
Hi, I have the same problem with my GT-8190, but it happens after my phone drop onto water..
charging is work, but it say "USB device Not Recognized" when I try to connect with PC..
now i want back to stock rom, but I can't do it if my phone not recognized to PC.
Do you have an idea how to flash official stock rom without PC(Odin)?
Sorry for my English
