Saeed Ashif Ahmed by Saeed Ashif Ahmed

There was no doubt about it, but now we can confirm that both TWRP Custom Recovery and root access are available for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

Root Galaxy S9

However, your device model may matter because TWRP is not officially available for all the variant and without TWRP, it’s not possible to get root access in Galaxy S9 and S9+ at this moment.

To gain root access on your Galaxy S9 or S9+ you need to install TWRP Recovery on your device. Follow this guide, if you haven’t installed it before:

  • Install TWRP [latest] on Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ Custom Recovery

There could be some other option like CF Auto Root or patch image file that could root your Galaxy S9/S9+ using Odin, but flashing SuperSU with TWRP is bit easy and fast way to root a device.

If you have successfully installed TWRP on your device, follow the tutorial below to Root Galaxy S9/S9+ using SuperSU package.

Backup your Android Device

We don’t want you to lose any data, or anything could go wrong unexpectedly. Before starting the tutorial, we strongly recommend you to make a full backup of your phone. If possible, take a full Nandroid Backup via TWRP, or you can try out some of the Hand-Picked Android Backup Apps to secure your data quickly.

Samsung users can use Samsung Smart Switch to backup data on the computer. Smart Switch even allows the users to move data from one device to another of different variant (like moving data of Galaxy S7 to Galaxy S8).

Points to Remember

    1. Make sure your phone has at least 80 – 85% charge. If not, please do charge it before starting the experiment.
    1. Make sure your device has TWRP Custom Recovery installed from before. Otherwise, this tutorial will not work!
    1. You need to perform a Dalvik Cache wipe in recovery mode before/after flashing SuperSU package.
  1. You need to enable USB Debugging mode to connect your Android phone to computer. (Settings > About Phone > Build number > Tap it 7 times to become developer; Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging).

HOW TO: Root Galaxy S9/S9+

We have mentioned full step-by-step instructions on How to Root Galaxy S9/S9+. If you are entirely new to rooting, flashing a Custom ROM or an Official Firmware, please read the entire tutorial once before actually performing it on your device.

TUTORIAL: (Step by Step Guide)

Step 1: Download Nemesis Kernel and SuperSU SR5 for Galaxy S9/S9+ on your computer.

Step 2: Now, connect the device to your PC using USB Cable.

Step 3: Copy and paste the downloaded zip file to the internal storage of your phone.

Step 4: Switch Off your phone and disconnect the cable.

Step 5: Press and HOLD [Volume Up] + [Bixby] +[Power] buttons together, and wait for 15 seconds (approx.) to enter into the recovery mode!

TWRP

Step 6: Once you are in the TWRP recovery mode, tap on “Install” button. From the list, choose the Nemesis kernel zip file that you have copied in Step 3.

Step 7: Confirm the installation by swiping the “Swipe to Confirm Flash” option on the next screen.

Step 8: Now, tap on the “Wipe cache/dalvik” button to clean the ROM and stay away from any boot loop issues.

SuperSU: Repeat the above step (Step 6 to Step 8) for the SuperSU zip file as well and install it on your phone.

Step 9: Hit on “Reboot System” button!

Wait a while, and your phone may take up to 10 minutes to boot for the first time.

Hurray! Your Galaxy S9/S9+ is now successfully rooted.

    How are you, my friend ❤ Please help me!
    Is this for Galaxy S9+ running Android 8.0.0 Oreo?

    What is the ROM on which root works?

    Note: There are no developer options (OEM Unlock)

    With there being no way to unlock the bootloader, I’m a bit apprehensive about attempting root on S9 Plus Snapdragon variant. I don’t believe you can apply custom ROMs unless bootloader is unlocked. Granted, the rooting method available will allow for bloatware to be removed, but will I be able to actually change deep settings on my device?

      We need somebody to create a bootloader unlock tool for the Snapdragon variants.

    Question on your S9 root instructions. You don’t mention anything about OEM unlock on being enable. Do you need it to root?

    Don’t say all variants if it ain’t all variants!

      It’s clearly mentioned in the article as well as in the topic, that the tutorial is for all Exynos editions.
