How to Root Samsung Galaxy A9 ( A9000 )

I bought my Galaxy A9 in China ( I work here ) and as you may know Google apps are not already installed on Chinese phones and I need to root and flash Google Apps.
The problem is as this phone is too new, I can't find any ways to root it. I tried Kingroot, Framaroot....but all fail. I have unlocked phone via CROM. Any idea how I can root this beast?

Try to flash with A9 Hongkong Rom

Try Root Unlocker Pro .. Search In Google and You May Find It

Wait for CF Auto-Root to support your phone. SM-A9000?
Sent from my GT-I9500

Anyone heard anymore?

Don't brick your phone while still too new. As KrasCGQ said wait for proper root exploits to be released for the Galaxy A9. I live in Kenya and the A9 hasn't hit our markets yet. I soooo envious to get the A9 more any other device this year....it might not be perfect, but I think it's rock solid for power users, 6' inch 4000mAh is just right! How I hope and pray that we get a dedicated Dev's for the Galaxy A9, it will make the device absolutely AWESOME!!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

If you just want get google apps back, just flush HongKong version firmware, I'd just done my own. The latest firmware from HK is 'A9000ZCU1APB3'. BTW, you should get the HK version's PIT files and flush it first, then again the single .tmd firmware file flush with pc odin.

Can you please share HK pit file with me? Thank you!

Due to the still missing possibility to have root access to Samsung A9 I am confronted with a different problem. I switched to the A9 because I broke my other phone. I have no access anymore to my old phone but I still have very up to date backups available on my SD-card ... All my backups I made with Titanium Backup. In order to restore them on my new A9 I unfortunately need root access ...
Does anyone have another idea how to restore my backups without root access or do I really have to wait until someone finds a possibility to gain root access ...

Changing CSC

Hi I currently have a EGY CSC A51 but I live in UK. It doesn't have Samsung pay so I want to change it to UK. Do I just have to download the firmware from sammobile and flash it with odin once the June update for UK is released (Egypt already has it) or is there a different method?
Also will there be any problems since mine is the 6gb ram variant and I'm not sure if the UK sells 6gb ram versions only 4gb. But the model number is the same a515f.

step by step
- A515F OJM and A515F OXM have same pit file and userdata file is at the end of partition so you won't loose memory size

A515F OJM CSC ( EGY) :
A515F OXM CSC (BTU):
so :
1-save all your data
2-download A515F OXM firmware from here ( or another forum )
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A515F/BTU/A515FXXU3BTF4
3-install it with ODIN ( AP + BL + CP + CSC_OMC_OXM_A515FOXM3BTF4_CL18770262_QB31913704_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
4-as CSC by default is SER , change active CSC to BTU with this méthod :

Hi i flashed the BTU firmware from sammobile and as you stated the csc did change to SER.
I sent you a pm for the apk link
Thank you for your help so far

Hello,
On Samsung Galaxy A51, Google Chrome (including other chrome based browsers such as brave) and Google Drive are able to download files to internal storage even when I have denied storage permission to both the apps. Has anyone noticed this? This is a big privacy concern for me as anything can be downloaded to my phone without my permission. Do we have any solution to deny chrome and drive from accessing my internal storage?

I ALWAYS disable Chrome and use Firefox as my default browser. Just go into your Settings/Apps and make sure you show all apps. Scroll down to Chrome, long click on it, remove the cache and disable it.

I have done the same thing as of now. Using Samsung internet which is working as expected. Tried DuckDuckGo as well which is working fine.
Only Chrome and Brave seems to have this issue. How is this possible? All my bookmarks are on Google Chrome. So it is tough to use another browser. But until Chrome is able to access my storage without permission it will stay disabled. How are they able to download without storage permission? Even Google Drive is able to download files without permission. Do we have any solution to this?

I am noticing that you do not have any USA based CSC. Are you un able to get them? I am currently having trouble with my phone not working here. (it's CSC is TPA)

@NewUser16683
TPA is part of OWO multi CSC
edit:
if your device is A515F , you can only flash a A515F firmware ( OJM OLM OXM OWA OWB OWE or OWO )
and not A515U; A515U1 or A515W firmware
