Overall, it is not an exaggeration to call the Galaxy Note 9 a beast. As soon as many users get their hands on these phones, they will no doubt root them and install a custom TWRP recovery. While these devices are pre-installed with high tech hardware, majority of Samsung users will still root the phone and wipe the custom recovery and the custom ROM as well.

Rooting your Samsung device will change the official system settings to custom settings. The custom status will keep showing up in the bootloader of your smartphone. Whenever you boot your Galaxy Note 9 into download mode, you will see the custom status.
