Why can't I root my phone?

I have a Samsung galaxy s9, and for some good reason, I cannot root, because it always failed to do so.

What specific device model number and firmware build version do you have?

You may have to unlock the bootloader of your phone to be allowed to root it. I had to do this too (Honor 7x). I'd advise to watch a tutorial on youtube

How To Unlock Bootloader of Galaxy S9/S9+ (SM-G9600/SM-G9650) Snapdragon

Step 1: Enable Developer Options

• Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information.
  
• Locate the Build Number option and tap it 5-7 times quickly to enable the Developer Options.
  

Step 2: Enable OEM Unlock

• Open the newly-added Developer Options from the Main Settings page (usually down at the bottom.)
  
• Toggle/enable the OEM Unlock option.
  

Step 3: Run CROM application

• Download and install the Samsung-developed CROM app from here or the Galaxy Apps Store
  
• Open CROM applicatioon
  
• Drag the Slider to unlock the Bootloader
  
• Wait until it finishes unlocking.
  

Apparently it's more likely to work if you remove your Samsung Account info from the device before doing step 3.

Good luck.
