Good morning Dr. Ketan,

I have flashed the latest Q version for my country, then i started with your android Q, and then i flashed always the all RB version exactly your instructions. In RB1 all work fine in RB2 after a clean flash with format data it work all, only when i actived- the firewall and applock it came to a bootloop, in RB3 when i actived volume mod, or i/o, ram tweak, it hang on the samsung screen, after factory reset and new install tweak pro , too.

The samsung calendar work at me fine with davDroid and so on no bootloop, no hang at samsung screen, Ar Bloatware i don't test. May be a option in aroma for samsung calendar in next releases :)

Thanks for answer,

is there a options to fast restore my settings and apps with settings? With Titanium Backup? ?

Becouse it very much work to settings up the phone 8, 9 hour after full wipe?

and in Titanium Backup it force close if media or mediascan (don't know what exact ) is select.

when time i do full wipe

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Routinely I don't suggest format data but when you have such weird issue then I prefer to go it once.

I have tested almost all mods on TweaksPro before release and didn't have bootloop. No need to flash stock, just format data is fine. Even you can skip installing RB3

Format data

If you don't have Root (likely you won't) then flash magisk 21.0

Or alternatively follow my reply on previous post (which will be better in my point of view) also check md5 of rom from device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] chaobuoisang:
Yes, thanks Dr
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:

I can do what i want, i again format data, make factory reset, install all new, and its same, i active sound mode and phone hang on Samsung Boot Screen. :(, dont get it to work

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Tell me which exact option you have selected in sound mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
HI,

I test both options, one time i full wipe test mild, other wipe i test moderate, next full wipe i test i/o tweaks, always only one Option then reboot and it hang on Samsung screen, lte instead 4g worked.

I flash All New with Odin, your BL, AP, CP, factory restet ,Format data, flash Rb3, test it always the same,

Thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Yes, You are right. Samsung have F* again something. I am able to reproduce and that will be easy for me. I am looking into it. Next version will have it fixed. Kindly don't use it now. Sorry for inconvenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
THANK YOU for look in it,, my brain was rally hot ,because i think on my phone is something wrong and Play since i stand up in the morning.

When look into please in tweaks to, like RAM, i/o, RAM the most is the same with hang on Samsung screen, thy

OK Fail Not on my Phone, then i Set up all my Apps and settings :silly:

Thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
No, none of optimization Tweaks have issue. I have just ran all and rebooted. Also there won't be possibilities to stuck into boot by Tweaks as those Tweaks have no effects on subsequent reboot. That's why there is option to run in on reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi,

So thats was my last test today because i must make the phone run with all app, for work tormorrow and rest of week, and so i will seat here for hour at 2-3 in morning :crying::crying:

At tweaks its same why it is by me and not you or other i dont know, i test it the last time alway with complete fresh install, So i flash BL, AP, CP again,factory resest, fromat data, new flash Rom RB3, ROM TOOL reboots, then Tweak Pro install with activted and reboot, I/O Tweak reboot and stuck,

then again flash all BL,.....,factory reset, format data, install RB3, Rom Tool reboots, Tweak Pro with activate and reboot, Ram Tweak reboot and stuck on Samsung screen why i dont know,

And know when i restore backup from yesterday it boot up all toggles there but it dont accept the pin code why i dont know, so i must reinstall all yet and fast because i must work tomorrow.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Still we are using beta firmware. and Bootloader combo we are using is a complex. So some unexpected bugs are expected but there shouldn't be a consistent bug on specific device. Specifically difficult to handle when I can't reproduce or get informative log. Anyway try again on next version and let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
One question, Do you use magisk safetynet fix? If yes, that could be culprit. Once you use it and try to make any modification in system level, device won't boot/accet pin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi,

Haha, no problem is not your fault, on the contrary, you solve the problems.

It's just annoying for me because I thought it works, it must be my phone and so I wasted the whole day with these problems. And because it didn't matter then I took my time and always flashed it fresh to see what works and what not to tell them to you.

Too bad that my backups don't work, neither the two RB2 or the 3 RB3, it boots up to the pin, I can already see my background and everything, but at the pin input it writes wrong pin, funny, and i tip in the right pin :)

So have a nice evening,

Thanks for your efforts to make a perfect Rom, I hope I could contribute with the tests today or not

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
This is samsung security.

I suggest you to never make backup when lockscreen is protected, even remove samsung account before making backup.

And when backup restore is cross ROM version, it must restore boot+recovery+super.img+data otherwise it won't work.

By the way, are you using safety net fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Okay that with lookscreen pin i dont make again, thats with samsung account i dont know,

yes for other peoble that with bootloader and so on, i have flashed it back with odin for RB2 and back to RB3 with nandroid restore it dont boot up, but maybe it only at my phone so :cyclops::cyclops::D:D:D

thanks

nice day to all

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Safteynet fix i test it only one time on fresh RB3 and phone boot up, and it work, but i only test it one time on my 17flashes today because i dont need this and not on RB2 only RB3,

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
To be honest, SafetyNet fix is really very bad on Beta. It seems I need not to share it. Even once you test and it's effect will remain till you FORMAT DATA (Full wipe) otherwise you will have Pin/bootloop issue. Though it will be not same when stable release out.

Again my humble request to all, kindly don't use SafetyNet fix, and if already applied, don't remove it. If you really want to remove it perfectly, Format data after removing it. And if you want to use it, don't use lockscreen pin/password but instead use AppLock to protect app if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] MrGreenshop:
I use safety net successfully, Google pay work's perfectly. I restarted the device many times. And I used all the needfull fixes and apps successfully. I faced only camera bug witch was fixed. I have pin and fingerprint working properly. I can note that I don't use samsung account, or any other water samsung security measures. From what I saw they mess the things around.

One question tho.. I still have one banking app that doesn't work. I hide it in magisk and everything but still doesn't work. There's any other way that I can trick it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Still exact trigger mechanism unknown but it is fact, this fix isn't proper fix and can cause issue.

You can try hide manager install magisk settings. I have similar with my bank and operator app. Magiskhide doesn't work but hide manager works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] MrGreenshop:
What you mean "hide manager"? Do reffer about the magisk module?...

So far so good with the phone. But the only concern it's that the battery life it's very poor, not with your room, în general .. I would love to hear from other users how it's for them
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Jhfreeze:
You can rename Magisk, I do it too to get Spay on the watch to work. I name it MManager. Its in Magisk settings there's an option to rename the app itself. Battery life for me is not that bad. Seems average, it should get better as we get stable firmware and not Beta releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi,

with! rename magsik and hide all bankapps work, in some case you must clear data and uninstall the bankapp, then rename the magsik manager with the options in magsik and then install the bank app.

Battery is in general bad, this is because so much run in background on original rom so more then 1day it's not makeable. But with this rom and my settings witch app in standby and so, it's pretty good.

And 2 Question, what did the add free mode?

and what edxposed module to install without problems?

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Ad free mode - is same like adaway - keeps ads away

But as you already have Net Protect QS panel toggle, that's serving same purpose but more convenient and on the fly.

EdXposed - you needs to install canary version to work on Android R

BTW, TweaksPro updated, kindly check sound mode if time permits.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi, Dr. Ketan

Okay thats nice to hear so i dont need the Adaway to install, or i can deinstall it,

yeah i will try the sound mode but maby when i back from work because when i get bootloop its silly because i need this phone for daily use.

Have you ever thought about creating a zip file for Twrp to undo changes that caused a bootloop?

When i tested i give feedback

thank you much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
This was exceptional that Tweaks (sound mod) was causing bootloop, and still wonder how I missed it. So there was never happened and never needed it. But in case bootloop happens because of security reason then there is no way, flashable will work. In that case only clean install will work. For example if someone have bootloop because of changing some system part and this happens due to SafetyNet fix, nothing going to work, except full twrp backup/clean install.

So, there is no any roll of flashable zip Indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi, Dr. Ketan

Okay understand, a lot has changed since my S6 edge,

I was testing the sound mode and quickly made a nandroid at work.

Sound mode all two options work without bootloop, thanks.

So if i activate Firewall and Applock now i don't have a bootloop, even if i log in to the GalaxyStore later, i ask because i had a bootloop on the we with these options, no idea why.

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Indeed you don't needs to activate firewall and applock again unless you have flashed full stock rom /restored optic partition. Flashing ROM zip don't erase these features if already activated. So first check if these features not available then only activate it. In case login with Samsung, you have bootloop then also nothing to do with Tweaks but it is just residual of previous mode (? SafetyNet fix) and you need clean install with format data
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
After all the testing and reflashing over the weekend I finally flashed their BL, AP, CP file and my CSC_Home file and then RB3, I think this is a fresh installation or their me here.

Anyway, I can't find any firewall or aplock option in my rom

And in toggle 2 toggles fail and its the same when i tap on force toggles in Tweak pro

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
This the 2toggles, its text always Tweak Pro

thy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Pull it to active panel. Or from Tweaks pro - activate Pro - force activate toggles (then it will become first two toggles)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi

force activate toggles don't work, but

put it to active worked, you so goood man:svetius:

thank you:)

Hi Doc,

I am moving from Note 8 to Note 20 Ultra. Is there anything during installation/rooting of your rom I have to pay attention between the 256GB and the 512GByte Version?

The model number is SM-N986B/DS

The stock rom I downloaded with Frija for preparing the Magix install is

SM-N986B_1_20201020160635_50yci0jrms_fac.zip

And the recovery is from

TWRP_3_4_0_1a19_ianmacd_xXx-Installer_N986B_SGN_20_5G_Ultra.zip

which looks like to be the latest Version which is available.

Patching with the Magix app was working so far, bootloader is unlocked and I am ready to "push the button" but would like to ask about any difference between 256 to 512 GByte Version

I am intending to flash the Android Q 1st and wait till "R" is finaly released

Many thanks & Best regards,

dingolino
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
- Use magisk manager 802 to patch ap else may give error

- No difference for 256/512 variant

- All required files are available in download area for Q and R in respective folders
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
So, samsung is still working to push more with modding. In Android R reboot to recovery will needs to connect to PC (same link you needs in download mode). It's fine you can use adb or ROM having option reboot to recvery then still it work but in case you playing with device and had bootloop and have no access to PC, you can't restore your TWRP backup! :(

by the way, currently it's working on RB1-RB3 is just workaround and going to end soon.

Thank you Sammy!

Hi Doc,

on my Note 8 I was using after installing TWRP

no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip (an earlier Version than 6.1)

Now in the TWRP thread

S20_N20_Encryption_Disabler_V2.zip

is mentioned, but I have not seen - if I am correct - that you mention this in your guidlines???

Is it neccessary or adviceable to disable encryption? (in the past it was)

Best regards,

I made a reboot.

Question: Apply the the reboot while I am in Tweaks Pro, or should I close the app 1st and make than the reboot?

ROM ToolN20:

Mods & Fix

Boot splash red text removed

Before using TweaksPro I applied this tweak and booting up the device is now longer "it waits". Is this nromal? The red warnings are gone but I have now to wait till booting is proceeding. Do I need to press the power button to proceed with booting like it is with the warning page?

Question about Android R

While running Android Q could I use the Modem and bootloader for Android R?

Best regards,

dingolino
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] e30power:
Hi,

Yes its normal, is at me the same :)

have a nice day

the question with the modem and bootloader I can't answer, at me android q don't boot with this loader, but maybe it was a error of my phone, you will see, if your phone not boot with q and r bootloader flash the q bootloader and it starts normal, so it was at me :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] tiho5:
This really sucks!

I hope someone figures out a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
1.Best practice is after installing Tweaks pro - activate Pro and straightway reboot device. If you continue setup without reboot it may mess up some settings. After reboot you can continue setting up further and required to reboot if any specifically mod ask for it else not required.

2.Normal. We can't shorten period, we can just put dummy picture unsteady of those notice still it will continue to boot if you don't press power key

3. I recommend bootloader to be flashed what available with that rom in download area
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dr.ketan:
Workaround laready found and I am using since RB1 but I don't think it will continue for longer time. I doubt there will be patch as it is patched with bootloader and I haven't notice reverse engineering on bootloader, even there, I won't recommend.

We may have to accept it just like we did for download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recove] tiho5:
This is so annoying.

It is as if someone sells me car, which hood can only be opened when the car is in a garage.
