I didn't get actually your question but yes you can delete. Indeed you must delete and reinstall again after updating rom. You don't needs to resent request, simply install and it will be fine. Mail me in case have any queries/issues
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Handymann007:
Have the new soft on it and root via TWRP and then your Rom but now it hooks when starting. After about 5 minutes everything works again without any problems. Can it be because I didn't root through Magnik with the AP?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Really not getting you. Upload screenshot of magisk and setting - about phone - software info

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
SM-S908B/DS (International) 1TB with Snapdragon - does Dr.Ketan ROM work with this model?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RedCriwx:
I followed instructions but the app seems to close itself. S908EXXU2AVEH, rooted with magisk (and Zygisk) and firmware.

In the attached video I tried to run the ROM installer APK twice, and it closes itself.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You needs to have Internet connection to download something, It seems you don't have connected to internet. right?

View attachment 5634861
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] RedCriwx:
Good catch!

Connected to Internet and now works fine. Maybe an error message would be nicer.

In any case, thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrjoy:
HI Dr. I have installed you rom on stock S908EXXU2AVE4 version but got bootloop because there is S908EXXU2AVE4 available in india & I noticed S908EXXU2AVEH version is not from india, So should I h flashed S908EXXU2AVEH?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrjoy:
I'm getting bootloop with this method again & again. Can you tell how i can boot to rom with having twrp?

Root S908B/E/N/0 + TWRP + How to update/Install base firmware

Edit- Now I'm able to boot well. It was my mistake because I was flashing wrong kernel. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
I have found on https://drketanrom.com/samsung-s22ultra:

"We supports S908E (snapdragon) & S908B (Exynos)"

so it means that S908B Snapdragon is not supported.

Pity.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You may have some confusion. S908B is a Exynos NOT Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
I asked the person from whom I am considering buying the Samsung S22 Ultra SM-S908B/DS 12GB/1TB: what processor is inside?

Got the answer: Snapdragon.

So, indeed, now I'm confused.

Do I understand this correctly, that I can't 'dirty update' the base? Do I really always have to do a factory reset when going from one base firmware to the next?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You can. search "dirty" in msg you quoted, it's explained there.

It requires 200MB data to download and time requires depend on your internet speed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
S908E new base S908EXXU2AVF1 released and TWRP+Root files available in S07 download area are working fine on new base too.

Read post #4 for how to update base.

Also S07 working fine on new base (S908EXXU2AVF1).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mh93ed:
😮‍💨😮‍💨The internet in my country, Iraq, is only 1MB during the night

During the day, it does not exceed 300 KB

When is it possible to install it through twrp recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I have no any plan to change installation method as of now. You may look for some other option/ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mh93ed:
Thanks.

is there other rom ?? I'm my device is 908e snapdragon im searched and not found any rom is there anther rom please. Where can I find it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No Idea, here we discuss this ROM only, Kindly look / ask in Question section.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] japanicana83:
Is there a way to pre download the ROM before my s22 ultra arrives? The app just auto closes on my other phone. I was hoping to have everything ready for when my 22 gets here.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No, I don't have any such plan to release such file for post usage. It's just 200 Mb and normal good speed simply takes few minutes only.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
OK, I have a double checked confirmation: S908B/DS is Exynos processor.

@dr.ketan - you were right.

So I'm going to buy this model and then I will go for your ROM and Tweaks PRO.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SLeePLatED:
Model: S908B is Exynos sorry for late reply

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
S08 is Online now

Must read changelog above.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrjoy:
Hello Dr. Thanks for new version. I want to ask about encryption data because after flashing twrp with encrypted data my device getting deleted some images itself every time even with WhatsApp data. I'm fed to find what causing it. Please suggest does new version will fix this issue or should i need to do some other steps. Because I'm losing my important WhatsApp data daily. Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
LOL. Glad I delayed flashing SO7.

Thank you Dr.K
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Just out of curiosity? What exactly you want in this rom or any other?

You can get TWRP without any rom. And magisk modules for several tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
S08 up and running like a boss!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
So I have everything setup correctly on my S908B , everything except google chrome. The playstore and updates work, however google chrome refuses to launch. I tried everything, clearing cache data, resetting google services, applying the google play service fix in tweaks pro. Even removed chrome and put it back with debloating tool. Farthest I could make it was to a screen that said to add my google account to chrome again and it froze couldn't get any farther. Any suggestions or advice? I really don't want to factory reset and do everything over again -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Indeed no fix needed (or available even) to fix launching chrome. ROM doesn't even touch it. Just make sure you haven't used any app disabler/debloated anything. Also connect to the wifi and wait little time to get some chrome related files to update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
no app disablers no debloats, even had play store failing to launch but that's resolved. chrome sadly still refuses to co-operate. I removed my google account (to try and re-apply) to see if that would help and now It won't let me add a new google account, I push button multiple time and screen closes not giving me a login box. I'm going to try factory resetting and starting from the beginning again. If the issues still persist I will update again. Thanks for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Another question just to make sure things are good. When i have the stock firmware rooted, Should I setup the phone with my google account, etc and then flash the rom? I noticed after flashing Rom that you don't get to setup the device (like if it was factory reset) and If i try to factory reset after installing rom the rom goes back to stock. So I'm not sure the best method. I did go back to stock root and had issues with playstore updating chrome specifically. Took some cache and data clears in the playstore and play services to fix. So yea I don't think the rom was the issue. But now that I have everything stable, updated, and working , it should be ok to flash the rom now right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, you can install now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Thanks a bunch. Everything is working great so far except one small thing i noticed on my first install that won't work now after installing again. When I used the disable ad feature in Rom Tool it added a QS toggle in status bar. Now after I setup this time, It says it was enabled but no QS toggle will show anymore. Not super big deal to me just found it strange. Thanks for your great work!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You may see it in inactive panel of QS Toggle,you can bring it to active panel. If I remember correctly, I have added option to force activate QS Toggle in ROM Tool, you can use it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Excellent! I have found it again! totally got confused because the "Ad Free" QS toggle gets renamed to "Rom Tool S22" When I moved this to active tiles it turned into the "Ad Free" toggle :D thanks again for your work and assistance !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well all was going well until google syncing services broke and chrome stopped working even some other apps started force closing as well. I suspect the problem may lie with LSPosed. It asked me to update so i flashed 1.8.3 and i noticed issues after doing this. I don't really use lsposed all too much but im going to make backups now.

Started all the way back at stock re rooted, re put in twrp, setup the device and setup magisk. Everything is stable and settings are how I want so now I make a stock-root backup. Then I will install rom, setup rom tool and tweaks pro make sure all is well, backup, Then start going through all the features I enabled and setup one by one until I can find the culprit of this issue. I will post back any finding incase any others maybe experiencing google syncing errors (such as telling you to re sign-in but it won't let you, chrome or google apps not working, or even apps force closing)

I have the exynos S908B and I'm using the SEK firmware (although even though I'm using this firmware my csc still shows up as EUX) csc features seem to work fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It could be culprit, simply disable in magisk - reboot and see (you can narrow it by doing disable modules one by one)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rogue8o8:
I keep getting MD5 mismatch error everytime I try to install with ROM installer...no alternative download?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
I asked this in TWRP thread for S22 Ultra, but seeing if I can get a faster response over here, What partitions are required for a decent backup? I'm coming from note 9 so there's a lot of stuff in here i don't recognize IE: Super, Prism, Etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Super + data should be enough. Though you can backup prism + optics

As S22 have system ro nothing going to change in system, product,etc except vendor. For that purpose you needs super backup. Prism and optics for csc related.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Thank you so much for that info! I'm going to pass the tip along in the TWRP thread incase others aren't sure which options to select as well. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you have read my changelog post (which I recommend to read to everyone on this rom), you may have get much detail information about this. It's under tip/bug/fix section
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Oh i found your link to that post! didn't notice it above the boot warning fix on my first read-through. Many apologies!

Had an error with backup that I had to fix, I guess there is a font file under /Data/Fonts/Files/ in some random numbered folder called Noto-"something".ttf can't remember filename but know it started as Noto. I had to delete this to make backups work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Aluyi:
Hello Fellas, how do I update to the latest firmware without losing my data. I am on 07 base, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well this time i did everything as clean as i could, didn't use lsposed, didn't debloat. and still for some reason started having google syncing errors with my account across apps. Tried to remove google and re-apply but no menu for adding an account would show. I'm stumped to why this is happening to me :(
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Hey mate is it possible we will see a ketan custom kernel in the Feature that tweaks the 8 gen 1 a bit? Its a fast cpu but i think the biggest x2 core needs to be downclocked to 2,5ghz to generate less heat... My phone is on ~40C most of the time (okay its hot in germany 25C but my oneplus 7t pro mclaren does this temps while Gaming pubg g and the s22 is doing it while Surfing...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
NO
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well looks like i will not be using this rom until this issue can be resolved. You say the rom doesnt touch google stuff. Yet I clean install the rom. Don't apply tweakspro or any mods. And then chrome stops opening, play store stops syncing and anything related to my google accounts stops working. Not really sure what the problem is since you claim the rom doesnt touch any of that stuff. but it must be. I've tried 4 clean installs keep having the same issues.

looks like i'll just sit on stock with magisk root for now
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
I can be on stock rooted with magisk and everything works fine until i flash the rom tool and i notice it happening especially after applying the safetynet fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Do you see anyone else have reported similar issue? Unless I get how to reproduce or informative logs, I can't fix anything.

Only I can suggest you to make sure you are on same base as said in changelog
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
No of course im the only one with the issue lol -.-

im on the exact base firmware that was listed in the changelog it matches the version on the rom tool.

how do I make some logs for you so we can get this figured out. because there is nothing wrong with my google apps before flashing the rom tool

I made sure to check chrome it was still working after flashing rom tool but safteynet was failing so then I applied safetynet fix and noticed google apps stopped functioning correctly. Keeps saying Network error on most google apps. but other non-google apps with network work fine. And there is nothing wrong with my network my other devices are working fine.

this makes me sad because I've been using your roms on lots of Samsung devices for years and been donating and loving all the work with no issues.

I flashed back to stock with magisk 25.1 and boot warning removal applied. Everything back to the way it should be to install rom but I will wait maybe there is a way we can log my whole process?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
One thing to try, which is a long-shot, go to Apps>Google Play Services>Open>tap 3-dot menu>Uninstall updates. Let it do it's thing. You will be immediately prompted to update GPS or your device may not work....reboot. When device comes back up, update GPS.

Hoping this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
ok i will flash rom and try this. then i will try using my apps and report back.

Edit: Weirdly everything is working this time (so far) I have gotten as far as applying essential fix, safety net fix, going to continue and see if any google issues come back

I did notice when restoring backup that i got a screen saying "Optimizing Apps" which I previously never gotten thinking maybe this helped fix the error but not sure yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] agarth99:
It failed to flash TWRP in ODIN. VBMETA fail, Device; 0x2, Binary; 0x0

I managed to flash Afaneh92's TWRP and vbmeta_disabled_R.tar.

It seems like no one has any issue but me?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Hm well can't save 3minitbattery settings because the storage location is read-only. any fix to this?

edit: well this is interesting, 3minitbattery will let me save to emulated/0/Downloads folder just fine and now its working. But for some reason the pre-loaded 3MinitBatteryIcons folder keeps saying it doesnt have read/write access. Which is strange because root browser pro isn't showing any differences in permissions compared to the other folders.

Changed its storage to downloads for now instead of default. that works.

Now only if it would let me overwrite system ui audio files so I could customize with my metal gear solid ogg files. just wont let me overwrite or change any permissions

Hallo

On my s22 ultra i installed s07 rom with twrp. I would like to upgrade to s08 rom without losing data and applications. How to do
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SkilletDesire:
It's ok now I updated my stock rooted to AVF1 and installed S08 with your APK on 908E Snapdragon and Wearable working 100% now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ImtinanShaukat:
Greeting.

Galaxy Watch is not pairing. Please guide.

I have S908E/DS. And used S08 Update..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
For other users it is working, I don't use wearable so can't test. Simply disable ROM module if you think S08 causing issue and continue using stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Changelog post have already mention this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
I experienced your error(s).

Everything was running fine until I attempted TWRP backup. The backup failed. Tried a few tricks, none worked. So, not only did the BUs not go but, I soon found out that it had corrupted my APN and setting so, no mobile data. After attempting several more tricks, including a full TWRP restore. Still no mobile data; Wi-Fi and voice connect but that's it. So, I went back and flashed back to Stock (BL, AP, CP, Home CSC and, TWRP); that Frija app is really amazing. Reflashed S08. After finishing S08 install and restoring Google backup, I started getting Play Store/Google errors, about 40 +/- apps "couldn't be downloaded". Wiping data and uninstalling GPS updates solved these issues.

Thanks Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
This is probably well-known but, JIC... for any audiophiles that are on Snapdragon and missing Viper, there is a tool that will enable pretty great audio playback on SD device(s). Visit Playstore and get the Audio DAC booster. Pro version is available for small charge.

Apologies to Dr.K if this post infringes on thread rules. Full permission to remove post if so.

how come it tells me to downgrade the rom? It's normal.View attachment 5652867
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you choose to install previous version of the ROM then obviously it will give option to downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
well im ready to upgrade s09 but I can't get Frija 1.4.4 to finish downloading the firmwares :( keeps getting stuck part way through and sitting at 0 kbs doing nothing.

update: after 3rd try finally got the full file to download... phew

and screwed up somehow lost twrp

back to stock , rooted, gonna try to get twrp back in with the vb meta disabler file

and twrp back in. phew. now to finally update to s09 :D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well something doesnt match up right here with this update. Because the rom installer says we need base AVF9 however the update actually is AVF5 on S908B atleast I notice your update was built on s908E so I don't even know how to install this. Flashing my s08 backup back on until this makes more senseView attachment 5653445
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Usually same month security patch with minor difference (last letter) should be fine. I needs someone to test and report, if you want, you can.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Ah ok, yea i noticed the last file in Frija was labled AVF9 but the base says AVF5 in settings. Im still all prepared so I will go ahead and try to flash your rom in. If you need a dedicated Exynos tester I'm free 24/7 :D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well success so far :D setting up rom tool , gona test google apps again cuz of weird error i had that last time haha and then install all my settings and should be good.

The only thing I can't test is 5g and mobile data just yet. A lot of US carriers wouldn't turn on this model even though most of the bands match up. for anyone reading and has 2908B/DS in the US these carriers WONT work: Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, Spectrum.

Confirmed working on web says T-Mobile and AT&T for s908b/ds

I have google Fi sim card coming, they work off T-Mobile towers so it should work, but will confirm when I actually put SIM in phone and see that sweet 5G symbol on my bar.

One fix we do need though is something to remove the notification for the search engine selection that pops up. I always have to turn off it's notification but I'd like to just remove it completely lol

Edit: while setting up had same google issues as before with play store service errors even after using fix in tweaks pro
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Need to know how to uninstall GPS updates updated to s09 and back to same problems. also don't advise wiping /data. this leads to wiping out Dr. Ketan's rom and having to start over again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Are you restoring data from TWRP? Or restoring settings from Cloud like google or samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
The problem really doesn't start with restoring data but with base apps like , chrome etc not syncing with the logged in google account. Like in system settings under accounts. Then it gets worse if you try to remove the google account, no box will show to allow you to log in again. It's very puzzling and the issue seems to happen even before flashing the rom. Signing in when setting up before flashing rom seems to work, restoring apps seems to work for a bit, then gets stuck and starts giving yellow exclamation marks saying its unable to download apps. On every google app where you would see your profile picture ends up being a gray default user icon (like your not logged in)

Funny enough restoring TWRP data seemed to fix my issues last time. I solved it on accident by making a stock rooted backup (all apps updated from google, settings configured just no rom yet), restored that backup, wiped cache, reboot and got a screen to say "optimizing apps" when booting back up, then everything worked for me.

I tried replicating that optimizing apps screen by doing simple delvik cache , metadata, cache wipes but it wouldn't trigger it like when I restored my backup.

I'm back to stock root again doing tests to see if google will continue to act funny before flashing rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Weird, I did a reboot to configure magisk after going back to stock and the device randomly went to the "optimizing apps screen" loaded, then rebooted on me again, "optimized apps" again, and now seems ok. will check to make sure things are stable, continue to flash rom and hope things remain stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
My question was simple, do you restore data from twrp or any cloud? Yes or No
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Just the basic Google "restore from old phone" backup when setting up firmware, so google cloud I would say.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Never restore data made on old firmware to new in any form, be it from twrp or cloud

Clean install - restore third party app with some tool like swift backup or something. Never ever restore any system app data from backup (usually from the Google/samsung or Samsung switch)

If issue starts just after login account then highly suggest, some settings gets restore from your cloud backup and causing issue.
