Installation, Important Infos & Download

Installation : State of the art Installation procedure.

Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files for Full ROM and for magisk module read changelog post.

WARNING

Before you root your device you must be aware that

This will void warranty.

As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.

There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide

There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It

Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later

Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!

OTA won't work once you root device.

ROOT with caution.

You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.

ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Finally! After all the teasers and trailers ... We are getting into serious business !

THANK YOU

All the best and cheers Dr. !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] |||||:
Haleluja, its here!! Great amazing work! OMG I'm so excited! Let's go!!

Thanks alot !!! Finally I can unpack my S22 Ultra ^^ and use it as real Phone :)

Proud to be the first worldwide to have a Custom ROM, FULL ROOT, Adblock etc on a S22 Ultra Exynos :D

Community LOVE for you!! ♥♥♥♥♥

EDIT: HERE IS THE GUIDE TO USE FOR EXYNOS (still testing)

Ok, so basically find and download the firmware (S908BXXU1AVC6 for EU - or ask me for the File..) to the phone eather with the Phone itself or trought USB-Cable, install magisk.apk from here, unpack the zip file from Firmware and patch the ap file via magisk, get the files to the pc and use odin to flash the patched Firmware.

of course unlock bootloader before and go to download mode.

Here is how to do that:

or

https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-samsung-galaxy-s22-s22-plus-s22-ultra/

Then follow the other steps from Dr. Ketan
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
S01 Dr.Ketan Magisk ROM is Online now

Must read changelog above for Installation guide and other Info

Thank you for Support & Trust on this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Belco02:
no rom, only module
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iampatricktan:
Yaiks. Hopefully it will be available for B variant
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You can try on exynos (only module, no root files). If it doesn't work then maximum you needs is to factory reset.

In that case I may consider to make separate rom
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iampatricktan:
I think its much better to make separate only for Exnos variant? So that files for SD will not be included, correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also been using your ROM since my Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beautyangel:
Huge thx my bro
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] |||||:
ok, so great news, it works at least for exynos as well!

Safetynet also works!

Problems so far:

Can't change my keyboard - UI restarts

com.android.phone closes down

and it says system is unstable - please do a factory restore - on boot up.

But all in all it seems to work, with root etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beautyangel:
Thx Dr My bro. Hopefully we can have the Exynos version seperatly if possible and not too much of your time consuming.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Will do it later today

Any of you free just inbox me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
For S908B EXYNOS Users

I have added Bootlogo error text removal file in Download area. Instructions packed inside.

PS : DON'T USE ON SNAPDRAGON device

A thousand thank yous @dr.ketan and to @||||| for your Exynos work 🙏

Just need delivery of my S22 from Sammy now
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beto778:
Dr. Ketam I need this room with call recording and Canadian CSC, is there a way you can help me with it?

I have the device s908e/DS and I habe rooted it already please advice as I can not connect to 5G
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Available features listed in changelog post.

This ROM doesn't do anything with your CSC, simply flash your regional (Operator) stock ROM (with same base as ROM) to activate 5G - Root it - Install ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beto778:
I can not flash my regional (Operator) stock ROM, as the phone is an international version from another country. here in Canada the model number is SM-S908W. the one I have as mentioned is a SM-N908E/DS. is there anything that i can do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Ask your operator for best answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 52yt:
I don't think you need Canadian CSC to connect to 5G. I have a Korean version phone and it works perfectly with my US carrier, and I doubt the issue is related to CSC itself. if you cannot connect to 5G in your international version phone, this seems to me more like a hardware thing than a software thing. Perhaps you should check 5G bands your carrier uses and compares that with your phone's supporting bands. CSC doesn't usually affect mobile data connections at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Handymann007:
Hi

I put the ROM on it and also root and so there, but why can't I write or delete in the system folder with RootExplorer???

Root works on my S21 Ultra but not on the S22 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Handymann007:
Have just found that the SmartView does not work.

Mobile phone tries to connect but then comes the message

"SmartView could not be started"

Then wanted to enter entry "wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable" in the build.prop but is not because I can not write folders in the system.

Hope me can help with both problems

Have just over Terminal app command

"SU -C SETPROP WLAN.WFD.HDCP Disable" entered and SMART View tested and then that works.

So wireless.wfd.hdcp = disable must be in the build.prop in so that smart view is going to enter the terminal after restart without command.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Starman2021:
I got this working on mine. Have you donated for tweaks pro? It's a little easier if so. If not I can still help you out but it's a little more complicated.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sithhy™:
Even though I don't have this phone, I just wanted to say that you're crazy, dr.ketan. I've seen your ROM on so many Samsung phones :oops:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beto778:
I have not, but if you can point me out on the right direction I can really appreciate this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Starman2021:
Give me a few minutes. I will pm you a file to try. You will need root explorer of something similar.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mediajewel:
@dr.ketan ,can you ensure me one thing? My device is 9080 with base AVBH with sept 21 security patch which i got delivered yesterday! I didnt update it. But to use S04 version, device must need to have AVCJ base which is not listed in the sammobile 9080 firmware where the 908e/908b has it listed.9080 latest april patch firmware base is AVCK. But when i tap update from my phone it shows AVCK/AVCK/AVCJ. So can you confirm that this firmware will work with the S04 version so that i can use S04 after updating to new firmware or I update to the AVC9 to use the S03.1 which is reported working on the 9080.Please Let me know about this thing so that i am able to use it! I have attached the update screen of my s22u 9080 have a look on to this.

Thanks!

Dr Ketan

Can you help me???

Can't get write permissions in the system folder.

Root works, but cannot change or delete anything in the system folder.

As of now you can't

S04 worked for me with avck on 908N I don't see why it would not work on 9080. Though it does not seem to work on the newest avd* fw.

Good morning everyone.

Could anyone explain why Samsung has released two firmware with the same code (S908BXXU1AVCJ_S908BOXM1AVCJ: only the "CP _ *. tar" file seems to differ between the two) after not even fifteen days?

Also, why is a new firmware available through frija (S908BXXU1AVDA_S908BOXM1AVDA) that still does not appear on the official Samsung page?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tangotime:
Hello Dr.

I've previously requested this but it's really important to me. Please take a bit of your time and re-upload S03.1. As I'm in a rural area with no laptop and really can't bare the stock rom.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Darkpurple:
No problems with my phone, Guy.,

You can try.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Dont share or duplicate any mirror. It's not allowed nor it work as intended originally

Hello Testers,

No magisk rom for t10?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Will make today if time permits
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xtam:
@dr.ketan do you know way to make full backup of partitions like twrp, but with no twrp on magisk module rom?

will this script https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/data_backup and restore work fine on s22 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you are on custom ROM with system-rw, you might have TWRP and that's best way to backup.

If you are on stock rooted (System-ro) likely your system will be untouched, here why to bother about backup all partition, instead if needed simply dirty flash magisk patched files with HOME_CSC

If you want backup data, nothing is as par to TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xtam:
i upgraded magisk module your rom from android 12 some older version to T9 android 13 and oneui couldnt load - bootloop, reboots to recovery so i had to do factory reset and lost my data.

So i want backup all partitions in future case.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Aug Security Patch update :

I know there is already released Aug security patch. But You might knowing OneUI 6.0 Beta released for S23 and as usual Samsung/Google have messed up some area, so busy fixing issue (Though most of already fixed), due to this Aug security patch release for this ROM may lettle delay. Hopefully I cxan make next week, Stay tuned!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nimish8488:
Don't only wipe plus format data...by typing "yes"in twrp ..that's what i know else doctor saheb can explain
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] axibed:
I managed to solve the problem, but ran into a new one. The camera doesn't work for me, even" fix camera" in the rom tool Just starts the camera, and then it gives an error and crashes. The error is "warning: failure in the cameras." but what is strange is that if I manage to switch to video shooting, then the video camera works. But the photo, no..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] axibed:
I realized that the problem is in the magisk module..

@dr.ketan i have a question:

if device oem unlock has to be set on this rom, and i can not lock it again while using this rom, when thief will steal my phone he can just flash firmware and use my phone as his own, what are ways to prevent from such situation?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] artemuys:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nick_stokes:
any updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fatih.askn:
Hey @dr.ketan !

Is it possible to update directly from T09 to T11? [[Full System-RW ROM) S908B]]

Thanks for your hard works
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It should work but as of now T11 under test is only for S908E
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fatih.askn:
I know the T11 is still in the testing phase. I was wondering if just skipping updates is harmful or not.

thanks for your reply, stay safe :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I meant test is currently on E not B
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fatih.askn:
I noticed that but thanks for the warning anyway :))
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Oncet:
Dirty flashed T11 RW on T10 RW without any issue. My device is SM-S908N. Thanks Dr. for his hard work.

By the way SM-S908N is Korean device and last official firmware is from May 2023 (S908NKSU3CWE6).

Does anybody have any info on when this device will get an official update?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xtam:
again, question, when oem is in unlocked state, what protects phone from thief who can flash firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nimish8488:
When you want your phone bootloader to be locked..just flash stock firmware and then lock bootloader again
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] munky-head:
So far system runs smoothly after dirty flashing T11, thanks Dr.!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
T11 Based on WH3 Aug security patch now online for S908E/N

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] darktanget:
Hello Dr. Ketan,

Thank you for ROM, it is liquid smooth, will share my review after 15 days of usage.

Currently i am facing problem to install work profile via Intune company portal (MS). any suggestions on fixes.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I am not sure if work profile work on decrypted verison of ROM, at least built-in work profile not working. Remind me for workaround during Sept release.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DrPhant0m:
I'm using an S908E on Verizon... and I noticed the first time I went outside my house with my new phone and the freshly-installed T11 ROM that I didn't have mobile data while I was on a call... and that's a telltale sign that VoLTE isn't working. I tried to flash the latest Verizon CSC but it failed in Odin.

On the screen of the phone, it said (in RED):

SW REV CHECK FAIL: (prism) Fused 6 > Binary 3
SECURE CHECK FAIL: prism(6)
Image Extract failed

The VZW firmware I downloaded is:

SM-S908U1_2_20230802080501_etut550vbt_fac_S908U1UEU3CWGI_S908U1OYM3CWGI_S908U1UEU3CWGI_S908U1UEU3CWGI_VZW

Update:

I've been advised that I need to "have vbmeta disabled" before it will let me flash other firmware, and I also have to "create my own csc tar to include omr, opt and prim image" but... I'm not confident trying to figure that all out on my own.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial (or more, if needed)?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Srbija2012:
T11 flashed, Magisk Alpha working perfectly, thanks @dr.ketan
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Does your CSC fall under the OXM group as per the instructions? If so, did you flash that CSC file as part of the process?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You need not to flash anything custom made including vbmeta as it is already packed inside ROM

What you needs to do is replace CSC file from your own region

One you are flashing have lower binary than ROM. You have to wait till your region get similar update (Aug security patch) and have to grab CSC file from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nimish8488:
Sir..any chance of removing bootloader message at the boot up samsung galaxy s22 ultra snapdragon ??
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the reply!

The fw I downloaded was just uploaded to samfrew yesterday. See the link/info below.

S908U1OYM3CWGI on SamFrew

CSC S908U1OYM3CWGI

Is it already too old? Should/Can I downgrade my Dr.Ketan ROM to T10 in order to use the CSC from the CWGI release from Verizon? Could I then flash the T11 ROM and skip the CSC that comes with it?

Also, how would I know if my CSC falls under the OXM group as @Srbija2012 stated? It doesn't have "OXM" in the CSC name... is that how I'd tell? I want to make sure I get all of the benefits that my carrier offers, so I figured that using VZW's CSC would be the best chance. Off the top of my head, I want to make sure I have 5G, VoLTE, and advanced (wifi) calling. There may be others that I'm not realizing right now, though.

I have 5G, but I'm not sure if I have all the bands I can use (2, 5, 66, 77, 260, 261), but I don't think the S22 even supports the mmWave bands on any model...

I don't think I have VoLTE, since I can't use mobile data while on a call...

and I haven't been able to confirm if I have advanced (wifi) calling.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

(I have another question, but I'll put it in a separate post, since it's largely unrelated to this one)
