[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Techguy777:
I'm curious does Samsung do the A/b slots on their devices now? I have a Poco F3 with a/b slots and it screws you out of being able to backup and restore your ROM. So Samsung usually does it's own thing so I'm curious if twrp can backup and restore for this device?

If someone just responds yes or no I would be grateful.

I do not use TWRP backup anymore...too many issues. I have been using Swift Backup for about 1.5 years. Excellent product. You can get it on Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Techguy777:
Yes I already bought it. But I'm not talking about app backups. I'm saying system backups and restores. I know there's a bootloop Magisk protector module. Im not talking about bootloops either. I get so frustrated with xda you ask a question and you get everything but the question

It's a simple question can this twrp backup and restore the system and data?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Techguy777:
I'm going to take it as a yes the twrp can backup and restore. It must be nice I miss it. I have to reflash the rom if I get in my major trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gcrutchr:
S22 uses f2fs file system which is read-only. Therefore a restore will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Techguy777:
Well the good ole days are gone now. I really don't understand why they have to change everything. Good news though Samsung has announced UFS 4.0 2023. It has speeds like an nvme SSD. I think write was 2800mbps and read is 4200mbps.

hi guys, is anybody has installed successfully this recovery on galaxy s22 ultra snapdragon ?

got the phone today and just trying to flash recovery and not to brick… thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] respect911:
Should be removed. Mistake double post

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] respect911:
It must be mistake . Mentioned in one post. Thanks for pointing ☝️.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Got TWRP in snapdragon, but it seems that Aurora ROM is required. Didn't try without it.

Also system is RW and I was able to make a twrp backup. Didn't try to restore yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Twrp by @afaneh92 is almost in final stage of testing. You can use on stock rom too. Needs to have custom kernel for vendor rw and for decrypted data.

I have used it today afternoon to test and seems all good. Wait for him to publish it over xda when everything get fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Nice, will it support system as RW?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Danielisko:
for formated /data just use latest multidisabler
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rodrigofd:
Could somebody confirm/clarify if this (or any other) TWRP for S22 series is able to perform full partition backups, and restore them successfully, like we did on older models? What partitions are available to bkp/restore?

Hello to all (sorry for my bad English)

I downloaded the TWRP file on the first page and I succeeded to install it with Odin the file "twrp-3.6.2_12-2_afaneh92-b0s.tar",

without any error in Odin, but impossible to launch TWRP, I don't know what to do or try, I think I tried all the key combinations!

I have a S22 Ultra (SM-S908B Exynos) I'm totally blocked and I can only find the page shown on page 4, message 72 from "Robigamer89".

Would you have any advice to help me.

Very thanks in advance for all your help.

Steph
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kuba1996:
Man look at my post #73 and install twrp and vbmeta from Afaneh. ( He is the best). And its confirmed working recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Swiss_andro:
Hi,

I installed TWRP + vbmeta with Odin without any problem, but I can't get to the TWRP screen ... I don't know which keys to use on my S22 Ultra to get there.

How did you get there?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kuba1996:
after flash twrp in odin Vol up + power + USB connected

Hi *,

I got the following error while flashing SM-S901B/DS with twrp AURORA_TWRP_S901X_2200_3.6.2.12_OneUI4.X:

SW REV CHECK FAIL (VBMETA) DEVICE : 0X2, BINARY 0X1

any ideas why is it happening?

Is it working fine on Android 13?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neo2k12:
I don't think so. I'm getting Bootloops on Android 13 BWA2. ADB doesn't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This twrp never work as intended on any device/os if you look carefully initial discussion

Look for another twrp thread (by @afaneh92)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neo2k12:
The issue remains the same when I'm using afaneh92's tutorial. Nobody else is having this problem? Base S22 with stock Android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you run multidisabler from twrp then you must flash custom kernel and format data
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neo2k12:
I cannot flash the custom kernel because there's no way I can copy the zip file to the phone. Windows doesn't recognize the phone neither in the explorer nor in adb after I have flashed twrp-3.7.0_12-1_afaneh92-r0s.tar and since all user data is wiped in the process there's no use copying the file to the phone beforehand. Unfortunately I don't have a OTG adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Muarco:
I'm having the exact same issue. Also Odin does not recognise the phone. Did you manage to find a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] neo2k12:
Yes, I got an OTG Adapter ;)

Yup, I had some laying around and didn't know it was basically a USB pen with type-c same as I use for my Macbook Pro

[Google Pixel 6] moldovanos:
Been a fanboy of Pixel since Nexus 4. The best models I think would be the original Pixel, Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 5. Good solid phones for my use without any problems that would bother me.

Pixel 5 was great, I kept it even after getting a Pixel 6 and would occasionally pop a sim card in it to use. I don't do any gaming and P5 had everything I needed besides a bit slow processor sometimes.

Pixel 6 on the other side would constantly make me annoyed. Don't like the size, it's bulky. Oneplus is even easier for one hand use even though it's a little bigger overall.

I am a truck driver and go to many different places. The modem in this phone is just horrendous. It loses signal or has bad connection in places where other phones perform just fine.

Even at my home, P6 is basically unusable, while OnePlus has good enough connection (Verizon).

Charging P6 is a bad experience too. Takes forever if phone is being used and gets hot. Overheating is actually a big problem here. I often use video calling and never ever did I have another phone turning off mobile network, because it got too hot, after 40 minutes of talking.

I just got tired of constant bugs and really happy about finally switching to a different phone. Oneplus does not seem to have any of those problems so far. Great cell connection and charging speed is just incredible. Software seems to be fine, have not had any glitches yet. Overall I would highly recommend it over a Pixel 6
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
Different price tags
[Google Pixel 6] nutzcase:
Is there a reason why you can't just move on?

It all most sounds like you have remorse for getting rid of the P6.
[Google Pixel 6] DMart9406:
For me , i charge my phone once daily and it lasts form 5 am to 12 pm with 5h of sot.

I have a fast charger for when i really need to charge it fast , but usually i charge it with a slow charger during the night.

Its all i need.

About network, i have no problems. No 5g in my area but i have 4g and it offers good enough speed even for streaming 1080p.

5g spends more battery though
[Google Pixel 6] moldovanos:
Just sharing my experience. I would not say it's a remorse, its more of a sadness, frustration with hardware and disappointment that I had to leave the Pixel line.

Got really used to the software over the years
[Google Pixel 6] moldovanos:
The same problems apply to 6 Pro
[Google Pixel 6] mr.serfus:
IDK what this post is supposed to achieve but just for the protocol I'd say that I never had any of the issues mentioned by OP.

It's my first google phone , coming from oneplus 3, and i really enjoy it so far.
[Google Pixel 6] a g bell:
I Agree with those issues not sure OnePlus 10 is a smart move now though OOS is dead colour OS is🤮

I currently own pixel 6 and a op7t

Charging time is crazy given the battery.Then there is the fingerprint reader 🤯

Oxygen is alive for 10 Pro, just got a new update yesterday actually
[Google Pixel 6] kennethwendo:
Hi.

Interesting reasons why you want to leave the pixel phone....

1. Pixel 6 is bulky (by your own admission the OnePlus 10 pro is bulkier). I can add you one more; OnePlus 10 pro has a curved screen which, if you are a driver as you claim, is really bad because of accidental touches.

2. Modem ; granted I have some problems with this but from my experience as a user of the pixel 6 this is a problem I had on my esim and seems not to be prevalent on the physical SIM. But that is just me so I think this may be a legitimate concern which for now I do not experience (I travel extensively for work by the way)

3. Bad charging experience. You probably did not buy a proper charger for it. Were you using the specified tech for it? I have been using my pixel 4a 5g charger on the pixel 6 (for obvious reasons that the 6 did not come with one) and the charging was very modest. This charger is 18watts which is not fast charging for the pixel 6. However I went for the recommended PD charger that does 30watts and I am not doing Rapid charging. The pixel does around 23 watt on fast charging and I get very fast speeds with that. But this is probably nothing close to the warp charging on the OnePlus 10 pro but honestly this is not a game changer for me as a person on the move. I have a fast charging car charger which is always ready on the go.

4. Heating: honestly this has happened to me when I used the OnePlus 9 pro and worse when I am on a video call, with the phone charging and having placed it on my dash phone holder holder. If I don't have to hold the phone it is fine with me. The pixel 4a 5g would occassionally go off on me because of temperature increase but this has never happened on the pixel 6.

5. Constant bugs....yeah....this has become like a song for everyone leaving the pixel 6. Honestly I went for the pixel because I know I am on the cutting edge of software and I expect some things not to go well. I have options to change from one OS to another so bugs do not bug me (no pun intended). In any case OnePlus has been known to similarly have bugs. Maybe the OnePlus 10 pro is resting on a conservatively stable software which most likely is not the most recent. Please note that the pixel is not a conservative phone like the OnePlus 10 pro. The system chip is new and not mainstream, backing a groundbreaking AI agenda which is pushing grounds to places where people have not explored before ....this is an adventure into the future of mobile telephony...if you are not the person into adventures and trying new things then the pixel is probably not for you. You will most likely receive the newest updates with newest features never tried on another device and this may break a few things and you have to have the tenacity to wait out the growth with excitememt...otherwise go for a conservative device which may appear to have all the bells and whistles but for me does not whet my appetite.

My 2 cents

The Pixel 6 BETA hardware train LOLz
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
It has always been this way with all of the Google series phones. (Nexus😏).

New hardware and software on release day. Beta testing in the spring.

Not only that, it teaches peeps the ins and outs of adb/fastboot,terminal, coding android, etc...
[Google Pixel 6] Limeybastard:
So in essence the expensive device not working is in fact a benefit in disguise ? Joking aside, Im with you to the point of tweaking and such to get things ironed out, us droid freaks love doing that, but I was talking about the many things that don't work correctly out of the box for the Pixel 6 series and its user base of complaints. Perhaps I they are exaggerated.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
There are choices. If a person does not like the Pixel. Good for them. But there is no reason to keep on harping negativity.

Or is it that some people just like to complain about anything.

(insert violin music here)
[Google Pixel 6] Limeybastard:
Good lord, I make an opinion ( based on research )and now its labelled as "harping" ,Opinions are like A holes everyone has one. I was merely asking you as a Pixel owner what are your feelings about this device are you happy , did it bring value into your world?
[Google Pixel 6] alphasports:
I've had pixels and OP's for most of the past 5-7 years. Loved the Pixel 3, got a 5 and liked it too but a bit underpowered. Had/still have an OP7T as my "big" phone. With google still offering decent trade-in value I just traded my P5 for a P6 (second go-around with the 6) and it cost less than CAD $500 so no brainer there and I do finally like it now that the most annoying bugs are gone, put a d-brand skin on it to make it less slippery. Was very tempted by OP10+ but I'm pissed with OP's recent (since OP9) lack of focus and their smoke and mirrors BS with the "Hasselblad" camera system etc. Oh, that and it being twice the price of a P6...! So, sticking with Pixels for now. Might go back to OP someday if they stop flip-flopping with hardware for the sake of marketing.

Glad to see your post. I been thinking of going to a One Plus 9 Pro over my Pixel 6.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] thelucius:
Hello, a friend of mine had updated his P30 Pro to EMUI 12 and now he has separate Notifications center (swipe from top-left side) and Control Panel (swipe from top-right side). He wants to merge both of these into one, Control panel + notifications on bottom, just as it was before, but I cannot find such setting. He uses the old-school buttons on bottom, but the one that used to show the control panel + notifications now shows the Notification center only. Is there any way to change that?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] adamdvd:
Yes, return to EMUI 11. There is no switch to choose from new and old style.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gnasher666:
I wanted to give my experience of using the Mate 40 Pro without Google Services as I believe it's interesting. I get a little obsessed when I can't have something I'm used to having, and am happy to bootloader unlock or otherwise hack my phone to get GMS working like I did with my previous phone, the great Huawei P40 Pro. Don't get me wrong, compromises are required but what can it do or not do.

I should start by detailing what I normally do with a phone.

I use the normal social media apps, WhatsApp, FB, FB Messenger, Reddit, Discord and Twitter. I watch YouTube videos, listen to Spotify, Apple Music, have a few light games, nothing intensive, have a few email clients one for work (Outlook) and one for personal email (Spark - because I like the way it works with multiple accounts). I also use it for banking, food delivery services and shopping with Amazon, eBay etc. I would use the phone for occasional Android Auto duties and route guidance using Google maps. Finally I of course browse the Web. So all in all I would guess that's fairly a normal usage scenario.

First off I should say that of the above list I can do all of that with my Mate 40 Pro. With the exception of Android Auto. But not always as convenient as I could.

Now I've already given a hint at my tech level so I'm not an average consumer and this phone cannot be used to its fullest by your average end user.

Using Phone Clone to setup the phone I have most of my apps working. Notable exceptions are ebay, YouTube and Google Pay. I keep my apps up to date using Aurora Store and try to avoid using the Huawei App Store for anything.

What have I done about ebay and YouTube? I use the web versions. They are fine for my needs, just not quite as convenient as the apps.

Google Pay was something I didn't want to continue to be blocked from using (obviously the P40 Pro even with GMS installed couldn't use Google Pay) so I ended up replacing it with Curve. This app / account provides NFC payments across all your banking cards as well as storing all your loyalty cards too. So almost a direct replacement for Google Pay.

As for Android Auto, that's the one thing I haven't been able to sort out a replacement for but I'm lucky enough to have sat nav in the car which works with the HUD (Android Auto didn't) and using the phone as a wireless hotspot and streaming audio over Bluetooth audio I'm not missing it at all.

It's not perfect but with a little effort it's a lot better than expected. Obviously everyone's mileage will vary.

With all that said, how long will I keep the phone for? No idea, I'm already eying up an Honor Magic 4 Pro but also prepared to consider future Huawei devices.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
I'm now selling my Mate 40 pro after over a year of use easily been the best phone that I've owned, changed to a Mi 11 Ultra - First things of note are adverts everywhere, nothing much on the Mate. Like you any apps that don't work then over to the web apps although not sure why ebay doesn't work for you as it does for me (except notifications). The Honor Magic 4 Pro isn't a better device than the Mate (unless GMS is what you want back) the Ultimate version might be a different kettle of fish though, but that sounds like a China only release.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
@gnasher666: For Android Auto you can use AAwireless, and for YouTube can still use YouTube vanced, with logging option (even they have stopped it's support, you can still find the apk).
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gnasher666:
AAwireless, is that the box you buy?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Yes.

I have a friend who bought something like this, he said it works fine.

He recently said he changed it and bought something more expensive, I don't know exactly what he got now.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Derpling:
No phone can really replace the Mate 40 Pro, the camera is just way too good.

I'm looking forward to importing the Magic 4 Pro Ultimate or buying any worthy phone, since all phones that released in this year are not good at all.

I'm very interested in the Magic 4 Pro Ultimate too. Honor are suggesting it may have a global release at some point.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] _4279:
If you don't mind the missing push notifications,

you can still get most apps (not google related apps) via APKPure (which will be genuine apps and they do provide SHA256 checksum, but I believe you will do the hashing checksum again by yourself)

Ebay, bank apps, everything I need works just great
