My suggestion to the OP, is get the SM-S908E. The Exynos version doesn't do as well on the tests as the Snapdragon and also, the SM-S908E's seem to be a few hundred cheaper than the SM-S908B's.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gav83collins:
lol thats funny i didnt pay enough attention to notice you wasnt the op, my bad, a lot of people are complaining about the exynos, but mine has no issues others are reporting, but saying that i dont own a sd variant to compare, but i am happy with mine esp now its rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] airwebber:
The benchmarks are just not up to the usual PAR for exynos vs the Snapdragon for this version. But, the main reason for the OP, I would suggest the SM-S908E, is the price.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gav83collins:
i did do a geek bench comparison thread, and with everything on my device, i was a little sower than a sd device who also did a test, but wheni turned off a few things mine was much faster

At this point, I would have been happy with either, but they just don't have the bands for my carrier in da USA.

yeah that sucks, i dont get 5g where i am either nearest signal for it is 20mile away

So guys just to clarigy then the Indian model (SM 908E) will be rootable AND will be able to work in Canada yes?

This website linked showed me nothing for SM-908E in the dropdown list below, so I am a little confused about that!

Guide to root Galaxy S22 Ultra (B/E/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)

Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

E is one of the models the instructions work for.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] newuxtreme:
Thanks for the reply!

The version of firmware here has different numbers on it, would it work with this version of phone that's available on Amazon In?

"SM-S908EZKHINU"

My apologies if questions too newbie, I already bought a phone previously and had to end up sending it back so...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] airwebber:
What firmware is on that phone? The way I understand it, is you would download that firmware, unzip it, then upload the AP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file to the phone. Install magisk on the phone and then open Magisk on your phone and press the install button in the Magisk column. Select 'Select and Patch a File', 'Let's Go' and find the AP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 and select it. Then follow the rest of the steps.

I didn't think we even needed to do all these steps. I thought you could extract the boot.image via a modified 7zip and then just upload that to the phone and patch, but these steps may be smarter and safer:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] airwebber:
I did the same thing with the: SM-S908U1. I checked here and read a few threads and swore it said it was rootable (which shocked me). I had to return it as well. Now I am not sure what to do, because none of the rootable versions come with the 5G bands: mmwave (n260/n261).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] airwebber:
One another side note, if you go with the E, chances are you may wanna use the rom below, so other than for the sake of maybe rooting the phone, you wont remain on it's version of firmware.

Thanks so much for all the advice brother!

Yeah I am a little annoyed it takes so much work to get Root going on the phones nowadays.

All the way until my current phone the Oneplus8 Pro it was smooth sailing.

This is the first time I have had to research so much before buying and already regretted a purchase this quick!

I will be getting the Indian variant it seems unlocked and itseems rootable too!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] airwebber:
I think the Korean version (SM-S908) has the same bands as the B?E. So that could be an option for you as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] POLARIS183:
Hi,

I was trying to root my Samsung S8 running Pie with Odin and CF AutoRoot. After the rooting took place, Knox was tripped, and my phone did a factory reset.

However, my device is now stuck in a boot loop.

The order of events is this:

1) Samsung S8 logo shows up

2) Blue screen, android appears with the text 'Erasing...' and a spinning wheel

3) Wheel starts to buffer, black screen.

4) Back to the start.

If anyone has experienced this problem before, and has been able to fix it (or not!), please do reply.

Thank you!

to just remove them without doing it your self

flash the up_param.tar file in odin under the BL tab

get it here = Gdrive - Mega - Dropbox

to remove them yourself you will need to follow these steps

(there is a video below too)

1st - download and install 7zip standard , and download and unzip odin

2nd - navigate to the extracted firmware and right click on "BL_S908BXXS2AVDB_S908BXXS2AVDB_MQB51326408_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5" {your firmware may be different}

3rd - select open archive with 7zip standard, once its open drag "up_param.bin.lz4" into the firmware folder window and drop

4th - right click "up_param.bin.lz4" and select "extract to "up_param.bin/"" using 7zip standard

5th - navigate into "up_param.bin" folder and right click "up_param.bin" and select open archive using 7zip standard

done......

thanks to

juda iskariotsky for making it common knowledge

Do you recommend to keep the created up_param.tar to be used after each update?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gav83collins:
i would like to say yes, but its possible samsung changes something and flashing the up_param conflicts with a change they make and causes an error, its unlikely, but never say never

Yes sure. You are the person that can make it possible. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
I was going to post my print, but mrjoy posted before. Digging around, it seems that this is not possible for snapdragons, at least for previous devices. It seems that the boot file is mounted during the boot and images are loaded, there is no way to extract and replace the images there without Samsung's signature.

I'm just writting what I found in other threads, though.

If you want to dig, it seems it is part of abl.elf file. See if you can get this to work.

Maybe if we could do that by another mean?

Be prepared for bricking

Before that, learn how to enter brom Mode and execute command (for example dump something, it can be boot.img because its small) just in case if you brick it. Good luck!!

Edit2: to enter brom mode you must open phone and look ( on internet) for testpoint, then execute command ( example: python mtk r boot.img ) short these testpoints, and connect phone to PC. Dont short them too long, because you can fry the motherboard, and dont confuse them!!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zubair1836:
What about the BL_xxxx... that is downloaded alongwith firmware? No need to flash that?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] wojtekojtek:
CSC (Consumer Software Customization): It is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and APN setting.

PIT (Partition Information Table): You only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout.

BL (Bootloader): As its name implies, this option is used to flash the Bootloader of the device.

AP (Application Processor or PDA): Android.

CP (Core Processor): We call it Modem

took from here

If you are upgrading whole firmware, flash everything and modify up param again.

If you are just flashing another firmware, ( or you want to go back go stock) just flash AP.

To be honest. You would probably be better off just getting a new set of USB-C headphones. They cost from around $9 to $30 with the average around $15 or so. The amount of money you are going to spend on a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor will be about the same as you would spend on a pair of USB-C headphones.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] arstulex:
Apple sell USB-C to 3.5mm adaptors. I'm pretty sure the only Apple device that hasn't transitioned to USB-C yet is the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
I stand corrected. Bad assumption on my part.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] msegmx:
Is the same rule true for USB-C headphones, do the cheap ones work or do the headphones need to have a special (expensive) chip inside?

Do Xiaomi compatible cheap USB-C headphones (with microphone) work?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I'm not sure. It should, but the OP stated the one he had was Xiaomi and it didn't work with his S22U.

I do know the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter works. My daughter has one. I tested it on my S22U, Tab S7, and her S22 and it worked with no problems. It cost $9.99 at Best Buy and around $8.27 at Amazon.

You don't need to worry if it includes a DAC since that is handled in the phone. If it wasn't the speakers and microphones wouldn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] msegmx:
I gave up on buying a converter/ adapter and already ordered earbuds. But I still want to have headphones around, and obviously they have to be USB-C.

So I was looking at some (USB-C) headphones today, some of them were quite cheap, some were labeled "Xiaomi compatible". Was wondering if they'd work with the S22U.

Do those (cheap) USB-C headphones work with the S22U or do they have a DAC problem as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I don't think it's a DAC problem. I think it's a wiring problem. Xiaomi may not be implementing the USB-C specification fully or properly. USB-C is a connector standard, not a protocol standard. Just because a device has a USB-C port doesn't mean it fully supports USB 3.x protocols. For example, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a USB-C port, but uses USB 2.0 standard.

As far as cheap USB-C headphones, as long as the manufacturer adheres to the proper USB-C pin-outs then they should work. I ordered these for my daughter's S22. They are the exact same headphones I use on my S22U and Tab S7.

Skull Candy and manufacturers also make USB-C headphones that are under $30.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
DACs for these aren't expensive but the headphones will not work without one.

Output from the C port is in the digital not analog realm thus the need for a DAC.

It's easier to use the Buds+ or similar Samsung bt ear bud. Otherwise use the Samsung 3.5 mm audio dongle, it's $15.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Again. You are putting out bad information. The DAC is in the phone, not in the headphones. If there were no DAC in the phone, the speakers would not work.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
A USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor won't work with PayPal or Square card readers. Those adaptors are designed to work with headphones. I had a PayPal reader a few years ago that used the 3.5mm port. It worked great with my Note 8 and my Tab S2. However, when I switched to the Note 10+ and Tab S5e, (both have no 3.5mm port), I couldn't use it as is. When I tried using it with the adaptor that came with my Tab S5e, it didn't work. I ended up getting PayPal's wireless reader. Both PayPal and Square make wireless card readers.

The basic PayPal Here wireless reader is $25.00 and the basic Square wireless reader is $49.00. Both have batteries and charge via USB. The only downside, at least for the PayPal reader, is that it charges via a microUSB connector, so you would need to keep an extra cable on hand just to charge it.
