[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thieuke:
Hey guys, I tried this method (using ODIN), and it failed.

The phone starts up fine, and all I've seen wrong with it is the Camera app will fail after a few seconds (I can make one photo), but for instance with Whatsapp the camera works fine.

Now a couple of questions:

1. I would like to go back to latest samsung firmware, but Frija can not find this for my model (SM-918B, CSC=EUX), Why is that? (build number ends with AWHR, so the other topic for OneUI 6.0 cannot help me)

2. Does the Samsung update still work? Waranty Void says 0x0 in download mode screen

3. How can I get a log to see what went wrong somehow? I've tried it twice without succes, would like to know why.

4. Maybe here is not the right place, but if I want to go to download mode, I do not have the option long press volume up to unlock bootloader. Anybody have an idea how I van unlock my bootloader?

Hope you guys can help.

Here you go sir!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You have stock ROM installed. Nothing to do with this ROM, kindy post it to appropriate place. (May in Q&A forum)

You must have unlock bootloader to install this ROM. For unlocking bootloader, read How to Root thread .
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thieuke:
Thanks for your reply. Yes stock ROM is still on there. I cannot unlock bootloader, as I don't have the option in download mode.

Never mind, I got it now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ZXR:
Have you activated it in the developer options?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
UB6 (beta 4 WIB base) is Online now

Must read Changelog here
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thieuke:
It worked, I'm now on OneUI6/Android 14.

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thieuke:
Yes, I went in to download mode by pressing volume up, but I needed to long press volume up. And that worked, and the update worked is well.

Thanks for your help.

thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mustaph12:
pls is flashing .md5 better than .tar?

if yes may I know what are the merits?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Absolutely better. It ensures download isn't corrupt if flashing md5 remain successful.

Flashing non md5 for some partitions have potential risk of hard bricking (can never recover without mother board replacement) your device if download is corrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mustaph12:

Now the issue I have is I had to format data and don't have tp installer any longer. Where would I download again? I can't find on your site or on the thread.

Link you received over mail while activating first time
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ffp.:
I hope this is not a dumb question, but what's the difference between Magisk Module (T10) and Ful Rom (UB6)??

Also, they both install TWRP?

PS: I read and re-read the changelogs and what I could understand is that T10 is stock ROM that will be rooted, TWRP recovery installed and system RW enabled by the process, and UB6 is a whole another ROM (CUSTOM ROM, not stock) that also provides Root, TWRP and System RW.

Is that right? @dr.ketan or anyone else could confirm this, please?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klnu2000:
Hi all

Q : Do you think it's worth to update from T10 to UB6

Thanks d.ketan and friends
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello, for Magisk, now it is the Alpha version and the Alpha update channel, all the operation is identical, but this version is fully compatible for Android 14. For the roms, in both cases, the base is the stock rom on T10 Android 13, final version. For UB6 it is Android 14 beta version, there may be operating problems with certain applications not yet compatible with Android 14 and also some bugs. For my part, everything works perfectly on the UB6 version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello, For my part I would say yes now because many problems and bugs have been rectified, concerning me I installed it from T10 to UB3, UB6 is really very good, moreover it allows it to adapt to modifications of Android 14. Be careful, however, there may remain certain bugs and problems with certain applications not yet compatible with Android 14. Also certain mods do not work at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
@dr.ketan

Thanks for the fast updates, wow!

I'd like to test UB7, may you please share the download link?

There is no UB7 in the testing folder of mediafire, yet.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klnu2000:
That was a good answer thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Zulake:
Hi, how is battery life/speed compared to stock ROM?

I'm getting the S23 Ultra on friday, and haven't been on custom ROM since I had my Note 10+ so I forgot quite some stuff. Back then I always used Dr Ketan aswell. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan,

UB7 installed, it's perfect, there are two points that I must point out, first of all there is no longer the request to update the sim card at startup, that's really great.

On the other hand, the QS panel 7x4x5 mode no longer works, even after a rest and several applies and restarts, nothing to do, the navigation bar mod works perfectly on the other hand. Congratulations again for this new update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello, The battery life is pretty good, even better than Android 13 for me, I do around 7 to 8 hours of Soc, it's not bad at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I downloaded a file earlier, is it the same
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello If it is indeed the UB7 version, yes it is indeed the same version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
UB7 have a bug (Beta bug), call recording not working.

I will re upload UB7 with fix. Test users will have separate small fix and won't require to re flash ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mustaph12:
How do I do dirty flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kjeneral:
Evarybody know is it possible to record calling via wificalling?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klnu2000:
hi d.ketan

can i go back from ub7 ti t10 ??

its normal ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kjeneral:
no, it isn't
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You can, mostly you need data wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bryanpen77:
Hey Dr been using UB5. There is no screen off memo. Been looking through the menus but can't seem to locate it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Install Samsung Notes from samsung store
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Cesareeee:
Hey

Where do I find it call recording fix ub7?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bryanpen77:
That worked thanks. Where is the link for UB7. I would like to try it out if possible
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It's not public released yet. Last beta have major bug (Call recording) so I have hold release of UB7. It's take lot's of time to rebuild ROM so I may wait for couple of days or next beta (which might have call record fix by samsung itself) , otherwise I will re-release UB7 with call recording fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bryanpen77:
Well I don't use call recording so I would still like to try it out if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mishuletz:
Please, anyone who can help.. some applications (Radarbot, Wizz Air) cannot stay open.. They are installed from Google store.

I am on UB7 premium, clean install. How can I fix it? Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Read changelog UB7 - Bug/fix/tips section

There are some suggestions to hide root

Try out and share here if any works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello, I think this is a bug in the Android 14 beta, because I synchronize my files via the foldersync application and it no longer works either, I contacted the developer of the application and he told me that it was an Android 14 bud. We must therefore wait for this to be resolved in a future update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I am using folder sync without any issue

What exactly not working?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan, Under Android 13 the synchronization of my files was done without problem, application closed, they launched at the set times, I set daily synchronization with a specific time, example 1st folder, 1 a.m., 2nd folder , 2 a.m., but the next day the date changed to the following day but the synchronization did not take place, I tried even by setting it to 5 minutes, you have to leave the application on the screen for this to happen. works, if I go out even without closing the window to return, the synchronization does not start.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Something wrong with your setup. I have multiple time based profile on FolderSync and executes as intended.

In settings of application check permissions are given correctly. Alsp allow to stop battery optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
C'est étrange, je n'ai rien changé dans les paramètres par rapport à avant, je vais vous donner les écrans de mes paramètres, si vous voyez quelque chose à changer, merci encore.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
First try to post thumbnail instead full image

English only.

Also check all file access permission granted, else give it manually to Folder sync
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Thank you for your feedback, I have not modified anything between Android 13 and 14 in the settings, I do not understand what is blocking the synchronization, unless it comes from Adguard, I will see by deactivating it, although I had it also before and the synchronization worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
What is your destination directory? Cloud or USB?

PS : To insert thumbnail in XDA post : Attach image first and put cursor where you want to paste image in XDA post and select Thumbnail over attached image. It will be much convinient to see images.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Thanks for the explanation to make the images smaller, perfect. Otherwise the synchronization is done from the phone's internal memory to mega, if I start the synchronization manually, it works perfectly, it's just the automatic synchronization which no longer starts.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
View attachment 6010527View attachment 6010529

The time of the future synchronization changes but the synchronization does not start, except if I leave the application open in the foreground.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This suggest related to battery optimization only. Make sure you have not added this app in sleep/deep sleep in battery settings (Background limit). Also onle disable and enable stop batetry optimzation from Folder Synd app setting page

Still issue then try creating new test pair with different cloud
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Thanks for the advice, I just checked and the application is neither in sleep nor in deep sleep, the battery setting in the application is set to unrestricted, despite everything the problem persists.

Hello guys, I have an s233 ultra and I have root with SU kernel and I want to see what the stock firmware update process is like without losing data and also root
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bryanpen77:
Hey Dr. is both UB7 and UB8 in testing?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
UB7 was never released to public due to call recording bug. UB8 is in testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello, No when a new version is being tested, Dr Ketan deletes the old version, there is a period of time during which there is nothing left because the new version will arrive, as soon as this is the case Dr Ketan redone an announcement to say that the new version is available, the UB7 and the UB8 were released very close together, so it will undoubtedly be the UB8 which will be available if free of problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan, the update to UB8 works perfectly, the QS panel 7x4x5, custom navigation bar and call recording mods are 100% functional and without bugs. Congratulations for this latest version. In the top.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Is the rom based on latest Beta
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
So beta 5 that was just released
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Yes, this is the very latest beta, version S918BXXU3ZWIK.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Nice ill download now, where is the link please, and is it stable enough to use
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You needs to read OP (full first page) + Changelog post of latest version + Installation guide from download area.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Why does it say wib when I download the file that was beta 4
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Because latest public release is WIB, New version is under testing. Check STATUS in latest Changelog post. If It will be change to Online from Testing when public release.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Oh ok, I thought it was beta 5 I was downloading
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
when the latest beta ZWICK will ve available to download on official page? pleasee
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Daemonite:
My CSC group is OWO so A14 B6 requires same firmware CSC as ZWIK for install, right?

Unable to find official beta firmware to extract the right CSC.

-Otherwise if i'm on AWF7, can I use T10 with CSC OWO3AWFB or do I also require AWGJ CSC to match ROM?

-Apparently NO AWGJ firmware released for my region (MXO/Mexico), from AWF7 jumps to AWH7 then AWI3.

-Found AWGJ for different country (Chile, OWO3AWGJ), but don't know if this will affect carrier/settings.

Can I use that CSC as long as it is for the same group to install T10? Any workaround to try A14?

Device is factory unlocked

Thanks in advance for the support!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No guarantee this will work but you can try using latest A13 csc file from your region instead of one packed in ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bryanpen77:
That is exactly what I did. Use latest Home CSC from A13
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Daemonite:
Thank you both! This workaround is for T10 ROM or latest A14?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
my CSC group is also OWO and it doesnt matter you can grab an OWO CSC from A13 samsung firmware and still will boot up and will work flawlessly
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Daemonite:
It worked with latest CSC from A13. Thanks for the support!

Can it be flashed without wiping data
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
If you are coming from stock Samsung ROM, then no. You have to wipe data, in order to get rid of the encryption.

If you are already on this custom ROM, then yes. No need to wipe data.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
What?

Where you find this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
Excuse me, I meant it the other way around. I corrected my post above.

If you are coming from Samsung stock, you have to wipe data in order to get rid of the encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'll wait for stable I think
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kjeneral:
no need. it is stable enough
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Will I lose warranty flashing the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Normusmaxamus:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'll definitely wait for stable then
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hi, I also wanted to wait for the stable version, after trying the UB3 version, I went back to Android 13, then I tried again when UB5 was released, since then I'm on Android 14 and I wouldn't want to going back to Android 13, the very stable UB8 edt, I haven't encountered any bugs for the moment, we are very close to what the final version will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Nice sounds tempting, apparently makes s23 ultra even better than it already is on Android 14
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
That depends on where the person lives. In EU, you don't lose the warranty if you unlock your BL or flash custom stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'm in uk so am I safe?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ZXR:
My network operator scan in does only show me the operators and not their technologies (2G, 3G, LTE, 5G...).

Can this be changed with something in the csc-config or build.prop change?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
I don't think UK falls anymore under the EU consumer protection regulation anymore since they moved on from EU.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Zulake:
Hi, I want to flash UB8 on my S23U, it's still 100% stock and locked. Currently on newest stock ROM with August patch.

Is it still just a case of OEM unlock, reboot to bootloader, flash the ROM and good to go? Or do I have to remove accounts first etc.

Also, how do I get the encrypted version? Just flash normal, get Tweaks Pro and it converts to Encrypted or?

I used to have Tweaks Pro on my old phone (Note 10+) but I guess I can't use that license on my new phone anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Simply follow Installation guide available in download area.

For any queries regarding TweaksPro & Encrypted ROM, kindly inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'll await stable then I think

So now replying over XDA is really pathetic.

XDA app no more allowing to login. This started since forum moved to different domain since today morning.

Any users or mods have idea Whether this going to fix or xda app no more going to work? I don't see any notice there about this issue.

Really it's painful but how to support and help users if simply we can't get even notification over mobile app.

I was always against use of telegram or other social media support and my preference was XDA forum but it seems I might needs to reconsider telegram else can't help users anymore.

Dear moderators,

V0latyle Badger50 Oswald Boelcke

Do you have any idea if XDA aapp going to resume by anytime soon? I hope you might help to convey this annoying thing to concern authority, As repying from web browser and getting notification and providing suport to user is like nightmare.

Dr.Ketan.

Edit : I did some ethical hack here lol!

I did little modification to app and seems it's back to work. Let's see if getting notification or not, still much better for me to answer with app now.

I have got debug verson of this with new forum with github.

Yes I remember you as well from HTC sections.

I was indeed part of Team Android Revolution with Mike1986 back then, good times.

I actual switched to Samsung when HTC stopped building their own stuff and started building for Google etc etc.

HTC U11 was my last iirc with Team Venom/Tweaks.

Dr Ketan, my apologies for the off topic but then again, what can they do huh, ban me?!

Everybody, have a nice beer and a good weekend folks!

Hey @dr.ketan ! What's going on? When will be the next release? Why ETA is so long?

Just joking. :)

Thank you very much for cool work. :)

Yesterday I've flashed your last ROM to brand new S23Ultra and everything is great! I've got a couple issues with clock UI but I'm sure you'll fix it in next releases.

I've spent a day to learn almost every feature and test all major functions. Everything looks workable and fine customizable which I like a lot. :)

By the way. S23U seems like good device. This is my first "Gnusmas". I used to work with OnePlus, HTC which I also always flashed with various custom ROMs and got root. Every generation Android devices has more complexity with security and firmware control. S23U is not an exception. And I really respect what you do. Please, don't sell this phone. :)))
