IMEI BAckup only possible after you root device.

Once you have rooted device, you should make backup and keep it to safer place out side device storage.

You may have received mail in case you freshly noted, if not check your spam else contact me with DM.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Thank you, then I will unlock BL > flash ROM > set up everything > send mail via request code app. Then I will also receive IMEI backup tool I understand.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Clasimodo:
I would love to install this rom, but somehow I can't unlock my bootloader. I don't get the question before I need to push the volume up button for a longer time. I 'm in the Netherlands, so I definitely think it should work. I can flash the official Samsung roms through Odin. I tried everything I can think of. Does anybody know what I can do? Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ayhan1971:
Ok, now, let's go :

1st step (on the phone) :

Go to settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Tap several times on Build Number to activate Developper Options

Go back (2 times) to glabal Settings -> Developer Options -> Tick OEM Unlocking ON and USB debugging ON

2nd step :

Power off your S23

Press volume Up AND Down together and at the same time plug the phone into your PC (powered on) with USB cable

Now you will get a warning message. Release the volume keys

Long press volume UP until you see another warning message asking you to confirm you want to unlock the bootloader

⚠️Again, this will factory reset your S23 and erase all your files !!!⚠️

Press volume UP 1 time to confirm, and let the device do it's things

Here you go your S23 will reboot, factory reseted and unlocked ! 😎

If you want to install TWRP i recommand doing that NOW because you will need to factory reset your phone again

You can install TWRP following this GUIDE (only for Galaxy S23 S911B) thanks to @afaneh92 and flash magisk from recovery to root your S23

And/Or you can root your device without TWRP by patching the boot img with magisk and flashing it with Odin i think. I will put a link if i find a guide
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Clasimodo:
Thank you very much. I did do this all before. Now after disabling USB debugging first and then enabling it again it all of a sudden works. No idea why, but it works. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Coalcat:
Hello I have a question. I have samsung s23 ultra phone ,it is sm-s918b version and I can unlock bootloader and root it. I want to overclock my cpu beyond factory frequencies. Is it possible? and if possible, are there any custom kernels for s23 ultra for cpu overclocking?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Neither is possible nor you need to overclock the CPU. You literally have NO app or game that will utilize the power of this CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Coalcat:
But why is overclocking not possible? Is it true that snapdragon locked cpu or is where any other reason?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Qualcomm locked it since SD845.

And tbh, there is no reason to overclock at all. The device already can't handle the heat as it is, imagine if you would need to add more power to it. It would throttle even more.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Clasimodo:
I love this rom. Flawless installation. Can I still make a backup with TWRP and what should I select then? It used to be system, data, and boot, but system is not there for example.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MistahBungle:
Dr K, query if I may ?

Running T07, works great. After a reboot I seem to have lost access to custom fonts.

Have tried disabling toggle in Rom Tool >>> reboot >>> enable in Rom Tool >>> reboot to no avail.

Is there a folder I need to delete somewhere/rebbot/reapply toggle in order to reset & fix this, or some other way to fix ?

Thanks in advance.

Edit - Sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Guys I have problems regarding youtube videos buffering using revanced provided in ROM tool, anyone facing this too? And found a solution?

I have fast and consistent internet and checked with regular YouTube before flashing this rom worked fine so that shouldn't be the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes revanced have issue

I will prepare new version and include in next version

June patch should be on the way
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Awesome, thank you doc

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Probably your csc is non oxm and you may have flashed oxm csc from rom zip

Download your region/operator firmware, extract home_csc* file and flash with csc slot of odin

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
Just got my S23 ultra, download this.. I read in FRANCE, root doesn't void warranty. Please confirm? Also, FP states

"Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files" but well, i don't see them anywhere..? Haven't been on Galaxys for a while, i don't recall too well rom install process.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Technically in EU, tripping knox doesn't void warranty, but you go and confirm that yourself with Samsung before doing anything. No one is responsible here for your own actions.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
Ok i'll add one more, that samsung won't reply : once rooted, you get a warning on boot screen (and you're ask to press a button before boot) : how do you remove this so that it boots as before?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fz798:
This has been asked and answered many times (including in this thread). Not possible at this time (or likely ever) on Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Warranty or not. I have rooted 15+ samsung devices. Only one had a defective screen. Don't worry about Samsung quality concerns. Personal opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] abhijeet715:
@dr.ketan have a question. I was planning to flash this ROM. Currently I am on Samsung official room, rooted with magisk. Just a info i wanted, is that if i plan to dirty flash this rom using the tool that you have provided for the same, would it be okay? (i know it might face issues, but going through the formatting process is a little tough for me due to my work schedule)

Can you please advise?

Edit:

I read the thread where others have also said its possible, but done remember seeing anyone stating they followed the process from official rom to custom rom. Have only seen it for the update part.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Tool isn't available separately, that means you can use only if you are on Dr.Ketan ROM and wanted to update to Dr.Ketan ROM.

Dirty flash will never work while you moving ROM from encrypted to decrypted data or vise a versa

PS : More detail Installation guide available in ROM download area, refer it before flashing ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] beto778:
Hello guys,

I installed the room on one of the devices I have available but I'm having issues with connectivity.

Can I access the Service Menu on main screen?

If I can how can I do that?

ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED 👍.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] catelusii:
If I unroot & Relock bootloader and I will flash stock firmware,

1. Can I use any banking app and Gpay without any issue? ( I will never use samsung pass and samsung pay)

2. What app or services will have issue?

3. The warning ...yellow triangle will go off?

4. OTA will work?

I ask becouse I am thinking to root my phone, and I have concerns.

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Benny-Danny:
I only know about question nº 2

Answer: No, it will not go off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
1.Should work but again it depends on how your app if it detects device status. Most non samsung services should work but S Health,SPay, secure folder may not.

2.As said above

3.Yes (It will go with relocking bootloader, NOT with just unrooting)

4.Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] catelusii:
Defoult os from factory has bootloader locked. Do you say: yellow triangle will go off with UNlocking bootloader?!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Apologies, I meant to say Stock Firmware + ReLocking Bootloader, warning will go. (Corrected above post now)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
"only condition it doesn’t work is if you are already on newer base than one you are flashing. (Samsung doesn’t allow downgrading firmware in some scenario)"

I read this in instructions. I have S918BXXS1AWD1. Am i ok for this rom? Also it says you must download your CSC if not using OXM. But AFAIK, changing CSC is fine, so would do we must have the same as current? Well, i can just use SamFWTool & change CSC to OXM before install DR.Ketan & then after install back to whichever CSC i want using SamFWTool.. Isn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
S918BXXS1AWD1 is fine

OXM isn't a single csc but group of 80+ csc

ROM zip have csc txt. Read it to understand what exactly you needed
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
"If you have non OXM group of CSC then must download stock firmware for your CSC" I did read it! That's why i'm here asking. My S23u is french. But i changed CSC to INS using SamFWTool.

So i need to download S918BXXS1AWD1 now.. With INS CSC? Please correct me if wrong. And what happen if i would flash OXM? Would that prevent phone to boot? I thought we could change CSC to whatever whenever..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Why reading half?

Have you read how to check if your current csc is part of OXM or not? If it is OXM you don't need to download stick firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
Apologize i missed that. It appears to be part of OXM! So i guess i'm good.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Also if you are changing csc just for auto call record then don't do it, rom itself have option for this. When you changing csc your all network settings applies according India and that's bad idea even you don't have visual bug. Best way is to use csc according your operator/region for best optimized network settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
One question:

If I've debloated some system apps and "normal" apps through ADB and I reflash the ROM, will they be back?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
So.. should i revert to local csc before installing rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Feardarks:
can i keep my bootloader locked after i installed this rom ? to keep Widevine L1 netflix hd
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No, you needs to restore using adb or simply factory reset.

Yes, better to have your own CSC

No.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
BTW there shouldn't be issue playing HD video even with unlocked bootloader. I have tested Prime video (It is also DRM protetced) earlier on ROM and was working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
I've read too many things, a bit lost now : about the issue for pairing GS Watch, is the fix included in the rom or we need to flash something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
By the way, as reported on XDA, in Bluetooth, the option (to tick or untick) "visible to other device" IS MISSING. I always had it on every single Android device I had, including older Galaxy. Appears Samsung just hide it. Is it back in your rom? If not, can you bring it? It's a terrible miss for me and probably others.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] maroc1994:
For the Dutch users, do you guys have any problem with login and activating the DIGID app?

I am using deny list and Shamiko. Safetynett is passing, but it gives me an error that the app can't be activated?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Clasimodo:
No problem here. Did you disable "enforce denylist"? BTW, I don't even have it in my denylist.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] maroc1994:
I have found out the cause. There were too many device registrations on the digid. I deleted a few and now i can login and activate it.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ayhan1971:
what's new about it. Is there an improvement in the camera. Or my security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Read the changelog of the June update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fz798:
T07->T08, no significant issues so far, just a couple remarks:

1. I initially experienced several hotboots following the update, but now it seems to have stabilized.

2. As noted as a known issue, Google Play system update initially reported April 1, 2023, then after rebooting showed May 1, 2023, then after more reboots once again shows April 1, 2023. Manually updating appears to complete and forces another reboot, but the version remains at April 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] niosa:
hello. some questions.

the difference between the versions is if you can access the data from the "recovery" simply?

Do you have the option to capture screenshots in places that are not allowed? (secure flags)

Can you update the versions that you release from the mobile itself and without formatting?

Thanks and sorry

@dr.ketan

I guess you are the only one I can ask this to.

I have been fooling around and nobody have a real answer.

I hace already bought an S23 Ultra and in the meantime the Roms are stabilized, I need call recordings.

As long as samsung Pay.

It seems that SEK CSC gives me call recordings and sPay functionality, but honestly I have doubts ...

My question is, ... do you know kinda sheet exists on which I can see which CSC is PHE compatible ?

Many, many thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
INS (India) have call recording + Spam caller + SPay (On Phone , not on watch)

PS : This is for device without knox tripped, else Samsung Pay won't work
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Update :

Just completed T02 with some minor fix + all missing mods. If everything work as expected then almost all the ROM features like DrKetan ROM of other device (s21/S22/N20)will be there. It is quite difficult and time consuming to prepare without having device. Soon sending T02 to test users and see how it goes, stay tuned for detail changelog.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Benny-Danny:
If you want I can test the T02.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pcxnet:
I am in Australia, I can also test T02.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amakuramio:
Rom works well, is there a problem if i manually update universal safety fix 2.3.1 included in your rom to 2.4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enebro77:
Thanks for your kind answer.

It looks like,

SEK doesn't have SPay. Only INS has.

INS doesn't support HCG and blood pressure monitor on Samsung Health smart watch 4 and 5

So it seems the only right stuff is waiting for your ROM :)

Hope you buy it soon.

Its really an incredible mobile ... (at least, when coming from N20U ;) )

Hi, does anyone heard about kernelsu?

I've read something interresting on another thread, maling some search at https://kernelsu.org/.

Does anyone test it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No Idea, nor have any plan to work on it.

Here common answer to may here wants KernelSU support to this ROM.

KernelSU have major benefit is hiding root from app detecting it.

And same time have major drawback is you needs to compile kernel from source to add KernelSU support. As far as my ROM have concern, I am not going to take any burden to jump to kernel compiling/development, Also samsung many times updating kernel source and that breaks rotation/Camera etc very often. I don't want to make ROM release dependent to custom kernel as samsung have poor history of releasing kernel source timely.

So, till magisk working fine for majority of here, I have no plan to switch to KernelSU and this ROM will come packed with latest stock kernel with Magisk only. Anyone want KernelSU can grab from other available source and use it. If any ROM function get broken with KernelSU, I may try to look into it if time permits.

Hope this make clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Vitalik666teen:
I heard... sS22 ultra 2200 has custom kernel with this kernel su. All work good... no problem with module.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] godmode1970:
@dr.ketan

Just for my understanding.

Why isn't CSC file beside Home CSC in your Roms included.

When I want a complete clean installation from stock rom, isn't it necessary or better to use CSC file instead of Home CSC or doesn't it matter?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Only difference is Home_csc won't wipe data automatically while CSC does.

I have not included because

- To prevent accidental using csc and user data loss

- It will add more 800 Mb to download

- Anyone can wipe manually from twrp wipe menu if want. csc doesn't do anything extra
