[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Viper audio is a custom module that may or may not work. It's not a DEVICE issue or this ROM issue.

When I open the SMS app, I get this screen. I cannot agree or disagree to continue with the chat-option. Nothing is happening when I click on either buttons. Only the back button makes this dialog disappear. When I close and open the SMS app again, the same screen is showing again. That's annoying. How can I make this go away?

Did you compile a new Kernel ?

I can see AWF3 in the Kernel description in your screenshot, whereas I noticed AWF3 carries AWF1 Kernel when I flashed it.

View attachment 5943653
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
My ROM contains stock kernel only. Build number and kernel can't be different. May be you have messed something.

Also your kernel dated 9th June which is old. New WF3 build have 15th june build
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
Flashed the Stock AP after patching with Magisk.

I'll download the firmware and give it a go again.

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Magisk patching even don't touch kernel. Might be Something else.

Any chance you have tried other kernel (like KernelSU) and later restore previous kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
I'm absolutely confused. No, Never attempted KernelSU. Wouldn't go near it with a 9 yard stick actually.

Just flashed the INS - AWF3 firmware again over ODIN. (No wipe - with home_csc).

Prior to flashing, I removed AWF1 content from the PC, re-downloaded the INS from Samfirm and patched the AP again using Magisk. Disabled all the Magisk modules prior to flashing as well.

I'm back on the AWF1 Kernel after flashing the AWF3 Firmware. (Screenshot attached)

Baseband - I can see the file itself is AWF1 - which is fine.

CSC / AP - all are AWF3 - but for some reason, I keep landing on AWF1 Kernel.

I understand that the firmwares are same (AWF1 vs AWF3) with just different build names and dates.

I'm worried because I might be doing something wrong during the flashing / downloading / extraction / patching process - which kinda bothers me till I resolve it. That's why I asked you whether you re-compiled your kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Feardarks:
Well, definetly you doing something wrong. Maybe your internet weak? Your settings different? Cleary you can see i have 1920x1080 streaming in "test patterns"
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
As far as stock firmware is concern, Kernel can't be different from build number. Indeed AP,BL,Build number and Kernel always remain same. CP (Baseband) and CSC can be dirrent (Here in WF3 firmware only CSC and AP are WF3 whle CP still remained WF1)

So I am sure you are somewher doing something wrong. May be try flashing standalone stock kernel and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
Your last tip put me in the correct direction.!

As I've found out - After patching with Magisk (Delta, Alpha and Official), the boot.img gets deleted from patched TAR File. This may have been why my AWD to AWF jump resulted in a bootloop. Clean flashing sorted because the stock file has the Boot.img afterall, where I thought it was an issue with Delta.

Seems like Magisk is patching the init-boot file and deleting the boot file.

Any clue to why this is happening?

Guess it might be only me since no one else had any issues jumping from AWD to AWF.

Or maybe most are just flashing the Stock TAR - and then flashing TWRP and Userdata immediately before a reboot.

What do you suggest ?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Gotcha!

This is Magisk issue and I never patch AP but patching manually so missed that completely.

Anyway I hav opened issue on Magisk and hopefully it should get fixed in coming version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
when you see warning, release and press power and immediately keep holding vol up till reboot to TWRP, there are plenty of youtube vide ther

ROM have included latest TWRP, version you can see when reboot to TWRP. My ROM don't needs to flash TWRP/ROOT separately, simply follow Installation guide
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
Thanks a ton for your support!

For now - Anyone who suffers from the same issue - can flash the stock AP in ODIN (With Home_csc), then immediately reboot to download - Flash TWRP, and then proceed from there with Boot Repack and Magisk.

Patching AP TAR with Magisk causes to patch only Init_boot and delete the Boot.img for some unknown reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
At least here in this thread using my rom won't suffer from this as I always add full ROM components manually and that's why no one here using my rom reported it earlier.

KernelSU

For more details about KernelSU read this

here is simple script to add KernelSU support to S23 Ultra .

How it works :

This script simply unpack boot.img and replace Samsung stock kernel image with Kernel SU GKI kernel image (

KernelSU can not work on Samsung Stock Kernel. If you are using KernelSU, you are using custom Kernel

) . This has benefit over flashing full boot.img of diferent build that, this will still keep security patch level intact to protect from roll back protection issue.

It should work on S23 Ultra with A13 (Don't surprise if even work on A14 beta lol!). Also S23/S23+ users can try but must make backup as said below

Known KernelSU bug :

Headphones not working

Some audio files (e.g. Call recordings) not playing, specifically >350KB size.

USB storage drive not working

ROM Tool and TweaksPro (If using) some functions won't work,

System-RW functionality affected

Or may be more

Installation / Uninstallation :

MUST DO : Make TWRP backup of BOOT & init_boot partition.

Flash attached zip from TWRP

Install attached apk

In case something went wrong, simply restore boot.img backup created as said above to "BOOT" partition.

In case you want to revert back to Magisk : Restore boot & init_boot partition backup (as said above), Install Magisk Manager apk and uninstall KernelSU manager

Warning : If you completely uninstall Magisk then Some ROM Tool mods like custom SystemUI / Ad free etc may not work. If you activate required mode before uninstalling Magisk then you can continue use it. Similarly ROM features of TweaksPro may not work.

I don't recommend to use KernelSU unless you really have MUST reason to use it.

Why I need this :

KernelSU have major benefit is lesser chance to detect root. If you have any root detecting app and doesn't work with routine Magisk hide then only you need this, else you DON'T need it.

Credit & Original source : Kernel image s "as it is" copiled by KenelSU team. Here is original source as well Source code for custom Kernel. All credits & Thanks goes to KernelSu team.

PS : I am not a developer of Kernel image, I have just made minor changes to fix flashing error on S23 devices.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Ok, just to update

Magisk developer (Mainaining) have confirmed the issue and marked as issue by known reason. Hopefully should be get fix in ext version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] get2easy:
Holy Moly, the **** goes on.

This phone has been Flashed with unauthorized software & locked. Call your mobile operator.

what ist this?

restart or complete new flash
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Follow the installation guide to the letter. Ignore any error msg may appear after format data and reboot device
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Update to this :

If you want to use KernelSU on DrKetan ROM with keeping all ROM Tool & Tweaks function intact -

Install Dr.Ketan Magisk Module ROM on top of of full ROM. After this all those features should work as expected. Let me know if any bug there.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Vitalik666teen:
WF3 vs WF1 is the same roms because ROM BASE IS 26621697. WF3 made for asian country and maybe have some different in modem.

There is not a single changes in modem

Modem are ditto same on both firmware

Update Magisk Module ROM, Now it should fully support KernelSU.

If you want to use KernelSU kindly install Magisk ROm module on top of full ROM

.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
Great job. ​

Now I'm completely unsure about what to do. It seems like Magisk is slowly dying while KernelSU is gaining more strength.​

So far, everything has been working for me with Magisk (along with necessary modules). However, I use Magisk Delta (but I see that the author has abandoned the project because they fell in love with KernelSU, and they are not alone).

I don't know whether I should switch to KernelSU and go with the flow - although I'm aware of the issue with USB-C connected headphones - or stick with Magisk.

Samsung doesn't make it easy for users with unlocked phones. Will KernelSU be able to handle things as well as Magisk and restore functions (as much as possible)?

What now... DrKetan full ROM or/vs Dr.Ketan Magisk Module ROM + KernelSU?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
What is your reason to moving to KernelSU? Only reason to shift acccording me is if you have an must having app that doesn't work with magisk then it's fine. I don't see magisk is dying, though KernelSu is now a days on hot discussion. I am using it since two days and there are some under the hood glitches. Major one is missing magic mount specificly when we have System-RW now.

For new device wih low development magisk will win as it can work with patching stock kernel while KernelSu needs Kernel specific development, which is lacking now a days. I am testing only to add possible support in ROM Tool & Tweaks but there will be some limitations with KernelSU specifically system mods is concern, I will stay with Magisk as of now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
@dr.ketan hello I'm currently on T08_pro, is it recommend to go T08_1 version? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I don't see any major update. Better wait for July patch
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
Thank you and I will stay. Welcome aboard DrKetan full ROM :)

Thank you for the clarification. I've been following your discussion, and I can see that you know your stuff. I'll leave KernelSU alone; I don't see a reason to use something that may not work entirely. Maybe in the future... Especially since my current applications like banking apps and games have been working well.

I'm a fan of simplicity and clear tasks, but I also like to tinker with the system and customize it to my liking, such as removing bloatware that drains the battery... I just wouldn't want the phone to suddenly shut down and not boot up again upon restarting. I had an experience like that with the S10+ and BeyondROM. Luckily, TWRP was working, so I could copy my data on photos.

Now I'm faced with a choice between "Dr.Ketan ROM" and "Magisk Module ROM." I've read your notes, and it seems that "Magisk Module ROM" will be less prone to issues. However, I do want to have System-RW capability.

The question is, will I actually utilize it?

One thing that discourages me from choosing "Dr.Ketan ROM" is the need for more steps during updates - first the official firmware, then the modified one. Also, I have concerns about potential data loss, which seems less likely with the Magisk Module ROM. On the other hand, "Dr.Ketan ROM" is a complete package, and all I need to do is unlock the bootloader and everything will be installed...

I'm also thinking about detection by banking apps or games. Will the "DrKetan System-RW ROM" be more easily detected or flagged as modified by these apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Here you have some misinformations, let me clear

You don't needs to flash stock firmware first and then DrKetan full ROM to update. Indeed DrKetan Full ROM is full package and it will update all component similar to stock firmware, so you don't need to flash stock firmware first

DrKetan full ROM even more easier to dirty install. Only data wipe is must when you are on stock (or any other encrypted rom) and want to move to DrKetan ROM. Otherwise updating DrKetan rom is single step update like A. select dirty flashing preparation in ROM tool and B. straightway flash ROM update with odin, that's it. There won't be data loss (though you always requested to make backup before any kind of flashing)

Also there is nothing like full rom have more potential to flag modified status. Even it's more clean as most of unused (around 30+) packages are removed physically from rom.

If stability is concern, Full System-RW ROMs are more stable, In termes of function, both are almost same. Both Full & Magsik ROM have little Pros & Cons but both have almost same ROM features except SystemRW capabilities

It seems you have flashed wrong CSC. Your CSC is "SMD" and I don't think it is part of OXM. If SMD isn't part of OXM and you have flashed HOME_CSC* from ROM zip it may cause multiple issue. Get correct stock firmware and flash HOME_CSC from it

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
I've been on your CF for a week. Everything works as it should. I just had to install the little things, calculator, watch, etc. (too much debload :) )

I have a few more things in mind, but more on that later.

Now I want to find out if there is and if so, what program it will be to manage e.g. CPU, GPU free., etc?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Those are not actually debloated but lately Samsung added it to Userdata partition (no more system apps) which will get wiped out on clean flashing (which is must while moving from stock to custom)and that's why it's not part of custom rom.

CPU GPU management have no or limited option with stock kernel. This ROM comes packed with stock kernel only. You may look for custom kernel if any available and there only you get help regarding these stuff. There is no scope here on this thread.

View attachment 5951497
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
Great! :) I see that an update is coming soon. It will be one of the first on your Custom ROM, so I don't want any mishaps to occur.

I'm not sure if I understand the complete update process correctly:

Of course, I understand that I should make a backup - for example, using TWRP.

Next is the ROM Tool S23 program and the "Prepare for dirty Flashing ROM" option.

I understand that this option will also uninstall modules in Magisk. Will it uninstall all modules? If not all, can I deactivate my OWN modules (ReVanced YT, Music, Shamiko, etc.) during the update and reactivate them later?

Now, the update process:

I start Odin.

The phone is in Download Mode.

BL -> BL + AP -> AP + CP -> CP + CSC -> HOME_CSC -> Flash.

Is that all? Will my data be preserved?

Will the "essential fix" not remove anything from my current installed apps or phone settings?

I apologize for the detailed thought process.; I don't want to be discouraged from using a Custom ROM because it works very well. Previously, my update process looked like this: Magisk - restore settings, update via OTA, install Magisk in the second slot.
