I'd recommend getting twrp first (see this post), then flashing magisk from twrp. Decryption doesnt work yet, but you can join the telegram group for twrp

I use LSPosed and also the Firefds Kid (Tiramisu). Everything works perfectly. The only thing that is buggy is fingerprint to unlock the look screen after restarting the device instead of the password, otherwise everything runs fine.

@waterpolo

Thanks for co-posting this topic. I have currently had less time to update the topic.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] florof:
I gonna try your method soon. do it erase all datas and parameters ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] The_SloPro:
I'd recommend doing it with twrp. Both will erase data tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] darwusch:
Will both also erase my files in the internal SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
With both methods, you would have to wipe your smartphone once, which would also delete all of your device's data.

You can simply create a backup with your PC in advance and create a Samsung/Google backup to be on the safe side.

Of course, it is a bit of work to set everything up again, but you only have to repeat the process once.

You should only choose if you want to use the root method from me or TWRP.

For TWRP I give no support.

First of all you have to consider that it is currently not possible to use a system pin/password in TWRP > It is not possible to unlock in TWRP, so you would have to live without a password or remove your password every time you want to enter TWRP. Very complex, even more if you have a sudden crash because of a wrong module and you can't get into TWRP because of the password...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] darwusch:
Ah, ok thanks. I thought the internal SD would keep my own files but then I will make a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] rentofer:
Hi..I'm a little starter with this method of custom rom.

What's the difference between that and a flashable rom in twrp like Beyond, by example?

Is it possible to update in the future?

Thanks for all to you..
[Samsung Galaxy S23] The_SloPro:
I wouldn't advise using dr.ketan magisk rom - it caused many bugs and issues to me. You can try it out for yourself and see tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
There are currently no real custom ROMs for the S23 and S23+.

Flashable ROM`s are modifications of the original ROM. So you have e.g. OneUI 5.1 and e.g. Beyond or Dr.Ketan makes a modification for OneUI 5.1 - Firmware v.XX, so that one unlocks and extends certain modifications. But you have to be careful that the creator updates them before you do a firmware update. Otherwise, you have a new firmware update but the modified ROM is not tuned to it and it comes to system errors or even worse.

For the S23 Ultra Dr.Ketan has a Full-ROM, which can also be updated in the system as soon as Dr.Ketan updates it on his server.

You have the option to simply root OneUI normally, either with my method (see page 1) or use TWRP (no support from me).

If you root your ROM (OneUI) you can perform updates, but no longer in the system, but only via Odin. In addition, your warranty of your device expires. (Please just read everything on the first page for this! I have described everything in detail).

Has anyone flashed firmware from a different region? I have a Chinese S23 and would prefer the US software, but it refuses to flash a different region. I haven't seen anyone here do that, with their bootloader unlocked. I tried flashing US unlocked firmware via Odin and the phone was in a soft brick "An error occured while updating the software." The only way to fix it was to unlock the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
Awesome! But how do I know which of the five versions to choose for my first time root?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] mslezak:
You have to use a ROM that is at least the same release date as the one on your phone. Normally that would be the one with the most recent date. However, if your home region has an earlier ROM date, maybe you pick one that is the same date as your home region. Reason being that if you want to flash stock again, you have to use a ROM with the same date or later. It's actually ROM version but on Samfirm I've found the same release dates (different regions) are basically the same "version" for Odin. Although you can confirm with the last 4 of the ROM name (like AWD1). Just from bouncing between China and Hong Kong ROMs.

Is there some info/data/files one should save/store from ones original (unused)l S23 before rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Scr@tchy:
Hi,

i can´t flash the patched AP-file. When i start i don´t have the OEM unlock feature in my developer menu. To enable the feature i flash the awc8 firmware. After boot i skip all,no network,no simcard and set date to feb.01.23. Then i enable the developer menu. At the first time there is no oem unlock. I disable the auto update and reboot. Now i have oem unlock. I copy the AP-file to the phone and patch with Magisk, i test the 26.1 (100) and the canari (102) version, after finish patching i copy the file back to pc. Start odin 3.14.1 load the files and start flashing. At the end i got a fail. only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (init_boot). I don´t no what i´m doing wrong??
[Samsung Galaxy S23] DaReDeViL:

[Samsung Galaxy S23] Scr@tchy:

What is the best way to get rid of this annoying pop-up that appears from time to time?

"Access denied unauthorized changes were made to your phone"
[Samsung Galaxy S23] DaReDeViL:
You should turn off your phone and once it is turned off and unplugged, hold volume UP and DOWN and plug your USB-C cable from PC to phone. Now, you'll get the invitation to unlock your bootloader. CAUTION 1 ⚠️: this is an irreversible action even if you relock your bootloader after rooting. CAUTION 2 ⚠️ : your phone will be FULLY wiped.

Not at the current time.

I think for the S23 Ultra a custom rom like Lineage OS or Pixel will never exist, because it would simply not be possible to include all the "features" in the rom like S-Pen function etc.

For the S23 and S23+ I could imagine it, but I have not yet read any approach in this regard.

Hello everyone, I've parted ways with my S23 and as a result, I won't be able to provide any further support regarding rooting and similar matters in the future. (Of course, I can still help with small questions.)

I stayed with my Samsung S23 and use it as a daily device.

The current rooting method is still functional for now. If there are any changes due to an update to OneUI 6, unfortunately, you'll have to try experimenting on your own.

The root method can be performed as usual with OneUI 6.0!

But you can also use the alternative "Easy-Root" method!

I see that @waterpolo is consistently dedicated to keeping you updated with the latest developments, which creates a mutual exchange of information on the topic.

I have updated some links again.

Took out the SaftyNetPatch and replaced it with the PlayIntegrityFix.

Some listed modules are a bit older, but can be installed without hesitation and then updated in Magisk. (I will update them at times)

KernelSU are okey, if you dont use bank aps. Kernel SU right now dont hide OEM unlok to aps. While magisk are hiding that and bank aps working like charm!

What i did, i instaled kernelsu as writed on theyr page ( i downloaded kernel su version same my phone got stock kernel, then i unpacked kernelname boot.img file, renamed it boot.img, packed back to boot.tar , used odin only boot.tar on AP slot, rebooted phone and root was there. )

Works all magisk modules on kernel su too, bet when i understand that banking aps not working, instaled latest magisk apk, grant root acces in kernelsu app, then on magisk app was able to direct install / patch what needet for magisk. So, if want better hiding options for aps, magisk is way better!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] vicky_ag:
I am bit confused on how do I get OneUI 6 on the rooted phone? I assume the steps are:

1. Download Firmware

2. Unzip the file

3. Get the AP to the phone and open Magisk

4. In Magisk, patch the AP file

5. Open Odin. Go to download mode on phone (from the original instructions -

Once your device is turned off > Hold Vol. UP + DOWN and Connect your USB-C cable from PC to your Phone. (Now start your Phone in Download Mode.) > Klick 1 time Vol. UP to start Download Mode.

Now in Odin your Device must be connected like "0:COM (Number)" in blue.)

6. Now take from Unpacked Firmware.zip >

BL to BL

AP to MagiskPatched.tar

CP to CP

#Update_Firmware - If you already have Magisk on your device and only make a firmware update take only the "HOME_CSC_OXM"

9. When the flash is finished, Odin says 1/Successful. Then restart?

Or am I missing steps?

Edit: Tried this and now I am stuck in infinite bootloop. and I honestly don't know how to go back to the download screen as no key combination works.

Edit2: Got the keys working somehow. Tried patched AP with full wipe. Dint work. Tried couple of times. It wouldn't work. So, finally had to do a full update i.e. without the patched AP. Then got option to do a factory reset - which was odd as it meant the full wipe didn't work. So with the factory reset it finally worked. Now need to redo the root. And also lesson learned. Need to backup my data before trying new steps.

Edit3: So, it seems like the new update SM911/B India has some issue. It just wouldn't work without factory reset even if I use CSC_OXM file to wipe data.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] nemesis0303:
As the EUX firmwares are available on sammobile again I updated my rooted S23 from S911BXXS1AWD1 (May 2023) with magisk 26.1 to S911BXXS3AWIF (October 2023) with magisk 26.4.

I always keep my previous firmware files (including the magisk_patched-file) to that I can try to revert to the previous firmware in case of boot loops. In this case that might not have been possible because the bootloader version changed from 1 to 3 and I read somewhere that it is not possible to go back to an older bootloader version, fortunately it was not neccesary to try.

Now I am on bootloader version 3 with Android 13 and ready to try an update to Android 14 (S911BXXS3BWK5, still bootloader version 3), so I might be able to revert to S911BXXS3AWIF in case of boot loops.

Has anyone successfully updated a rooted S23 to Android 14 by patching the AP-file with magisk (26.4)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ArnysI:
its so long way to root phone..

i used kernelsu (same kernel version as phones kernel), renamed kernelsu...img to boot.img, packed it with 7zip as boot.tar file,

on odin use ap slot, picked boot.tar file..

Phone restart, root alredy here, install kernelsu app, instal magisk manager, inside kernelsu app grant magisk app root acces.

open magisk, , forgot if root acces popup was or wasnt, but then i patched necesary files directly from magisk app, rebooted, once more back to magisk app, asked soemthing, rebooted one more, and now magisk are patched succesfuly too.

i did it with beta oneui 6, but i gues it works with satable same way.

Kernel version vs. Android version​

Please note: Kernel version and Android version are not necessarily the same!

If you find that your kernel version is android12-5.10.101, but your Android system version is Android 13 or other; please don't be surprised, because the version number of the Android system is not necessarily the same as the version number of the Linux kernel; The version number of the Linux kernel is generally consistent with the version of the Android system that comes with the device when it is shipped. If the Android system is upgraded later, the kernel version will generally not change. If you need to flash, please always refer to the kernel version!!

but where you find wk5 version, latest i found are

[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
It is actually not a long way at all to root the device, yes there are a few steps. It looks like a lot in the description, but that's because I've listed it in detail to make it really easy for "beginners". Once you've done it, when you update, it's just "patch new AP with Magisk and use the patched AP instead of the original AP", "furthermore you have to use the Home_CSC to keep your data during an update". So 2 important steps that you have to follow, nothing more.

But you can also use the Easy Root method as I have noted, there you have to pay much less attention and the device automatically makes Magisk incl. TWRP on it.

It is up to you.

I had never had my root get lost before.

You can also use TWRP and flash the Magisk.zip via TWRP, should be easier and you can't do anything wrong.

You could also try using Magisk Canary, which I updated yesterday, maybe it will solve your problem.

The tutorial you gave is exactly the same as what I describe only with pictures :O

The rooting process remains the same.
