Installation and Download & Notes

Important :

- For this you needed rooted device. With rooting device

You will lose warranty

As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.

OTA won't work once you root device.

You can unroot device & relock bootloader by flashing stock firmware, but you can never restore tripped knox status back to 0x0. Certain knox features will not work once you have tripped knox even after re-locking BL

- ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Great Idea with Magisk Modul für S23.

I use long time this one for 1+ 8 Pro
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Noted thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] thepwrtank18:
How do you root the device beforehand?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
T03 Magisk Module ROM is now online for S918* XXU1AWBD firmware

.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Famcon:
Is thie T03 a full ROM or just a module to be installed with Magisk?

Do you know when "TweaksPro" will be available?

Many Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This thread is for magisk module only

There is separate thread available for full rom. Full rom support available only for S23 ultra

TweaksPro available available already
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Famcon:
Thanks for the prompt reply Dr.Ketan.

on the site there is no mencion that is working with S23 Ultra, see below
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Forget to update. Check ROMs - S23 page
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Famcon:
TOP! My Ultra will be arriving any time now, then I'll try Root and module T03. I'm still not sure if Tweaks is a Magisks Module of fill ROM. If kust a Module then I would buy it instead of T03. In that casa, is there a uncomplicated way via paypal to send the money to get tweaks?

Sorry for such basic question, but its all a bit new. KR, fc
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 3liminate:
Question: If I have Dr.Ketan's Full PreRooted ROM for S918B (T02), can I install this Magisk Module to give me the new features / update? Or should I download the full T03 PreRooted Rom (7GB) to ensure no problems... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
For this module you must update to new stock firmware first

Full ROM you can straightway install T03
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] asrah:
Is it just me, or is MediaFire forbidding us from downloading the ROM because "Files 2GB or larger are unable to be added to zip file."

No other way to download the ROM without zipping it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No one have yet to complainted.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] asrah:
I was able to download it by clicking through the folders, clicking on the ROM file link, and downloading it through the normal MediaFire download page.

Odd that the "drive" style page has the issue with downloading folders.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Didiz0:
Is it coming with the original Samsung camera app or gcam will be needed?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This is magisk module rom and retains all Samsung original apps, no gcam
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I got my s23 ultra today it was supposed to be a 918b/ds instead they sent a 9180. I am on awda I believe it is for t02 would work with it, when I check what firmware is available for this I only see 3 choices. And the one you want for t04 isn't on the site. So what would I need to do to be on t04?

Also, is it possible you will support the 0 version? I would rather flash the full one in Odin but I have the wrong model

Here is a screenshot of the firmware page
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
Could I get a link to T02 and T03?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Sometimes it works on one version +/- too. First update to latest available and try installing T04. In case device bootloops, Module have protection and after couple of reboot, device will boot without module. ALternatively you can boot device to safe module - and then normal reboot. This will disable module.

If module doesn't then you needs to wait till your device get appropriate version.

There is no plan to support full ROM for any other variant.

ROM installer can flash only latest version, previous link gets auto replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I checked and there is no matching firmware, if anyone has t03 on a server I would be so thankful..i dont know how long or if they will update to the correct firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I can give you some tips if you want to try it at your own risk

Get latest stock firmware + root + TWRP for your device

- Backup your super artition with TWRP Backup

- Download Full ROM (S918B variant) matching to your firmware base (security patch if doesn't match exactly)

- Extract AP*.tar.md5 from ROM zip - further Extract Super.img.lz4 from AP and further Extract it to get super.img

- Flash Extracted super.img from TWRP as image for super artition

See if device boots and everything works. In case anything wrong simply restore your super partition backup/flash stock
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
thank you, thats awesome. i am arguing with who i bought the 9180 from my cricket sim wont work in it at all. really weird.

they claim that i am being difficult because i am demanding they send the 918b/ds, that is what i paid for

(security patch if doesn't match exactly)<<what does this mean?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
as mentioned earlier i would need t03 full rom, but it isnt available, so how do i extract from it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Let me know when you have device ready with twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I am on windows and i have extracted down to super.imglz4, how do i extract further?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Which firmware you extracted ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
AP_S9180ZHU1AWBD but I don't have an isolated super.img yet just the lz4 one
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Check your inbox after 10 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
Thank you, if this works and i decide to keep this 0 series i will purchase the premium for this phone as i alwarys do with new phones, thank you for your help. I really dont want to send the phone back if its not neceessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I will be happy if it works for you, but just keep in mind, this method may or may not work in future. At presently I can not add support for more device for full ROM because of lack of time it needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vizzwa:
Hello Doc, been using your rom since note 3. I installed s23 plus magisk module rom and I'm getting constant ui reboot once module is removed it stops rebooting. I have no other module installed. what might be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You might be on non compatible firmware. What is your current setup?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vizzwa:
Build number -TP1A.220624.014.S916BXXU1AWBD

stock with magisk
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Gytole:
That's the S23+

This thread is for the S23 ULTRA.

They are not the same phone.

You need to go to the S23+ Forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Kindly read the thread title

You have old version of firmware, you needs to wait till your device gets update
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vizzwa:
Got it, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Thanks again dr. ketan. Only this time I applied magisk rom on S9180. I dont know why full-rom odin flash fail (stop at super.img).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Full ROM is only for S918B, Odin won't allow cross flashing.

If you are on same base,

Make super.img Backup

Extract super.img from ROM zip and to flash with TWRP as image file to super partition

If that doesn't work, restore your super.img backup

Update to T06 today( firmware update is always 10~20 days behind s918b), thanks again Dr. Ketan.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] scorpie67:
Hi,

haven't rooted devices for a long time. So I'm not sure what I need exactly.

I own a S916B/DS FW is S916BXXU1AWC8

Is this the right Magisk (Sygisk) to work with Magsik 26.1

Where do I get the "XDA S23 T*.apk"? I searched here on xda, but couldn't find a link, or is it just for the S23U like written in the instructions under Root & TWRP and I need something different? I have this one "ROM Installer S23 T06.apk" is this the same?

Do I keep TWRP after using "Magisk Module Rom"

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
1.Yes

2.Yes ROM Installer S23 T06.apk is current latest one

3.Yes

On the first page, the fourth post? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elevatorguy:
Does Magisk rom have the same features as the full rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If I remember no difference, except some features that needs to make ROM with base like System-RW/pre rooted etc which is not possible with magisk rom. You can compare ROM features mentioned in changelog post of both version of roms
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elevatorguy:
Great! Now just have to figure out an easier way to make sys rw. I would just buy the B variant but all Ebay listings say it won't with verizon but say the S9180 will. Life would be easier if I could find someone with a B variant working on VZW

Hello Dr Ketan -- For some reason When I have Rom installed on my S23 (Korean version), I am not able to install APK from file manager.

After I un-install Rom, then I can install APK again.

But with no Rom, I tried installed AdAway (with magisk installed and root) but root not able to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klnu2000:
Hello Dr Ketan

do you advice or its better to flash stock ROM with clean install and then flash your ROM or there is no different than installing your t07 by updating only ??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Flashing Magisk module install very small modified ROM and it won't update firmware. It is not only better but must update by flashing stock firmware everytime with new base and install according magisk module.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klnu2000:
Sorry i type my quastion in the wrong forum section 🙃

i mean if i was using you full ROM t06 and want to upgrade to t07
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
For that you don't need to flash stock firmware

Hi, just to know before installing your rom on my S23 911b...does it put away the warning messages at startup after having rooted (yellow triangle and red text)? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Normusmaxamus:
No it doesn't. You can't hide that error message with a snapdragon device on any rom. Custom or stock rooted. You must learn to ignore the error message if you wish to you use your device with root privileges.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Einheit-101:
Hello! I am very interested in buying a S23U. Before throwing 1000€ out the window i have 3 questions that may or may not be possible with this mod and other mods:

1: Is there a way to modify the quick settings? Usually on most Android devices the notification panel is completely bloated as hell and they say "you have to put at least 7 tiles into quick settings", which is annoying, as i only want 1 small row with a maximum of 6 tiles.

2: is it possible to modify the share menu? Usually there are 50 apps bloating the share menu with useless crap. Currently i am using an old, unstable xPosed module to hide ****ty apps so i have only 8 things in my share menu right now. Using Android without that is a nightmare. I dont expect that this module works on S23U.

3. Is there a status bar brightness swipe function somehow?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jameslfc5:
Hi everyone, just got the S23 Ultra, would like to root for magisk and the sole reason of having Google Pixel mods mainly the recorder app with transcription

Does anyone know if this works please? https://github.com/ayush5harma/PixelFeatureDrops
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jameslfc5:
I need this please ROM installer S23 T06 apk, I do not want T07 and that is all that is on the link
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mslezak:
Prerequisite :

Must have installed firmware S91*XXS1AWD1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 variant

So does this mean since I have installed AWD3, this Magisk ROM will not install? Using an S23 SM-S9110 Chinese variant thank you. I know Odin is picky about not allowing you to downgrade software versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Usually near matching works too. (Like last digit difference)

You can try it. If it doesn't support then device will bootloop, after couple of bootloop device will boot and rom module will auto disabled. In that case you can remove the module once device boot

Trying to install T08.

Im stuck at 'Installing Bootloop protector module' (about 30 min. now) how to fix this please ?

Comming from T07

Edit: Reflashed T07, now the installer went till the point where it asks for a reboot because update was done. After that i had a bootloop. Cleaned the rom before with magisk uninstaller zip, and when back on T07 i just let magisk install the files at first run and reboot. That was all before starting the T08 apk. Did i go wrong somewhere ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Every step is in the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
T08.1 is Online now

Now Installer supports KernelSU

i have the same problem mod 1.3

any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoblinHero:
Disable this plugin in Magisk unless you really need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
Hi dr.ketan

I've been thinking about making a change, and I'm curious if it will be a desired change or a hassle...

I want to switch to your second project, the Magisk Module ROM.

Mainly, it's because I want to use Magisk Delta and some of Samsung's solutions that you had to remove. Of course, the update frequency is also in favor of the Magisk Module ROM. Additionally, there has been a recent issue with compatibility in the CTS profile match.

Moreover, from what I can see, I will gain all the features from the Full ROM on the Magisk Module ROM as well. And I'll be able to get rid of unnecessary apps, the typical bloatware.

I'm just wondering about RW (read-write)?

There are Magisk modules that allow writing... The question is, whether I'll use it or if it's just an unnecessary fancy feature for one function that I will use myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Magisk Module can not change system ro to rw, it will remain same as yo are have before installing Module. So on stock + Magisk module - You will have system-RO only and you can't edit system files.

If your device supports full System-RW ROM then I recommend to use that only and leaving this for non supported ROM.

Latest T10 will have Magisk Alpha and safetynet should pass and much better Magisk Hide function (Needs to apply esential fix) without issue unless you try to manipulate yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Marucins:
I understand... will you encounter such a project?

GitHub - HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs: Make system partition become read-write (it is also possible without Magisk)

Make system partition become read-write (it is also possible without Magisk) - HuskyDG/magic_overlayfs

github.com

The author says that the module allows for modifying system partitions in the F2FS system.

So, are you saying that I should stick with RW and not bother with Magisk Module ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
None magisk module can convert system ro to rw but it allow you to make changes systemlessly. That requires little skill, knowledge and understanding how it works.

It's all up to you to go with magisk midule/system rw full ROM

Read everything carefully and select which suits you best
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
Hi, I've tried it on my S911B/DS, it says I need to update firmware from AWF1 to AWG1, shows a message of being downloaded, it then proceeds and asks for a reboot.

After a reboot, the phone is in a bootloop and won't boot, but 2nd boot works.

In Magisk manager the ROM is disabled.

The CSC is apparently TPA (Panama).

What would be a good CSC to flash for AT&T/T-Mobile wifi-calling and VoLTE in the US?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You must be on Aug security patch to use module
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
Do you have any recommendation for this?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It should work, If not then same will happen again. ROM module have bootloop protection which automatically disable module if device goes to bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
Yes, which is awesome, had a bootloop completely mess up my OnePlus 8, I've learned that lesson the hard way :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
I flashed it, phone rebooted and started boot-looping.

It finally showed me an option in recovery to do factory reset, which I did. So phone is booted and going through the setup.

I'll re-root it and try the ROM again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
Still prompted me to install firmware:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shpitz461:
It exited the installer with no prompts.

I opened the installer again and it said to reboot.

I rebooted and now I have the ROM installed and enabled in Magisk :)

I just applied the 'essential fix' and rebooted.

I installed T10(s9180 update from Jun to Aug) without problems. But blue tooth kept disconnected if I use watch 5 pro and galaxy buds pro at the same time.

According to post, requirement for firmware AWA6, my device is currently on AWC8. Can I still root and install TWRP with current firmware of even updating to AWF7?

Thanks in advance, I'm a loyal follower of the team breaktroughs!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If you have S918B then I recommend Full rom. You will have both the options A13/A14

Also it's includes everything root/twrp/ROM all in on go
