[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
There is no way to root them that will trigger Knox.

There won't be, Knox is a physical resistor that is attached to the board of your motherboard and cuts through as soon as you root your system (I don't know if unlocking the bootloader is enough to trigger Knox...).

My information comes from the fact that I tried to send my device to Samsung for repair and then communicated with the technician who told me exactly that.

There are certainly ways to repair Knox, but you will need to open your device and find out where the resistor is located.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] impactor:
Have they rejected your warranty repair based on triggered Knox?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
The warranty expired anyway as soon as Knox triggered.

I wanted you to repair Knox, it would have cost around €400 for the S23 as you would have to replace the circuit board...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] impactor:
So they confirmed that tripping Knox voids warranty?

Can i take this action for install an gain rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] funiewski:
@jrkruse your latest rom are gone on telegram, would you like to post link here? or pm link to me?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Git226:
I rooted my S23 using this method and have successfully made subsequent Android 13 security patches using the no_wipe userdata file. I'm now looking to update to Android 14. Will this method still work? If so, I assume I'll need to use the force_wipe AIO file for the initial update?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Your probably going to want to use a rom with encryption removed because on a14 twrp does bot decrypt encrypted data so if you use on stock rom you will not be able to access internal storage or data with twrp. The AIO files will still work I have changed them a bit so read OP
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
You can post it wherever you like

[Samsung Galaxy S23] funiewski:
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] carpet55:
My new S23+ arrive tomorrow (February 7th 2024) and I wanted to ask, if I should update the phone to the newest firmware, and then root it, or root it with the firmware it came out of the box.

(I am asking, because I know from rooting my old A40 that for every firmware the developers had to make a new file. And the restrictions of the bootloader-version were horrible.)
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Git226:
If you look above at post #53, @jrkruse clarified that TWRP can't decrypt data with the newest firmware (Android 14), so if you are looking to root with A14, you'd be able to get root with the AIO file, but you wouldn't get TWRP.

Personally, I'm underwhelmed with the new features provided by Android 14 and would be fine sticking with 13 except for the fact that I'll no longer be able to flash the latest security updates. I'd be interested to know what others are doing in this situation, i.e., Flash a decrypted custom ROM as jrkruse suggested? Upgrade the stock ROM and use other backup methods (e.g., Swift) instead of TWRP? or stay with Android 13 and forego any further security updates...?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] carpet55:
Thank you for clarifiying, I didn't understand post #53 fully!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] carpet55:
I read also on the Samsung forum, that some of their apps don't work an Android 14 anymore. That is always the thing when you upgrade your Android version, some apps may be not working anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
The RW rom I posted has encryption removed so twrp will be able to read data on a14
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kinclong:
Is this android 13 or 14? Is it rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kinclong:
Hello, i rooted my s23 S911B successfully on android 13, but when i try to change cpu governor to performance mode the phone restart,and keep restart until i change cpu governor back to normal, is this bcoz the root is not support system RW ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Pretty sure that has nothing to do with the system being rw
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kinclong:
I thought changing cpu governor is modify one of the system files coz i think it needs RW system
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kinclong:
So this is android 13 rom or android 14?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
14
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kinclong:
Can i access android/data with this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
You have root so why wouldn’t you be able to
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Op Updated with USERDATA_AIO that will remove encryption on stock firmware and make system RW
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I have figured out issue and will update in next few days to support one UI 6.1
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
updated AIO should work on One UI 6.1
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
hello my csc is ksa is there any change will be on my csc when try root as first post?

thank you mr jrkruse

​
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
the csc is just decrypted with some mods like call recording added to all csc and a spam call blocking etc. Nothing will change your csc code unless you want to change it
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
can you patch warning boot logo? or instructions to mod

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S23] athlo9sky:
deleted
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
I installed the Android 13 ROM in the first post

In fact, this is the easiest root I have seen. thank you mr jrkruse

But I ran into a small problem of not being able to share photos from Samsung Studio only

When i click on the image sharing icon, the program exits, knowing that the image can be shared

From other programs such as fx file browser

Has anyone had this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
did you format data in twrp when you installed
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
No, but if it is necessary, I will do it now
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
that will fix your issues most likely
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
all done many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23] megatron_lives:
I'm not sure I'm doing this right as it always hangs on boot on the samsung logo. This is what I have tried:

1: Restore to stock firmware, boot and setup pin

2: Reboot to download and flash userdata with wipe

3: when twrp boots install magisks

What am I doing wrong? Also, I want to flash magisks alpha, can I do that when TWRP reboots if I want from OTG?>

I assume also that if i can get this to work then in TWRP i can view data as on the phone without encryption??
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
you need to be flashing the Force wipe USERDATA_AIO with the full firmware using the regular csc all at the same time. Try that and let me know if still issue
[Samsung Galaxy S23] megatron_lives:
thanks, ill try that now. i flashed magisks.zip from internal and rebooted to system

done as above as still hangs on samsung galaxy logo

i flashed the latest evr firmware (SM-S911B_EVR_S911BXXU3CXCF_fac) if that is causing issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I just updated OP To USERDATA_AIO_V7 which will fix the boot issue

Reflash full firmware again with new USERDATA
[Samsung Galaxy S23] megatron_lives:
thank you so much. I'll try that now and report back.

can i flash magisk alpha myself instead of that included?

Done, it worked perfectly, thank you so much!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] athlo9sky:
Ideally, you can flash the magisk already after booting and configuring the system.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
you can flash whatever magisk you want
[Samsung Galaxy S23] megatron_lives:
thanks got it working now, you are a legend!!

Edit, I'm getting a message though from Configuration message 'Service provide update: Couldn't set up service provider features" - is this related to the USERDATA? I haven't had it before when flashing stock rom?

Is it possible please to get a version that doesn't remove any apps i.e. doesn't debloat? thank you so much for all your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
delete /system/priv-app/SDMConfig app
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
No you have to delete stuff to make enough room to make system rw
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
I feel like trying this version

can i downgrade to android 13 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I thought you already did
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
In fact, my experience was on the first version of Android 14, which is S911BXXU3BWJM.

As usual, Samsung allows for rollback after the first release to the previous one, but I am afraid that this latest version cannot be rolled back after flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
It can but data might need to be wiped
[Samsung Galaxy S23] goxzvt:
I wanted to try, but I'm using the Drketan ROM, can I still try it? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
That would be pointless as his rom is already decrypted and rw
[Samsung Galaxy S23] goxzvt:
The thing is I wanted to update since you have the One UI 6.1 and I think they're still on 6.0. But I'll check.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Im pretty sure he updated his rom to 6.1 but you can update firmware from stock firmware and use this his rom is decrypted so you can go the no wipe option when doing so
[Samsung Galaxy S23] goxzvt:
Oh I see thanks a lot, I wanted to install the update but I've lost myself pretty soon reading the installation PDF since there isn't an explanation on how do update, I'm very noob at this, so basically I just flash the firmware with TWRP with the no wipe option right? If you're not busy and I don't disturb I would appreciate some help
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Yes flash full firmware with home csc and no wipe userdata
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ArnysI:
Hello!

Thanks for this simple root and TWRP method.

All works , I can access data in TWRP , root works , safety net / pif works too, banking aps no problems .

Only thing, "

If you are getting a Configuration message 'Service provide update: Couldn't set up service provider feature

Delete /system/priv-app/SDMConfig"

I got this message, and I can't delete this not in TWRP( error 1 or, soon will edit with pic) , not with root explorer.

Is it only for me, any workaround or need reflash ? ;/
[Samsung Galaxy S23] darek1609:
Hello, please help me, after unlocking the bootloader and root, will it still be possible to update the phone via WiFi and will ROOT stay in the phone or be deleted after the update?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] funiewski:
disable cid manager
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ArnysI:
Thanks. Well, that app are in priv-app folder, but i cant find it in apps list , and root system uninstaler cant find it too. And, disabling it will not fix deleting isue, right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] funiewski:
No need uninstall, freeze, with titanium or similar
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
You have to mount system rw in twrp do as follows

mount system

open terminal or adb shell and type

mount -o remount,rw /system_root

press enter

now you can delete stuff in twrp

I will update AIO with a recovery that you wont have to do above and I will have AIO delete SDMConfig app
[Samsung Galaxy S23] assuhimi:
Thanks for this great effort

Is it possible to make one for the system RW Only, and have the rest of the modifications, such as debloat and CSC, optional and installed later from the recovery?

i messed some apps like gmail ,maps,youtube and other

thanks alot
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
System must be debloated to make room for rw and if you don’t want modded csc just reflash the home csc from stock firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I mean you can download gmail and maps and YouTube from playstore
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ivixmax:
I used the full wipe option and all good but now my s23 256gb is 128gb...what the ****?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Because you didn’t format data in twrp after you install root zip and or one of the CSC zips. Reboot back to twrp and format dara
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ivixmax:
Oh ****! Thank you very much😉.Nice work
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Added RW Twrp to Userdata recovery file. Below is file so you dont have to do the USERDATA process all over

I'm about to buy an S23 911B do I have to pay attention to something to be sure this will work? The 911B what is Snapdragon or Exinos?

It doesn't matter which version of android is on the phone, same if a13 or a14 will this mod all still work?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
This userdata_aio is made for a14 but it should still work on a13
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Snapdragon, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
All s23 models are snapdragon

Edit: S23 FE might not be snapdragon depending on where you are but I don’t support the FE model anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Oh I thought there was also an Exynos version. Doesn't matter, I got one now. See you next days, if I need some help?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
May I ask you where do you live? Not because I'm curious, just for know when you can answer.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] qlenlen:
Hello, teacher jrkruse, l admire your work very much because the magic of making system RW. l wanna try to unlock system by myself, so l use make_ext4fs to turn system.img from erofs to ext4. Though l boot successfully, l cannot mount system to rw. Is there any step l missing? l have disabld avb and modified fstab file, so l am very confusing. If you can give me some advice, l'll appreciate so much!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
How did you modified fstab if it is ro?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] qlenlen:
Thanks for your reply! l remove avb, and avb=vb_sys, and avbpubkey stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
And this modified the fstab?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I mean if you’re using regular twrp it doesn’t mount any of the logical partitions rw by default so you would need to do this manually in terminal or adb. First mount the partition in twrp then run command to mount system rw

mount -o remount,rw /system_root
[Samsung Galaxy S23] qlenlen:
Thanks for your reply! In fact, l am making img by using make_ext4fs in Ubuntu20.04 instead of in twrp. And l exec mount -o remount,rw in termux after flashing system.img(ext4), but l cannot remount system to be RW 😲
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
wow, tested and really appreciated. Great how everything is resolved automatically. A great job. I have a small problem with the developer options crashing which I think has more to do with the heavy debloat I did. I can always access it in safe mode, it's not a real problem. I am more than satisfied. I tried both versions, to get an idea of what and how it does it. Supersexy. My compliments

just a question, what is this: S911BXXS3BWL3_SYSTEM_RW_F2FS.7z ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
And another one, for a full twrp backup which partitions schould I select?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ArnysI:
I got a lot app crash , it happens totally random with random app, is it only for me ? When I uninstall and reinstall , problem are solved , but sometimes it repeat.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Did you format data
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ArnysI:
In twrp where need to type " yes" to format it ?

No, i didn't format it there, will do it later, thanks for reminder 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S23] bigtom624:
Thank you so much for this. I can't believe how easy it was. I've been rooting since the Vibrant and this was like the old days
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
The strange phenomenon of developer options crashing becomes for me a little more complicated. As already told, in safe mode I have no problems accessing it and I also discovered that after the first reboot it is still available, but I found out that all the modules in Magisk now appear deactivated. I reactivated them and restarted the phone, the modules now appear active, but developer options crashes again. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't think it depends on the heavy debloat because I started all from the beginning and this time I didn't debloat, just to be clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Its either you didn’t format data or its a module you are running or you deleted something you shouldn’t have. So I suggest you reboot to twrp format data don’t install any modules then report back. If still persist then we will try some other things
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Ciao, oh yes i did format data, directly before reboot. I have just 3 modules installed : safetynet, ad root enabler and Nuked. I try now without the latest two, one after the other, than I will report what happened
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Well?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Good morning, I'll update you. When I wrote to you yesterday I was going out and to make a long story short I wasn't very precise in naming the modules. Which are these: Adb root enabler and Nuked Analitic. The other obviously is Play Integrity Fix and not Safetynet which no longer works. Having said that, I returned late yesterday and postponed the test until this morning. I have good news, you were right: it's the Adb root enabler module's fault. Now I removed it and the problem no longer occurs. I had installed it more out of habit than necessity, I can easily live without it. Thank you, your intuition was right.

I also wanted to ask you something else. Fastbootd isn't there, is it? Can we think about patching the recovery? There's a script on GitHub, by Johx22 if I remember correctly, that does the job in a couple of clicks. I'm asking because I don't want to mess up the twrp. Or is it better not, better to keep fingers away? Maybe it should have been done before installing the twrp, honestly now that everything works perfectly I'm hesitant to do strange experiments.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
There is no reboot fastboot option in the reboot section in twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Yes, it is endeed. It looks like the normal fastboot, and the command fastboot reboot fastboot does nothing at all. So I thought there is no fastbootd there.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Its fastbootd that’s all Samsung supports
[Samsung Galaxy S23] aaatso:

(SM-S911B)(Last Firmware)

Hello, I have used the USER-DATA AIO for clean flash.

I have completely reset my phone.

Now I have noticed the following >

I'm missing the function to mute individual parts of the app notifications.

For example, I don't have the setting to change the notification sound for Samsung emails.

Is this intentional due to debloating?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I guess you would have to show me because I don’t understand what you’re saying post a screenshot and show me
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I have this
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Ramme:
Yes, it's a bit difficult to describe.

I was previously always able to set the sound in the notification settings for the e-mail app or other apps, but now there is no option there. There was always another category in the notification settings.

Maybe someone else can have a look and show me exactly what I mean, that would be really nice.

(To do this, hold your finger on an app, click on the (i) symbol and open the notifications.)

Here is an example video > hopefully you understand my question.

Right, and where do you change the tone for your emails?

Normally you can change the tone for each individual e-mail address in a submenu in this menu.

Edit2:

I found an example in the Samsung forum.

The category: Notification categories is missing

You must have something in the debloat list that deletes this option.

It is already an important function of the system.

Hi JR

Today I noticed that I can't print. So I restored my twrp backup, but after that the phone didn't boot. I think I am missing something, which partitions do I need for a full twrp backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
I have no clue what your talk about printing. I use my phone to print stuff on a printer all the time as far as backups you are probably on one ui 6.1 you can’t restore and older firmware backup without flashing full firmware of that build first.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
I didn't explain myself well. I didn't mean to say that it's up to you, I probably did the damage myself. Now everything is fine, but the question was another. Since my twrp backup didn't work I figured I hadn't selected all the necessary partitions. So I ask you: which partitions should I select for backup?

I'm not on 6.1, but 6.0
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Super partition and data boot image and vendor boot image. Its fine to restore backups of same firmware but if you have updated firmware to a newer build than your back up is then its probably not going to work
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Also if you weren’t rw with encryption removed before how did you make a backup because if you were encrypted that backup would be worthless
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
I did the backup just few days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Do I need to make all rw first?

which partitions?

Edit: sorry I haven't seen your first reply. My backup was Boot, super, data, and recovery. But not Vendor. was this my mistake?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
What are restoring in your backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] moresat:
Sorry JR I don't understand your question.

Maybe you haven't read my edit before?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] zAllahu:
Hello, Is it possible to edit system files through an application with root access? Like for example ES file Explorer? I do not have access permission with RW system. Editing via TWRP only?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
You can edit files with a file manager. I us root explorer. If you can’t delete a system file or edit something it could be magisk modules causing the issue or zygisk enabled in magisk or other overlay apps. This is why I suggest using twrp if you are unable to do with a file manager
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jrkruse:
Added S9110 model support
[Samsung Galaxy S23] zAllahu:
