[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Make sure to backup any of your important data before proceeding! You've chose to do these modifications to your device! If you mess up any of the steps, I will try to help you.

Prerequisites

ADB Platform Tools

Samsung Android USB drivers

Unlocked bootloader

Odin 3.14.1 must be downloaded on your PC (3.14.4 works too.)

A bvN or bgN GSI (other GSIs may or may not work, I haven't tested them.)

Installing TWRP

Reboot to downloadmode by shutting down your phone, holding both volume buttons then plugging cable in PC and then in the phone.

Open Odin3, in AP slot select recovery.tar, in USERDATA slot select vbmeta_disabled_R.tar and make sure to have AutoReboot off in Odin3 options. After that flash!

After the flash has completed, hold power button + volume down until download mode dissapears, after that quickly hold powerbutton + volume up until your phone boots into TWRP.

Go to wipe -> format data and type yes

After that, go to advanced -> terminal and type multidisabler, then repeat this step 1 more time.

Now reboot, go to install and flash Dynapatch-v1.5.zip (you can also sideload by going to advanced, ADB sideload, swipe to sideload, connect phone to PC, open adb platform tools, adb sideload *file*)

Now you got TWRP on your phone! You can install a GSI or keep stock rom.

Installing GSI:

Open TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data -> Type yes

Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> select Dalvik, Data, Cache and swipe.

Install -> click select image at the bottom right of TWRP -> Select your GSI.img (make sure you extract your GSI from img.xz to img, do not just rename) -> Select as system image and then flash.

If you chose to install NikGapps, or any other Gapps package then flash that one too right after flashing GSI. (make sure you click select zip at the bottom right of twrp)

And you're done! Enjoy your new GSI!

If you need any help, just comment on this thread and I will try my best to help you.

NOTE: I DID NOT MAKE THIS RECOVERY, WHO EVER MADE IT, PLEASE PM ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU CREDITS​
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Hi, nice development, but which or which stable GSI can fit this phone and work as stock)?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
I heard that Alphadroid is quite a nice and decent GSI for it. I didn't test it though, I only tested phh Pixel Experience 13 and it was nice, and fast.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Bro hi, just installed twrp, can you please specifically specify which of the 5 items need to download that particular Alphadroid img? - https://sourceforge.net/projects/alphadroid-project/
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
That is not alphadroid gsi. Heres a link for actual Alphadroid gsi: https://github.com/KoysX/treble_alpha_gsi/releases

Do not download the RO one if you want to do some props editing.

You can download the Gapps variant which includes google apps or the vanilla one. Up to you.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Could you also provide a link where you can download NikGapps, I decided to install separately and put GSI vanilla
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Sure, https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-T/16-Jul-2023/
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Which is the best one to download?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
I flashed the core but for some reason I got red lines at the end and google didn't install after flashing and going to desktop
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Well, format data, reinstall rom and NikGapps. I know its kind of a janky process but it may work.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
I reinstalled everything but still nothing works :D
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Core is the most lightest, only contains Play store and some important google stuff. You can go for other variants, such as full, contains everything you'd find on a stock device.

You can try another rom, or you can try the gapps variant of alphadroid.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
That's the one I flashed but still gives an error, cleared the date and tried again, didn't work. What do you advise me to do? I don't want the full, there's a lot of unnecessary junk in there.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
You can try to redownload the core variant, or use other variants such as basic or omni, perhaps your core might have corrupted somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Okay, thx.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Update me if the gapps works, if not I will be more than happy to help you!
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Tried flashing basic, didn't help, problem remains the same. I have a question for you, am I doing the right thing when I flash via TWRP, should I flash magisk first and then flash nikgapps via magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
You should format data before flashing any Gapps. First you flash gsi, then nikgapps after that magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
At the end, I get this:

E:Unable to unlock /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 for flashing: (null)

E:Unable to unlock /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 for flashing: (null)
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
You flash gapps via TWRP, not magisk if you're trying to say that.

Did you run multidisabler in advanced -> terminal in the TWRP? This may fix this issue. If not I will try to help you more.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Prescribed multidisabler before GSI flashing, yes, now formatted the date and don't know what to do now. Should I write multidisabler again before flashing nikgapps?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Did you also flash dynapatch before gsi flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Yes, I threw dynapatch into the root of explorer and flashed that zip.... but at the end I also got some red writing.

P.s - could we discuss this somewhere else? Just have to wait for time to write a post.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Yeah sure, do you have telegram? I can DM you my telegram so we can discuss there.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
sure, @tumesson
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
I have 2 questions, you can install gsi from android 13? And, does it disable anything? Like Mobile AP, or wired earphones?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Yes, you can install gsi if you have android 13 on your device. I dont know what do you mean by mobile ap, wired headphones work, but you need to make a workaround to make them work (Refer to https://xdaforums.com/t/pixel-experience-plus-on-galaxy-a22-4g-sm-a225m-sm-a225f.4475557/ for more)
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
I mean Mobile Wifi Hotspot, does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
It works on pixel experience+ 13 gsi, i don't know about others.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
Thanks for answering, I'm going to try this, one last question, do i need a micro sd card for this or i can just sideload everything?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
Nevermind, I installed it, it works fine, now i just got to root it, just hoping to not break anything like the imei
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
Question, How to root from gsi? there are guides out there but for android 11, and the bootloader differs from android 13.

I don't really want to root my phone, but otherwise I won't be able to use wired headphones
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
You can download latest magisk.apk in github, then rename the magisk.apk to magisk.zip and flash in twrp, also don't worry, they fixed the imei issue bug, and with root, you can make your phone so much better!
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
Hi, can you please come on Telegram, I have something I want to tell you and ask you.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Ssaldias10:
Just got everything fixed, running Pixel Experience 13 and everything is working fine so far, kudos for the guide, my phone feels totally refreshed
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
bro, telegram please.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] eres_:
did you use the recovery in this post (to install the rom), or the computer?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] eres_:
Did you solve the problem? (I'm trying, but without success).
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] tumesson:
What's your problem? Do you have it too?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
He used the computer to install recovery, then phone (most likely) to install gsi
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] eres_:
My a22 4g does not install Gsi, the same error logs appear. Computer must be the solution, but I don't have it for now..
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] eres_:
probably... I'll try again and come back with info.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] takiyo:
hi, will this guide works on android 13? I remembered few months ago, I failed installing GSI on android 12 and I downgraded to android 11 for it to work. Now I'm back with the stock OS running Android 13 BIT 5 A225FXXS5DWD1 and I can't downgrade to android 11 anymore. I just noticed that TWRP got uninstalled by itself, maybe while patching the stock android 13 FW? Is there any way I can have TWRP on my android 13 samsung A22 4G back? I want to use GSI again
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Yes. This guide works on android 13. You can also patch the stock recovery for fastbootd support.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] takiyo:
glad to hear that.

About the fastbootd... in the files, there is recovery.tar, i'd assume it's the TWRP? do i need it for installing pixel experience GSI?

and the vbmeta_disabled_R.tar, there's letter "R" in it, which may lead to android R (A11)? Will this still work on android T (A13)? Thank you for your reply
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] takiyo:
Thank you so much, I got TWRP working! I just replaced recovery.tar with twrp.tar and replace dynapatch with dynapatch-v2. All credits goes to @physwizz2 and @a127f_res on telegram
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Congrats, nice!
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] Sina.M:
Hi. bro i also have your problem. Could you solve the problem? pls help me
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
can anyone help me? it works and got installed but it wont boot to android, just stuck on boot animation.

(Pixel Experience Plus 13 GSI)

(Alphadroid 1.7.0 GSI) problem persists

maybe if anyone wanna help me pls i really need it maybe you can discord me at TWGStud10 would be appriciated
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
can you drop the link to the exact gsi u used
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
sure

here is pe 13 gsi https://github.com/ponces/treble_bu...Plus_arm64-ab-13.0-20230914-UNOFFICIAL.img.xz

forgot what alphadroid i used but i found a discovery that in the custom roms listed here https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list, the only ones that worked for me is the ones that used Arm64-Binder. for me atleast, so idk about that

now after that Aosp 14 and CrDroid android 14 works, without any sim detected so no signal or phone number but imei still detected, and it also feels so laggy and slow even video playback wont go well so it's like a missing driver on a computer gpu. So with all of that issue ended up rolling back to stock rom and everything worked as normal
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
What binary do you have? Go to download mode and send a photo
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
let me grab that for a bit
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
Here you go, sorry for the waiting I'm on vacation rn so, emergency laptop gotta be used.

everything is stock rn btw, so theres no TWRP or anything just stock with unlocked bl
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
hey when ever i do multidisabler or dynapatch i also get the red errors about android rescuer

but it doesent seem to matter in the end result

would this issue block me from installing the pixel rom provided above.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
same here
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
Your on U8 binary, thats why it doesnt work. Until someone makes twrp for u8 u won't have twrp. You can patch stock recovery with fastboot and flash gsi with that.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
ahh i see then twrp did worked previously to do the terminal command, flash the roms and dynapatch but maybe red texts are something to tell, I'm sorry a big noob but can you help guide me and possibly recommend me some gsis please? it's okay if you don't want to
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
how do i check if im on u8 binary too

and how do i patch fastbootd if i am??
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
red text with multiple weird partitions (mmcblksomething) is normal afaik
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
go to download mode and check the "rp swrev" and see its number
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
samsung breaks RIL after june 2023 security patch, thats why sim is dead, i could try to make a module that uses U6 binary RIL for devices with U7/U8 but i need to download the firmware first
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
try this module report if it works, flash it in magisk
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
for me it says fail to mount metadata and failed to acess three or four random directories
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
hmm well i think the undetected sim and slow laggy UI has something to do with U8? but the twrp does works? idk what is going on tbh. also for some reason installing magisk bricks it by only stuck in the samsung galaxy logo or not being able to access the home screen or desktop whichever you call in android so after i unlock the lock screen it goes back to the lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
yeah let me try this then, I'll be here again once i hope it works.
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
bro yea twrp works but magisk on one ui makes my screen turn black and re lock almost like the gpu drivers crash

and i looked and i have the same binary as you
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
did you use the crdroid 14 arm64 binder bgn or bvn?

and maybe you could try using a kernel manager if you can use su to make the clock speeds faster to speed it up i guess
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
bgn, now idk how to do that tbh I'm even new to touching custom roms so lol
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
guess we both have the same problems 😕, hey maybe if you have another social platform we can discuss it there for ease of communication? and maybe we'll go here and there back and forth to find a solution
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
how did you install magisk? via patching boot.img or flashing it
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
looks like my module is broken then, don't try it
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
flashing like most people do
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
yeah did some research and seems like flashing is the problem

i heard patching boot img works for android thirteen a22

one thing to note is that the guy in a video i watched on the correct binary for the twrp was getting the same errors that me and twg were getting but he managed to flash twrp on 12 i think

he said in the comments that patching boot img might work for android thirteen

we might be able to fix it with a custom kernel as i think that it was a kernel error but idt there are any for a22 4g android thirteen out now

do you have telegram?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
me? I don't have telegram only discord(TWGStud10) but I'd think i could download that rn. anddd it wouldn't let me make an account. or unless your not asking me lol.

or the other social media i got is whatsapp
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
and uhh btw was this the kernelSU you were mentioning ?

[UNOFFICIAL] KernelSU for A225F (A13, A12)

A KernelSU kernel for A225F (A225M is untested) Works for A13 (DWE3), and A12 This kernel is based on this kernel made by @Cheese-ass, check the page to see the modification made. /* * Disclaimer * * Your warranty is now void. * * I am not...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
and maybe for anyone else that has this problem can you like install A11 or A12 instead with odin yk? might also downgrade the binary too right?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
yeah we should look into downgrading the binary

the newest a22 twrp here is for binary version three i think so maybe we should aim for that ??

tried that kernelsu kernel and it bootloops on oneui 5

backup your boot.img before trying any kernels btw

i also have discord username is jinx2762
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
theres no way to downgrade the binary since the binary is sstored on a read only separate chip
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
welp i guess we're stuck then
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
only way is for someone to build twrp i would try but i dont know how to get the device trees
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
as noobs anyway we can help maybe? idk
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
do you want the recovery img? or what
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
david will android twelve firmware (downgrade from thirteen work on this phone?)
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
if you were on U3 it will work but if you updated to U4 and higher it wouldnt
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
no like to build twrp from scratch
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
damn, wish you the very best luck for this. Thank you alot
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
update

just tried patch boot img with magisk manager then patched dtbo boot recovery and vbmeta and flashed in odin factory reset and then finally got magisk working (no issues)
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
btw sorry to disturb uhm, how to patch this stock recovery with fastbootd and to flash a gsi with it?
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] david7xw:
get the stock recovery.img from your firmware file, (found in AP file) and follow the steps from here, after patching, extract the file you just patched, flash it in odin in ap slot and patched vbmeta in userdata slot, reboot to recovery, wipe user data, go to

"reboot to fastbootd". it should reboot you to fastbootd. now connect the phone to your pc, download platform tools, and type fastboot flash system "path to your gsi.img" after flashing hold down power button + vol down until your device reboots and you should have a working gsi. if it still doesnt boot i'm out of ideas, most likely binary number issue
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] TWG Stud10:
fastbootd got patched but no resort to gsis working as normally
[Samsung Galaxy A22 4G] ragereaper22:
hey david do you know any a225f custom kernels that work with magisk rooted base one ui 5 rom android 13

flashable thru twrp??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] defaria:
On WM5.0 there used to be a sound that would play when the bluetooth connected. Not on WM6.1. Is there a way of turning on the sound for bluetooth connections? I know there's a notification for connection established but that appears to be for like a wifi connection.

Also, WM5.0 used to have a click sound for opening the Start menu and/or doing menu picks, etc. How can one turn that on?

Finally are there any good "sound collections". Cutesy sounds then you connect to wifi or or new email or SMS message are nice but then you need to do a translation in your mind of "Oh that cutesy sound means I got an SMS". I'd rather just a sound that says "You received and SMS message" or "You missed a phone call" etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
TF3D Settings tab | Sound | Advanced: Check off the Screen Taps option.

(or Start | Settings | Personal | Sounds)

I've noticed that too ... I thought it was a problem with my headset, and I just live with it. I guess I'm not alone. :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] defaria:
I wasn't really looking for all taps, just menu taps. For example, I didn't want (or I wasn't used to) having a sound come out just because I checked off a task, but I did remember a sound happening when I tapped on "Start" or when I then tapped on "Programs". IOW a menu pick, not each and every time the stylus/finger hits the screen. Plus you can't seem to set or change this one (though I didn't look into the registry).

I have lots of times when the bluetooth doesn't connect or I'm not sure it's connected. I was used to that reassuring sound that yes I am indeed connected properly.

Speaking of which, it would be nice to have an application that really indicates bluetooth status. IOW what's connected to what.

I have a Sony-Ericson bluetooth headset. It's stereo and AD2P, etc. I can listen to music and answer phone calls. I use it all the time, except when I get into my car. There I have a Motorola Rokr which takes the bluetooth and rebroadcasts it to FM. So I sometimes "pass the torch" between the two. Sometimes the BT "Wireless" gets passed byt the BT "Handsfree" does not. Or at least that's my suspicion. I'd like a program which can verify this for me by showing me "Hey the BT Wireless is currently connected or paired up with the Rokr but the BT Handsfree is associated with the Sony-Ericson". Of course a little functionality in this tool to tell it "Hey move that BT Handsfree association -> Rokr" would be excellent!

Oh, and I'm curious. Who designed bluetooth and why is it that the functionality/connections are so bad and badly designed? I mean it seems to me that BT Handsfree control multiple things. For example, it seems to control ARVCP as well as "Push to talk" at the same time. I think such functionality should be controllable separately.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeckoDev:
I don't know of any other settings for that. This is my 4th or 5th WM device, and up until now they all did what you are describing. Maybe this is something that was removed in WM6.

If I remember right, it was originally developed by Ericsson, and then a consortium of companies banded together to create a standards group. The standards group has done well developing specifications for compliance to each version, but the problem is that multiple Bluetooth stacks have been developed by just about everyone that manufactures BT devices or supports them.

The result is a lot of different BT implementations that technically conform to the specs, but a vary greatly in practical usage. What a shame... :D

There is a problem since some time with my Ownice C200. It looks like normal while starting up. But instead of going to the menu it goes black and a car symbol in the middle of the screen shows up.

What is wrong with it and how can I fix this?

A long term review is not possible after less than 15 days. A good long term review should be made about 3 months in (and that's still pretty short on time)
