[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] hackwerk:
Thanks a lot.

In your tutorial/howto (in this thread, and on your great GitHub), you mention the vbmeta for ODIN, but not for the zip.

Does this mean I can do only the kernelzip in TWRP without any other hassles like the vbmeta?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Gabriel260BR:
When you install twrp, you have to flash the disabled vbmeta. So yes, you don't need to flash it again.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] AlexPechkin228:
Can you please give instructions how to update stock OneUI firmware using Odin without factory reset and losing data?

Load ExynosUnbound tar file in AP slot, vbmeta_disabled file in BL slot, CP file in CP slot, Home_CSC in CSC slot? Am I right?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] Gabriel260BR:
Load AP file in AP, BL file in BL, CP file in CP and HOME CSC file in CSC, then flash it. Once your phone has booted to the system, go back to download mode and load ExynosUnbound tar in AP and disabled vbmeta in BL.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] hackwerk:
Did exactly this, and after stock flash it was fine.

Then rebooted after your Exynos flash plus vbmeta, but took me straight to recovery, which says data is corrupt and I need to format userdata!

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
#Reason is [fs_mgr_mount_all:M02R]#
Supported API: 3

I lost it all, and it is not recoverable, including a new flash of all (4) partitions (HOME_CSC)!

:( :(

When i am place the ap and blots in odin and click start my phone says: Custom Binary (VBMETA) Blocked by OEM Lock. But i am unlocked oem from developer settings.
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] ToasterMicrowave:
enabling oem unlocking in developer options isnt enough. enabling it only allows the bootloader to be unlocked. if you go into download mode youll see a new option which says device unlocking mode. go through the steps there to unlock bootloader. itll void your warranty and itll factory reset your phone btw
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] hackwerk:
Can someone tell me how to do this?

I am kinda senior and non-noob, but still can't manage to do flash kernel without issues.

See sig for current setup, although now I am non-rooted (and non-TWRP) so all (newest) stock.

I do NOT want to lose data (again!), so how to ODIN now, to only add this kernel (and vbmeta, or?)?
[Samsung Galaxy A33 5G] AlexPechkin228:
I patched stock kernel with Magisk and got a bug: when I reboot my phone, all connected Bluetooth audio devices are removed and need to be paired again.

Can you guys check please if you have the same issues with ExynosUnbound kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
* Your warranty is now void.

* This kernel is tested before each release, but

* I am not responsible for dead SD cards,

* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

* do some research if you have any concerns about custom kernels

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Hello all.

This is the thread for a custom kernel i made for the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, named ExynosUnbound (couldn't think in a better name xD)

Only for s5e8825 (Exynos 1280)!

Compatibility:

- Current release works with OneUI 6.0.

- This kernel only supports booting in enforcing mode (so any rom that requires permissive will not work).

Installation instructions:​

* Backup your partitions at the first moment

ZIP - TWRP:

Method 1: Just reboot to twrp and flash the zip from anywhere.

Method 2: Use adb sideload and flash it directly from your computer.

TAR - ODIN:

1: Reboot your device to download mode.

2: Open odin.

3: Load the kernel tar file in AP slot.

4: If you haven't flashed a disabled vbmeta yet, patch your vbmeta to disable it or download this disabled vbmeta and load it in BL slot.

5: Press start.

Notes:​

If you use magisk, you need to reflash magisk zip after flashing the kernel.

This kernel is focused on performance, not battery.

This kernel is in Enforcing selinux state.

Download & Changelog:​

Kernel (select a53x)

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] ZG_DEV:
Thanks for this kernel, mate 👍
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] nocio:
Hi mate, thanks for this kernel, but I have several questions?

Does this kernel bring better battery life?

Are there only default governors from Samsung or there is others?

Can if be flashed on default stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
1. No. See notes

2. Defaults

3. Yes

What's the use of this kernel without PERMISSIVE MODE?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] CGCristi™:
Hey, i have 1 question.

I have been looking for a disabled vbmeta for the a53 for so long, and this one works. but after i flash it the android system gets corrupted. Do i need to flash the kernel too for the disabled vbmeta to work?

Every disabled vbmeta i tried it will fail because of binary, this is the only one i found to work. I have been looking for over 5 days for a disabled vbmeta.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] tehmon:
I tried the kernel and it was pretty good, here are a few things that weren't quite right. The gpu always runs at 40-50% even though I don't do anything. Is that normal? and I think overclocking the CPU is more important than the GPU (okay, it's good to OC the GPU, there's nothing wrong with it) because when I try to open applications quickly there is stuttering, I think this is because of the CPU frequency limit, especially since the Exynos 1280 only has 6 little and 2 big cores. I think that's not enough. Maybe try overclocking the CPU? and optimize the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] onelly23:
Will there be a permissive mode for this kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] garry200708:
Hi! When I installed knoxpatch and this kernel, system does not detect that it has bootloader unlocked. Now it prompts me to update. Can I do it?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] fede2782:
If you want to brick the device yes. NEVER update via OTA if the device is rooted or has any partition different from stock
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
It has nothing to do with the kernel. But as fede2782 mentioned, don't update via OTA when your device is modified.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] ushinnary:
Hello @Gabriel260BR, thanks a lot for your work.

I've seen your last commit on kernel, so I have a question :

Do you prepare a kernel for something more than android ROMs only ? (I mean Linux, postmarketOS etc).

Also, I'm not sure, but it seems that GPU's max frequency should be around 900-950mhz, isn't 1209mhz is a huge step? I found recently that phone gets hot when I watch videos with Firefox browser in about 30 minutes. But it has no lags as it had before, it works much better, but at cost of heat and battery usage. So, is it a price to pay, or we may find a balance at ~1000mhz ?

I have 0 knowledges at C, so I can't help you with kernel, sadly.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] oslavq:
Consider installing Franco Kernel Manager, it allows you to set maximum frequencies for CPU and GPU, also there are a bunch of other settings.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] ushinnary:
Oh, thank you, I will check it ^^
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] forza88:
Mod translation: Hello. I installed it, left the phone overnight after installation, in the morning it did not turn on, did not charge, did not make any sounds, but the processor was heating up. When the phone was completely discharged in the evening (I realized because the phone stopped heating), I plugged it in and, lo and behold, it started charging. After that, it worked for the first three hours, but then the phone suddenly froze while I was using it. The image froze, but the sound appeared from time to time, it got worse, but I still couldn’t press anything, soon the screen went dark, only pressing the volume down and power buttons helped. After that there were no such cases. I just went into the system explorer, it says that the phone has only 32 GB and 25 are occupied, although in fact it costs 256. I installed extensive file managers, even Root Explorer, but everywhere it said something different, somewhere around 22 or somewhere around 28. Is it possible? fix it? Otherwise the phone works fine, you can feel the difference.

Ps I wrote through a translator, don’t judge strictly. I'm not a native speaker.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
Could you tell the exact steps you did to install the kernel? Also, do you have any KSU Module?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] forza88:
Hello. First I flashed the original latest firmware via odin. Then I went into download mode again and installed twrp then orange fox recovery. I went into recovery, installed exynosunboud first, then magisk. Rebooted. I suspect that the phone froze due to a memory error.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] forza88:
I translated it through a translator and wrote about it at the end. Perhaps this is a bug in my browser. Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
Try to see if that bug can be reproduced without magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] forza88:
I flashed it 2 more times, the memory error is gone, but there is no hang. Only the volume down and power button helps.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] MitzaBobitza:
A version without KernelSU included would be nice so we can use Magisk instead 😭
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Gabriel260BR:
KernelSU is better than Magisk on newer devices. Simply because it achieves same level of functionality while still being hidden.

If you still want to use Magisk: Remove all kernelsu modules (if any) and uninstall kernelsu app (if installed), then just install Magisk normally. Kernelsu will not interfere with magisk if the procedures above are done.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] MitzaBobitza:
Yeah, I'm starting to realize that after I noticed that ExynosUnbound had it included and started using it. I'm most probably gonna stick with it, although other users might still want to use Magisk instead.

Would be nice if you updated the kernel to KernelSU v1.0.1, it just released recently.

I can confirm it does interfere in some cases, that's why I requested a version without KernelSU in the first place. By interfering I mean some modules don't work if you have multiple rooting solutions installed, for example Zygisk Next. You can check its Github page, one of the requirements are not having multiple rooting solutions installed.

In fact, I learned that ExynosUnbound has KernelSU included the hard way. I installed Magsik along with it and tried bypassing the root detection of a banking app for days, just to realize that the problem was KernelSU, which I had no idea that it was installed.

Now that I uninstalled Magisk and I'm only using KernelSU, the banking app works perfectly, but I'm pretty sure it would work with only Magisk installed too.

Hello, i am looking to buy S21 Ultra Exynos version. But before i buy some device a would like to confirm if you can use e.g. USB-C to 1Gbps Ethernet adapter with this device? I know that on snapdragon version it works, but not sure if Exynos version supports it.

It is the same like with other china brands where Mediatek CPU models do not support some functionallity of the USB-C

Hi everyone

I've compiled ROM for Samsung SM-T220 based on T220XXU4CWI2 firmware with AOSP Android 13.0 2023-09-19 + Gapps from Ponces.

Everything newest version as of posting this thread.

Download here

(MD5 5adf57bce3c66354d94b9a086c53fc35)

Requirements:

Unlocked bootloader, check this post how to do it.

Lack of fear.

Patching (you are doing it on your own risk!):

Download Odin software.

Put tablet into download mode.

Turn off.

Hold Volume UP + Volume DOWN and plug in USB cable.

Press Volume UP to confirm.

Unpack tar file.

In Odin select corresponding BL, AP and CSC files from unpacked tar (by file prefixes). Note:

There are no CP (modem drivers) or USERDATA files, leave those empty.

Does not matter if CSC or HOME_CSC is chosen as CSC file.

Press start in Odin to start patching.

After tablet reboot shut it down and enter recovery mode (by pressing Volume UP + Power) and choosing factory reset.

So far everything works and UI feels snappier.

I have no benchmarks. I use this tablet as clock / weather station / calendar, my main motivation was to get rid of weirdly scaled UI from Samsung and built-in Samsung bloatware. And to do a bit of Android tinkering :)

Special thanks to:

@abg95a - for his tutorial

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] bbkr:

But yes, I can create AP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] frudda:
How much RAM memory is left after booting your ROM? I manage to get 1,5 GB free of the T220 3GB version with systemless debloater.

But would be nice to push it close to 2GB free.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] bbkr:
I already have it configured, with Nova launcher, a lot of widgets on home screen (clock, weather, calendar, air quality, home automation, shopping lists, etc.) so I cannot give you raw numbers right after installation. Currently it uses 1.7GB in my case.

I doubt you will ever be able to reach 1GB used RAM in Android 13. If you check RAM consumption through ADB "top -s 6" you will see that zygote + system_server + system UI + crucial services are taking up 800MB. You can get rid of few memory hogs like Gboard (160MB) or wellbeing (100MB) but usable system with common applications will usually be in range of 1.5-4GB RAM. This tablet is outdated and debloating will not overcome the fact that it can barely run browser with a few tabs.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Nerd10:
Hey! This seems like a pretty nice ROM! I've been using it for a while, and paired it with a 512GB SD card formatted for internal storage. Works fine after patching the tar file with magisk, and it's been doing pretty great. There is a problem with the headphone jack however, the ROM doesn't seem to handle headphone jack switching properly for me, and plays audio through both the jack and speakers which isn't optimal for my use case, so I've had to work around that using a USB-C DAC on hand.

By the way, this seems like a hybrid GSI/Odin flashed ROM, given that it has phh's settings (Treble). What is this ROM classed as out of curiosity?
