Installation, Important Infos & Download


Installation : State of the art Installation procedure.

Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files for Full ROM and for magisk module read changelog post.

WARNING

Before you root your device you must be aware that

• This will void warranty.
• As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
• There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
• There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
• Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
• Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
• OTA won't work once you root device.
• ROOT with caution.
• You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.

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

Haleluja, its here!! Great amazing work! OMG I'm so excited! Let's go!!
Thanks alot !!! Finally I can unpack my S22 Ultra ^^ and use it as real Phone
Proud to be the first worldwide to have a Custom ROM, FULL ROOT, Adblock etc on a S22 Ultra Exynos
Community LOVE for you!! ♥♥♥♥♥

EDIT: HERE IS THE GUIDE TO USE FOR EXYNOS (still testing)

Ok, so basically find and download the firmware (S908BXXU1AVC6 for EU - or ask me for the File..) to the phone eather with the Phone itself or trought USB-Cable, install magisk.apk from here, unpack the zip file from Firmware and patch the ap file via magisk, get the files to the pc and use odin to flash the patched Firmware.

of course unlock bootloader before and go to download mode.
Here is how to do that:

S01 Dr.Ketan Magisk ROM is Online now
Must read changelog above for Installation guide and other Info

Thank you for Support & Trust on this ROM.

 

[Belco02]

no rom, only module

 

[iampatricktan]

Yaiks. Hopefully it will be available for B variant

 

[dr.ketan]

Yaiks. Hopefully it will be available for B variant

You can try on exynos (only module, no root files). If it doesn't work then maximum you needs is to factory reset.
In that case I may consider to make separate rom

I think its much better to make separate only for Exnos variant? So that files for SD will not be included, correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also been using your ROM since my Note 9.

ok, so great news, it works at least for exynos as well!
Safetynet also works!

Problems so far:
Can't change my keyboard - UI restarts
com.android.phone closes down
and it says system is unstable - please do a factory restore - on boot up.

But all in all it seems to work, with root etc.

 

[beautyangel]

Thx Dr My bro. Hopefully we can have the Exynos version seperatly if possible and not too much of your time consuming.
