Hello @dr.ketan, I need your help form India
Planning to buy S22 Ultra from US and use it in India after unlocking
Can I flash the India ROM on US device and use it as a normal India device with all 4G, 5G, eSim, Jio Volte kind of stuff. Appreciate your response.
Sorry, I don't think anyone can answer it unless one try himself. Mine is India bought so no idea, nor I can test.

My understanding is that there's currently no way to unlock the bootloader for any U.S carrier or even network unlocked device. Chances are it'll probably stay this way unless the recent software dump changes this scenario..

If you buy carrier-unlock device in US, YES! You can use it anywhere in the world. Just use it as it is.
And don't even think about flashing anything except stock firmware to it.

Sorry for my busy work this week.

I tired to install Dr. Magisk Rom it looks successful.
Boot normally, install LSposed and mods normally, dial normally, every apps run normally but 1 app (3MinitClock which auto installing from Dr. Magisk Rom) would be crash when opening.

So, I think S9080 / S908N can be installed Dr. Magisk Rom. At least it can boot normally.
I just using my S9080 for installed Dr. Rom few hours (not much time), because I need few days to transfer my old S21U (all large) date to S22U and waiting the S22U protect case.
Lol! I am surprised why no one else have reported this yet. This issue was there since A12 and I have fixed it myself long ago and accidentally I have found today that, I have forget to add fix to S22 ROM. So not only S9080 but all version must have 3minit clock FC. Anyway it will get fixed in next version soon.

  • Reboot to recovery and select to format data (Factory reset option on stock recovery)

(In case stub not there, Donload magisk app from Download area and intall manually) → Open Magisk - It will ask to complete additionl setup, Let it do. → Reboot device. You are now ready to Intall Dr.Ketan ROM module. Move to next step.

PS : For detailed instructions about Magisk installation (root) read here. In case still you have question, move to Question forum of S22 section and ask for help. This thread is development thread and any questions related to how to root will be ignored.


How to Install Dr.Ketn ROM Module (New!)

  • Download app ROM Installar XDA S22 S*.apk and and Install as regular apk (* = ROM verion)
  • Uninstall any other magisk module you have installed
  • Open ROM Installaer app → Grant SU permission → Just seat and relax. It will auto download ROM and Install automatically. You can see process on screen. → Reboot device when asked.
Benefits of ROM Instller : This method have some extra benefits over regular installation like
  • It won't process if no root access found
  • It will block installation on wrong devices
  • It will abort Installation process if MD5 doesn't match (Corrupt download) to prevent bootloop.
  • Also it will show current firmware version and available firmware version (You should not install if there is much difference in firmware base) Read prerequisite above for recommended firware)

Setting up device first time after Module installation

  • Open ROM Tool from app drawer and Apply essential fix and Reboot,
  • After reboot you can check SafetyNet and should be passed. You can use this app from playstore or This from Github to check SafetyNet (ROM Tool will offer to install this during Essential fix too)
  • Now you can further setup ROM a per your liking. Also MagikHide is Configure Denylist now and available under Magisk Settings.
  • Since A12 new Magisk (Zygisk) doesn't have buil-in Module repo, You can get standalone module manager from here (ROM Tool will offer to install this during Essential fix too) For more details and queries about new magisk ref this
Important Note for Dual active SIM users :

After Module ROM Installation, Internet/Network may not be available, Once you apply esssential Fix from ROM Tool- it will detect it and fix on it's own. Netork/Internet will be available after reboot.

Will this work on 908N(Korean) version? I see that people mentioned it works on 9080, which is harder to get than 908N in my country.

    Read chnagelog above

    S04 for SM908E, buttery smooth and quick as always.. Another ripper, thanks @dr.ketan
    1
    I am not sure whether @jokiak has the same issue as me, however, I experience a `vmbeta` error in ODIN mode.

    Flashing stock ROM (`S908BXXS7DXAC_S908BOXM7DXA6_EUY` from SamMobile.com) works as expected, however, I want to use Dr.Ketan ROM. ;)

    Any help appreciated! 🙏
    ROM always have patched vbmeta included. Almost > 150 downloads and no one before you reported issue.
    Install all files as suggested in Installation guide and with Odin included in ROM zip itself.
    Also make sure you have unlocked bootloader from Download mode too, only OEM toggle enable isn't enough.
    Regarding Bootloader error removal zip file, File name S908B_Exynos_Boot_error_removal_Extract_this.zip is self explanatory and needs to extract. Once you extract you will find txt file about how to use.

    Edit : It seems you're trying Linux Odin and that could be issue. Try this
    First only flash BL*tar.md5 file and then force reboot device to download mode and flash rest of files AP,CP and CSC
    If you're already on S908BXXS7DXAC stock ROM then skip flashig BL*.tar.md5 file and starightway flash only AP,CP and CSC
    1
    Hi. Is there a way to enable the native Android Internet speed meter without root or do you know of any CSC that has it by default on an S908E?
    May be try china CSC which only have possibility to have it default, else search play store for non rooted device.

    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

    Regarding full ROM (for S908B/E)

    What I am planning is to make Odin flashable ROM from next version. Now a days on newer device you needs PC & Odin to flash bootloader so making ROM with TWRP flashable zip still you needs PC, Instead if I make Odin flashable ROM then it will be much easier. Even you no more needed to have same firmware installed.
    Installation will be swift like
    • Flash provided files with Odin with respective slot
    • Wipe/Format will be optional if you are already on my ROM. (must in case you are on stock/encrypted data)
    What you think?
    12
    Proposed ROM development now onwards :

    Looking to poll results, it seems most users wants Full system-rw ROM including Mods. So finally found a way so users with any choices won't get disappointed.

    • To make a Full ROM + Mods (No Magisk module requires). This will only for S908B & S908E - This will be for users with choice 1
    • Above said ROM will have option in ROM Tool to remove customization, with this you can remove all customization and retain with pure stock experience. Before removing customization, still you can apply essential fix so it will keep all important systemless fix like SafetyNet/GPay etc. - This will be for users with choice 2
    • Magisk Model development will remain continue for all other variants including S908B/E

    I am Testing Full ROM including mods now on S908E, soon it will be public.
    Thank you for trust & support for ROM!

    PS : Full ROM is under testing now!
