The ROM installer app offers only AVG6 as the latest package. Is there an updated version of the ROM installer.APK or the server is not pushing the new build yet?
As quoted post have mentioned, it's under testing. Once you see status Online, you will able to download it. May be later today or tomorrow, depending on user's test report.

Root files uploaded to download area for today's Beta
- S908B Beta3 (VI9)
- S908E Beta2 (VI9)

Installation :

  • Unlock bootloader
  • Download from XDA ROM download area (link below) and extract root files to get *tar.md5 file
  • Turn off Auto reboot option in Odin
  • Flash extracted *.tar.md5 with Odin AP slot
  • When file get flashed (You will see PASS), Keep holding Vol Down + Power (With device connected to PC). Once device reboot, immediately release vol down button and keep holding power + vol up (For a moment you needs to release and hold again poswer button when asked), this will reboot device to recovery - select to factory reset
  • Reeboot to system. Update Magisk from stub OR Install Magisk 25.2 apk
Download : DrKetanROM.com

TWRP : (Only for expert)
Root file doesn't have TWRP included. If you want to test, flash it separately. No needs to flash patched vbmeta as Root files already have included it. TWRP may work but Kernel may or may not work so don't run 'multidisabler' else device may not boot. Still if you want to try, make backup of boot and super partition before applying 'multidisabler' If device doesn't boot, restore both and format data.

PS : You have to make backup of boot & super on USB storage as before multidisabler, data partition won't work
Can I read and write the system partition in oneui5?

OK. Thanks Dr. Since I am formatting data again, I will run the Afaneh's System RW script v 0.3 also. Do you have link to latest TWRP handy? I am trying to look in TWRP telegram group.
same latest TWRP of A12, Get from TWRP thread
Does this rom have the latest version of oneui 5 beta?
This is magisk ROM, you must have to be on same firmware. OneUi 5.0 module is yet not released and under testing, It may released tomorrow (Based on latest beta)

How to ROOT & TWRP and How to Update Base

Root S908B/E/N/0 without TWRP

  • Unlock bootloader
  • You needs to download stock firmware (You can get stock firmware with Frija) and extract AP*.tar.md5 file and patch with magisk. Flash patched file with AP tab of Odin
  • Reboot to recovery and select to format data (Factory reset option on stock recovery)
  • Reboot device → You will see Magisk stub in drawer → Update it. (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.
Root S908B/E/N/0 + TWRP + How to update/Install base firmware
You can get ready to use root files from download area OR you can get from TWRP thread (link below)
  • Download latest firmware as per pre-requisite
  • Disable Auto Reboot option in Odin
  • Select appropriate slot in Odin for BL,AP,CP and CSC (Using HOME_CSC will keep data, while using CSC* will format data) from stock firmware
  • Select TWRP file for USEDATA slot (File must include patched vbmeta file)
  • When Flashing completes, disconnect device and starightway reboot to TWRP
  • Run multidisabler from TWRP - Advanced - Terminal - and type : multidisabler (it may take few minutes, keep patience)
  • Wipe Data (If you are already using Afaneh92's TWRP and used multidisabler + Format data, you can select to Factory Reset too (This will preserve media file) OR you can skip wipe option at all in case you want dirty Install.)
  • Reboot to TWRP In case you have wiped data.
  • Copy Kernel & Magisk zip to device (Alternatively use USB storage)
  • Install kernel (Flash Kernel zip from TWRP)
  • Flash Magisk
  • Reboot & Update Magisk from stub OR Install Magisk apk
  • Open Magisk app and complete setup if it asked for
PS : If you are on any other TWRP or Stock recovery, you must FORMAT DATA (That requires to type 'Yes' to confrm wipe)

Now ready to install Dr.Ketan Module, Follow XDA ROM Changelog post to install ROM Module

Thanks & Credit to Afaneh92 for TWRP & Kernel, below are link for OP Exynos SnapDragon


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.
Just for clarification: it is impossible to update the firmware without multidisabler when rooted without having to factory reset the device too?
So I must choose between encrypted data and updating with root?

You can't update firmware straightway weather rooted with encrypted data or decrypted data
But in both the case if you perform same setup before rebooting device to system then still possible to update firmware without losing data. (Though strongly recommend to make backup)
Also if you change setup between encrypted to decrypted or vise a versa, you still needs format data.

    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?

    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!
