EDIT
It was a stupid mistake, just messed Odin files.
Sorry to bother everyone...

Dear Dr. Ketan, I'm writing to ask for some help regarding the installation process of your latest rom.
I was already using the version S12 of your creation. Today I tried to install the T03 version.
At 1st I tried to install the rom only with a factory reset, and tried to follow step by step your instructions. As I had some doubts regarding my specific CSC region, I chose not to change it during installation.
Apparently everything went OK, but when I tried to boot into system my device rebooted 3 times before succeeding.
And after that neither bluetooth or Wi-Fi were working.
I try then to do another clean install, this time formatting data completely.
The result was absolutely the same.
Just to check, I tried another clean install formatting data, this time flashing the CSC file. Again, after some reboots the device booted finally but without Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Just to be clear, every time I flashed the bootloader and modern through odin as instructed.
I'm sure I'm doing some kind of mistake, but I cannot find what is my error. Can you please give me some advice? Or some other experienced user here?

Thank you so much!!

Dear Dr. Ketan, I tried the T03 android 13, but I had many problems when restoring the backup using "totanium backup", it restores it but it does NOT open the applications, so I have to delete the cache / data of the apk and just I can run the applications (I understand that it's like a security system of Android 13 itself), what I don't like is that you can't use the Data and OBB folders, in Android 13, I'm really using those folders in Android 12 For games and my stuff, that's why I chose to go back to Android 12 One UI 4.1 "Rom S15", unfortunately the little I was in A13 seemed worth it but it has many cons, so Android12 will continue :(.

* Sorry if you don't understand, use "Google Translator" my native language is Spanish :) Regards.

I have installed the latest version following all of the instructions, everything worked fine for the first 3 days but now my APN settings are stating that I don't have permission to change them and I can't download picture messages. The internet works fine but I have noticed that the signal bar has decreased since this issue arised. I have to reboot the phone and within the first 5 minutes I'll be allowed to do it then I'm restricted to modify the APN settings. Please advise.

I tried hiding play services from magisk and renaming swift backup folder. Not sure which works, but it's partially working now which is even weird.
I can send payments from "To mobile number" option but sending "To Bank/UPI ID" detects root. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a dedicated thread for Magisk Hide, you can found latest information about it.
For me there is nothing changed from A12 to A13 regarding magisk hide & root detection.

  • Based on Samsung OneUI 5.0 stable G998BXXS5DVL3 Jan 2023 security patch

Important Instructions for setting up ROM (NEW)


- In case clean installing ROM

IMPORTANT NOTES :

Hi, thanks for the great and ongoing work!
I am on S14 and downloaded T04 now.

Found the installation.txt in "BL_DrKetan_G998BXXS5DVL3_CP_G998BXXU5DVL2_Extract_This" related to Odin, but can't find any installation guide in "G998B_DrKetanROM_T04_VL3_extract_this".
Until S14 I know your PDF documents with detailed (and really helpful) step-by-step instruction for when to do what.

What did I wrong or where can I find the mentioned installation text?
Or is it sufficient to flash with Odin and just install the "G998B_DrKetanROM_SetUp_T04.zip"?

Really appreciate your help, thank you!

    Dr Ketan
    Another excellent work!
    Everything flashed smoothly. Working fine @ the 1st attempt :).

    Just want to suggest, maybe in the next release, you can add something like this:
    Clean Boot Logo

    Those warnings screen that appear after unlocking the bootloader are very annoying,,,

    Thanks for your awesome work!

    Important :


    - 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. (hope in future we can get it working on tripped knox device)
    - OTA won't work once you root device.
    - 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

    Installation :


    Read ChangeLog post for Installation instructions (link on post #3)

    PS : Who can handle consequences of dirty flashing, they never need to ask this question in forum. If you dirty install then handle it yourself .

    Guys
    Quite busy with life, just y'day started N10 re base so first needs to complete it. Later (when time permits) will start workings on beta2. Kindly keep patience. Thanks all.
    10
    Here some my thoughts and explanation about TWRP backup and restore

    Firstly brief explanation about what does partition contains.
    • Boot : It is Kernel
    • Recovery : It is Recovery
    • super : That contains odm,product,system and vendor partitoin all togather.
    • optics : CSC files (where we routinely making changes for csc features) and network settings depending on your carrier
    • prism : carrier related apps and other stuff . In odin when you flash CSC*_ or Home_CSC* these two optics and prism gets flashed.
    • data : That is all your installed app and made changes in settings

    Now what to backup/restore?
    • boot - Helps if something messed up with magisk or waht to restore kernel after flashing custom.
    • recovery - usually it doesn't require but if you flash some other recovery(TWRP) and you want to restore one in backup, that helps
    • super : As stated above these is main system, if something you have messed up in system/vendor (usually with flashing something, or erasing something) you can restore by super.img.
    • optics and prism : as explained above are CSC files, Rather than restoring it, I prefer to flash HOME_CSC*.tar.md5 to make csc compartment clean. So to backup or not not much important.
    • data : This very sensible part. I prefer to make data backup when there is no samsung a/c or Lockscreen protection there. Also don't restore it cross version of ROM. Also some common mistakes user making is, He/She clen install ROM and then restore data partiton of previous ROM. This is worst then even dirty installing ROM, never do it. It is just false sense of satisfaction that you made a clean install. According me, data partiton backup best to be made just after complete clean install ROM and setting up device without adding any account and lockscreen protection. So when you restore this backup, you will have a device just like you recently completed clean install and save your time to setup initial wizard
    Backup Application,Call logs,Contacts,SMS etc

    Titanium backup was ruling for decade for these but since A11 it's not trust worthy and on A12 almost useless.
    Swift Backup is now my choice (Some other like Migrate, App dash (by RD XDA dev flar2) also alternatives)
    For contacts : I do prefer google sync. Just adding google ac everything will be restore on it's own, provided you are saving contacts in google. In case you want to make off line backup of contact, there is a built in utility in phone. Contact - settings - export - This will create a file. Similarly browse same file while you want to import contacts. Catch in this is your contact image will not retain size and it just backup thumbnail picture.
    Only one utilility I have found that makes offline contact backup without distoring image quality is My Phone Explore client (needs on both PC and Phone). Also this utility is best for wireless file manager.

    Schheduled backup - A must needed utility.

    I always prefer clean installation (Factory reset withot wiping media files) and really it takes less than 30 minutes to setup everything.
    If you enable schedule backup utility in your Backup app (e.g Swift backup have this) and make some profile like
    1.Backup - new app at X time then it will auto backup all app that you have new installed at given time
    2.Backup updated app at x time - This will make backup of any app that you have updated in store will backup at given time
    3.Any app which get data changes frequently and you needs data changes like whatsapp then create a profile favorite app - add whatsapp in favorite and schedule it to make backup daily at given time.

    with these your device always remain ready to clean install anytime instead of last moment backup or some urgent clean install needed.

    Also Folder Sync is good utility if you needs duplicate copy of files from Internal storage with scheduled operation.

    Hope this may helpful and answer lots of queries for many.
