Installation, Important Infos & Download


Installation : State of the art Installation procedure.
  • Only needed is supported device + Unlocked bootloader.
  • No needs to have device rooted,Installed TWRP,update device to specific base
Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files.

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

Hi, thanks for the effort. I'm looking forward for the development/optimization of the the S23 Ultra rom/module of yours.

Secondly, I know it's still in "startup phase" but the dedicated S23 page on your website show some faults concerning Exynos, because the S23 don't have this chipset they're all the same. Like under 'IMEI backup' or 'Sound changer'.

    it looks like you didn't read couple posts previous when he said again: yes you need to remove all magisk module before flash to T05 and also inside the installation guide.
    Then from T05 to the next version you don't need to do it

    Not encouraging dirty flashing, nor guaranteed this will work but still trying to ease dirty flashing and trying to decrease mess of dirty flashing. A new tool will be there in upcoming T05
    No more clearing data of ROM Tool or removal of all magisk modules needed before flashing a new version of Dr.Ketan ROM. Also full ROM no more needed to create ROM Module.
    Hope it work as expected.

    Important Info

    I may release a stability update (T05) with same base (S918BXXS1AWBM) with better optimized for RW and specifically for creating more friendly environment for future dirty flashing ROM. Update will be optional for existing T04 users, yet recommended.
    Stay tuned!
