Question TO BE CLOSED AS IS DEFUNCT

[dirtybudha]

Ill be selling my entire "samsung ecosystem" for a Pixel 6 pro come January i expect -> especially if this retarded madness spills over onto the S22 line

VERY much looking to jump the Sammy ship as well. Just seems like they aren't interested in listening to the customers...even us. I truly believe they are butt-hurt that the dev community makes better ROMs and improves their products.

But the Pixel and Sony are looking WAY better.

@exocetdj I catch your drift man – this is totally ridiculous and it's apparent they are doing it intentionally.

The only thing is – how can you go back to a regular phone? I mean right when this madness started – when I first reported here that they are warning the camera will be blocked I was like: to hell with it, I'll take the phone back right away and go back to Note 20.

Then I decided I'll use it rooted without the cam for 2 weeks, and if a fix wasn't in by then – lol, optimist ) – I'll return the phone.

After just a day or so – I was like: **** it, I can't go back to a regular phone! Even without the camera, the usability on this hardware – nice thin, one handed phone when closed, nice tab-wide document reader when opened – is just so much superior to even the Note 20 Ultra – I just couldn't use a regular phone again.

How can you do it?

When did Sammie become so hostile to devs?

Don't be so sure. Pixel 6 Pro is the most imperfect (perfect) device I have. And while you can root on the device...
Check the Pixel 6/pro forums. It's not a perfect solution at the least. However, I think Android 12 is pretty bad. Samsung's implementation of root (or lack thereof) is equally bad

Depends how angry i am at the time i consider selling it i guess hahaha

Still potential yet for this device though - all depends on what happens soon

You are totally right, I've seen articles about the issues they are having.
Being a poor teacher, I'll have this fold until it breaks or I can afford to replace it. MAYBE the Pixel will have better stability then.
But a perk is Google can push a patch out the next day if they want. Sammy...takes a few months.

But you are likely right about A12. I'm betting it was rushed and is a garbage build. Hence, let the XDA community fix it and make it run like a dream. Or not and piss everyone off...which ever.

SAMSUNG always stick to the latter lol

SAMSUNG have finally seen some sense and killed this "feature"

I can confirm that i have upgraded to stable BUL6 on F926B witj Unlocked bootloader and the camera is working perfectly

 

[白い熊]

Thank god, man! We've got source – so root will be good, OMFG! Geez, so much pain…

Here's to your efforts – and don't lose interest before you've updated your ROM!

Hopefully i can start things up again!

@dr.ketan - great news in the end that Samsung have let us keep using camera on an unlocked bootloader camera works on BUL4

Great news Indeed.
But it's too late for me, I have decided to skip this fold and going to buy S22 (ultra/note) as it's now around the corner.
Another catch is, I have heard we in India this time may get snapdragon (s22), so have to wait how's international and majority of market follows. I will buy it according majority of users getting it.

Thats fair enough hopefully encouraging in that S22 probably wont have this camera crap now (or hopefully wont)

Ok to keep all you rooters updated

The issues i have been having with root are due to the issues in the links below:

Bootloop after flashing patched Magisk image on Samsung Galaxy M52 · Issue #5136 · topjohnwu/Magisk

Hi everyone, Followed steps just as per Magisk install doc. Patched the AP tar file. On flashing the patched image, the device boots till below image, turns off, erases once, comes back to the belo...

Bootloop A12 Samsung QC · Issue #4966 · topjohnwu/Magisk

Device: Galaxy S21+ 5G (SM-G996U) Android version: 12(sdk 31) Magisk version name: (23014)(22) / (master build) Magisk version code: 23014 Logs from /proc/last_kmsg (rooted recovery). <12>[ 7...

"There is a new vendor_boot.img. This img now also has a fstab. Additional partitions have to be mounted when starting. Then it works. Unfortunately I don't have the sources at hand until the new year."

basically magiskinit is going absolutely tits on boot and causing a deadloop where it hangs on red text screen and then reboots to do the same about 10 mins later. As far as i can gather from the chatter in these links, some extra partitions need mounting - i am currently obtaining logs and such for the magisk peeps

Thanks so much for all the hard work you put in order to make root possible.
I can't wait for a rooted rom with camera working since i'm more than a month without camera on my phone
