[G925F/FD/W8/...][6.0+] SYSTEMLESS DevBase | Encryption support | Stock OTA updates

SYSTEMLESS DevBase has been developed and physically tested on S7 Edge (G935F), so main thread containing the most detailed description you can find here:
>> [SAMSUNG][6.0+] SYSTEMLESS DevBase | Encryption support | Stock OTA updates <<
However, it should work on ALL SAMSUNG DEVICES running Android 6.0+, so if you are Galaxy S6 Edge (G925xx) owner - please place your feedback & discussion here to let me know about device-specific issues or to let me know that everything works perfect
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you tired with traditional custom ROMs?
Do you miss custom ROMs but you would like to have encrypted /data (for privacy/security reasons)?
You are in the right place! I present you SYSTEMLESS DevBase - an SYSTEMLESS equivalent of my previous work (for older devices)
Prerequisites:
- Samsung device running stock or stock-based Android 6.0+ (mandatory!)
- Rooted device - SuperSU v2.76+ installed in SYSTEMLESS mode (mandatory!) (*)
- Stock, untouched /system partition (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
- Stock recovery (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
(*) NOTE: The latest CF-Auto-Root image for G925F contains SuperSU v2.74 which does not support SYSTEMLESS solutions (su.d is not triggered early enough). It is NOT enough to update it via PlayStore to the newest version and update su binaries! You need to update it using TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP from THIS STABLE or THIS BETA thread. Alternatively you can use "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option in FlashFire even if you are rooted already by CF-Auto-Root (it will update SuperSU in the same way as flashing ZIP).
SYSTEMLESS DevBase:
1. Benefits / main features:
- Works with encypted /data partition
- Working official OTA updates! (see Tips & Tricks)
- Does NOT perform any phisical modifications in /system
- Does NOT perform any additional changes/patches to the kernel
- Removed KNOX warnings (systemlessly removed SecurityLogAgent)
- It contains SYSTEMLESS BusyBox (bionic, the most stable and respected release)
- It allows you to easily modify most of files & apps in your /system - SYSTEMLESSLY (see Tips & Tricks)
- It does not interfere with Magisk! You can use Magisk in paralell with SYSTEMLESS DevBase if you need it for your favorite module.
2. Systemless Safe De-Bloat (more info below):
What does it mean and why is it called "safe"?
- ONLY apps available in stores will be systemlessly removed from the ROM, so you can easily (re)install any of these app if you like
- ONLY pre-installed system apps are will be systemlessly removed, DevBase installer never touch any updated app nor app installed manually from store
Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. If you install my SYSTEMLESS DevBase directly over working stock ROM - in most cases almost all these apps will remain untouched, because almost all apps have been updated already (stored on /data). But then you will be able to remove any useless app using the "Application manager" -> [Name_Of_App_To_Remove] -> MORE -> Uninstall updates. NOTE: App will disappear arter reboot and will be visible even in Titanium Backup!
2. If you perform "Wipe data" directly before installing SuperSU and my SYSTEMLESS DevBase (before you let to install app's updates) - then all apps listed below will be removed. If you would like to use any of these apps - just install it manually from appropriate store. Installed manually app will not be removed during the next DevBase update or re-install.
Removed apps list (depends on the device, should cover all devices starting from Galaxy S5):
ChatON
Chrome
Drive
Dropbox
EditorsDocs
Evernote
Excel
Facebook
FB Messenger
FB Pages Manager
Flipboard
Google+ / Photos
Group Play
Hangouts
Instagram
OneDrive
OneNote
PEN.UP
Play Books
Play Games
Play Movies
Play Music
Play Newsstand
PowerPoint
Skype
Smart Remote
WhatsApp
Word
NEW! Safe De-Bloat feature automatically detects and systemlessly removes apps not listed above, but present in your CSC package
3. Systemless CscFeature MOD (enabled some built-in, hidden features):
- Added shutter sound menu in Camera app
- Sending/receiving MMS without data on
- Show SMS/MMS sending time instead of receiving
- Added "Exit Internet" option to stock browser
- Added call button in Phone Logs (**)
- Added "Call/Message block" option in Settings
- Added symbols as secondary keys in Samsung keyboard (**)
- Call Recording (manual control, added "Record" button)
(**) may not work starting from Android 7.0 Nougat
Installation:
1. FlashFire app (recommended ***):
- Open file using "Flash ZIP or OTA" option
- UNTICK "Mount /system read/write" [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Enable "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option if necessary (see NOTE above (*))
- Tap "FLASH"
2. TWRP recovery:
- Tap "Keep Read Only" on the Welcome screen [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Open file using "Install" option (use extSdCard or OTG storage in case of encrypted /data)
- Confirm flash by swiping right
- Tap "Reboot System"
NOTE1: One additional auto-reboot may be performed at first boot. It is not a bug (may be required for systemless build.prop support - see Tips & Tricks for more explanations)
NOTE2: Do not worry about red "mount /data failed..." messages displayed in TWRP in case of encrypted /data (installer will do the work anyway!)
(***) As far as I know - FlashFire is the only flashing tool with full access to /data during flash in case of encrypted devices. It is also the only tool which allows you to perform full backup/restore of partitions, including encrypted /data. It does NOT require custom recovery to work!

Tips & Tricks
1. OTA updates:
- Basically, the only thing you need to take OTA update is to perform "Full unroot" in the SuperSU app. However, a better way is to use "unroot2ota" terminal command, because this will not remove DevBase boot script from /su/su.d and the only thing you will need to re-activate SYSTEMLESS DevBase (and all your systemless MODs) after performing OTA update is just re-root your device with CF-Auto-Root.
- If you flashed custom recovery like TWRP - it is mandatory to restore your stock recovery (otherwise OTA will not work). You can do it using FlashFire app (the easiest way) - just open recovery.img file (extracted from your original FW) using "Flash firmware package" option, disable "Preserve recovery" option and then tap "FLASH". EDIT: Starting from version v1.2 there is a new "unroot2ota" feature which allow you to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-fromm-boot.p file. There is no guarantee to perform it successfully (even if there is no error message) but in most cases it works well (tested on Nougat beta). Please go to recovery before you try to get OTA to check if you have stock recovery already after performing "unroot2ota" (if not - you need to use PC Odin to flash recovery.img packed in tar file).
- It is recommended to temporarily disable "Auto-update apps" in Play Store settings before you unroot your device. It will prevent updating applications covered by Safe De-Bloat list, as there apps will temporarily appear until you re-root the phone after performing OTA update.
Note (devices which use dm-verity): You should never allow /system modifications in TWRP, never allow to remount /system r/w in any app (e.g. Root Explorer, FlashFire, etc.) and never flash a ZIP file which could modify your /system or remount it r/w. Failure to follow these recommendations will break dm-verity verification and will cause, that your device may not be able to boot with the stock kernel (you will need to re-flash your original FW using PC Odin to make your device bootable).
2. Making your own modifications:
- You can systemlessly replace any existing system app by modded one. Just put modified app to /data/devbase/system/app or /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then reboot your device
- You can systemlessly replace jar or apk in /system/framework. Just put modified one to /data/devbase/system/framework and then reboot your device (NOTE: framework support has been added for advanced users -> there is high risk of bootloop if you do something wrong!)
- You can systemlessly add or override any line in /system/build.prop. Just put (only new or changed) line to /data/devbase/system/build.prop and then reboot your device (NOTE: one additional auto-reboot will be performed if /data/devbase/system/build.prop file has been added, modified or removed. It is not a bug - it is required for the changes in /data/devbase/system/build.prop to take effect!)
- You can systemlessly replace any existing file in /system/csc and /system/etc (but NOT in subdirectories). Just put modified copy of a file to /data/devbase/system/csc or /data/devbase/system/etc and then reboot device
Limitations: original app or file MUST physically exist with the same name in /system, you can NOT add a new app or file this way!
Example 1 (Ad-Blocking): Download the latest Ad-Blocking ZIP installer from THIS thread. Extract "hosts" file (placed in /system/etc inside ZIP file), then copy it to /data/devbase/system/etc, set rw-r--r-- (644) permissions and then reboot device
Example 2 (modded SystemUI): Create "SystemUI" directory in /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then put modified "SystemUI.apk" file into it. Set rwxr-xr-x (755) permissions to "SystemUI" directory, rw-r--r-- (644) permissions to "SystemUI.apk" and then reboot device
Example 3 (De-Bloating a bit more): You can just create empty directories in /data/devbase/system/app (or priv-app) corresponding to applications in /system/app (or priv-app). Alternatively (more advanced method), you can add an app to modded enforceskippingpackages.txt file (you can find it in /data/devbase/system/etc or /data/devbase/system/csc_contents, depending on the original location in /system) and increase number in the 1st line. Second method should not be used by beginners (without a basic knowledge related to UNIX text format)
3. How to manually maintain the newest ROM version:
If you do not care about OTA - you can manually update your device to the newest ROM available @ Sammobile, keeping your original CSC (you need multi-file original FW, I mean separate files for BL/AP/CP/CSC). You need to download 2 ROMs: ROM with the newest changelist and the latest ROM containing your original CSC. Extract both and open in PC Odin BL/AP/CP files from the ROM with highest changelist but open CSC file from the ROM containing your CSC (I recommend to use HOME_CSC_* file to avoid auto-wipe-data). Flash such "mix", re-root and enjoy

Reserved

There is new version available
Changelog
v1.1:
- Added SYSTEMLESS support for /system/framework
- Added SYSTEMLESS support for /system/build.prop (overrides & additions)
- Added major Android update detection (auto-remove mods for older API to prevent bootloops & FCs)
- Added BusyBox bionic (the most stable and respected release)
- Added logging to /data/devbase/last_boot.log (API & errors)
- Added SuperSU boot patcher version checker (exits su.d boot script if < 2.76)
- Added "Please DO NOT wipe /cache" warning in case of encrypted devices and TWRP recovery
- Minor changes & optimizations in the shell code
- Added SYSTEMLESS DevBase uninstaller
Download link:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_v1.1.zip <<
Since new version has many more features -> there are more possibilities of bootloop (especially if you are playing with framework mods). I have created DevBase remover to let you get out from bootloop. Of course uninstaller does NOT "know" which mod caused the problem, so it will not remove any file from /data/devbase directory, it will remove only /su/su.d/0000000devbase boot script to make your device bootable (again) so you can manually delete problematic mod:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_remover.zip <<

Another update:
v1.3:
- Fixed CscFeature MOD (e.g. G920I case, now should work with all Samsung devices/variants)
v1.2:
- Added info in Settings/About device/Software info/Build number (can be overrided by editing /data/devbase/system/build.prop)
- unroot2ota: added ability to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-from-boot.p file (no guarantee)
- unroot2ota: check /system partition for common modifications before unroot
- Minor changes & improvements in the shell code

PREVIOUS FINAL VERSION 2.81 - mixed code with chainfires and phh superusers - was working on most Huawei Devices:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=183923
How Do Root:​A) You need unlocked Bootloader and the TWRP related for your device installed!
TWRP for Huawei P9 Nougat you can find here - with Decryption Support by Recognized Developer OldDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
B) Look into your settings: Developer options must be enabled and inside: ADB Debugging and USB Debugging, as well as in settings/advanced settings/security "Allow unknown sources" PC should have the driver installed for connecting Phone in Fastboot Mode.
C) Make a TWRP Backup of - boot.img - data - system -vendor - before flashing SuperSUfor EMUI 5 - if one version dont work on your Huawei Device as it should, restore original boot.img with TWRP and try one of the other versions.
Note: If your Phone is not rooted -just flash SuperSU 2.81 EMUI 5 and reboot - Phone boots up two times and with the second boot you come back to your homescreen with Root.
If your Phone is rooted und you want update SuperSU - dont flash over existing Root, do following steps:
1) Copy SuperSU-2.82.zip to your external SD
2) Make a Complete Unroot from SuperSU App!
3) SuperSU ask: "Should SuperSU restore original boot.img" - check YES (2 times)
4) Phone reboots - dont wait but in the moment your screen is black press VOL+ Button and hold it the whole time until you are booted to TWRP.
5) In TWRP go to install and select SuperSU 2.82, swype to install
6) Search on Homescreen for SuperSU App and open it - look if you're done - if yes =good
NEXT STEPS ONLY IF ROOTING WAS NOT SUCCESFUL OR IF SUPERSU APK CANNOT UNROOT OR RESTORE BOOT.IMG:
Flash original (unmodified) boot.img with Fastboot - or restore boot.img from the Stock TWRP Backup (boot) of same Firmware
- if restored from TWRP Backup, dont restart system, go back and - flash SuperSU
- if flashed instead with Fastboot - disconnect USB from Device and with Power and VOL+ boot to TWRP and flash SuperSU
Note 2: If you are own the SuperSU PRO Version - you have just to update the SuperSU-Pro.apk directly from SuperSU "Upgrade to Pro Version". You will redirected to Playstore, install the Update!
If your Phone has a Custom Rom like Nougat KangV Rom - you can try to flash over existing Root - if it dont work (its different: for most will work, for some not) you can do:
Unroot with following steps:
0) KangV Roms for Nougat come with prerooted boot.img. SuperSU 2.82 should be able to patch and update it - just try.
If the update fails it would be good to find (or have) the original unmodified boot.img for the Firmware on which Rom is based and restore this.
1) Look into your settings: Developer options must be enabled and inside: ADB Debugging and USB Debugging, as well as in settings/advanced settings/security "Allow unknown sources" PC should have the driver installed for connecting Phone in Fastboot Mode.
2) Copy SuperSU 2.82 EMUI 5 to your external SD
3) Open old or not properly working SuperSU and make a "complete Unroot" - when SuperSU ask you 2 times "Do you want to restore original boot.img" check: YES
Maybe it is successful - perhaps not - if yes:
4) Phone reboots - but it cannot reboot to system!!
5) Instead booting to system you come into Huawei eRecovery - just make SHUTDOWN.
Now same steps, if the restore of original boot.img was not succesful - you must restore original (unmodifiied) boot.img from Firmware. If you have a TWRP-Backup from unrooted original boot.img restore it and go to 8) - if you have not a TWRP Backup for restore - go to step 6)
6) Connect Phone with USB to PC and with Vol- and Power start Phone into fastboot mode.
7) Flash unmodified boot.img with Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Disconnect phone from USB.
8) Press VOL+ with the finger of your left hand and press it all the time and with the finger of your right hand press Power Button.
9) Phone boot up and soon as Huawei Logo is shown on screen, release the Power Button but stay pressing VOL+ the whole time until you are in TWRP.
10) Flash SuperSU 2.82 EMUI 5
11) Phone boots up now two times and will finally boot to system.
12) search for SuperSU on Homescreen - its not on your usual place, its somwhere else on homescreen - open it and you should have now clean SuperSU 2.82
Do this steps just, if you had problems with flashing 2.82
Please report if you rooted your device successful / not succesful - and give information about your Device-model, Build number, TWRP-Version (fully or not properly working, ist it able to mount data with f2fs, make backup and restore?...)

Thank you ​

Thanks for the great job.

how do you root it if it's still not rooted? I lost root when I upgraded to nougat and never found out how to get it back

Thanks for job, but 2.81 version is really works? Because the 2.79 is not fully good: there was 1 problem: doesn't delete system programs with the Titanium Backup.

You just need the right TWRP and then flash SuperSU zip, reboot phone without wipe of Dalvik /Cache
Which phone model to you have?

You need also a good busybox 1.26.2 - I always use the one from YashdSaraf (xda)

This SuperSU works fully - but we talked about TitaniumBackup and this would may work better with Busybox.
Root without Busybox is like a tree without leaves.
I have not tested yet, if SuperSU works in case of TitaniumBackup without Busybox.
But you can test it by yourself.
And if your friend make it better let him do this Job - but don't discuss with me about Busybox

I have the same issues but these might be unrelated to the most recent SuperSU version. I cannot uninstall system apps and I can't "frost" system apps in Titanium Backup (I have pro version).
Also some other root apps don't work correctly like:

Good idea to set temporarily SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive. :good:
I made also second version of SuperSU 2.81 for EMUI 5, which enables SELinux durable to permissive.
But I didn't post it here.
I don't know if people would like to have this.

Contributors:
Tecalote
German-Thread:https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p9.2808/huawei-p9-rom-android-7-0-emui-5-0-1-magicrainbow-v3-by-tecalote.859343.html
I'm happy to present you my third version of MagicRainbow ROM for P9-EVA
Custom ROM based on European EMUI 5.0.1 Firmware b394
Release-Date: 12. December, 2017
You can flash over Firmware b386+ until b395
- not tested over higher Firmware Versions
Security-Patch-Level: 6. November, 2017 – Krack fixed
Developed on: EVA-L09, tested also on EVA-L19
Data-Files Patches: for EVA-L19c432 and EVA-L19, EVA-L29 cust 185 and cust 636
Data Files for Chinese Brandings – not yet, but possible - just ask
EVA-L09c432 don’t need data file patch – just flash Rom
Advanced-Settings made by KangV from Huawei Rom Team: for b394 - optional flashable
KangV Settings developed on EVA-AL10 – Hide Naviagation Bar don’t work on European Brandings
Current Status: stable
Requirements:
P9 EVA-L09 - EVA-L19 - EVA-L29 - without Provider-Branding
Unlocked Bootloader
Required Firmware: Android 7 b386+ (and higher)
Installed TWRP – I recommend you to use my extended Version of OldDroids TWRP 3.1.1-1
In settings of TWRP ) disable "Keep vendor partition mounted" - but keep the setting as it is: "Exclude OEM Path from data Wipe"
You can flash from Stock Firmware as well as from EMUI based Custom Roms (like MagicRainbow v2, @dkionline ROM and so on)
Installation-Guide:
For clean flashing delete your PINs and Fingerprint(s) in current system
If you have Xposed Framework installed – uninstall it, if you decide to flash dirty
Download the Files you need, copy it to your external SD and boot to TWRP
If you decide to make Nandroid Backup with TWRP or you like to wipe internal storage – do so, but after go back to main menu and "Reboot" RECOVERY – to restart TWRP before flashing steps
If your current system has Root – make Unroot now in TWRP
For SuperSU flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip (download from this site): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
For Magisk flash Magisk-Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller
After you have flashed Unroot with TWRP go back to main menu and choose “Reboot” RECOVERY – to restart TWRP
Go to Advanced Wipe – for clean flashing choose: data, cache and dalvik/cache – all other partition will be wiped by the ROM Script
For dirty flashing – wipe only dalvik/cache and cache – but I recommend clean flashing to have best results
Go back to main menu and open “Mount” – uncheck everything except “Micro SD” – Partitions will be mounted by the ROM Script
Now navigate to “Install” and flash MagicRainbow v3
After flashing, don’t wipe Dalvik/Cache again! – If your Phone is EVA-L09c432 you can just reboot now (first start will be until 9 min, if you took SuperSU Edition you have one extra loop)
But if your Phone is EVA-L19 or EVA-L29 – you must doing following step before Reboot Phone:
Go back to main menu, “Reboot” RECOVERY to restart TWRP and then flash the data-files_patch.zip for your Phone (EVA-L09 don’t need this step)
Setup your phone
KangV Advanced Settings:
If you decide to use KangV-Settings, which bring you a lot of customization for your Phone - you can flash the right version for Magisk-Edtition ROM or SuperSU-Edition ROM after setup.
At this Point many thanks to KangV for his great Settings!
If you decide to use another Launcher like Nova – don’t change the Launcher before flashing KangV Advanced Settings (if you like to use this Mod)
The Reboot after flashing KangV Settings needs a bit longer than normal reboot
KangV Settings for Magisk-Edition installs additional KernelAudiutor App. If you open the App you can enable init.d (optional)
If you decide to install Xposed Framework with Magisk-Edition, install it from Modul section of Magisk Manager (SDK 24) – but it will break safetynet!
Safetynet cannot come back “green” once you have Xposed activated on Magisk-Editon, even if you uninstall it – reinstalling ROM brings green safetynet back
With KangV Settings for SuperSU-Edition you can enable in More settings: Xposed Framework. Phone make reboot (start needs bit longer than usual) and you will find on a blank site of homescree the Xposed Installer for download and manager modules. In KangV Settings you can also disable Xposed Framework. So you can switch between enabled and disabled.
Xposed Framework has a FIX to stay activated (this Bug was on several Huawei Phones). The Fix comes together with KangV Settings.
KangV Settings installs additional PMPlus App – you can use it optional, if you like to activate “Auto-Launch” in Phonemanager.
If yes, just open the App PMPlus, go to install and after close the App. Open Phonemanager and you find additional: “Auto-Launch”. But now you must activate Autostarts of Apps manually, otherwise they would not start at boot or in the background. If you decide to use this, it is required to enable Magisk Manager /SuperSU in Auto-Launch– without enabling it to autostart Root cannot work. You must also enable Apps, which should receive Push-Notifications!
If you don’t like do manage everything by yourself, don’t open PMPlus, just uninstall the App with Settings /Apps before using.
The ROM is European, but Advanced Settings are made by KangV. He comes from China, thats why the Lunar component is activated.
To disable chinese letters in statusbar, go to Advanced Settings /Notification settings and disable "Show statusbar lunar"
Important notice:
Don’t use in More settings: “Disable Google Services” – and don’t use “Hide Navigation Bar” in Navigation bar settings. This is working only for Chinese Region.

Download data-files_patches (EVA-L09c432 doesn’t need!!):
Note: In the moment ROM is already flashed - dont reboot system now, if you have another model/cust than L09c432 - go back to main menu and go to Restart - BUT NOT SYSTEM, you must reboot RECOVERY to restart TWRP. Then go again to install and flash the (right) data-files_patch.zip for your device!
If you would flash it directly after ROM without restart TWRP it would not be succesful installed, because the Mountpoints after flashing ROM are busy. Thats why its neccesary to reboot TWRP after ROM Installation and then flash data-files_patch according to your model and cust!

HWOTA zips for updating Stock or going back to Stock
Here is a very easy way going back from MagicRaibow-v3 to original Huawei Firmware with HWOTA.zip - but you have to do it with the right steps!
Note: To go back from MRv3 → to Stock b394, you can use the Download Files and this Guide. For other Firmwareupdates, you find a Guide here. It is described, how you can use this method simple by yourself: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Credits:
Many thanks to @Atarii for special Recovery - without this it would not possible!
Users can go back from this ROM to original Huawei Firmware with following steps - you dont need Unroot !
You have no risk to test this ROM and can easy go back to Stock. It should work from every Stock based Custom Rom.
It worked also from RROS -> Stock b394
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75155089&postcount=314
It can also be used to upgrade from Stock b386 -> Stock b394
Note:
1) If you had first Stock Firmware b395 - and had installed after MRv3 ROM and want later go back to Stock Firmware - you must use the b395 HWOTA.zip. You cannot directly update to b397 or b398! That would fail! Thats why you use first b395 HWOTA.zip, after b397 HWOTA.zip and at last b398 HWOTA.zip
2) If you had first Stock Firmware b386 - and had installed MRv2 and later directly flashed MRv3 (over MRv2 without updating the Firmware) - you must use the b394 HWOTA.zip. After you can update to b397 and in the next step to b398. You cannot update from b394 directly to b398 - that would fail!
The right steps of flashing HWOTA.zips are dependend on which official Firmware you had installed before using my Rom (or any other).
b386 -> b394 -> b397 -> b398 (b397 and b398 only for L09 and L19 c432 at the moment) or:
b395 -> b397 -> b398
If your bootloader get closed (this is for example the case if you update from b386 to b394) you must reopen the bootloader and then phone makes low-lewel-wipe factoryreset. It is important that this reset is 100% successful - if not, you must perform this kind of reset manually (before delete all your pins, fingerprints and Accounts like Google, WhatsApp, Skype etc:
settings -> advanced settings -> backup & reset -> Factory data reset -> Erase internal storage -> Reset phone (internal storage will be wiped!)
Guide:
0. Make Backup of your stuff and copy folders from internal Storage to a folder on external SD (WhatsApp folder, DCIM, Pictures, Downloads...) Be sure in Developer Options is 1) ADB Debugging in charging mode and 2) USB Debugging enabled and of course 3) OEM Unlock (should be enabled by default if you are using Custom Rom)
1. Download right HWOTA.zip for your Device and Cust - unzipp it on PC - you have now unzipped HWOTA folder
2. Copy unzipped HWOTA folder to the main directory of your EXTERNAL SD (dont place it in subfolders!)
3. HWOTA folder contains 3 Files:
A) Folder with number (it is the correct Number of Firmware-Version) Inside are 3 zipped Firmware-Files - dont touch it, dont unzipp it!
B) EVA_xxx_nocheckrecovery.img
C) hwota_update.zip
4. Boot to TWRP and navigate to the HWOTA folder and flash hwota_update.zip
5. Screen become black and in a view seconds Stock Recovery is flashed and Firmware is loaded
6. EMUI Software Installing installs now the originial Firmware, wait until it is 100% and device will reboot
7. Go to settings /advanced settings/ Backup and restore and do a Factoryreset with wipe of internal Storage
8. Soon Factoryreset is finished and device begin to reboot, press Vol+ on your Phone to boot into Stock Recovery instead of system
9. Make Wipe Cache Partition!
10. Now you have clean original Stock Huawei Firmware and if a OTA is avialable - you can do it without problems (but SIM must be inserted)
Note: During the Upgrade - the Firmware zips inside the unzipped HWOTA folder on external SD will be deleted by Stock Recovery (unzipped folder can be used just onetimes) - if you decide to use it again in another situation keep the downloaded zip....

I couldn't wait and I installed from the DE forum. Dirty Flash on L19C432. Except the bug on K-Settings with left alignment, this is a blazing fast Rom. Thank you very much!

I want to use MagicRainbow with supersu and KanV settings I should download this one right ?
KangV-Settings_MRv3_SuperSuEd: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617953680
I have stock b394 with twrp 3.1.1 and supersu.
Could I make these steps.
- twrp flash unsu
- reboot to twrp
- advanced wipe data, cache and dalvik/cache
- Mount – uncheck everything except “Micro SD”
- Install and flash MagicRainbow v3
reboot

Yes, right
You need this KangV zip in addition for the SuperSU Edition Rom.
The steps are right.
Flash first ROM and wait until it reboot to the system (don't panic - first boot will be canceled by systemless Rooting with SuperSU, after it boots up again and needs maybe 9 minutes to start into EMUI Setup)
After setup you can boot again to TWRP and flash KangV Settings zip.
If you decide to change Huawei Launcher to Nova (or whatever) do it after flashing KangV Settings.
Wish you success and much fun with MagicRainbow

I am new to the huawei scene. I have worked on a lot of samsung projects but this is a completely new world. I have been using your v2 for a week and now cant wait to use v3. Keep up the good work mate.

Came from NewWorld 7, finally on Nougat this rom is fantastic, everything works so far, thank you very much Tecalote.

What's the difference between Magisk and SuperSU? Any major differences that would help? And also, when you have super su that means you can have Xposed? Thank you in advance and for the good rom

If you like to use Xposed Framework - take SuperSU Edition and flash after first setup KangV Settings.
It includes a patch for Xposed Framework.
You can enable/disable in KangV Advanced Settings /More Settings /Xposed Framework the Framework.
After enabling it you must reboot and find then Xposed Installer on a blank site of Homescreen. (for download and activate Modules)
Magisk Edition is for green safetynet, without Xposed.
Xposed cannot have green safetynet

On almost Huawei Phones Xposed Framework after reboot is deactivated by itself - it's a Bug on EMUI.
But not in this SuperSU Edition Rom with KangV Settings.
Xposed Framework will stay enabled until you decide to disable it

Can I somehow add used mobile data to notification screen, like it was on NewWorld 7?

Nope, not in the European Firmware Rom.
NewWorld was on Android 6 with Chinese Cust.
It was working in European Regions - but no more in Android 7.
Nougat has more restricted rules and laws.
BTW: It was a part of the Phonemanager like the Permission Manager, which was available on Android 5 in Europe, and in Android 6 which Chinese Rom on European Phones.
It's interesting :
Phonemanager apk is the same on EVA-AL10 - there it has all those features.
But not on our branding.
I found no hack until now - but I am working on it
But otherwise Google Services are not running properly on Chinese Branding
That's difficult...

Magisk Manager Update available (for Magisk Edition)
If you restart Phone or open Magisk Manager may you receive an Update notification in statusbar and the phone vibrates - Magisk show you an Update for the Manager (Version 5.5.0.80). You can open native settings /apps / Magisk Manager /permissions and allow Magisk the permission for storage or you will get the question, if you open Magisk Manager (allow it). After let Magisk Manager download and install the new version.
Changelog see screenshots. After the update I had in advanced options "force encryption" enabled. if you get the same setting automatically, keep this as is

But you can also setup in Phonemanager "mobile data" and open the settings symbol and make there your settings (even possible notification in Statusbar)
After reboot your phone and after a while you receive notifications..
It's not the same than in NewWorld, but similar

my wifi turn off sometimes after the screen goes off. I have the same issue on bluewei with base B394.

Have you flashed the L19 patch for your cust immediately after flashing Rom before first Reboot?
Have you checked different settings?
1) In native settings /WLAN / WLAN+ should be enabled.
2) In settings /Akku right above the settings symbol / WLAN in Standby Mode = always on
(same setting for mobile data =always on)

Welcome to S4 Unfied Guides!
!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.​
INSTALL BOOTLOADER & MODEM
You can flash Bootloader & Modem with two methods:
Combined: [Recommended]
1. Download Odin and the COMBINED BOOTLOADER _MODEM.tar for your variant to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot your device to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.down + Home Button and run Odin from your PC as administrator.
3. Put the COMBINED BOOTLOADER_MODEM.tar to AP section, untick Auto-Reboot, flash!
4. When It's done, reboot your device by pressing Power Button for couple of seconds.
Seperate:
1. Download Odin, the BOOTLOADER.tar and MODEM .tar for your variant to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot your device to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.down + Home Button and run Odin from your PC as administrator
3. Put the BOOTLOADER to BL section and MODEM to CP section, untick Auto-Reboot and flash!
4. When It's done, reboot your device by pressing Power Button for couple of seconds.
Notes:
Check what version of Modem and Bootloader you have with apps like Device Info HW.
If Modem & Bootloader didn't changed to the version you wanted, do the same steps again with the method you have selected.
If for some reason Odin failed to flash, make sure your run Odin as adminstrator, try to change USB Port in your PC and don't move the cable during flash. Also if you have Odin and the files on an External hard drive, move Odin and all the files you want to flash, into one folder to your Main Drive for example C: drive.
For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock ROM then you need to have QK1 Modem/Bootloader. On Custom ROMs doesn't matter. You can have any Modem/BL of your variant you want but recommend is always the latest.
INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
ODIN Method (No TWRP Recovery currently installed)
1. Download Odin and the .tar file of the TWRP to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Download Mode by pressing Power Button + Vol.Down + Home Button.
3. Run Odin as adminstrator > connect your device to PC > put the .tar file of TWRP in AP section > untick Auto-Reboot in options and flash.
4. Done! Restart to TWRP Recovery. (power button+vol.up+home button)
Recovery Method (TWRP Recovery already installed)
1. Download .img of TWRP Recovery. [You can find everything in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.
6. Go back and Reboot to Recovery.
7. Done! Your new recovery should be installed.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
Note: If you have issues after flash check possible solutions here:
Check integrity of all downloads (compare checksums), do the downloads again.
Make sure you Wiped everything and Formated Data (format data not just wipe) except external SDCard and USB OTG.
Flash only the ROM (without GApps and Magisk) and check if the problem persists. If yes, flash another ROM.
Try other GApps package.
If nothing helps, go back to stock and start from scratch.
Note: You can also Flash Custom ROM using ADB sideload Method.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Install the latest Bootloader & Modem for your S4 variant. [Read the Install Bootloader & Modem Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
TWRP Recovery.
Custom ROM of your choice.
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARM and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root. [Optional]
4. Move all these files in one folder to your PC or to External SDCard if you have one.
5. Install TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Turn off your device and Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Connect your device to PC while you are on TWRP and transfer into Internal Storage, the ROM, GApps etc. and the files you want to flash.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk (you need to download it again if you previously had it in Internal Storage) then reboot to system and enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System and Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional]
5. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
CLEAN INSTALL OFFICIAL STOCK ROM
Note: For Stock Rom to have your WiFi working you need to have the same version of Modem/BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock ROM then you need to have QK1 Modem/Bootloader. On Custom ROMs doesn't matter. You can have any Modem/BL of your variant you want but recommend is always the latest.
1. Download the latest stock ROM (Firmware), Modem & Bootloader for your variant, TWRP Recovery (.tar file) and ODIN to your PC. [You can find everything in my Collection]

BATTERY TIPS
Samsung Galaxy S4 Battery Model: B600BE
Battery Replacment (Video)
Advanced Guide
Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Method 1
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Method 2
Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
Steps:
1. Get "GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
8. Unplug and have fun!
Battery Capacity Health
Notes:
1) Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.
To find battery capacity in Windows:
Enable Developer options in your device.
Enable USB Debugging in your device.
Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.
To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
Download an android terminal app like Termux,
Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

ShutUP10++ , Privacy.Sexy: Disable major tracking features of Windows.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at Droid-ify.
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUp10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

Initial Release

Hi guys,
I can't manage to install the Bootloader & Modem via Odin on my phone.
Does the phone need to be already rooted in order to install the B&M?
Attached is also the capture I took when rebooting the phone in Download mode.
I selected "reboot to bootloader" in order to install the B&M, because otherwise Odin won't detect that the phone is connected to the PC. Probably I'm doing something wrong.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How did you do that? I'm not aware of such a reboot option.
You should boot into download mode (see above for how to). It should look like attached picture 1
In Odin, before you start flashing, you should see a success message "<ID ... Added!! If not, you should check if you have all required driver installed for your device.

Hi Retrial, first of all this is a really useful post thank you so much!
I just bought a brand new S4 GT-I9505 and I used the latest TWRP in your post wich is twrp-3.5.1_9-0-jflte.img.tar for flashing lineage-17.1-20210116-UNOFFICIAL-jflte.zip and I have some question if you are so kind to aswer me:
I want to update the firmware so I downloaded the last one for Italy from Updato.com which is I9505XXUHPK2 (Genuary 2017) and I would like to know if is a good idea to flash it with Odin and if I have to fresh re-installing Lineage. Then I would like to know if after updating the firmware I can update only XXUHQC1_BOOTLOADER and XXUHQC1_COMBINED which are the international versions and obviously the most recent versions.
Do you think is possible? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards

Hello,
If you flash firmware u need to reflash lineageos from start along with twrp. U can only do it via Odin.
Btw use the latest for your variant from my collection. Doesn't matter the country.
Flashing firmware=flashing stock rom. Why u want to do that if u are already in los?
You can flash bootloader and modem seperate yes (but I recommend to use my combined .tar which include both of them), without the need to flash everything again. Just go to Odin and flash the combined .tar I have made to AP. Once again, all the latest versions are included in my collection, doesn't matter the country so just use them.
All the infos and steps you need are in my collection and guides. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi thanks for your fast response! I want to flash an updated firmware because my S4 GT-I9505 is new and probably from an old stock so the firmware is for sure the old one (2013-2014) ,right now in lineage os in setting/info I can't see the current version of baseband. I don't care if I have to re-install Lineage and the recovery, I had to do it before installing Lineage, I know I forgot it... but I wanted just to know if is possible to do now without breaking something. Now you say that it doesn't make sense and that is better to just flash your combined Modem and Bottloader package, is it correct? What's your advice: installing your last complete firmware or just the combined Bootloader and Modem package? I red somewhere in this forum that it's better to update the firmware before installing lineage so I wanted to do the installation again in the right way. Sorry if it's an annoying question I'm not an expert and I want just to be sure. Thank you so much for your support.

Just follow what Retrial said; flashing his combo-file will accomplish what you want. Starting from scratch like you wanna do isn't any better.
I flashed bootloaders and modems so often, I can't even remember. Flashing stock firmware? Maybe once!

Firmware=Stock Samsung ROM. Firmware does not include Modem & Bootloader. So even if u flash Firmware u have to also flash Bootloader & Modem.
Now you say that u are on lineageos, I don't know what version you are but you can flash via Odin the combined .tar file which include Bootloader & Modem and then clean install via TWRP the latest LineageOS along with latest GApps if you use.
If you want to start from scratch-fresh then follow my Guides: "Clean Install Official Stock ROM" and then the guide "Clean Install Custom ROM".
With few words: go to TWRP wipe everything, the connect ur device to PC and flash via Odin the latest Firmware (stock ROM). Let it boot and then flash via Odin the latest Bootloader & Modem. Then flash TWRP and clean install the latest LineageOS with GApps (optional).
Everything you need is on my collection and all steps in my guides. Since u have i9505 variant you need the latest Firmware/Modem & Bootloader which is I9505XXUHQK1.
Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.

Wow your instructions are absolutely detailed and useful, thank you so much Retrial for your support.! I'll opt for the "start from scratch-fresh" install by following your guides. If I can take advantage of your competence I would like to ask you just one last advice: I switched to Lineage OS for privacy reasons (I don't like google so I don't need GApps) and I also use it for sharing internet to my MacBook Pro with USB tethering (not wifi tethering which is not safe for privacy) so do you think that the Optimized Lineage OS (Android 10) version from JDCTeam is the right version for me? May I use the Android 11 version? Probably I'm asking you to much things and I can understand if you can't answer me, you have been really kind and I really appreciated your help. Anyway I'll post here my experience with "start from scratch-fresh instal" .

Anything for the AT&T S4 Active (+) variant?

Don't worry mate, ask whatever you want. I will help if I can.
Optimized LineageOS 10 is great but it's EOL (end of life). Optimized LineageOS 11 is also great and it's currently under development.
But since you are looking for privacy & security it's better to use Official LOS with guarantee monthly security patches cause lately optimized los stays a bit behind on updates. (Dev is busy) Soon official 11 will also be released.

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

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 apk/zip to device (Alternatively use USB storage)

Haleluja, its here!! Great amazing work! OMG I'm so excited! Let's go!!
Thanks alot !!! Finally I can unpack my S22 Ultra ^^ and use it as real Phone
Proud to be the first worldwide to have a Custom ROM, FULL ROOT, Adblock etc on a S22 Ultra Exynos
Community LOVE for you!! ♥♥♥♥♥
EDIT: HERE IS THE GUIDE TO USE FOR EXYNOS (still testing)
Ok, so basically find and download the firmware (S908BXXU1AVC6 for EU - or ask me for the File..) to the phone eather with the Phone itself or trought USB-Cable, install magisk.apk from here, unpack the zip file from Firmware and patch the ap file via magisk, get the files to the pc and use odin to flash the patched Firmware.
of course unlock bootloader before and go to download mode.
Here is how to do that:
Guide to root Galaxy S22 Ultra (B/E/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)
Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

You can try on exynos (only module, no root files). If it doesn't work then maximum you needs is to factory reset.
In that case I may consider to make separate rom

I think its much better to make separate only for Exnos variant? So that files for SD will not be included, correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also been using your ROM since my Note 9.

Huge thx my bro

ok, so great news, it works at least for exynos as well!
Safetynet also works!
Problems so far:
Can't change my keyboard - UI restarts
com.android.phone closes down
and it says system is unstable - please do a factory restore - on boot up.
But all in all it seems to work, with root etc.

Thx Dr My bro. Hopefully we can have the Exynos version seperatly if possible and not too much of your time consuming.
