    Root The one and only official SYSTEM-RW for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (and other devices) by lebigmac

    To get out of bootloop all you need to do is restore your original stock super.img and boot.img (and vbmeta.img if you want). Sometimes when the bootloop is very stubborn, the only way to fix it is by flashing your whole original stock firmware ROM (same firmware version as the one you're...

    you might want to disable the experimental ADB ROOT feature then by opening the file /data/local/tmp/sysrw_1.42/bin/superw with your favorite text editor and commenting out both lines #355 and #492 by placing # symbol in front of the line and then save file. You should restore your stock...

    Hi @v01ded Thanks for your feedback! Did you successfully get out of your bootloop by flashing back your original stock ROM? If you don't overwrite the userdata partition you shouldn't lose any personal data. If you want I can upload a Xiaomi script that will help you restore your device from...

    @Carlo99 which instructions are you following? There should be a readme file in there somewhere. I might have to update it... You don't need to disable file encryption in your fstab for my System-RW program to work on your device. These 2 things are not related to each other. You just have to...

    Hi Carlo99. You get bootloop even without flashing anything? That's interesting :unsure: Ok in order to get out of bootloop, restore your stock ROM with Odin. Regular Odin is just fine. If you reflash your original stock ROM (same version as you are currently running) you should not lose any...

    Hello @jhandeck Thanks for the kind words. That's a nice phone you've got. I've always been fascinated by Motorola devices. I wish they were actually available for purchase here in Europe... The file size of the super_patched.bin file should be much greater than 0 bytes. More like in the 6 - 8...

    Hello. Thanks for the kind words ;) I don't know I never tried DSU sideloader. Is it any good? Judging by the screenshots at github it looks really good :D. Do you actually need an unlocked bootloader to be able to use the new DSU feature? :unsure: I don't see why my script shouldn't work on a...

    Well if that's the case I'll have to dust off that S23 Ultra and polish my program some more for Samsung devices (Xiaomi user here). You can find out what file-system your device is using inside your fstab: cat /vendor/etc/*fstab* Latest version of my tool should support EXT4, EROFS as well as...

    Well the System-RW should work on pretty much all Samsung devices out there running Android 10 or later. For the FULL-RW and experimental ADB ROOT feature to work straight out of the box on ALL Samsung devices, I will have to invest some more hard work... It's been quite a busy year in real life...

    For Samsung users things get complicated. Why did Samsung deliberately remove the fastboot for their users to begin with?! :unsure: You must rename super_patched.bin to super.img and tar it and then reboot to download mode (just click reboot button in the ROM-Maker app and then reboot download)...

    Hi @Jessy89 Did you notice any errors in the log? Current version of my tool converts all your super partition's sub-partitions to EXT4 file-system format. By default Samsung only allows for the System sub-partition to be booted as EXT4 file-system format. Therefore in order to get the FULL-RW...

    Thanks for the log. How do you like that KernelSU? Is that an alternative to Magisk? If you write mount -o remount,rw / and no read-only error occurs that means it works. To verify you can type mount | grep ' / ' How would you feel if you were deleted from your own program that you came up with...

    If you're talking about the fake System-RW / Make-RW / ro2rw copycat by that dubious Russian cyber thief leegarchat then I wouldn't recommend it.

    Oh another Lenovo user. Great! How do you like the Lenovo device so far? EDIT: Ohh Lenovo actually bought Motorola. Cool. Ok do this. Root your phone with Magisk if you haven't done so already.

    Hi thanks for your feedback! I haven't received much feedback from Lenovo users to this date. I am happy that my System-RW script worked as expected on your device :D(y) It probably works because your super partition layout is similar to Oneplus devices with all those useless COW (copy on write)...

    Hi. You don't need to disable force encryption for my System-RW script to work on your device. Actually disable force encryption or DFE has absolutely nothing to do with having System-RW access to your device (or Full-RW for that matter). Launching my System-RW script through the external...

    Oh no bootloops are never good. And they are very difficult to debug properly... Great! I'm happy you were able to get out of that bootloop without data loss. In MIUI you can just run the included flash_all_except_storage.sh script file in such a scenario. From here I cannot tell you what...

    Hi thanks for the updated log. I checked it and it looks good to me. I couldn't spot any errors. This is stock MIUI firmware? What version ? The most recent version I've tested with is 14.0.2 I believe and no issues (except the mi_ext_a issue which should be an easy fix). Well to get out of...
