Introduction

Use this guide to perform a battery cycle reset on your Samsung phone or tablet. You should perform this reset whenever you change the battery for your Samsung device.

This procedure currently only works for the S20, S21, S22, and Tab S7+ models. Fan Edition (FE) models are not supported. This guide will update as Samsung adds more compatibility. For more information, refer to the Samsung Self-Repair document.

Note: the device used is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, but the procedure is identical across all Samsung devices.

Step 1

Download the Self Repair Assistant app here.
You may be prompted with a "File might be harmful" warning. If so, select "Download anyway."
Open the "My Files" app.
Navigate to the "Installation files" tab on the left side of the screen.

Step 2

Select the app on the right side of the screen.
If the app doesn't show up on this panel, skip to the next step.
Select "Install" to confirm the app's installation.
Skip the next two steps.

Step 3

If your app didn't show up on the "Installation files" tab, follow the next two steps to rename the file.
Navigate to the "Downloads" tab on the left side of the screen.
Long press the download file until an orange checkmark appears to the left of it.
Navigate to the bottom of the screen and select the "More" option.

Step 4

Select the "Rename" option.
Delete the .jar at the end of the app's name.
Your file should now appear in the "Installation files" tab.

Select the Galaxy Cal app.

Bei meinem S20 FE 5G kommt beim Starten der App die Meldung:

Gibt es sonst noch eine Möglichkeit?

Wait until the battery cycle reset finishes.
You may need to reset your device for battery cycle reset to apply.

Set your phone date between 2021 to 2022

I installed the galaxy cal app on an S20, Android 13 too and when opening the app I get a message to try again after getting new version.

Tried on 3 devices, same result :(

Holger Dahlke -

Resetting the date was the right clue, thx :)

Holger Dahlke -

I have the same question that the application shows it needs updating before opening it. Version is SM-G9860, Oneui5.1

James Zhao -

note20 ultra show : This model is NOT supported! could you add note20 to this tool?

Fixxx -

I hope to see an increase in compatibility for the Note20 series.

Kaiming Zhang (土豆丝) -

Can you please add support for the fe series devices because I have an s20 fe 5g and need to replace my battery.

Joe Steve -

Would be nice to have, but not possible. As the Prolog says:

Diese Vorgehensweise funktioniert nur auf dem S20, S21, S22 und TabS7+ Modellen. Sie gilt nicht für Fan Edition (FE) Modelle. Diese Anleitung wird aktualisiert, sobald Samsung weitere Modelle hinzufügt.

"... Not suitable for the Fan Edition (FE) Modells. ..."

BenZ78 -

Can you please add s23 series support for in the future as I have an S23 Ultra. Also for those of you who have the "try again after getting new version" error just change your device's date to Oct. 1st 2022 or earlier.

Joe Steve -

No need to change the phones date just update the app after installing using the galaxy store.

Chris -

Does it work with a S20+ too?

Daniel -

Hallo,

danke für Euren Tipp.

Ich habe diese Version für mein S22 plus heruntergeladen und installiert. Nach dem Start der App, wollte die App aktualisiert werden. Habe ich gemacht und jetzt will die App eine Seriennummer meines Akkus. Version 2.0.10

Kann ich das irgend wie auslesen lassen?

Mfg
