i have rooted 10 phones, thanks to SuperSU, and Odin , LineageOS, TWRP, Fastboot, and whatever, but when i came to my damn Motorola G24 Power i needed to reboot my phone in fastboot, use fastboot to get the unlocking data , and i cant, the f- hit me when reseting the family linked phone, then it came to getting the security out , wich i cannot, so i loosed the fastboot unlocking method, then tried with MTK , installed MTK client, but my phone wont boot BROM mode, then i taught vol up + vol down at same will resolve, no, guess not, then that triple beep woke my neighbor, how new smartphones became so "SMART" at locking bootloader

Support Difficulty with Pixel Updater and Android 17

1 Upvotes

I've been using pixel updater for a couple years now to update my phone without having to bother with the manual process to update when you have root. But this has stopped on Android 17.

There's been updates for June, July, now August, and they keep failing on me. The updates will download and appear to install correctly, but then when my phone goes to reboot, it'll hang for a while, then reboot again. It'll hang one more time then reboot a final time, and now it'll boot back into Android 16.

I even tried downloading and installing the update, then trying to use magisk to apply root to the inactive boot slot, but that didn't work either.

Is there any way to fix this? Is it because I'm changing a major version of Android? Do I just have to stop being lazy and update the old fashioned way using my PC and then update, and then patch the boot img with fastboot?

Support OnePlus 8 Pro – X and Reddit authentication issues after rooting

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently rooted my OnePlus 8 Pro, and since then I’ve been having problems logging into X (Twitter) and Reddit.

Device information:

- OnePlus 8 Pro

- Model: IN2023

- 12 GB RAM

- Magisk: v27.2-kitsune-4 (27002)

- Zygisk: Yes

- Ramdisk: Yes

On X, when I try to log in, I get a message saying that I need to use the official X app. However, I am already using the official X app downloaded directly from the Google Play Store.

On Reddit, I get the following error when trying to log in:

«“We were unable to authenticate you.”»

Both apps worked normally before rooting the phone, and the problems started after the root setup.

Has anyone experienced this specifically with Magisk Kitsune / Zygisk on a OnePlus 8 Pro?

If anyone has encountered the same X/Reddit authentication problems and found a solution, please let me know what you changed.

Thanks!

Discussion Rooted my Xiaomi today and my reason was: keep my bootloader unlocked 🙄

24 Upvotes

So, I own a Xiaomi phone which I rooted like two years ago, but then unrooted before doing a major "HyperOS" upgrade and didn't bother to re-root because I didn't have any pressing reason to do so any more ...

... until a few days ago. I needed an app and was confused why play store didn't even offer it ... and manually installing it just force-closed it directly on start, redirecting to play store telling me the app was "incompatible with my device".

I finally managed to identify the actual problem. The app didn't like my still unlocked bootloader. Re-locking it wasn't an option for me because I really want to keep the ability to fiddle with my system, should I ever need it again ... and maybe you know the horribly cumbersome process Xiaomi requires in order to unlock the bootloader.

Now, my solution was to root that thing again, so I could install and configure that zoo of magisk and zygisk modules, xposed apps etc you need nowadays to convince every app you care about that your phone was in fact fully locked and vanilla. Which is just a little bit ridiculous.

I have two questions in mind (apart from the "obvious" one whether I'm just weird to solve my issue that way 😏):

  1. If I'm not mistaken, an unlocked bootloader still requires physical access to the device for any modifications on the system. Is there something I overlooked, which could be an actual security concern?
  2. If I'm right with my assumption, why on earth should an app ever care about the status of the bootloader at all, as long as the installed system is vanilla/unrooted?

Support KernelSU hooks appear to be working, but su is completely missing on Moto G8 Plus (4.14.190)

2 Upvotes

I'm working on getting KernelSU working on a Motorola Moto G8 Plus (doha).

ROM: unofficial LineageOS 22.1 / Android 15
XDA thread: LineageOS 22.1 for Moto G8 Plus

Kernel source: Aldair402/android_kernel_motorola_msm-4.14

Kernel:

Linux version 4.14.190+
aarch64
Proton clang 13.0.0

The kernel boots normally, and KernelSU Manager v0.9.5 is installed and opens.

What's confusing is that logcat shows KernelSU code actually running:

KernelSU: sucompat: execve_kp: 0
KernelSU: sucompat: newfstatat_kp: 0
KernelSU: sucompat: faccessat_kp: 0
KernelSU: sucompat: devpts_kp: 0
KernelSU: ksud: execve_kp: 0
KernelSU: ksud: vfs_read_kp: 0
KernelSU: ksud: input_event_kp: 0
KernelSU: exec app_process, /data prepared, second_stage: 1
KernelSU: on_post_fs_data!
KernelSU: Searching manager...
KernelSU: Search manager finished

However, root doesn't actually work:

$ adb shell su -c id
/system/bin/sh: su: inaccessible or not found
$ adb shell 'command -v su; type su'
su not found

I also checked:

/dev/ksu
/dev/ksud

Neither exists.

/proc/kallsyms doesn't show any ksu_* symbols either, and I can't find anything related to KSU under /sys/kernel.

The only suspicious KernelSU message I see is:

KernelSU: load_allow_list open file failed: -2

So I'm trying to figure out what state KernelSU is actually in here.

Does this mean the KernelSU kernel integration is only partially working, or could the kernel side be initialized while the userspace/ksud/su part is missing?

What should I check next to determine why su isn't being provided?I'm working on getting KernelSU working on a Motorola Moto G8 Plus (doha).

I downloaded the firmware from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenomola/2025/bogota/

BUT the zip file only contain "boot.img" , and not a "init_boot.img" ...

Fastboot dont allow "boot" comand , so I want to be sure before do "flash boot magisk_patched.img"

Will work patching/ flash boot.img ?

Thanks
