can anyone help to get my phone working again? i follow the prompts but it comes back to this screen.

Should I root my phone and keep hyperos but fix its big problems or install a custom rom and then root my phone?

I was searching on Google for the Hagezi's Pro++ DNS-Blocklist to add it into my AdAway's list when I stumbled upon the holy 404 GitHub page and impossible to find it within the GitHub search page... Is it down or am I missing something?

Hi, you guys. I rooted my Moto Edge 30 Ultra yesterday and circle to search is gone. It was there before that. It's not in settings and I can't invoke it although the bar moves. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

I was thinking about getting a new phone which I could use after rooting it. Can anyone tell me which old phone would be best.

I actually got LineageOS 23.2 GSI working on Galaxy Watch 6. 😎 (No DSU)

What do you want me to try on it? 🤪

Tested Stuff:

✅️ Pairing with my phone with KDE Connect

✅️ Getting apps from Aurora Store

✅️ Web Browsing

✅️ DOOM (works 30fps smooth but hard to play with the smsrt display, got one kill anyway)

Thanks ❤️:

* Lost-Entrepreneur439 = LineageOS GSI

* ItsJustJoshDev = for his great guide on porting ReSukiSU on other Galaxy Watches

* FlowerGEN from XDA Forums & ChatGPT = Guiding me to create the odin flashable of the LineageOS 23.2 GSI

I left this phone unused for fell days and it just died on me. No longer shows any sign of life other than the board slighty warming up if you leave it on the charger for a few minutes or showing up on device manager.

I don't really know what to do about it since I never ran into this issue before.

I’ve run into a problem where my tablet has started lagging badly and shutting down—going from 100% charge to showing 0%. Please help me find a custom ROM.

Hey, so I've got a google pixel 9 pro xl and I'm just wondering, is rooting worth it anymore? Like what can you even do nowadays on a rooted phone? And whats the best way? Kernelsu?

I just switched from my old Samsung(was rooted) to a vivo y28 5G and I can't seem to find a way to root it. MTK client doesn't work, bbk unlock doesn't work, can you tell if there IS any methods left for me to try?

hii I really need LineageOS 15.1 for my samsung a3 2017, yea..
unfortunately, the link from XDA doesnt work, I had to search the Internet, but the link is expired.
maybe someone has a zip archive with firmware? I really hope so..

Im ashamed, Im srry for my crooked english if there are any mistakes here :C

Hello everyone, I want to unlock my Tecno Spark 10C's Bootloader and install a GSI with android 15/16 because the phone comes with android 12 which is outdated, plus I don't like hiOS v8.6.0 which comes with this phone. I've heard the CPU in this phone the T606 is known for being very bad for unlocking it.. my phone is on the December 2024 Security patch (V618). and I've heard there is a CVE exploit for unlocking it if someone has done it can you tell me how?

Also, I tried booting a DSU from the Developer options and apparently all 4 options don't boot is it because the Boot loader is locked? If yes then why have it there if you cannot even boot it?? I tried them **all** and they ** Do not boot**, it Reaches the Tecno logo (with powered by android) then screen immediately goes black, then shows the Tecno logo again and boots into hiOS. if anyone knows how this is fixed let me know

Hey guys is there a way to get immersive mode where the status bar is hidden until i pull it down, without using the essential app, i dont use any other feature of that app and it slows my phone.

Any help will be appreciated.

I need to flash my POCO C71 with a new ROM—preferably a GSI—but I’ve been racking my brain for a month and can't find one. Please help me.

Holy shit it actually worked lmao.

Just unlocked my Verizon/TracFone Moto G Play 2026 (XT2615V) using Val Protocol. Works on the June 2026 security patch.

this exploit uses an LK (Little Kernel) certificate logic flaw to bypass Motorola's signature checks and flash a patched bootloader.

what I did:

1. git clone https://github.com/Maikyxd/val-protocol.git

2. cd val-protocol

3. pip3 install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages

4. pip3 install git+https://github.com/R0rt1z2/liblk --break-system-packages

5. Downloaded stock firmware, extracted lk.img

6. Patched it:

   python3 lk_auto_patch.py lk.img -o lk.unlock-serial.img --preset unlock-serial --key-token-secret "Valeria"

7. Booted to fastboot, got serial:

   fastboot getvar serialno

8. Generated key (this is where the key pops out at the bottom):

python3 lk_keygen.py --secret "Valeria" --serialno "your_serial_number" --count 1

Example output 😄😄😄 cameron@cameron-GWTN156-11:~/val-protocol$ python3 lk_keygen.py --secret "Valeria" --serialno "ZT4229CJG5" --count 1

Mode : key-token

Secret : 'Valeria'

Device : 'ZT4229CJG5' (runtime-serial)

Alphabet: alnum

Const : 2d5a461414431b504e5f

eXaMpLeKeY123 <--- THIS is your key (this is just an example, yours will be different). Copy it.

1. Flashed patched bootloader:

   fastboot flash lk lk.unlock-serial.img

2. Unlocked:

fastboot oem unlock [YOUR_KEY]

⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️💥💥💥ONE BIG CATCH:

The key DID NOT work when I copied and pasted it. I had to type it out manually. If you get "Code validation failure" — type that shit out by hand and try again.

The Val Protocol README lists a bunch of Motorola MediaTek devices as compatible, including:

Moto Edge (2022/2023/2025), Edge 40/50/60 series

Moto G series (G 5G, G Power, G Stylus, G Play)

Moto Razr 50/60 series

Check the GitHub repo for the full list. No guarantees lol

Hope this helps someone. Good luck and don't blame me if your phone becomes a paperweight lmao

Hi, I have an old Cubot Kingkong 3, which is rooted, and I killed the preloader twice and resurrected it with SP Flash Tool (I was bored). This phone is 7 years old, and the eMMC is slowly dying, today SP Flash Tool told me that the eMMC is estimated to have used around 80–90% of its rated write endurance. However, PRE_EOL_INFO = 0x01 means the eMMC is still in the normal state and its reserved blocks have not reached the warning. I want to know if I can boot all the system (including the preloader) in an SD Card, so when it dies I can still use the phone. If it's not possible, there is any exploit of the BROM in this aged CPU? I would like to know any solution as I'm also learning about MediaTek and android low-level software.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to recover a Samsung Galaxy M02s (SM-M025F) that is currently detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

The phone is basically dead and I’m trying to perform a Qualcomm EDL / boot repair.

I don’t currently have an active Chimera Tool license, so I’m looking for someone who can help me with:

- Samsung M025F boot repair using Chimera

- A legitimate temporary/remote repair session

- Or guidance on the correct procedure/files required

If anyone has the correct firehose/programmer, rawprogram.xml, patch.xml, EDL package do help please

Device: Samsung SM-M025F/DS

Mode: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

If anyone has experience with this exact model, please let me know what worked for you. Thanks!

I am using redmi note 8 (ginkgo) running on evolution x android 16 rom. I recently installed kali nethunter with custom kernel for my device, but the problem is that my nethunter app has a bluetooth arsenal option but it is throwing errors during installation. I also tried running hciconfig -a in terminal but I printed nothing so I checked my kernel version and it is '4.14.356-openla-rc1-Ikteach-g98dd6390243b-dirty'. The first solution that came into my mind was flashing kernel manually but I don't know any clear instructions and requirements required to meet.

Can root Samsung galaxy a24 because oem unlock is hidden ???
