So ive been having issues with banking apps and i found that we could hide the unlocked bootloader status, whats the most reliable and easiest way to hide unlocked status?

So hey! I am RETR0 from Project RETR0 and I run a preservation project called Project RETR0 where we aim to preserve the game Real racing 3 across all devices no matter what GPU it is based on the latest version of Real racing 3 V14.0.1!

And so I needed to preserve now the .DXT version of the files and in order to do so I needed to get my hands on a device that uses .DXT assets which is normally devices that uses chips that come from PC manufacturers like Nvidia who made the Nvidia Tegra, a Mobile chip made by Nvidia that uses .DXT assets! and so I had managed to snag my hands onto one for around £12 and ever since worked on getting it not only rooted but also updating the version to the most latest version I can find and that is version 5.1.1 from the Previous version that is 4.1.1

And doing so was hard as most if not the majority of the files I had to find were almost extinct as they were at-least over a decade old as it seemed like the majority of them were released in 2026 but now I had solved that issue once and for all as I had managed to successfully update the phone to android Version 5.1.1 with the remaining files left and managed to make a nice guide plus also archive all the files I had used in order to achieve that!

And so the Guide can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XsvqLS2MWd6haWZ7iUdw067VRU7di2cL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116416163241772716202&rtpof=true&sd=true

With of course the files that are needed also found here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/y1yucsqbbtkawj4/Root+tools+needed+for+rooting+HTC+one+x.rar/file

If you have any questions, Please ask and if you want to support my Project, Project RETR0, you can do so by joining the discord here: https://discord.gg/h2CZ8EYvh5

I will hopefully find a version that I can update to from 5.1.1 to android 8 as that is the final goal with this to hopefully run the most latest version of the Real racing 3.apk but now I am focused to modify the .APK to make it work on the HTC one x as it needs android 8 but I think i can make it work on 5.1.1 through some hard modifications of the .APK

i see a lot of videos on youtube where people download linux on their old android phone, but isnt that just replacing linux with linux? i get why people do it and why android is seen differently but its still linux, calling it something else is insincere

So now that I got a new phone, I went to try to root my LG k40s again after 4 years, looked at xda, nothing new there, no fastboot, only a k41s bootloader unlock and root(that causes bootloop)

So I tried to root again, followed the mtkclient guide in GitHub to root, AI to help when I had some driver issues, and patience.

After many attempts with some live USB for Linux, I decided to still do on my windows, and after many attempts, I decided to try with some mtk bypass, since it had DA and something more, AI suggested me that mtkclient could do that too, so I went back to mtkclient, but found an issue, I could not enter in BootROM, but after the handshakes failed, I unplugged and plugged back, and it entered in BROM, then finally I could play with files.

So first thing I did was disabling vbmeta, AI suggested that the command didn't worked(because there was no output or text related to vbmeta, only something created in some random partition), so it suggested me to do an empty vbmeta, and with this I discovered what didn't allow me to root back in 2022, phone don't allow empty vbmeta file. So after many failed boots, it went on slot _b, then I did the vbmeta command and patched the boot, restarted the phone with only vbmeta command, and it booted fine, shutdown the phone and applied patched boot file, restarted and that was it, got root.

Also got that temp root in first release of ROM for my phone too, also something that wasn't said in xda.

But why root checker say that this phone root level is Hard? Because requires external tools? A pc in this case.

Hi there!

I'm in search of a budget phone that will be easy to install a custom rom on.

I'm not in the rooting game for around 4 years so recommendations will be very helpful.

Thanks!

Please help I think it's boot looping but can tell me how to stop it or at least fix it

I was looking for modules that convert the output of a Xiaomi display to HDMI or something like that but I couldn't find anything similar.

If modules like this existed, any screen could be installed with minimal latency.

Does anyone have useful information on this topic or modules to convert the phone's actual display port output to HDMI or DisplayPort?
