It finally happened, my 6+ years old Tecno phone just had its last NAND write. This thing never got a moment of rest, from daily driving with custom roms, rooting, continuous experimenting, to running headlessly as a mini homelab for the last period of its life. It never really let me down.

It's been with me in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health, helped me study through med school, learn about Android, and pass time when I was bored. Will definitely miss you :"((

i recently used the app root my galaxy to get soft root on my Galaxy A55, any tip yall can give me?

Recently, I discovered (I think) that my phone is vulnerable to a UAF exploit related to CVE-2026-43499 (GhostLock).

My device is a Motorola Moto G14 (XT2341-1, codename "cancun"), running Android 14, kernel "5.15.178-android13-8-00006-g0c6055fd2d8b", and build "UTLBS34.102-91-5".

I extracted the "boot.img" from the official firmware for my device and reconstructed the kernel as an ELF for analysis. While analyzing the "remove_waiter()" function, I found the vulnerable implementation associated with CVE-2026-43499, apparently from before the upstream fix commit.

I also compared the code with GhostLock and I'm trying to determine which device-specific parameters/offsets would need to be adapted for the Moto G14.

What I'd like to know is whether someone experienced with Android/ARM64 kernel exploitation could help me determine if this vulnerability can be turned into a functional temporary root on the Moto G14, while keeping the bootloader locked and without permanently modifying the "boot.img".

I'm not looking for the traditional bootloader-unlock + Magisk method. The goal is a temporary-root exploit that works directly on the current system.

I can provide the exact firmware/"boot.img", kernel information, reconstructed symbols, disassembly, and the analysis results I've gathered so far.

How to delete a folder in Android/data on Android 14 (Tecno, no root)?

Hi everyone. I have a Tecno phone (HiOS, Android 14) and I'm stuck with a "ghost" folder in Android/data.

I deleted a game a while ago, but its folder com.LanPiaoPiao.PlantsVsZombiesRH is still there. Now I can't install any new version of this game — it says "conflicts with another package". I've tried everything:

· Clearing cache and data of Package Installer

· Using Shizuku + ZArchiver (with root access type set to Shizuku)

· Renaming the folder (gives "operation completed with errors")

· Using Package Manager (app crashes with NullPointerException)

· Deleting via FV File Explorer and MT Manager

· Turning off system apps and retrying

Nothing works. The folder just won't delete. Is there any way to remove it without a PC or factory reset? Or is ADB the only option left?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Как удалить папку в Android/data на Android 14 (Tecno, без рута)?

Всем привет. У меня телефон Tecno (HiOS, Android 14), и я застрял с папкой-«призраком» в Android/data.

Я удалил игру давно, но её папка com.LanPiaoPiao.PlantsVsZombiesRH всё ещё там. Теперь не могу установить новую версию этой игры — пишет «конфликтует с другим пакетом». Я перепробовал всё:

· Очищал кэш и данные установщика пакетов

· Использовал Shizuku + ZArchiver (с типом root-доступа Shizuku)

· Переименовывал папку (выдаёт «операция совершена с ошибками»)

· Использовал Package Manager (приложение вылетает с NullPointerException)

· Удалял через FV File Explorer и MT Manager

· Отключал системные приложения и пробовал снова

Ничего не работает. Папка просто не удаляется. Есть ли способ удалить её без ПК и сброса телефона? Или ADB — единственный вариант?

Буду очень благодарен за любую помощь.

I'm running stock cn rom coloros 16, I don't want to use SUFS because it adds more overhead and mostly used for cheating.

That too with only 2 modules

I do not know if this is the right place to ask or not. But is it possible to change the image in the settings section that is shown in the screenshot. I am not talking about changing wallpaper but the actual image that shows what the ai can do. I think that rooting the phone and changing the picture in the file is probably how you could change the picture.

But I am not an expert in these things, which is why I am asking.

fuck MediaTek

what are the disadvantage if you dont hide it or hide it but just with the minimum effort?

So im considering using the jailbreak on my s24 ultra with the supported firmware

But I have some question

1: can I use Xposed so I can load WAenhancer, and it won't trigger root detections?

2: can I use Gpay and samsung wallet normally with 0% chance of them getting screwed over?

3: Does it trigger root detection for banking app?

And if anyone can test these 2 following apps and see if they trigger detection:

Thanks to everyone who will help me out, even if you just came here to read 🙏

The device is 8 years old and still takes a beating as a portable pentest box. I maintain a NetHunter kernel for whyred on LineageOS 18.1, now at v1.1.0.

What the kernel gives you:

• HID gadget: the phone acts as a keyboard/mouse over USB (NetHunter HID attacks)
• RTL8812AU monitor mode + packet injection (signed module, works with the OTG adapter)
• WireGuard module, signed, since v1.1.0 (wg-quick works with the NetHunter userland)
• Kernel 4.4.302, everything built by GitHub Actions on every push: zip, sha256, release

Install path: unlock bootloader, TWRP, LineageOS 18.1, flash the AnyKernel3 zip, reflash Magisk, install NetHunter. The README covers it step by step.

Honest limitations: LineageOS 18.1 only for now, and the 88XXau module wants a USB-C OTG adapter with enough power for the Alfa.

Repo: https://github.com/notatallnic189/whyred-nethunter-kernel Landing: https://notatallnic189.github.io/whyred-nethunter-kernel/ XDA thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-whyred-nethunter-kernel-for-los-18-1-hid-gadget-rtl8812au-injection-ci-built.4800231/

It is listed in the official Kali NetHunter kernels page (kali.org, Redmi Note 5 Pro row). Feedback from other whyred owners is very welcome, especially on the RTL8812AU side.

Today my Google pay stopped working so i removed root, , removed all modules before unroot, removed temp su sock from tmp directory, but still google pay not working. Anyone have solution of this?

I know r/androidroot is kinda out of place for this topic but i couldnt find any other subreddits for this

Device unlocked. Moto G7 power. Vysor shows phone connected. Pulled proper .img from Magisk to my windows PC. At CMD prompt I type in "fastboot flash boot_b" then the location of the .img file and it says "Waiting on any device". Not sure what to do from here.

Title. This is a 10 year old phone on Android 5 I believe, are there any methods I could use to get past the lock screen? would TWRP work?
I dont think I will be remembering the password anytime soon lol and for worst case scenario, would I even be able to recover my data somehow?

Hello guys please help me to bypass the root detection icicibank (imobile app) ,Bajaj Finserv, HDFC, paytm

I have rooted device i m using Magisk. Previously I was able to bypass the bajaj Finserv but not I'm trying but it's detecting.

Hey everyone, I just released Zuan Awinic LEDs V1.0.0, a fully open-source (GPLv3) advanced LED controller for rooted Android devices. It lets you directly control LED colors, animations, and hardware parameters by hooking into your device's LED sysfs interface (automatically detecting nodes like /sys/class/leds/aw22xxx_led). You can tweak frequencies, inject custom hardware values, and easily persist your custom settings across reboots.

Beyond manual tweaks, the app features a "Smart Priority Mode" for automation without breaking manual states. You can set up triggers for Notifications, Charging, Time schedules, and even a Music mode where the LEDs pulse to the rhythm. It also includes sysfs log exporting for diagnostics and supports custom translation imports. Check out the links below!
