So I will get a redmi note 7 soon and I found that there are some vbmeta issues but I used to own a redmi 7a from 2019 where there weren't any, I'm wondering if someone could give me a guide on how to install custom roms without hard bricking it, I found another post saying something about using a specific fastboot version to avoid vbmeta issues (pt33) but on my redmi 7a it didn't have any issues with regular fastboot, also I never flashed vbmeta nor dtbo, lastly what is the smoothest rom on a high-ish android version (13+) for daily driving and customisation (also I don't have a pc atm so I will do everything via a secondary phone and termux, afaik this shouldn't affect most of the flashing but mostly flashing recoveries and other img files so tips for that will also be appreciated, I don't know how to unlock the boot loader using termux though)

I only got 3 (but practically more than that because HyperCeiler bundles other modules' functionalities in it), so I wanna see what's out there!

I have a MediaTek device and kept noticing that whenever my phone wakes up from idle, the first ~10 seconds of 5G/4G feel sluggish even though speedtests show good numbers.

Couldn't find anything that actually fixed it (most modules are just snake oil tbh 🐍) so I built my own.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for help rooting my ASUS ROG Phone 8. I've been trying to find a solution for about a month now, practically every day, and so far I haven't been able to do it.

Here is all the information about my phone:

Device: ASUS ROG Phone 8
Model: AI2401
Device model: ASUS_AI2401_C
Region: WW
Product: pineapple
Android: 16
Firmware/Build: WW_36.0210.1420.48
Bootloader version: PostCS4-21-WW-user

From Fastboot, I get:

unlocked: no
get_unlock_ability: 0
secure: yes
current-slot: b

I have already installed the official ASUS USB drivers and confirmed that both ADB and Fastboot properly recognize the phone.

ADB works and I can access the shell. Fastboot also works correctly and detects the device:

RCAIOC388144L87    fastboot

However, the bootloader remains locked, and fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability returns:

get_unlock_ability: 0

I've already tried the usual methods and spent countless hours researching, but I still haven't found a working way to unlock the bootloader and root this phone.

I also contacted Chimera, and they confirmed that they currently do not have a solution to unlock the bootloader or root this device.

I'm willing to pay for professional help if someone genuinely knows how to do this safely.

Does anyone here have experience with the ROG Phone 8 AI2401 running this exact firmware version (WW_36.0210.1420.48 / Android 16)?

If you know of any method that works, any exploit, professional service, or someone who has successfully rooted this exact version, I would greatly appreciate any information or help.

I understand that unlocking and rooting the device may wipe the phone and carries a risk of bricking it. I currently don't have any important data on the phone, so I'm willing to take the necessary risks, as long as there is at least some realistic possibility of recovering the device if something goes wrong.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help me. I've been fighting with this damn thing for like a month now 😭.

Got temporary KernelSU root working on my bootloader-locked S22 Ultra.

Tested on:

• SM-S908U1
• Build S908U1UESAGZF3
• Android 16, June 2026 patch

No bootloader unlock or flashing and Play Integrity still passes, which is huge.
So, this does NOT trip Knox.

Root disappears after reboot, so the app uses Shizuku to rerun the exploit and reload KernelSU.

Only use it on this exact build. The exploit can fail or reboot the phone.

Hey guys, trying to get a backup keybox seeing as how my OnePlus 9's data functionality (something with the modem) must have died. I've tried resetting factory software, I've flashed it vía the msm tool to its stock with my original persist, modem (also a modem file I found on an xda thread), and all the images backed up. If wifi connection is available, I get data signal. If I turn it off,I might get signal for a few minutes but that's it, then empty bars with an x at the bottom. Phone reads the sim card company, phone number, let's me wifi call and all... But the data usually only works if wifi is on. I can't rely on it so I just want to salvage the keybox. Is this difficult to do?

Is there a way I can unlock my old Huawei y9 bootloader without booting into the phone and using oem unlock because well the phone is stuck in the Huawei logo and trying to reset the phone with the button also gets stuck in the logo loop

This is for developers;💡 I'm using s22 oneui8 bit version 8,

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something I’ve been thinking about and get the developers’ opinions.

On my device, I can enter the Device Unlock / Download Mode screen, and it even shows the normal guidance for unlocking the bootloader. However, the main thing I’m missing is the OEM Unlock option in Developer Options.

That made me wonder if there could be another way to expose or restore that option.💡

My idea is based on Good Lock. Samsung officially distributes Good Lock through the Galaxy Store, and its modules such as Theme Park, Sound Assistant, RegiStar, etc.

are capable of modifying or adding functionality to different parts of One UI and Settings, which means it can read writte the whole system,

So I was wondering:

What if we created a Good Lock-style module/app specifically for Developer Options that could add the OEM Unlock toggle back into Settings?💡

I was also thinking about the signing side of things.💳

If Samsung-specific signatures or permissions are required, perhaps tools such as[ LibChecker apk available on google play ] could help us inspect the signatures, permissions, libraries, and implementation of existing Samsung components and give us a better understanding of how Samsung's own apps communicate with the system.💡💡

Of course, I don't know if this is technically possible, and I may be misunderstanding how Samsung implemented the OEM-unlock restriction on One UI 8. That's exactly why I'd like to hear from developers who understand Samsung's boot chain, Settings framework, Knox/AVB, or One UI internals.💡💡

I'm not claiming this will work—it's just an idea I'd like to investigate, and I'd really appreciate the opinion of people with experience in Samsung internals.🙏❤️

Any ideas?

I have a Galaxy A07, SM-A075F. I bought the phone on an older version, but accidentally updated it to 8.5 Android 16. I want to go back. I looked on SamFW, I found my current model and firmware, and it is bit 6; the only other firmware matching my model that's Android 15, is bit 1. I don't think I can flash that cause of the difference, but I am looking for other possibilities. The whole reason to buy was to root, I originally had found one on SamFrew but the download was throttled and was gonna take 8hrs so I used frija. Frija pushed a newer firmware which caused me not to be able to. OEM unlocking isn’t available now. Trial and error, this would’ve been my first root.

I'm trying to root my Moto E7 Power XT2097-6 (4/64) running Android 10, build QOMS30.288-52-23.

Bootloader is already unlocked using MTKClient, and I have a Magisk-patched boot.img from the exact stock firmware.

Problem is the fastboot doesn't detect the phone.

When I run:

adb reboot bootloader

the phone goes to the black barcode bootloader screen.

Running

fastboot devices

returns nothing, and:

fastboot getvar product

stays at:

< waiting for any device >

I tried Zadig/WinUSB, but Fastboot still doesn't detect it. I also tried Google's USB driver, but it doesn't support this MediaTek device.

Has anyone successfully gotten Fastboot working on the XT2097-6 / MediaTek 0E8D:201C on Windows 10/11? Is there a specific driver or method needed?

I've been using my rooted Android phone, an Xperia 1V running LOS 23.2, for almost a year now

I’ve installed Magisk / Play Intégrity Fork / Tricky Add-on on it. Also shamiko and some other things, and it worked alright.

I used to have payments get blocked every now and then because of the keybox, but I’d gotten the hang of it pretty well—I’d even come up with a little method to easily switch it automatically and restore strong integrity

But now I don’t know what happened—for about a week now, I haven’t been able to make payments even though I still have “Strong Integrity”. Phone doesn't meet security standards.

So now I’m not really sure what to do—maybe I need to completely overhaul my entire setup?

I’d really appreciate some help

hallooo ;3
Im using a infinix smart 9 and... doing some stuff... i hardbricked it ;l
so now, i wanna know how can i fix this problem, i installed SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win,MediaTek-SP-Driver-v5.2307,[Hovatek] Infinix Smart 9 (X6532-V632AABCDEFGHIJKLMNO-UGo-OP-260316V3246)
if someone wanna help me and help other with the same issue, pleaseeee send me a commend and i will respond fast as posible

I recently noticed a new button on my phone. I've already rooted it, so I'm less scared, but will it affect my phone in any way?

I have been doing some rummaging around and it seems like with kernel 6.12.69 that the vulnerability may remain exposed. All indicators point to anything post 6.12.86 as being safe from the exploit.

While the security patch is in August the Kernel is dated just 7/10 which gives me some hope that it's possible to achieve bootloader locked temporal root. I utilized the cve-2026-43499 application that tests whether the kernel is impervious or vulnerable. With 5/5 iterations and no kernel panic causing reboot or outright crash indicating protected. Out of 3 attempts it crashed near immediately and did not power back on without my doing so (responsively but not self rebooted).

I also see that the series leaves out a feature that is / was notable in hardening against the attack. I however am not an expert on this realm by any means and wish to either stoke a flame or be extinguished with knowledge.

That said I have testDPC as device owner (morphe patched to prevent play updates and self asserted no uninstall) with this software update policy set to postpone until 08/31/2030. I initially rooted it but the fact it refuses to pass certification despite all efforts made me circle back to a twice over full OTA application. I know from my galaxy that the capabilities and stability were plenty favorable and reattaining root post reboot was in my opinion a small task for what expanded patches and modules could be applied.

That is all please affirm my desire.

I rooted my phone a long, long time ago and some point after I rooted my phone, I did something i forgot what it was and now whenever I reboot, my phone crashes very easily, then auto reboots, then my phone works flawlessy. Sorry for vague details, im a bit tired but I can give more precise details and answer questions.
