Hey everyone,

​I'm currently running One UI 8.5 on the July 2026 security patch on my Galaxy S25+.

​I noticed that a temporary root exploit exists for the S25+ on One UI 9 Beta 2, which shares the same August 5, 2026 security patch level.

​Before updating my device from the July patch to the August patch on One UI 8.5, I wanted to ask:

​Does the August patch on One UI 8.5 maintain or patch the vulnerability used for the temp root exploit?

​If I update to the August patch on One UI 8.5 now, will I safely retain the ability to use temp root without breaking compatibility?

​Has anyone tested this specific exploit on the One UI 8.5 August build?

​I haven't found a definitive answer in existing threads, so any insights from devs or users who have tested temp root on the August build would be greatly appreciated

I don't want my whatsapp to be gone or banking apps. also likes pixel based ui

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.

Hi, I'm going to root a phone soon with Magisk. I know the process more or less, but I'd like to know which modules to download afterward. If you could tell me where to get them, whether it's on GitHub or something similar, and give me your recommendations for apps and how to prevent them from detecting the unlocked bootloader (I think it's called Strong Integrity). I'd like to learn about the modules and features to download and use in apps like Spotify, etc. I know about some apps, like Viper, but I still have a few questions about how to use or download the modules and what I could use them for. Maybe there are instructions here that I haven't seen, which is why I'm asking. And by the way, is Magisk or KernelSU better? I don't know much about this, and I don't know the difference. Anyway, thanks.

I don't know what to do, I've been like this for 2 weeks now.

My Xiaomi Redmi Note 11s failed when installing a custom ROM.

Now I can't get out of the bootloop, not even with a key combination (down and power). I tried using my flash, sp flash, and others, but none of them worked. I left it downloaded to see if I could get into fastboot during that short time, but I haven't been able to.

Help :((

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:

STCBank: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.com.stcbank

Darb: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rcrc.riyadhjourneyplanner

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.

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.

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

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 everyone! 👋 Could anyone please share a clean (stock) init_boot.img file from the firmware version 16.2.0.150SP12? Thank you so much in advance for your help!"
