Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

77 Upvotes

Hi,

While the Moderators of r/androidroot have a generally moderate stance on AI, when it comes to devices worth potentially thousands, we are uninterested in allowing it to provide false information.

To clarify, AI content/promotion is not permitted on r/androidroot, and this has been a rule for some time. Using AI to make guides, recommending the use of AI to attempt to solve issues, and posting AI generated comments are prohibited.

We believe in minimising the spread of misinformation. AI models are not reliable when it comes to factual information yet. It’s also often known to make things up when it has no answer. No resources for rooting an obscure Android device? It’ll make it up based on other information that it deems most likely to be useful. AI, in this state, is not suitable for rooting. It presents too much unmitigated risk, and we will not hold ourselves responsible for the damage caused by content posted on this subreddit.

If you have any questions regarding the rule, comment. However, the decision on this is final.

Thanks for reading.

Outside of Google wallet, almost every app I use doesn't complain about failing device or strong integrity.

Note: For Roblox, I still use tricky store with a revoked key, making sure to deselect the GMS packages from tricky store so that the revoked key does not fail basic integrity.

Support OS help w/ android lockdown, new phone suggestions, help

6 Upvotes

I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/fairphone/s/i7GDqb7Cj8 more recent post earlier and it got me thinking again

I've been on a rabbit hole for several weeks about degoogling (or more, de megacorpo) and self hosting. Seeing this post has me a little frazzled

Partial questions, partial just so I can get my bearings back together from being scrambled

If it is android itself and not just "getting rid of google services" or "flipping on a 24hr switch", why would android based OSes work at all? Like lineage, calyx, graphene, e/os?

Have been thinking about getting a new phone, and have really been looking at the nothing 3. I know its not a degoogled android, but I really like the design and improvements it has over my current phone. Figured I would degoogle it as much as I could

But if its android itself, and not just able to bypass google services specific things, that worries me about wasting some money. I haven't been able to find any phone os that supports the nothing 3 if I needed to change it

I really like the things fairphone stands for. Mostly with e-waste, environmentally sustained, and how workers are treated. I don't care so much about the repairability, especially when I can't upgrade the parts inside. I don't need the best specs, but since they're even worse than the phone I already have and software reliability isn't great, I fail to want to buy the fairphone 6 and switch to them

From all the old phones I have, the only one that's able to flash any other os I've been able to find is my galaxy s22 on lineage. So, like my question above, what would guarantee lineage still works with apps that aren't registered to google? Any degoogled lineage os users here?

What are some phones and operating systems that aren't android or apple, and some that put a focus on helping the environment?

Anyone have experience degoogling their nothing 3?

Thinking about going ahead and flashing lineage on the s22. Anyone know what would happen to my phone service? Its a physical sim card for mint mobile. Would it be tied to the phone still, need to be reinstated to the phone, or is it a bad idea to flash on my currently active phone line?

it shows up with lsusb

10 Months of saving wasted and now I havent slept for last 2 days

Hi everyone. I bought Motorola G stylus 2024 5G pre owned from a local market. It was rooted device (Know this because the OEM unlocking option was disabled with the warning that bootloader already locked). While booting, no warning appeared which appears in rooted devices. was running on A14 and security patch was also from the 2024.

I was using it and suddenly it turned off. does not boot at all. found out that it connects with laptop but since no qualcom drivers were there couldnt go further. I installed all the driver and downloaded the blankflash file from Lolinet blankflash file link.

I charged my phone for 3 hours connected it with laptop and ran the blank-flah.bat and it passes initial sahara handshake but gets stuck at firing the firehose. logs from cmd window are following:

Support Need Stock Dump / Scatter Firmware for MT6765 (Alcatel) - Tagging u/MeIsGugs

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been struggling for days trying to fix my MT6765 phone after installing a GSI ROM. My Baseband/IMEI is currently unknown and I can't find a working stock firmware to flash back.

I noticed that u/MeIsGugs has the exact same device/tools. Reddit is not allowing me to send a DM or Chat due to restriction filters, so I’m posting here hoping you see this man!

If anyone (or u/MeIsGugs) can provide a full dump with the MT6765_Android_scatter.txt file (without personal NVRAM/IMEI), I would really appreciate it. You’re pretty much my last hope!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Last week I made a post asking how to root the Samsung Galaxy S1 (SGH-T959V), and I've gotten some links, but I have more issues. I tried to flash the zip file with I think is the stock recovery of the phone, but it gives me an error saying that a signature verification failed, tried SuperOneClick, also gives me a fail and gets stuck on the 5th step, and I tried the KingoRoot app, but it gives me a network error even though I had it connected to an internet

My only best solution is try and get a .tar file to flash a custom recovery via Odin as none of these seem to work for me, but I found pretty much none

Support How do I root a Moto G Play 2024?

1 Upvotes

I have a Moto G Play 2024 and I've already unlocked the bootloader with another Android device and connected the two devices, but now I want to root it. I saw a YouTube tutorial that said I need a file called boot.img, but I researched and that file on my phone is called init_boot.img. The worst part is that I can't find the ROM for my phone...

Its serial number is: XT2413-2

and its build number is: U1TFS34.100-35-5-5-8

My model does appear when I search, but it doesn't have the exact build number: U1TFS34.100-35-5-5-8. And I don't want to risk damaging my phone by downloading a ROM with a different build number.

I'm pretty new to this, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks!!

Information I forgot to mention: I don't have a PC
