Support Will rooted users be affected?
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?

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.

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'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

I was rooting my pixel 10a and it’s now stuck on fastboot mode. I used the right android version “stallion” for pixel 10a. I can’t seem to reset the phone anymore and the device state is unlocked. How do I reset my boot image so it can boot?

Hey everyone. A week or two ago I discovered an LSPosed module called Nothing Tweaks and honestly it’s amazing. Since it’s a new project it doesn’t have that many features yet but even the features the developer has added so far are enough to convince me to use this app.
Some of these features include adding buttons to the power menu to boot into bootloader and recovery mode, allowing you to move the volume bar more freely, adding the Nothing Ear-only headphone icon to all headphones, changing the key order of the keyboard on the lock screen, and some other small but nice changes. And besides these features there are also other features that I don’t personally use but I think are useful.
The developer is also doing their best to listen to users and add the requested features.
So long story short I recommend this app.

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.

I've been having trouble rooting my Samsung A56 5G. Samsung completely removed the OEM unlocking option in One UI 8. Is there any way to force OEM unlocking?
r/androidroot • u/RealmeC33Help • 6h ago
Hey everyone! I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Realme C33 (RMX3624) with a Unisoc Tiger T612 (UMS9230) processor to flash a GSI ROM (Pixel Experience).My "OEM Unlocking" toggle in Developer Options is currently greyed out and cannot be enabled. Because of this, I'm trying to use the unofficial spd_dump script via PC to bypass the protection and force-unlock the device.The issue: The script detects the phone in BootROM mode, but immediately fails with a CHECK_BAUD bootrom and usb_send failed (0 / 1) error (as shown in the attached picture).I have already tried:Installing the latest official UNISOC drivers (v2.0.0.134 / Latest SPD Driver).Switching between multiple USB 2.0 ports and using different high-quality cables.Testing different key combinations (Vol Down, Vol Up, both Vol keys, and Vol Down + Power).It seems like a recent Realme security OTA patch completely blocked the exploit or forced a baud rate change that crashes spd_dump.Is there any known fix, updated script, or alternative method to force this device into a usable BootROM state with new OTA updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit: I have now bricked the phone after i forgot to enable OEM unlocking lol, im now also taking off the backglass.
Not sure if this is the right place, but i need help rooting my Galaxy S10+
I used frija with the samsung usb drivers, it detected my device and downloaded the packages, i then patched the "AP" file with Magisk (newest version), i have OEM unlocking enabled, im using Odin3 v3.14.4 and im just trying to make sure this is all correct before flashing anything as i would rather not hard brick a phone.
(its not my main, just a spare and bottom half of the screen doesnt work).
The only other time i have rooted something was an ENG build kitkat developer tablet via magisk.
PS: do i have to run adb oem unlock or whatever command after OEM unlock is enabled? Thanks

This was my first experience flashing a ROM, and I did it on a phone (General Mobile GM20 Pro) for which there is almost no information available online. I prepared this guide for beginners who want to flash a ROM on devices with limited documentation, designed specifically to be used alongside an AI assistant. The purpose of this guide isn't to explain every single command line, but rather to highlight the critical decision points and bottlenecks that are often missing online. This document was written so you won't have to waste time searching for the answers that held me back. While it is not a comprehensive technical manual, it serves as a solid starting map for your first ROM attempt.
Before touching the phone, you need to set up a clean workspace on your computer. Create a new main folder on your C: or D: drive, but avoid placing it on your Desktop if you use Windows, because of OneDrive sync can interfere with the process. Inside this main folder, create two subfolders: one for your ROM files (both custom and stock) and one for ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Download the official Android SDK Platform-Tools and extract the contents into your ADB folder. Once extracted, open the ADB folder, right-click in an empty space, and select "Open in Terminal" or Command Prompt. You will use this terminal window to communicate with your phone throughout the entire process. For lesser-known brands like General Mobile or Vestel that lack dedicated custom ROMs, you will need to use a GSI (Generic System Image). To prepare your phone, go to its settings, enable Developer Options, and turn on both USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking. Next, connect your phone to the computer via a USB cable. If your computer does not recognize the phone, you will need to update or download the USB drivers. Open Device Manager on your PC, right-click the phone entry (which usually has a yellow exclamation mark), and select "Update Driver." Choose to browse your computer for drivers, pick from the list of available drivers on your computer, and select the official driver you downloaded. When prompted on your phone, check "Always allow from this computer" and confirm so you won't have to repeat this step.
From this point forward, you should proceed with the help of an AI assistant to verify commands and ensure safety. First, ask your AI assistant how to use ADB commands to determine your specific device architecture. You must find out whether your partition style is A-only or A/B, if it has Dynamic Partitions, and if it supports Project Treble, as these details dictate exactly which GSI version you must download. Once you know your specs, download both your target Custom ROM and the Stock ROM, which you should keep on hand in case you need to recover the device. Also, check your phone's system storage capacity; if space is tight, you may need a "Vanilla" ROM that excludes Google Apps rather than a version that includes them. While you are gathering files, locate the vbmeta.img file inside your downloaded Stock ROM, copy it, and paste it directly into your computer's ADB folder. Before moving on to the final steps, back up all your important data, as the next phase will completely wipe your phone. You will now need to unlock the bootloader. Because unlocking methods can vary slightly by manufacturer, ask your AI assistant for the exact commands for your specific device. Unlocking will trigger a factory reset, and when the phone reboots, it is entirely normal for it to take a while and display an "Orange State" or "Red State" warning screen. With the bootloader unlocked, the vbmeta file ready in your folder, and your device specifications confirmed, you are finally ready to install the ROM. Work step-by-step with your AI assistant to execute the final flashing commands safely and ensure everything goes smoothly.

I don't know if it's related, but it used to work even when it showed that error.

Hello!
I've unearthed an ancient Samsung Galaxy Pocket 2 SM-G110H running Android 4.4.2 that I'm trying to root.
I have access to the last official stock ROM files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) but no alternative recovery like ClockWorkMod nor of course TWRP.
To the best of my knowledge, this ancient device doesn't require the bootloader to be explicitly unlocked, right?
I've managed to install Magisk 22.1 and patch the boot.img from the AP file, then flash it back into the AP slot using Odin, but I still get "Installed: unavailable" in the Magisk app.
If I then try a direct install, I get ! unable to check signature and ! Installation failed.
If I install the last Magisk Manager 8.0.7, I can see Magisk being installed (22.1 AKA 22100), but I'm never prompted for root authorization when an app requests root access (e.g. Root Verifier, adb shell then su, etc.).
What else can I try?
EDIT:
Actually, with the Magisk 22.1 app (not the previous Magisk Manager 8.0.7), I get the root authorization window when an app asks for root… but if I grant root access, it has no effect, and the window appears continuously.

Hey guys good day, is it possible for someone to teach me in how to use gcash or banking apps with kernelsu rooted in my phone? It showed this message before because I had the manager installed, now that my device is rooted i tried tickystore and play integrity fork and it instead marked a red x in everything during the api integrity checker, before only the device integrity worked, how do I use gcash with kernelsu?

A week or two ago, I had to factory reset my phone, so I did. But for some reason, after the reset, I couldn't log into my Reddit account through the app anymore.
I spent an entire day trying to figure out why I couldn't log in. Just when I was about to give up, I randomly came across a GitHub issue where someone mentioned that Reddit checks Play Integrity.
Then it suddenly clicked: my phone is rooted, so obviously I'm not passing Play Integrity.
I installed a module like YuriKey, and after that I was finally able to log into Reddit again.
