Help with SM-G935V

Im trying to root my s7 edge, but I keep getting "Secure check fail : recovery". On the download screen I also see "Qualcomm secureboot enable" which I read is impossible to bypass but I figured I should ask here. I am trying to flash TWRP.

Batch restore APKs from Play Store (or even F-Droid?)

I use Swift Backup for the data of my apps.

I want to save some space and not backup the APKs for apps that I don't use very often. If I need to restore, I don't mind waiting while these lesser used APKs come from across the network from an app store.

I asked in the Telegram support for Swift Backup and they don't support this.

Is there a way to bulk restore APKs from an app store with Neo, TiBk, or ...?

Is possible to root Cubot x70?

I'm desperately looking for a guide on how I can get Root permissions on the Cubot x70. Apparently there is no mention of it on xda and on no other generically famous site that deals with the root of android. I'd need to figure out if it's possible and how to mod and get root permissions on this phone...

Is it possible to root my phone?

I've spent a lot of time downloading orangefox recovery, making a magisk image and downloading the driver only to realize that I can't unlock my bootloader until my phone has been with TracFone for a year. Not only do I have to wait for that but TracFone is using Verizon towers, which I heard is notorious for blocking root access. Would me being on Verizon towers affect anything if my carrier allows boot unlock?

My interesting dilemma with my new Doogee S41 Max

As the title said, I've just got hands on a Doogee S41 Max. My previous phone, a Doogee S51, I was able to pretty easily root via Magisk standard process. At first, my obstacle was that I could not seem to find a copy of the firmware for the S41 Max anywhere...

So I asked Doogee support nicely for one. And they were kind enough to send me share links to both the S41 Max rom, plus the Unisoc flashing tool's most recent iteration. I tried extracting the firmware package, and was able to pull the boot.img file. The trouble is, after patching with Magisk app on the device, and then re-packing the ROM, the phone refuses to boot.

OEM unlocking is available, and is toggled on on developer options. However, none of the usual fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader are being accepted. It seems the Unisoc flashing utility is an integral part of the flashing process, because I am able to flash stock ROM as it was sent to me before messing with it with zero problems.

So I'm just looking for insight/a fresh perspective on angles of attack for getting this thing Magisk'd up...

Anyone...?

Can the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Be Rooted, and How Do Regional and Processor Variations Affect This?

Hello,

I’m considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and am interested in rooting it. However, I’ve come across information suggesting that the American model may not be rootable. Could you confirm if this is the case? Additionally, I’d like to understand the distinctions between the various regional versions. Specifically, are the European models different in terms of rootability? Also, how do the processor versions affect the rooting procedure?

Customization Support

Hiya, I'm very new to the rooting and custom ROM scene so I am hoping id be able to be given proper information here

I have a Nokia 3.4 running Android 12 and I got curious if it would be possible to customize it in such a way where I could:

  • remove the usual pre-installed bloat the OS provides out of the box

  • have something like a developer environment with the phone; I want to use the phone to be as productive as possible and I work with code a lot so I figured if it was possible to do some work on it it'd go a long way

Any tips or direction-pointing is greatly appreciated ^^

Should i root my phone?

Hello guys! Total noob here, only ever have cracked consoles before. Basically I'm a total freak for customization and cool stuff, and my challenge right now is to change the charging animation of my phone. I own a Z Flip 4, i have absolutely no idea if i should root my phone for that or not, so should i? I've read multiple posts on here that say that it is just plain stupid to root your phone in 2024. (I've checked charging animation apps on playstore, they suck ass. i want to put my own videos on the charging animation without having to pay 20 eur a week which is bloody crazy.)

Why my phone can't handle more than 3 apps at the same time???

Hey guys! I have a Redmi 9. Its stock rom was Miui with android 11 I believe. It used to be very slow. I also had a new phone but it broke. So I took this phone and tried installing a custom ROM on it. I've tried some custom ROMs, miui based like hyperos were very slow, ones like pixel experience had some huge bugs. I've managed to install crDroid on it. With Android 14. Overall, it's pretty fast and works well enough. However!

It's kinda shallow. You can literally only open 2 apps on it! Like whenever I open YT Music, Google Maps and a third app like Subway Surfers, one of them closes in the background! But why three? Sometimes, two apps is enough for everything to close down! Can anyone know what to do with it? I don't know where this problem comes from.

Maybe it's because of the custom ROM? But it happens on all the different custom ROMs I've tried. Including the miui based one. Maybe it's because I've accidentally installed a custom kernel? But normally, afterwards, I've also reinstalled my stock rom so shouldn't the kernel be started from zero?

I remember it wasn't a problem on my stock ROM. It did have other issues though. Like being very slow.

I don't have a lot of ram on this phone. That's true. Only 3 GB. But again, this wasn't an issue on my stock rom. I thought that since I have a custom ROM, it wouldn't be such an issue.

Maybe it's because I have Android 14? Do new Android versions really take significantly much more RAM space than old ones? Should I try installing an Android 10 or older so my phone will be faster?

Rooting an Alcatel One Touch 2012G

I have this old phone that my grandma bought way back and I will soon not be able to use my normal phone, so I wanted to spice this phone up for me. Could I root this or is it a lost cause?

Redmi note 9 pro locked with mi account

I bought this phone used a while back and turned out it was locked, so I was essentially scammed. Anyways, I got the phone working by bypassing the lock, problem is that I don't remember how I did it. I remember needing to install windows on my computer, so that I could use all the apps I was trying. Nowadays I have virtual machine for that. Where would you start unlocking this phone? I have tried couple of things, but the information is scattered around the internet and the files too. My bootloader isn't open.

I was thinking of rooting my phone and for some reason I updated it before and it got locked again. Now I'm worrying that this won't be so "easy" as last time, because of the update. This is my only phone currently, so I really need help here. I'm mentally checked out now from trying to fix this phone, but tomorrow is a new day.

And sorry if this doesn't belong to this subreddit, I wasn't really sure where to put this.

Trying to find a custom recovery for the TCL Tab 10L Gen 2.

I recently got my hands on a TCL Tab 10L Gen 2 with the intention of unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery like TWRP in order to install custom ROMs. However, I found out that there are no custom recoveries available for my device. Is there any other way to get custom ROMs running on my device or is there an unofficial build of TWRP that I wasn't aware of?

Basic question

Hi all, sorry for my ignorance but I am VERY new to rooting, although I am fairly technical (full stack engineer). I have an att-branded lg g8 thinq and for whatever reason it will not update past android 10. I was just wondering if, by rooting it and installing a custom rom, I can get it to android 12? I need android 12 to use the microsoft teams app.

Thanks

I need help with Huawei BLA-L09 ROOT

I know this is not a fast device or anything similar whatsoever but I really want to root this device. Luckily when I get into the Developers Options I can see that OEM Unlock is active so I should be able to root it right? What steps should I follow? I really don't know where to start rooting a Huawei phone. I've done a couple of Samsung in the past but never a Huawei. Is a Huawei Mate 10 Pro running EMUI 12.0.0
