I'm worried about bricking my device.

I've already gotten the courage to install a custom recovery. It was sucessfull. But now, i backed up the boot.img and patched it.

The only thing remaining to do is flash it. But what if it fails and i brick my device? Is it possible to un brick it? If so, how? Is it easy? It is a redmi 6 cereus.

A lot of unofficial and potentially unsafe sites claiming to be the official Magisk websites are flooding the search engine, stay safe

Cant create APN

Hello, i bought a lenovo tablet in my country and after putting in a sim card from other country it doesnt create APN. Initially i thought its a bug or something and just rolled with it. I rooted it, still same. After putting native sim apn appeared.

Is there anything to unlock it. I bought it from store not from a cellular network provider. I thought flashing original ROM and rooting device would help.

Help please

[Need Help]

So I have a Samsung AO5 with an unlocked bootloader, I want to try rooting it. Is it possible to root just by installing the magisk zip in recovery mode without a custom OS and flashing the boot image? or do I need to do it the hard way with a PC?

Explain in steps if you must.

Black screen after flashing abl on Google Pixel 8a

Hello!

Just wanted to post here about my mistake and see if anybody here knows what to do. I was messing around trying to modify the boot logo on my Google Pixel 8a and I managed to extract the original boot splash from abl.img. For those curious, the various logos in the bootloader are lz4 compressed, so if you decompress them, you get a regular BMP, which you can modify with any paint program. So, I modified the logo, compressed it back into lz4 format and using more hex editor wizardry I replaced some original bytes, which were used for the boot logos with the custom logos creating a (hopefully) flashable abl_hack.img image file.

Next, I tried to flash it onto my device (fastboot flash abl abl.img), but it failed, because it "couldn't pass validation". It did pass the validation with the original image tough. So, what I did next was copy the (modified) image directly to the device with adb push, ran adb shell in superuser mode and executed this command: dd if=/sdcard/abl_hack.img of=/dev/block/by-name/abl. It seemed to work, so I exited the shell and ran a reboot command to see if the custom logo was applied.

However, after doing that, the device has just been displaying a blank screen indefinitely and I cannot get the device to wake up/power on again. I tried holding down various combinations of power and volume buttons and also connecting the device to a computer with USB while holding those buttons, but nothing happened, just a blank screen. In addition I tried looking at both Device Manager in Windows and dmesg -w in Linux, both don't show any device getting connected or disconnected when I try connecting my phone to the computer.

I tried searching on Google for methods of booting the device into EDL or some other type of recovery mode, but no luck. I still have the option of sending the device to Google for repairs if it turns out to be hard-bricked, but I just wanted to know if you have suggestions for what I should try to maybe resurrect the device myself, because I don't really want to go through that process if I don't have to.

[Help Needed] My rooted Samsung Galaxy A41 is suddenly failing SafetyNet

Hello everyone, I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy A41 that i use for work. I rooted it with magisk, installed modules are lsposed, universal safetynet fix and smali patcher.

Everything was working fine when suddenly my apps stopped working cause root was detected. I run YASNAC and as results i get both basic integrity and cts profile match as fail. If i open magisk and go to modules section it says that lsposed and universal safetynet are not working cause zygisk is disabled (even if it is enabled in magisk settings). Root Cheker Basic says the device has still root access.

What happened? Is it possible to fix it? Thank you in advance.

[Help Needed]: Accessing Samsung M51 with Broken Display, USB Debugging Off and OTG Enabled

https://preview.redd.it/uxfcc5bs0t3e1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d19621a8fd65ca1ceb0c64c9e3fbb58ae8373696

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy M51 with the following issues:

The display is completely broken (no touch or visibility).

  • The phone still works—I know this because I can connect it to my PC and access its internal storage via USB-C.
  • USB Debugging is OFF, so I can’t use ADB.
  • OTG is enabled because I connected a keyboard, and the phone responded to keystrokes.

What I’ve tried so far:

  1. Connecting a keyboard via OTG – worked, but I can't navigate effectively without a display.
  2. Attempted ADB commands, but debugging is off, so it didn’t work.

Additional Information:
I can take screenshots (using the keyboard) and view them in the internal storage when I connect the phone to the PC. However, to navigate effectively, I need to use the keyboard.

The problem is, my phone has only one USB-C port. I want to know:

  1. Is there an adapter or hub that extends the USB-C port so I can connect both a keyboard and my PC simultaneously?
  2. If such an adapter exists, will it allow both the keyboard and the PC connection to work at the same time?

End Goal:
Ultimately, I want to root the phone and repurpose it as a Linux device. Any suggestions or guidance on rooting methods that might work in this scenario are highly appreciated!

What I’m looking for:

  • Any USB or OTG-based methods to access the device fully or enable USB Debugging.
  • Suggestions for rooting or installing an app remotely (e.g., using Bluetooth).
  • Alternative ideas to recover data or regain control of the device.

Device Info:

  • Model: Samsung Galaxy M51
  • Android Version: (i don't know)
  • Rooted/Unrooted: Unrooted

Thank you in advance for your help!

Can't find twrp.img for nubia neo 5g

I could maybe download the one for nubia neo 2 but I'm pretty sure they don't use the same OS.

If I root my phone, will it delete family link?

Hello, I was wondering that, since rooting your phone wipes all your data, would it send a message to family link?

How do I flash or use BIN file from Open Gapps project ?

I downloaded Open Gapps from ("their website")[https://opengapps.org/], specifically Arm 64, version 9, full.

I use Orange Fox recovery on my tablet.

Orange Fox gives me 3 options when tapping the BIN file,

1.) Open as text file

2.) Open as flashable ZIP

3.) Open as flashable Image

What do I do ?

Should I use another Gapps suite ?

Can I get official Google Apps on Ressurection Remix ? I am fine with Google's spying, I will make changes to the settings.

Edit:- I tried fixing my markdown for the website link.

HARD BRICKED?

So I decided to flash a custom ROM for my old kindle fire hd 7 generation 2 using a custom recovery TWRP. Everything worked great then I decided to root the device but installed/flashed the wrong Supersu file and now my device only flashes the “kindle fire” logo on boot and repeats constantly. No way to boot recovery as the volume button up + power button won’t boot recovery no more, and the computer can’t detect the device anymore. So is this able to be fixed or is it as good as trash? Anyone knows that would be great
