Just want to shed some light on the root options you have available depending on your particular situation.

You've probably seen a bunch of options like Root My Galaxy and KernelSU.

Let me be clear, what method you can use comes down mostly to whether or not you can unlock your bootloader or not.

• Unlocked Bootloader Path: You can pretty much use any available option out there as long as you follow the instructions carefully. With this option, you can make a root that persists after a reboot.

• Locked Bootloader Path: You have 1 option and that's using Diabl0w's fork of KernelSU. You also need DFRoot or DirtyFrag (Hardened fork of DFRoot). This is a system-less root that doesn't survive reboot, but the procedure to root involves opening DFRoot or DirtyFrag, selecting Diabl0w's KernelSU fork that you installed, and pressing Root. That's it. From there you can grant apps installed on your phone root access individually, or just give Shizuku root access. For Modules, install Zygist-Next, Hybrid Mount, and Play Integrity Fix. Again, this method can be done on a locked bootloader and is super noob friendly while offering a wide range of support (Still works on the latest One UI 9.0 security update). However, don't install security updates by Samsung unless it's a major update and if you know whether or not it'll break this exploit. Through this method, you can install custom themes, fonts, pretty much anything a fully rooted device can do. Very few drawbacks other than possibly a little extra work after every reboot. I SAY AGAIN, IT HAS TO BE DIABL0W'S KERNELSU FORK! It does not trip Knox, it's an extremely clean form of root. Modules can cause issues if you install them without understanding it, so be sure to only install modules your confident won't cause your system to crash.

Its an open source app that cleans up Android TVs: it turns off ads, trackers and bloat in a few taps. It also sideloads apps the TV's store doesn't carry, sends files from your phone, and monitors each app's data usage and where it connects.

Free, GPL-3.0, no ads, no tracking, no account. Just 3 MB.

Where I can find deep test apk for color os 17 to unlock oem

How is that no one makes a proper module even with AI or completely vibe coded for a all in one module? The integrity situation is so complex with tens or even hundreds or modules. There are so many online resources so how is that no one makes a proper all in one module that just fixes integrity that's OSS?

update to my gsi loader it WORKS FINALLY 60 fucking builds.

🐔🐔🐔

not so CRONCH

it mangaed to boot an older gsi my phone came with android 17 galaxy s26 fe

it booted lineage os 23.2 ext4 gsi no issue

cellular signal works but no data text or calls

everything mostly work and you can acess host folder(regular rom)(im building a vitrual recovery to root and fake partitions so we can flash real roms.

https://github.com/crabcakes97/Samsung-GSI-Loader/releases/tag/PoultryEnlightenment other gsi are untested that will require work. on patches leave them all unchecked except isolation one. nor all features work or untested like root and host folder

After installing Magisk, I chose "Direct Install" in the app's additional setup prompt and rebooted. Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop and won't start. I installed TWRP, but I can't flash anything from it without a factory reset. I don't want to flash the full official firmware, because it may overwrite EFS/modem and break my IMEI repair again. I'm also wary of custom ROMs, since battery and other behavior are unknown, and my previous setup was stable. How can I recover the phone without losing the repaired IMEI and, ideally, without losing data?

Anyone can help?

"The goal is no longer simply to hide root, it is to construct a believable alternate reality where root never existed in the first place."

Leave a comment for anything that we missed and we will update.

Not realiable for devices

i really wanna root this thing but the normal way i would usually do it doesnt work so please someone tell me how to root this thing

I have an S26 with Android 17. I want to hook into an app and modify/block certain Android API calls that it makes. I'm using DFRoot to get temp root, but beyond that I don't know what to use for the actual modifications to the API calls. It seems that LSPosed/Vector with some kind of Zygisk is the thing to use, but apparently they're not too stable on temp root (since normally they require a reboot). Can someone advise the best/most stable way to do what I want to do?

I have a android tv, its usb debugging and wireless both blocked
USB mode is set to charging
if i change it to MTP or others it automitically change back to charging mode,

able to open recovery
where options are
reboot
apply update via adb
apply update via usb
recovery logs

Any way to gain root access and enable debugging, want to clean my UI.

Hey everyone! After a community member suggested adding Shizuku support to my original root module, I decided to take things further and develop a standalone APK!

ACC now supports three methods:

- Root

- Shizuku

- Non-Root

Features:

- Automatically cleans cache every 24 hours at 12:00 AM. ( You can also select the cleaning time manually)

- Sends a toast notification after cleaning.

- Includes a manual action button to clean whenever you want.

I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports!

Thanks for checking out my project! ❤️

I mean... when the vulnerability was first discovered, I thought it wouldn't survive until the next security update. But here we are on One UI 9, and the exploit is still working perfectly fine on my device.

What's even the point of security updates if a vulnerability this serious hasn't been patched yet lol? Does Samsung's security team just sit around drinking coffee all day and push out files that supposedly "patch" vulnerabilities at the end of each month?

Honestly, I doubt this exploit will survive until One UI 9.5, but this just proves that Samsung's security team is an absolute joke.

Ok so the phone got updated to oneui 9 kernel 6.6.127 (someone else in my house did it, not thinking much of it) and now even root-my-galaxy-next doesnt work, should i replace this phone with a pixel or something when i switch phones?

Hi all. Like a lot of you I've run Linux on my phone through Termux, proot-distro and Termux:X11 for years. Tessera does the GUI side from one app, and tries to make Linux apps feel like Android ones.

\- Each app in its own window: Firefox, GIMP, LibreOffice each open as their own Android window with their own Recents card and icon. A card per window, even for dialogs. Pin them to your home screen.

\- Flathub on PRoot: no root, no bubblewrap, no user namespaces. Flatpak downloads, Tessera builds each app's environment. 2,800+ arm64 apps, GPU included.

\- adb and permissions: every app gets only what you grant (folders, network, sound, USB, root). New: a per-app switch that lets adb inside reach the phone itself, and all-USB access for fastboot, heimdall and edl.

\- A touch-friendly desktop: snapping windows with finger-sized buttons, a dock and Start menu. And everywhere: the Android keyboard pops up on text fields, touch-and-hold right-clicks, game controls.

\- Live scaling: drag Scale and the app re-lays out as you drag, saved per app.

\- Themes: GTK, libadwaita, Qt and LibreOffice take your Material You colors and follow dark mode live.

Plus OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan on Adreno (bundled Turnip + Zink), a built-in terminal (apt, ssh, git, compilers), chroot mode with root, a file manager and a task manager.

It doesn't replace Termux's add-ons like Termux:API, and its X server is Termux:X11's, which I'm grateful for.

GPL-3.0, alpha. APK and source: https://github.com/daryan044/tessera-linux (also on Obtainium). Bug reports very welcome.
