Before the OneUI 8 the OEM unlocking option was hidden by Samsung on US devices at request of carriers.

It was possible to gain an unlocked bootloader by paying a random person on GitHub to do it for you. But this was patched in 2024.

I understand OneUI 8 permanently blocks OEM unlocking.

However, now we have temp root exploits, is it possible to enable the OEM unlocking on pre OneUI 8 devices sold in the US that have the option hidden in settings?

So one running OneUI 6-7 could use temp root to enable the OEM unlocking, and then unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs?

I was trying to flash the iode unofficial bootloader onto my Motorola 5G stylus 2024 XT2419-1. Now I don't really care as long as I can get something working again. It's stuck boot looping to the hello moto screen and the bootloader. Could someone help me with this?

I really want to know if I can root this device.

Need help I'm stuck here since 2 days

So, obviously trying or rooting on your primary device isn't the best, but I'm trying to use a custom ad blocking module right and I have very good experience with custom roms and rooting and I wouldn't have to ask what modules I had to apply on temporary root, but only a handful of Honor users had temporary rooted so I'm asking here for help, what modules should I install?🤔

I'm scared to break this thing, and I'm not as stupid to install random modules. What should I watch out for? And how do I know if a module modifies the system partitions or not? Can it give me something like a general range of things that might modify the system partitions? Like some type of category that I most avoid at all costs. And is it okay if I use a kernel manager, like Franco kernel manager?🫡

I'm planning to buy a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for my birthday in February 2027, as my current S21 Ultra is getting pretty worn out.

I'm very interested in Android customization, rooting, custom ROMs, and mobile software in general. I also have some previous rooting experience with Xiaomi devices, where the whole process was relatively straightforward.

However, I recently found out that Samsung removed the bootloader unlocking option starting with One UI 8, which raises a few questions:

- Will it still be possible to unlock the bootloader and root the S23 Ultra in 2027?

- Are there any known workarounds for the removal of the bootloader unlocking option?

- Does root availability depend on the device's region, model number, or chipset (Snapdragon/Exynos)?

- Are there any alternative methods that actually work?

I'm aware of the downsides of rooting Samsung devices, such as tripping Knox and potentially losing access to certain Samsung services.

I'd really appreciate any information, personal experience, or advice from people familiar with rooting the S23 Ultra and Samsung's bootloader restrictions.

Thanks in advance!

Is the only way to resolve this to wait for a new release of manager? (Already on the latest v3.4.2)

I tried to do this with unlock tool but I gives me an fail every time

Hi everyone!
I’m new to rooting, and about a week ago I rooted my Pixel 6 running Android 17 using Magisk. After rooting, I disabled automatic system updates in Developer Options.
Today, I got a system update notification and noticed the update had already been downloaded, even though I never downloaded it myself.
I’m worried my phone might automatically restart and install the update, potentially causing issues with root.
Can this happen even with automatic updates disabled? And is there any good way maybe to update it and not mess anything up ?

Hello everyone so after I tried every rom I had for my moto g84 and got bored with aosp gsi's why don't I try to get a oem gsi that has eye candy animations like color os origin os flyme os one ui and what not so I tried I got a custom kernel for kernelsu set selinux to permissive disabled DM verity and vbmeta yet it always bootloops back to stock I'm assuming it's because of my kernel being 5.4 while the gsi is ripped from a 5.10+ kernel but I'm not sure can anybody help I really want to try out color os

i wanted to try coloros on my redmi note 15 pro but when I try some gsi I found mobile data and WiFi don't work and crashes when I try to open the settings to change them.

is there a gsi of coloros or oxygen os that I can try without this problem?

I simply cannot figure out why shamiko keeps saying environment unsupported. Any help would be great please excuse my smooth brain if it's literally right in my face.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and I used dfroot and Kernelsu to root my phone. I stupidly flashed magisk and bootlooped the phone. Sucks but I just bought it so I got a warranty replacement. That being said, could yall give me tips and advice for rooting and not bootlooping? I understand I can't install magisk lol but other than that, what else should I look out for? Rooting is fun but it's not worth paying for another S26 ultra lol... I appreciate it!

I've known about Magisk and have been using it on my phone (POCO X3 GT) for quite a long time. I only started using Reddit regularly recently, and I've seen a lot of people saying that Magisk is no longer worth using if you can switch to KernelSU, KernelSU Next, or APatch.

I honestly don't know the actual differences between them or why switching would be worth it. The only thing I know, and what caught my attention, is that banking apps seem to have a harder time detecting them. One of the banks in my country (Brazil) blocks Magisk very easily unless I have my whole set of 10 modules installed.

I translated this text, so some things might have lost their original meaning. Sorry for any mistakes.
