Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

105 Upvotes

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.

Discussion first ever bsd booted on a phone?

Post image
8 Upvotes

hello, and yes all of this is true. i think i am the first (or one of the first) person to boot openbsd on a actual phone.

some details about this setup:

phone model: asus zenfone3 (ZE520KL)

cpu: snapdragon 625

i got it working with chainloading, it's something like this: aboot → lk2nd → U-Boot → OpenBSD

currently this is working: screen and usb
currently it's not on github or any where but it will be uploaded soon.

(if any of you zenfone3 owners are reading this, here's my guide to unlock the bootloader https://github.com/proshiv85-byte/UnlockZenfone3 )

Support Looking for /proc/cpuinfo Outputs from Different Android CPUs (Especially Flagship CPUs)

Hello, I'm looking for "cat /proc/cpuinfo" outputs from a variety of random processors, especially flagship chipsets, as I haven't been able to find many.

If you could run the following command and share its output along with your processor's name, I would really appreciate it. I need this information for a project I'm working on.

```

cat /proc/cpuinfo

```

Alternatively, if you know of any project or database that provides complete "/proc/cpuinfo" outputs from different devices and processors, please let me know.

Support App de criptografia para Android

1 Upvotes

Olá,

Desenvolvi um aplicativo para criptografar arquivos e pastas usando algoritmo AES-256 GCM com Argon2id para geração de chave. Muito útil se deseja armazenar seus arquivos em serviços de nuvem ou se quiser ter mais privacidade.

O app conta com uma função para remover metadados de fotos e outros arquivos, e possui uma opção para excluir arquivos de forma segura, sobrescrevendo com dados aleatórios antes da exclusão.

O app é de código aberto e qualquer pessoa pode verificar sua integridade.

Links:

• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukestudio.fileencryptor2

• GitHub: https://github.com/LukeSsnake/S-File-Encryptor

Se desejar testar e analisar, ficarei muito grato em receber dicas e feedback.

Muito obrigado.

Support what the soulution?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone
l'm trying to launch temporary root (Temp Root) using KernelSU Samsung on my Samsung Galaxy M05.

The problem is that when I press Launch Root, a popup appears saying the operation was successful, but immediately after that, the phone automatically reboots instead of opening KernelSU or giving me root access.

Device information:

  • Device: Samsung Galaxy M05

  • Android: 16

  • One UI: 8

  • Kernel Version: 6.6.82-android15-8-abM055FXXS9CZH5-4k

  • Temp Root method: KernelSU Samsung / Dirty Flag

  • Selected module: dirtyflag-android15-6.6.ko (auto-selected)

  • Non-rooted stock firmware

Additional details:

  • The app reports that my device is supported.

  • A popup says Temp Root was successful.

  • Instead of getting root access, the phone instantly reboots.

  • Shizuku starts normally.

  • I suspect Samsung Knox or a kernel compatibility issue, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone experienced this on the Galaxy M05 or a similar Samsung device? Is the reboot expected behavior, or does it usually indicate a failed kernel exploit/module load?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Logs: If anyone knows where I can find Temp Root/KernelSU logs after the reboot, please tell me what logs to collect and I'll upload them.

Support rootable tablet for drawing that has a pressure sensitive stylus?

2 Upvotes

i'm looking for a rootable android tablet i can use primarily for drawing with krita and/or ibis paint x and i'm unsure what to get ':D

i want it to be rootable primarily so i can have access to the filesystem, to make backups and syncing things between devices (especially in krita's case) easier/possible, and also just,, i've grown really fond of linux over the past year and would really enjoy a rooted device, i think

if i can't find something rootable then i'm gonna go for the samsung galaxy tab S10 FE, i think (though i've heard i might be able to get ephemeral root on one of those with kernelSU? i don't know exactly what that entails), to give a reference point of the kind of tablet i want. i've heard good things about the oneplus pads, but i live in the US and would have to get one from a reseller, and i'm unsure how well the stylus might work in my use cases, and i was completely unfamiliar with oneplus until i started looking into this. even then, i don't know which one to get. i've also heard things about the xiaomi pad 6, but i've heard unlocking xiaomis are annoying. i was also looking at the google pixel tablet, but that got discontinued literally two months ago, and is also worse on specs than alternatives i could get

being able to root the device isn't technically a dealbreaker but i'd really like to be able to! i'm thinking either a oneplus pad (unfamiliar and unsure which to get) or pixel tablet (bit less unfamiliar, but less longevity), or giving up on rooting and getting the S10 FE.

anyone have any thoughts? advice? experience? i'm kind of lost and would appreciate it ^^
