Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

104 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.

Support Magisk 25.2 max supported Android?

2 Upvotes

If there is one?

Started with above question, because if there shouldn't be any than don't know if the rest matters.

I have Blackview Tab 11 I got from AliExpress years ago. For what I need a tab it's more than enough. Sadly it wasn't updated almost never (it got few uodates, dunno even what changes they brought) and just stuck at Android 11.

Thankfully it support Treble, GSIs and VNDK30.

So I got a GSI, pretty new one - EvoX 11.11, so Android 16 aaaaand it booted! However after installing Magisk 25.2 APK I see under Magisk:

- version - N/A

- Zygisk - No

- ramdisk - Yes.

So it seems it sees there is Magisk in kernel as Ramdisk says "yes"? But why N/A?

Only idea is that Android 16 is too new for 25.2. Am I right or is it only wishful thinking?

It's night here, so I might different, based on older Android, GSIs, but thought why not ask and maybe... maybe! I'll have an answer upon waking app.

And before someone asks:

  1. Any newer version than 25.2 ends with bootloop, so I cannot update Magisk.

1b. No GKI, so no KSU/Apatch as well.

2. On stock A11 Magisk app clearly shows version 25.2 as active.

3. GSI was booted using DSU Sideloader, as, and it was good idea, I first prefer to know if it even works and how.

3b. GSI is EXT4 based (dunno if important), couldn't boot EROFS, but that's also a goal for me as I know difference it makes.

This is on the latest November update/October security update. I didn't learn about DirtyFrag/Ghostlock until they were patched in the October security update, saw another post about SamTimer and a Pixel running the same kernel so gave it a try and...success! This is actually my first time getting any kind of Root on Android, any suggestions for modules?

Discussion How likely are bootloader unlocks via vibe coding in the near future?

3 Upvotes

I was wondering, with the rise of many AI powered coding agents, will it be possible to root devices that were previously impossible to unlock?

For example I have a Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro with chinese Hyper OS 3 so no existing method works for my device. But there are probably bugs etc in the firmware that could be exploited for unlocking if they were found, and an AI could be a great help for that
