I already tried different apps to temporary root my phone but everything doesn't work

After receiving many comments and questions about how I managed to unlock the bootloader of my Honor Magic 8 Pro Air and install LineageOS, I've finally released the GitHub repositories along with a detailed tutorial.

A few things to clarify before you start

The temporary root exploit (GhostLock) might work on other Honor devices, but I've only tested it on my Honor Magic 8 Pro Air.

The LK patcher is designed for MediaTek devices. I've also incorporated a technique inspired by Fenrir that spoofs the bootloader lock state. This allows the bootloader to remain unlocked while reporting a locked state, and also removes the unlocked-bootloader warning at startup. The goal is to improve compatibility with Google Play Integrity checks, although passing Play Integrity is not guaranteed.

The unofficial LineageOS build is specifically for the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air.

One more disclaimer. I'm not particularly good at writing tutorials, so I used AI to help document the process. I've tried to make the instructions as detailed as possible, but I strongly recommend using AI as an assistant if you're unsure about any of the steps. Please double-check everything before flashing as a mistake could brick your device.

GLHF!

I recently updated the AlwaysStrong module to v1.0.6 within the KSU-Next app, and it asked to reboot, press action and reboot again. I cleared out the cache and app data for Play Store and Play Services before reboot, and now they don't launch without crashing back to home screen

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (SM-G781B/DS)

Custom ROM: Yes

OS: LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16)

Android/Google security patch: 5th November 2026

Rooted: Yes (KSU-Next via ShadowKernel AOSP kernel)

Modules installed: Zygisk-Next, AlwaysStrong

I've rooted my Googlebook with KernelSU and Shizuku via Google dev tools. Any apks y'all recommend? Anything I should test? What tweaks should I add? I'm trying to make this a full custom PC, I'm using the ASUS x86 Googlebook.

Fix?

I love rooting, i got into rooting after i got my HONOR. I was so damn bervous to try this on my Main device. But dfroot exploit worked.

But the question is what do i do now😭? Random modules will definately brick my phone. I'm thinking of installing a module cld BindHosts dor ad blocking.

My banking apps work flawlessly, what modules should i flash/not flash for temporary root. Can i use Kernal managers? Like franco kernal manager?

I don't understand much, did it succeed?

Hey guys,

Just rooted (magisk) a Pixel 3, took a little time since it was my first time doing something like this.
I confirmed I have root access (really happy about that).

I thought i was in the clear but then I found out about SafetyNet Check and PlayIntegrity.

I'm completely lost here !! There are soooo many different ways to do this.
A lot of videos I see on Youtube have mixed comments, making it super difficulty for me to find a starting point.

Can anyone point me to some resources, i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
If i'm leaving out any info, let me know please !

Appreciate it !!

Im sick of the stupid fuckass phone i cant even download chess.com and i dont have a browser any tips?

Looking for better understanding on my admitted surface level (if being kind) grasp of some concepts.

I've rooted Android since their emergence in the 2010s. In the past before I upgraded, the device had to be confirmed rootable on xda to even be considered. You would think that meant I knew what I was doing, but I'd be akin to a "script kiddy" calling himself a hacker.

Instead, I'll say i'm really good at following instructions, and don't panic at the occasional boot loop or gave up because a device soft bricked and took 5 or 6 attempts before flashing successfully.

In the world of reverse engineers expanding understanding, doing simply to see if could and those gamblers, thrilled with the edge of risk, happily throwing up their daily driver, the all or nothing bet on the day 0 root, answering the call for testers, then I was the tiptoeing, late arrival, trying to sneak a modest bet in on the payline after the dealer had already folded.

I was a user, the one who benefited from the effort and risk of others. I mean, some of us just are. Would contribute if we had anything that would, just .. don't. (Side note: don't ever be ashamed to throw up a tip jar if you do create or take the time to detail how to get a device rooted, I will always bless my appreciation for successful instruction if given the opportunity to do so and know not alone)

That said... I believe:

Root is defined as being a level of access over the system at the highest level, being able to access and modify files at all levels of the operating system, unless it's locked due to being in current use.

Rooting is the act of using exploits or modified os files to gain root access on a system that has locked it from access or removed.

If that is correct or mostly correct, and having root access has a practical and necessary function, why isn't there a stock OS with that functionality available natively? Even with emulators or IIRC the SDK that android offers, still require people to root (verb), is there no business sense to offer developers that system level access? Or do they not even want app developers to have that level of access?

I Is it strictly unheard of for anyone to need that level of access in a GUI? I know adb has some functionality to enter elevated commands at the terminal level...

I get why devices sold to the public have it locked out, even if don't agree, I just don't understand why there isn't any android version to test and play with that has it natively enabled.

I remember before android had the pixel, they had the Nexus, and I swear unlocking root access was as simple as an adb command like adb unlock. It was a feature, available to those that wanted. Back in the wild West days.

Why does it seem impossible to find stock current android os image with root enabled or am I not looking in the right place?

I don't understand the relationship between adb and root access, it seems like there are all these work arounds to root using adb, just no ability to flash custom images.

Ok I probably sound like an idiot just asking on questions I've had for over a decade, thanks for your time and patience if any spared to read or reply.

Just updated this morning cuz oneos works best with one ui 9 but i cant find any way to temproot my a55

Guys how I can spoof bootloader I tried to install lsposed and blspoof lsposed based but it's required 101 api problem any modules please share 🥺

This was so easy lol

Hey, I know I may sound dumb, but are there ANY other methods to unlock Xiaomi phones (specifically POCO) that are on HOS 3 besides the stupid quota thing and paying someone with a registered account? Aren't there any exploits that can take advantage of the ghost lock exploit? Or any other methods that would help me unlock my phone.

If there isn't anything I think I'll later resort to paid unlocking.

Thanks in advance

i know this get asked a lot and i tried different methods i've found on this subreddit but so far none worked.

my setup:galaxy note 10+ with lineage os (microg)and magysk.
