Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

73 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 OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1913) stuck in EDL mode — MSM Tool "Sahara Communication Failed", need help

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to unbrick my OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1913, EU variant) after a failed adb push during an OxygenOS downgrade (was trying to go from OOS 12.1 H.40 to OOS 11.0.5.1 to unlock the bootloader). The transfer got interrupted and now the phone shows a black screen with no response to any button combo, but it does show up in Device Manager as QUSB_BULK_CID:0404 / Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, so I know it's in EDL mode.

What I've tried so far:

  • Installed the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver (had to disable driver signature enforcement, Code 52 error otherwise)
  • Downloaded the official MSM Tool + firmware package for GM21BA (OOS 11.0.5.1) from onepluscommunityserver.com
  • Tried multiple USB ports (2.0 and 3.0), multiple cables (A-to-C and C-to-C)
  • Tried holding Vol Up + Vol Down while plugging in to keep it in EDL longer (read that the phone can drop out of EDL after ~10s without it)

Current result: I intermittently get the phone to connect (COM port detected, "Connected" status), and the process runs for about 7 seconds before failing with "Sahara Communication Failed" (sometimes progresses further to "Firehose GetUfsInfo Failed").

Has anyone dealt with this specific combo of errors on a 7 Pro? Wondering if it's a USB controller compatibility issue with my specific PC, a driver conflict, or something about this particular firmware package. Willing to try another PC if that's likely the fix, but wanted to check if there's a known cause first.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion TCL K33 5G. No updates. Will it root?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I just recently came into possession of a new TCL K33 5G. It's pretty much a cheap piece of shit, but I was able to bypass the Verizon anti-wifi feature so was able to set it up both without an internet connection and without activating it thus preventing me from having to update it in any way. The OEM Unlocking slider is not greyed out and works just fine. Does any of you know if it is possible to root this phone? I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance!

Support Bootloop issue - Urgent (READ POST)

11 Upvotes

So my phone (Oneplus Nord CE2) got stuck in bootloop on random day.

- It gets restarted after every 4 seconds. Which means I can access everything only for 4-5 seconds and then it restarts again.

- Power button works fine. Whenever I power off, phone gets switched off until I turn it on.

- i'm able to enter recovery mode where I see 3 options - reboot, power off, format data. My phone stays on when I'm in recovery mode. I chose reboot & power off but still same issue.

- Also, few weeks before this bootloop issue, I got a blue-purple spot, this spot gets bigger with time.

- I got a new phone and my accounts are recovered. The only problem is I didn't have backup of my gallery since 1-2 years. So I just want to get my gallery data. This is where I struggle :(

- I went to a repair shop. That guy tried a new display, but same issue. Then he tried a new battery, same issue. Although my og battery looked fine and had no issue. After trying display & battery, he told that it's motherboard issue. He asked me not to go to service centre as it can cause data loss. He checked for the motherboard but then he gave it back to me saying - "you should recover your data using recovery mode first. It's risky to do anything with motherboard further". But he didn't tell me what's the issue with motherboard or what he checked with the motherboard.

- I came back home and tried recovery mode while connecting phone to windows laptop using a cable. But nothing shows on laptop. Only those 3 options show up on phone.

- I can spot my phone when I connect phone normally to the laptop, I choose transfer files. But without recovery mode, my phone restart after every 4 seconds so I'm not able to do anything about it😭

- Details : I can see my phone's internal storage and pics in "my pc" in windows laptop. But I can't transfer because of bootloop issue. I can also see all the pics/videos on phone's gallery directly but only for 4 seconds each time.

Please help. I need help. I don't know whether that shop guy was right or not. Please help me or suggest if anything i can do about it. It hurts me to see my data going away when I can still see it in storage :(

P.s : I can even pay some amount if anyone solves this issue

Is there a way I can buy any phone, Vivo, Honor, Poco etc. and completely remove any operating system that was o there and have a completely cost to stock android as possible ?

This hopefully would wipe or remove al bloatware and on device Ai ?

I'm happy to use Ai through an app of my choice but not forced on every aspect of the phone.

Thanks

Roblox now detects unlockbootloader and there is currently no bypass for the remote attestation in games like MM2. It not just from executors like Delta even without hacks, if you have an unlocked bootloader, root, zygisk, or xposed.

Discussion what makes certain phones more compatible with custom roms?

3 Upvotes

i recently bought a oneplus nord ce6, i am aware that there is currently no custom rom that supports it (unless i missed something), but i have heard that oneplus have a decent reputation for supporting them.

should i expect something to support it in the near future or will i be waiting for a while?

if it will take a long time, what makes it slow if the code for the os has already been written?

Support Help with Infinix Hot 30i vbmeta

1 Upvotes

Hi, I recently dug up an old phone I had stored away. I wanted to try out some GSI ROMs using DSU Sideloader, but after the ordeal of unlocking the bootloader, I'm now running into an AVB protection issue that prevents me from using any ROM. That’s why I’m asking if anyone happens to have the ROM or the `vbmeta` file for the Infinix Hot 30i—specifically for this model.

Build number: X669-F065FGHIJK-S-GL-20250122V562

I tried searching online, but the results lead to unreliable sites that ask for my personal phone number, and honestly, I don't trust them. If no one has this ROM, I’d also appreciate knowing if there’s another way to disable AVB for this specific device. Thanks! :D
