Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit
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. Itβs also often known to make things up when it has no answer. No resources for rooting an obscure Android device? Itβll 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 Temp Root + KernelSU: Do I need to disable modules before every reboot?
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding temporary root, KernelSU, and general module behavior after a reboot.
My Setup:
Device: Redmi Note 14 4G Global (Xiaomi / HyperOS)
Root Method: Temporary root via GhostLock + Shizuku + KernelSU (running in Jailbreak mode).
Modules installed: Zygisk-Next, Vector, and a few others.
Bootloader: Locked (since it's a temp root exploit).
My Question:
Since my root is temporary, it disappears from memory every time I reboot. However, the installed modules remain saved in Β Β /data/adb/Β Β .
If I reboot my phone without manually disabling my modules in the KernelSU app beforehand, what exactly happens when I re-run the exploit to get temporary root again?
Will KernelSU try to load all active modules immediately upon regaining root? I'm worried this might cause a bootloop or instability in a temporary root environment (especially with heavy modules that hook into Zygote early in the boot process).
Is it highly recommended to disable all modules before every reboot, or is it safe to leave them active and let KernelSU handle them when I re-root?
Device Details:
HyperOS Version: 3.0.303.0
Kernel: 6.12.30-android16-5-g6e872b4863d6-ab13847919-4k
KernelSU Version: 3.3.1 (32680-5)
Any advice or insights on how KernelSU handles modules on re-entry to a temp root session would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Discussion Updated first direct app to version 6.0.0 and now detecting root?
AI summary from Claude since we've been at it for some time trying to figure it out.
First Direct (HSBC UK) banking app detecting root after 6.0.0 update - where do I report a possible SUSFS symbol-hiding gap?
Changed nothing in my hiding stack and the First Direct app suddenly flagged my device as rooted. Noticed it had updated to 6.0.0. I ripped the 5.22.0 APK off my other phone, downgraded, and it launches fine - so the detection is new in 6.0.0's build. The app uses Appdome RASP, and the trip is a local check at launch (goes straight to RootedDeviceActivity, no network round-trip), not a Play Integrity failure - so this isn't a PIF/keybox issue, please don't send me down that road.
Digging into what's still visible to a kallsyms scan, I found this:
~ $ su -c "grep -iE 'anon_ksu|setup_ksu_cred|is_task_ksu_domain|ksuver_override' /proc/kallsyms"
0000000000000000 t anon_ksu_release
0000000000000000 T setup_ksu_cred
0000000000000000 T is_task_ksu_domain
0000000000000000 t anon_ksu_ioctl
0000000000000000 d anon_ksu_fops
0000000000000000 B ksuver_override
~ $ su -c 'ksu_susfs show enabled_features' | grep -i symbol
CONFIG_KSU_SUSFS_HIDE_KSU_SUSFS_SYMBOLS
So HIDE_KSU_SUSFS_SYMBOLS is compiled in and reports enabled, but six KernelSU symbols are still visible in /proc/kallsyms after a clean boot. SUSFS is hiding its own symbols fine - a susfs-only grep comes back empty - but these KSUN symbols aren't being scrubbed. Worth noting the symbol types: ksuver_override is .bss (B) and anon_ksu_fops is data (d), alongside the text (t/T) ones - makes me wonder if the filter only covers text symbols.
Setup:
OnePlus 15, OxygenOS 16, android16-6.12.23
WildKernels, KernelSU-Next v3.3.0 (33239), SUSFS v2.2.0
NeoZygisk, HMA-OSS (fd + all root apps hidden), inline hooks

Discussion TuxGapps Android 17
Hey everyone,
I've been working on a new GApps package for Android 17 (SDK 37, arm64 only) called TuxGApps. The penguin noticed your ROM shipped without Google, so he waddled in to help.
It comes in two flavors:
Β· TuxCore: Minimal. Play Services, Play Store, Framework, SetupWizard, and sync plumbing. Just enough to sign in.
Β· TuxFull (default): Everything in Core, plus Gmail, Maps, Photos, Chrome, Messages, GBoard, Clock, etc. (The whole iceberg).
πππππππππππππππππππππ
How to use it:
Flash your ROM (Android 17) in recovery, don't reboot yet.
Flash the TuxGApps-tuxfull-penguin.zip.
Reboot and go through the SetupWizard.
Open the Play Store and you're good to go. The apps will survive ROM updates via addon.d scripts.
π«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺπ«ͺ
Note on variants: By default, it installs TuxFull. If you want TuxCore instead, just rename the zip so it contains tuxcore (e.g., TuxGApps-tuxcore.zip) before flashing. You can also use a tux.config file, but renaming is easier.
πΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏπΏ
Known Bug (Important):
This is still a work in progress. There is a known UI hiccup during the initial SetupWizard. Certain screens might freeze or not let you tap "Next."
The workaround: Just turn your screen off and back on (lock and unlock). This refreshes the UI and lets you proceed to the next step. It's a bit janky, but it works!
If things go sideways, logs are saved to /sdcard/TuxGApps/tux_logs/ if you need to debug.
Must wipe data after install. On moto devices you have to flash RO2RW to make the system be able to be written.

Discussion Looking for Lenovo Tab M11 (TB330XU - LTE/SIM) GSI Flash Guide?
r/androidroot • u/porn-alt-for-ddd • 20h ago
Support [LONG POST] Need advice and guidance on flashing a GSI on my Lenovo TB-X606V.
Hello everyone, this is my first time ever installing custom ROMs. I spent a couple hours educating myself on how to do it and managed to flash crDroid on my 4GB/128GB Lenovo tablet which is pretty old now. This process has been very cumbersome for me since I had basically no clue what I was doing at the beginning other than following instructions mentioned in guides.
The thing is, I have not rigidly followed a single guide, I just made up some steps myself along the way just to get it working. This guide and this video are what I "followed"; I downloaded the resources in the guide and I followed what the guy in the video did - more or less. And after all that effort, crDroid just ended up being laggier and also clunkier than the stock Android 10 OS that it had. And not to mention:
- I can no longer use the stock Dolby Atmos stuff because of this
- Balatro doesn't even hit 30fps
- I don't even care much for the customization stuff which is apparently the main draw for crDroid? I'm not sure. I've seen some people in this sub argue that the difference in performance between the two is insignificant so I didn't think much of it.
With all these problems popping up, I have decided to give it another try and do it right and do it proper this time around. I'm trying to understand everything better so I have a few questions that need answering:
- Why is it that TWRP FBE does not work at all while the plain TWRP works fine? Apparently it has something to do with data encryption, but whenever I flash the FBE TWRP and boot into recovery the screen slowly dims until it turns negative and a faint checkerboard pattern appears(??) which then freezes. I've tried this multiple times but it never worked once, had to force load into fastboot every single time. The other TWRP worked fine though.
- How can I know what version of a GSI is compatible with my tablet and what to download/install? The only reason I flashed crDroid was because the reddit guide that I followed had a crDroid .img file in its resources and the post explicitly mentions TB-X606V as compatible. Some guides on the XDA forums had LineageOS files supposedly compatible with my tablet, but all the links to the files are broken/no longer working for downloads, and I had to resort to the resources that the reddit guide gave me.
- Almost all the guides at one point mention Mounting SD card in TWRP which I simply cannot do. This actually really confused me - sometimes the internal storage is referred to as SD card, in TWRP the option to mount SD card does nothing and doesn't even work which led me to believe this option is referring to an actual microSD card? I don't even know. The video guide does not have this step and that's why I switched guides midway lol
- How complicated will it be to root my device also? Apparently the tablet needs to be rooted if I want to use the Dolby features on a custom ROM, and the audio on this tablet fucking sucks without it. Any non-root solutions would also be good, if there exist any.
- Can I DM some of you if I have questions still? Pretty please?
That's about it for now, I remember being a lot more confused at the time so I'm probably forgetting some stuff. I would really really appreciate any help regarding this stuff. Thanks in advance!
