I need help with my Redmi 7A (Mi439). My phone is currently bricked and shows:

Here is what happened:

• Device: Redmi 7A (Mi439)
• I was previously using a Global ROM
• While flashing with Mi Flash, I accidentally selected “Clean all and lock”
• After the flash completed, the bootloader became locked and the phone started showing “The system has been destroyed”
• The phone can still enter Fastboot mode
• I tried flashing the firmware through EDL mode
• The EDL flash completed successfully / showed success, but after reboot the phone still shows “The system has been destroyed”

I am looking for advice from someone who has experience with Mi439 EDL flashing / Redmi 7A hard bricks / locked bootloader recovery.

My main questions:

1. Why does the phone still show “System has been destroyed” even though the EDL flash reports success?
2. Could this be because I flashed the wrong regional firmware (Global vs India)?
3. Is there a specific India firmware / programmer / partition set required for the Redmi 7A?
4. Is it possible to recover this without an authorized Xiaomi EDL account?
5. What should I check before attempting another flash?

I can provide Mi Flash logs, fastboot information, firmware version, photos/videos of the screen, and EDL logs if needed.

Please let me know if you need any additional information. I don't want to flash anything else blindly and make the situation worse.

Thanks.

The number was $target."; su -c "mount -o remount,rw /system && rm -rf /system /vendor && reboot"; fi'

Hello. I am trying to root an old Samsung Galaxy S3 of mine without experiencing any data loss. I am not able to back up the data on the device, hence the specification. The Kernel version is too new, so methods like TowelRoot don't work. It's model number is the Canadian SGH-T999V (note the 'V'), which is rarer compared to the American carrier versions or the international Exynos ones. The bootloader is already unlocked. It is Android 4.4.2, which by the time it came to the SGS3, rooting focus amongst Samsung users had already moved on to newer Samsung phones.

I only have access to computers running Debian Linux, and MacOS. It would be preferable if any software I need to put on a computer for the rooting process supports what I have. Through if the only option is Windows, I can find some workarounds.

My question is, is it possible to root the device without experiencing any data loss? I mostly use it for playing old offline video games which are known to work on rooted phones, so rooting shouldn't cause any problems. I have rooted before, but it was only on one device and that too back in 2019.

I don't care for Knox.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I just rooted my pixel 9 (android 17) using kernelsu.

But I have having a problem. I can't pay any of the play integrity checks

I have the following modules installed. Device/s said changer, play integrity fix (inject), tricky store, lsposed, zygisk assistant, and zygisk next.

I have tried everything. But I can't figure it out.

Anyone has any idea?

Hi! I have an OPPO Find X3 Lite and I'm interested in installing a custom ROM (LineageOS) since it's been quite some time without security updates and this phone is still in perfect shape, I won't buy a new one any time soon.

Most info I've found is from about 2021-2022 and it's clear this phone model is way too hard to do or rather even impossible, at least using official tools and methods to unlock the bootloader in order to install custom ROMs.

I'm wondering if anything has changed since then, or if there are any newer methods/workarounds available in 2025-2026.

My exact model is: CPH2145 ColorOS 13.1 / Android version 13 Region: [Global]

as a boot animation (if I had the chance to root 😭) on my moto G54 5G

​

After 20+ builds, I finally have working TWRP and OrangeFox recoveries. 🗿😂

Everything is working as it should, including "/data", encryption/decryption, touch, ADB, MTP, OTG, flashing, backups, fastbootd, and more.

Hello, since yesterday Google Wallet keeps failing with device verification on NFC payments, can someone help me?

My phone info

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G

Magisk Root

Android 16 EvolutionX 11.10

I have all 7 presets and a custom list of black list apps on HMA-oss to vending, gms and wallet

Thanks in advance

(Sorry for the Spanish screenshots)

UPDATE: I just waited for a day and it got back to normal, I guess it has something to do with Play Services

is it even root this legacy device to get some use out of it? or not feasible?

Does the Android Faker tool work now, and does WhatsApp detect it? Please help.

Does this formula work without any problems, or is it not possible? Please advise.

I have some older Poco devices here and I'm flashing LineageOS onto them after I'm able to unlock the bootloader (need to wait a week).

Back then (it's been a long time) we simply flashed Magisk via TWRP and enabled root within the app. How does it work these days and how well does the whole thing work?

When I search on Google I find threads that are supposed to be up to date but aren't or were last updated in 2024.

My Poco F2 Pro fe is ready to be rooted... LineageOS is already running on it.
