[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twrpupdate:
Always go with official method in order to root any android device. No matter device is LG, vivo, and Samsung. I found a lots of website who guiding the steps to root LG Stylo 6 in 10-15 minutes and having positive feedback.

But before implementing the rooting steps make sure you check this list -

Device bootloader should be unlocked

Charge your device 60-70% ( It's normal recommended to avoid any risk )

If you're following PC method then make sure you have a data cable to connect your LG device else if you're following without PC then not need to do.

These are some important which you should keep in mind.

Here a safe box guide website simple method to root Lg Stylo 6 without PC - https://safeboxguide.com/root-lg-stylo-6/ After reading this article it would be clear how you can root LG Stylo 6 without PC with Magisk + KingoRoot method.

Hope you love it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haise.zero:
* The device bootloader cannot be unlocked because LG has prevented access to the bootloader.

* The safeboxguide article is a replicate of any other article you read and they have done zero research whatsoever and are only attempting to obtain views for ad revenue and clicks on their website.

* Root is currently unachieved on the device and LG devices are notorious for being unnecessarily difficult to unlock, let alone gain even a temporary root shell inside of.

* We are working on this actively and have been since about early January.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bhood:
Specs:

T-Mobile-locked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - N950U

Baseband version: N950USQU1AQI5

Build number: NMF26X.N950USQU1AQI5

Android version: 7.1.1

Samsung Experience version: 8.5

Knox version: 2.9

I recently purchased the above Note8. I have bookmarked a root method[1], but it requires bootloader v7. If I'm decoding my phone's baseband version correctly, its on v1, so probably won't work with this method.

I'm wondering, if I let it do an OTA update to Oreo (Android v8), will it hit the requisite v7 bootloader so I can, according to the instructions on that page, flash it back to a pre-rooted Nougat? ( If there's a better method than what I'm planning to follow, please advise. I'm all ears! ;) )

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bhood:
The links are still good in that post, but I'm a bit concerned about them. The SamFAIL downloads for the v1 bootloader are designated for N950F ("for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8(SM-N950F)"), which is the European firmware. Mine's N950U (US).

Does this SamFAIL root actually rely on the European firmware? How does that impact the Snapdragon? I thought the European phones/firmwares were designed for a different processor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bhood:
No dice

I followed the instructions on that post to the letter. The first flash didn't cause my phone to reboot (as the instructions say it will), so I rebooted it myself and got it back to the "Emergency" screen, whereupon I did the part #2 flash. It reset that time, and now it's stuck in an "Installing update" loop with the Android icon (with a "warning" icon above it) just appearing over and over.

What do I do now? Do I have to try and flash a stock ROM and see if I can recover the phone? Or is there something I can do from here that will help it continue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
Boot to recovery and factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bhood:
And the angels sang!

Since I couldn't get the damn thing to shut off anyway, I left the phone in the "Installing" loop overnight (since that was the least risk of screen burn). This morning, the device was dead because the battery had drained to zero, so I put it on the charger. I left it there for only about 30 minutes so it had just enough juice for me to try and get it into recovery mode.

I must not have held the buttons correctly, because it went into a normal boot instead of going into Download or Recovery. I let it go, intending to just try again once it entered the "Installing" loop, and LO! the "SAMSUNG" logo came up. It hadn't done that before. I put the phone aside and didn't touch anything while the logo pulsated, and it eventaully dropped into the setup screen! :victory: Of course, it almost immediately shut down because the battery hadn't charged enough, but I think it somehow reset/corrected itself when it lost all power overnight.

I left it on the charger and monitored the level. It stopped increasing at 80%, which is the expected behavior with this solution. I powered it on again, and everything is as described in the rooting post (except that SuperSU did not prompt me multiple times to update it).

So, at this point, I'd say I'm good. Looks like it reset itself, and the root succeeded. Hopefully anybody coming along later with this same issue on the Note 8 will see this post.

Thanks again, butchieboy.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] grakon:
i lost my phone late Tuesday night, i called it and rang a few times tried calling it again a few minutes later and went to answer machine,

either battery went or someone turned it of, ive checked on find my phone and it was last synced about 1 yesterday so guessing it was turned on briefly then , been no activity on it since, so its looking like the likelihood someones found and keeping it, so how secure is it? it has a 5 digit pin code, finger print and face to unlock the phone and i have stuff stored in secure folder as well which includes a picture of series of words to get into my crypto wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] B1nz:
For every android security is pretty much the same,

if someone don't know your password they can enter the phone by doing hard reset via the recovery,

but if you're rooted or using custom rom, then all they need to do is full wipe from twrp, which is not included Internal Storage and flash other custom rom and they might get into your personal data on your phone's storage.

also I believe if you enable device manager as administrator before, you have an option to reset your phone on Find My Device
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] grakon:
i never did root this phone i wanted to keep the credit card option, device manager is on and im keeping my eye on find my phone but not wiped it in the hope it might come back to me yet, ive got a year and a half of pictures on there and hoping the phones secure enough to keep people accessing the info.

on find my phone it still hasnt synced since the 29th 1.08pm so still unsure to put the wipe message on there,

I want to get a new sim card today so the sim in the old one will deactivate , do you know if this happens will find my phone still work? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] B1nz:
There are 2 possibilities for the fact that your phone still hasn't synced since the 29th.

- It could be the phone is still hasn't turned on

- Or it could be that your phone is already reset from the recovery, if this happen then you don't have any control of your phone anymore

also I remember that you can lock your phone from find my device, I don't really know what will happen to your phone is it still be able to access the recovery to reset the phone or not.
[General Monetization] Infatica_M:
Hello everyone!

There are several methods of app monetization: You can display ads, divide the app’s functionality into “basic” and “pro” segments, and so on. However, a monetization model that is too aggressive -- displaying too many ads or setting an unreasonably high price -- may produce worse user experience. App development, therefore, is a constant struggle to balance monetization and user satisfaction.

We at Infatica, a global peer-to-business proxy network, have come up with another solution: SDK monetization.

How it works

You can implement the Infatica SDK into your application -- this will allow users to join our network. For providing resources of their idle devices, users will be rewarded with an ad-free app, premium features, or something else you’d like to introduce as a benefit.

Advantages

Implementing the SDK is worth the effort -- here are some of the advantages both you and your users will get:

Extra income: The SDK allows you to earn extra income. Naturally, you can combine it with any other monetization method.

Omni-monetization: You’re monetizing your users even if they aren’t visiting your app.

User loyalty: Users prefer to become a peer in our network rather than watch ads or buy subscriptions.

Better user experience: You’ll keep your retention rate safe due to better user experience -- you can offer your app without ads or for free.

Transparent rules: We don’t have any hidden terms. All the rules are clear, and we are diligent about following them

Lightweight: The SDK has minimal impact on the size of your app and doesn’t create additional load.

Wide range of platforms: We support monetization in both desktop (Windows, macOS) and mobile (iOS, Android) applications, as well as Chrome extensions.

Respect for user rights and user experience: Although app monetization is important, we hold our users even higher. To protect their rights and ensure the best user experience, we follow strict security measures and policies.

Money

The financial aspect of app development is especially important, so here’s a breakdown of how much money you can make: We pay per ACU (Average Concurrent User) per month, with an additional factor of user location.

Safeguards against abuse

SDK monetization offers some powerful features, so you’re in the right to think: “Is it safe for my users?” Yes, it is safe -- our security measures include strict compliance and network monitoring, ensuring that peer resources are only used legitimately.

Furthermore, we don’t collect or share with third parties any user data, with the exception of IP location data.

P.S. If you have any questions, you can leave a request with us and our managers will answer you.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Guides, News, & Discussion] coolvipcandy:
Pre-Requirements:

Supported for: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (Phoenixin) Indian variant only. The device should be running on stock ROM to apply the update. though the guide is universal for all Redmi Note 9 Pro Max phones but the links are for Indian variant only. DO NOT use on different ROM,, For other Varients use this guide but with specific ROM for your device variant.

Requires: A PC/Laptop and a USB cable. (use only the cable that came in box)

Charge: Keep your device charged more than 50%.

Steps :

1. Download MIUI V11.0.4.0.QJXINXM – Recovery ROM | OTA ROM (official link from xiaomi website for Indian varienat)

2. Mi Flash Tool – Download and Install it on your PC (required to unlock bootloader, which we will not discuss here)

3. Download ADB and Fastboot Tools on your computer

4. Download Xiaomi USB Drivers and install it on the PC

5. update or install the latest MIUI version on your Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (Phoenixin) successfully. Feel free to ask in the comments below for any queries. Current version at time of post is V11.0.4.0.QJXINXM (link above). Make sure the model of your phone and the installed firmware EXACTLY match what you're downloading. If they don't, it may not work correctly.

6. Install Magisk Manager (.apk) on your phone from the official Magisk repository.

7. Extract boot.img (about 132MB) from the official ROM zip you downloaded and transfer it to the phone. Click "install" in Magisk Manager and point it to boot.img. This should result in a patched magisk_patched.img (about 16MB - padding was removed), transfer this file to your computer. Ideally to the Mi Unlock folder where fastboot.exe is located.

8. Reboot your phone to fastboot recovery mode. Open a command prompt in the folder of the Mi Unlock tool and run

Code:

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

This flashes the patched Magisk-enabled bootloader to your phone.

9. Reboot the phone and that's it! Verify root status in the Magisk Manager app.

[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Atharkhan101:
I think you'll still get OTA update but once you update the phone will loose root. So Don't worry about OTA update because you can always download the latest firmware posted on Xiaomi website. Root, install Xposed. Install xposed modules like Gravitybox, MiUi 8 Tweaks, Boot manager and you'll never think again of OTA because so much of customizations and performance improvements you can do on your own with these modules.

PS: Not all OTAs are good. Don't depend much on OTAs because some device manufacturers push OTA to make your device work bad and so you'll buy new phone.
