Best way to stop my Android devices from getting updates indefinitely?

So the UK is about to implement a new law that will force all mobile devices to scan apps like the camera and messaging for nudity and the only way to opt out of it is to verify your age. I'm not sure yet if using a vpn is a valid way around it yet because it's not being implemented until September. Under no circumstances do I want this technology on my devices. I have a Galaxy S23 phone and a Galaxy Tab A9+. For now, I've disabled automatic downloads in my developer options but I know that's far from a foolproof fix.

I'm open to rooting the tablet because I don't really use my banking apps on it, I do frequently use them and tap to pay on my phone though, is it true that rooting stops these apps from working? For the alternate method of executing commands on a PC using ADB, I've seen quite a few people say that even that didn't stop them from getting updates.

I've seen people mentioning firewall apps that block certain apps from connecting to the internet, but I think I would prefer a solution that doesn't rely on these apps remaining available. If any of those were to be discontinued, I would have to find a new solution anyway.

Losing access to my mobile banking isn't the end of the world for me, I'm happy to just check my balance online whenever I need to and go back to carrying my physical debit card around. I know there are security risks, but I'm already very careful about what apps I download and what websites I visit. I haven't had a virus on my phone or my PC in over 10 years.

What's the best course of action here?

Help

I have a Redmi Note 13 4G NFC. Unlocked bootloader. Whenever I try to do anything that claims it can make strong integrity work (Infinity-X, Tricky Store bla bla) it just makes it worse! I had to unroot my phone because basic integrity failed and I couldn't use anything. Strange thing is these options work for everyone! What should I do? I don't wanna lock the bootloader and risk a brick

Google Pixel 4a5g

What's the best way to root my phone?

I've used Magisk on most of my devices before.

I'm kinda interested in using Apatch but I tried using it on a Pixel 6a and it bricked it.

Now there are a few reasons I want root access but the biggest is I want to change the Boot Animation.

The phone is still using Android 2.3.6, so I need root. Is there a way this year that still works? Because I intend to install CWM via the original recovery update zip. when I tried it, I got a signature error. So, is there another way to root this Samsung using Android 2.3.6!??

What rooting tool do you use?

Personally I use KernelSU-Next but I used to use Magisk (simply because it was the easiest for me to use since I was so used to it). What do you people use? Question for people who use APatch, what do you think about it? Is it better than KernelSU (if you have used that before) and or Magisk?

[DEV] Native Linux/Wayland on Android via DRM Hijacking (No VNC, No Termux-X11, No PRoot)

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been working on for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. Most of us use VNC or Termux-X11 to run Linux on Android, but I wanted true bare-metal performance without replacing the stock kernel or losing Android. By hijacking the DRM subsystem, I managed to run a native Wayland compositor (Labwc) directly on the hardware while Android is temporarily put to sleep. If this post gets a hype, i will share the scripts and magisk modules.

Is it worth rooting the phone

I will get the op15 prolly white 16/512 UK, and I am a modding enthusiast, if there's anyone who rooted their phone,

what benefits does rooting bring?

What do you lose out on rooting?

How complex or risky is the rooting progress?

Need possible programs to Temproot device for data recovery.

Hello Reddit, I have an odd question about possible data recovery

Tldr:SD card destroyed, turned on phone a few days later to see it load all the images and galleries from the SD card before slowly clearing. Looking for Temproot access to get into the com.sec.android.gallery3d image cache to try and recover thumbnail images

Device details

Device:Samsung J5 Prime (2016)

Version:8.0.0 (Oreo)

Storage:16 GB

SD Card Storage:28 GB

So my SD card that had images/files from 2018-2020 was destroyed before I could back the data up. However when I turned on the phone it was originally on after removal, for a while. All of the images and galleries that were stored on the SD card appeared on the installed gallery app before slowly clearing and emptying, there were a lot of images that appeared as well.

In light of this, I wondering if it would be possible for a temproot exploit via PC to recover the cached files/thumbnails without factory resetting the phone if possible? I did do minor app installs to try to recover them such as diskdigger which brought up around 5000+ files. (I am now aware to not do this and overwrite data but I was desperate.)

The device is a J5 Prime, running android version 8.0.0. Total storage is 16GB and the broken SD card had 28 GB of storage, it is unrooted and the bootloader isn't unlocked.

I just need the cached thumbnail images if possible since I've accepted that the original image files are gone

Edit:I've also tried to access the com.samsung.gallery3d files, while there is a files folder. The cache folder is most likely hidden since it doesn't appear and there are some images in the phone gallery.

Thank you for the answers. Bad or good. I just hope there is even a slim chancd.

I think I soft-bricked my device so how to recover it safely

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Android modding and custom ROMs, and I think I've soft-bricked my Redmi 9A.

What happened:

I was preparing to install a custom ROM.

I entered recovery mode.

I selected "Wipe all data."

Then I rebooted the phone.

After that, the phone no longer boots into Android.

The good news is that I can still enter:

Fastboot mode

Recovery mode

So I believe it's a soft brick rather than a hard brick.

I haven't unlocked the bootloader successfully yet, and I'm trying to understand what my recovery options are.

My questions are:

  1. Is this definitely a soft brick?

  2. Can this usually be recovered without replacing hardware?

  3. Should I continue trying to recover it myself, or is it better to let the Xiaomi service center fix it? (They quoted me around ₹177.)

  4. Once it's fixed, would you recommend continuing with the Redmi 9A for learning custom ROMs, or switching to another phone like a Samsung Galaxy A13 4G if it has good ROM support?

I'm trying to learn properly rather than blindly following tutorials, so I'd really appreciate any advice or explanations.

Thanks!
