Tips for Hacking Android Devices
- Never flash, root, or hack your Android device unless it has more than 80% battery life.
- Ensure you have at least an hour to flash or hack your Android device and always have access to a computer.
- Always make a Nandroid backup before flashing anything to your Android, just in case.
- Research thoroughly. Read numerous forums and watch instructional videos before attempting any modifications. If you don’t understand something, you might make mistakes.
- Remember to express gratitude to those who help you, including developers and fellow enthusiasts.
- Every Android device is unique, with its own set of tricks and potential issues, so study up accordingly.
- Learn how to return the device to its stock condition before attempting any hacking—whether that involves SBF, AP fastboot, FX, Odin, or ADB file transfers.
- The Android community is a welcoming place; there are no stupid questions.
- Make sure you know all the device information in the settings before hacking, including the model number, Android version, build number, and more.
- The most common problem during rooting or using a utility is driver installation. Download and run the driver install files, then connect your device to your PC. Enable USB debugging in the device settings (usually under developer options). Additionally, ensure the Android device is set to all available USB modes, which can be adjusted in the notification bar. If issues persist, use a program like USBDeview for driver uninstallation and reinstallation. You can find it on the My Downloads page.
Tom,

Help! I’ve been trying to use your tools on my Amazon Kindle Fire, and I can’t get them to work. I have Fire OS 5.1.4, and I’ve been trying to downgrade to 5.1.2, since nothing (installing Google Play, rooting, etc.) works on 5.1.4. I got the ADB drivers installed, and tried running the downgrade script, but as soon as I get the Fire set to receive an ADB sideload, it no longer shows up on the ADB devices on my computer. As soon as I reboot the Fire to the normal screen, it shows up again as an ADB device, but again, when I get to the ADB sideload screen, it disappears from my computer’s ADB devices. Any suggestions about how I can get this to work? Thanks.
Finally found a bypass for lg ls770zv8 stylo with the 4/1/16 security patch. After trying everything on the internet I just kept playing with and trying everything. It’s similar to your stylo 2 bypass. It’s really simple, no otg, no pc, no wifi. In fact you might need to have the wifi off to do it. Here goes. Go to accessibility settings, motor cognition, touch assist, turn it on, then tap it, then hold down the home button it then tries to go on the internet and then says no connection, now go to the upper right corner and tap the box with the three lines go down and tap reset phone data it then reboots in setup wizard. Finish setup and boom frp bypassed.
I’m having the same problem Cole with my lg stylo
Hi Tom,
I am having problem with my amazon kindle fire 5th gen (running on fire os 5.1.1). I tried to root it by your shell script on windows but it wasn’t a success.. Thus I tried Kingroot and got partial success in rooting my device.
But after some time it started to restart abruptly and I was now unable to factory reset it. At present it is not turning on. I can also not open android bootloader. It stucks on ‘amazon’ when I try to open bootloader. It continues to say ‘optimizing system and storage…’ stuff when I try to turn it on. The bar of ‘optimizing…’ progresses but continues to loop again and again on the same screen. Please help.
Thank you,
Hetul
Hi Tom, me again,
when I start the edl mode, I can´t see the device. I can see it in fastboot under miflash. When I start edl, it goes away. Shit…
Greetings
Hi Tom,
thank you for your anwer.
I got permission and unlocked the bootloader…
What happend now. I flashed TWRP like your introduction in your video!!! It worked!!! I opened TWRP in fastboot with the console comando.
But than after opening TWRP I had a softbrick. I don´t know why.
EDL and fastboot works. Nothing more else…
When I try to flash a fastboot rom,
(your kenzo_global_images_V7.3.2.0.LHOMIDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_global) the mi flash tool says, that it couldn´t find the data!?!?!?!?! The root is correct…
Do you have a idea to save the mi?
What should I do?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Greetings deadpool
Hi Tom,
I´m happy that I found your videos on youtube. Your site is geat!!!
My problem was a mi note 3 pro with a softbrick. Your video helped me a lot!!!
Now I want to install cm13 on the device. I have no official permission to unlock the bootloader. I saw a lot of videos and post on other sites and videos, but they are very differet and I dont know wich way I should try and wich will works.
So, I believe in you!!!
My question is: Do you have a descripion to unlook the bootloader of the rmn3pro for the unofficial way without mi permission?
In advance, thanks a lot for your answer. You make a great job.
Greetings
yeah i do now have that video but you just flash the right bootloader with miflash tool and reboot then you are unlocked its pretty easy. i guess i should make a video on it
