Hello, basic introduction - Introductions

My name says it all, 65 and hopefully had figured that I had learned all the OS and software that I needed to get by with. Started with DOS and now looking into rooting and flashing A50 Samsung so I'm on another learning curve, Kodi and sideloading was my last adventure, so looking for help and patience trying to get a basic understanding of how to do this.
Thanks for the help.

Vaneyen Intro

Hi, I'm Vaneyen, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have lots of Andriod devices, and have meddled with rooting a little bit, but am not yet entirely comfortable with risking the brick. However, I am deeply interested in Hacking, which simply means "making My devices work the way I want them to." I have (with the help of Youtube bloggers) hacked Keurig coffee machines, so now it's time to get my Android devices working the way I want them to!
Hi Vaneyen and welcome to XDA! You came with experience to the right place for modding, flashing, development, etc.!
Cheers

Thank you, galaxys.
I have an Android TV box I'm looking to root, but I'm unclear of one thing. I've learned (thank you 3mel!) that the process will likely involve:
1) unlocking the bootloader (if needed),
2) flashing the correct TWRP recovery (for that series of boxes),
3) flashing magisk 21.4 in TWRP and
4) installing magisk apk.
Is there a tutorial on the site aimed at guiding someone through the process of determining the correct process for each of these steps? I've learned that my box in question has an Amlogic p212, but is that enough to go on?
Thanks for the welcome!

First post in the correct forum...
Seems like you posted good details in June in those forums.
You can bump your last post there and maybe someone will respond. Any of tutorial should be specific to your device if one exists....
I wonder if it is possible to install root rights on Apple hardware.

Good question, but I have no idea where to ask it. You may get good results if you google "how to root ios iphone" - I just did, and there are a few promising hits in there.

Introduction

Hello everyone, My name is Boris. I've been on the forum from time to time to look up advice with unlocking bootloaders, installing custom recoveries, rooting/unrooting, and installing custom ROM's.
I have a Oneplus 6T that has an unlocked bootloader running Oxygen OS 10.3.12. I figured I join up and see what I can contribute since I've used this forum so much to get great info, advice, and files from other users. I really appreciate what the developers and enthusiasts do here because this resource has helped me many times with not only my current device but previous devices that I've owned in the past.
My main reason for being here recently is because I haven't been able to successfully disable dm-verity/AVB or force encryption for the purpose of installing kali nethunter. Im trying to get that resolved and if and when I do Ill post all the info so that others with the OP6T can do the same.
IT stuff Im familiar with and have amateur experience in is Windows, Kali Linux, Monjaro Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Networking (Including Cisco training on ITPro TV), a bit of Active Directory experience, I'm a python beginner (Took a python scripting class at my college last semester), a bit of bash/zsh scripting, computer hardware, as well as a few other things.

Hello and welcome to XDA!
Try searching in your devices section.

Obviously couldn't find introductions thread

Hey everyone,
being the dumbass i am this is my second post as i couldn't see the introductions thread.
Well, delved on the forum for the last couple days, reading guides on how to root an OP5t first, then how to restore it to stock ROM after i bricked it trying to get back to Android after installing Ubuntu touch.
All of this, to run Home Assistant server on the phone since it's the 8gb version. Follow my other thread for updates..
Thanks a bunch for all the help, past and future.
Best Regards,
Roshi
