I’m planning on running a rooted version of the pre-installed iodéOS image, so I haven’t been able to fully use the phone yet, since rooting wipes all data. Has anyone successfully rooted their BraX3 yet? I would greatly appreciate an official guide on how to securely root the device, as I don’t want to accidentally brick it.

Yea I need this as well. I can’t load anything in to the Android Data folder for any app. Was trying to dump maps into a folder and it wont let me even with Shizuku giving supposed permissions to do so for Solid Explorer. Very Frustrating.

I need to root mine as well. Kinda surprised there isn’t a guide yet.

Hy there. Is there a workaround now? My lineage procedure (unlocking bootloader, installing magisk via adb in recovery) isn’t working here. I’m happy about any solution.
Best greetings to the community
Has there been any progress on this?
I can understand that you want to know a way to root the device but why do you want to introduce a permanent vulnerability ?
If you want just to load files to some app’s folder there should be another way like sharing through another app or something that works only with an unlocked phone and an acknowledged debugging connection.
I can research this if you tell me exactly, first thing in mind is to try the Android Studio file explorer.
Well there is different types, and if one gets full access of their device to do what they need, then it is worth it. But of course the person needs to know what they are doing and to keep a careful watch, although one should anyway.
And yes in my case what I am wanting to do is load files in the app’s default folder, android/data I believe is the location though I would have to look to be certain. As long as it is a easy method that doesn’t require me to connect the device to my desktop via USB every time I need to move a file, I am open to doing it instead of root.
I imagine that you could change the permissions in the underlying Linux and add for example the file explorer to the users that can access the app’s folder so that you can unroot the phone after that.
Actually, that is inline of what I hoped would be possible. I know that some rootings can’t be undone without doing a full reset and or reinstall. But rooting, giving a file explorer super user access then unroot would be ideal.
Well, since you guys responded with why do you need this. I still cannot find a way to load maps into the user data area. No file manager allows me to do this 7 months later. So how do I do that otherwise. If no way to do this then. YES I NEED ROOT. My phone is still not my own if I can’t load data or maps into the data folder.
I did it years ago in iodé and recently on my Brax3 running lunar os. U need magisk.
This details:
Thank you. I will give this a try.

It is the more manual way of using magisk and at first I dirn’t thiink it worked but u have to go into the magisk app and grant permissions for each app u want to have root priveleges. I’d recommend getting an iptables firewall going like this:
I am of similar situation, being able to inject data into certain folders to update apps that won’t let me otherwise as they are ‘locked’ to only their folders. I even asked over on Iode forums and they wouldn’t even discuss rooting which was quite frustrating.
I will look into this. Thanks Lazarus. And Aileron, let us know how you make out. Also Lazarus, rooting caused you to loose your IMEI’s? That is concerning and makes me wonder what else might have been affected?
No, I lost my IMEIs by using the SPFlash tool and choosing format. I did get them back but it took a while because u need a windoze computer.
I was hoping rooting would put those back but no.
My BraX3 phones are not rooted now. I used to root phones all the time but lots of people have told me over the years that this is not safe. I rooted phones so I could run a firewall but now there are firewalls that do not need root permissions.
