🚨 IMPORTANT WARNING: INTENTIONAL HARD BRICK SCAM IN THE COMMUNITY 🚨
Hey everyone, please take a minute to read this fully. Be aware of a scam operating in our group disguised as "Display and CPU Overclocking" mods. The scammer posts edited proof of these overclocks and asks users to DM them for the files or to act as "testers." Once in DMs, they provide a low-level partition image file and instruct you to flash it via fastboot, which instantly hard-bricks your device, leaving it completely dead with only EDL mode accessible. When you confront them about the brick, they make an excuse and promise to fix it for free, instructing you to open your device's back panel and short the motherboard test points. However, once your phone is in EDL mode, they suddenly claim they lost access to their authorized account and conveniently direct you to a "friend" who charges money for a remote unbrick service. This is an intentional setup to destroy devices and funnel desperate users into an unregulated, paid EDL flashing business where you have zero protection if they take your money and block you. Please remember that real mods are always posted publicly with proper documentation, so never flash random partition images from unverified users in DMs, and immediately report anyone offering these shady files to the admins. A couple of people have already fallen for this including ME. We don't want this to happen to anyone ever again.
Specifically, the user distributing the malicious files and intentionally causing the hard bricks operates under the handle
@anjaylaokss. Once your device is bricked, he will direct you to his associate,
@Shakib_BD, who handles the paid unbricking extortion. If either of these accounts contacts you, asks you to test files, or offers unbricking services, do not engage with them under any circumstances. Please block them immediately and notify the admin team so we can remove them and keep the community safe.
