Important Notice
  • GSM Alladin ideally requires a hardware box. Running the setup without one won't work
  • If you are using a loader version (no hardware box required) then your antivirus might flag it. You are entirely responsible for your decision to heed or ignore
  • You should only flash firmware for your phone model. Doing otherwise could brick it
  • Avoid interrupting the flashing process because that could cause the device to go dead
  • For best compatibility, flash back GSM Aladdin box backups using the tool
  • For Secure Boot devices, you'll need to load the DA file
