🏴 Our Philosophy: True Device Ownership

You bought it. You own it.

Image Anarchy is a digital rights tool designed to restore control of your devices to YOU - the owner. We believe that when you purchase a device, you should have complete freedom to:

• Install any software you choose
• Repair and modify your own hardware
• Access your own data
• Understand how your device works

⚠️ Responsible Use Policy

Image Anarchy includes powerful tools that must be used responsibly:

• ✅ DO use on devices you legally own
• ✅ DO comply with all laws in your jurisdiction
• ✅ DO use for device recovery, repair, and customization
• ❌ DON'T use on stolen devices
• ❌ DON'T use for fraud or illegal purposes
• ❌ DON'T modify IMEI for malicious purposes

IMEI modification is illegal in many countries. We provide these tools for legitimate repair and recovery purposes only. You are solely responsible for knowing and following your local laws.

#    Make changes...
#    Repack using GUI: Image Repack tab -> Ramdisk

# 4. Create new boot.img (GUI: Image Repack tab -> Boot Image)

Disable AVB for Custom ROM

# Using GUI:
# 1. Image Extract tab -> Load vbmeta.img
# 2. Check "Disable dm-verity" and "Disable AVB verification"  
# 3. Optionally check "Re-sign with custom key"
# 4. Extract

# Or create fresh disabled vbmeta:
# Image Repack tab -> vbmeta Image -> Check both disable options -> Create

Port TWRP to Another Device

# GUI: Recovery Porter tab
# 1. Load source TWRP recovery.img (working on similar device)
# 2. Click "Analyze" to see recovery structure
# 3. Replace kernel with target device's kernel
# 4. Replace DTB if needed (device tree for hardware)
