Roborock S6/T6 Technical information and rooting (Part 2)

In this video I give a technical overview about the Roborock S6/T6 vacuum cleaning robots and its differences to previous models. I explain the steps which are required to obtain root access and to install custom firmware (e.g. valetudo).

Please watch the whole video before you start disassembling your vacuum robot. By disassembling your device you risk to break it.

Due to the new firmware package format, which is encrypted and signed, we cannot use the traditional method to root our vacuum robots. Roborock unfortunately locked us out. The only alternative is to disassemble the device.

You can find the teardown video (aka Part1) here:    • Roborock S6/T6 Teardown: Many screws ...
