Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right community to ask but I'm currently trying to break the DRM used by BookWalker. I think I'm pretty close but I'm missing a few pieces of information that I can't get myself since I can't root my phone and the BookWalker app won't run unless it's signed by their release key or if it's in an emulator.

So... if you happen to have a rooted Android phone that can run the BookWalker app and you bought some manga on their store, please, send me a message. I'll walk you through the info I need and how to get it and hopefully manage to break the DRM. Thanks in advance.

if you've gotten this far then I recommend picking up a used or super-cheap android phone to root it yourself 😅 it's probably easier than to give a walkthrough with a stranger, might also have some mistrust

I do have an old phone that I plan to try this with it's just that it'll be at least a week before I get the phone in my hands as I don't have it with me where I'm at. Also I'll have to work on hiding the fact that it's rooted since the BookWalker app won't run if it is. I'm just trying to make my life easier, that's all 😅

Unless I'm missing something deDRM does not support BookWalker

Ah, my bad. Took a shot in the dark there.
