**2024-09-28 Update**<br/>
Starting with robots manufactured somewhere around Q2 2024, Roborock switched to SkyHigh-brand NAND on their newly produced Q7 Max.
Unfortunately, after dumping quite a few days into it, we haven't been able to get the rooting procedure working with said NAND.

Thus, if you pick up a factory new Q7 Max then chances are that it's not rootable anymore.
The rooting procedure is still safe. It doesn't brick the robot; it just doesn't work.

You'll only find out that it's SkyHigh NAND once you've disassembled the robot and thus can't return it to the seller anymore.
Thus, right now your options are:
- Buying a used Q7 Max
- Buying from a seller that doesn't move much inventory still selling older Q7 Max
- Buying something else that is supported by Valetudo


Rooting requires full disassembly.
