This makes it not unlikely that we've missed something or that there might be yet unanticipated issues.<br/>
You have been warned

If the robot fails to dock after rooting:
1. Dock it manually. Make sure that it is charging
2. Head to the dustbuilder
3. Build a firmware for manual install via SSH
4. SSH into the robot
5. Install the built firmware

The issue is that rooting flashes a newer firmware than the one installed from the factory; bypassing the normal update process.
As there seems to have been a breaking change in the communication between MCU and Linux-side-software, this breaks docking.

Installing a firmware package via SSH uses the normal OTA update process and with that fixes this mismatch.

Rooting is relatively easy. Usage of [the Dreame Breakout PCB](https://github.com/Hypfer/valetudo-dreameadapter) is highly recommended.
All warranty seals stay intact.
