Not stock root. Needs an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM.

How-to

How to

Unlock the bootloader (fastboot flashing unlock / vendor unlock) and install a custom OS (LineageOS or Paranoid Android (AOSPA)).

Follow the specialist sources linked on this page. If this path is a jailbreak, unlock, or flash, the specialist wiki is the how-to — we do not copy those steps here.

Notes

Some TWRP and postmarketOS builds for this device are based on LineageOS device trees.

pmOS uses independent kernel (mainline or msm8998-mainline).

Install with fastboot.
