How-to

How to

Unlock the bootloader, then root the stock firmware with Magisk; Kali NetHunter publishes a kernel for this device built for its stock ROM (which requires root). Custom ROM/recovery (TWRP) is also available.

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

This model was recalled worldwide in 2016 over battery fires, so most units were returned or disabled by carrier updates.

NetHunter on stock requires Magisk root.
