Carrier-locked variants may not unlock the bootloader.

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 (LineageOS) 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

NetHunter on stock requires Magisk root.
