How we verify

The two-source rule

We list a device as Yes only when we have proof from at least two independent source families for that exact model, matched by model name, not only a shared codename. A source is one of:

• a working, step-by-step guide,
• a public code repository for the method, or
• a confirmed report from a user who did it on that device and firmware.

Two posts that copy the same guide count as one source. LineageOS plus TWRP, postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch, /e/OS, or Droidian is one family: those trees reuse LineageOS device code, so they are not a second source. An XDA thread, a separate non-LineageOS repo, or a confirmed user report on another host can be the second family.

If we have only one independent family, the device stays listed as Partial. If we have no valid proof, it stays off the site.

What our ratings mean

• Yes: full root works on the listed model and firmware, confirmed by two independent source families.
• Partial: root works only on some models, regions or firmware versions, or with real limits (for example, temporary root, or root that breaks after reboot or updates), or we have only one independent source family. The device page says which.
• No: no working root method is known for current firmware, or known methods have been patched.
• Not yet rated: we haven't verified it yet. This is not a verdict either way.
• Debloat (no root): you can remove or disable preinstalled apps without rooting, usually with standard developer tools.
• Sideload (no root): you can install apps from outside the official store without rooting.

Ratings can change when vendors push updates. Every device page shows the date we last checked it.

We link out; we don't host exploits

We don't host, upload or distribute exploits, root tools, firmware or modified files. We link to the original guides, specialist wikis, forums and repositories, and the credit stays with their authors. If a linked source goes down or changes, tell us and we'll update the page.

Use at your own risk

Rooting, unlocking, debloating or sideloading can:

• void your warranty,
• brick your device or cause data loss,
• break security features, updates or apps (including banking and streaming apps), and
• breach your carrier's, platform's or service provider's terms of service.

You're responsible for what you do with your device. Back up first, follow the original guide exactly, and check the laws and contract terms that apply to you. canirootit.com gives information only. It is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, and we aren't liable for any damage, loss or costs that come from using it or the sites we link to.

Affiliate links and sponsors

Some links are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, and we may also earn commissions from AliExpress and other retailers. This doesn't change the price you pay. Affiliate partners and sponsors never influence a verdict: ratings follow the two-source rule only, and nobody can pay to have a device rated or re-rated.
