The HMD 100 is a 2025 Android device from Hmd. It runs the Unisoc 6533G, a Unisoc platform with thinner community tooling — extra caution warranted. For this model the realistic path is: a standard fastboot bootloader unlock, followed by Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 2–4 hours (after eligibility check).

Bootloader unlock on Hmd
Unlock procedure follows the generic Android flow: enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options, then unlock via fastboot. Exact availability depends on the model and region — confirm before flashing.
Platform notes
Unisoc platforms have thinner community tooling than Qualcomm or MediaTek; unlock and flash procedures exist for many models but documentation is sparse — verify your exact variant before flashing anything.
Before you start
- Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.
FAQ
Can I root the HMD 100?
Only if this exact model and region are eligible for a bootloader unlock. Unlock procedure follows the generic Android flow: enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options, then unlock via fastboot. Exact availability depends on the model and region — confirm before flashing. Once an unlock is approved, root is Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot).
Does the HMD 100 support custom recovery (TWRP)?
That depends on community support for this exact model — verify a build exists for its codename before flashing anything. TWRP is not required for root: Magisk installs by flashing a patched boot image via fastboot.
Will root the HMD 100 void my warranty?
Hmd will generally treat a rooted HMD 100 as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to root.
