Root the itel S25 Ultra
The itel S25 Ultra is a 2024 Android device from itel. It runs the Unisoc T620 (12 nm), 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 init_boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 2–4 hours (after eligibility check).
Difficulty
Advanced — verify unlock eligibility first
Typical time
2–4 hours (after eligibility check)
Method

Bootloader unlock on itel
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.
- As a device launched on Android 14, the Magisk target is typically init_boot.img, not boot.img — patching the wrong image is the top bootloop cause on newer models.
FAQ
Can I root the itel S25 Ultra?
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.

Does the itel S25 Ultra support custom recovery (TWRP)?

Will root the itel S25 Ultra void my warranty?
