The Jolla Phone is a 2025 Android device from Jolla. It combines the Mediatek Dimensity 7100 (6 nm) and a 6.36-inch display, running Sailfish 5.0. This page tracks its full specifications, root status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.
Root the Jolla Phone
The Jolla Phone is a 2025 Android device from Jolla. It runs the Mediatek Dimensity 7100 (6 nm), a MediaTek platform, flashed via SP Flash Tool on many models with BROM as the deep-recovery path. Shipped software: Sailfish 5.0, up to 5 major OS upgrades, Android OS apps support. 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 1–3 hours.

Bootloader unlock on Jolla
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
MediaTek platforms flash through SP Flash Tool rather than plain fastboot on many models, and expose BROM mode as a deep-recovery path. Correct scatter/firmware matching matters more here than on Snapdragon devices.
Before you start
- Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.
FAQ
Can I root the Jolla Phone?
Yes. After enabling OEM Unlocking and unlocking the bootloader, root is Magisk via patched boot image (fastboot). The unlock notes on this page describe the exact Jolla procedure.
Does the Jolla Phone 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 Jolla Phone void my warranty?
Jolla will generally treat a rooted Jolla Phone 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.
What Android version does the Jolla Phone run?
It runs Sailfish 5.0, up to 5 major OS upgrades, Android OS apps support. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
