The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra is an Android device from OnePlus, released in 2025. It combines the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ (3 nm) and a 6.83-inch display, running Android 15. This page tracks its full specifications, root status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.
Root the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra is a 2025 Android device from OnePlus. It runs the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ (3 nm), a MediaTek platform, flashed via SP Flash Tool on many models with BROM as the deep-recovery path. Shipped software: Android 15, ColorOS 15. For this model the realistic path is: the brand-specific unlock described below, followed by Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 30–60 minutes.
Difficulty
Easy — well-supported device
Typical time
30–60 minutes
Method
Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot) — KernelSU also viable (GKI kernel)
Bootloader unlock on OnePlus
OnePlus devices unlock with a standard fastboot command and no waiting period. T-Mobile US variants require a SIM-unlock and an unlock token first.
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.
- As a device launched on Android 15, 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 OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra?
Yes. After enabling OEM Unlocking and unlocking the bootloader, root is Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot). The unlock notes on this page describe the exact OnePlus procedure.
Does the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra 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 init_boot image via fastboot.
Will root the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra void my warranty?
OnePlus will generally treat a rooted OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra 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 OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra run?
It runs Android 15, ColorOS 15. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
