Rooting

Rooting LieppOS — KernelSU-Next

Step 1 — Install the manager app

Download the latest KernelSU-Next manager APK from releases and install it.

Step 2 — Get your stock init_boot.img

The GSI runs on the stock kernel, because Ulefone is violating GPL agreement btw, but that's for another day. To patch init_boot.img two wariants:

A — From stock firmware: extract init_boot.img from the official Ulefone firmware package for your exact build.

B — Download mine from releases :

Step 3 — Patch boot.img

1. Copy init_boot.img to the phone.
2. In KernelSU-Next manager → Install → Select a file to patch.
3. Pick init_boot.img. It produces kernelsu_next_patched_<...>.img in Download folder.
4. Pull it back to your pc.

Step 4 — Flash the patched init_boot

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot kernelsu_next_patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

Step 5 — Verify

Reopen the KernelSU-Next manager. It should now show Working.
