Introduction
This topic will explain you, how to root FlymeOS 5 Global.



Requirements


Suggested
  • SuperSU
  • AppCenter


Root your phone

The UserCenter and AppCenter you may download here. Link: [APK] Important Stock Applications from Flyme OS 5
I suggest you to install the AppCenter, because it allows you to install the AppCenter becaues it gives you the pro version for free.
  • Install the UserCenter
  • Launch the UserCenter and log in to your name@flyme.cn account
  • Go to Settings
  • Scroll down and click on Fingerprint and security
  • Scroll down and click on Root permission
  • READ THE DISCLAIMER
  • Accept and hit OK
  • Phone reboots


Congratulation you now successfully rooted your phone.


Install SuperSU

So now it's time to install SuperSU. You don't have to do it, I just like the app and always do it right after rooting the phone.
Link: PlayStore SuperSu

It's important that you have version 2.46. Don't update, or you may not be able to udate the SU binary.

How to setup SuperSU

  • Install SuperSU v2.46 from the PlayStore
  • Launch SuperSU
  • You will be asked to update the SuperSU binary, select CONTINUE
  • Select NORMAL
  • Allow SuperSU the requested root permission.
  • Read the Warning
  • Select remember my choice and click Still Allow
  • Wait and hope for the best
  • Reboot when asked to do so
