  • Hisense A5 root, debloat & unbrick

    Unbrick or Factory rest back to firmware 6.09.06

    I personally prefer older/cleaner/lighter firmware so I won’t demonstrate with the newer version of ROM.

    Unbrick

    Download stock 6.09.06.00 boot, recovery, and vbmeta partition image.

    Entering EDL-Mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hisense-a5-how-to-enter-hardware-edl-mode.4103929/. (Optional: purchase EDL cable. search keyword 9008 cable, qualcomm cable, xiaomi 9008, mi 9008 on aliexpress or taobao)

    flash boot, recovery, and vbmeta partitions. following guide ([Tutorial] How to use QFIL to flash to a single partition on Qualcomm) https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-31476.html

    Restore to factory settings

    6.09.06.00 rom download https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JBzsFrtGtIXLYTPTMA2cc9spp_dxF_WX

    Flash above rom in TF-mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hisense-a5-root-gapps-customizer-r05-06-10-04-00.4097951/post-82575517

    Root & Magisk

    Follow instruction https://www.chinahandys.net/hisense-a5-playstore-guide-english/ but do not install Google suite/playstore for better privacy and less memory usage. Install apkpure and f-droid instead of google family spyware.

    Download Magisk v23.0 install apk from the official release page https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and install it. Don’t install version higher than v23. Launch it and confirm the “Requires Additional Setup” box with “Ok”. DO NOT upgrade Magisk further otherwise can potentially brick the phone. DO NOT update Magisk within Magisk, otherwise can destroy the boot partition.

    Debloat & Cleanup

    Install De-bloater in Magisk or Total Commander with root permision. Follow JLowe’s instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hisense-a5-info-thread.4101945/post-82795057
