[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuc13us:
Possible hope for root

It seems that there may be a magisk solution for root for this phone. However, after doing some little research I've learned that this phone does not have boot ramdisk. That being said, you cannot use magic to flash a boot image, you have to flash the recovery image. After searching online for a little while finding the firmware or software downloads for this phone seems to be too difficult for my attention span. If one were to manage to find the downloads and flash the patched recovery image through magisk, you could possibly obtain route that way.

However a second rooting solution could be fruitful as well. I found online a possible way to alter the update.zip file to inject SuperSu during the update process used in the stock recovery menu. I'm sure I'll find more motivation to do more work on this thing soon enough.

I've included a info dump I've managed to obtain for the phone. I'm hoping this information will help.
