For noobs like me, the current Nokia 5 downgrade and root tutorials are a nightmare. But for me on a personal note, my current irl situation renders the necessary processes difficult.
I'm hastily waiting for HMD Global to roll out support for officially unlocking the phone's bootloader but I'm growing impatient, so I thought of using Kingroot instead, but has it been tried on a Nokia 5 TA-1053 running on Android 8.1.0? I saw a post claiming that the August 2018 security patch has made rooting difficult.. so probably May and below are the best bet on testing Kingroot and other automatic root software. Or perhaps it's just a bootloop waiting to happen?
Try it if you dont have August update... If you get bootloop you can use OSTLA to reinstall firmware, cause your phone TA-1053 Is the most used = More development than 1044,1028... Models, So just try it or rollback to Nougat... Also if you have older build try the method oficina unlock bootloader ($5) tutorial Is posted here

I'm planning on backing up all apps and other data then go test the latest Kingroot APK or KingoRoot in my TA-1053 Oreo with April 2018 update.
Should a bootloop occur, can I simply use OSTLA to reinstall the Oreo or firmware? or is there any steps I should do beforehand? I might as well install the Nougat firmware and root my device on it if Kingroot fails for Oreo.
Just use OSTLA 6.0.2.... you have the correct April build. You can try for first KingRoot or kingo, but I prefer downgrade method ^^
Quick update

I tried Kingroot = It gets stuck in 01% and preparing, does not initiate an exploit.
I tried Kingoroot = It goes to 90% then i'm met with a black screen. The phone still functions, i'm using the mobile hotspot tether right now, but I cant seem to do anything like go back to home, or even bring down the notification area. Update: It was just Kingoroot being unresponsive. I was met with a "KingoRoot is not responding" dialogue and an option to close the app, which I did. Now everything is back to normal.

The downgrade method seems to be the only option left if I don't want to wait for the official unlock.
Thanks for the info mate.
Thanks for your info about KingRoot ^^

It works I did it, but I can not find a way to fix the internal memory. So I'm stuck with 4GB of memory.
I was able to root At&T v410 using kingroot apk
i second millio007. I can confirm that kingroot DOES root lollipop.
kingroot does not work for me on 20c
U need Kingroot 4.6 that's why

So. Recent ly i had this EXACT same problem, but i checked 2 months later, and they had a root method ready. If you have the v410 (AT&T), Then you're in luck. There is this tool out there called kingroot, (link: kingroot.net/wap) And you are supposed to download this... Step 1: Enable installation of unsecure apps

I don't have a Fire tab updated to the newest FireOS or a Windows machine to test this out, but supposedly it can root any mediatek device running up to and including lollipop. It doesn't specify which lollipop version, but it's definitely worth a try!! I hope this works for people stuck on 5.1.1 without root and fastboot! Could someone please test it out and report back....

they only have root if you update it manually. if the ota just automatically runs without your knowledge and you end up updated to 5.1.1, you're stuck there with no root, no fastboot commands, etc. you can boot to fastboot, i believe, but no commands will work.

That's not right any more.
Root for ota 5.1.1 was achieved by k4y0z during the week. http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/root-t3272362
The updated supertool now roots, removes ads, blocks ota and changes launcher on 5.1.1 ota http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695
Some brave people have even since used Flashfire to move onto SlimLp too, CM 12.1 doesn't work for some reason.
5.1.1 can now be rooted regardless of how you got 5.1.1.
But this might be useful for amazon's next FireOS update. Whenever that comes out..

Getting the same error on that link as Ownster did
Though I think it was considered before

I don't understand why Google is blocking it, but I've added a mega link to the OP.
I didn't know there was recent progress. That's great news!
Looks like they are starting the rollout of nougat and the 5.0 shield software.

Edit: I believe this also applies to the k1 as well.
K1 also has the release notes online.
I hope we get something I can flash via TWRP real fast^^
My k1 download this right now ?

NOUGAT IN POLAND!!! DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW, SO EXCITED!!!
I ve root..can i update normally or i have to download the zip and flash via custom recovery?
Working pretty well, seems to be a little bit faster than MM
Feels snappier now. It also supports the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command now too, so its the perfect replacement for specialized Nexus 7 installs.
So uh... if I have root, what do I do to get it to nougat rooted?
The stability/cuts with WiFi is better in this new ota?
Flash with full version ota with FlashFire it'll inject root and keep the TWRP recovery all in one shot.
Any idea for release date on LTE no-US model ? (RoW)
I didn't have the update
I tried FlashFire it got me stuck in a boot loop
Got the update notification as well! Downloading it right now!
Full for wi-fi k1 5.0

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Note- I am not using any firmware finder or other things for this as I dont trust on FF as it messed my Honor 5C in February and I given up on it.
Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

Oh OK, as screenshots were for another phone (5c maybe), i thought 5x could be different.
So only stuff needed is stock and recovery stock and check OTA ?
Other thing, can i downgrade with twrp backup or is an add-on ZIP to flash also to do like aex->b340->b370->b340->aex ?

That was for 6X.
You can restore the twrp backup to downgrade not sure if can go to MM from Nougat but Nougat 350 to Nougat 340 is possible.
Yes only thing is you need to be on stock rom, to check for uodate you can be on twrp no problem but to install, you need to switch to stock recovery.
OP updated with instructions.
:good:
A good friend of mine gave me his T-Mobile SG S8, SM-G950U after he got his S10e.
I just wanted to confirm that there is absolutely nothing, as far as rooting, that I can do with this?
By all the rooting these phones posts I've looked over, I'm screwed, right?
The bootloader is locked and no OEM option in Developer Options.

Incorrect. It can be rooted on a nougat rom only without unlocking bootloader using JR Kruse's newer method. Bootloader is locked, so no custom ROM, etc.
You can have root, safestrap recovery, etc. on nougat. If you just need safestrap, you can get it with a Pie rom, but no root on Pie.
