Heyo !
Been looking for information on how to bootloader unlock and root this device but so far there's not much I've found.
There's generic guides out there like this one : https://www.mobilewithdrivers.com/unlock-bootloader/vivo-iqoo-z1-128gb-6gb-ram
But as there are no reports on whether this will work I'm quite skeptical about getting this device at all.
There's also one more guide which claims to be able to root without recovery using magisk img but that one too is from website with generic root tips and you have no idea what image they're supplying you with....
So I'm curious if anyone actually rooted theirs iqoo z1 ?
If not the guide I linked contains cmd commands where I would start , so if anyone actually does decide to follow it please let us know ! ( In case website changes over time , I'm posting picture below )
Many thanks....
As for anyone actually looking into getting this device I suggest going for k30 ultra or something else tbh.... It's already known that this device has one of the worst cooling designs out there , there is no dissasembly yet so my speculation is that it features no thermal pads, thermal paste, vapor chambers or any heat dissipation methods of the sort. It throttles within minutes of the thermal throttle test and not just by a little margin but well over 50% of it's performance. Other 865 phones on the market hold stable for the full 15minutes duration of the test , throttling not even by 5% of their performance.
There's already dissasemblies of k30 ultra out there , it features vapor chambers under the screen so I guess that's something... It doesn't save it from same throttling issues tho ,but at least it throttles in much less severe fashion - What's minimum performance recorded on the throttle test for k30 ultra is what's average performance for the iqoo z1 throughout the test.
If you're still interested in iqoo z1 for the 144hz display and the lower price I'd at least wait until root possibility is confirmed and once we get a look into some teardowns so we can at least asses whether manual thermal mod will be even possible
On the paper dimensity 1000+ is supposed to be a worthy foe against snapdragon 865 chipsets , and it really is during the first minute or two of the tests, it matches up to 70-80% of it's performance but soon due to bad thermals the throttling starts and then it fails to match even like 50% of it. That is laughable performance so try not to get fooled by reviewers out there. The fact that even the phone from more reputable brand like k30 ultra that has vapor chambers, although not much of anything else asides from that still throttles almost as hard is rather concerning. It goes to say that these are either inferior chips for the mobile application, producing way too much heat to handle and dissipate or the manufacturers of these phones are cutting costs and to save few dollars they produce devices that can't hold up to even 50% of their advertised performance .
Either way , if you're not comfortable with opening your device and modding the thermal interface if even possible then stay away!!
