Rooting the Android partition on the Chuwi Hi10 Pro gives superuser access to the Android environment — allowing you to install root-requiring apps, customise system behaviour, remove bloatware, and generally have full control over what is, after all, your device. The Hi10 Pro’s Intel Atom architecture means the standard ARM-based rooting tools don’t apply directly, requiring an x86-specific approach using SuperSU or Magisk installed via a custom recovery.
The Rooting Method
The most reliable approach for the Hi10 Pro involves installing a custom recovery (TWRP for x86 if available, or a compatible alternative) by booting from a USB drive. From the recovery, flashing a Magisk ZIP file grants root access to the Android system. An alternative approach uses the Intel Phone Flash Tool to flash a pre-rooted system image — faster but less flexible. Once rooted, apps like AdAway (system-level ad blocking) and Titanium Backup (app data backup) become available. Verify root with a Root Checker app after the process completes.
Verdict
Rooting the Hi10 Pro’s Android partition is achievable with patience and the right tools, though the x86 architecture adds complexity compared to mainstream ARM Android rooting. The result — full superuser access on an Intel Android device — opens up interesting possibilities including running certain Kali NetHunter tools that require root. A worthwhile modification for the experimentally inclined.
