I have been keeping updated on a possible root for the Hisense A5 Pro cc with the Unisoc Tiger T610 CPU.
Main problem remains that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Usually it needs an OEM code provided by the manufacturer, but that doesn't seem to be forthcoming.
There is a dongle for sale called Chinese Miracle that claims to be able to unlock Unisoc T610 chips since February. However, I have only seen forum posts describing failure to do so.
I opened up the Hisense and the chips are firmly covered in a metal enclosure. So manually programming the memory chips seems rather invasive to me, too.
The international version doesn't exist. There is just a workaround installing some Google services, allowing some apps depending on Google services to function. However, the mileage varies greatly and after 2 years of having the device the workaround just seems like wasted work to me.
Rumors worth checking into for the truly desperate are the allegedly nefarious hacking apps such as KingRoot or whatever. I also once saw a post of someone getting into contact with a Chinese person and paying him for remotely unlocking the device for around 25 dollar. Dollars well spend. However, I remember thinking that it could very well be the same person claiming to be both seller and buyer.
