Looking to root your Vestel Venus V5 without TWRP Recovery?. Then you are in the right place. Here we will guide you to patch and install root Vestel Venus V5 using Magisk app.
Do you want unlimited control over your phone? Android rooting brings a lot of possibilities and it can make your device faster with more battery juice by a few tweaks and tricks. Rooting a phone can also void your warranty. So please take your own risk before following the below method.
With a rooted Vestel Venus V5, you can remove bloatware, speed up your processor, and customize every element of your phone software’s appearance. Well, to root your Vestel Venus V5 device, we use Magisk tool by patching the stock boot image and flash that back to your boot partition. All you need to do is download the Stock ROM and patch the boot file from Magisk Manager and flash it.
Mostly uninitiated people compare rooting with hacking which is not correct. The purpose in both contexts is quite different. Hacking is more like breaking into someone’s else system illegally, whereas rooting is mostly done by the owner of an Android device to gain superuser advantages of the device.

How to Extract and Patch Boot.image using Magisk?
First of all, download and extract the ROM to your PC.
Attach your device via USB cable and copy only the boot.img file from the extracted folder to your device storage
Launch Magisk Manager. When a popup appears asking to install Magisk, select INSTALL and choose install again.
Tap on “Patch Boot Image File”.
Navigate to internal storage and select your phone’s boot image that you transferred earlier.
Wait for a couple of seconds. Magisk will start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image has been patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” from the internal storage and replace it in the same extracted folder on your PC.
Now you can follow the second step to flash the patched boot image file.
How To Install the Patched Boot Image on Vestel Venus V5
Install the QPST package on your PC and run QFIL. Select Flat build, then navigate the programmer path to your ROM folder. Select the prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf as your programmer path. Next, load XMLs RawProgram0.xml and patch0.xml.
Let’s begin by booting our phone into emergency download mode.
To boot into emergency download mode, you need to press and hold Shift Key and Right Click button on the mouse in the empty space. You will see the below dialog box popping up.
Click on Open Powershell Window or Command window here. Basically, the command prompt opens up upon clicking.
Type the adb command to boot your phone into emergency download mode
adb reboot edl
QFIL should go from ‘No Port’ to ‘Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008’.
Immediately after you see this pop-up, select ‘Download’. This will completely reset your device.
If flashing was successful, wait a bit then boot your device. You should see a little warning complaining that the software has been altered. Wait a little bit more. You can install magisk manager at this point if it didn’t show up after the flash. Reboot the device again.
That’s it! You should have a rooted device now.
In some cases, if the above method doesn’t work on your Vestel Venus V5, then try via ADB fastboot method.
After extracting ADB fastboot tool, you must move the patched boot image to the same folder. Hold the SHIFT key and click on the right mouse button to open the command window/PowerShell.
Run the following command in the open command prompt.
fastboot flash recovery [filename.img]
Please replace [filename.img] with the name of the TWRP Recovery img file you downloaded followed by the .img extension.
The flashing process will begin. Once done, run
fastboot reboot
