Yes, there is a way to root MINIX NEO U9-H now. Thanks to MINIX Forum member, tomeeli for coming this wonderful guide to root MINIX NEO U9-H. Most of my smartphone will have root access for the most useful stuff – AdAway. And other more. But I don’t care much about root access on Android TV box when use it mostly for movie and games sometime. How about you?
How to root MINIX NEO U9-H?
- Download TWRP (link) and SuperSU (link).
- Copy them to micro SD card (root level without any folder).
- Power off your U9-H, insert the micro SD card.
- Press and hold the recovery button inside the small hole on the bottom of the U9-H.
- Power on it while holding the recovery button. Hold the Recovery button until the TWRP logo shows.
- Allow write access in TWRP (it automatically pops up).
- Using a mouse (or A3 remote) to select “Install”.
- You may have to change storage to external_sd using the “Select Storage” button.
- Select SuperSU-v2.78_20160905010000_mod.zip and install.
- After installed, just reboot your U9-H.
- That’s it.

Hello, is this up to date? ie) the links?
Still the same version as the forum.
will all the things installed on the minix be lost after root?
They should not. But no harm to make a backup first.
Never got the TWRP logo, tried doing it plenty of times, stuck with a green screen then black indefinitely
I got the same screen and twrp appears when i just hold the power button for 7 seconds. Not messing with the hole at all. I got root that way but a lot apps crashing so i restored it.
