I watched a tutorial on YouTube where it works fine, but for me it says "No connection, retry". I know that one click rooting apps have always been sketchy, but in all these iRoot tutorials it works for them but it doesn't for me. By the way, my smartphone is the Nubia Red Magic 6 Pro with CalyxOS.

I read that Android 4.4 (or 5) is the highest version supported by this program. So maybe you just have the wrong phone for it.

CalyxOS from what I find is Android 11 based and is claimed to be pretty secure.

The OP should reveal more about why they would want to root and therefore UNSECURE this security focused OS.

"A long thread on the respected xda-developers Web site concluded, with detailed information and links, that the similarly named app KingRoot should be considered adware and malware, although it is often successful in gaining root access."
