Phone: Nokia 5.1 plus \ Nokia X5 \ PDA_sprout

the system is on android 10 [5 oct 2021 sec patch]

its greyed out because you can't unlock it the normal way. as of right now there really is no development for the phone. no developer has made any custom roms yet. nor is there a custom recovery for it. so i'm not sure why you would even want to root the phone. just remember no dev=no fun.

any ways here are some links for your reading......might be worth a try:
