Rooting XA1 Ultra Oreo 8.0? - Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers

So I tried to root my XA1 Ultra, but without luck. The bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed but root? From all the methods the internet gave me I only have one left to try (unless I oversaw something). I use Magisk Manager so my option is to either get the boot.img file for my phone and let it patch or flash the zip thru the recovery which needs a data wipe and I am tired of setting up my phone just to see that nothing happend (I mean I can ignore this point). But I guess that the encryption system (also in twrp) is my enemy.
My question is: Is there a solid way to root my devices? It is stock rom and has Android 8.0 NOT 8.1.
thx

Flashing magisk zip file should not requirer a data whipe.
I have never heard you should whipe data but when you install twrp you need to reformat your device.

Even with reformatting it said that it needs a custom kernel.

Hi there,
I'm looking for a ROM AOSP for my Sony xperia xa1 ultra
I would like to manipulate fonts and I think this is the best way to don't get a bootloop
I would feel really thankful if you could give me a link or whatever, I can't find it by myself
Thank you

I tried su but it aborted. And I had twrp installed but now when I try to flash it, my phone is stuck in bootloop.

That was is exact method in my mind after installing twrp. But have you cleared it from bootloop?

I only got twrp flashed once with fastboot. The twrp image was downloaded for probably the Android 7 version.

So is not for xa1-ultra g3221 oreo? And have you gotten your phone out from bootloop state?
Sent from my G3221 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

It is not for oreo and I got rid of bootloop by flashing the stock firmware with flashtool

At least out from bootloop. Which site if you mind where you downloaded the stock room, because most of this sites claiming to have stock domains are not reliable.

[ROM][d802] Recovery Flashable STOCK 80220B Vodafone DE (+root)

Made this from the new 80220B Vodafone DE kdz.
This is the complete LG KK 20B ROM - nothing missing or messed with.
If you follow the method below exactly, no Audio glitches, no Touchscreen problems.
You can flash SuperSU and get root if you wish - your choice.
I provide this assuming you have an understanding of the terminology used below and appreciate that any flashing activity has some risk.
I strongly advise against using any form of restore from previous backups, such as TB or Nandroid.
Once the process is complete, custom recovery will be lost.
Method:
Download both the ROM zip file linked below and SuperSU zip file (if you want root) and copy to your SD card.
You need to be already on Rooted JB or PURE CM11 with either TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 (nothing else).
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Wipe: System, Data, Cache. Dalvik (nothing else)
Flash the ROM zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (nothing else)
Go to the Mount page in TWRP and select System (leave the other defaults alone)
Flash the SuperSU zip - ignore any "FAIL" warnings
Reboot
Done
Don't use AutoRec to flash TWRP - you will lose Knock code.
Alternatively - if you have flashed TWRP on another KK Stock ROM (using AutoRec), you can full wipe (not SDCard) and flash this directly without going back to JB.
Download from here:

Hey, you mentioned in this thread that you were going to upload a flashable ROM with knockcode.
Is this what you were talking about? You don't mention Knockcode in the OP. Also at the moment I'm running Stock Kitkat, rooted and with custom recovery. Do I just go into recovery and flash this? (Assuming I have the right TWRP and I wipe Cache and Davlik) You have said its okay to be on rooted JB, just wondering if being on rooted KK changes anything.
Yes this is the latest with Knock code. It would be fine to flash from any other KitKat ROM with custom recovery. Make sure you make the correct wipes.
You forgot download link!
Also PrimaryGPT.bin is partition table so may have issues with phone storage size after flash... I could be wrong and it could be fine...

Download link on its way - uploading to G Drive this time not effing Mega.
I'm not testing this build - I don't want Voda bloat and 80220C Open is perfectly fine for me in all ways - I cannot for the life of me understand the hankering for Kock code.
Tried knock code and its awful...seems like its basically a pattern/number pin with invisible buttons...

Thanks. Personally I like knock code. It is easier to unlock while driving. . What could those two binaries do?
If anyone has a Pioneering Spirit, or the necessary cajones to try it, please report back!
You are scaring me to try it.
PrimaryGPT.bin
is for the partition( 16gb or 32gb)
and it can be excluded from the rom

well... of course the 2 additional .bin files could be excluded together or one by one... or left there.
Vodafone DE have both 16GB and 32GB variants, IIRC. Which may be why those files are there. So in theory it shouldn't matter if the whole ROM is flashed.
ROM wouldn't be stock if those files were removed.

Anyone who has flashed the kdz itself would have had the 2 files anyway, and it works.
Just need some feedback from those who have downloaded my flashable ROM and flashed in its entirety.

Hi flash this as per instruction from open. I was previously on cloudystock rom so all I did was install twrp recovery and then flash rom then flash supersu. ....Rom is running smooth on a UK d802. ... plus knock code is working as it should. But I don't particularly like it but it's working ..

Marshmallow 6.0 Info Thread

Figured since it's a brand new OS (Marshmallow; 6.0), it'd be nice to have a thread with all info on root/mods/recovery/ROMs/etc. Share your info guys on what works/doesn't work! :good:
1. First and foremost, the MM 6.0 100% stock TAR. Thanks so much @Sunderwear
2. Sadly, we still do not have a recovery that supports this new update (the TWRP 3.0 doesn't work unfortunately).
3. Root by flashing this TWRP in Odin, then flashing SuperSu 2.68 in recovery!
4. No mods/ROMs yet for Sprint S6 MM.
Has anyone got root already ?

anyone living outside of US loses their signal after updating to MM 6.0.1?
i flashed back the stock 5.1.1 OL1 freshly, then updated to MM 6.0.1 right away without installing anything.
anything went right except no signal. i cant make call or sms...
All you should have to do is flash TWRP in Odin...which is still compatible with the update and then flash SuperSU 2.68.

Have you tried going to options in Odin and turning off the auto reboot feature first before flashing TWRP. And then when it says pass...you manually reboot into TWRP...by holding the volume down and power button until it turns off and then hold the button combo for recovery.

GT-I9192I ( I9192iXXU1AOB1) Android 4.4.4 unable to install TWRP or CWM

Hi Guys,
tomorrow is a holiday, my stock Rom is using 95% of my 1,5 GB RAM, so I decided to install cyanogenmod 13 on my GT-I9192I.
- Yes ist the Version with 4 CPU Cores and Android 4.4.4 -
I searched the web, read a lot of posts about what to do.
So my plan was first to install a Recovery Boot Loader like TWRP or CWM.
After Reading 3, 4 Howtos i felt ready to start. ( Of Course I made a backup of all my data on the Phone! )
Downloaded Odin and the recovery.zip - flashing so far everying fine.
BUT I am unable to boot into my custom Bootloader. Volume Up + Power always start the Stock Rom Bootloader.
After trying lot of different Versions
recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-serranodsub.tar or
recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranodsdd.tar or
CF-Auto-Root-serranods-serranodsxx-gti9192
I am now at the point where I don't know how to continue.
My plan was first to do a Backup from my rom, after I got an Bootloader installed, but it's not working.
The good thing - my Phone still works . So I used Kingroot to root my Phone and installed ROM Manager.
He says: Clockworkmod Recovery already installed and TWRP also installed - but I can't boot it.
dropbox.com/sh/ixluu5xjvlh5ftj/AAA4GyaqdKS7dIP3Yr-a8i96a?dl=0&preview=20160525_230750.jpg
If I say " Create a Backup of the current ROM" the Device Reboots but in the Stock Loader.
What a I doing wrong? Attached some Photos:

Looking for a dark substratum theme

Hello, I tried a few substratum themes but they have a lot of black text over a black background.
Anyone got a good one for the stock rom?
I am using Swift Black theme. It's really good.
I was using swift dark, but I had a lot of black over black notifications, the worst one on my emails. The whatsapp layer is not so good as well. Is the black one ok for you?

How did you enable themes on the stock rom?

i installed the unofficial TWRP from the forums here, the non-chinese version. and then i flashed the phh superuser because I read somewhere else that it worked with the non-chinese TWRP. So I gained root, but substratum just wouldn't work. I believe I went looking for the files with root explorer to try and give it r/w permissions but it still didn't work.
I've been trying to find a step-by-step guide for how to get it to work on the Z Play but no luck

Phh's root doesn't allow substratum APK to write to the system, I had the same issue.
I reflashed the system and flashed the Chinese TWRP which finally allowed me to gain full root access. Or try to do a factory reset and flash the Chinese twrp

I've have flashed the stock firmware 6 times now. I originally flash phh's root and had the same issue you had, substratum wouldn't theme at all.
I believe I tried to flash the Chinese TWRP and root that way and I believe the SuperSU binary file couldn't be installed.
You need to remove phh's root completely, just not the APK but unroot completely.
Doing a full factory reset should remove the existing root method you used but it may not.
I've jumped through hoops getting this phone working the way I like my android devices to be.
I've never had so much trouble with any device.

It's not seem less root as far as I know but there's xposed modules that might work, android pay isn't available in Canada ,so I'm not sure.
I would also fastboot erase userdata as well.
Make sure you set up a pin prior to rooting through the Chinese TWRP

[DISCONTINUED][ROM]G955W_SnapDragon_Rooted_Slightly_Debloated_Canadia n_Variants

Your phone needs to be rooted before installing this rom. Root for te S8+ can be found here Thanks @elliwigy and all who made it happen
This will be a rom with system root so magisk or supersu hide or any root checking apps will not work
Download
AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.zip
ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT_CANADA.zip
Instructions
Unzip AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.zip and copy AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar to your internal storage
Copy ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip to your internal or sd card
Open Flashfire choose add zip choose ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip and choose to mount system
Choose add firmware and choose AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar select all three partitions and allow processing of cache
Choose add wipe and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
Move this wipe to the top so its the first thing flashfire does
Make sure inject supersu is not checked
Make sure the flash order is Wipe, AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar, Process Cache then ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip
To get SnapChat working click disable supersu in the supersu app settings
Reboot Phone Install SnapChat
Enable supersu.
If this fails go down to reinstall in settings and click

Due to the fact in the OP it says your phone has to be rooted before you can use this ROM, no. Most you should normally charge to is 80%.

The same charging bug still is present. I just through this up obviously I can't test this rom on your phone as I have Verizon model. I tested it on my phone but I used US csc codes so I really don't know how it will react on your phone. That being said I may not be able to answer connectivity issues and such. If anyone finds any issues using csc mods zip. You can always just flash the AP file and just use the supersu zip in the op in place of the Add csc root zip. This will give you a totally stock rooted Rom no tweaks or mods

Yes it does work on my stock rom. It also worked in the rom that was in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73489978&postcount=925
So we follow the instructions on the original post here linking to the g55u root, finish that, then come flash this ROM?
Does this ROM break Android Pay? Also any suggestions to make the backup/restore process simple pre -,> post flashing rom?
I dont think my CSC mods were working so Here is a new zip to try
ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT_CANADA.zip
Follow same directions in OP just use this zip

He is not running a custom kernel he is running the kernel from the combination firmware which is a stock permissive kernel for engineering purposes.

Awesome can't get root access can't reflash with flashfire because of no root access so I can't even try to reflash and can't go back to the other rooted rom so I have to go back to stock and start all over again. Great
