I have the same issue and I can't seem to find a ROM that would work with the G3112 model. Anyone found a solution?

You can install magisk module via an Image, but no twrp. (You can use xperiasite.pl and Google translate.)

T2 Ultra D5303 & D5316 & D5322 4.4.3 Pre-rooted stock firmware

Hi all
Here i got pre-rooted stock firmware to get our D5303 and D5316 4.4.3 get root
but the D5316 has'nt been tested yet coz i don't own the device..
please feedback if you have any problem and if you are happy..

D5322: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-838sA5iRQxeVJJbFpNOFpJeVk/view?usp=sharing
REQUIREMENT:
rooted stock rom
recovery​
How to:
first, your device must be on 4.4.2 or below to be able to root
second, root your device using tool in cross development section...try each one of them
thirdly, after the device rooted, install a recovery
then download the pre rooted firmware for your model and put them in sd card, and flash it trhough recovery..
remember to do a backup first
something that i can't figure out is we can't modify the system app, but if you want to have a sound mod, you can replace the mixer_paths.xml..
and maybe someone can help with that problem, but at last an app that requires root like greenify and xposed instaler will work...
thanks to @zxz0O0 for the tool to create this pre-rooted firmware and @[NUT] for his recovery to flash this flashable zip
Note:-to resolve the problem because of sony RIC, download SonyRICdefeat from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141 and just extract and run the install.bat file...
-backup your system before flashing to keep your data safe
This is great sir but I think It would be better even easier for noob like me if you will provide us tutorial or maybe link of how to downgrade and root 4.4.2(confirmed to work) before going to 4.4.3..thanks in advance

You just need to use flashtool to downgrade, and root with roottoolkit from the cross development section and then isntalling a recovery
is it really difficult just to hit the thanks button, hmm?

It might mean that flashing failed.
In my experience, installation of prerooted image for D5316 from CWM recovery does not go well. It aborts after "Verifying update package".
Something is missing.

it´s working on 5306 Telcel Mexico
Tnx a Lot

For those on the D5316 variant does it show 4.4.2? What about the other variants? I thought this was a 4.4.3 based ROM? Just asking, not really a big deal!

[Kernel][Root] Stock Nougat kernel patched with DM-Verity, DRM Fix (Single sim)

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share stock nougat kernel(32.3.A.0.372 Customized IN) patched which has DM-Verity, DRM fix and can be used to root. I have successfully rooted my device using the steps explained by @serajr here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70595975&postcount=1702
Currently there is no way to get TWRP and disable Sony RIC.
For TWRP, use below fast boot command to boot temporarily and do whatever you want.
For disabling Sony RIC and get write access to system, use root explorer or any other apps which is similar, and edit the follow file /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable to '0' when you want to modify any system files or folders.
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.
Steps To root device:
1) Boot any stock patched kernel (boot.img) with TWRP from Marshmallow or Zach's kernel using following fast boot command and access TWRP while booting using Volume Up button.
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
2) Flash attached zip
3) Flash latest supersu zip
4) Turn off, and boot your device normally
Hope this helps someone.
Please say thanks if this helped you.
Thank you.

@tobias.waldvogel, for his amazing tool.
Can you please do the same for the Dual Sim one (E6533)? I can provide you with the kernel if you want

Thanks.
Have just one question. Do we install 32.3.0.A.372 (nougat) using flashtool, or is there a flashable zip for twrp?!
I'm presently rooted with twrp on stock marshmallow.

You have to download nougat firmware from xperiafirm, and flash using flashtool. There is no flashable zip for sony stock firmware.

Glad you were able to patch yourself

Cannot boot MM Kernel using fastboot command. Also tried flashing but doesnt work
FYI
I'm Using Single-Sim Version of the kernel "Z4_Z3P_SK_Permissive_v5.11_III.2_4_7_ctl_X_iv y"
Also using Flashtool 0.9.23.2
I'm on 32.3.A.0.372, Updated via OTA on phone. After Flashing 32.2.A.5.11 from xperifirm
Bootloader still reports UNLOCKED
Please Help
UPDATE: Just had to Disable Xperia MyProtection. It got activated by itself after OTA
I try it but my phone not root, open superus show notification "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". Please Help
DRM fix doesn't work. XReality (among other things I assume) are ever disabled.
On Marshmallow DRM fix was working fine (was using XReality engine despite the unlocked bootloader)

Bootloop after unlocking bootloader. Installed CWM. Is installing the 4.3 necessary?

As I mentioned I encountered a bootloop after unlocking the bootloader(thanks for telling me that sony).
I read this thread about bootloops.
After that I installed This cwm version.
Now the above thread mentioned to install 4.3 again to recover from the bootloop. But I want to install the nougat rom, so is it necessary to install the 4.3 rom or can I directly skip to the nougat rom ?

If you are currently on 4.3, then you can directly flash nougat. Otherwise you need to flash 4.3 first.

Yes, I have 4.3. So I just download nougat ROM and install it with CWM ? No need for 4.3 again?
Also how to transfer data to sd card. I can't access it with pc.
Regarding sd card issue, well you have to solve it bh yourself

This guide was meant for Oreo. So if your on nougat you would need stock recovery and stock boot.img.

Return to stock but keep TWRP?

Hi all,
Is there a way to return to stock rom but with TWRP still intact?
The only way I've read of getting back to stock is by flashing using the flashtool, but surely this would overwrite twrp?
Cheers
U can use pre rooted firmware. This tool is great https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

Yes .U can always unroot. SuperSu got this option in it. For Magisk - flash magisk uninstall zip.
Does anyone have a link to any stock based 5.1.1 ROMs which are flashable through twrp please?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867
You can download ftf from https://mega.nz/#!TBBXBaCa!haqmO0eoPRyL5Gnwih-6Cm0ZHJpq_pVc8enXr0oyw3E
It's latest 5.1.1 i used for my beginners guide
