Hi, I am trying to root my Xperia 10 III but nothing will work. I have tried countless apps with my PC or on the device its self. I have managed to unlock the bootloader but cannot root.
I have followed the thread called "guide unlock bootloader & enable root (magisk)", but I am stuck on step 5...
STEP5 - go in fastboot and enter :
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
Update: I have now rooted

Hi guys,
First post on this forum, so I apologize in advance if this is not the right section. I have an Xperia E phone and I'm following a guide I found on the net to install Cyanogenmod in it. In order to do it, I followed the official Sony guide to unlock the bootloader, they sent me the unlock code and I used fastboot to enter the code into the phone. After that, the phone got stuck in a bootloop and I had to use a program called Flashtool in order to flash the original ROM into the phone again.
Now, when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* on the phone's dial pad and go to "Service info > Configuration", I can see the following message:
Code:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock: Yes
:
The weird thing is every guide I've read on the net about unlocking Xperia devices claim the above message should be "Bootloader unlocked: Yes", so I'm slightly confused (note the difference between "unlock" in the above message and "unlocked"). I guess it is actually unlocked because I was able to use Sony's Flashtool to flash the original ROM, but some clarification on this would be useful since I'm planning to install Cyanogenmod and I wouldn't like to brick the phone by flashing a custom ROM on an unlocked phone.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I finally was able to install CM11 in the phone, so I guess the bootloader was unlocked after all. Now I'm having a couple of issues, but I'll open a new thread for that, since it's a different problem.
Regards.
I tried every possible way to unlock my boot loader.
I used various apps given by xda developers .....
I tried the official app to unlock the boot loader.
Flashed a rooted ZenFone system [downloaded from a link provided by xda]and then write the code to unlock bootloader:-
[adb shell]
[SU]
[getprop ro.isn > /factory/asuskey]
[Reboot bootloader]
Still it did not work......
I have been working on this since a month now and even now I can't figure out what the problem is .
please help me find solution.
Should I reinstall the fastboot mode ?
Pls help
have vibe shot z90a40. android 5.1.1
1.i tried to root with kingroot, kingoroot, iroot etc, didnt work.
2. cannot unlock bootloader. when tried minimal adb and fastboot cannot reach bootloader or start in fastboot. when i use 'adb fastboot-bootloader' it hangs on the logo on restarting.
Although 'adb fastboot recovery' command works.
3, Tried vol down +power. it takes phone to service menu something (0 to 14 0. Board test 1. Current Test 2. RF test etc)
i have enabled developer options OEM UNLOCK AND USB DEBUGGING (maybe oem unlock feature isnt working, i read somewhere)
Actually i am trying to flash with another rom S363 marshmallow (internatinal rom for this phone only).
i want to backup my present rom so i want root and twrp.
i read steps of flashing on the forum WITHOUT UNLOCK i suppose with QFIL.
Dont want to take risk of bricking without unlock.
plz tell me how to unlock bootloader, custom recovery install and root as nothing else works.
please help me.
Hello everyone.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade my G4 from MM to Nougat. I used a guide from xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-upgrade-h815-locked-bootloader-to-t3684945) and it worked flawlessly.
However I want to root my G4 so I can install Xposed and Viper4Android but I have no clue how or if it's even possible to do it without downgrading my android version.
If anyone could link me a good guide or tell me how to do it I'd appreciate it a lot.
Just like in MM you can't root if your bootloader is locked.
Enjoy the N beta for now and just wait steadfasterX to release the unofficial BL unlock method

First unlock Bootloader like in MM. YES its works in Nougat too !
Connect Phone via USB to PC with USB Debuggin in Developer option
In Terminal/ Console:
ADB Devices = Phone was detected
ADB reboot bootloader = Phone boot into Bootloader
FASTBOOT Devices = Phone was detected
FASTBOOT flash recovery twrp3.1.1-1-g4.img
Pull Battery out, put back and bootup Phone, first boot fails but the 2nd boot was okay.
After Phone boots up its in ADB Mode again.
ADB Devices = Phone was detected
ADB reboot recovery = Phone boot into TWRP
In TWRP, install TWRP and SU like you did in MM. Install Root Checker and check the root status, DONE
Finished, rooted Nougat !!
hello, I followed the guide step by step, I flashed the twrp recovery, but when I try to start the recovery mode, "no command" appears with the android symbol. I read online that just press a key combination I have tried many but I have not succeeded, if someone can help me thank him very much

Hi I have the wifi only gt310 and when I go to developer options there is no OEM unlock feature. I can get to recovery though using power and vol up on boot. Im just wondering if I can proceed to flash a new rom or if I need to unlock the bootloader - as I have not been successful with finding those instructions on how to do this
I was able to use adb to see my device but fastboot bootloader restart did not work. It seemed to hang on waiting for device.
You don't need to unlock bootloader on wifi only versions
