I want to know how can I root .182 (7.0, F3213)?

I cannot find older version ROM on xperifirm
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] d3nni:
I also would like to know if it's possible to root nougat on Xperia XA (F3111).

Had marshmallow successfully rooted and then switched to nougat. Now i failed twice to root it.

16/041/2017 09:41:05 - INFO - Connected device : Sony Xperia XA

16/041/2017 09:41:05 - INFO - Installed version of busybox : N/A

16/041/2017 09:41:05 - INFO - Android version : 7.0 / kernel version : 3.18.35+ / Platform : 64bits / Build number : 33.3.A.0.131

16/041/2017 09:41:05 - INFO - Root access denied

Installed your kernel "From 33.2.A.4.70 kernel sources and Ramdisk from 33.2.A.4.70 firmware."

Then tryed I to install TWRP, was not working cuz recovery partition does not exist.

After that I was hanging on bootloop.

Any solution to root nougat? Thanks!

Edit: Just seeing it right now....

Do you release it, so I'll don't have to downgrade the phone of my friend again. :( :p
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi,

For now root for Nougat can be done only for the XA Ultra, kernel sources for XA are not available.

You and [MENTION=303482]mingkee[/MENTION] are "senior members" and you don't know that OP love be thanked for their work?

Probably no, because I didn't see you at the bottom of my first post. I will release root for Nougat only if enough people like my work. Should I really add "don't forget to thank me" or a PayPal button like some OP in my root guide :confused: The world goes bad...
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] d3nni:
You are right, if you arnt get paid for your work then at least everyone of us using it could push the thanks button. I fixed the phone for a friend, he got it by his brother and asked me which antivirus to download, so I said to him I'm gonna do what I always do... twrp, magisk, root etc.... but that came harder then thought. I spend whole night, unlocked boot loader.. rooted using your guide.... installed every single shot and then I found the nougat update and since he spoke a lot about android 7, I just installed the update without looking if a root is available. He had the chance that I switch again everything back to marshmallow + root.. or he stay on Android 7 and wait for a root to be released. His has choosen to wait and stay on nougat.

Since this version of nougat isn't that old, we can cross the fingers and hope to see a root for it sometime.

Sir, which version of nougat firmware is supported for this root access? I have 33.b.131 like sometime. Does it support it my rom for root or boot recovery..
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, root files are based on your firmware so no problem to root :good:

When i flash my rom 33.a.0.131 by flashtool 9.23.2, it says flash script not found... I downloaded the firmware from xperiafirm.. Please help to solve my this problem sir.. I CANT FLASH MY NOUGAT FIRMWARE
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
1.You downloaded the firmware after updating Flashtool?

2.You see 0.9.23.2 on the top of the Flashtool window? (no updates available)

3.Flashtool asked to use fsc when you closed Xperifirm and you answered yes?

4.Can you post the Flashtool log?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] shiva1001:
1. Yes. I downloaded it by using 0.9.23.2

2. No updates shows on my flashtool bar sir

3. No it didnt asked me.. I dont know why. As in previous marshmallow. It asked me to use fsc but not now for nougat

5. Ya sure
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] shiva1001:
There are some Screenshots of Flashtool
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Thank you for screenshots, can you try to download the same firmware with an other customization and see if you have the fsc script?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] shiva1001:
I previously Flashed marshmallow rom and it flashed easily with fsc script option but in this i cant find fsc script toggle after downloading or before flashing.. I CANT try other customizations because i dont have a wifi connection so i downloaded the 33.a.0.131 from my friends wifi. My internet is average slow.. So please help with this rom sir.. I hope you understand me and conditions
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Ok I will give you the fsc file and you will add it manually (see attachment), download it and rename it to 33.3.fsc (your computer must be set to show file extentions) and copy it to "C:\Users\YOURSESSION\.flashTool\devices\F31XX", you should see 33.2.fsc in it.

Now try again :) I really dislike this way :(

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
:eek::eek::eek: Very bad luck... No problem for me but as said before we must be careful when flashing files on ou devices.

Just seen that I posted it in the wrong thread, it's for Nougat... But it's not related to your probleme, the zip check the SDK version before flashing and stop if it's not the good one.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] levone1:
I thought I was being careful, but I didn't even realize the possibility of hard brick. I figured soft birck, no problem... Anyway, once again, I probably shouldn't have been so casual. Hopefully I can do something with it.

Well, this phone is really humbling me... Thanks to some suggestions on Xposed thread, I held power and vol- while plugging in, and after about 5 seconds, I got vibration, and a red battery logo, (battery was full charge when it happened). Had to leave it plugged for about 10 more minutes before it would power on, but working now, (no Xposed framework got flashed). I didn't even realize that I thought I knew everything :confused:

I'll just consider myself a noob for now. Thanks for your work.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Yooooomi:
I had the exact same problem from flashing Greece Version in France...

Be sure to download the right firmware on XperiFirm depending on your country. I could also recommend you to downgrade to Android 6 with a proper firmware from XperiFirm too then flash Android N and root it from the new guide from [MENTION=1461342]rrvuhpg[/MENTION]

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] levone1:
I'm using it now. It's linked in this thread, (or the other root thread). Framework is working fine, but not all modules will work. So far, I have Flat Style Colored Bars, Xposed Edge, and Installeropt working.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] shiva1001:
Isnt there any problem with bootloop while flashing it? Or xposed is coming to nougat soon? And if i installed xposed it on nougat, how yo uninstall it then
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] levone1:
Right now it's totally experimental, and you always take a risk flashing any system mod, so it's your responsibility... I believe that there is an Xposed uninstaller zip you can download. I haven't had any bootloops, but I do get a systemui restart at random, (like maybe once or twice a day), but I have many mods, so not sure what to blame it on.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] shiva1001:
I flashed xposed framework successfully but when i installed blurred system ui to change my notification pannel to blured.. It didn't Change a single work or line.. Why is it not working. Blurred system ui was mentioned on working list in xposed purify team :(

If you have this error it's because you are on Nougat so 3 things:

1. Please don't post here, this thread is only for Marshmallow.

2. Follow the link (for XA) given and do ALL steps, if you have a XA Ultra it's here: https://xdaforums.com/xa-ultra/how-to/f32xx-how-to-root-xperia-xa-ultra-noob-t3639729

Started over and got into recovery, (no idea what I did differently), but now issue is internal storage shows 0b size in recovery, (nothing there, not mounted or something). Looking into it...

Did thinks a bit different - Unlocked my bootloader, but did't find a suitable firmware for my mobile provider in Bulgaria trout the flashtool. Never less, I flash ( with bad feeling :o ) the boot.img and the recovery.img, and got my phone into bootloop. For those who got to this stage, here's the fun part - I downloaded the sony flash tool - you can find it in developer.sonymobile.com, connected the phone and it automatically founded an MM customized firmware suitable for me, it download it and installed it. After that I continued to follow this guide, followed the guide how to install Magisk, and everything worked like a charm. Thanks to uploader :D :good:

Hi. I followed your guide to the T on my Xperia XA. The bootloader was unlocked and everything was in place.

Another Bootloop

Ok Sorry, I am the guy that didnt read properly / not at all. No I am stuck with a bootloop. I thought because I had already rooted 2 other phones I would be able to do this one on my own but nope.

Sony Xperia XA F3111 (As far as I remember) (Single SIM for sure)

Android Nugat ( I think)

Unlockable (Checked it)

Ok here is what I did:

1. I followed the guide to unlock the bootloader that sony has on their developer website

-> success

2. Flashed the newest TWRP (fastboot commands)

-> success but couldnt access memory, it asked for a password. Skipped it and rebooted

3. Prepared to flash lineage os but then the bootloop appeared ( boot is untouched)

Current state:

- Able to boot into flash mode

- able to boot into fastboot

- booting to recovery or boot only shows the sony logo (bootloop)

- Unable to boot anything with fastboot boot image.img

Things I already tried:

- Wipe with fastboot -w

-> works but erasing "metadata" fails with "command not allowed"

- Flashing / Booting different recoverys

-> flashes fine, but wont boot / pushes image to device but doesnt boot it

I read this guide but I dont understand how I get the BOOT_DELIVERY.xml

Also the driver installer that is included in Flashtool doesnt have a driver for the Xperia XA (maybe I just didnt see it)

I just installed all drivers that were available, but only a few installed successfully.

My adb and fastboot drivers are the newest version directly from the google developers website (globally executable, cause they're in the path variable)

I think it could be a problem with the encryption, but I dont know.

Thanks in advance and greetings out of quarantine,

Paul
