My relative abroad gave me a tablet as a gift.

When it arrived, I noticed it has a password, so I reset it via recovery mode.

I forgot that Android 5.1 and above has FTP, so I'm stuck in "Verifying account" screen.

Here are some details about the tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016)

Model: SM-T280NZKAXAC (Canada)

7'' display size

Android 5.1 Lolipop

1.3GHz Quad-Core

4,000 MAh Li-on battery

1.5 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM

Please help me, thanks in advance

(I'm not fluent in English, I hope you can understand it)
[General Questions and Answers] Pluviam:
FTP means "file transfer protocol". I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant. Are you referring to Google's account verification which appears after reseting it via the recovery in order to prevent theft: FRP?

If you are referring to FRP, a quick Google search reveals this video: [youtube]DJ8_qbj1DPQ[/youtube]
[General Questions and Answers] Fighta:
Oh yeah, thats what I was meant to say, sorry about that :D

Do you know how to bypass it on my device? I've tried reinstalling the firmware and those so-called frp removers, but it didn't work...
[General Questions and Answers] Pluviam:
I'm not sure, then. You could Google it or use the XDA search tool.

but for me I have a sm-t580 tablet I did a hard reset on & after flashing with oden all i ever get is just the welcome screen & wifi-agreement & lastly a screen asking me to log in to google which i cannot do & i get a 24 hour message but I might have tried logging in to google in the 20th hour instead of after exactly 24 hours- anyway what else can I do to use this tablet---when i plug in mini usb cable I see my Tab A 6 (2016) I can add any files to the tablet per my PC. But I'm yet to see a colorful screen with pre installed apps- HELP--- I was told that TWRP might help but I am unsure If & how to use. I used oden & clicked 'Ap' slot-passed--

can't see or find-get to home screen or any files or folder without my PC being hooked up to it. it is like the home screen & the pre installed app are hidden or not there-Help!

I don't know your language sir, but as per google I believe you typed " So it's good news."

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] evilicious_evil:
I joined this forum to thank you very much. This not only works but restored my camera app which was crashing to launcher last time I attempted to root in MM. It caused the camera app to freeze and crash out even after with software repair and Sony said to send it back then said they didn't want to fix it because I unlocked the bootloader. (Camera worked in other apps etc.)

So not only do I now have root on Nougat but my camera app works too. You're brilliant!

Actually not quite:

fastboot flash recovery twrp3.1.img

That should do it. =)

im stuck with downgrade step. im new to xperia and really want to root my device but im nougat now due to system update. kindly give steps on how to downgrade. so i can backup my drm keys.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] jhendsantos:
Thanks alot sir!!

honestly im so excited to root thats why i never even bother to read carefully..

to make story short.. i manage to unblocked BT (w/o downgrading and backing up DRM keys) so lesson learned.. :D

then tried flashing your ( image boot_su_34.2.A.2.47.IMG ) to have root and drmfix as well so everything is okay until i tried to play my favorite game MObile legends and try to use PS3 controller using six axis. ( this is the main reason why i unlook and root) but i failed. so i started thinking maybe i made it all wrong. so i tried to go back unroot and relock using videos and guides online and ending up with a dead xperia x :D ten i managed to solved it by relocking first and software repair via sony companion and every thing is okay except the camera..

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

now i want MM and drm fix.. question is can i flash your ( image boot_su_34.2.A.2.47.IMG) on MM??

the reason i want MM is that i think its compatible with the game and for me to use ps3 controller

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

or if not can you make a kernel for MM with DRM fix? please :o
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] jhendsantos:
sorry sir i have alot of questions i really wanted to fix my phone. so i will follow all the steps you said but upon installing flashtool and drivers i cant seem to find this (sony Xperia X motherboard drivers (sa0107) ) in the list. i dont want to skip this since i don want to encounter any problems again the way i did last time. Will it be okay to skip this?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

...................................

Seems like you have a Full Plate of Experiences with your Xperia X :)

1. once unlocked, i highly recommend not to re lock the boot loader unless you are selling your device

2. If at any point xperia X is bricked, holding POWER+VOLUME UP key for

-----(a) five seconds will REBOOT the device after 1 JERK

------(b) Fifteen secons will JERK your device THRICE and on second jerk, YOU MUST remove your fingers from power+volumeUP keys and it will make your device SHUTDOWN so that you can reconnect it in FLASHMODE and do the magic again

3. I don't have knowledge about connecting PS3 to XPERIAS but SONY cannot release Android N without checking compatibility of already sold SP3.... so what i can suggest is to find approperiate app on playstore to connect with Ps3 and/or google more on this subject

4. keep your TA IMAGE INTACT / saved / email yourself / back it up on cloud for future use.

5. for you i have created SIMILAR KERNAL for android 6.01 BUILD 34.0.A.1.264 , having superSU

6. using flashtool perform CLEAN flash and send the kernel to your device.

7. I am giving you original STOCK KERNEL SIN file "original_stock_kernel_F5122_34.0.A.1.264.sin" if the modified kernel gives you bootloops OR you have bricked F5122 atleast you dont have to reflash everything. just flash the kernel in fastbootmode and you device will wakeup

WOW!! many thanks sir!! will keep this kernel for sure!!

about TA IMAGE -- its DRM keys right i think i lost it already since i unlock BL w/o downgrading to MM and backing it up.:laugh:

i unlocked BL again via official way= camera works

flash twrp via minimal adb (to root and flash rom) first boot is as far as i remember it went well, tried to boot to twrp again and was prompted to install TWRP APPS (since i dont understand that) i install and reboot but this time my device wont boot it shows sony logo twice and then this warning : YOUR DEVICE IS CORRUPTED AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED. AND MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY... PRESS POWER TO BOOT but upon pressing power device wont boot

--what seems to be the problem??

--tried to boot to twrp again and wipe dalvik/cache/ = same error

--tried to reflash recovery.img via minimal adb = same error

by the way im a MISS :D
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
1. you need recovery only when you want to flash superSU ,

2. since the kernel i have given in previous post and in the OT have SuperSU flashed, then you don''t need recovery.

please tell me when you flashed twrp,

1. why? for what purpose

2. did you flash the modified kernel also? (before flashing twrp)

3. if you did not flash modified kernel and have flashed twrp and via twrp you have flashed supersu... this means you put recovery on stock kernel and modified /SYSTEM

4. such action will always give you bootloops or "your device is corrupt... error" becuase DM VARITY is active in the stock kernel

simply flash the kernel i provided (having supersu) and wake you device up ROOTED.

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleeper994:
Im new user of Xperia X, can anyone please explain me what are drm keys for, and what will go wrong in case i dont back them up before rooting my device? Thank you in advance
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
DRM keys are unique to your device and stored on your TA partition. If you unlock your bootloader, they are wiped and they will not be restored if you relock. As a result, some camera functions will be impaired (e.g. photos taken in darkish conditions will be noisy) as well as X-reality (image enhancement). You can backup your own TA by making use of the dirty cow vulnerability in marshmallow. This​ allows you to restore your phone to its original state if you want to go back to stock. In addition you can use your TA to modify your kernel to make your unlocked phone think its drm keys are still intact.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sangbb:
Hi, Does it apply the F5121?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sleeper994:
So, basically I can backup drm keys, root my phone, restore keys, and all functions would be stock-like while phone is still rooted?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
Nope, restoring your TA will lock your bootloader and therefore unroot. But you can modify your kernel to make your phone think the DRM keys are still there. Check e.g. https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893

Edit: It actually will not allow booting since the system or the boot partition were modified.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
no it does not! send me your kernel.sin file

i will modify for you

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
One question though, because I never got this opportunity.

If I flash a custom kernel to root the device can my device still pass the Safety Net test, use Android Pay and all the other jazz that typically requires an untinkered device?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Th3 Ant:
No... Unless ROM has some mods to pass it (afaik)
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
So even with Magisk I'm SOL?

Jesus Sony....

Relax with your rooting paranoia.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Th3 Ant:
It's not Sony's fault... SafetyNet is Google service.

But using Magisk while still on stock should work - but if you'd actually install custom ROM (LinageOS, OmniRom etc.) then you'll have problems with it...
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Glassed Silver:
I know about that and I don't desire a custom ROM, just the custom kernel and that only for Magisk.

And yes it is Sony's fault that they require a custom kernel for root. Not stoked about more low level custom anything.

So... Custom kernel only, stock ROM, Magisk. Is that a pass?

Looking into ggow's kernel as soon as he can work on the Oreo version, because he already gained my trust with his work on the Custom ROM for the 2015 Fire tablet.

I have a question. I've just rooted my xperia and now it has download the oreo update what will happen if I install this update? Will my phone stop being rooted? Thanks
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sebasrock156:
EMMC Memory (Internal) will be erased (I think so, I don't flash my Xperia X since June of 2017, but yes my another Xperia phones...), you can Install TWRP again and choose between Magisk or SuperSU for rooting the phone again.

So, yep, your phone losing the root after to flash it to Oreo, but, you could recover it. ;)

My first try results a bootloop.

So I flashed it back to stock then installed all over again.

Flash DRM fix & Magisk, reboot.

If there's no root or Magisk, just install Magisk apk.

Install Magisk 15.3 within the Magisk manager.

安裝 Magisk manager, 再按 安裝, 重新安裝 Magisk

Every time i flash the twrp img it only boots into recovery and shows internal memory having 0 MB and when i flash the clean img it does not boot. What do i do i need the drm fix

I flashed using fastboot mode in flashtool

I flashed using fastboot mode in flashtool
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
FLASH TWRP using adb command prompt window in fastboot mode

1. connect device in fastboot and check connection (keep flashtool closed)

2. type fastboot devices (enter) , it will show device

3. assuming twrp image on desktop (rename it to something simple like twrp.img) , on adb window type "fastboot flash recovery " and drag twrp.img from desktop to command window & press enter, it will flash recovery.

now try
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
ignore

1. internel memory / storage 0mb

2. ingore if it ask password

3. click back (navbar) when twrp asks for p/w, it will come to home screen, CLICK keep system to readonly. and select storage (SDCARD) or flashdrive (via OTG)

the reason you are getting internel storage error is because , there is OFFICIAL twrp for project SUZU F5122 / 21 and twrp is no capable of removing sony encryption!

you are only going to patch magisk on boot / kernel level so you don't need internal storage! it will flash, also the drm fix is on kernel level and has nothing to do with internal storage

BUT

if you kept your files in internal storage to flash via twrp! that was a mistake!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
yes you can try!

however remember supersu is no longer being developed! its abandoned after june2017

so i have my reservations
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] supermax3:
this method need unlock bootloader?

Hello!

Because I have already TWRP and unlocked bootloader, (Im coming from custom 7.0 nougat). I dont want to mess with flashtool and such since my port is kinda damaged and things may end up bad.

So, I was thinking.. there is no flashable 8.0 zip right now.

What if I use this guide: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849867 to turn the 8.0 .ftf to a .zip and follow these steps:

1.Wipe everything

2. Flash the zip

3.reboot

4. Flash your kernel

5.Flash magisk

Will there be any trouble?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
Well I just flashed a converted .ftf to flashable .zip file oreo and it looks like it bricked my phone so much that it cant get past the bootloader warning message (I cant even enter TWRP) so risking flashtool is a must now. Any idea why this happened? I used a different tool here in xda and I checker bootloader
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
1. if you have flashed OREO FTF of one variant and flash oreo kernel of other variant, PHONE will boot but will go in to bootlops or hung on logo

2. if the fone isn't booting then you are flashing oreo kernel over nougat ftf?

by the way you can always flash original kernel.sin from flashtool if anything goes wrong

no need to flash all the partitions
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
this process is back from 2012 and died with jellybean

it cannot be done since lollypop

dont try! the prf created zip file will brick your fone if you tried flashing via twrp

and what are trying to achieve ?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
omg i was late in replying!

press the volume up and power keys until device JERKS 3 times , and release buttons immeidately

the device will shut down

now flash ftf via flashtool (old school method) and brink back you device to life!

hello

it will be possible this root with supersu.img file ? much simpler
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
Hello!, I managed to install Oreo with flash tool and it works now. `what Are you trying to achieve` I wanted to flash Oreo from recovery because my port is semi broken. I have.to tilt the cord in a certain Way to connect it to the computer... But I managed to do it. Also. I used a newer tool I found not this that I posted it was from 2014 or smth. You think that's dead too?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
superSU is terminated since may2017

so I guess it may not work better on oreo

magisk is the only way!

however magisk uses phh's superUser.

https://superuser.phh.me/

you can download the latest beta (superuser-r310-beta.zip	) and flash it via twrp

it should work!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
the problem is not the other ways! the issue is flashing kernel having securities OFF, which cannot be achieved while flashing the sony stockrom!

you can however always switch to OMNIROM

1. flash twrp

2. flash omnirom 7.1 or 8.1 zip file (should be in your sdcard)

3. flash GAPPS (google apps- find the correct version and collection on google)

4. flash supersu or superuser-r310-beta.ziz

and your device will wake up rooted

you won't have to use flashtool or anyother tool , BUT you will be giving up on SONY STOCKROM,

to flash sony roms, there is a script that must be followed (fsc script) is a keylogger! if that script is missing you cannot flash device!

over the years its SONY's policy to PROTECT their device as much as possible by making processes so complicated that user either

1. forget about rooting

2. even purchase other device and abandon xperia (they don't seem to care)

in my opinion SONY is the APPLE of Android world which actually hates when user tries to take control of his purchased Xperia!

the DRMKEYS saga is ENOUGH to prove my point!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FoxTheLegend:
I see.. That is too bad. So I'm guessing the process you guys make flash able zips is quite complicated?

I used to think that Sony supported developers more than other companies. I had read it somewhere. Maybe back In the day when you could just gain root with towelroot and nothing else
