what you DID

1. lock the BOOTLOADER and seems like

2. TA.IMG was not property Reinstated

3. when as such happens! the device verification fails and device keep shutting down in 5 seconds whenever you boot

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW

1. in flashtool click BLU button and unlock the bootloader again! so that

2. you can flash firmware and/or Kernels!

why errors?

1. when boot is locked you cannot flash kernel, it will give you error
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] nitro32:
Sounds reasonable. Just to be clear, though, I didn't intentionally lock the bootloader, just re-wrote the TA partition using dd as mentioned in that post I linked to. Seems to have had the exact same effect as re-locking the bootloader, though.

Non-root basically isn't an option for me, so I've already gone through the official unlock process again and now I'm back to where I was before starting this process. Do you have any particular suggestions on how I can restore my TA partition and/or DRM keys from this point, with an unlocked blootloader and your root kernel applied? or should I lock again and then using flashtool BLU to unlock vs. the official fastboot oem unlock method?

Appreciate the feedback.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
I will relock my Bootloader only when i will have to sell the device out!

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] nitro32:
Yeah, I actually read through that post several times and did almost exactly what it described in that last section. After writing the TA partition with dd:

1. If I don't re-flash stock with flashtool, the phone won't boot due to a verification failure

2. After I re-flash the stock firmware, I lose both root (stock kernel is applied) and TWRP (stock recovery is applied)

So, that leaves me in the same situation I initially reported. That guide was written for the XZ, though, so maybe there's some difference in behavior between that and the X?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
If you restore your TA, your bootloader is immediately locked. Remember that unlocking changes the TA partition and results in loosing the drm keys. Hence restoring the TA means that you revert this. With a locked bootloader, only a stock rom can boot.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] nitro32:
Thanks, M1chiel. That makes sense. One more follow-up, if you don't mind: does that mean there's basically no point to having a TA backup unless I want to return to a completely stock, locked, and unrooted state? Ie., there's no way to have my original TA partition + DRM keys installed AND have root?

If so, that's fine - I don't plan on doing anything involving DRM anyway. Was mostly trying to do this to be as "complete" as possible. Just want to make sure I understand the situation.
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] M1chiel:
I think your conclusion is correct for the Xperia X. For older devices (e.g. the Z3c) it was posible to run rooted stock based roms without an unlocked bootloader, but this is not possible anymore.

Issues with sound flash

Hi, I followed the instruction and got my Sony F5122 rooted. I'm delighted with the result :):). Unfortunately, after replacing

mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml

(without backup, how dumb of me :() the speaker sound becomes distorted, even at 50% volume.

Could anyone please help me by uploading the original

the twrp image is given in the OT ! simply flash it via adb

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

then remove usb and press and hold power + volume down button untill you see twrp screen

Is VoLTE and VoWifi works on rooted phone by this modified kernel?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] treier57lol:
This guide is amazing!

Just got into Xperia phones, this guide helped a lot and was easy to understand. Just a few grammatical errors and the guide is not overall for complete noobs but other than that it's great!
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
well honestly i am living in a country where network will yet have to offer Volte... and my region don't have that settings.

however

assuming these fall under "MOBILE and NETWORKS" (GSM/WIFI/LTE/) etc, the Modified kernel is not altered to change these settings. its mainly modified to obtain root access by switching off DM Varity / Switching off SONY RIC and patching DRM FIX

so I think you should be OKAY for VOLTE and VOWIFI
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
thank you very much :)

yes I agree, I typed this guide as if I was chatting on WhatsApp

I am sorry for the Grammatical mistakes :)

please do let me know if you need any further help, I will be Glad to assist you :)

you may join the whatsApp group given in the OT

welcome to the SONY WORLD ;)
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
now this could be for numerous reasons

1. how sure are you that ADB has flashed RECOVERY ?

2. Driver or cable fault and recover was never flashed

3. did you try twrp3.0.2 ? (SUZU) (altough twrp 3.0.2 is NOT recommend since it will always give your decryption error

4. give me your device details and I can flash SU embedded kernel for u (send me kernel.sin file)
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aaskereija:
because i did that more than thousand times at least on 10 different sony smartphones so i think i know if i doing something wrong or right. So i'm sure after i tried it 10 times with different versions that i cant use twrp on stock. But its not necessary anymore since i figured out how to delete the encryption for custom-roms and i'm using Paranoid Android for now. I found some ways to get around

Hey folks,

I got a new XX F5121, Firmware 34.3.A.0.252 with Android 7.1.1 and would like to root.

My question is:

Do i actually need to downgrade to MM and save the DRM-Keys if i flash, since this contains the DRMFis anyway?

If yes, is the method described by post #7 still the way to go and will it provide an image or do i need to get an MM stock image from somewhere else?

Thanks for your help

Edit got the answer from another thread: The keys are still important incase there will be no DRMFIX in the future
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
use xperifirm (under flashtool) to download MM

see the attached images, once you download MM, close xperifirm and FLASHTOOL will automatically make ftf for you to flash!

[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] para g:
I did it! Got the Keys, rooted and reupgraded. Was easier than i thought.

However, after i had flashed F5121_34.3.A.0.252_CLEAN.img and TWRP, installing SuperSu alongside other zips produced an error and soft bricked my device :eek:. In the second try i installed SuperSu only at first and booted to check whether it works. All was fine. I don't know whether this is how you should do it anyways or whether it was a random failure.

Thanks for the awesome guide! :good:
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:

Doubt

Hello Friend. I have a doubt. This preceding to root the Phone does not allow you to uninstall factory apps on Android n34. 3.a.0.252?

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

It is normal that when I turn on the Phone I get a message in red letters where it says that having unlocked the bootloader is in risk
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
See my comment below in red

yes its perfectly normal
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
1. you need to give rw access to /system, see my opening thread post, i have explained

2. its normal, don't worry

3. question, what about your drmkeys?
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Th3 Ant:
Quick question - there is no way of rooting without wipes, right?

I've already rooted all of my Xperias but just with bootloader unlocking and flashing recoveries...

This time I just want the root alone without BL unlock and all that wipes (for now).

I am on 34.3.A.0.244 with November 1, 2017 patches (yes, my carrier is slow at serving those...)
[Sony Xperia X Guides, News, & Discussion] YasuHamed:
there is NO way to root xperia X without BOOTLOADER unlocking!

and hence wiping of /internalstorage /appsdata and TA PARITIONS (the most important) is inevitable

you must first downgrade to android6

then run DIRTYCOW xploit to extract F5122 or F5121_TA_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.img file (size 2mb)

this is your DRM KEYS data!

then upgrade to android 7 , 34.3.A.0.244 or 34.3.A.0.252 6dec17 build)

then you MUST unlockyour bootloader , it will wipe your TA partition but you have your ta.img extracted

on every boot you will start getting 5 second warning "this device is unlocked hence no longer be trusted" , you cannot avoid this !

now you must flash custom kernel having dm varity, sony RIC and Encryption SWITCHED OFF,

and flash twrp and boot it to twrp to flash SuperSU or MAGISK

wipe cache and when you restart your mobile! your device will be rooted!

What is XOSP and how was it born?

XOSP stands for the Xperia Open Source Project. The project was initially created by me [MENTION=4968383]nilac[/MENTION]) for the Galaxy S+ (my old device) years ago. Back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.

S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there I rebranded and XOSP project was founded. I worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on my Galaxy S+ (Which I maintained xosp for at the time) I decided to take a break from development until I got my hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then I started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

What Represents a Release and what represents a Revision?

Revisions include small changes such as bug fixes/improvments etc.. (Usually there are made like 3 revisions per-release).

Releases are the main "stable" builds with all new planned features implemented and bugs fixed.

You can find all the included features right:

You can find the list of current issues in the ROM right:
