You can use a MM firmware with a different customization like "Service Exchange Unit" or "Commercial and Journalists"

Hi, sorry for being such a noob, but im confused with this step, do i have to look for a specific firmware or are all the files needed included in the main tutorial?

this is the first time i attempt to root a sony phone (only done it with samsung phones which are way easier than the xperias) and im afraid to brick my phone, i have downloaded all the files in the main tutorial, are they all i need?

thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
download all needed files op said about. install drivers from flashtool dir. if you need marshmallow boot delivery you have to download firmware otherwise a single file will not help you. before starting this process enter both flashmode and fastboot mode with connecting cable to the phone. this will install drivers for only 1 time and it will not give error. otherwise you will have to wait again. and be sure that you are on nougat and you will have to unlock developer options in order to enable OEM unlocking. with out this, bootloader will not unlock it will give you error. its so easy. just be carefull do as he said step by step. read everything in sony page etc. this is not harder than samsung. its just a thing you have to do it 1 by 1 clearly

Hello, I have a problem,

I flash nougat firmware on my Xperia ultra single sim, but now, the phone said there is two sim !!

built 36.0.A.2.182
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
It's not a real problem, if you look at the kernel sources you will see that Sony use unified config file for single and dual sim on Nougat. You have the two sim menu enabled in settings, nothing more.

i can see the image enhancement Option but it wont work

any suggestion ?

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueTR:
If you haven't backed TA up, your keys are gone for good. If you use MM, you can try DRM fix. It makes your phone think TA is ok and everything works fine.

Hi,

You used MM and N firmwares downloaded with Xperifirm?

Are you sure that your bootloader is unlocked?

Are you sure that you use Flashtool 0.9.23.2?

When you flash boot_delivery the log is OK?

When you flash recovery have you an error?

Can you boot to TWRP?

You wiped Data partition?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] balizm:
thanks for your reply:

number 1-5 checked OK

i fail to boot to twrp. device has infinite boot

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
You say that you are on MM but I hope that you updated your phone to Nougat before trying to root :p

Can you give me the Flashtool log when you try to flash boot_delivery?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] balizm:
i was definitely on latest N update when trying to root, when the effort fail i decided to try it on MM, following your other tutorial and it succeed :good::good::good:

now i realize that i don't understand this part:

6. Power off the phone and flash ONLY "BOOT_DELIVERY" from a Marshmallow firmware with Flashtool ( exclude all other partitions), you must only see

"boot_delivery.xml" in the "Content" column.

i found not only boot_delivery.xml in the content column. it was shows with others content and i insist to execute the flashing

my question is: how to sort boot_delivery.xml only on content column? :silly:

Hi. I wanted to know if you could help me with the rooting process for XA Ultra? I'm currently stuck at the part wherein I need to flash the Boot_Delivery.xml using Flashtool. The version I'm using is the updated one, not the 0.9.23.2 version because I can't find it anywhere even with the link. The issue is, when I proceed to the part where I have to search for the directory and I find it, nothing comes out on the list after I click on it. I'm not sure if it's because of the Flashtool version I'm using or what. I could really use your help and it would really be appreciated.

After successfully finishing step 13, I get stuck in a bootloop, it wont reboot to android, I tried every fix I could find: a command on twrp terminal, flashing the recovery again, even deleting the folder "android". I ended up flashing a new firmware, configured Android again and used it as a locked device, then deleted everything in my pc and downloaded it again, redid every step and ended up with the same problem. Help please?

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

I had this problem too.

I opened the x10flasher_lib folder, hold shift and right click, then (in windows 10) there is a option "open PowerShell here".

You have to put .\ before the command to prove that you trust the command, the prompt you tell you that but you can save the time and already type .\fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then it worked. (I found all this on youtube, btw, hope it helps)

after that my cell always restarts after 1 minute of life, I think maybe boot & recovery has not been installed, but after flash recovery and boot the results remain the same

[MENTION=1461342]rrvuhpg[/MENTION] Thank you so much for this guide and your help. I've now rooted a F3211 used by the family, took my time, worked through the guide and success.

One question if I may. It is on Android N and is showing a system software update available. Is it OK to go ahead and let the phone update or now its rooted is there another method involved?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, you can't use OTA updates on a rooted device (not only on XA), if you want to update the device you have to download the firmware with Xperifirm included in Flashtool. Be careful and don't forget to use the fsc script when asked and exclude all TA related partitions. You will have to root it again.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] btb55:
Thank you, thought it would be the case, I know my other rooted devices can't do an OTA update either. I'll ignore for now and think about it the future.

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, please don't quote the full guide if you have to ask something.

Are you sure that you successfully flashed recovery? No error?

For fsc script it's probably because you use an upper version of Flashtool. (it's good too)

And as a reminder don't forget to exclude all TA related partitions on the flash screen of Flashtool to avoid brick.

I try to download another firmware is Marshmallow on the website "https://samsony.net/en/mobiles/F3215/download/1249"]https://samsony.net/en/mobiles/F3215/download/1249. But how can I put this image in flashtool that make me only flush "boot_delivery.xml" into my phone.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] ultramagneto:
I supppose your phone model is F3215, and if not please find the correct firmware.

If your downloaded file is .zip, unzip it to the .ftf format.

Open flashtool and click the lightning button (i suppose your phone driver is ready for flashmode, fastboot and debug)

Browse to the location where you unzip your download.

It should load all the content, now click all exclude boxes until only "boot delivery.xml" left.

click all exclude boxes in TA also.

Flash.
