I've got the same issue on an F3111

No sim card detected, IMEI is null & baseband is unknown

Looking it up seems the solution would just be to flash the modem/baseband, however I can't seem to find the appropriate files (they aren't in the ftf files from xperifirm that I can see)

Anybody have any idea, or did I miss something?

Thanks!

UPDATE

I flashed the boot_delivery.xml file for my nougat version 33.3.A.1.97, and now it works.

Not really sure what's going on here or if flashing a marshmallow boot_delivery.xml was actually needed in the first place
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] ignassew:
It took me some time to follow your tutorials, but i finally did it! To anyone that may be struggling with Xperifirm opening: You will need to download Xperifirm manually, download the package, then in Flashtool go to Tools>Bundles>Create and create the ftf bundle. Also if you can't find your device (I couldn't), download this repository: https://github.com/Androxyde/devices, and insert missing folders into devices folder in User>.flashTool

Is ANYONE can Respondes if Sony XA ULTRA F3212 Nougat Version somebody have successfully Rooted???????????? Let Me Know AND SHARE TO OTHERS...........Please Thanks.........Its TOO LONG TIME to Know About Rooting To My Device F3212 Status...........
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Redaki:
Don't know if anyone still using XA dual but i will just confirming the guide is perfectly fine at 2021, every firmware, img files or magisk xposed blabla is up to dated version. Downgraded from N to MM to backup drm and then go to N again for this root guide.

Respect the man here.

I have installed Magisk 26.1 and there is no download button. What shall I do?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, on single or dual sim? Don't worry about "failed to decrypt" the error is because Data partition is encrypted, I tried with unencrypted and encrypted partition without problem but after factory reseting the device.

Can you flash the stock boot, backup files to your computer and try again but with a factory reset or format Data in TWRP?

Before rooting, you used SuperSu on Marshmallow?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Hi, like said by [MENTION=8342709]sumitha shankar[/MENTION] try to remove .img at the end of boot and recovery if your computer is not set to show file extensions. Or if you didn't do it, rename the downloaded files.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitha shankar:
Current Firmware 33.3.A.0.133, dual sim f3116. I didn't use superuser in MM this is the first time rooting sony device.

Usually how long it will take to bootup. I didnt fotmat data partition, just installed magisk from twrp straight away.

2.Why we need to flah with MM boot_delivery.xml"?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
OK thank you for the answers. It takes less than 30 minutes for sure :) As said before, backup your phone and try again after factory reset or formated Data, reboot to Android one time before flashing Magisk.zip (it will takes up to 10 minutes to boot).

2. You need to flash this file to be able to flash recovery you can try without it to see what happens if you want ;) I don't know if it's a new security or a bug in the preloader.

TWRP 3.1.1

Hi,

Is it possible through TWRP and adb to copy particular phone partition (block device ) directly to computer ( device dm-0), especially adopted storage partition which is decrypted ?

regards,
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaminxa:
DONE ROOTED. Data partion must be formatted as 15.1 step. If not there will be a stuck on xperia logo. So install magisk and format data partion before turn on the phone. Thank you very much rrvuhpg

[MENTION=1461342]rrvuhpg[/MENTION] i successfully rooted so now you can say it works on f3113 witch is single sim
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Thank you for your feedback, I will update the guide.

You probably did it with unencrypted Data partition?

I tried again with encrypted partition and got bootloop, on first try my partition was probably already unencrypted :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] jbenitez821:
yea i unencrypted first because i like the faster boot times
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrzej_Andrzej:
Hi,

When I formatted data partition on Marshmallow and your TWRP previously do I need to format data partition again after flashing Nougat ? :)
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Yes you right, and in a near futur I will add F2FS filesystem to boot even faster :D

I edited the guide to avoid bootloop.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
No if your partition is already unencrypted it should work fine
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitha shankar:

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitha shankar:

[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] jbenitez821:

(Only way but will erase everything, but faster boot times which I like)

Great. It is possible to flash supersu instead of magisk
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Probably yes, but not sure that SuperSu will pass SafetyNet check. You can try and feedback.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitha shankar:
Yes i have tried that.

I flashed with twrp successfully.

After that i open the super user in app drawer it promt to update binary by giving two options one is for normal and 2nd with twrp/cwm

I choose twrp suddenly by device gone dead. It not even turning on or vibrate or bootibg up,

Then i flashed the firmware with xperifm. Now it came back with stock nougat.

Some apps doesnt get root permision with magisk. Thats why i ask for superuser.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrzej_Andrzej:
Hi,

what is the correct sequence of events ?

Should I first format data partition or flash Nougat with flashtool ?
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] rrvuhpg:
Flash Nougat first but don't boot to it after if your Data partition is already unencrypted, follow the guide and you can skip format data step. This step is required only on encrypted Data partition.

Unlocking the bootloader breaks OTA updates, it's not new and not only on XA ;) In Flashtool 0.9.23.2 you only have to check all boxes on the bottom right to exclude all TA related partitions, you must download firmwares from Xperifirm and use fsc script when asked.

Hi i think i was following an earlier tutorial which used SuperSU but now i've been redirected to this instead so

I'm trying to root my xperia XA F3115

I didn't do step 6 the first time round because it wasn't in the original guide i was following so i when i got to step 9 i was able to flash the boot.img but the recovery.img gave me an ERRROR : partition doesn't exist.

Now i don't know how to go back and my phone is stuck on the xperia logo.

I've downloaded the latest firmware for my phone in flashtool but i don't know how to get an earlier marshmallow firmware and i don't know how to put the original firmware back on.

I know i sound like a complete noob and thats because I am, but i was able to flash my last phone no problem, but completely stuck on this one.

So everything is OK up to installing Magisk, (flash boot delivery from MM, then fastboot kernel and recovery, then reboot phone all is OK, then when you flash Magisk the phone won't boot anymore)? If that's the case, I can only guess wrong version of something, (twrp, etc...)
