Ok I started all over again and I noticed I didn't follow the procedure first time.

So I excluded the FOTA kernel but whatever else I check no full wipe is done, I can always see the previous installed apps, it does not matter if I check Cust-reset, master-reset or reset-wipe-reason, the system is not wiped.

So that's my first problem, how to wipe the previous install.

Flashing the rom seems to be OK, same thing for flashing boot_oreo.img and twrp-3.1.1-0-dora.img.

I'm not sure about twrp 3.2.0.0 because this version is off-line now, so I tried with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and 3.2.1.0 but they all gave me the same result.

Problems start when I have to flash drmfix.zip, safety-net cleaner or magisk 15.2. The procedure tells me the flash is ok but have a look at thet attached images, I get errors while flashing. One picture for drmfix, one for safety-net-cleaner and one for magisk 15.2

After flashing all of this I can boot successfully but when I try to get root in ES File Explorer pro, it does not work. When I go into Magisk and try the afety-net check I get ctsProfile false and basicIntegrity False.

So the rom does work but I do not get root.

I tried all of this with the Italian rom 41.3.A.2.24.R1E ? I can start all over again with the UK version 41.3.A.2.24.R2E but I do not know if this makes any sense.

So can anybody tell me what to do to get it all going?

This seems fluffy and great but where is the FTF file? Where is the Kernel File?

[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoffl_:
!

Also if you're on F8132 don't forgot about 3.)

in your possibly multiple attempts of flashing..like I did. :p It's not optional and I only did so on my first attempt.

Just realized after setting everything up nicely that It's only showing 32gb internal storage. Well back to the start!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoffl_:
Any chance you have a ‎F8132 or did boot up the device once after flashing stock image ?

I just ran into your issue...I think it's related to booting up the phone after flashing and going through the setup steps.

Had to

fastboot format userdata

and

fastboot flash boot boot.img

To fix the "cannot mount storage" error in twrp.

Then I could successfully flash drmfix/safetynet/magisk and everythings working now.

Also don't setup any security features when you do bootup to check storage or you'll run into the problem where TWRP requests a password and then you'll also have to start from scratch. Just formatting userdata from fastboot didn't really fix it, yeah I could flash the ZIPs but then I'd run into problems when going through the Android setup wizard.

tl;dr I didn't have those issues yesterday where I ended up with only 32gb of internal storage so it's gotta be related to booting the Rom after flashing.

*edit*

mhm also ran into issues with security settings, app would crash when trying to setup fingerprint and screen security. Had to factory reset and reflash magisk.

Maybe there should be a cache/user data wipe at some point during the rooting steps ?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] nickcaper:
First let me say NO.. it didnt work, I have the F8132 dual.

Second,, If you are going to provide a tutorial to root the device with factory kernel, maybe you need to provide teh factory kernel and all the required tools. It seems 99% of this forum loves to posts things and does not offer the required tools and files. What happens is, people get a bricked device and no way to repair it.

This in itself is one big reason why rooting has become a very unpopular thing these days,

Aint no body got time to be reading all day on how to do one simple thing that someone said on pag 125 of some post in some random subject.

In my ipinion, and my opinion DOES count, cause i have posted tutorials.. I am rather sick and tired of the struggle to simply find the proper methods and tools t root even an old phone. The F8132! In other threads for other devices there are assH**les literally requiring payment to get files whcih root and fix bricked phones,.

I swaer if this bullsh*t dont stop, Iphone will stay at number one and for good reason Cause teh Android scene is turning into a greedy, for profit debochery which i do nto care to invest in.. bye
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoffl_:
Except it does work on the F8132 dual.

Make your own patched kernel/boot image https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74724162&postcount=2793 the kernel.elf can be extracted from kernel.sin with flashtool\tools\sin-editor

twrp download is on the official site: https://dl.twrp.me/dora/

You get the most recent rom download from XPeriFirm which is included in flashtool

https://xdaforums.com/xzs/how-to/tutorial-step-step-guide-to-gain-root-t3612624

(Guide is for the XZ but same rules apply)

Now, as I mentioned in my post above(which you didn't have time to read) there's some issues related to the F8132 dual if you boot it up to check storage size. Skip through everything security related, don't setup fingerprint or pattern or anything...just check if internal storage shows as 64gb.

Then continue according to the OPs guide.

If you completed the guide and successfully booted the rooted ROM and run into issues in the setup wizard, do a factory reset and reflash magisk from recovery.

If at some point you **** up you'll have to go back to the start and reflash the entire rom.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] ajerkdude:
This post is what got me over the hump. I was previously just taking the supplied boot.img and flashing that. The key for me was pulling out the kernel elf using the sin editor, running the rootscript on that to create the boot.img.

Still not perfect, but I am a lot closer.

I am rooted on oreo on my F8131.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] nickcaper:
Here is the thing.. Post a Kernel. Dont post a instruction to make my own kernel. Those instructions are not very good.

Also, this seems to be allot of trouble for a old phone. I appreciate all the efforts but it seems Sony just does not want anyone to buy their products.. Therefore I will not...

[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] Stoffl_:
How about no ?

My post was a general how to and should work on any rom version. Posting a kernel would probably just result in lazy folks like yourself bricking their device by flashing a mismatched kernel/rom version.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75536278&postcount=35

people are so goddamn lazy...links to files see above url

From OP

To flash stock image:

3. Click Xperifirm icon (XF rightmost icon below toolbar), find and download firmware.
4. Tools > Bundle > Create. Select your firmware, choose all content then Create . If it says "a fsc script is found..." click Yes. (I tried choosing no and I cannot flash system partition (system.sin finished with errors).
5. Start devices in flash mode (hold vol. down and connect USB until LED blinking green).
6. Click Flash icon (first one) in Flashmode, select all content from bundle you created then Flash. Again, if it ask to use .fsc script, click Yes. It should finish without error. Full wipe is recommened exclude nothing
7. Done, you can try booting to test if it works.
(F8132 only) boot your phone and finish the boot setup then go to the settings menu and make sure storage is recognized as 64GB and not 32GB

Prepare kernel https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74724162&postcount=2793

Regarding this step:

3. Run rootkernel script with Oreo stock kernel.elf (eg.: rootkernel kernel.elf boot.img)

To get kernel.elf you extract it from kernel.sin with flashtool\tools\sin-editor

Then we're back at the OP's guide

Enter fastboot mode (hold vol up + plug usb)
Flash Kernel	fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flash TWRP	fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-dora.img
Unplug
Boot recovery
flash DRM-fix_System_Mode.zip, SafetyNet Cleaning Tools und Magisk
Boot device
????
Profit!

And incase anyone is wondering yes this also works on 41.3.A.2.99 and with Magisk 16.

Just flashed ROM and newly patched kernel. As expected ran into the usual F8132 related storage size/TWRP can't mount storage issues because the device was booted up.

Just Factory Reset the device and then boot recovery to flash drmfix/safetynet/magisk.

(just formatting userdata via fastboot never really worked for me)

Hi all,

I was able to go through the installation and it went well, it seems. The system is running smoothly and without major problems. The only problem I can see is that the DRM keys appear not to be recovered, as I don't get the KEYS [OK] status, even when I flashed the DRMfix during the installation process.

1) Is there something I can do to fix this?

2) Should I try to do it? What would I be missing if not?
