I don `t believe. i tested with battery gsam monitor and that is not the problem. super su and root is not the problem either. I think the problem should be the unlocking of the bootloader, but I can not find a solution to this. with unlocked bootloader the battery decrease at night 4% in 8h. but with locked bootloader battery decreasse 1% at night in 8h

Can someone provide stock kernel
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
Will this newer twrp work for the xa1 ultra 3223
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PingHu:
G3125

This might be a really basic question but still wanna make sure before doing anything to my phone (always better to double check than sorry)

Will it also work on XA1(G3125, single sim)? From my understanding, both Kernel and recovery are all based on the CPU model of your device right? And how about ROM? Does it also works for XA1 devices?

Many Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheStrongSkye:
Does this kernel supports g3421 model of Xperia XA1 Plus ?
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
send me your kernel.sin from ftf. i will compile it. for you..
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
if anyone wand to unlock bootloader then please let me know before unlocking. just PM me.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
it should work . give a try.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
Would this twrp and kernel support xa1 ultra
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheStrongSkye:
No, It would not work. There is a difference between XA1 Plus and Ultra
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
Give a try, board is same..
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
Yeah specs are identical except instead of 3gb mem the ultra has 4
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheStrongSkye:
So XA1 will work too, sorry bad look
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DebugJammer:
What method are you think about the TA backup? I currently have a lock bootloader but I don't want to brick my device.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
it's upto you to unlock bootloader, but if you want to unlock then MAY BE we can backup TA partition. i said MAY BE. not confirmed.

after unlocking don't let your device switch on directly put into fastboot mood and flash this kernel. then go to twrp and you can backup your TA partition. NOT SURE it will work or not. but if you want to unlock bootloader then give a try to this method. Because as i know after unlocking when your data get wiped then also TA partition get wiped,

again i say i am NOT SURE if this method will work or not. So try on your own risk if you really want to unlock your bootloader..:good:
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jolly.B:
I have XA1 plus (dual), model G3416. Got Oreo update 8.0.0 few days ago. I want to know will I get future system updates, if I root my phone?

I bought this handset over Samsung because music quality is really very good in Sony, I don't want the sound quality to deteriorate if rooted.

Secondly, if root is possible in this model how do I do it? Never tried to root ever. Please give noob friendly guide.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
if you are worried about sound quality then you can get better sound after rooting your phone. but you will lose your DRM functionality. for rooting just unlock your bootloader by xperia flashtool then flash attached kernel, and flash Magisk Zip..

Kernel for oreo is created but trying to disable forceencryption. or to enable recovery to read lock keys.:crying:
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jolly.B:
I forgot to mention few details earlier- like my kernel version is 4.4.83+ and Build number is 48.1.A.0.129. I wanted to know will i get future system updates and sony apps updates once rooted?
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
No mote OTAs, but you can download latest firmware .ftf and flash anytime....
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jolly.B:
Thanks for the info. Can you please give detailed instruction/guide from unlocking bootloader by xperia flashtool to flashing of attached kernel because I find it very difficult to understand.

+

I have made list of what I don't get :-

1. Xperia flashtool link

2. Kernel for 48.1.A.0.129 Oreo FM is for G3412. Can you please make it for my G3416 dual sim

3. How can I help you test DRM backup (and may be data also after unlocking)

Kindly, help me understand so, I can help you with those drm backup testing. Thank you!
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DebugJammer:
Update! Unlocked my device, but I couldn't back up the TA partition, It refuses to boot or flash any recovery until I restart. Ah well I guess, now to install root! Many thanks :good::good:

[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
Hi everyone, today i flash 8.0 rom via flashtool. finish, i unplug cable, and now device is brick. plug cable, the led blink red, cannot into flash mode or other mode. i remove batterry but not ameliorative.

Who can help me? I'm very upset..
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
you removed battery? it means you opened your mobile.. :(

install PC companion and try by repairing firmware, you will be able to switch into flashmood, if you have unlocked bootloader then you can flash with flashtool or if locked then PC companion will solve this problem..
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
i have unlock bootloader when 7.0. i open device to remove batterry because sometimes the problem is that. i cannot into flash mode, so cannot use flashtool.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

pc companion work with device on adb? my device is off :(

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

where is the problem? :(
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
here is your kernel, check and update if it's working or not.

Download From Mega
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
PC companion can turn your device on in flash mood. but you must have to use flashtool to flash firmware, there is nothing bad with fsc file, i have flashed myself from nougat to oreo and there was no any issue, try again 1st with PC companion,

open PC companion and click on software repair,

1 > on next screen click on "My device cannot be connected or started...." ( at left lower corner)

2 > Then select "Xperia Phone or tablet" and click next.

3 > then check "I know my google account details checkbox .

click next and wait until it will process (You may need internet at this point)

then connect your mobile by pressing vol- button and connect USB.

you will be able to go to flashmood. then open flashtool and install firmware, but make sure you are flashing correct firmware for this device.

There is no any issue in fsc file..

but my device connot into flash mood. i use flashtool. and xperiacompanion i don't have now. :(
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
Download it and try to to same process, surely you will be able to flash, but flash correct firmware related to your device,
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] feelu2018:
Thank you for helping me.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
The same thing happened to my gfs phone red light on anything and PC only read it as USB modem with no drivers or anything no software would read it I ended up returning it
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
I flash correctly firmware. Every things are correct. But i think is fsc. So, your fsc for your device? My device is g3416, 32gb rom. Or your device has differrent storage?

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

I have search, and right, have 64gb rom device. So, that right?

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

But wrong partition is not the problem. Why device cannot into flash mood? I can't know. Tired...
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
Everything is same. 32GB 4GB MT6757,

same thing happened to me when i was trying to remove device unlocked screen or starting of device. Problem is with your bootloader,

Or you have to wait until your battery will be discharge fully,

only 2 steps you can do, in my case i was able to connect into flashmood by PC Companion, and also by discharging battery of my device..

hopefully you will get your device back, but you have to keep calm and keep trying.. :good::good:
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
Hichic. I try every thing you say before ask you here. Xperiacompanion not try yet. I'm sad. I removed batterry for about 20min, but cannot into flash mood. Plug cable led is red. You see where is the problem? I "bó tay"

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

The screen is always black. 3 button not useful. Press power and vol+ about 30-50s, the led is pink. Plug cable led is red. So, i tried remove batterry, but...

Flashtool cannot detect, its mean cannot into flash mood.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

I think i should drop it into garbage. the device was bought the month before. I miss it. ?
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
i know this situation, its hard brick, you just need to keep calm. and try with pc companion, if it does not work then wait for battery to be enough low to turn your device completely off even with battery inserted. don't lose hope. and don't put your mobile on charge for too long. it also happened to me and i know it is recoverable..
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
wait for bettery low its mean i removed baterry...

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

i tried with xperiacompanion, don't work, because cannot enter flash mood, red always red, i don't know where is the problem.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

when not plug cable, red is off, sreen is black, and when plug cable, red is led. that is everyting i see.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
Not sure what happened to your device, but same happened to my device, also i have posted it on XDA in a thread, mobile is total off, when connecting usb only red light turned on immediately, in my case this method worked and it happened more than 2 times.. removing battery is not a solution, if you want to try then try to connect USB without battery, by pressing and holding vol- button. or try to discharge your battery then try,
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ahero123a:
i tried connect cable usb without battery. not work.

I'm thinking I might be doing something wrong.

I have Xperia XA1 Plus (G3412) 48.0.A.1.131 version. I unlocked the bootloader but I just can't get the kernel to work. It seems that Flashtool flashes the kernel correctly (no errors) but I don't have the TWRP recovery or root access. It seems that nothing changes after the flash.

G3112

When i try to flash this File (V2 or V4) to my G3112 it always leads to the phone being stuck on first boot at xperia logo. I flashed "G3112_Customized CH_1308-8618_48.1.A.0.129_R2B" and used the according boot.img files provided but still the phone is stuck. What am i doing wrong?

Btw. hat exactly is the difference between boot.img and v4-boot.img?
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
difference is base firmware, just click on download link and download according to your firmware. but if you are using G3112 then you should search for your device related kernel, this is for G3412.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
you can use TWRP recovery compiled in this kernel, this will work in xa1 ultra also,
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
Great so all I need to do is just flash this on my xa1 ultra 3223 thank you that will make my gf happy as hell lol she's been bugging me everyday lol
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
So the boot.IMG is the kernel and twrp? So I just flash the boot.IMG and it will still boot?
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
not sure, because this kernel is for xa1 plus g3412. if you will use this kernel then may be it will not work correctly. there is specified kernel for xa1 plus with recovery Here...

you can download that.
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wolf45801:
Yeah but the kernel and twrp didn't work when janjan compiled it that's why he said we needed the source code so the kernel probably won't work but the recovery is the same? Is there anyway to do just the recovery

Unfortunately, there are no [TWRP]+[KERNEL]+[ROOT] available for Xperia XA1 Plus Model G3416:(

This thread is for Xperia XA1 Plus Model G3412. As far i know it doesn't work for any G3416 device, as those who tried bricked their phones including me. I can't test, as my device doesn't work any more:cyclops:

If you've made up your mind to root this device of yours then try at your risk:-

1. Unlock bootloader first(DON'T FLASH boot.img OF G3412 DEVICE or OTHER AT ANY COST)

2. Install magisk and root

3. Share your result with others ;)

[ If dev of this thread or anybody can explain step no.2, he is more than welcome :angel:]
[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
well this kernel will not brick your device, even you will flash it in any xa1 plus (MTK) family, may be it will misbehave with some of drivers but you always can flash new kernel from fastboot mood, and for recovery if not working for someone then he needs to check his firmware and flash kernel accordingly, like if you are using nougat and will flash oreo kernel then surely it is not my fault, i have made folders for each firmware kernel specifically. so first check the firmware and flash kernel accordingly you will never face this issue.

[Sony Xperia XA1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ab.Shaheen:
As i already mentioned thread that there is some problem with magisk on some devices, because this is new method to disable forces encryption, so if you will apply magisk mathod also there will be conflict, select both options on magisk app for preserve force encryption and dm verity, then patch kernel, then flash by recovery,

If you backup your DRM and TA before you unlock your bootloader, it might be restore again. But if you haven't backup it, the lost is lost.

And do not use DRM from another phone, it will brick your phone.
