Hello guys.
I need help with rooting my device (Sony Xperia Sp).
I know nothing about how to do it so please tell me step by step. :victory:
I want to upgrade it to an android 5.0 or 6.0
Thanks for your time.:highfive:
Root is not necessary to install new version of android. You should read something about:
-Unlocking Bootloader
-Flashing Custom recovery (actually fastbooting but nevermind)
-Using custom recovery to install system, and optionally google apps

This ROM is for on the SO-02E (NTT docomo) variant of the Xperia Z and is fully stock and rooted with all the docomo bloatware. No default files have been tweaked in anyway. This ROM is still 4.2.2, docomo needs to hurry up and upgrade to!!!
I made this ROM using the [NUT]'s guide.
I tested this on my SO-02E and everything seem to works.
No reboot issue when mounting the system as R/W and no issues booting into recovery.
No data should be lost and all apps are retained when upgrading so you should be good - but backup your data just in case.
(NOTE: This ROM includes the older NDRUtils 1.0 because the newer version doesn't work so don't upgrade. I've contacted the developer and hopefully he can fix it)
Prerequisite:
Rooted 10.1.D.0.343 or 10.3.1.B.0.256
XZDualRecovery Installed
Installation:
1. Copy SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1.flashable_v2.zip to your SDCard
2. Boot into recovery (I use TWRP)
3. Flash SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1.flashable_v2.zip
4. Wipe cache/dalvik
5. Power off
6. Flash SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1_stripped.ftf with Flashtool (make sure nothing is ticked)
7. Reboot (may take some time upon first boot so don’t freak out!)
Profit!!!
Stock Odexed Files:
SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1_stripped.ftf (MD5 = e67da64855d92a882270a4f816f215f8)
Download
SO-02E_10.3.1.B.1.1.flashable_v2.zip (MD5 = df5d5605682c64c0dade5aa526a73d27)
Download
Warning!!!
If you experience a bootloop or if it get’s stuck on the splash screen, then boot into TWRP and do a factory restore (you will lose everything). It may take up to 10 minutes to boot up so be patient.
Any chance root version without unlocking the bootloader?

This is for the unlocked bootloader - specifically this is for the SO-02E which the bootloader can't be unlocked. One caveat is you already have to be rooted and have XZDualRecovery installed before install this ROM.
Try using Easy Root Tool for various Xperia devices and see if it works.

Hi Folks,
I am new to this C6903 group and new to Sony Phone Rooting & Custom rom. Earlier I have rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 with Odin, installed TWRP Recovery & many different Custom roms.
I have successfully rooted this C6903 with “Kingroot” and confirmed root with “Root Checker”. Downloaded FlashTool latest version 0.9.23.2 now what is the next step? (I wish to installed TWRP Recovery & Nougat Custom rom, both downloaded.) Now should I unlock the Bootloader first?

Hey ,
You could simply install TWRP by fastboot , in this way you can have a recovery and then install Magisk for root permissions .
1. Go find your twrp.img for Xperia SP
2.Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC , make sure you have the fastboot drivers installed.
3. Put the downloaded image in the platform-tools folder or where ever your Fastboot.exe file is
4. Connect your phone in fastboot
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" without quotation marks.
Now reboot your device and you should have TWRP installed
Now you can install any root module of your choice. Eg: Magisk
Hello,
I can't root my Xperia SP haushan..
Wtah i have:
- Flashtool_0.9.25.0 on my Win 10 PC, installed drivers
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP 3.2.3.0
- installed ROM 8.1 oreo for Xperia SP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/rom-aosp-oreo-xperia-sp-t3666304 (aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc)
- open_gapps arm 8.1 pico
- BootBridge-SonyELF (e377bc9 on Jan 14) with Magisk_16.0 inside this (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip) -> magisk renamed to install.zip and replaced in BootBridge
Installing of Magisk:
- plug xperia to PC via USB in flashmode
- flash TWRP 3.2.3.0
- unplug xperia from PC
- restart xperia with no volume buttons pressed -> twrp is loaded
- install -> select BootBridge with Magiskv16.0 -> installation OK
- restart xperia -> twpr loaded again.. i think it's correct, right?
- plug xperia to PC via USB in flashmode
- flash root.img (unzipped from aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc.zip)
- unplug xperia from PC & restart
- xperia starts to android
- root checker said that i've NOT rooted system..
1. How can I check that magisk is installed correctly? Is it any icon and application to run in my apps list? I have nothing.
2. Should i have recovery TWPR and root.img from aosp-8.1.0-20180905-huashan-adriandc.zip both in the same time?
When i will to run TWPR, i must flash it to xperia.. When i will to run system, i must flash root.img extracted from the ROM installer zip. It's normal? Or maybe i should run system without pressing volume and run TWPR with pressed volume+ or -?
i want magisk on my xperia z1 and use it but it can't be installed it fails when writing to boot.img
installing threw twrp makes phone go in bootloop no logo nothing had to reflash it to use it again
if anyone have xperia z1 with magisk and twrp can you please upload a recovery to use or can someone show me how to install magisk
Magsik is flashable through Boot bridge:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-boot-bridge-sony-elf-t3506883
Read the whole first post and Follow the instructions for flashing magsik closely, Flash at your own risk.
it didn't work my device went into bootloop and no sony logo on startup had to flash twrp and recover boot
if can someone upload a twrp recovery with magisk and everything that would extremely help alot my device is xperia z1 c6902
Weird, it's working for me and I have magsik installed right now, did you follow the instructions step by step?
Yes i did and it didn't work
Can you please make a twrp recovery that contains boot only?
It might do the trick since my boot is the problem
Xperia z1 c6902
Hello guys,
I have a problem installing magisk on my Sony Xperia z3 compact with android stock 6.0.1 in order to root my phone.
Today, for the first time, I unlocked the bootloader and I installed TWRP recovery.
I tried to install the latest version of magisk (v. 18.1) via TWRP, but it shows "Error 1".
I read in the XDA forum that I should flash the boot.img and then I should reinstall magisk.
What I don't understand is where I can find this file "boot.img". I have a stock rom.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!
