So I'm looking around and I can't see a tutorial.
Can I unlock the bootloader, root, s-off and install a recovery?
Are there any tutorials?
All I want to do is unlock it get rid of the bloatware and then lock it up again so I can still get OTA's
Is that possible?

So I can find how to unlock the bootloader, I can install twrp...
But...
I have read that if you root you lose the camera..
Is this true or can I safely root the phone and relock it?

Use xperifix.
Use the latest Oreo firmware I uploaded in TWRP.
Install xperifix and use it with TWRP.
Use the camera one time.
Upgrade to latest PIE.
Install TWRP and camera works.

Hey everyone. I am new on here. And I just bought a Sony Xperia xz-2. I've been so accustomed to the substratum swift black themes on my Note 8 that coming to this has been a bit underwhelming as I was hoping to use substratum to no avail.
It seems that I'll need to root my new phone in android p to achieve what I want from substratum.
I have absolutely no knowledge of rooting. How can I root my phone if I have to in order to use substratum exactly as I did on my unrooted note 8?
Can anyone on here give me explicit details on how to successfully get substratum to work on my new Xperia?

Lol, unfortunately I can't give you the external links, I'm not allowed to but first you unlock your bootloader on the official Sony Unlock Xperia Bootloader site!!! Go there and read the instructions.
Then head over to the Xperifix site and download the Xperifix software and follow the instructions...
Good luck if you choose that path...
I am still Factory and wondering whether to bother..
At the moment it lacks PIE support

You could install the uploaded Oreo firmware and use xperifix.
After you used the camera and upgrade to pie, the camera will still works (without noise reduction) and the other shiny & nice to have won't work.
The sound vibration system and the color screen system will continue to work.
Well, the PIE color system, not the Sony color system.
But it is similar.

So what do guys think about the new installer and do you think it would support our device
The installer seems to be a great opportunity to anyone who does not know anything about flashing ROMs. It makes it accessible to everyone, but doesn't that mean that there will be more people who don't know what they're doing?

Blu has changed preloader since v6.6. no access to preloader from sptf, so no flashing, no root
Thanks mrmazak,
Anytime sooner will there be root ?
No, there will not be root. The security holes have been plugged. The tools used to modify the phones have been blocked.
If you installed a recent over-the-air update, you are out of luck - no recovery, no flashing, no rooting. Period. End of story. Done.
Never accept an over-the-air update for a phone that you want to root or modify.

Wow **** blu.
Guess I'll just return it, you know, cause **** sales too!
Sorry, I am new to rooting with many of my phones and I am getting very frustrated at how many developers patch the root. I used to think Android was friendlier for root than iOS is for jailbreaking, don't think so anymore.
Is there a root friendly list of phones new you have on this forum up-to-date?
Sort of hard to buy a phone requesting from the seller to have the "right version" on it. Ex.) blu phone prior to v6.6.
Thanks.

If you have custom recovery , then yes. The dirty cow part is only needed to allow bootloader unlock. So once it's unlocked and you have recovery , should be no problem to root

Need twrp first
I have read of "delicacy" of this device and the ease of damaging it using rooting with lightness.
Despite having performed hundreds of "genetic experiments" on my previous devices, I think this Mate 10 Pro will leave you in peace also seen the price not so cheap ...
Apart from the fun of modding and changing rom this Huawei works too well to play with lightness.
There is no bloatware, energy consumption is optimized, and you can only do damage.
With the root I can only make it worse, so let him in peace. For a while...

Luckily you can't mess your phone.
But at the moment you would need to downgrade to OREO and use xperifix to reactivate your camera after unlocking.
Then you can update back to PIE.
downgrading requires a phone wipe.
You could root I first and upgrade with titanium backup or you backup only your media data on the internal and external sdcard.

Root is possible.
But for a working camera you would need to downgrade to OREO, apply xperifix, use your camera one time and upgrade back to PIE.

At least you can deactivate the apps.
On PIE I heared, you can use substratum and Andromeda for your font.
But with root, you can remove the apps and change your font like hell. :silly:

Yes,i know with root it all becomes possible and easy to do. But coming from a rooted Z5,i am very worried about the DRM keys and functionality.
