Hi all,
As you have probably seen Android 10 is beginning to roll out with firmware 53.1..A.2.2. Currently 2 available versions one is for Ireland with 3 branding and the second is for South Africa. I have flashed the 3IE one today. Seems very good. Everything working and snappy to navigate. Downside is a 3 splashscreen at boot.

I can also report latest magisk works for root and with magiskhide Google Pay is working.

If you want to install then this guide will show you how. https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/28/newflasher-guide-to-install-new-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/

This is the generic instructions I used to get root to work on my Sony Xperia 10 (Model I3123) - Build 53.1.A.2.2.
Download TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-3-kirin.img) on PC.
Download Magisk Manager 7.5.1 on phone. Run. Download the latest Magisk 20.4 (20400) through app.
Put phone into fastboot mode - Power off. Hold Volume Up while plugging USB into PC. Phone LED will be Blue.
via ADB command prompt on PC, run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-3-kirin.img"
Phone should automatically reboot into TWRP Recovery. Select Read Only. Click Install. Install the Magisk app.
Once rebooted, you should have root.

Thanks for your post OP. I didn't know it was going to be so easy to get root on Android 10.

Worked a treat but the phone is not recognising my sd card! Any ideas? I think it may have something to do with twrp

I recall in the past, I lost a few SD cards during rooting or upgrading a rom. I don't know why it happened. Could you check another sd card? Or maybe try this SD card on another phone to pin point where the issue is. Was the SD card working prior to rooting? FYI My SD card works fine. Everything is working as it is on Android 9.0.

I unrooted, flashed back stock rom and it works fine. I believe sd card encryption is broken on twrp

Hi there, thank you for this easy short guide. My xperia 10 runs ok with android 10 53.1.a.2.2 and twrp 3.4.0.0 and i can confirm sd card works too, but i have encryption problems. I ve set password in android but nothing is asked in recovery mode. Do you have same problem? any solution?
