Hi!
I would post this in the Sony subforum, but there is no section for Xperia Hello, so here I am...
Recently I got my hands on a Sony Xperia Hello, which is a weird robot which basically consists of an android phone with some peripherals bolted on top. It's running android 8.0. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked (with the Sony developer site), but I am now trying to get Magisk onto it and get root access. The reason I want root is because I would like to basically control the hardware parts of the robot through my own stuff - currently this is limited to a Sony app.
I've managed to download the stock firmware using XperiFirm and tried following this tutorial: https://www.droidwin.com/extract-sony-boot-sin-get-stock-boot-img-file/
Problem is that tutorial mentions using boot-xxx.sin file, but there is no file with a similar file name anywhere. This is the list of files in the extracted FW:
I've also found a tutorial saying to unsin the kernel.sin file using flashtool and then rename the extracted elf file to boot.img. But if I try to then boot this (using fastboot boot) it just throws "remote: Dtb not found" error.
So, what am I doing wrong/missing?
