There is no stock recovery for Sony phones mate, reflash your firmware with Flashtool or Newflasher to remove it completely.

You need to flash magisk as well, just installing twrp doesnt root your phone.

You can try this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/ftf-firmware-g8141-g8142-47-1-8-49-t3734592

Don't forget to tag the wipe options, otherwise it could be possible that the phone is after flashing in a bootloop (happen on my side )

Please keep in mind:
In Orego the camera and so on doesn't work anymore, because of the deleted DRM Keys ... after that upgrade to Pie

If I upgrade to pie the camera will get fixed? I am trynna remove this root so I can fix it. Well that's what I was told

If you lost your DRM, you can still have root. Root is not the reason of the green picture, it's the behavior that unlock the Bootloader delete the DRM Keys. With Pie the camera should be working with or without root

how do i remove it with newflasher? when i check for root it says root is not installed properly, and when i try to backup my stuff it says "rooted devices cant be backed up" and i wanna remove this whole twrp and magisk

From what I know : root can not be reverse : One time root, every time root with all conseqences.
About the "half" rooted device:
Does you have enabled OEM bootloader before unlook the BL in the developer menu?

the bootloader is unlocked.

In this case : No way back, no warranty

yeh probably. but i still wanna remove the root

Remove Root: anyway of which Rom you've in use: uninstall Magist or SuperSu; or flash a Stockrom; or flash a custom rom without incl. root (e. g. CM without add. Addon for Root) Root is gone.... but Your BL is still unlocked and in case that you haven't backup and restore the TA partition : your DRM Keys are lost.
For warranty, Sony looks at the Bootloader... so I didn't understand what is your final goal?

I tried flashing a stock room but it still says there's root. And for ur question. Someone from Sony repair center told me to remove the root and he will try get it fixed under warranty not sure yet

This is nonsense. If you flashed a stock rom with newflasher or flashtool, root has to be removed.

thats what it says.. i tried to back up the apps and other stuff it says "rooted devices cant be backed up"
and when i use root checker it says "root is not installed properly on this device" which is weird i tried flashing stock rom and factory reset still same " is there anything i need to wipe? maybe i am missing something

Is there a good app to check if I still have root? Maybe the one I am using doesn't actually work

 

[mad0701]

install Adaway... this App need the root permissions...
If you have root and an app like SuperSu, Magisk.... the app will ask you, if Adaway should received the rights or not.

idk really whats going on here.. when i try to back up the phone it says rooted devices cant be backed up.
i tried different apps and they all said the phone is not rooted.. i am really confused

Forget a backup....
Backup your files via PCB and try first of all "reset to factory settings"
