ok, i have tried but it seems that i can't send message to you before you agree the friend add request.
Hi. When I try this, I get an error. First command works fine but second does not. here are results:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: a
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot: unknown option -- set-active=b
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? My drivers are set to the ones I had downloaded when I unlocked the bootloader, Android ADB Interface. I am on Android 13
EDIT: ok I figured out the issue. Apparently my PC was using an old version of fastboot even though I was opening the prompt in the folder of the new one. I moved the newer fastboot to replace the old one and the set-active command prompt worked, however I now get stuck here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot flash boot_b [PATH]\boot.img
Sending 'boot_b' (0 KB) FAILED (File is too large to download)
fastboot: error: Command failed
EDIT 2: OK figured out another step. Apparently the zip didn't properly extract? I tried downloading it again and I still can't extract it I get an unexpected end of data error
EDIT 3: Redownloaded the file as a regular file instead of a zip, flashed that successfully.

I then ran
fastboot reboot recovery
which seemed to reboot my phone into the regular OS rather than recovery mode.
If I attempt to reboot into recovery again, I seem to get the stock recovery rather than TWRP
Also can you please explain the last line:
Once you're done head to the reboot menu and change to the other slot and reboot back to system
I'm not sure what that means.
Thanks for the guide.

Err I see. Does that mean I'm not getting root on it? Kinda bought the phone assuming I could based on the bootloader unlock option and the various threads here...
You don't need TWRP for root. Plenty of guides on here on how to get root. Just remember that by unlocking you have to wipe the phone clean. so backup everything first.
there's plenty ways to get root, after you unlock bootloader (eg: magisk boot patch)
right now twrp is kinda like work in progress till i manage to get vendor_boot to works on a12 and 13, once i get that twrp will be a lot safer
Hmm I'll have to take another look. I tried installing the magisk apk and it didn't give me the option to patch like my last phone did. Would you happen to have a guide for this phone or maybe just a more up to date one? I have not rooted since android 9
Every guide I'm finding seems to require the stock boot.img and I can't find that for this phone
edit: Found and followed this guide

Are there any plans to fix the USB OTG feature? Or are we still not recommended to use this recovery until an update?
there're a few problems on the TWRP for the sony stock rom, to solve the problems, lolipru need active testers that flashed custom roms, such as SparkOS, RiceDroid, LineageOS, etc.

so, here's boot.img one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H7iQbwGJqZ-yjpFgf-ymFfhI1L0UP4-V/view?usp=share_link
but keep it in mind that this CANNOT use to flashing any custom rom, including magisk. only for access data on stock rom only
- modify /data isn't working due to rc=0 error
- module loading isn't works either
- decrypt data only works on A slot
full explanation
i didn't have device, and i didn't got any promise for money to buy device either. everything rely on testers
for someone who want to donate for buying device here's paypal (right now i don't need testers, i need a real device. cost me around 560$ here
or pm if someone want to send me a device *especially usa, due to having cheap service to send it to here*, i'll made good use for it)

There is an easy solution for that. Flash TWRP to the active slot. Follow My Guides to make a Magisk Boot Image and flash the Magisk Image after using TWRP within TWRP (select image).
To use TWRP use ADB again. You can also change Slots using TWRP or Apps made for that to get around the bootloops. Not sure about the encryption but my Xperia 1 III has decryption no matter on which slot i flash.
We can also trying to fiddle around with that:

You should honestly have both the Google Driver's and the Sony Xperia 1 III driver's....1
fastboot boot "never" works on sony since xz3 afaik
for now only issues will be certain module won't load, cause partially hardbrick on vendor_boot (not affect on /boot but it made /data accessing useless)
