Check in the service menu to see if it is unlockable *#*#7378423#*#* under software configuration I think it is, if it's a sim free network unlocked device(like from Sony store) it should be ok. If it's supplied locked to a network like EE, T-mobile, Verizon ect it's probably NOT unlockable the days of root on locked Bootloaders is over on new xperia device's if not all devices

Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs

Well.on my device says NO,but in sony page under unlock bootloader,says its unlockable

 

[kalel29]

Well it works,in order to root it,i had to upgrade my firmware to .277 ,the only thing is that i flashed the U.S. firm,and it disabled my fingerprint scanner,now im flashing the Generic Gel. But yeah,root works. :good:

Yes

How long should it take to boot up after flashing this kernel? I can't tell if I'm bootlooping or it's just taking a long time to boot.

[josh_zombie]

u checked what rom firmware version u had before flashing the kernel???

Yes, as far as I can tell.

 

[josh_zombie]

Yes, as far as I can tell.

I flashed the Generic LAM/Customized GEL 34.0.A.1.277 firmware and all seems to be working now.

Well.on my device says NO,but in sony page under unlock bootloader,says its unlockable

Check if MyXperia is turned on, if it is turned on turn it off.
Go to Developer Settings, turn OEM Unlocking on.

It has been a few years since i've unlocked a bootloader on a xperia device so I'm a bit confused:
At the moment it's only possible to obtain root with an unlocked bootloader but unlocking my bootloader means the DRM keys are whiped. I cant do a TA-backup because i have no root yet. But the DRM-fix in this kernel will fix everything so I wont loose any functionallity? So TA backup isnt needed any more? and does unlocking the bootloader still has consequences?

Now if only we got this for the only bug-free version (34.0.A.2.292)...

I assume flashing 34.0.A.2.292 over rooted 34.0.A.1.277 will cause loos of root functionality, right?

I would assume so, but I can't get 34.0.A.1.277?*Customized US to boot with the kernel to try it. Strange that it works for me with other customizations, just not US. And I can't live with the reception loss on LTE if I flash anything other than US/Canada firmwares. Granted I'm new to the Xperia scene, but seems like kernel should work with 34.0.A.1.277?*across the board.
