- magisk root sony xperia pro-i
I tried to root with Magisk, but couldn't open the bootloader using the procedure on this Sony.com website: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader. The procedure doesn't give me an unlock code. Do you have an alternative?
I recently rooted my Pro-I without any issues that weren't my own inability at paying attention to guides.
to get the oem unlock key you just paste your IMEI under xperia 1 IV since pro-I doesn't have a dedicated listing.
just follow the guide https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-windo...re-and-gsi-rom-flashing-without-twrp.4390175/

I am also running into this problem. Did you find a solution? I've presently been escalated through Sony Support and am waiting on a call back.
First off, that's kind of a **** answer. Second, can you give some evidence about your claim about the Pro I? What region was your phone?I recently rooted my Pro-I without any issues that weren't my own inability at paying attention to guides.

I've confirmed with him, I also have a rooted Pro-I. It's an HK model although I'm in Canada
Bootloader is unlocked for us by stating it's a 1 III or 1 IV on sony site, it provides the code then.
XQ-BE72
American models cannot be unlocked
AMA; I've done lots of tweaking with it and can attest to it's performance
Tsuchimursu has also helped to confirm a prior root finding so I can vouch for him as well

yeah it's a bad answer because I'm a total beginner at this stuff and don't pretend otherwise. My only real issues were my own doing, had I followed guides step by step I would have gotten it done without any issues. I pointed out the thing that differed from guides that worked for me. you can ask specific questions if you hit a brick wall but it's been a while now so I don't remember much of what I did...
oh by the way, there used to be a guide for pro-I specifically (https://xdaforums.com/t/closed-deleted.4390175/) but due to some drama I know nothing of, it is no more, sadly.
Can you do me a huge favor and screenshot the "no" please, and re-iterate your model number?
Talking with Sony about this.
IMEI:
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
IMEI Software Version:
4X
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Security Configuration:
Live
Model number: XQ-BE62
BTW, I have been trying to reach Sony Support for a week and they haven't replied. I only need full access to my cameras, nothing else.
Thank you VERY much for this. For what it's worth, they seem to think XQ-BE62 is unlockable. My unit is arriving in coming weeks and I'll be raising hell if that's not true.
In the mean time, "Developer options" -> "OEM unlocking" - can you confirm you have that checked, and re-validate if your "Bootloader unlock allowed" changes to "yes" ? This is a long shot.
If you are able to root your phone please let me know. Fingers crossed. I just checked Developer Options and OEM unlocking is on. I went to *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer and it still returns NO. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I have my doubts.
Very interesting. Sounds like left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Sony.
Will ping this thread (no promise on timeliness) once I get my device.
Sorry to be kind of absent from this convo. This month has been insanity. I am watching what happens. I have a US based Pro I as well XQ-BE62.
