Rooting XA1 Ultra Oreo 8.0?

[JuicePuncher]

So I tried to root my XA1 Ultra, but without luck. The bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed but root? From all the methods the internet gave me I only have one left to try (unless I oversaw something). I use Magisk Manager so my option is to either get the boot.img file for my phone and let it patch or flash the zip thru the recovery which needs a data wipe and I am tired of setting up my phone just to see that nothing happend (I mean I can ignore this point). But I guess that the encryption system (also in twrp) is my enemy.

My question is: Is there a solid way to root my devices? It is stock rom and has Android 8.0 NOT 8.1.

thx

Flashing magisk zip file should not requirer a data whipe.
I have never heard you should whipe data but when you install twrp you need to reformat your device.

Even with reformatting it said that it needs a custom kernel.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a ROM AOSP for my Sony xperia xa1 ultra

I would like to manipulate fonts and I think this is the best way to don't get a bootloop

I would feel really thankful if you could give me a link or whatever, I can't find it by myself

Thank you

I don't really know what exactly you want from but I can only say where I downloaded the firmware.

Did you try super su zip file which can be flashed through twrp? And please am also using same device G3221 single Sim and I want to install twrp as well. How did you get yours installed. Thanks

I tried su but it aborted. And I had twrp installed but now when I try to flash it, my phone is stuck in bootloop.

That was is exact method in my mind after installing twrp. But have you cleared it from bootloop?

I only got twrp flashed once with fastboot. The twrp image was downloaded for probably the Android 7 version.

So is not for xa1-ultra g3221 oreo? And have you gotten your phone out from bootloop state?

It is not for oreo and I got rid of bootloop by flashing the stock firmware with flashtool

 

[a7chris]

At least out from bootloop. Which site if you mind where you downloaded the stock room, because most of this sites claiming to have stock domains are not reliable.

I used Xperifirm to download my stock rom. It is free.
