How to flash:
Unlock bootloader is necessary!
1. Download the TWRP image file to your PC.
2. Put your device into fastboot by volume up key.
3. Type the following command to flash the recovery:-

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4. Unplug the USB cable, hold power + volume down.

Might be useful:
If you can't enter twrp, you need to do:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Decryption failed in twrp:
This might happen if you just unlocked bootloader.
Solution: Format data, enter twrp again.

Relock bootloader: See this

Thank you very much!

Awesome!

Is it possible to flash Magisk and root Stock Sony Firmware now?
How to get vbmeta.img?

 

[Simonmicro]

I think yes, you'll just need to disable the verity checks:

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img

For the needed images: You may extract them from Sonys .sin files or (I think) as you disable the checks anyways, you could use the .img-s from any other rom for that device.

Thank you, I´ll give it a try after I downloaded Stock Firmware.

Thank you, works great !

Is it possible to flash Magisk and root Stock Sony Firmware now?

You can also root stock firmware with Magisk and fastboot, without the need of TWRP.

Does stock twrp 20201115 work with android 11.

 

[otwomix]

Can adroid 11 use it？

Follow this guide to unlock the bootloader. Once the bootloader's unlocked you can follow any guides on this forum to install any of these ROMs or recoveries. If all you want to do is root it, then you'll have to follow a Magisk installation guide and you'll need the firmware for the phone so you can extract the boot.img for Magisk to patch. Use XperiFirm here to download the proper stock firmware for your phone, then follow this Magisk installation guide using the boot.img you extracted from the stock firmware to get it rooted with Magisk.

Thanks for your response. i unlocked the bootloader, installed the magisk apk in my phone and downloaded the firmware using xperifirm. where is the boot.img file that will be rooted with magisk?cant find it in the firmware folder.

Hmm that's a good question. Looks like you'll need a few more things.

Use the "boot_X-FLASH-ALL.sin" file you'll find in the firmware folder you downloaded. In my case I would use the Customized UK XQ-AU52 one, but depends on what model you have or are using. If you have trouble knowing what model/region your phone is then use the Emma tool from Sony directly and it'll tell you what firmware you use (this is also useful to keep around should you need to do a full factory reset for any reason).

With that boot.sin file, use UnSIN to convert the file into an .img file and rename to boot.img. That should ideally work.

Please keep in mind that I cannot confirm this to be totally correct! I use LineageOS which provides a boot.img file in the zip already, so have never done this method to root my phone with the stock OS. I would advise looking around forums and doing a few more Google searches for your own sake just to be sure. But so far as I am aware this is the proper method! When all else fails, factory reset and try again.

 

[philshifley]

Yes my phone is a Sony xperia 10ii XQ-AU52.
I converted the boot_X-FLASH-ALL.sin using the unsin software and managed to run the commands as given in the magisk guide page. After successfully doing so, well the phone got stuck in a bootloop, so i had to use Emma to restore it. so am back where i started again.hehe

Ah yes, I was worried that may happen... I had my own issues trying to flash bits and pieces of the firmware versus just flashing the whole thing itself.

Unfortunately that's the best advice I know to give. Only other thing I could say is perhaps try flashing the entire firmware package downloaded via Xperifirm to your device using Newflasher, and THEN do the UnSIN and try again with the boot.img since you'll be certain that the boot files align with one another. Could be an issue that the boot.img for that firmware isn't compatible with the firmware you had already installed on your phone?

Можно ли использовать TWRP в android 11？

 

[taying]

Android 11 does not seem to work normally, will it continue to be updated?

感谢楼主！！
最近我安装magisk后，使用“"选择并修补一个文件"时，遇到了下述错误——

感觉是权限不够，因此想通过twrp来安装magisk，看能不能解决上述问题。
many thanks

i have a question: what's the difference between twrp-20201115-SODP.zip and twrp-20201115-stock.zip?

 

[dergrey]

now i have another question, it seems that twrp doesn't work well:

Is twrp outdate?
i tried to install Magisk-v20.4.zip, but failed which showed like below
