Hello Everyone

I have a Xa1 Ultra phone (G3223)

After 3 full days of searching how can i root my phone i have come to the conclusión that is not posible because of these failed attemps :

1.- My firmware stock versión (working property) its 48.1.A.2.109 i couldnt find any custom kernel nor recovery that Works with this firmware and because of that i cant flash it, so i cant root it.

2.- I could not find and older versión of firmware that had a custom boot.img or recovery.img so i could not downgrade my phone to root it.

3.-There's only 1 post i found on this forum that had a working custom kernel and recovery to be able to root a xa1 ultra Xperia, but his stock firmware versión was 48.1.A.2.50 so as it does not matched mine any attemp to flash it got me a bootloop

So in resume is there anyway i could rot my xa1 ultra phone or all of my assumptions on my researchs are correct?
my stock firmware is G3223_48.1.A.2.109 is there any way i can root it?

Thanks in advance for any information about the subject

The furthest I got is to the conclusion that we need to downgrade to firmware G3223_48.1.A.2.101, there's a working magisk install for that.

I can't get the firmware anywhere and this forum is basically a cemetery.

Haven't tested but I found this >> G3223_48.1.A.2.101 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-oCN7am9nL5TiDQs5uUdLGtW2zEoSVpq/view

It was listed midway through this website >>> https://www.martview-forum.com/thre...-version-firmware-ftf-lock-remove-file.23366/

The .101 downgrade went fine with flashtool, but the TWRP package I found on the janjan thread just boot loops. In fact, anything that I try ends in bootlooping, even fastboot booting an extracted kernel without modification (extracted with either AIK or flashtool).

I think this phone will be impossible to root unless we find the original 48.1.A.2.50 software.

After flashing TWRP did you immediately factory reset? [Flash TWRP, reboot into TWRP, Wipe]. With other devices I've had issues occur if I did not remember to.
