Xperia 10 - kernel + root

[ToastedToast]

This works for me. Best idea is to use fastboot boot boot.magisk.img to test, then fastboot flash boot boot.magisk.img to flash it if it works.

I have an i3123

I do TWRP soon for this device . At this moment I don't have this device !!

Since the firmware is freely available and the Xperia 10 firmware is open source, You may be able to compile TWRP without the device itself.

I patched stock boot.img with latest magisk (19.1) for I41xx variant but not test it yet. I'll do it today later. If u want to test it just type this command 'fastboot boot boot-magisk-i41xx.img' and if it works u can flash it safetly.

Here's link: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7ru7qqr4j6uubi9/boot-magisk-i41xx.img

edit:
How I did it?
I just downloaded stock boot.img and patched it with my other rooted device using magisk manager.

It didn't work on my I4193.

I took the risk and it is all working! Thank you. I have the I3123 version on this phone, but the steps I imagine would be similar for the other versions of the Xperia 10.

Here are all the steps I took:
1)Unlock bootloader. There are tutorials how to do this.
2)On the computer [I used Windows 10], download files for ADB (called platform tools) and USB drivers. I was able to find these on the Sony Developer website (google search "How to unlock bootloader - Open Devices - Sony Developer World" will take you directly to it). Extract both zip files. You should now have 2 folders, named "platform-tools" and "usb_driver".
3)When you plug in your phone, Windows will try to install the drivers. If it cannot, direct the path of the drivers to the USB drivers folder. This step should've already been done when unlocking the bootloader, but just repeating just in case.
4)Download the boot.img and boot.magisk.img from MAREK10747's cloud storage (links on the top of thread). Place these files directly in the platform-tools folder
5)Put phone into fastboot mode. <Turn phone off <Hold the Volume Up button on phone while plugging into computer through the USB cable<Phone led will turn blue and screen will be black. You're now in fastboot mode.
6)On the computer, go to the platform tools folder. Hold the shift key while right clicking on an empty space on the screen. Click "Open Power Shell Window Here."
7)Type
fastboot devices
I had to type it like this for some reason: .\/fastboot devices
If you get a result, then that means that your computer is communicating with your phone.
8)Now you got to flash some files to the phone. These are the commands I used:
\/fastboot flash boot boot.img
.\/fastboot flash boot boot.magisk.img
You should get confirmation after running each line saying OK. Then run this command
.\/fastboot reboot
9)After phone restarts, download and install MagiskManager-v7.2.0.apk. Do a Google search for this file (it's on this site, xda) Run app. It will ask you to install additional files, say yes. Phone will restart. It will install Magisk version 19.0. I tried flashing to the latest version, but phone start bootlooping. I would recommend keeping it to whatever it defaults to rather than updating.
10)That should do it. Magisk passes SafetyNet checks and all rooted apps are working.

Thank you very much for your files MAREK10747 and for helping me get root.

For flash you need :
1.Unlocked bootloader (warranty to be not void)
2.ADB i FASTBOOT
3.Drivers for your device (try to install drivers from flashtool. Win10 users must disable drivers signing.)

Someone Who Rooted the Xperia 10 following this tutorial....

Does Google Pay works?????

In my case, once I rooted my xperia, Google pay did not work because Google pay detected the Root. Then I hid Root status using xposed and RootCloak, and Root was hid for Google Pay... but know, it does not work again , this time Google Pay says that it cannot work because the bootloader is unlocked...


So what can I do???? it is possible to have a XPERIA 10 Rooted and Unlocked with Google Pay working???? if so,.... what I have to do???


Thank you very much for your invaluable support.

Kind regards

Can I root with an older kernel?

My xperia 10 is at kernel 8.xx ...the August release.
Can I proceed with the root using an older kernel?
I think I'm supposed to get the current kernel from my phone and create a patched image but I have no idea how to extract my current kernel.

Thanks for any help!

Someone please help!!! My computer will read my xperia 10 and adb devices works and I can see that my device is being read and or seen by adb but when I boot to the bootloader through adb commands my computer does not read my device through fastboot commands

If 'fastboot devices' does not return with a code then reinstall adb/fastboot drivers. Also try another usb port.
