[F3216] Help me! UB, root and back up. - Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers

Hello guys. I'm new member. I'm from Viet Nam. I follow this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/how-to/f31xx-how-to-root-xperia-xa-noob-t3430170 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa-ultra/how-to/how-to-root-xperia-xa-ultra-dual-t3439173
So I have UB but I can't root my phone. After I flash recovery and boot I hold vol - and power button but... my phone is boot loop
I flash firmware with firmware download on Xperifirm but after I flash firmware I can't restore with backup in SDcard ( I have backup sms, call, app to SDcard) I try relock bootloader but I don't backup TA before UB so I can't relock.
Now I can't root(cannot start TWRP recovery to install Supersu) and cannot restore with backup in SDcard.
Help me please!

Hi, are you sure that you are on Marshmallow firmware? If you are on Nougat you followed the wrong guide. Guides for XA and Ultra are different so use the one for your device.

[Q] ROOT Xperia Z2 Tablet WiFi (SGP511) with Lollipop 5.0.2 - fw -23.1.A.0.690

I recently purchased Xperia Z2 Tablet WiFi (SGP511) with Lollipop 5.0.2 - fw -23.1.A.0.690... Can some walk me into root this device, I've check XDA forums but it does not give a clear step by step how to. Any help will be appreciated.

Basically the steps are as follows: Downgrade to Android 4.4.2 using Flashtool, then root with TowelRoot, install XZDualRecovery, then install a prerooted flashable Lollipop with TWRP if you like Lollipop. No need to unlock the bootloader. All the information should be available in the forum. Good luck!

Thanks for the info, question...
Can I just flash it using this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/update-t3082546 "?. i'm thinking this is already rooted.
Also, i do need to unlock bootloader, correct?
sorry for my noobness

That would be the last step to use the prerooted flashable.
I would recommend not unlocking your bootloader. If you want to unlock it, you need to run an additional program to backup your DRM keys, otherwise they will be lost for good.
You will need the correct 4.4.2 FTF file for your model number, then use Flashtool to flash it. It will wipe everything and restore to factory defaults. Instructions in the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/general/ftf-collection-locked-unlocked-bl-t3061431
Then you can basically follow the instructions in this post to root:

And XZDualRecovery from this post:

From what i read, those who updated to MM while rooted didn't lose root. Did you successfully unroot first?

hwlp me out fellas............
Downgrade your firmware to lollipop and root it without unlocking bootloader (because it is possible on lollipop). Then do a backup and after you backed it up flash marshmallow firmware back and unlock it and root again.

Which androidversion are you currently on?

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))

You have to use the correct boot.img file
The boot file and the firmware should be of the same version
