What is your device? SO-02H or E5823? How and which root method you tried? Tried Magisk or super-su?

[Q] about how ppl root their xperia devices

hi all
new from samsung to sony.
just curious, is it the only way you guys used to root or re-root xperia devices after updates with vroot, tools from DooMLoRD etc? i mean except those mentioned, nobody use other alternatives to root xperia devices (in general, not z tablet only)?
and thus if these tools are not compatible with new firmwares then u r not able to root your device in case the previous root was removed?

You can open the bootloader and then you will always be able to root (flash custom recovery, root, flash stock kernel).

Then I guess you can only root with the exploits and need to be careful about upgrades.
Is it possible to downgrade with Flashtool on locked BL? I think it is (but it's confusing). If it is then you need to keep FTF of the current version in case you upgrade to a new version that can not be rooted.

Rooting LG-D620r with Android 5.0.2 V20b

Hi,
After upgrading my LG-D620r to 5.0.2 V20a few months ago, the only rooting method that worked for me was the one mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/root-root-g2-mini-lollipop-t3123652
Now that I've updated to 5.0.2 V20b it doesn't, I tried using both the latest mobile APK and the desktop application of KingRoot, iRoot, and RootGenius but nothing worked ... so, any ideas?
You don't have installed custom recovery?

flash v20a kdz, root with kingroot, unlock bootloader, install twrp and flash v20b flashable zip.

Happy root news
Hi guys,
I've finally managed to root my device (LG-D620r with 5.0.2 V20b) using the latest Kingroot apk while connected to the internet. However I lost the root status as soon as I restarted the device!
So I rooted again, but this time I followed the method in the link below to replace Kingroot app with SuperSu before doing any reboot and it worked just fine. :good:

Question 12.5.7 Root & TWRP?

Hi! I hope everyone's doing well and okay.
Recently, I just updated my device software to latest 12.5.7 version and suddenly my Magisk root access didn't worked.
I tried using the latest TWRP (Boot A) & (Boot B) which made my phone bricked. Luckily, I was able to flash the stock (old) software version.
MY QUESTION:
Do we have an updated procedure on how to make the root access and TWRP compatible to latest software version 12.5.7?
Please help or else I will be stuck with the software version 12.5.5 just to have a proper root access.
Thank you and please be safe all the time!
Hello, what TWRP method did you use? I rooted my old 12.5.5 with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/poco-x3-gt-note-10-pro-twrp-and-magisk.4354825/ and didn't try the new unofficial TWRP on the new 12.5.7 ROM yet (upgraded just like you and lost root access).
I'm also looking for a way to root 12.5.7.

Hi there!
So now I'm back at 12.5.5 software version, just to have the root access so I won't update the software for now since there's no official way to root the latest 12.5.7
Btw, I used the one-click-tool thread file to root my device.

The link I mentioned might still work for rooting the device. I will try it and keep this thread updated. I'm guessing if the device is bricked or in a bootloop I can just flash the ROM through MIUI Flash tool?

You are correct. It can be flashed using Mi Flash tool easily.
Thank you for everything in advance. Let's hope for a full support for the latest software version soon. I can see people having a good feedback about the recent software update.
I'm just going to stick with the 12.5.5 for now.
Hi, I saw one of the threads here that there's a fastboot available for 12.5.7 latest software version.
I hope someone can share the process on how to get a root access as well for the latest software version.
Thank you!
Hi,
Did anyone root 12.5.7 yet?
