Now my warranty has expired I'd like to root my Z5 compact using the guide here to make a TA partition backup.
First I need to downgrade. Does anyone have a link to the Customized UK 32.0.A.6.200 firmware?
I believe the full file should be: E5823_Customized UK_1298-5497_32.0.A.6.200_R11B.ftf, but I can't find it anywhere!
You should be able to use a different 32.0.A.6.200 Customized rom. 'Customized NL' is at .200, for example.
If this is the case I'll go ahead with that one. I just want to be careful. Thanks!

MENA Arabic has been added to the OP!
hello there mate, thanks for this rom, but just a question, does it already have an xposed installer app already? because it state in the features, but after trying to flash the baltic version, i cant find the xposed app.
Hello, I recently bought a Z2 D6503 on Android 6.0.1 Stock 23.5.A.0.575. I know I must unlock the bootloader and so on, but can you please provide me with the thread/topic or anything that explains how to use the zip files you provided? I've downloaded the France Customized version.
Thank you in advance !

Actually, You don't need to unlock your bootloader, all you do have to do is downgrade to a firmware that has an exploit, for example 23.1.A.1.28. Once you downgrade to this firmware with flashtool you can use a tool that will root your device. Here is more info: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-xperia-z3-z2-android-5-0-2-firmware-build-23-1-28-1509398
Here is a guide on how to downgrade: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
When you open Xperifirm and select your device download the Vodafone NL, which luckily still has the 23.1.A.1.28 firmware!
Also when when you create your ftf don't include the fsc script!

Mohamed

Let me have a check on the files in the zip!
EDIT: IT SHOULD WORK JUST FINE, CHECK YOUR /SYSTEM FOLDER WITH A ROOT EXPLORER AND CHECK IF THE APK IS THERE...
Could u do UKversion,open network,but slimmed down,with only Google play store no sony apps and nobloatware?

Apparently the app I use to create the pre-rooted zip didn't properly incorporate the apk flashing procedure, so, I will be making a zip for the Xposed app, so you can flash it manually!

Yes I saw it.. But I had a question.. Installing .575 kernel is the same way as installing a whole firmware (moving the file in that location, choose flashmode... etc.) ? And installing supersu and .291 kernel using twrp yes ? Thank you alot for helping me..

Hello Guys,
has anybody rooted the Xperia X Compact without unlocking the Bootloader?
I had the Xperia Z3 Compact before and there were very good Guides to have root with a locked Bootloader.
So has anybody tested a Way to use root with a locked BL?
Or is someone working on that Thing? (Best if it works for Android 7 Nougat)
The Sony Firmware Version 34.2.A.0.292 or 34.2.A.0.266.
Thanks,
FleX246

If it would be possible, you would have it published already here. I don't even thing anybody is working on that. Unless someone finds a way to hack bootloader itself or dm-verity. If this essential thing is not done on Nexus with much bigger development base, it has no sense trying that on Sony.
Xperia X family has technically different firmware. The Z3 family did not use dm-verity and remains the last phone from Sony, that could have rooted system on locked bootloader.
Hi,
I have a sony xperia x compact with Oreo (34.4.A.2.19) and unlocked bootloader,I tried to root it with a TWRP 3.2.1 and after I installated SuperSU ( I don't remember which versione was) my Sony had a bootloop,so I had to reflash again with a ftf file,so how can I root it correctly?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479
Hi guys,
I just received my xperia X compact and i would like to root it, I saw one thread explaining how to root it from Oreo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479) but unfortunately my phone CDA is 1305-2001 (Generic LAM) and the Oreo upgrade is not available i'm stuck in 34.3.A.0.252 (checked on XperiFirm and software upgrade)
What's the best way to root my phone ?
I was wondering if i can directly flash the Oreo firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/android-8-0-0-oreo-released-xperia-x-t3745129) then root it ? Would it work ? (I don't have TA backup)
Or maybe use this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/guide-root-custom-kernel-clean-rom-ta-x-t3583183) to downgrade my phone (again shall i just flash an old firmware from stock ?) and made a TA backup ?
Thanks a lot !

you can pretty much take your pick. If it was me, I would flash an ftf from Flashtool of latest version, (even if not the region you want), then root with rootkernel method. Having a different region fw shouldn't affect anything.
