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,

I don't think it's possible

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.

After reading unlocking bootloader of the z1 the camera will not function!
But i am read the instruction from sony mobile!

Known issues
To unlock the Xperia™ Z1 boot loader, you must update your device to the latest software (build 14.2.A.0.290, Android 4.3). Unlocking the boot loader on earlier software versions will stop the camera functionality.
Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum.
Just want to confirm is camera still working after unlock boot loader on 4.3.
Yes, it's working good.

Hi everyone,
I'm probably asking a simple question, but I couldn't find the answer easily. Since yesterday, my phone can do an OTA update (24.201.6.en.EU) but my bootloader is unlocked (phone not rooted). Can I do the OTA update without problem, or do I need to relock bootloader (and i think that would reset the phone) ?
Thank's

On another note, will I lose root?
Is 24.201.6.en.EU Android 6.0?? Is there any confirmation on what this OTA exactly is?

Root is working for XA and Ultra, all firmwares. Just need to unlock the bootloader before. Read carefully the guide (read comments if needed) and choose "rootpack" for single sim. Don't worry about firmware version.
Will this even work on kernel version : 3.18.22+ ??

No problem reported on last firmwares with 3.18.22 kernel. I will update kernel only if needed or justified
Thanks rrvuhpg, but I'm having a total disaster rooting this phone, it says in service menu bootloader unlocked : yes but in flash tool it says it can't be unlocked. Banging my head against a brick wall and I have spent hours trying to root, any tips ?

It can't be unlocked probably because it is unlocked . You will have same error if you try "oem unlock" command in fastboot, with the reason at the end (not necessary).
Just continue to follow the root guide carefully.
Thank you rrvuhpg for your patience regarding rooting of my phone, Im learning more about terminal commands etc, and believe it or not have just rooted my Sony SWR50 so Im used to the fast boot commands now. Ill keep trying. :good:
Thanks rrvuhpg I have successfully rooted Xperia XA F3111, after first go, thank you very much, merci.

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.
