[GUIDE] [F3111] HOW TO Install Magisk on Xperia XA

Steps:
1. Download Magisk V11.1 & uninstaller
2. Root device (use @rrvuhpg root guide)
3. Download and flash Systemless SuperSU
4. Reboot and fully unroot device (don't restore stock boot image)
5. Reboot
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Flash Magisk & reboot
8. Wait for device to reboot fully (it takes a long, long time)
9. Download Magisk Manager from Play Store
10. If root is there, then you're done
Alternate Method:
1. Root Device (use @rrvuhpg root guide)
2. Download and flash Systemless SuperSU
3. Reboot and install Magisk Manager from Play Store
4. Open Magisk Manager and go onto the install tab
5. Press "detect" on the boot image location section and press "Magiskify" (I kept both advanced options unchecked)
6. Once flashed and rebooted, you're done.
Notes:
1. Rebooting after flashing Magisk takes ages, if there is a problem with booting then just flash the Magisk uninstaller. Just try to wait at least 10 minutes for the reboot after flashing Magisk, just don't crap yourself and uninstall the Magisk.
If you have questions or need help, just ask.

No problem for me on F3112 with Magisk 11.1 and SuperSu 2.79 on 33.2.B.3.105 firmware. Only SafetyNet fail (CTS profil mismatch).

Use MagiskSU instead, fully unroot device with SuperSU but don't restore the boot.img etc. Go to recovery and use the Magisk uninstaller then reflash Magisk 11.1 and if you unrooted, then it will install MagiskSU. It is Magisk's new official root

Also Systemless xposed causes safety net fail and you need to activate Magisk hide in the settings as well

And selinuxmode needs to be enforcing but Magisk takes care of that itself so don't worry, just double check it's enforcing, Magisk will turn it permissive itself only when needed

Thank you for your tips but XA is not my daily phone anymore, now I have a Oneplus3 and XA is just used as test/dev unit. I hope it will help other users.

Magisk should help with maintaining root after the latest and future Xperia XA updates (most likely will work with Nougat update too)

does this let you use android pay

It does, but if you use systemless xposed, you will need to disable it and then it will work.

Thank you very much for this guide.

Can't I use just Magisk installer without unrooting the rom? If I'm not wrong Magisk has is own root manager

I tryed to install Camera 60fps Recording Module but i got error the zip is stored in : intenal storage ....

Is this safety net important to have it in green to pass this CTS ? I have done method 2. Magisk manager form store and then I installed Magisk 12. In installation panel when I tap detect it detecs (auto) mmcblk. Is it all ? Does it work ?

Where can I find the Systemless SuperSU?

I have been trying to change to Magisk with this guide but it failed in the 1st method, the 2nd one gives the root with super su but i wanted to use Magisk alone, so i have been researching and by flashing the stock boot.img (i used the one provided in the thread "Stock kernels built from sources") Magisk was installed and worked except for the SafetyNet. Do someone passes SafetyNet or have a suggestion?

To pass the Safetynet check the only way is to use encrypted partition but you will lose the ability to mount/backup the /data partition with TWRP.

MAGISKSU for Magisk users

So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

MagiskSU works just fine without flashing anything else for me

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

Lost root after upgrading

Hey I just updated my phone through twrp and I lost root access & custom recovery. Could someone tell me how I can root my phone now again? Info of my phone is below in the pic
P.S: I used KingRoot before and it worked. But not anymore.

Of course you lost root and TWRP because a update.zip contains also recovery and other things(vendor, custom, etc.) and by flashing it the stock recovery will overwrite your TWRP and the new system will delete your root access.
And NEVER install KingRoot on this device! It will mess a lot of things(SuperSU and Magisk work)
You will need to flash TWRP again in order to have root because both supersu and magisk need to be flashed through TWRP(because they are .zip files, at least a part of the root, you will need to install the magisk app to have full root)
SuperSU root just needs to be flashed, just magisk needs an app to be installed after .zip flash.
