Yes, You need to be unlocked, otherwise is there no chance to flash with fastboot. Besides the rooting of the Kernel is everything Stock. Everything works so far even with GSIs

Where did you get the Customized EU 55.1.A.0.748 J9210 ?? I does not appear on XperiFirm.

My Bad, it is the UK one... I'm also still waiting for customized EU which was always My Choice for Xperia Sources and Development. I'm currently working with GSIs on My Xperia 5 but think i will Release some Stock work soon since i prefer Xperia Android actually over AOSP...
Users will be able to use any Base Firmwares (Android 10) for it but i will personally Test on Custom EU :fingers-crossed:

@Miustone will you be releasing a boot.img for the latest security patch?

@Miustone Sorry to bother you here, but I am struggling with patching the Xperia 1 .sin boot image with any current version of Magisk. I've tried a few versions but they all fail to create the image from the .sin file. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
I should add, I was trying to use these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-1/how-to/xperia-1-root-guide-t3938304

Just read the first Post of this Thread and You will get everything You'll need.
EDIT: Since You just need a .img File for Magisk is there no need to share it with Me actually. Just patch it in the Magisk Manager App and flash it with fastboot afterwards.

Ah, okay. Thanks. One last stupid question.. for the firmware, does it matter if the img file comes from the Android 10 firmware? I am planning to flash my Xperia 1 with PE, which is still Pie.

Prefer a newer Base Firmware over a newer GSI. A Android 9 GSI will run better with Android 10 Kernel as vice versa. Pie will be no Problem if You run Android 10 Vendor and Kernels. Happy flashing! :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: There are also PE Android 10 Builds out there... https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...iscussion/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis-t4003457

After I get root, can I completely deGoogle my phone? Since there is no Lineage OS for XPERIA 5, can I manually get rid of all of Google's stuff?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes You can. But You can also install LOS 17.1 from the GSI Forums. I also did Instructions for flashing GSI Treble ROMs in the Xpiera 5 Guides Forum :good:
After that You may want to have Magisk to pass safetynet and to install MicroG or NanoDroid to get everything working. I'm actually running PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module and it's one of My Favorites so far. You may also like Havoc OS Official which also comes as no Google Apps Version. You can do the same on Havoc like You can on LOS but + endless Costomization

I really appreciate your reply, but I am a complete noob and all this is extremely overwhelming.
"PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module" - this alone gives me terrors
I know nothing about these things but I understand you, it's just everyday business for you coz you are a developer. I tried reading your guides and there are so many things I don't understand. I also was traumatized by rooting my S10, which I sold and got Xperia 5 instead. I read here people said I will permanently lose DRM keys after rooting. This is my biggest problem. With S10 I knew I could go back to stock and not worry. Here, if I go all the way and deGoogle my Xperia and it doesn't work the way it should I won't be able to go back and on top of that selling it will be harder and I will lose money since not everyone is willing to buy a phone which can't get Netflix and other DMR-dependent garbage.
Maybe I could sponsor you to help me flashing all the stuff. I just don't know if it's a crazy idea. Also, asking you to rewrite your guides for idiots like me is asking too much, given how busy you are.
If you have some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

First of all. Good choice to get rid of a Samsung Device Like i did with My S9+! Sammy is pushing Android into a Appleish Edge that shouldn't exist...
Just like Huawei. But different Story...
Out of My View with Years of expierence with different Brands is SONY one of the Most supporting OEM in Views of Android Development besides the Fact they Always excluded some functionality of the included Smartphone Hardware. For example:
-Xperia Z1 lost the Complete Camera Function after unlocking (Got fixed with a Update later after Claims from Customers) and lost Display enhancements + Camera Noise reduction
-Xperia Z3 lost the Vibrant Display Colors after unlocking (Aka Bravia Engine) which ended Up in washed Out Colors and was still loosing Noise reduction
-Xperia XZ Premium still loosing enhancements after unlocking plus the loss of Camera Noise reduction
And now the Xperia 5...
Sony used for the First Time Samsung Sensors for the Cameras instead of own ones with High Resolution. So no Noise Reduction needed anymore. Finally OLED, so no washed Out colors without Display Enhancements.
I'm quite Happy with this One since you don't loose Something Essential. Besides that have i Always Managed since the Z3 to fix almost all Problems on Xperias with native Android functionalities that is used on other Devices. Eg. For the Display, Audio, Camera, Mics and so on.
And thats the final Point. While older Devices Had the Chance to Backup and restore the TA Partition or even to use a Recovery on locked Bootloader (I've also worked with this for some Time) which allowed to make Your Device Complete Stock again. We don't really have that Options anymore. So i would say an Unlock is a final Step. But to be honest. I sold many Devices claimed as unlocked and rooted and it hasn't Cut the Price at all. And even if You Don't. I don't think a normal Person will See a difference after unlocking and relocking
Is it worth it? For Me a clear Yes! I never looked back after unlocking any of My "Hundreds" of Devices i used. Magisk and GSIs alone are really worth the Unlock Out of My View actually. You can do so much with Android and it finally doesn't feels Bad anymore on Xperias. My SOM (Magisk based ROM (Systemless-On-Memory) will do a lot of awesome Things with Our Xperias (1 & 5). Another good Reason maybe...
It could be smart to make a Video which explains how to get My Work on Your Xperias. From unlocking to Flashing... Would really like to do that after some preparing for it. Possible that there are a lot of People who don't even know about Bootloader unlocking so it really could be cool. I already did some Videos in the Past; https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMarius517
Think i got a bit lazy since the Software alone takes so much time These days. But i will do My best to get People in Touch and to Show everything step by step.
Lot of Text but Hope i made Your decision to Unlock or not easier... Don't think about the Future of Your Device. Think about what You want from it right now...:good:
Btw. Not Sure but You could try ADB to remove Apps. But idk. If IT IS possible with Google Apps (Locked Bootloader Method)
All the Best,
Miu

Thank you! You are a hero. I will be waiting for your updated guides and possibly a video for noobs. Appreciate your time!
Peace.

Question Root for Joying Android 10 units?

I just bought a 8” Joying JY-UQD80N4G unit, and I’m wondering if there is a way to root it? I’m new to the business of rooting and Android head units in general, so I’m not sure where to look. I’ve seen a few guides on rooting joying devices here, but most of them seem to be made for older Android versions. I don’t want to mess up and end up bricking my new head unit. Can anyone help?

Yes. Get the firmware from joying support. and note its install instructions
Find the boot.imgand patch it with magisk,

See section, "Spoiler: Initial Root / Create Master Root Image" should help
But instead of using the flashing commands, repack the zip/bin file with your new boot.img replacement and following the install insstuctions.

The above link is for the sc9853i. The uis7862 needs the same approach but different binaries/libraries as the sc9853i is an x86 chip and the uis7862 is an ARM chip. That is a different CPU architecture. If you really want to know how to do it, you need to search on 4pda. There are 3 different ways of doing that.
Furthermore: the 6315_1.zip is identical for all FYT uis7862 units. There are 6315_1.zip versions there with a "baked in" rooted boot.img. It is not all so difficult and not so different from the sc9853i, but it IS different.
And again: Why do you want to root it? On the higher Android versions rooting doesn't add much. It breaks Google voice feedback. It blocks more and more apps that check whether they are started on a rooted device. Viper4Android doesn't work on these units (and it useless now with the DSP enabled units).
So why?

I have mentioned it earlier. There are 3 different rooting scripts in the uis7862 section on 4pda. We are not allowed to directly link (as 4pda is also supposed to have illegal software, which is actually not true)
Edit: well, to help you a little. Search under user @gordgelin for "universal root" on 4pda

I'd like to root it because malwarebytes is getting tetchy about devicetest and believes it's cloaked adware (yota)
As it can be stopped but not disabled (extremely suspicious for a "test" app), I tend to agree and want to nuke it

Install Magisk and than flash the script, see attachment.

That worked perfectly
Thank you!!
(I'd tried following other threads and using ADB, etc - which didn't work, so I'm extremely grateful)

Where do I learn about rooting on these forums?

PROBLEM:
1. I need to find a forum where I can learn about rooting in a general way, not just a phone specific way. There are too many overlapping problems with my phone and issues that I am too undereducated to pinpoint. I thought learning how to root and flash stock-roms might be the best place to start. Book references or YouTube channels would also be wonderful.
2. I would also like to be pointed in the direction of what the problem might actually be if I am out in left field, and where to find that on this site as well.
HERE'S SOME OF WHAT I WANT TO LEARN IN THE FORUMS:
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?
Will re-locking the bootloader resolve the certification issue like I read?
How do I lock the bootloader again?
Can you fix UI crashes by re-flashing a phone's stock ROM?
How is a Factory reset different from a fresh stock-rom flash?
If factory reset doesn't stop the UI Crashes, will re-flashing the stock rom have a different effect?
Etc.
DETAILS:
I purchased a Razer 2 Phone and unlocked the bootloader but it was a long time ago and I don't remember what I did. I did some research and it looks like when I did that my Google Play Store lost its certification. I think that it is causing app bugs and failures but I am not sure because the phone's UI sytem, bluetooth and Wi-fi have been crashing before I tampered with anything when I first bought the phone online. Bluetooth and Wi-fi don't stay on and toggle themselves off. There is also no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi address in the system info. It makes me think that my Door Dash app bugs might be more than one thing.
I work for Door Dash and it's my main income so I need my app to work and I think that the bad certification is causing problems with my Door Dash App. But the Razer also needs a software repair.

Welcome to XDA,
I would recommend this>
1. Type your desired device for rooting
2. Hit search
3. Once located your device, head to Upgrading and Modifying sub section
4. Be prepared to read a loooot!
5. Practice in your device (try not to brick it)
6. Done!
For this questions there is no general rule you can apply, it will always depend on the device you try to root
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?

Moto E22 - LineageOS20 vs Lineage

I just bought a Motorola Moto E22 and want to install a custom ROM to get rid of google stuff.
It seems Lineage does not support this phone yet, but I found this LineageOS22 guide which I have no idea it is reliable or if it has anything to do with the official Lineage project.
Any clarification or suggestions for alternative privacy respecting ROMs that work on Moto E22 would be much appreciated.

First of all, don't do these before completing 1 year of buying. You will lose warranty for unlocking bootloader.
Second thing is, if any official rom is not supported, you can definitely use unofficial version from xda. Developers try their best to fix issues with unofficial roms. If you don’t know if it’s reliable or not, read the comments to learn about bugs, issues and positive sides.
Don't be afraid of trying roms built for your model. Because by chance if you don’t find the rom good, you can revert back to stock rom using rescue & smart assistant tool (official software from lenovo/moto)
And before getting started, take note of your model number. Also you have to install device info hw app & click on system there. There you have to find what is your device called in developments. The name will be written beside "device" title (not sure). For example, my moto e5 is called nora in development.
N.B. Dont use any unofficial rom from outside of xda!

Thanks for the quick response.
Privacy is a greater concern than warranty, so much so that I would have got the PinePhone if I could, but the best I can do is try to mitigate the damage made by stock android spyware and Motorola bloatware.
I'm more than willing to test unofficial roms, the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any available for my model here on xda, not even an official thread yet.
The LineageOS20 for Moto E22 link I found does seems a bit suspicious as there is nothing about it here on the forum.

[QUESTION] How to Bypass ARCore Check on Samsung Galaxy A13 (non 5G)
