Hi!
I would post this in the Sony subforum, but there is no section for Xperia Hello, so here I am...
Recently I got my hands on a Sony Xperia Hello, which is a weird robot which basically consists of an android phone with some peripherals bolted on top. It's running android 8.0. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked (with the Sony developer site), but I am now trying to get Magisk onto it and get root access. The reason I want root is because I would like to basically control the hardware parts of the robot through my own stuff - currently this is limited to a Sony app.
I've managed to download the stock firmware using XperiFirm and tried following this tutorial: https://www.droidwin.com/extract-sony-boot-sin-get-stock-boot-img-file/
Problem is that tutorial mentions using boot-xxx.sin file, but there is no file with a similar file name anywhere. This is the list of files in the extracted FW:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also found a tutorial saying to unsin the kernel.sin file using flashtool and then rename the extracted elf file to boot.img. But if I try to then boot this (using fastboot boot) it just throws "remote: Dtb not found" error.
So, what am I doing wrong/missing?

Hi,
I am new to this android world so don't much>
SO the question--
I wish to flash a custom ROM on my Xperia Miro [ST23i] running on Android version 4.0.4 Build - 11.0.A.5.5 .
So after a lot time spent googling and exploring various posts on XDA I came to the conclusion that I need to --
1. Unlock the bootloader first .
which I did successfully
2. Download Desired ROM
I downloaded xParanoid-v3 (Ultimate Edition)
3. Now I am Stuck.
I figured that I need to install a recovery on my phone as it does not have it preinstalled
So I downloaded CLOCKWORK MOD Recovery
When I tried to Install CWM on my phone this error showed up
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now If there's a way to flash a rom without the need of recovery please do tell.. OR Please help me with this error.
Flash kernel that have CWM (vengeance) or search xperia j, e, miro, tipo forums there's apk that will install it for you.
Good luck ?

Dear XDA users,
I want to instal a nougat TFT on my Sony Xperia Z5, ofcourse I've read much of the guides here on the forum, though almost every other guide seems to be a little different than the rest...
Therefore I would like somebody to guide me through flashing the firmware. I downloaded Sony Flashtool, and the nougat TFT, (the latter I downloaded from this thread, so you know what file I'm working with: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/z5-e6653-32-3-0-376-update-rolling-t3553418 Here's a few things I would already like to know:
- Do I tick the box 'kernel' in the 'exclude' list, or no?
- I do have to tick all the boxes in the 'wipe' section, correct?
- Are there any settings I need to change from how I have them in this image?

}
- And ofcourse is there anything else I need to do or not do at all? I just really want to avoid bricking my device.
BTW, my bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP custom recovery, and currently do not have root, but could root if need be.
Thanks in advance, Muchwowww
Thanks a lot for all the detailed replies, I winged it and it worked so I'm now rolling with Nougat, Toblerone ain't got **** on mejh.

1.Yes my Drivers are Installed and im running windows 10 with disabled driver reinforcement
2. My bootloader is unlocked since I Flashed TWRP and Lineage OS 18.1 in this
3. I tried Deleting Loader.sin and repacking it but it wont open the bundle :|
Please help also respect my post thank you!

Hi guys,
I need help with my a12 (SM-A127F/DNS) (A127FXXU4AUK1)

Assuming you're using a Windows PC and Odin.
Run Odin as administrator.
You'll need the exact OEM Samsung firmware for your device. Good thing you included the variant code of your firmware in your original post.
Here is one place you can find the file to download https://www.galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-A127F/
After downloading, extract the zip. A few "tar.md5" files will be inside.
Using instructions from here, flash the original firmware onto your phone.
After reboot, the phone might restart a few times and launch into recovery. If it does, then select "format data" in recovery and reboot.
Phone should be back to factory ready for you to brick again.
Also if you want to try rooting again use patched magsisk
I tried updating my phone manually with a batch file, using the official retail g100 rom, but it wouldn't finish the installation and now my phone is bricked
I updated it several times before using this method but it never gave me any issues until now
is there another way to install the official rom without losing any data or is it better to just switch to a custom rom, and if so, how do I go about doing it?
I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me asap
Can you access fastboot/bootloader mode?
yes
Did you use an old batch file or create a new one for the updated firmware?
If you are using an old one, chuck it and make a new one from the recent firmware. Possibly theres an extra sparse image part in there, that the old batch file isnt flashing.
I tried with a batch file from the previous version and then I created a new batch file but it still didn't work
