TESTED MODEL: HTC desire 820U [ A51_DTUL & IMEI was registered from China ]
I myself was suffered from this problem since some weeks on my new Smartphone HTC desire 820U.
I was sick of trying to flash Custom ROMs ,OTA, restore TWRP backup of lollipop but all throw some different errors.
After a Many days Test I came back to the result which is as follows & test was made on my rooted HTC desire 820U
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
READ THIS FOR PRODCT VER,CID & MID INFO
-Before you download or install firmware
- Check bootlodder & look for Product Ver Region like eg: "A51_DTUL" | eg: "A51_UL" etc
- Look for you CID
- Look for you MID like eg:"0PFJIMG" | Your's could be "ABCDEF" or what ever | While renaming & hitting command follow you own name respectively
- If your device is S-ON then both modelid and cidnum must match
- MODELID = eg. 0PFJIMG & CID =eg. 1111111111 [ check urs ]

fastboot devices
6) type in:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
! You can rename twrp image to twrp.img or something shorter if you want.

ROOT
Some apps need more permissions than normal. You can compare root with administrator rights on windows.
1) download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.67.zip
2) copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.67.zip to your internal memory
3) enter TWRP
4) click Install
5) navigate through folder structure
6) tap UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.67.zip
7) "Swipe to confirm flash"
8) reboot
RESTORE DRM KEYS
Unlocking the bootloader disables a partition on your phone where software keys are saved. Without this keys xReality, BIONZ, audio processing arent available. This program will restore this features.
! Take a look if xReality is already working before installing DRM keys.
1) download DRM RESTORE (drmrestore.zip) from download section
2) copy drmrestore.zip to your external sd card
3) enter TWRP
4) click Install
5) navigate through folder structure
6) tap drmrestore.zip
7) "Swipe to confirm flash"
8) reboot
! Unfortunately, there is no way to save the original TA partition at the moment.

Thanks for quite a nice guide.
I have done rooting on various devices but this seems to be most complicated ever. [emoji14]
Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk
It has been before this guide. Basically what I did was unlocking the bootloader, booting recovery, flashing kernel, flashing root, wipe, restore DRM fake, done.
Firmware wasn't necessary for me and I've made bad experiences with alternate firmwares / radios and so on in the past.

Actually there is no need for it, imho. The fake DRM keys are doing a really good job. X-reality back, after picture processing back. It's also currently not possible to backup them afaik.

Yes and no. You need a different kernel and mybe recovery. Everything else is the same. I will include a link in my guide if I find a working kernel.

For now, you have to unlock your bootloader to gain root access. There is no other method at the moment. So in conclusion: locked bootloader = no root.

I was not blaming, I didn't know that you updated today. Would be great in future if you do any update, add the date and following update.
Thank you.
One thing I noticed while reading your guide was TWRP is not for E6683. Will there be any problem? I haven't yet tried your guide because I was in doubt.

The new Kernel from monx includes TWRP, so you dont need to flash Recovery...normally. I know that my guide works, but only for E6653. I included a link for E6683, but I also wrote that I cant try it because I havent a Z5 E6683. Anyway, TWRP for E6653 should work for E6683 devices. The main difference is the Kernel.
Guys, what about E6633 ? Is it really bad ?

You can try it at your own risk. Someone said that it will work, but I would be careful.

You also need SuperSU from this thread
2. Enter into fastboot mode and run these commands in same folder you downloaded 1.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-E6883-20151130_material.img
fastboot reboot
3. Press volume key when LED is on

Hi all,
I'm happy to share with you an updated guide on how to root the Xperia XA.
This guide is Only for Nougat (Android 7.0), for Marshmallow (Android 6.0) it's here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...ia-xa-noob-t3430170/post67988142#post67988142
## How to root the Sony Xperia XA
The Sony Xperia XA is a midrange smartphone with a bezeless design. It has adequate specs and run Android aptly. These aspects make this phone a great daily driver, however the Sony stock Android is plagued with trashware and all the hurdles Android itself has several privacy problems.
By rooting the phone one can circumvent these limitations. You will be able to install the Xposed framework, improve sound with Viper4Android, block hosts, install dns-crypt and improve overall customability. In the follwing sections I will present the steps to root your phone.
But before proceeding a word of caution (or why you wouldn't like to root your phone):
1. Unlocking your BootLoader will void your warranty, break your device DRM and lose X-Reality and image optimisation on low light when taking pictures.
2. You can save your DRM keys (TA backup) by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-dirtycow-based-ta-backup-t3514236. You have to do it BEFORE unlocking the bootloader, fro this you need to downgrade to an old Marshmallow firmware, for now you can't root AND restore your backup.
3. You can re-lock your phone and it will restore DRM if you have a backup but you lose root and recovery.
4. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device (factory reset)
5. If you have confidential files in your phone don't unlock your bootloader, as long as your phone is locked your data are officially secured.
6. Make a full backup of your personnal data before following this guide.
## Method
1. Find out whether if you bootloader can be unlocked, which is needed to proceed. Type: *#*#7378423#*#* then choose Service info ---> Configuration ---> Check for "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes". At this point if the phone has No or any other answer at the screen you shouldn't porceed as rooting will be impossible.
2. Download XA ADB and Fastboot drivers: https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/
3. Download FLASHTOOL with integrated Xperifirm 0.9.23.2 for Windows, note that you can also use it to unlock your
bootloader(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php) DON'T USE AN OLDER VERSION OF FLASHTOOL AND DOWNLOAD FIRMWARES FROM THE
INTEGRATED XPERIFIRM
4. Follow the official Sony instructions for getting the unlock code from [here](https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/). Further paste the code in BLU menu of Flashtool. You can also find video instructions [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lKWd5LlUoA).
5. Download the proper files for your phone version/variant:
Magisk Manager apk package: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/topjohnwu/magisk-manager/
For XA single sim = F3111, F3113, F3115
TWRP recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/development/f3111-f3113-f3115-twrp-recovery-xa-t3639206
Boot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...3111-f3113-f3115-stock-kernels-built-t3573119
For XA dual sim = F3112,F3116
TWRP recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...3112-f3116-twrp-recovery-xa-dual-sim-t3638725
Boot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...12-f3116-stock-kernels-built-sources-t3526496
6. Power off the phone and flash ONLY "BOOT_DELIVERY" from a Marshmallow firmware with Flashtool ( exclude all other patitions), you must only see
"boot_delivery.xml" in the "Content" column.
7. Power off the phone again and enter the phone in Fastboot mode (when power off, hold Vol+ and plug the phone). The led should be blue.
8. Copy the downloaded boot and recovery to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" and rename them to boot.img and recovery.img, if you computer is not set to show file extentions remane them
without .img at the end
9. Flash recovery and boot with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" commands and then delete them.
10. Unplug the phone, hold "Vol-" and "Power" buttons. Release all buttons after phone vibrate.
11. You are in TWRP recovery, on password prompt press "Cancel"
12. On next screen press "Swipe to allow".
13. Format "userdata" partition to remove internal encrytion for restoring TWRP backups/acces of /data partition, go to "wipe" and tap "format data". If you don't this your phone will
bootloop on Xperia logo. Don't forget to backup your personnal data before !!
14. Reboot to Android (it will takes about 10 minutes) and follow instructions until you are on the Home screen.
15. Install Magisk Manager apk package from the given link, you have to enable "Unknown sources" in the security menu before.
16. Open Magisk Manager and tap "Download" at the bottom, wait until you see download complete and reboot to recovery.
17. Go to "Install" and select "Magisk-vX.XX.zip" located in /sdcard/magisk manager, swipe to intall.
18. Power off the phone again and repeat step 6 with your actual Nougat firmware or the phone will not detect Sim Card(s)
19. Reboot the phone.
20. Tap the "Thanks! :good:" button at the bottom right of this post, optionally you can offer me a coffee/beer/tea or energy drink to support my work, my PayPal adress is in my profil.
21. Your phone is rooted
## Conclusion
After these steps your phone should be rooted and you will be able to have root access to the system. This tutorial comes with no garanties that it will work and the author does not take any responsibility for you bricking your device. Also, installing third party files are a security liability, you should be aware of that. If you don't follow exactly the guide you will probably brick your phone.
Despite these issues, rooting the Xperia XA has been confirmed to work on Single and Dual Sim.
Open source archive has been released...
Could we have a nougat boot.img? Because sony has released open source archive.
Thanks:laugh:
Actually, you can use flashtool 9.23.1, but remember to download the 9.23.2 jar file and copy to flashtool folder (overwrite).
Also, if you know how to input adb command, you can enter bootloader using the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Hopefully the version of XA Ultra will be released.

I'm on nougat 33.3.A.0.131 f3116
In 9 th step u have mention boot delivery, i cant understand.
Where to find BOOT_DELIVERY
Is Boot delivery of marshmallows (33.2.B.3.81) and nougat (33.3.A.127) compatible for nougat 33.3.A.0.131. Because I have marshmallows and nougat firmwares(ftfs) only that versions.

I dont underdtand
OK, I will explain a little more the step 9.
You must have 2 Firmwares in Flashtool:
1st is your actual Nougat firmware
2nd is a Marshmallow firmware, I used 33.2.B.4.70 for my F3112 but you can probably use an older.
When you are on step 9, open Flashtool and load the Marshmallow firmware. When you are on the screen to choose parts to flash with boxes to check and uncheck. You have to check all boxes on the up and down right columns, only the "BOOT_DELIVERY" is uncheck in the upper right column. If it's OK you should see only one line in the "Content" column: "boot_delivery.xml". Now clic on "flash" button at the bottom right, if Flashtool asks for using fsc script, clic "yes". You will have to do the same at step 17 but with your actual Nougat firmware.
It's very important to use the last Flashtool version 0.9.23.2 and download firmwares from the included Xperifirm or you will probably have problems or brick.
Edit: I will add files for Single Sim very soon so you don't have to ask for them
In step 17 - Can i flash nougat (33.3.A.127) boot delivery. Xml on nougat 33.3.A.0.131?

You flashed boot_delivery for the same firmware? (you asked for using a different one).
You formated Data partition in TWRP?
On the Xperia logo you waited how many time?

Yes i also faced the same issue.
Try changing the name from boot.img to boot
And recovery.img to recovery.
And enter the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
It worked for me.
