This Tutorial/Guide is to install Magisk in Sony Xperia M4 Aqua. Tested in E2303
You need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER and this TWRP (Download TWRP 3.2.1-0) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-3-1-1-0-t3636920).
Steps:
0.Remove any other root (SuperSU or Magisk) and Xposed. Make sure you have stock Sony Kernel.
1.Download BootBridge-Magisk-v14-M4A.zip
2.Boot TWRP (Volume DOWN + Power).
3.Flash BootBridge-Magisk-v14-M4A.zip
4.Reboot to system and update Magisk Manager (if needed)
5.Check "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity", update to latest Magisk using "Direct Install", reboot and check SafetyNet.
6.(Optional) Install Systemless Xposed (don't forget Xposed Installer) and reboot. It takes 5 min to boot. (Android 6.0 = SDK 23) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268).
Systemless Xposed does not pass SafetyNet!!!

Well so as the father that I am I have promised him I would look in to it. Well what do we need to do to get back to Sony stock ROM. I could only find FTF files for 5.0, and also I dont have a windows computer, only linux. Is there any .zip files with the original system on that kan be flashed thru twrp?

Use XperiFirm to download MM rom and flash it via FlashTool. It has CDA 1293-7731/Customised CH/26.3.A.0.131.
Enter the following lines once per computer:
$ sudo apt-get install mono-complete
$ sudo cert-sync /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
$ sudo certmgr -ssl -m https://software.sonymobile.com
(Enter Y when asked, you should be asked to do so twice)
Enter the following line to launch XperiFirm:
$ mono XperiFirm.exe

Can't install phh's root or xposed on E2306. Flashing goes fine, but magisk manager says they are not installed.
EDIT: I was using with DOWN twrp instead of UP, now everything works.

When you are in TWRP can you find bootlog-magisk.txt or fstab.kanuti in the File Explorer?

I can see the fstab.kanuti but not the magisk one. Eventhough in teh cache folder I see some magisk.log files. Also since I tried to use the e2303 boot image I am having LTE speed problems, I tried to fix it by flashing stock images and the boot image for e2306 In this post.

You are in wrong recovery (both are TWRP).
1.Turn off your phone
2.Turn it on
3.When you can see a yellow led press volume UP button and find bootlog-magisk.txt
PD: It is in / folder

---

Work fine on E2363 , boot take almost 20 minutes here but no problem after that , thank you

---

Not working on My E2312. I flashed to stock ftf file and installed recovery and flashed boot.img. And then, I did Wipe cache and dalvik, flashed Magisk Zip, phh's SuperUser ZIP and xposed systemless zips. Flashing is fine and seem no error. After install Magisk Manager APK and phh's SuperUser apk, I opened Magisk Manager apk and it displayed Boot version: Magisk v6, Root Status : Unrooted, selinux status: Enforcing and can't use root toggle. Please help me!

Oh. I can't belive how I missed it, now magisk, xposed and root mounting works. Thank you!

How's the performance? And will you be posting any (frequent maybe?) updates (OTA)

---

@99poison Can you try this boot? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7sssTaAqVssd0cxUUpXc2JZV28/view?usp=sharing @JakeMini123 Performace should be like PiSpecialist's root boot.img. About OTAs I can't understand you but all magisk updates should work.

Finally, it working for me. Problem is TWRP recovery ( I entered wrong twrp by pressing volume down + power button).
Problem solve >> I flashed your modified boot.img and Power off phone. To enter your twrp recovery, when Power on, I pressed volume up button when light is yellow color and I did your procedures. Now, my phone is system-less and root is also OK.
Thank you so much,
99poison

---

BTW, Pokemon working only when Xposed system-less is disabled otherwise it can't work with Magisk.

---

i cannot enter to the fastboot mode in the e2306. could you explain me how could I do it? I tried to flash magisk with the traditional TWRP, but my phone doesn't start, so I had to repair it using sony companion.

---

Try to flash your boot.img via FOTA-TWRP(normal recovery).
First put Magisk-E2306.img in your EXTERNAL SD.
When you are in TWRP main menu, go to Install, select Install Image, go to your external sd, press Magisk-E2306.img, select Flash BOOT and reboot
