Systemless root is developed mainly for Marshmallow.
Latest stock firmware is Lollipop which uses system root.
So if you use custom ROMs like CM13/RR you can use SuperSU 2.78 SR1 (systemless) which works perfectly.
If you stick with latest stock, use old system SuperSU ~v2.4.
Speaking about magisk, it is stated:

Sony devices generally: Haven't investigated why it won't work, if you know any addition quirks about Sony boot image modifications, please contact me

Botched rooting attempt using AndroPlus Kernel please help!

Just bought my first Sony Android device today (been using Samsung up to now).
Managed to unlock the bootloader.
Then tried to flash the Androplus Kernel but did the wrong one so I killed WIFI (not useable anymore).
Restored back to stock state 28.0.A.8.251 using EMMA/FlashTool (Flashed firmware for WIFI model Nordics)
WIFI working but now I get no update notifications over WIFI/OTA(?!?)
Now trying to find a way to update to 28.0.A.8.260 to attempt flashing AndroPlus Kernel/Custom Recovery again.
Have only been able to find FTF for Argentina market.
-- I want to stay on Lollipop 5.0.2 --
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Use flashtool (not the sony Emma) and Xperifirm (there are many more firmware to download) then create a FTF file and flash it
Or try: http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/categories/xperia-z4-tablet-wi-fi.81/

Thanks for your help, I managed to get the correct firmware (though UK version not Nordic) on the tablet and root it successfully with AndroPlus firmware 14. Also installed Xposed Framework v80 with success, though now Sonys Album app, and the stock Sony Camera force closes after I installed Xposed Framework, and I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this issue. I'd like to be able to use these, but if it's not possible I'll just use some other camera app and album/gallery app.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your response! Though the link you provided didn't clue me in very much as to how to deodex system.
I am running Lollipop 5.0.2 (.260 something firmware). Primarily interested in just getting Album app and Camera app that came with the Z4 tablet to work while having Xposed Framework 0.80 installed and running (avoid force closing)

Well for the reason that I don't know if there is such a thing as an Androplus kernel that will allow me to successfully root the tablet running Mashmallow system software instead. It was enough of a pain to finally get the tablet rooted and working the way I like it for me to want to just stay with what works

Check the AndroPlusKernel thread. There is. You can use Titanium Backup or Helium to backup and restore your apps and settings.
Everybody who's been responding, THANK YOU!
For now I don't feel like I want to mess around with updating to the latest Android version on my tablet and re-rooting etc.
So if someone would be so kind as to explain to me how to get the Sony Album app and Sony Camera app deodexed/running with Xposed Framework v80 installed without force closing I would very much appreciate that. I only want to fix that for now, maybe in the future I will look at re-rooting under Android 6.0 but not right now.

Looks like I will have to bite the bullet here was hoping for some instructions for getting just the Album and Camera running on Android 5.0.2, but if that's not doable I will have to look into getting MM and rooting it again.
Question though is where I can find a suitable FTF file with Android MM 32.1.A.1.163 for the SGP712 (WIFI model)?
Or can/should I just:
1) Update firmware from Sony PC Companion then
2) Flash AndroPlus Kernel v20 and then TWRP 2.8.7.0 Touch fixed v2 using fastboot from Windows
3) Then installing SuperSU/Xposed Framework v80 in TWRP as I did with 5.0.2 when rooting that?
Is there any way for me to update to Android MM 32.1.A.1.163 and ensuring a FULL system reset so I know I will get a fresh start?

Seriously BIG thanks for your help with this! Followed the flashtool/xperifirm tutorial you linked to and then flashing and using the kernel/TWRP and Xposed component (v80 sdk23 arm64) that you recommended. Everything now works like a charm, and I am even back on the "Nordic combined" stock ROM image rather than the U.K one that I had to use for Android 5.0.2! And the Sony camera app and album app both work like a charm with no issues!
I'm VERY happy right now!!

For systemless root all you need to do is flash latest SuperSU v2.78 SR1 in TWRP. Make sure your rom is not pre-rooted for it to work. Or no other root method used. Need Marshmallow rom.

Haven't used the above myself because don't want to change to phh's superuser and don't need Magisk.
If you just need xposed (but not systemless) see this thread.
If your trying to use suhide, the above systemless xposed may not work as you need a specific xposed for that.

so basically superSu will be replace by phh su, bro my concern is i have to flash everything (approx 6 zips) everytime after flashing OTA or recovery rom, as they said systemless root or xposed doesnt modify system, so i hope it will be remain in ROM even after flashing recovery ROM or ota, Now i m thinking not to flash beta's everyweek, i m on beta bcoz of MM.
@c_/\/\_k
I believe they would have to be flashed after every update. Not worth the trouble and If it is for "Pokemon Go", i don't believe it works for it anymore.

Getting Magisk an/or systemless root on a H850 with stock N firmware?

Hi,
Is it possible getting magisk or only systemless root on a h850 with stock Nougat firmware?
Tried already flashing Supersu in twrp 3.1 after setting "systemless=true" to /data/.supersu but suhide can't be installed.
Thank you. :good:

Magisk on z4 Tablet, nougat

Hello. Has anyone got Magisk to work? I've installed Magisk in recovery, downloaded Magisk manager, removed su completely. Also turned off debugging, But get safety net fail (cts profile mismatch).
So just wondering if anyone else has it working with z4 Tablet?

I am also trying to get Magisk to work. After flashing Magisk 12.0 it will boot and let me log in with pin code, but after about 10 seconds it will reboot itself. So you have Magisk 12 working without this reboot loop?
Yes it seems to work. No bootloops,
But as mentioned I can't pass safteynet, I guess it's not compitable with the Z4 tab.
Flashed latest version in recovery and downloaded Magisk manager from playstore.
Even 13.3 and some beta works:they install well, but no root...
Is anyone using Magisk on a stock ROM? The latest Magisk version I have got working is 12. Every version after 12 just gives me a bootloop. Has anyone come up with a solution for this?
Thanks!

Didn't make any modifications. Don't have magisk installed anymore.
Support for this amazing tablet is not so good anymore, so I'm thinking of selling it ?

I have tried with clean stock boot.img.
Tried modfied kernel using ta_poc.
tried modified kernel using rootkernel tool. And it works with rootkernel saying yes to all modifications, but the touchscreen is not working....
I am trying to get magisk working on stock .154, the latest one.
Can you remember what stock version you got magisk working?
thanks in advance
FWIW: I have the latest LineageOS on my pollux_windy.
Magisk 16 works fine.

Thanks for the info. I'm tempted to switch to LineageOS but for the battery drain when using WiFi. Is it still bad for you? It was fine for DHGE.
I am not sure to be honest what causes the heating.....
I have removed som apps.... And it is a little bit better, i think that macrodroid has caused some heating.
I still think that stock has less battery consumption when tablet is used.
But stock is much more battery consuming compaired to los when not in use.....
I love los, it is fast.
So maybe you should give it a go and see if you have the same experience as i have.

So, I have the same experience. Battery drain when in use is significantly higher that the stock ROM I was running: 32.2.A.0.305 (Android 6). That was the best one; the 32.4.A.1.54 Android 7 build was a big step back battery wise from what I've heard.
On topic: Magisk is running great on LineageOS, of course.
I have magisk installed on stock 32.4.A.1.54.
I prepared tk kernel using tapoc. After taht i disbaled RIC using rootkernel tool .
And i finally flashed this magisk.zip
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/patched-magisk-v12-sony-devices-t3582331
And updated magisk.
Kind Regards
