Possible for Unlocked Version to be Flashed with T-Mobile Software?

Really Really like the Copper Color! Is there a Snowball chance in hell to Flash T-Mobile Software onto an Unlocked international version? (The Main Reason is that I have to have WIFI Calling due to my area of coverage)

Thank you for any help!

What does this mean exactly? Does it mean we can root and back up drm key? Will we loose the low light algorithm? What exactly do those 2 apps do(what function is lost when disabling them)? If this means we can back up drm keys could we flash back stock ftf and regain "warranty"?

guys just flash this to create backup of the new update 23.0.1.A.5.77 after creating flash the original boot on xperia flash tool to solve the wifi issue

Ok So let me get this straight.

Download Zipalighn path

http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/stock-4-4-4-20-0-2-93-deodexed-t2890987

delete DrmDialogs.apk and DrmUI.apk from zip and add theese lines to update-script to make sure its deleted

delete("/system/app/DrmDialogs.apk");
delete("/system/app/DrmDialogs.odex");
delete("/system/app/DrmUI.apk");
delete("/system/app/DrmUI.odex");

and push to phone

download su zip and push to phone .

http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

go to settings/aplications/all and disable DrmDialogs and DrmUI

Unlock Bootloader

flash boot

reboot to recovery dont boot into oem(is there a way to garenty reboot to recovery? like adb reboot recovery)

flash modified deodex patch zip

flash su

reboot and the drm protected features like Noise canceling in camera , bravia engine ect are still working?

sorry i just want to make sure before performing an unlock because I dont want to have the best smartphone camera and not be able to take as good pictures as stock.

What? Flash to create backup of 23.0.1.A.5.77, then after creating flash the orginal? Then what?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nolihowell:
Xperia Z3

what i meant to say my friend was flash this twrp recovery just to generate a recovery for the new firmware and then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img that comes with the firmware to fix the wifi issue. Id hope its clear for you now
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Dirtyzecrets:
Yes I found out now, can just do this until they release a updated kernel with recovery, and install that then :)

Or is that a bad deal?

EDIT: Not the best solution, can not use Titanium Backup and delete apk, without them coming back after a restart. Yeah, this solution works but we need the recovery to be updated to work perfect with root and everything :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] nolihowell:
Xperia Z3 D6603

bro can you plz add support for 23.0.1.A.5.77 when i tried to flash the current twrp recovery the wifi isnt working anymore
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] slipsystem:
Ok so disabling DRM and Deleting it before you boot into oem doesnt seem to work.

if I dail *#*#7378423#*#* and go to

Service Test

Security I get unknown error in the first three lines.

so I am guessing that my DRM keys are lost.

I did however notice something.

I unlocked my bootloader and straight away flashed bootimg and booted in recovery before booting os.

what I noticed is after I flashed my DRM remover zip and flashed SU I rebooted into os to find that before os booted there was a little progress bar like you will get when wiping data.

so my theory is just after recovery light it will start to wipe data and remove drm keys.

so this means I have a theory of how to get it to work if someone is willing to try. and please it is only a theory dont take my word on it.

First

unlock bootloader and dont reboot

flash boot

reboot and press vol up key repeatedly to boot into recovery.

make a back up of TA partiton(I was stupid and didnt try this)

reboot system it will then begin to wipe drmkey and data

once the system boots

reboot to recovery again and restore TA partition.

now I dont know if this will work as I notice if you boot into Recovery straight after unlocking the bootloader it fails to mount data.

so what could be happening is after unlocking bootloader it denies you access to TA and DATA because it is preparing to wipe those partitions after you exit Recovery.

I hope this makes sense as English is my first language but I have problems with writing what I want to say.

This video might help you. The model used is D6653 but for the latest fimware(23.0.1.A.5.77), the kernel image is just the same as the D6603.

There are also some troubleshooting in the video that might help you including bootloader unlocking and adb driver installation.

I spent a lot time read a lot related with flashing, recovery, root, etc this few days...

Very helpless... I manage to done all the steps, but function not yet solved....

I using D6653_Customized MY_1288-5510_23.0.1.A.5.77_R9B downloaded from the flashtool....

I really do hope someone help me... I can't find out what the meaning the developer's tutorial & can't post any reply's question on the developer forum... & I swear follow completely with the guide already...

What mine question:

(1) Where can I get "ftf with TA that released by some of the awesome users to let z3 works"

(2) "FLASH THE DRM ZIP AFTER YOU FLASHED THE ROM THAT YOU USED ATM!"

What mean by ATM??
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Greynet:
I used XperiFirm(just google it) to download the latest firmware for my device. The program will automatically unpack it for you and you can find 2 .ta files inside the downloaded folder (fota-reset.ta and cust-reset.ta). In flashtool go to Tools -> Bundles -> Create and select the folder with the firmware. Move everything on the folder list in the left side to the right including the .ta files and create the ftf. i think that's the 'FTF with TA partition'.

However, I read in another post that flashing another ta backup besides yours will brick your phone so please proceed cautiously and correct me if i'm wrong.

Hello , you can make the change to the version 23.0.1.F.0.96 to D6633
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] mionica:
Root on D6633 updates:

flash D6633_23.0.F.1.74

root it with giefroot

install a recovery of your choice (either from this thread, or NUT's)

download the desired firmware FTF (23.0.1.F.0.96 is the latest, btw) with FlashTool

create a prerooted update.zip using PRFCreator

get /system back as R/W as described here - using the files from the giefroot package

Note, this is essentially the method described by meetdaleet here, so I take no credit for it; I simply re-branded it for D6633 :)

EDIT: this method works for both LB and UB. I posted it here just to point out that even if you're UB, you can use this method to get the latest update before a suitable kernel+recovery is made officially available (assuming you want to have matched kernel/system, like I do :) ).

Strictly for UB, giefroot rooting / recovery installing (steps 2/3) can certainly be replaced simply flashing the boot.img provided in this thread. The method above only makes sense during the time between a new update appearing and a kernel+recovery package being released here for that kernel version.

Also. You need a rooted firmware and recovery installed, to be able to use this method; obviously, when the next update pops up, you won't have to go back to 23.0.F.1.74 if you already have rooted 23.0.1.F.0.96.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] gregbradley:
This is an UB thread. In this case there is no need for that. Just flash an insecure kernel and flash SuperSU, that's it.

Go on the Sony website you can do it there, but you need to back up the DRM keys (or something very similar) before unlocking the bootloader.
