Seem like this mod only work with older TA of 14.3.A.0.757 on Z1 C6903
[Sony Cross-Device General] phone.phreak:
I can not find D5803 Z3C model mentioned here. So it will not work on it ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] phone.phreak:
I was trying for D5803, can someone help me getting FW's (tft) with TA partition?
[Sony Cross-Device General] xdomx:
Ok, nobody answered me, so I just tried it. For me it works very well ;) I'm on z1c stock Lollipop .270 (odexed). So thanks for this mod
[Sony Cross-Device General] jacitdm:
RUNNING IN D5322 (T2 ULTRA DUAL) WITH LOLLIPOP !!!!! First of all, lock bootloader and flash 19.1.c.0.116 with TA(4.4.2), after this can flash lollipop (5.0.2) or kitkat (4.4.3) EXCLUDING "TA" ..

With a kernel with recuperation ,flash DRM restore v2.zip,after reflash stock kernel Found in the very flash rom which was last. And that was it ... thanks brothers !!
[Sony Cross-Device General] phone.phreak:
No one replied if its for Z3C D5803 or D6603, so i read the whole thread, each and every post, and found they are both Z3C but with some difference of course which i don't know. Any how the important thing is patch worked on D5803 Z3C :D

i wanted to do the whole thing on LP,without downgrading to kk, so i went for a D5803_23.1.A.1.28 FTF with TA hunt, long story short, its better to stop searching and asking about FTF with TA and simply download the latest ftf from flashtool. It will decompile it automatically after downloading, so make sure u recompile with TA files added.

Before starting transfer DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2.zip to your phone's SD card.

Flashtool:

1. Relock bootloader. (Click BLU button on Flashtool, wait for it to ask to connect phone, connect phone pressing VolDown button, disconnect phone after it relocks, dont let the phone boot)

2. Flash ftf having TA. Wipe:Check All. Exclude:Uncheck All (dont let the phone boot).

3. Unlock bootloader. (click BLU button on Flashtool, wait for it to ask to connect phone, connect phone pressing VolDown button, disconnect phone after it unlocks, dont let the phone boot)

4. Flash Z3C_ADV_stock_LP_v2 kernel . (connect phone in Fastboot mode, VolUP button and connect cable, select fastboot from Flashtool, Flash the kernel to flash, disconnect cable, Reboot into Recovery (VolUP)).

Recovery:

5. Install DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2.zip located in your phone's directory. (root if required)

6. Reboot Normally. First boot can take long time, be patient. Check by opening any picture in gallery, you should see a transition in picture white/color balance. Recheck by disabling X-reality off. You will notice no difference while its off. Try lowlight photos by front and back cams.

Thanks alot team EXRxYKG, you guys are awesome !

P.S. I had already rooted earlier by downgrading to kk, rooting with giefroot_v3 and upgrading to LP, so i had no issues obtaining root when TWRP asked for it.

Spare my bad lingo :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] phone.phreak:
Its a noob question, but can someone tell me if i lost my DRM keys due to Unlocking BL, now If i flash stock fw and lock BL ill lose recovery and root, but is there way to keep x-reality bionz etc features and get Official updates?:rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] komil85:
I guess its not possible. You can relock your bootloader and update through PCC (you will lose recovery/root/drm features), But even if you update your device you don't need to do this whole process again, just flash the drm restoration.zip file after update and the features will be back (my personal experience).
[Sony Cross-Device General] botanicfts:
For me, this method doesn't work. Still is [unknown error] etc. I took some photos on locked bootloader and then unlocked bootloader with this mod (this method with flashing, this drm restore etc). and must say, doesnt work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] phone.phreak:
removed.

Thanks komil. But how can i flash the patch if i don't have recovery?:rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] komil85:
Temporary boot into recovery. The idea came from here http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/ub-root-recovery-busybox-lolipop-t3085479
[Sony Cross-Device General] ticktock666:
I have a couple of questions, and hopefully someone can help me with them :

- I did the whole process : lock, flash .69, boot, unlock, flash .28, flash androplus kernel, flash DRM fix...etc - eventually when I booted into the .28 rom I had DRM keys working, I could tell by the picture quality in camera.

- I then proceeded to restore my nandroid backup, which does not include a TA backup, once done I reflashed the DRM fix again, but once I booted into the system the camera quality was back to crap.

- Then I tried another route : I have a TA backup from before unlocking, so I restored that so my bootloader got automatically locked, I was on Androplus kernel so the device didn't boot, and then I flashed only the kernel from .28 ftf, got the device started (saw Sony logo), powered off, unlocked BL and reflashed androplus kernel, flashed DRM fix from recovery and rebooted, crappy camera quality, ie : no go.

What I want to do is to get the DRM keys but still be able to use my nandroid backup, so is this possible ? I'd hate to reconfigure the device and reinstall all apps again, but is this the only way for me to get the keys ?

Edit 01 : tried to flash only kernel from .28 , relock kernel, but then device won't go past sony logo, I'm confused.... shouldn't the device do a full boot now since Ive relocked and went back to stock kernel ?

edit 02 : of course it won't boot, since I'm on f2fs partitions and the stock kernel has no idea what that is :p

my current idea is to go back to stock kernel on my current rom (which is a deodexed stock rom by me, nothing deleted by some apps frozen), relock bootloader, restore old TA backup and then test camera to see if it works - so was this tried before ? am I simply redoing what others attempted and proved not to work ?

Screen mirorring fix for all who unlocked their bootloader, tested and works great:

Just follow this steps:

1: change /system/etc/wfdconfig.xml

<ContentProtection>

<Valid>1</Valid>

to

<ContentProtection>

<Valid>0</Valid>

2. add below line in /system/build.prop

persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring=1

3. restart the phone
[Sony Cross-Device General] t1than:
It's really works! Thanks!

But do you have stock camera app problem when the device is overheated? It closed by itself
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
how to know it worked for sure, i don't have buzzy things in dark but no screen mirroring feature... thanks

how do i root onetime(i don't want it permanently) thanks

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

i flashed .402 then .28 lollipop and drm fix. working i think
[Sony Cross-Device General] ajbadboy:
Thanks triggaz, finally!!! It really worked!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] sublinker:
I can confirm that this is working perfectly on eXistenZ Y ROM. :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] TechKiel:
Sure thing!

I haven't experienced that issue though. : |

However, I've experienced dire overheating issues when I flashed LP over KK (The processor frequency kept on locking at 1134MHz[min] - 1134MHz[max] when my Z hits 60 degrees Celsius). The problem seems to be resolved after I reflashed LP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] leonmorlando:
You're a boss. It works, but I guess my TV must be bad because phone says "HDTV cannot accept HDCP content" or something like that, and stops streaming when I open ANY apps. What does that even mean?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
do these screenshot count me in as worked? http://imgur.com/a/jMir5
[Sony Cross-Device General] jacitdm:
No...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DavideSony:
Hi guys, I ask you a thing.. If I root my device, I lose the DRM keys on Locked Bootloader? If it is yes, can I restore It with a reinstallation of the Rom? Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] ajbadboy:
Camera fun RA

do you know or anyone how to put camera function "fun RA" working?
[Sony Cross-Device General] t1than:
If u open camera app when Z hits 60 degrees Celcius, it says, " Xperia™ needs to cool down".

But, all's good now. 30 degrees Celcius on standby and 45 degrees Celcius at most.

Thanks bro! keep the good work. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] myrums:
You only loose drm when you unlock your bootloader. No problem to root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eyeyousee:
I guess it's working on my Z2 D6503.

pictures was taken with 10 minutes or more difference.

Look [1st on the left stock 5.0.2] - [2nd the right stock 5.0.2 with drm fix]:
[Sony Cross-Device General] triggaz:
Maybe Your TV is incompatible, did You mirrored before unlocking bootloader?

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I just tried and have the same problem but I don't use it and can live without. Maybe SONY do some magic with next updates :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] eyeyousee:
Here is another sample with a different firmware version [the first sample (the one on top) was a D6503_23.1.A.1.28_R2C_Central Europe 1 firmware].

This time a change my firmware to my local region code which is Nordic [D6503_23.1.A.1.28_Customized_NCB_1282-0508].

NOTE: (In my case) No need to downgrade firmware as long as you have the latest .ftf file with TA partition, the drm fix will still work if done correctly.

here are the new samples [1st on the left stock nordic 5.0.2] - [2nd on the right advstock kernel on nordic 5.0.2 with drm fix]:

Is it possible to retrieve DRM keys from a Z1c ? (D5300) Never make a copy and unlock my bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] triggaz:
No, all DRM Keys ale unique per device but you can restore lost features by this mod.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prerevision:
Thanks, its working perfectly on Z2, but what happens if i reflash KERNEL ONLY from flash tools? without wiping device or rom? just kernel? i don`t want AndroPlus kernel... is it possible? i`ll lost those features?

THanks in ADVC :good: :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] triggaz:
Why using flashtool? You can change kernel from recovery. No features regarding rom will be lost.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prerevision:
i just want full stock kernel, well i hope stock kernel would not terminate DRM again
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
You want stock kernel so why did you unlock your bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prerevision:
when my friend gave me this Xperia, boot was already unlocked with CM 12 installed, i just went to stock and saw camera was not that good as excepted then remembered those DRM keys (i read somewhere Z3 had prob i guess Z2 would too), so i found this post but i do want FULL STOCK kernel now with DRM fix of course :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] triggaz:
I changed kernel couple times after this fix and still had all features working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eyeyousee:
Me too! I just flashed the "BOOTBUNDLE" and "KERNEL", leaving everything intact and x-reality is still working. The DRM Fix goes to the "SYSTEM" I think, so just leave the "System" alone and you'll be fine.

Don't forget to remove the check [deselect] the "APPSLOG" "CACHE' & "DATA" to keep your personal files & apps intact!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prerevision:
Thanks man ! after u flashed this u got some software update? on stock kernel always getting some software update (22mb) but i just flashed kernel, excluded BOOTBUNDLE :D so it might be solution to not get update
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prerevision:
heyy one more question, it will work on 1.28 firmware?
[Sony Cross-Device General] triggaz:
Yes, works ok, but remember to reflash the mod after changing the rom and if you ust flash tool don't Flash TA partition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
since your bootloader's unlocked after these steps, you can't update :)

Is Mirror Link the same feature as Screen Mirroing? I don't think so...
[Sony Cross-Device General] tnciw:
Sorry for a simple quesion

if I have done the introduction on the op

and now I want to change another stock-based rom

should I redo all the step above or I can just simply flash ftf with unticked TA partition and flash the new rom and recovery??

[Sony Cross-Device General] fer2503:
flashed on z1 .108 but doesn't work. i clear only cache, not data
[Sony Cross-Device General] King p1n:
I think people should follow the instructions precisely before reporting it doesn't work e.g. not wiping data when it tells you too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sebi673:
Thanks for the huge fix on my XZ. It worked and I didn't clear data or cache. Question 1, what could happen? No errors to report so far.

Question 2, if I do clear data, can I do a custom restore afterwards on data partition,? Or the restore will bounce the issue back?

Thanks

Has anyone able to get it working on the Z1 compact? I try to do this but i keep getting the error of "CredentialManagerService.apk cannot be deleted", try to delete it from Es file explorer and Astro File manager and still no hope :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] John.D..:
Not even in this case, when all over the instructions (even with a wipe data) it still does not work)at least I did not see that on compact (Z1c/Z3c) earned
[Sony Cross-Device General] 1jkan:
On my Z1c works. I flashed and then I did wipe cache partition and dalvikcache. I did not wipe / data. I had bootlop when I did wipe data.

I'm not sure if there is an effect but photos taken in poor visibility are probably smoother. Smaller seed after magnification.
[Sony Cross-Device General] John.D..:
Very interesting, what firmware are you using?) Maybe I did not get because I on Munjeni ROM? Which kernel you use? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] 1jkan:
I'm on the latest stock firmware .157 (rooted and deodexed). Kernel TWRP. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] NiM72NiK:
i'm on Z1 ihackers 5.2 with trinity v2.9 kernel

deleted the credentialmanager service.apk and rebooted to recovery wiped data and cache, flashed the zip and rebooted to system .

system is up but nothing changed. no Xreality ..

NOT WORKING FOR ME :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] istux:
You have to grant root permission to the file manager in order to delete a file from system partition ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] xerwudjohn:
hi bro. i clearly follow the instruction, but i swear it doesnt work on xperia z2 4.4.4 fw. or maybe i relock my xperia z2 thats why it didnt work?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Papanik:
OK flashed this on my rooted deodexed Z1 (firmware .108) EXACTLY according to the instructions. I think it worked but what could be a good test to make sure it worked?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
Find some pictures that were taken by Yuji Nukui and see the difference to know does X-Reality work.

What do mean by deoxed rom

the ROM on my z2 (d6503) is a prerooted stock rom 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.0.167)

cant i just flash the zip file with/without wiping data?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
i noticed i lost x-reality on existenz y, so i flashed the lollipop fix and it worked. you can try flashing the mod zip too :)

i have a question.....i have flashed stock and restored my TA and my DRM keys are back but i have still noises on my photos...whats wrong? this fix is only for unlocked BL but i want to have my BL locked....
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
Do as said in first post, and dont play with your bootloader you will be fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zocker7:
hmmm ok....when i unlock it again this fix work....but i dont understand why the camera does not work with noise reduction if irestored TA fine and in service menu show all active and ok?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
if your ta partition is fine it should work, by the way it will do the noise reduction to taken photo. so it can be noisy before shooting
[Sony Cross-Device General] zocker7:
yes youre right the stock rom i have flashed has no ta partition now i have downloaded a stock rom with ta partition then rootet restore my own ta and installed a custom rom and now it works wirh locked bl! thx for the tip!:D

[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
Screen mirroring restored for me by modifying files. I dont know what is mirrorlink
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nyuubi:
Please bear with me if my question looks stupid to you !!!

So here's the situation:

I didn't know unlocking the bootloader would remove the DRM keys which would result in the loss of some functionality. And I didn't notice the changes in camera, display, etc... I mean, they mean little to me but since I use my phone (Z1, c6903) a lot for gaming purposes, I'm tempted to restore those lost "assets". I once flashed the *.ftf file once with the TA partition (it was a kitkat!) but I flashed a lollipop ROM (DstrikersZ1 Kai v5.6) afterwards and since I'm lazy and takes a lot of time to make my mind doing repetitive stuffs, I would like to ask if it would be possible to flash this "fix" without negatively affecting my phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
um.. for actually this mod wont doing any negative affect to your phone(or harmless better)as it is light and...it doesn't touch your gaming option unless you open camera :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] Paduretu Ionut:
Hello! After doing all the steps and unlocking the bootloader again , is it ok if I restore my AOSP based rom from recovery then flash the zip?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nyuubi:
I have realized something silly :upon installing my custom rom, I already had these ported from the Z3/Z4 and was actually useless! Thanks for the reply and insight!
[Sony Cross-Device General] temp2010x:
mirrorlink

I speak of this option
[Sony Cross-Device General] cimihendriks:
these are sony features you are bringing back you can't never use these features on anything non-sony based, unless someone ports the features, so flashing the zip won't give you anything, maybe it can give soft-brick
[Sony Cross-Device General] House3272:
How much of the lost functionalities resulting from unlocking the bootloader does this restore?

100%?

(specifically for the Z3c if it makes a difference)
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
The main exclusive features:

X-Reality,Super-Vivid Image engine(picture color enhancement)

BionZ image chip(this process the noise dots when capturing at dark)

Noise Cancelling(you know)

both these function will 100% restored after flashed the zip
[Sony Cross-Device General] House3272:
Will they work for any rom, or just stock?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
Guys i need help from someone please! In the last step: >After done the unlock bootloader, you can flash back your kernel,ROM or else you used previously,but you have to remember flash the mod.zip

every time you flash a new ROM for ensure the mod working....

It means that after doing the last step...Can iflash a lollipop ftf file then root and then install roms with recovery as before?But every time i flash a rom i have to flash and the mod zip? confused!!

[Sony Cross-Device General] Faakarna:
They says error. does that mean that functions like x reality does not work?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
Dude i searched maaaany times and unfortunately i did't find my answer. People say:

1)after jellybean 4.3 update the drm keys are not effected (lost)

2)You can never get them back to work

3)drm keys doesn't affect the camera quality on z1c

4)You can check if camera has affected if you shoot at FULL night and then check the ISO. If it is 6400 the camera haven't been affected by the lost of DRM keys.

You choose! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Red-code:
It's usefull just for DRM backup restore

There is just one way , you should tale screenahots with x-reality
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faakarna:
Thanks for answer. Should i take a screenshot with and without x reality, and then see if There is Some difference?
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
1)For Sony always do something weird,you know it.

2)yes unless you have backup your TA partition

3)Yes but the background picture process and BionZ are affected, so means if you lose DRM, you can capture the lousier picture you ever seen.

4)is your Z1C Bootloader unlocked and no TA partition backed up?if yes, please try it. If no, look at the comment :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faakarna:
can anyone provide me with links for the ftf files for my sony xperia z2 d6503? In the guide it says i need .69 ftf and .960 ftf. But i find it hard to find these specific files. On the XDA site, with stock Xperia firmwares - a lot of the ftf files is witout TA, and then they are useless.?!
