though you can temporary boot into recovery with fastboot method.

I have a probleme :( my xperia z c6603 is from oronge and i have bootloared allowed (no) how to solve this please can i open my bootloared????????
[Sony Cross-Device General] rinkulsk:
can u help me out the ****? pm me bro plz
[Sony Cross-Device General] komil85:
I tried to pm you but for some reason it didn't work.

So if you want to temporary boot into recovery then extract boot.img from any cm11 rom and boot it with "fastboot boot boot.img" , press volume button to enter into recovery mode. (idea came from here http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/ub-root-recovery-busybox-lolipop-t3085479)

See this guide on how to use fastboot mode with android sdk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

I unlocked my bootloader through official sony website, can't seem to relock it with Flashtool.

Is it a problem becuase of the way I unlocked it? If so, I still want the functions, how to still get them?

Really want those features back. First Xperia phone, didn't know what would happen if unlocked bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
why to relock?first try trackID.You probably see that it doesn't work.Also take a picture at night. You will see a lot of noise like blue and green dots. Then just flash from recovery the DRMfix. zip and check again. i did that way and everything works.

****ty camera quality

Hi, I have a Xperia z1. I followed this guide, and I think I have done it correctly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFaHi3cCXjY

I downloaded the right firmware, the 5.1.1 update for my country

(Note that this guide states that you should exclude the .ta files when making a tft file in Flashtool)

Although the quality of pictures is still really ****ty. Just look at the example attached, which is shoot with a 100 % stock Xperia and my unlocked one. Track ID is working, so is X-reality it seems.

Does anyone know what's wrong? This is driving me crazy, cuz the pictures is practically unusable, even for Snapchat..

QUICK AND DIRTY WAY FOR DRM FUNCTION RESTORE

Requirements

* Flashtool 0.9.18.6

* Unlocked Bootloader

* A stock (or stock based) rom with custom kernel that has TWRP recovery (be on it before you start)

* A KitKat *.ftf that has fota-reset.ta and cust-reset.ta. (Use Xperifirm to download if possible) NOTE if the ftf has simlock.ta included, REMOVE IT

* DRM Restore zip on your SD Card. (In the OP. Download the version according to the rom you are on)

Procedure

*Re-lock bootloader with flashtool

* Flash kk *.ftf with the following settings. -Wipe APPSLOG and CACHE. (Don't wipe DATA). Exclude everything but TA. Enable reset customization.

* Unlock bootloader with flashtool.

* Reboot, enter TWRP recovery before system boots up and flash DRM restore zip.

* Reboot, done.

DRM features are back, with the exception of screen mirroring. I will post a definitive fix for that later.

Edit: This method works on Z3. It may or may not work on other Xperia devices.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rbrandser:

Hi, I tried to rock on custom kernels :silly: so I followed this:

Quote:

Hello, don't know if you already solve your problem, but here is the tutorial once more and link to files I use.

WHAT YOU WILL ONLY NEED:

- Windows 7/8 and Flashtool http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

- .77 (KitKat) Firmware, download it with Flashtool software. I use 23.0.1.A.5.77 Branding 3_SE

- .690 Firmware, download it with Flashtool software. I use 23.0.1.A.0.690 Branding Telenor_SE

- DRM LP fix in your SD card (DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2) https://www.mediafire.com/?hb4zjkrwzo7kabm

- Androplus LP ADV Kernel (I used Z3_ADV_stock_LP_v2) http://dl.androplus.org/Xperia Z3%...3_D6653_D6643/

Be sure to have the LP DRM FIX in your SD card prior to flashing stuff.

- If your Bootloader is UNLOCKED, LOCK IT (Relock).

- Don't turn it on. If somehow it turns on, hard turn off it by holding VOL UP and POWER until it vibrates 3 times.

- Flash the .77 with Flashtool (IMPORTANT! Make sure it have TA).

You're back to .77 (KitKat)

- Let it boot till the language selection screen.

- Power it off.

Now you will be going to Lollipop with old TA features, plus a custom kernel so you can use Recovery.

- UNLOCK your bootloader now and:

- Flash the .690 FTF checking the "TA" box. Which means you are EXCLUDING the TA partition from .690 in order to keep the .77's. This is where the magic lies!

- Now you will be on Lollipop firmware.

- Right after flashing it, flash the Androplus ADV LP kernel (Z3_ADV_stock_LP_v2). That means you are going to get Recovery functions <- I use Fastboot mode https://www.sendspace.com/file/ju13h3

- Right after flashing the kernel, access the Recovery screen (holding VOL UP/DOWN when the Z3's led is purple) and FLASH the DRM Fix which should be in your SD card.

- DO NOT install SuperSU when asked (I didn't install with mine), reboot to System and there you go.

but I have some questions. After I have done those things, can I just use twrp to wipe and install custom roms? Will it kills these DRM stuffs? If so, can anyone guide me the correct steps?

I have tried a couple of times but the front camera still have those pink noises eventhough my trackid worked.

Oh, I'm on Z3 D6653 and the firmwares I used are 1. D6603 .77 Claro PE (kitkat) 2.D6603 .690 Claro CR (lollipop) <<< I'm not sure if these have TA partition or not but the kitkat one has MISC TA

Flashtools 0.9.19.3

I attached the screenshots of firmware files and how I checked the boxes in flashtools. Am I missing something or I have been doing incorrect steps?

I'm really bad at explanation so I'm sorry and I hope you all understand.

Thanks in advance!

Can this be ported to Z5 and Z5 Compact?
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
This is a announcement comment from the team EXR&HS

~Started from Xperia z3+(more accurate is 64bit processor with only lollipop firmware released)will be not able to use the mod as 64 bit and LP are difficult to find the trick to get back the DRM function.

This include Xperia:Z3+(aka Z4),TZ4(Tablet Z4),Z5 premium, Z5 , Z5 compact

Not confirmed: Xperia C5 ultra, M5

-----------------------—-------------

~for the device whIch will get marshmallow (Android 6.0)

Included: Xperia z2,TZ2,Z3,Z3C,TZ3C

Not confirmed: except the included device, please look at Sony A6.0 release devices

Please remind that when official 6.0 update is available, do not Flash the Drm zip first as the team will need to update the DRM contact for A6.0 as when A5.0 release. we will do the updates as fast as we can.

Thanks to you for using the DRM mod, we are happy to see that we can help lots of people get their own function back even unlock BL.

Thanks again

The best

Will it work that way?

As you say you are on eXistenZ 4.0.0 and everything works why you want the stock? You are on stock based rom to...

My steps.

1.Flash with flashtool 17.1.a.2.69 instructions in first page.

2.Then i follow this

http://techbeasts.com/2015/04/16/ro...-0-726-5-0-2-lollipop-firmware-plus-recovery/ to update on 23.0.1.A.0.167 to do root and recovery.

3. And with this tool - - - > http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 dowload the 23.4.A.1.232

4.With this tool - - - > http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904 i create the preroot with recovery 23.4.A.1.232 with no TA on zip.

5.Flash the new zip "23.4.A.1.232" from recovery and after that reboot to recovery and the last step

6.flash the drm fix from here...

Note that you have to watch the photo (chose one with "blue sky") for 1-3 seconds - If nothing changes than stuff do not work.

You will see the difference - Especially if you switch between OFF and Super Vivid.

Sure? I have 12800 ISO in complete darkness - 6400 is too less for (real) dark room.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
You can make it more simple.go to anyone photo instide stock only sony album and open it quickly. look carefully especially the dark-grey areas.if in 2-3 seconds the colour change itself to more dark...congrats it works!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Thorstenk:
I am not interested in the colour enhancement (for the sony album). I just want the noise cancelation for the camera ...

When I take a picture in complete darkness its going to 12800 which is the highest value for our z3 compact, but from my point of view this is definitely not an indicator for working noise cancelation!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
look.i think that with DRM fix zip all these lost functions are restored simultanuosly.if you have much noise try shooting on 4:3 and with 8mp.especially in dark shots 20mp and 16:9 gives lots of noise!
[Sony Cross-Device General] fluffi444:
As far as I know there is no "proof" that it works or not. No entry in file nor anything compareable.

Only to compare picture quality before and after is the way.

But it was reported many times that if picture enhancement of sony album works, the noise reduction of camera works also.

[Sony Cross-Device General] maninder singh bali:
Dont ever unlock the bootloader. the camera will get worse and this drm fix doesn't get back the same camera quality as the original locked bootloader. It successfully gets back the X-Reality display feature bt not the camera quality. So dont unlock the bootloader..
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
More like unlock the bootloader if you want to but make sure to backup the DRM keys/TA Partition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] maninder singh bali:
Yeah this is the only save to save the camera quality of sony phones.. **** sony ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Backup TA requires root. Root on Z3+/Z5 requires unlocked bootloader. Catch 22....
[Sony Cross-Device General] maninder singh bali:
On z1c it doesn't require root to backup TA.
[Sony Cross-Device General] drummerjames:
I thought the thing that changes is the noise reduction in low light camera pictures, a feature that Sony tied together with a DRM key. The UB removes the DRM keys and removes just the low light noise reduction (Sony is the only one with the 12800 iso (which is used only when the is lowlight but comes at the price of high noise)) The DRM was specially made by sony for their good iso and noise reduction. This mod fixes that. So if I apply the mod to my phone the photos I take in low light will be like the locked bootloader? Am I wrong somewhere?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kos25k:
with the test many people say,i came to the conclusion that yes is like you never unlocked your bootloader. if an expert can help us..we finally have to figure this out!

You dont need Ta partition if you want restore Drm.Simply flash drm restoration file from recovery and you will have original Sony functions like sharp images(Bionz)X reality engine etc.

Ofcourse that procedure is only for Z,Z1,Z2 and Z3.
