Can you check files for Z4 Tablet and mod them if you can apply patch like one for Z ~ Z3?

DRM related files:

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Tried the steps still no result. This time round it was kinda strange since unlocking the bootloader did not wipe the internal sdcard (using Flashtool).

Should also mention that I always unticked wipe appslog and data options before flashing the FTF's.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
if you flash to CM it will cause a great bootloop for you :D

except,you install the sony framework plug in to it :)

DRM mod are used in Unlocked bootloaders only :P

Ok thanks for the resource, I will take a look on it ;)

I made a great changes to my Z1 :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] evildog1:
i did root exploit on kitkat and upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 pre-rooted with custom recovery. i still have original DRM keys
[Sony Cross-Device General] rinkulsk:
this mod is awesome all problem solved thanks team
[Sony Cross-Device General] komil85:
But you have to wipe everything when flashing ftf for this mod to work. BTW unlocking bootloader for the first time only will wipe internal memory.

[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:

[Sony Cross-Device General] 2010matej:
Does 5.1 stock rom has drm function, even if i have unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] julianbl:
How did you do it???

What i did was:

1) relock

2) flash .77 (with TA)

3) Unlock and flash 23.4.A.0.546 (without TA)

4) Flashed boot.img

5) in restore, flash drm restore v2

boot... and I see it's not working...

Thanks!

Can someone help me with this please I am using z3

Please let me know how can I do it. Becuase I cant find. 77 firmware for India with ta partition.

Although I do have version. 46 but I dont know if it has ta partition.

If I try to download from flashtool I can find the latest 5.1.1, will I be able to do with lollipop?

Can this work with CM?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Isley_:
No, this is only for stock ROM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Red-code:
worked for me on cm11 and cm12.1

note: cm should be your secondary rom using multirom

:eek: sounds great. thanks for the Information!

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted and installed Nut's TWRP recovery already. Have I completely lost my TA Partition/DRM Keys or can I factory reset it with Sony PC Companion and get TA Partition/DRM Keys back?
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
Sorry Theres no way back. Your original DRM keys are gone forever. :(

But you can use this mod to get a better cam quality.

You can check with *#*#service*#*# under security info how your Key state is....

Good luck!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Shamoy:
But at the front page this mod says it doesn't work unless you restore your TA partition. If I flash the lollipop restore DRM keys ZIP file will I get all features back that I lost? Will X-Reality/Super Vivid work in the Album app and will I get my camera quality back?
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
things you need for a complete factory restore (afaik)

the stock FW where u made your TA backup from (with LOCKED!!! bootloader)

the TA backup zip (from locked bootloader)

unlike you got these 2 files you cant go fully back to stock...

u CANT use TA backup of other phone then your

u CANT get back your original DRM in ANY way after unlocking bootloader without TAbackup -not with this thread -nor with black magic!

please correct me when im wrong.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Shamoy:
I'm gonna try a Sony PC Companion hard reset to see if I can get back my DRM keys and TA partition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
I tell you again.

If you unlocked your bootloader without TA backup BEFORE unlock.

DRM keys matching your device are GONE FOREVER.

Dump device on ebay and buy a new one ....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cirra92:
If you didn't make a backup before unlocking your bootloader, there is simply NO WAY to get them back, EVER, so you shouldn't bother with PC Companion really. Instead, try using this patch to regain lost functions, that's the point of DRM keys/this patch anyways.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Growly_:
Hi question, can i do this method re-lock BL go back to stock ROM with no recovery nothing and DRM keys will show as active?
[Sony Cross-Device General] snaky90:
with this mod audio quality also recovers ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
YES and Elefants get Pink and fly!

This mod is for:

>Reactivate X-Reality,Super Vivid Engine

>Reactivate Noise cancelling

>Reactivate the picture noise that will appear in dark situation( BionZ)

>Reactivate the red-green noise that appear in dark capturing

you see any Audio enhancements there ? No ?

i would also like to know what key state this mod brings you.

Can someone post a screenshot of his security info after doing the mod ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] _mysiak_:
No change in security menu, keys are still shown with error. There is no way to restore them or show as fully active without TA backup.
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
thanks dude for the info.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Shamoy:
I will just wait for Xperia Z6 then and make sure when I buy it I backup my TA Partition. 810 is the only thing that's stopping me from getting the Z5.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Unknown_2517:

your DRM zip file worked on latest LP 14.5.A.0.270 & 14.5.A.0.283 of Z ULTRA C6802 without need to install old 14.3.A.0.757 first.

i followed your guide installed .777 but unfortunately when i clicked on blu nothing happened.

Guys, anyone can give me a custom rom thats work with this patch, or at least if there is no custom rom , can u guys point me in some newest rom (international rom) that works with patch? THanx alot , and sorry for nubish questions.
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I understood correctly. With this patch I can have a unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel without losing those Sony features?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sublinker:
Exactly my friend.

E.g I'm using androplus kernel with unlocked BL. And with this mod all features are working fine.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Check my signature, working fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Thorstenk:
Is this how the DRM stuff should look like after doing the restoration procedure? Or do the first three lines indicate that something isn't working like it should?

T.
[Sony Cross-Device General] x-mann:
Is this noise after instaling DRM file ? Ty
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
If I'm still in LB, could it be a simplified process:

0) Root and backup TA

1) Unlock bootloader (via flashtool or from fastboot

2) Fastboot flash kernel with recovery.

3) Go to recovery, flash ROM and flash DRM zip.

Correct?
[Sony Cross-Device General] eyeyousee:
The "errors" are result of unlocking the bootloader and this DRM Fix cannot correct those details.

You should take pictures before and after the "DRM" fix so you can see the differences. Although it should be better [with less noise] i suppose [in my case].

Yes!
[Sony Cross-Device General] beflythis:
quick question - if I've already successfully performed the FTF re-flash/lock/flash/unlock process, do I have to re-do that entire process when flashing a new ROM, or does the TA partition remain when switching from ROM to ROM? (so I would only need to re-flash the DRM restore .zip after the new rom flash?)

My cam is working perfectly because of the DRM fix and I'm apprehensive to switch ROMs as it's a pain in the ass.

thanks in advance

also, [MENTION=257962]x-mann[/MENTION] that is huge noise; you probably need to re-do the process. you should have much cleaner images in low light.
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
This is exactly what I did and it didn0t work. Camera pictures are the same as with ub.

After unlocking the bootloader, when you reboot, there's a process where you see the android logo like if it was in some kind of stock recovery, with a progress bar.I flashed the kernel and the rebooted directly to recovery to flash ROM and drm fix, then reboot and saw that progress bar with an android.

Maybe I should reboot first, let the progress complente and then flash ROM and fix?

And, if I have to do the whole process again, please tell me which guide should I follow:

-From OP (jimRnor)

-Taftus guide

-Androplus (here)

-Restore TA to go back to stock, and then unlock, flash recovery, rom and fix (the same as I did)

Thanks

Edited: Also tried this method and it didn't work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alfonsofernandezyf:
It worked for my Z2.

1. I did a backup in Twrp of PureX 5.1.1

2. Flashed. 69 ftf and let it boot

3. Flashed. 690 ftf but skept TA partitions, don't need to let it boot

4. Flashed Androplus kernel thru flashtool.

5. Went into recovery and restored backup, but only data, system and fota.

6. Flashed drm restoration mod

7. Booted and deleted camera app data

This last one is important, if you don't do it won't work because you have the old data.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Black_Eyes:
Can anyone tell me how to check if my bootloader was ever unlocked ? i got a used Z3 but just wanted to know if that guy had re-locked the bootloader?

Currently it says bootloader unlock allowed : Yes
[Sony Cross-Device General] Jackos:
There is no reliable way to check if the device was unlocked or not. Well, unless the other guy didn't restore DRM keys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Black_Eyes:
I'm sure he didn't. He wasn't a flashing nerd though :p

Also in Service test, everything is active and Ok.
[Sony Cross-Device General] polykoma:
if first three lines Show Key Active and OK

then it hasnt ever been unlocked.

Or it was fully restored with specific TA backup and is again in Stock state
[Sony Cross-Device General] timoti123:
Why it is not working for me on Xperia Z2(D6503)? I tried it on 5.1.1 (.546) US and CE1 and still not working.

Here is what I did:

Flashed 5.1.1 with flashtool and it have cust-reset.ta and fota-reset.ta in it.

Restored my TA partition (which locked bootloader)

Tested cam noise, x-reality and everything was working

Unlocked bootloader

Flashed androplus kernel v63

Booted into recovery and installed DRM Function Restoration for Xperia Lolipop V2.zip

Rom booted and nothing is working.

Please help me I don't know what did I do bad.
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
I'm in the same situation. After flash _DRM restore zip, the phone keeps restarting after "android is upgrading" message. I'm on stock .580 with Androplus kernel 63 (last_kmsg attached. Wasn't able to catch a logcat since adb debugging can't be enabled)

If I try to follow any guide step by step (without restoring my TA partition, just starting from unlocked bootloader) it seems like flashtool does not relock my device. The status bar get stucked at half, but it says relock succesful. However, when in next step I try to unlock bootloader again, it only allows me to relock.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
ANNOUNCEMENT:

>To Xperia Z4(aka Z3+) and upper devices: The DRM restore will be not able to restore the function on these devices due to the devices does not have 4.4(or earlier) android ROM which has the "hole" to made a trick to restore the function without relock the BL, if you unlocked your bootloader (Z3+ +devices), you can also try the mod will work or not or you can get your way to revive the function as EXR team can't find the way to restore it.

>To other Xperia devices(non Z series devices): you can try the mod by backup your ROM and try the mod will work or not, if you find the way to restore, reply or PM to me and I will credit you to the OP :) also the big thanks will be given :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] _superman:
Does it work on 23.4.a.0.546?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] jimRnor:
yes it will works as Z3 has 4.4 before :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
This is what I finally did to make it work.

- I started from an unlocked bootloader (in my case, restoring my TA backup; this is exactly the same as if you never unlocked your BL) If you have not unlocked your BL, MAKE A TA BACKUP FIRST.

I was on .546 firmware (I don't know if this is important though)

- I unlocked my bootloader from fastboot, with the official method provided by Sony.

- Then fastboot flashed boot (latest androplus kernel, here

- Then reboot (this is the part that it's not clear in OP nor any other guide) and let the phone enter into something like Sony recovery (you will see and android and a progress bar). It will reboot itself.

- DO NOT LET it boot completely. Go directly into recovery (I used twrp)

- Flash ROM, then drm patch, then XZDR remove tool. I flashed Existenz ROM.

- You also have to flahs kernel zip again from recovery since the ROM has its own stock kernel.

This is what I did and it is working. Hope it helps.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Black_Eyes:
The Kernel include TWRP itself??^
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
Yes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lompyhumpy:
Is there any way I can see if the mod is working succesfull?

I started from stock rom.

Backed up Ta.

Unlocked bootloader.

Flashed recovery then rom then and then this zip all in once then booted.

Any way to check? I have the xreality option but can' t tell the difference.

Guys after helping [MENTION=5244554]rinkulsk[/MENTION] please help me too.My question is very general i suppose.Probably some of us will wait to flash the new build 5.1.1(flashable zip from recovery) to not loose our root.Or i don't know if we only must fladh 5.1.1 from flashtool and then root our device (when someone finds a way) So my question is:Will we have to flash again the LP mod after we update with both ways i said?I also have to say that i just flashed this mod and i think my camera functions (BIONZ, etc) work fine.Thank you.

you mean flashed dirty via the recovery some of the prerooted zip roms and then the drm fix zip?

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
I mean I went to recovery, flashed the drm zip, then pre-rooted firmware zip, then drm zip again. Note: this is how I did it. Though I personally don't think flashing twice is necessary.
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackhawk_LA:
No, it is not. Flashing the zip before the ROM doesn't make any difference. It will be wiped when flashing the ROM

without DRM, you'll get some green spots and some red one。

otherwise, you should get no spot.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Envious_Data:
Doesnt seem to work for me at all on 167
[Sony Cross-Device General] rodritank:
Yeah, from what I reckon it will only work on 55 and 69... that's because both firmwares will somehow "restores" the features (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2775109).

I tried upper firmwares and they turn off the features even if you flash this mod.

So, for now, I am on .69 + Existenz 3.1.5 (which somehow bumps the FW to .314) + this flash and it X-Reality / Super Vivid + BIONZ work

It's Sony stock rom 4.4.4, vastly moded, odexed, xposed modules.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cypher_01:
Your's is odexed? Could this be the reason why it doesn't work for most of the people here, that you really need an odexed and NOT deodexed Rom?

Has someone else consciously tried it with an odexed Rom? Would be very interesting!
[Sony Cross-Device General] King p1n:
So the general consensus is that it doesnt work on the Z3 Compact sigh.

To all users that the mod may not working on your device, here have a good news for you!
