Because i don't like to wait i use pc companion to upgrade my new z2 (sgp511) to android 4.4.4, there i notice that i lost root. Since i can't root android 4.4.4 i want to downgrade android, but first i have some question to ask.

1) Can i backup my drm key without root?

2) Do i erase them when i unlock the bootloader? (i know i loose every thing but since they are part of the system maybe i won't loose them)

Because if i don't lose them with the unlock, that would make my life easier.

Where i can find my the originals image of android? (although if i can unlock with out loosing the drm i won't need to downgrade)

Any advice that can help me will be apreciate :D
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
1) Nope

2) Yes

You have choices. Pc Companion, Flashtool or this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54527942
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
So my options are loose my drm o wait that someone find an exploit?

Are the drm key important for what, i couldn't fiand enough information about them
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
You can downgrade to root able firmware, root it properly, install dual recovery and flash prerooted firmware via custom recovery. Drm keys might be important for some propiarty stuff working the way Sony think they should like camera, gallery etc.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
if i don't care for the key, insted of downgrade the soft , i should install preroot firmware?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
If you want to. With unlocked bootloader you are able to quite easily root it and do what ever you decide. Little warning though. Without TA backup your DRM keys are gone for good. There is no way to get them back and if you need your warranty there is high risk that it is gone too.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
i know and i want too backup them but i don't know how t do it without root, which i can't have until i unlock my tablet i e circular problem :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
If you don't want to downgrade there is problem yes. Because we have root with locked bootloader I don't think there much activity to find new rooting method to latest firmware versions.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
i have no problem with downgrading, but how can i do it without losing my drm?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
Find rootable ftf file for your device for example this: https://mega.co.nz/#!kcxxjaLA!itErjRi2fYPPswal-c7XasF_lAvPKyY4GwEzY3xgHZ0 and just use Flashtool to install it. You don´t need to have root to do it and it don´t have any effect to your DRM keys.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
Thanks for the good new, but first 2 more questions, i doesn't affect that the image is for another country? Can i use ota with this image?

PD: how is posible to flash an image without unlock?

PD2: What is the meaning of "Customized NCB"?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
It doesn´t matter much which region firmware you install to SGP511 because it´s wifi only and only differencies are some bloatware. If you are going to root your device and then update with ota it may work or it may failed. Don´t think region matters here either if there is ota for that region. But, by all means use your regions ftf file.

When you use Flashtool frome here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php you don´t need to be rooted or unlock your bootloader.

It is generic nordic firmware without carriers bloatware.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
Thanks for your help, but i think i will continue my search, i just bought this tablet and i dont want to chage eerything i just want to root, today i'm going to buy a z1 so i may want some of the blotware for a while. There should be an esay way to revert to 17 for my country but i can't find my image only the last one. Thanks again if you have another advice plese fell free to pass it.

Pd: after ready some previous post, i was thnkins, may the following work?

1) i downgrade qith the image you pass me.

2) as you sugest i root and backup my drm key

3) i restore my stock image (23.0.1.a.4.30) with oc compaion or with the image from argentina in XperiFirm.

4) Unlock and install root.

5) restore my drm key (which if i undestand correctly will lock my device again)

If everything work as i think i will have android 4.4.4 with woor and drm (and my regional ota)

What do you think?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
I was thinkin more like:

1) downgrade

2) root and install dual recovery

3) flash latest prerooted firmware

4) enjoy

No need to unlock bootloader or anything with kernel. If there isn´t prerooted firmware for your region in xda before and you need any help, please ask.

Ok so I just purchased a Verizon 4G LTE verison 16 GB model and want to to root and unlock bootloader (so I can put CM on it) and am on 4.4.2 build number 17.1.D.0.437. Im used to rooting Nexus devices where its a quick, simple process but this seems a bit more complicated. Considering I still may return this device, what tutorial/steps should I follow and will I be able to relock/unroot and return to stock if I do decide to return this? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

I like to revive this post with the next question, as i'm a little paranid and i like to complicate y life, i like to modigy a ftf a por the root files inside so i can flash with flashtool, but all the info i find show ways to flash using recovery.

So what i already do is:

i download the files with pc companion

decrypt and remake them to ftf with flashtool.

i tried PRFCreator ( but i creat a zip to flash with recovery)

So what i want to do is to make my own root ftf, so i can just flash that and i don't have to do anything else.

pd: i in no hurry, but i like to do it this way so i can learn for future updates (ex lolipop)

pd2: also i want to make al the steps so i can translate to my fellows argentinia users.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
Sorry to tell you but if you meant that you want to make prerooted ftf file to flash via Flashtool it is not possible. To achieve root with updated Sony´s firmwares your need custom recovery installed or unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter3390:
ok, with that i narrown my option to only one the ones descript before, but i have one doubt, why dual recovery?

1) I always use twrp, why dual?

2) will i lose ota update with dual?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulvertti:
1) Because it disable Sony ric.

2) Most likely.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic118:
I was browsing XDA and saw a tool called PRFCreator - as far as I know, it allows a user to create a pre rooted firmware. An unlocked bootloader isn't required.

Could we, therefore, use this to root the Z3 and then get those DRM keys?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omario-242:
You won't be able to flash a customized stock firmware without an unlocked bootloader as far as I know, so there's no way to achieve root without UB yet.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
No, you cant use it, there is still no exploit made for Z3, you can try, best case scenario nothing will happen, worst case scenario, you will need to full reflash with stock firmware.

For this kind of customizes rom you dont need unlocked BL. Unlocked BL is required for "custom kernel" which then boots "custom" unsigned (non stock) rom.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
1) The output from the PRFCreator is in .zip format, so you need a custom recovery, hence you need root first. Its a chicken and egg situation. It is impossible to flash a modified FTF because only Sony have the signatures needed. If you modify a FTF in any way and try and flash it, it will give you an error

2) He wont be able to try it as he cannot flash it as he does not have a recovery to flash it with

You can use a custom kernel on a completely stock ROM as well, it depends on which custom kernel you are using and what it is for.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Thank you for correcting me, i didnt know that this tool makes .zip files.

Hi all:D

Here i got pre-rooted stock firmware to get our D5303 and D5316 4.4.3 get root

but the D5316 has'nt been tested yet coz i don't own the device..

please feedback if you have any problem and if you are happy..:D

D5322: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-838sA5iRQxeVJJbFpNOFpJeVk/view?usp=sharing

REQUIREMENT:

rooted stock rom

recovery​

How to:

first, your device must be on 4.4.2 or below to be able to root

second, root your device using tool in cross development section...try each one of them

thirdly, after the device rooted, install a recovery

then download the pre rooted firmware for your model and put them in sd card, and flash it trhough recovery..

remember to do a backup first;);):cool:

something that i can't figure out is we can't modify the system app, but if you want to have a sound mod, you can replace the mixer_paths.xml..

and maybe someone can help with that problem, but at last an app that requires root like greenify and xposed instaler will work...:D

thanks to [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] for the tool to create this pre-rooted firmware and [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] for his recovery to flash this flashable zip:D

Note:-to resolve the problem because of sony RIC, download SonyRICdefeat from here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141 and just extract and run the install.bat file...;)

-backup your system before flashing to keep your data safe

[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Chena_22:
What do you mean by don't flash zip?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Adapt0r:
It might mean that flashing failed.

In my experience, installation of prerooted image for D5316 from CWM recovery does not go well. It aborts after "Verifying update package".

Something is missing.
