I have seen this a couple of days ago, I was actually wondering if Remote Play (PS4) gets restored as well. I know it is not specified in the patch thread, but would be the only feature left out from this fix! Has anyone tried to use it?
[Xperia Z3 General] hackarchive:
do we really need AndroPlusKernel v12 kernel for this?
[Xperia Z3 General] yikuncc:
I can confirm PS4 Remote play doesn't work after doing this, it still shows C-80F80A01 error. :(
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
not really..you can try experimenting with a rom of your choice..

Thanks for the update..

I'm trying to do a restore of DRM Functions with [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] Steps.. But I don't know where I can find the FTF file for this... My Model is D6603 (.93)... :(
[Xperia Z3 General] PipoyKalbo:
Mine also after doing this. All other features are pretty much useless for me. X reality and super vivid only works using the stock album but i use third party aps to view pictures. And i dont take pictures at dark places. It is not worth the effort if you dont use these features. I want the remote play fixed
[Xperia Z3 General] lewskarche1914:
After numerous tries i finally successfully restored DRM functions - the trick for me was to not turn the device on.

Now i'm wondering, can i flash new versions of the kernel(Andro) and other flashables, without losing the DRM funcions. Should i reflash the DRM.zip every time i flash some a new version of the kernel or it's just 1 time thing?
[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
This tutorial worked for me. The low light pictures just look great now! Thanx a bunch!
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
Dont forget to hit the thanks button..

You can flash any kernel..flash drm zip to be sure.
[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
Already did after applying this mate ?
[Xperia Z3 General] hackarchive:
Confirm this works.The key is not to reboot your phone until it is done.Thus leave it unplugged unless you are promted to connect by flashtool.
[Xperia Z3 General] zenneoiv:

[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
Well... Root, mods, Xposed, custom roms are mine until then ;)

Flashtool downloads the desired FTF file. Just choose the right branding for your device mate.

I am confused about what you say in step 5

5.Flash boot.img "AndroPlusKernel v12" by Fastboot.

I haven't started the process yet. I do not want to start without having all appropriate files. Where can I find a link for that boot.img . Also what if I do want to keep my original kernel, is that possible and what should I do in that case? Also where is the link for recovery? The only link I can find and get is the DRM from original post.
[Xperia Z3 General] Thraxzzz:
You can get the boot.img from Androplus kernel thread. Flashing your device back to stock will flash the original kernel too. Recovery is included in Androplus kernel. Cheers
[Xperia Z3 General] mghanem8800:
I'm kind of new at this. Do I need to do anything to flash my stock kernel (does it get erased from previous steps)? Or can I just proceed and flash just a recovery.
[Xperia Z3 General] Thraxzzz:
When restoring TA, It is best to flash stock meaning stock firmware with you can download with Xperifirm(Needs Flashtool so you are able to download the firmware) Flashing to stock will also erase your data,and also stock kernel. After doing all that,restore ta,and all the magic image processing etc will be back and warranty back too! Voila! Not to mention you get official OTA too :good:

I am currently on the stock 5.1.1 (23.4.A.1.200) with UB.

So i shold downgrade to .77 with TA files and do the procedure on it right?

Can i still keep the restored DRM when i move to other stock based 5.1.1 roms?

If so, should i simply flash the DRM files for LP after flashing the ROM??
[Xperia Z3 General] -Happy Feet-:
Hello, I'm still on locked Bootloader and Android 5.1.1. When I unlock the bootloader via Sony or Flashtool, can I flash this DRM restore zip only or must I got back to the. 77 Firmware? I have installed an custom rom.
[Xperia Z3 General] FokkerFace:
I'm curious - why people want to unlock bootloader? As far as I understand, in the past you only could root unlocked bootloader, therefore if you really wanted to root - you had to unlock.

Now - you can easily root with locked bootloader, so what is the benefit in unlocking it?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 General] -Happy Feet-:
The only thing is flash custom kernel

Confused

I am new in this forum therefore i can't reply directly to the original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672/page116

There are so many different ways and ROMs etc. so i'm lost.

I did not backed up my TA Keys. while unlocking.

I repaired my Z3 D6603 with "Sony bridge" on OS X and got now Stock 5.1.1. 23.4.a.1.200 as i had a bootloop.

In all the posts it is not clear for me if i have to do the DRM fix with bootloader open or closed and if i have to go back to KK?

Or can i install a recovery and then apply directly the DRM fix?

Status is:

MARLIN [Unknown Error] [Active]

CKB [Unknown Error] [Active]

WIDEVINE [Unknown Error] [Active]

Thanks for your helps
[Xperia Z3 General] MiracuruZRH:
Okay it has not worked for me

I want to have LP .200 or .546 at the end.

I've locked the bootloader

flashed .77

start to the welcome screen

turned off

unlocked bootloader

flashed .200 without TA

flashed boot.img to have TWRP (with fastboot)

flashed the DRM fix without rebooting

reboot to system

Then it starts and splashscreen "optimizing apps" or similar but then stops and reboots (looped).

Can you tell me, where i do a failure?

btw. have now a windows machine to do that.
[Xperia Z3 General] Silverdace:
I bought a second hand Z3c D5833 and discovered teh bootloader had already been unlocked and no TA backup.

I've searched high and low but can't find a 23.0.1.A.5.77 FTF with TA in it.

Does anyone know where you can find one from? Flashtool and Xperifirm only give latest firmwares, not old ones.
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Only Sony can restore the original TA. Flashing a TA from a different device will hardbrick it.
[Xperia Z3 General] Silverdace:
This exploit needs a KK firmware with a TA in the FTF which only seems to occur on some FTFs. It's not writing the partition but reserving the space I guess?

I am trying to restore for my phone D6616. But I still cant restore DRM Key functions.

Please tell me,if there are somebody restoring DRM key functions for Z3-D6616
[Xperia Z3 General] BladeRunner:
Why would anyone need to? The d6616s bootloader can't be unlocked so you don't lose the DRM keys, correct?
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
LP version will require the DRM Restore for LP v2, not the one on post#1 Please try to do a search or wait for me to update the first post.

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to install a custom recovery and rom. Rooting only gives you that, root access.

Since you are on 77, you can flash any kitkat-based rom and then flash drm restore zip again to regain drm functions. If you want LP or anything higher than 5.0, you will need to flash a firmware without TA (this is important), then flash a custom LP rom then flast the DRM restore for LPv2 (diff from 77 version)

You did everything correct, my suggestion is right after flashing that .200 firmware w/o TA, flash custom rom (with kernel) and flash drm restore zip again. You will need DRM restore for kitkat or LP depending what rom you using.

This is only for stock/stock based (maybe) ROMs.

[moved from wrong thread]

I'm interested in doing this DRM "restoration" workaround, because I, too, unlocked my boot loader without really counting the cost. (I just wanted so badly to try the Marshmallow Concept release.)

My question: is it likely that this workaround will continue to permit me to flash stock Marshmallow releases via Flashtool when they begin to appear?

I'm also still not completely clear on what the update process will be like once I install the DRM workaround. I know it's been described in several posts, but I just can't get it straight in my old geezer's brain.

For now I'm on Lollipop 23.4.A.1.264, and I'm content to stay with this until MM stock releases appear for the general public. But I would like to undo a bit of the damage I did when I unlocked my boot loader and zapped my DRM stash. Thanks.

I'm also happy to continue updating to future releases using Flashtool.

[HELP] MirrorLink restoring for Xperia Z3 (D6653)

I have unlocked the bootload of Xperia Z3 and have lost all the related functions (DRM). Now, i just need MirrorLink to work, dont need any other functions.

Main purpose is to use this in my car for navigation, etc. since the touchscreen does not work partially on Xperia Z3. The head unit on the car is RCD 330g which supports MirrorLink.

At the moment, i have flashed KK (rooted) with dual recovery on Xperia Z3. When i try to connect, the following message appears on the head unit "This device is not certified".

I have followed the procedure from this forum https://xdaforums.com/cro...s-drm-t2930672

After following the procedure from the thread, the error "This device is not certified" is observed on the head unit.

Can anyone tell a procedure to restore MirrorLink on Xperia Z3. Much appreciated if you could.

Can this tool works on marshmallow concept for Z3? Or official marshmallow 291?
[Xperia Z3 General] RoyFAR:
OK tested on Lollipop 23.4.A.1.232 and I follow EXACTLY as you said, the result : I can see the difference while using Image enhancement : Off, X-Reality for mobile & Super-vivid mode when I open any picture in Album :) X-Reality and Super-vivid produce more abit darken and sharp, also when I take a shot in low light I think the result is better ..... btw the camera still produce abit noise/green while idle/standby before I take a picture and after I take a picture the result is different, not like while camera still open, it is a good pic :)

This picture was taken with lowlight but you can see the wall is clear no greeny noise.

I also did this mod on Marshmallow 23.5.A.1.291 and have the same good result :) I use Z3 D6653.

how can i restore DRM

please help
[Xperia Z3 General] RoyFAR:
Download DRM remover (choose first based on ur xperia type) in this link https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672 you can also find this link on page one in this thread.

Then if if you already Unlocked Boot Loader just go flash TWRP in kernel mod MM. 291 (you need to find/download it first) via fastboot in flashtool...copy DRM remover in memory external and plug it on ur Z3, go to TWRP and install DRM remover but before install you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache first or do the steps from page one of this thread carefully.
[Xperia Z3 General] Ehab alz:
i have TWRP and stock kernel(there is no kernel for D6633 with DRM fix)

my question is can i flash this MOD on 23.5.A.1.291

becuase i saw in first page that i have to flash ftf that is older than the one i have now(i think its lollipop)
[Xperia Z3 General] RoyFAR:
You don't need to flash firmware stock 23.0.1.A.5.77 like OP has in first page, if u in 23.5.A.1.291 and already has TWRP just download DRM restore from the link that I gave or OP gave n furst page and choose ZIP for Z2, Z3 Z3C. You have Z3 Dual D6633, right? There are 3 different ZIPs file MOD.

Copy the DRM restore in SD card and boot into recovery TWRP... Wipe data, cache and dalvik then install the MOD...reboot system (don't delete dalvik cache after install the MOD).

OP has experienced only with 23.0.1.A.5.77 he can do restore DRM functions...maybe if u can't restore with MM 291 than you may consider like OP did, with MM 23.0.1.A.5.77.

Note: I have done restore DRM functions on KK 93, MM 291 and MM concept 3657 :) it works...now I am on MM concept 3657... So fast and stable, I think.

As we are up to kitkass 5.1 V22 now...

To keep up with the speed in which Tim does his Roms and the other developments (which are all good for TF201 Owners) and the support from other developers for Kernel creations and general Tweaks to keep this aging machine kicking.

This Thread is a place for those that are flashing and want to flash the TF300 version of Kitkiss with the Compatibility pack.

I am only doing this as there seems to be a lack of support from multi developers for this machine and so out of respect for the work that is done across the entire TF range. There should be no confusion on where to place your questions and hopefully get some answers to the versions of KATKISS, Kernels and Tweaks that others are doing to get the most of these once expensive little pieces of equipment.

Link to Tims rom Thread

DO not post in Tims TF300T thread unless it is TF300 related..respect the TF300 crew as the rom is developed and tested on their machines not the TF201,

My experience so far.. Tims 15b and Hardslogs 5.0 Kernel.

Coming from 14b in the other thread with F2F formated data I had problems flashing Tims 15b..

Had to reformat the data partition and go for a good clean wipe and everything and start fresh.

This is the 2nd day and so far its cruzing along nicely.. I need to leave the tablet and dock off the charger tonight to see how the Batt drain is..

Issues that I have experienced...

- BT - Connects once and plays but if you stop say the movie and try to go back you lose sound...

- Screen tearing - As in tapatalk while writing in to posts.. will get screen tear.. slight jitter across the screen..

- TB wont restore into the F2Fs formatted machine - on mine it always gets stuck - have oipened a ticket with TB crew and will post back if there is a workaround and or fix on this..

- Flashing a TB made backup Zip takes forever to restore, but does work.. mine is around 280 apps and I just leave it until its done.. In recovery it will tell you that it is going to reboot in 5 seconds but mine doesn't, so I leave it for a while and then do a shut down and start.. it then runs with the Blue upgrading bar and the apps are installed. Note I dont restore "Data" just the apps..

My setup

Tims Katkiss 15b

Data ext4

Hardslogs 5.0 kernel

Tweaks..

Seeder.apk - set to aggressive

Home Launcher - Apex Pro

Apps 270 give or take a few..

This one is a must if you are getting reboots, I was having a few and since I have got rid of this script, it has settled.. I haven't had time to look in to the script and see if it can be tweaked for the TF201T so at this stage its better to delete it..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Josh..

yes your post is true, I and many others just want the best most stable Rom for this machine..

My advise is to step back from the forums for a while as you seem to be a little to quick to jump on people with slightly snarky comments..(not just in the TF201 forum but across others too..remember your knowledge base is deepr then a normal user, As is mine so we tend to forget that the "public, blebs and general mums and dads dont want to dig as deep as we do)

Note : This thread is out of respect for you and also Tim..

In your thread you have done a good job of supplying a modded version, I take my hat off to you..And as stated you only want people to ask questions in that thread about that modded version..also you have stated that you are stepping back to concentrate on your other work..

Which once again all I have is respect.

But its not a debatable request, you have made your thread just on your modded version and so the title should reflect this, as stands, it makes people uncomfortable asking questions about Tims version and turns the thread into a bit of a **** fight as really your opening OP is not clear on these points...

Also as I have HUGE respect for Tim and the work he has done and have been on his work from early TF101 days.. I felt that the TF201 users should also benefit from others inputs across the board and not be locked into just one thread on the available Roms that are out there..

Really I shouldn't have to answer a comment like yours and you shouldn't have posted it as really all this thread is doing is repecting your wishes..

Can't have your cake and eat it as well as they say..

OK..just for clarification...

As a community that gets both inputs and contributions by members I would expect this thread to be about the Topic in the OP..

Any user on any Lollipop ROM can feel free to ask questions and those that are playing around on this machine can give their feed back..

So keeping it on track..

I just formatted data back to F2Fs...she's a tempimental little machine this one.. Even thru google play is updating it with the backuped apps..it doesn't want to open google play.. Thus looks like I am going to have to flash gapps again..

You would think that once you format and restart..as it goes thru the new startup procedure as in asks you your Google account details that it would have everything ready to go..

But it seems there is something missing.. I do see that Google settings is not installed as such..even through its sitting in my apps section within the launcher..and looking into settings there is .

Google account manager

Google backup transport

Google contacts sync

Google one time init

Google partner setup

Google play store

Google play services

Google search

Google services frame work..

So maybe its the missing Google settings app that causes this..?

Not to mind as will flash the gapps package and let it run through again..if it settles will add this to the FAQ..

edit: a reflash of gapps and a resign in via browser seems to have sorted it..Google settings app is working..
