OK, I'll try to be the most accurate possible. Let me know if you have any question.

The purpose of this tutorial is to have a system on the latest version with root + recovery and especially with the DRM patch that works.

DRM patch allows you to regain access to premium Sony functions (image/sound enhancement and pictures in low light especially) when you have, like me, unlocked the BL of your phone, and haven't saved your DRM keys before ...

For more information about the patch, refer to that post.

Here are the steps for those interested (in red the important points).

I am not responsible for any damage ...

Follow it ONLY if you need the DRM patch AND if you haven't installed that DRM patch before.

We start by restoring the TA partition used by the DRM patch:

1) If your BootLoader is unlocked, you must re-lock it with Flashtool (do not restart the phone after this step!)

2) Flash the 23.0.1.A.77 Version (KK) with Flashtool (ensure that the version contains the TA partition)

3) Start the phone then, once in KK, turn it off.

4) Unlock the bootloader with Flashtool

> The "TA" partition is now restored (DRM patch uses it. From now it is important to not flash a ROM that contains a TA partition !).

Now, we'll root the phone and install the recovery:

5) Install the 23.0.A.2.93 (KK) version. Don't worry, the downgrade do not alter the TA partition (the Rom contains no TA partition)

6) Root with Giefroot

7) Install the XZDR recovery

> The system is now rooted and the recovery is installed. It also contains the TA partition used by the DRM patch.

We will now install the target Rom (5.1.1) and apply the DRM patch:

8) Put the ROM (look at the first message of this topic) and the DRM patch on the SD card

9) Reboot to recovery (TWRP)

10) Do the wipes (personally I've done a factory reset)

11) Install the Zip of the pre-rooted ROM (DO NOT REBOOT AFTER THAT!)

12) Install the Zip of the DRM Patch

13) Reboot. Done.

> Your phone is now on the 5.1.1 version with a functional DRM patch.

For the next pre-rooted ROMs, you will "just" have to pay attention to two things:

a) Make sure that the ROM you are flashing does not contain the TA partition (that is, from what I understand, the case with Roms created with PRFCreator, TA partition is not listed on the app).

b) You must reflash the DRM patch after every rom install (without rebooting between the two steps).

That's it, I hope it will help others in my case ...

Do not hesitate if you have any questions / clarifications / corrections.

[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:
First thx to G-FACE for the first rooted stock rom!

I have some questions that maybe sounds a liitle noobish but i want to clarify before i flash this.

1: I understood that i will lose my DRM Key's when i flash this but what does that mean?

As far as i understood it means, movies and music i bought won't be playable anymore right?

But what is with my photos? read some where that i will lose them to?

2. What is the diffrence between Nordic and Baltic version?

3. What are the known bugs so far? Yes i read the whole thread and know about some, but an overview would be nice ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
Cool story bro ?
[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:

[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
Please do some reading before asking people to answer your so-called "noob" questions. Respect other people's time man! These questions have been answered like a million times! Come on man. You can do better than that!

Just an example:

You claim that you've read the whole thread, but you don't know that the author of the Nordic rom has better reception on that rom, than the Baltic one!

Don't know how people like you get to the senior member status...
[Xperia Z3 General] android404:
1. You don't lose your keys if you don't unlock the bootloader. For this rom you don't need to unlock.

2. There should be no difference of practical importance.

3. Read the whole thread once more and write an overview for yourself and others.
[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
Number 3 is spot on m8
[Xperia Z3 General] DennisDD78:
Guys, recovery still doesn`t works ?
[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:
Ok, you're right i can do better and maybe i've just missed that part about the reception.

Will read more carefull next time

Thx for ur answers!

Ok ok, sry mate!

Will do that after i flashed this and got some more time
[Xperia Z3 General] dashrink:
You have to understand that I'm not trying to offend you, but you are missing some basic knowledge here. You should really do some searching about loss of DRM keys, because it is something every Sony owner should know the basics about.

Sometimes I really get annoyed of people asking a question that basically is answered 3 posts before.

One bug no one is mentioning is a standard LP bug where the YouTube app stops playing video. Only way to fix it is to reboot. Very annoying IMHO.
[Xperia Z3 General] MSTRoyal:
It's allright man didn't really get it that way. I got ur point and have to admit u where right.

The thing with those DRM key's is basic yes, but sometimes the problem with those basics is that no one really explains them because "they are basics" everybody should know... so i had some trouble finding infos about that and asked that question.

If u can help me here with a link to the needed infos, i would be really thankfull!!

Oh and thx for that bug info, will write an overview for others tomorrow.

And for all who are facing problems with downloading Nordic Rom link is in Post #36 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59491639&postcount=36) But it's no flashable zip its a .ftf file

[Xperia Z3 General] kjames2001:
made my own flashable Nordic fw, trying it now. will report back if it makes a difference.

doing this because i noticed the nordic fw have a different release number: 23.1.A.0.690/R8C as opposed to the baltic fw: 23.1.A.0.690/R3C. Not sure if its a later release or not, but there has to have a difference.

Hi. I'm trying to make a Customized ES pre-rooted 5.1.1 firmware for my D6603 Z3 with PRFCreator selecting the FTF and supersu/xzdr zip files.

Once the pre-rooted flashable .zip is created, when I try to flash it with PhilZ Touch, the flashing process ends in two seconds without errors but no firmware is flashed, I still have the old 5.0.2 firmware.

When looking inside my zip created with PRFCreator, I can see some *.sin files like "boot.sin", "partition-image.sin"... which are not present in the first post pre-rooted flashable zips. And there is no boot.elf or other .ext4 files that are present in first post zips.

What am I doing wrong? How can I create a working pre-rooted zip?
[Xperia Z3 General] DJ BlackEagle:
At first, you must download the firmware via xpirafirm and extract it.

Then you must use the software FlashTool. After this, you can use PRFCreator.
[Xperia Z3 General] si347:
Thanks for your answer

First of all, I created the FTF from PC Companion update files because this firmware isn't available at Xperifirm yet. Anyway, I think it should be the same firmware that will be available via xperifirm, am I right?

I created the zip again using PRFCreator 0.9 instead of 1.0 and now zip is flashing and working like a charm. It seems that the problem was related to changes made in 1.0 version

I've uploaded a pre-rooted version of the customized Australian firmware (D6653_23.4.A.1.200_Customized_AU_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.21) with custom recovery to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8ERAssrJo3cRTJTbXlRZTI5aUU/view. Enjoy!

Perhaps it can be added to the original post.

Hi Mate... Thanks for sharing!... By the way, can you provide the MD5? Just to make sure the file I've downloaded is correct?

Thanks!

EDIT

Just installed your firmware but it still shows it's the previous version...
