When i install any theme that changes the navbar, it only seems to change it for a few apps and on the homescreen. When i open other apps such as Google photos I'm shown the stock Xperia navbar but in a blown up state e.g the icons are massive.

Should these themes change the navbar for all apps?

Z5C has an option now to check/un-check OEM Unlock (bootloader)

(tap mutiple times on buildnumber in 'about phone' and go to 'developer options')

But it seems very uncertain what the DRM loss is. MyXperia, maybe low light camera features? And etc.

I do not take any responsibility of any DRM loss.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] karimero:
Very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Thanks for sharing this.

I take the opportunity to ask. Sony voids the warranty if you unlock the bootloader? (Like Motorola and almost every other company with the exception of Nexus/GPE devices and maybe some more).

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Badgerbadgerbadger:
Shouldn't be the case in EU. See [INFO][EU] Rooting and Flashing don't void the warranty or https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2r8nqa/phones_with_warranty_friendly_rootbootloader/cne2u95 . However I don't have any experience with this myself.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
This is good news indeed if it holds up untill the release date.

Here is a list of supported devices if you want to keep track.

developer.sonymobile com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader

I got my z5c yesterday. If I follow the step-by-step guide for z3c (because z5c is not listed, yet?) and call *#*#7378423#*#*, go to service info > configuration > rooting status, it says "Rooting status: Bootloader unlocked allowed: yes".

Continuing the process and providing a mail and then my IMEI, I received a unlock link for my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact using the Z3 Compact guide. I have not tried to use it yet but I will when I get home.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] karimero:
Cool, let us know how you get on! Looks like you're the first one to have a go at it. :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
I tried doing it but I can connect to fastboot. With z3c, this was done like this:

1. Turn off your Xperia™ Z3 Compact.

2. Connect a USB-cable to your computer.

3. On your Xperia™ Z3 Compact, press the Volume up button at the same time as you connect the other end of the USB-cable. For Windows users, when asked for a driver, point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.

4. When your device is connected, open a command window on your computer and go to the platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder.

5. Enter the following command:

fastboot devices

6. Verify that you get an answer back without any errors.

This does not seem to apply on z5c. Any ideas?

OEM Unlock Bootloader - Preserving DRM most likley!?

Did you check bootloader allowed option from settings --> developers options as posted earlier
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
If you mean Enable OEM unlock, then yes, I have that checked. I also have USB debugging enabled.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] lowtraxx:
I tried and the device boots into fastboot mode just fine. It also is listed normally using

fastboot devices

But I am too much of a coward to try

fastboot oem unlock

because I bought the device mostly for the camera and don't want to break it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
How did you do it? Nothing showed up for me.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] lowtraxx:
I turned the device off and while holding the volume up key I plugged it in. Then the blue light for fastboot lit up and I had access. Volume down and plugging it in just just very shortly lights up the green flashmode led. I hope flashing still works with flashtool.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] M!tch:
i hope there will be a way to root the device without losing the drm-keys (finally).

i will receive my z5c today and don't want to use it without e.g. adaway.

why is the thread starter thinking that the new developer option would affect the losing of drm-keys?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
Okey, so I tried what you said. I turned it off, plugged the cable in the computer, held down the volume up button and plugged in the cable in the phone. The light turned red and then blue and stayed blue. Here is what I got:

C:\Users\itaq\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices

C:\Users\itaq\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>

No output, it did not find the device. I also tried this:

C:\Users\itaq\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found

The computer did not find my device. I tried changing USB port and I tried doing it when the phone was on, no luck.

Did it find your device when you did

fastboot devices

?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Do you hear the Windows' sound when you connect your phone in Bootloader (Fastboot) mode?

If so, then you'll probably need to "manually install" the fastboot driver using the Windows "Device Manager". Selecting the .inf file from the Android SDK folder (the Extras folders where Google USB Drivers are installed). Or using the "Have Disk" option in the device manager (and then selecting the .inf file) or something like that.

Then you put "Fastboot devices" and your device should appear.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] lowtraxx:
Yes, I got the device listed when I did fastboot devices. I am using linux so I cannot say what the specific problem is, but as [MENTION=4864772]thesebastian[/MENTION] suggested I would guess that the fastboot driver is not installed or not installed correctly.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
That most be it. I'll look in to drivers and report back if I get it working.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

That's it, thank you. I hear the sound when I plug it in. Checking the drives was the next thing I was going to do.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] itaq:
Continuing this discussing in this thread keep this thread on topic.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] shafiq01:
you would also need a code for the fastboot oem unlock command from sony dev site, right?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] derrider:
Z5 (not compact) listed on Sony´s developer site now

As an FYI

Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking site:

"To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5, prepare it by following these steps:

1.Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.

2.From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking"

So it looks like this is all that´s required, no more code requesting process like on previous devices. However, nothing specific mentioned on the DRM aspect.. I have checked the option, still had "myXperia" enabled and all was good. Also, have not seen a difference in Camera quality, but would not bet on it...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Did you try it with low light photo's?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
It is not. It's only the preparation before you can start unlocking.

This way MyXperia won't hard-brick your phone if you activate it while on unlocked bootloader, because it is gonna be deactivated.

The unlocking procedure is the same as before otherwise.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kringger:
I believe that OEM unlock toggle only allows you to then enter a command in adb fastboot to oem unlock, which should result in a factory reset. I don't think just toggling it unlocks your bootloader. I don't know for sure but that's based I what I've read in these forums.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Resolved my issue
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] :
Can you show your result for security service test? Access via *#*#Service#*#*

Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Now you can unlock, the compact is listed on the dev page. Still need to input a code through adb. I unlocked yesterday, it was pretty easy. Needs a bit of fiddling with the drivers, as always.

Proof if needed
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] hispanico957:
Yes a try also me and all ok... but now. DRM keys i think are safe, but now next step !?

Hispanico
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
Wait, unlocking a BL does not remove the DRM keys? And camera performance in low light? Can somebody confirm that?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
I can't say for sure but from what I see, quality isn't worse. However, I don't know what to look for. If the difference is supposed to be drastic, that means it kept DRM since there's no difference. If it's more subtle than that I couldn't tell. If there's a concrete way to test if I still have the DRM keys, I'm willing to test and post the results.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
Yea guess only way to check it is to take a photo before the bootloader unlock and after with same light situation.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
I can do that, I have a picture of a church I took two days ago in the morning I can easily redo. Will post tomorrow
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Daniehabazin:
i also did the unlock yesterday, now i only need to find a way to push su binary to the phone
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] boolee:
Hi,NPK06

Could you take a picture something under low light?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Hi, boolee, here you are. I closed the blinds to leave 2 inches of light on the first, and closed a bit more to leave 1 inch on the second. First in superior auto and then in manual night scene both times. I'm quite impressed how the manual night scene 2 is a lot better than its auto counterpart.

I am using the mattress as support so it isn't blurry. I made several tries and seeing as shutter speed was slower, without the support it came out blurry.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
It does look like it still has the low light algorithams, and that church picture does look way better in second picture.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Yeah, it does look better, probably because it's extra sunny today! Friday was greyish. I think they're pretty much the same in the sharpness category, though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Drakorcarnis0:
I didn't unlock my bootloader but in service mode it's clearly marked as "unlocked"

Could someone with a locked bootloader tell us if "unlocked" status is mentionned as on mine ?

Envoyé de mon E5823 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
It was that way on mine before unlocking too. Notice the word "allowed", as in, not yet done but you can.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] charlie460:
Hi, how do you enter service mode? Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Random Username:
Look a few posts earlier...

Hint: It's *#*#SERVICE#*#*

Just enter it in the Phone app.

I myself am also very curious if the BL unlock affects DRM keys. That's why I'm holding it off for now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] freddy1991:
Can you do that please?

*#*#7378423#*#*

And then service test > security

And then check the upper 3 lines

Should be Active/OK

Also please look at the attached image
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
It's blank. There's just "None" written at the top, the rest of the screen is black.

https://i.imgur.com/8L3u8jC.png

Update: After checking the service info and seeing it said "Rooting status: Unknown" I decided to reboot, and now in the security screen it says:

https://i.imgur.com/b2N5I3m.png

If someone can tell me what this means :)

Also, really weird that it said "None" first, but now gives a bunch of info. I didn't do anything uncommon. Plus I think unlocking broke the backups, they sit at 50%, now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] freddy1991:
Generally, when something said "errors", it means drm keys are lost.

This is true at least until Z3, I don't know about z5 family though.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
You could be right. My pictures don't seem bad, though. Do the DRM keys only affect picture software? If so, I'm not really phased about losing them
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] shafiq01:
Sony dev site only mention something about lossing the 'device protection features', i assume this scopes MyXperia mainly.

see attached [IMG="screendump"]https://db.tt/6ZNDRcWv[/IMG].

could be nice to re-verify how the first 3 key's look like in *#*#7378423#*#*/service tests/security after:

1. OEM toggle has been enabled

2. fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(your received code)

And perhaps also what happens if you disable the OEM toggle, does it show's the 3 key's in security screen?

or if you lock the BL first via Flashtool v0.9.19.6 and disable the OEM toggle, does it show's the 3 key's in security screen?

First i will try to unpack a stock *.ftf and extract the kernel.sin so i can extract the zImage, perhaps i could try to repack it with TWRP's ramdisk

and have a working recovery, if i can succeedwith that first and also to verify loss of camera/sound/screen quality.

then i think we could be safe, but i don't much times these days.

Perhaps someone else is alredy looking into doing above re-verifications and perjhaps also a working on a recovery.

so that would be waist if put to much time into making something half heartet hehe...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
If I disable the OEM toggle, the keys don't come back, still gives "error". I can't test much more than that, for some reason I can't run Emma flashtool, gives "an error has occured. See the log file". Can't decipher the damn log file, though.

Edit: Sometime after the boot, the service test and info don't show "errors" or "bootloader unlocked", but "none" and "root status: unknown". What gives? What makes it "forget" the state?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] jointdeath:
Hi guys,

I'm new here, haven't had a android phone for a while.

I have been wondering if there are any updates regarding the DRM keys. Also does anyone know what Keys will be lost when unlocking bootloader?

Do you lose just the Camera DRM keys or also the X-reality?

Best Regards,
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
You lose the screen improvemnt (x-reality, super vivid), the sound improvments (ClearAudio+...) and several other minor things along the camera low light processing algorithm. Best thing for you is to wait a bit longer
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Not really. Bravia engine is not sure, on previous phones it actually worked on unlocked bl, Sound EQ + HiRes works just fine, you only loose myXperia and Low-light-pa.

[MENTION=1262833]shafiq01[/MENTION]

Can you edit OP?

News you posted was actually broken news but many people don't read correct post and they post "I found this news, has anyone tried?" to everywhere...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
The drm low light algorithams only kicks in at very high ISO like 800 or up. Normal usage hardly notice the different.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gandalf:
This is very much incorrect.

The option you are describing, "Allow OEM Unlock" simply allows the bootloader to be unlocked, it does not actually unlock your bootloader, which is why your DRM tests are still passing.

I would highly advise that you update the information in the OP immediately.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] shafiq01:
OP changed, I had the device already before it was launched, so at that time it was new stuff, and I believed something was new, wishful thinking. I didn't had the time to change the Op, sorry for any loss, if any. But now we almost know what is lossed with the DRM stuff?? Anyway, I should probably hold off by sharing again when we have the Z7C in September :)
[General Topics] Hannah Stern:
Hello.

In my opinion, the Apple iPhone Camera Application is the worst camera application with the lowest value that a flagship has.

But there are also very great advantages of the camera-app, that i'm also going to mention here.

Advantages:

Very quick Startup

Zero shutter lag and delay. ﴾Even if you press the shutter buttons five or six times in a second (with HDR-Mode OFF), the Applephone will always react and take a photo﴿

Infinity Burstshot (until Battery runs out or Memory is full)

Slow-Motion-Videos are being Recorded in the correct way. Read more about this here: http://forums.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2998500

Automatical HDR

HDR-Panorama (Only iPhone 6 and higher)

Very easy to Use - Neat and clearly overseeable Graphical User Interface - GUI

Video Recording Time: HH:MM:SS instead of MM:SS (HH:MM:SS looks more professional)

You're able to use the zoom and change exposure and focus settings during a burstshot.

You're able to lock AF/AE while recording a Video (like M9)

Disadvantages:

Almost no features and setting possibilities

The shutter button is so tiny that it is even smaller than the S5 Shutter Button‼ (it will be harder to strike the button in a fleeting moment. You will possibly miss the button with your finger. If Apple won't change the UI, they'll have to put a physical shutter key on their phones.)

You have to switch between photo mode and the video mode. (You can't access both at the same time)

Shutter Button looks pretty boring. (Good Shutter Buttons: S3,S4, Note 2+3, Xperia S, V, Z, Z1, Z2, Z3)

The User Interface sucks and has almost no value

Screen Blackout if you press the photo shutter button (this will make it harder to take photos sthealthy and sneaky)

Burstshot counter stops at 999 (but it's good, that there is an unlimited burstshot at least. The Note 5 is limited to 30 Shots in Row.)

Square Mode is completely superflous, because it will just cut off the edges. 2448² Pixels instead of 3264 times 2448.

Hey guys,

Anyone been able to get the H950 V11Z update? Any tips?

I called att 5 times, they either say it doesn't exist or fail to push it. LG sync says my software is up to date. i have forwarded my clock an entire year. :(

It does exist, that's how I provided Sj with the system.img so he could to root 11z for everyone.

Yes, it's available.

[LG G Flex 2] Ace42:
I didn't root until after using 11z. I think Sj would suggest installing the stock image of 11x before updating to 11z. Also there might be some sort of integrity check that SuperSU may interfere with.
