Ya i know that, i know exactly what happens just because i have been with sony devices since 4 years.

What i said is not about altering the original signature or changing any thing from TA partition. This is about disabling the drm check. ( sure it can be disabled) and nothing happens with boot ( if something happens with boot, there is no way we can work with a device having unlocked bootloader) .

If you have checked the logcats and compared... then you can see that the drm check actualy does not stops in an unlocked bootloader. It is still fuctioning. Only difference is the values it passes to the os.

In a simple way the values will be:-

1 for locked boot loader

0 for unlocked boot loader.

So i was thinking of stopping that check... or just edit that drm check binary to pass a value 1 for any condition.

Sure these values are accepted by the os and not by kernel or partition or something else. Its just like a condition check by os..

Something like:-

If value == this

Do this ; else

Do something else...

( lol this is the badest programing condition discription ever happend on earth!!!)

So there is a 3rd possibilty too.. alter / patch system files or services.

Also the point to be noted that is, this is just all software based.. sure we cant crack an encripted signature checksum. But we can surely crack some codes..
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] McQueen:
Let's clarify some points:

- You unlock BL you lose TA partition contents.

- Although you patch the DRM check binary, the DRM keys are needed to make the stuff work so it won't matter if you return a 1.

I own a Z3 and a Z5 and I know a locked bl root method is the only way, unlocked BL voids the warranty and it will make the phone less valuable in terms of selling it, you can try to lock BL but you will never restore the TA.

But that's my opinion.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] showlyshah:
I think thats not fully correct. Because even though there is a wipe happens to TA partition , the partition itself may not be erased. And TA partition is not empty even if you unlock.. there may be still something avilable in it, like imei, mac id, or some other hardware ids ( the reason behind this guess is, beacuse of the reason that IF YOU RESTORE THE WRONG TA FROM ANOTHER SIMILAR PHONE TO YOUR TA, IT WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE, THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF SOME UNMATCHING HARDWARE ID'S.) so i guess even after the wipe happens, the kernel or the os copies something back into TA partiton on next boot. And then there is only one thing missing in TA. That is the certificates.

In case of keys... yes digital signature keys are used to decript certificate condents . ( google about digital certificate signing) . And since there will be no cretificate avilable to decript, there is no use of keys, even if it is present or not in case of unlocked bootloader. But i am thinking about the possibilites of hacking into the procedures after the certificate check happens.

Ie, it is possible that, the drm check binaries will get and return a value to os to notify it about the presence / absence of certificate. So if we can hack into that returning value .. we can possibly make the os think that, everything is still intact.

Thats the whole idea behind this. I hope u understand.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] showlyshah:
Guys check this... As i told you always... There are still people out there who can make things happen... This is all you need for now.. Start unlocking your bootloaders...

Upgrading and downgrading your firmwares

Warning:

Your bootloader must be unlocked.
Doing this has the potential to brick your device if not careful.
All your data and settings will be wiped as well.

So now you realise you prefer the simpler and uglier KitKat version, or miss the horrible camera in Lollipop 5.0, or you just want to use the weirdo Lollipop 5.1 for the LOLZ.

This is simple enough but will require some a lot of internet bandwidth so be prepared.

Download Xperifirm and find your phone model, it will tell you what are the available firmwares you can download for your country. Just download them, remember where you place those files.

Next you will need Flashtool by Androxyde, just unpack it and install.

Running it will synchronise the updates so just wait a while for it to load. Once done, click the lightning symbol and select Flashmode.

A window will open up asking you to select firmware, which is the .ftf file you downloaded using Xperifirm a while ago.

The only options you modify is Wipe: Tick all and Exclude: Untick all. After that, click flash and it will instruct you to insert your phone.

Make sure your phone is turned off, then plug in while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.

The process will automatically start so you just have to wait until it's done then it will auto reboot and start setting up your phone like new.
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
Optimising your device​

First off, download Kernel Adiutor and grant it root access. Open it, and look in the Build Prop Editor section.

Look for this code and edit it to this value:

ro.min_freq_0=300000

Now reboot your device, this will make your phone unlock minimum speed to save some battery.

All good?

Now, let's look at the CPU section. Set the CPU maximum frequency to 1190 and the minimum to 300, then set CPU governor to Interactive. Open up CPU Governor Tunables and edit the values according to this picture:

That completes the CPU section, now we have to edit the Kernel Samepage Merging. Go into that tab, and enable KSM. Set Page scans to 100, and Sleep to 500.

After editing each tab here, make sure you tick Apply on Boot so the settings will stay there.

This section is still under construction.

I don't mind. First time I came here to root the C3 I trusted nobody.
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
Install TWRP XZDual

Hello. I have a Sony D2502 with 5.1.1. Used Kingroot to root my phone so I can disable annoying Sony Bloatwares and without having to unlock the bootloader. So I am not sure if bootloader got unlocked as well. I have 3 concerns and would to ask for your assistance and proficiency.

1. Is possible to install TWRP with a locked bootloader? If so, how? I'd like to request for the procedure without the android tech jargons.

2. If it can't be done, what is my contingency plan in installing twrp without having to reformat my phone.

3. Tried several methods on how to enter default/stock recovery mode on my Sony D2502. Tried, press and hold Volume Down and Power, Volume Up and Power, Pressed All 3 at the same, it only vibrates. No problem with rebooting to safe mode and normal mode. How do I enter the stock android/experia recovery mode?
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
1. I think it's possible with the T2U Dualrecovery, it contains TWRP already. I was perturbed at first about android lingo as well, but most guides are simplified enough and there will be people who are willing to answer your questions.

2. You can use the guide you found in the nut-xperiafiles website. Other than that, there's no other way.

3. The C3 does not come with a stock recovery. Sony hates anything that isn't their flagship phone.
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
T2U-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip <--- Is this the correct/compatible release for Sony D2502? If so, I would like to write down the steps as I understand them:

1. Extract Zip file and Run .bat file

2. Connect Phone, with USB Debugging Enabled. (Should the phone be turned off or leave it on?)

3. Select 1 from the CMD Menu? Follow the process and it will reboot for the first time to TWRP?
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
Yes, the phone should be left on. Just select 1, it should be the same though I've never used KingRoot.
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
Ok. Many thanks. Several apps would tell me I am rooted. Not sure if XZdual would work on Kingroot.
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
Thanks. I was ablt o install TWRP. How Kingroot is still installed. I thought SUPERSU was going to delete annoying kingroot.
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
Kingroot will stay until you do a full reinstall or brute force uninstall. It would be better to just do a full wipe, and flash the prerooted stock roms instead. Just make sure to backup any apps you might have.
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
I was able o install XZDUAL easily but had to install SUPERSU with a different approach though. KINGROOT was blocking it somehow. Used Terminal Emulator apk to install SUPERSU and updated via Play store. and it worked. Uninstalled KINGROOT. Restarted/Rebooted phone about 10x just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. All up and running at the moment. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
No problem. I forgot about the terminal emu method lel

LTE Unlock

Hello Autumn. Have you tried unlocking the LTE aspect of D2502? If so, how? I have 5.1.1 Os, XZdual and SUPERSU. Good riddance to kingroot.

I've no idea, my D2533 came with LTE already.

Kernel Adiutor Optimal Settings

Hello Autumn.

Based on your snapshot below, is this a balanced setting? if so, then i'd most likely replicate this. Phone is working well so far after the twrp installation and SUPERSU replacement on Kingroot., feels like brand new when i got the D2502 about 2 years ago. I'd like to make some speed improvements while having stability at the same time. thanks
[Sony Xperia C] notauseranymore:
It worked for me, but I'm in the midst of testing out a new setting so hopefully it can be updated soon.

Kingroot Leftovers

Hello Autumn, after fiddling around with my settings, came across CPU Processes and ran into KINGRot. I am all set, I have XZDUAL, SuperSU. Everything is running great except having the remnants of Kingroot. Please see attached file. How can delete this? Is it safe without bricking my phone? If so, how?
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
Anyone? It's still running in my background eventhough I have SUPERSU now.
[Sony Xperia C] :
Backup your apps, do a full system wipe and flash the prerooted files. Kingroot is a system app so you can't get rid of it that easily
[Sony Xperia C] RK_D2502:
Hello Autumn. Noob question, I have a prerooted 19.4.A.0.182 flashable file at hand. Can this be done via twrp recovery?

From what I understand from the Universal forum, the ability to use SDHC cards is software related, not hardware. Thats why in the latest version of WM6 for the Universal, there is full support for SDHC cards. Someone just has to modify the driver to support them.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] cdaly1970:
I installed this cab on on my 2nd BA (this is my test platform), and it doesn't seem to work. It replaces the SD card driver, so that it won't even recognize normal SD cards, or SDIO cards. I think that the SD hardware that this drivers was written for must be different. I'll keep playing with it, but I suspect that this is not the answer.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
This driver is for Eten X500 it will not work on BA
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] getmad:
So all along i thought it was a hardware problem, i should put a hold on buying one of those 4gb sd and wait for this.

I have a Topram 8GB SDHC, when ever you guys find a driver for the BA just let me know, i'll test it and report back here.:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] tariq_niazi:
For SDHC to work on BA, the SDHC driver must be extracted from the same processor device. That is what I see on the ETEN SDHC driver that it was applied from another Samsung processor device.

- TKN
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Wexx:
Hardware-wise closest device should be Universal which does have working SDHC now. But if the PXA27x is too much different from BA's PXA263 then it will be impossible.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jdc:
Something to keep in mind about the larger sized cards...

In my experience, the larger the card, the slower the access.

When the angel was designed, I really doubt that anyone knew that cards of the sizes available now would be available, not to mention that the SD driver in our phone is pretty old.

When I first got my 4 gig card, I noted that accessing data from the card was much slower than the system memory. That speed drop all but went away after I partitioned the card into two smaller 'cards'.

That being said, SDHC is the new standard, and having the ability to read and write to these cards, even if it's not any faster, would be a good thing. :)

if you see something happening on a the windows pc there is still hope

( sound of an usb connection, or look after 10 seconds if windows tries to install a device

in the mean time it still looks like your device is off, so you shouldn't see anuthing on it... just on windows

if you have an installing device/ windows making sounds , you should find out more about flashtool

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjottrr:
well, i'm not sure if there is much difference between the 6902 and 6903 , but i guess that's controlled by the mainboard, so after you replaced it, you have a c6903 i guess

but i'm not sure if that fits...

anyway, before you order that main board you should first try to remove your old one,

phones are smal, and there is of course a big chance of messing up.

if you do you might have a broken phone AND a mainboard which you cannot use....

further , i think you should be shure that it is possibl;e to use a c6903 mainboard in a c6902 , because i'm not sure that's possible

You have to go to Mount, and be sure that the SD-Card is mounted in TeamWin, helped me in the end.

And I don't think this is necassary to say:

Backup everything 1st. :D

Shut Down, HOLD Volume Up and DOWN and POWER until entering to Teamwin.

Check if SD-Card is mounted in options, in MOUNT.... Reboot.

Cheers, hope it helps.

EDIT:

Be sure to when restarted, Settings, Storage - try to Mount the SD Card if it's now availible. Restart again.
