Would installing 5.0.2 stock remove the DRM keys if I flash it using Xperia flash tool and Xperifirm?
No. DRM keys geht removed if you unlock your bootloader.
Thank you! Cause no where would show me that and I didn't want to lose camera performance. Does it matter if I flash D6603 firmware on D6653?

Just download the respective firmware and flash it via Flashtool.
You won't lose the drm keys.

1. So no problem if 4.4.4 (.93) is rooted?
2. If it's OK. Any chance to root Lollipop like i rooted
.93? (Giefroot method)
Thanks
No you can't root 5.0.2 with that method.
If you want to retain root, the only way is to flash pre-rooted zip via NUT's dual recovery.
I must unlock the bootloader to do that?
No you do not.
But you must ask questions in the question and answer section.

Would flashing Stock FTF to debrand wipe DRM keys?
DRM keys within the TA partition only get wiped if you unlock bootloader. Flashing official firmwares with flashtool won't.
Hi all
I have searched for a long time about rooting my device, but i found nothing
I have Sony Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633) with android 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.1.232 and locked bootloader.
So, I need to root it or install a pre-rooted stock firmware without touching the bootloader.
Hi, you need to flash a kitkat rom with flashtool then root with giefroot. (I'm not sure about other rooting methods but this is the safest way IMO.)
After it got rooted, install a recovery so you can flash pre-rooted stock firmware or whatever you want. Remember to backup TA partition.
I had D6633 before and worked perfectly.
I have posted this before but you can go directly to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056

As far as I know, stock roms with stock kernel don't need bootloader to be unlocked. You need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash custom kernel and aosp stuffs.
tl;dr, if you are not gonna use custom kernel and aosp stuffs your bootloader can remain locked.
Ok, if you want to install moonbreakers, here's what I did when I first bought the device. I never unlock my bootloader.
1. Prepare the tools and root the device using Giefroot. and I recommend you to backup TA partition first just in case.
2.Install dual recovery.
3.Now that you have a working recovery you can flash any stock roms.
here's the guide by G-FACE.
if you want to unlock the bootloader remember to backup TA partition before you do it. If it's lost you can't get it back.

First of all, thanks for your help
Well i'm not professional, I only understand the rooting process.
But I have some questions:
1- can I make a ftf file as a backup from my exist firmware, so when I decide to reverse the whole process and return my device back to its original state, without losing anything?
2- What is the recovery, is that recovery has any disadvantage or negatively affect my device?
3- I didn't find a firmware 23.4.A.1.232 with the same customization version which is 1288-7361_R3C
Hi all
I'm rooted with unlocked bootlader for sure , so I used this MOD
[Z~Z5 Series][EXRxTHS]SONY DRM FUNCTION RESTORATION FOR UB DEVICE | Z3 lines support!
the new firmware is out now 32.1.A.1.185 , I want to give it a try
I want to lock bootloader and reflash stock firmware via flashtool , will I get the X-Reality and Sony audio and camera stuff working ?
or no because of lost DRM keys ?
if it's no, is there a way to get those functions working again ?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am running Xperia Z5 (E6653) unlocked bootloader, Stock MM (32.1.A.1.185), modified stock kernel (only added SuperSU, TWRP, DRM Fix).
Is there any way I can go back to stock Lolipop (stock MM will also work).
Edit: What steps do I need to restore TA partition and relock the bootloader?

you can use flashtool to download a firmware (XF icon) and from there you can flash a stock kernel and presumably you could use the tools you used to backup your TA to restore your TA which would lock your bootloader
