[Q] Flashing Stock ROM on Sony Xperia L - C2105

I have Sony Xperia L - Jellybean 4.2.2 - 15.3.A.1.17 - Rooted Stock ROM - Locked Bootloader
For some reasons I have to make a hard factory reset with Sony Update Service program, but instead of letting the program re-download the firmware then installing it on the phone, I already made the FTF file that I downloaded in the past by using the Flashtool.
Now The Question Is:
Have I worry about losing the DRM Keys when I flash this FTF with the Flashtool ?, or this kind of flashing will not affect it ?, or I have to check Exclude TA in the Flashtool ?

Hey , anyone please help me

[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 root (lollipop)

Is there anyway I can root my sony xperia z3 (running lollipop) without unlocking the bootloader so I don't lose the drm functions? Or can I unlock the bootloader and then restore the drm functions? Someone help.

Downgrade to .77 , use giefroot, and install a prerooted firmware

Better explanation please?

You dont need to unlock your bootloader,just find a ftf and flash it with flashtool...there are many guides on the internet

Thanks for the info, can you provide me a link where I can find official Sony ftf files?
How secure is to use random ftf file from the internet? I use online banking on my phone, so I want to be sure that is secure.

There are no "official" ftf's...You can make one by using xperifirm (i doubt the kitkat files are still in the servers)
ftf in xda are trustworthy most of the time

Thanks, can you or someone else send me the theme where I can download the ftf file for my Xperia from xda?

Don't think there is any KK ftf's left on expirifirm Sony usually remove them pretty quickly. There's bound to be one on here somewhere. I think I've still got a pre-rooted KK zip somewhere for the D2303 lte, also I don't know who told you that you need to unlock your Bootloader to downgrade/use flashtool, you don't it'll work on totally stock unrooted devices. You must however wipe user data+cache+appslog when downgrading from lollipop to KK and when Updating from KK to lollipop via flashtool.

PLS HELP Rooting Xperia Z5 [LB]

Hey!
How can I root my Z5 which has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I don`t want to unlock the phone, did that with my Z2 and wasn`t worth it until the final Android Version has arrived.
Specs:
Z5 E6653
32.2.A.0.305 / R9C STOCK
Locked Bootloader
No Recovery

you only can get not full function root with LB, but you can use it to backup your TA.img, then you can unlock your BL, when you want drm back, you just restore them
