Stock vs Custom ROM & Kernel - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Currently i'm on KitKat 4.4.4 with Unlocked Bootloader and no DRM keys/function.
I would like to upgrade to any version of lollipop and use the DRM restore function to improve my camera quality, whilst being able to use Xposed with no boot loops.
Does anyone know of a configuration of Kernels/ROM/DRM patch that will allow me to do this?
As far as I know the DRM restore will only work on stock based roms, which require a stock kernel.
Thanks

DRM restore only works if you have previously backed them up from the same phone. You can backup and restore while being on either Kitkat or Lollipop given that you back them up before unlocking the bootloader. Don't try to restore keys from another phone, you will end up with permanent bricked phone.

I don't intend on actually restoring the DRM keys, only restoring the function such as the Camera's noise cancellation.
I haven't backed up anything specifically, all I've done is UL bootloader and flash XPOSED & TWRP.
Am I screwed?

No. Well, you lost your DRM.And remember. Never flash someone else' s TA partition.

Ok so I'll definitley not do that then. I lost my DRM on unlocking the bootloader.
However can I use this thread to restore functionality AFTER installing this ROM?

if you did not backup the TA partition BEFORE unlocking the bootloader then you have lost your drm keys forever

[Q] TA Restore got a bit scary. Future Advice?

Hi Guys,
So I managed to get my Z3 - D6603 to a state that I wanted: Lollipop, root and working Xposed. Only thing left to do was restore TA (Relock bootloader) so that I had all DRM functionality back - Perfect Device would result. I used Devshaft's tool to restore the backup I had taken before unlock of BL.
The fun started after the tool finished the restore and reboot the device, or rather, tried to reboot the device. The device was practically dead with only red LED visible with USB connected or a short vibrate when power button pressed. Nothing else (Very scary). Eventually managed to get the device to flash with flashtool in flashmode, no wipe. Device booted fine and on inspection I see the bootloader is infact relocked.
My question now is, what caused the 'Brick'? I would like to obtain root again by unlocking bootloader again, flashing Androplus and SuperSU, restore TA and relock. This time without getting the fright of my life thinking I had bricked my new and very expensive device. Any tips? Don't really want to data wipe again to go the PFCreator route.
Ch33rz,
Custom kernel and locked BL
Hey !
Relock bootloader (result of TA restore) with a custom kernel (Androplus,...) will soft brick the device. You can't boot a device with a locked bootloader and a custom kernel.
Don't panic, you can't hardbrick your device (but if you unplug your device during TA restore, you will brick it) !

Thanks for the reply, man.
Okay, that makes sense. However, when I did the restore I had this "Stock" kernel flashed and not Androplus. Is this still not an acceptable kernel? What criteria does the kernel need to fulfil to allow a successful restore without a soft brick?

No, that kernel has been modified so it is not stock
When on a locked bootloader you need the completely stock kernel, if it has been decompiled and recomiled (even with no changes) your phone will not boot on it.
Flash a FTF file or force a repair using PCComapnion to fix it

Root without losing DRM Keys?

Hello,
Is it possible to Root my Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 which is currently running Android 5.0.2 without losing the DRM keys?
I don't want to have to roll back to 4.4.4, or lose any of my files.
I have a pretty slow internet so i'm not a big fan of downloading stuff, I'm just psyched to check out Xposed if it exists.
No, you must roll back to a FW ending in .93 which is KK, then root, then install recovery, then update via a pre-rooted flashable zip
I would not hold my breath for a lollipop exploit. The main reason to find one has gone (i.e there already is a way to get root on lollipop with a locked bootloader)

rooting has nothing to do with the DRM keys
you have to downgrade.
you will lose your data.
you have to download a kitkat stock rom.
No way around this if you want root.

It does if you root by unlocking the bootloader. Doing this wipes the TA partition where the DRM keys are kept

Not if you do not wipe the data partition of flash the data partition from the FTF. You will get a lot of FC's when downgraded but this is not an issue as you will be upgrading immediately to Lollipop anyway

But why revert if he is unlocking?
If he is unlocking he can flash a kernel with recovery and root via TWRP.
Before back up TA.
And after restore the DRM keys.

Please read the OP, he does not want to lose DRM keys, hence he needs to root without unlocking the bootloader first.
Also, if you have a custom kernel installed you cannot have DRM keys running, once you restore them using a TA partition restore you relock the bootloader and cannot boot on a custom kernel.

There is a thread about restoring some functionality but it does not restore to 100% stock compared to when people have a stock ROM with DRM keys installed, and like I said, READ THE OP, he asked for a way not to lose his DRM keys, not to have the functions associated with them.
If you unlock without backing them up, you cannot restore them, FACT!

Root, backup TA. Save it on your laptop.
Unlock bootloader.
Enjoy a rooted unlocked device with endless possibilities.
If you ever want to have your phone as it was when you bought it, restore TA, unroot etc.

OK, so we are back at the situation the OP asked, how does he root without losing the DRM keys...... Your method said to unlock the boot to flash a custom kernel... That wipes the TA partition and the DRM keys BEFORE you have had a chance to back them up.

You said to root by unlocking the bootloader first, then backup the TA so you are wrong. Editing your post after the fact does not change this, adding the line "Before backup TA" does not make you correct as you have to root to backup the TA.. so when you say "why revert when he can just unlock", that's why.
And finally, restoring the DRM keys after unlocking means you get a locked bootloader, so you cannot boot a custom kernel so you lose root...
The point is now moot, and you need to remember my advice on this, keep it in PM's

If you had made a backup of DRM keys before you unlocked, you can restore them and lock your bootloader.
If you hadn't done it, bad luck, they're lost, DRM keys are device specific and you can't restore them from another device.
I do not have a backup, made DRM keys, but do not want to restore them. I just wanted to lock the bootloader (factory Uploader software) because it resells the phone.

Help with Bacup TA > UL > Root > Unroot > ReLock BL/Restore TA

Hi all,
So I read people are now able to backup TA partition (DRM Keys) before Unlocking the Bootloader.
Keep in mind my aim for instance here is to install BBS (Better Battery Stats app) onto the system partition for full battery stats.
Now my question is can the below tasks be achieved in this order.:
1. Downgrade to an exploitable Firmware (MM?)
2. Backup TA partition
3. UL BL (Unlock Bootloader)
4. Root device
5. Install BetterBatteryStats onto System partition.
6. Unroot device
8. L BL (Lock Bootloader)
9. Restore TA partition.
And where in this list would be best to upgrade to Nougat.
I believe I achieved something similar on my z5c, but it's been a while now since I've wanted to root. But given the recent TA exploits I'm thinking it's time to geek again.
I believe if we can define the above process explicitly, many people would be happy.
As much information, direction, insight, instructions on all of the points above would be greatly appreciated by and for my.fellow XZ'ers :fingers-crossed:
I'm also curious on how to unlock, root and restore
I know it was possible to be rooted with locked bootloader on Z3 but have not seen how to on the XZ yet

No, the XZ has verified boot security (DM-verity). The bootloader will not allow a non signed kernel to boot. Stock kernels will not allow a modified system to boot. Hence you need to unlock the boot for the phone to boot if you change the system partition by just one bit....

I do not know any way of hiding the screen. Also, the DRM fix that is used with an unlocked bootlader is not a full restore of the keys. DRM functionality is restores and to my knowledge it is not 100% the same as restoring the TA partition fully.

Not sure I follow your procedure, seems redundant, I assume you've missed out a few steps there by accident.
But thanks anyway.
However, if the DM verity you mention does what it should then I guess by editing the system partition as I proposed and then relocking would cause a bootloop.
I hope there is a way and perhaps others can share more insight.

It won't work! As @gregbradley said, dm-verity does not allow unsigned partitions (eg modified /system) to be loaded, and the procedure you wanna try will result in a bootloop for sure!
Now that we have a specific tool to perform backup of TA partition, "safe" root came true. So why not to do that?
You can always restore your original TA.img and flash full stock firmware, which will give you a locked device like the never-unlocked one!
Anyway... try it at your own risk!

For these, root was enough. At least my old Z3 phone.
I do not want to open the unlock bootloader, because the device may have serious performance degradation especially on the camera, right?!
Is it possible in the near future to make root without unlock bootloader ?
P.S.: If I knew that, I would not buy XZ.

Questions about Unlocking Bootloader

Hello, could someone help me with some questions please? It is more concerned with unlocking the bootloader and security so I am sorry if this isn't the right place, but any help is greatly appreciated as I come from iOS & Jailbreaking.
1) other than my data, what should I backup before/after unlocking the bootloader? maybe recovery and persistent partitions? and how would I do that, by booting TWRP from FastBoot before flashing it?
2) I am planning on flashing Evo X and I assume with the SafetyNet Fix zip provided I'd be able to pass SafetyNet, but what about Widevine? Will it still be L1 after unlocking & flashing Evo X? If not, is L1 permanently lost after unlocking the bootloader?
3) anything else I should know / do before I proceed?
Thanks in Advance!
1) we cannot restore Miui data to AOSP
2) After flashing many aosp roms, I never lost FOD and L1.(ask the question on the Evo X rom thread)

Hey, thanks for the response, for #1, I don't mean my personal data, but rather system partitions like the recovery and persistent partitions, I heard that the persistent partition stores the Widevine certificates, how can I backup those? And how can I restore them if needed?
Thanks!
Not possible
If you want to go back to Miui just flash the original rom with miflash in fastboot mode.
I have already done this several times without problem.

Honestly I don't understand, I don't want to go back to MIUI, basically I looked up online on Widevine, and it said the Widevine certificates are stored in some persist.img or partition or something like that, how do I backup that?
Or do you mean I do not need to backup anything? I can just straight up flash custom ROM without any worries of losing Widevine L1?
Or do you mean I do not need to backup anything? I can just straight up flash custom ROM without any worries of losing Widevine L1? Yes

Currently twrp is not 100% functional, use magisk only for SafetyNet.
