DO NOT ever flash TA backups from other phones. every xperia L has different TA backup and flashing someone else's will HARD BRICK your device. nothing can be done now regarding TA backup. for other things flash stock rom via flashtool wiping everything.

what, you rooted with stock.
if your bootloader is unlocked flash cwm kernel from my thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/general/simplified-guide-to-root-sony-xperia-e3-t3012248
and backup using cwm.

Sony restore DRM Keys

Can I send my Xperia Z3 to Sony support for restore DRM KEYS?
They restore it?

If they are lost because you unlocked your bootloader, they probably won't/can't restore them. As they state on their website the keys, which are stored in the TA partition get deleted in the process of unlocking.

We can not restore the DRM key, but we can restore the lost features of the device.

Do i need root?

No not to use flashtool use on totally stock just make sure you don't include simlock and .ta parts of the ftf. Has your phone been rooted before or is the bootloader unlocked? Usually the only thing stopping a update from verifying.

Don't erase anything before you make a backup. Flashtool works on locked and unlocked bl so Google Flashtool, download 9.18.6 version, install drivers and PC Companion (if you haven't already), download ftf with XperiFirm (last button on right in Flashtool). When proces end flash ftf to your phone.
Good Luck!

You lose all files music etc. When you flash ftf it's good to wipe all data cache especially if you up/downgrading so your phone will be as new. First start may take little longer than usual.
Good Luck!

So that means, nothing can damage my phone or?

Make sure you don't include simlock.ta and the other .ta section of ftf and you should be fine

No, it cant damage your phone

If you are running the Stock KitKat rom , Then you should be able to download it from "Update Manager" . If not , Download the latest FTF using flashtool / xperifirm.
Worked for me.

TA backup

If somebody allready unlocked bootloader give me please TA.img for analyse! Pm me!

How make a backup of TA, such as 7.1.1 is not possible to do so.

Do you have unlocked bootloader? I can make modified boot image for dumping it (only for unlocked), but than will need kernel.sin, it would be great if somebody provide me kernel.sin

XZs G8232_41.2.A.0.219:Download

Do you have unlocked bootloader? If yes can you try http://munjeni.myiphost.com/new_boot.img ? I have included recovery inside that boot image, hope it working. To enter recovery press any volume button till after yellow indicator, blue led will come up (in case recovery boot) or in case no volume pressed red light will come up (indicator for android boot)... do in mind only for unlocked devices, do not flash on locked device!

wait... you've unlocked your bootloader already? Also, does anybody know when support for Flash tools is coming? I need to Flash my phone to the international Rom (from USA) rom to get my finer print Scanner to work

Hey if I install the recovery, will I be able to root using magisk?

Any idea when support will come to flashtools for the XZs? I need to flash over to an international FTF. The USA model lacks Finger print scanner, and if not Flash tools,
are there other options?

Can't tell that since don't know about functionalitty of the your device after flashing an international rom! You can try. This is not ftf flasher hope you know that, to flash things please look into first post https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634 about "how to use" ! FTF (Flash Tool Firmware) is part of the flashtool, but xflasher is totaly diferent flasher, you can't use ftf with xflasher!

Hi, its not a full backup, instead it create .ta backup and it is not like raw backup aka .img like you do with https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081, tool only dumps important units, unit 1046b which contain drm key can't be backuped, it can be dony only in enginering mode (test point mode), and there is some tool for reconstructing trim area https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dangerous-tool-trim-tool-t3516007 from that .ta backup but it is useles since drm key unit is missing

Gotcha. You should note that in the title or first post. Thanks anyway. the issue I am having is there is no support from Flash Tools for the XZs at the moment.

In recovery it comes, but does not respond to touch and nothing is possible .Loading also impossible system. Patched kernel itself, it came loaded into the system, but no rekaveri. Without recovery and Root did not get it.

So recovery is booting? You can look into dmesg of the recovery for more idea, probably something missing in recovery since I have used stock kernel, error can be seen in dmesg!
