[Solved] Sony Z3 Camera glitch? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating my Z3 (D6603) to marshmallow using Flashtool and XperiFirm my camera is behaving quite wierd.
Taking shots with the flash on is perfectly fine, but as soon as i try taking a shot without the flash theres some heavy grain in the shots.
Without flash:

Covering the camera with my finger:
The bootloader isn't unlocked meaning my drm keys should be still intact.
I flashed the firmware "D6603_Generic GLOBAL_1286-2777_23.5.A.1.291_R4D" that I downloaded from XperiFirm and used Flashtool to create the ftf file.
I didn't include the .ta files into the firmware because I heard it can cause trouble.
Also, it was previously on Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks!

I figured it out, apparently my phone somehow lost DRM keys whilst updating to newer firmware.
I didn't even think this was possible, I'm looking into restoring DRM functionalities with this:

Xperia Z3 "No Service" after flash

Hi guys. I just lost network on my Sony Z3 while i tried to downgrade firmware.
I used flashtool and went from stock M to stock KK. After that i rooted it, installed recovery and installed stock LP via Recovery and after that i installed stock based M Rom. When i take a look at network i saw it is lost. I still have IMEI, and phone recognize my phone number but can't search and connect to network. I think it got losted when i installed Kitkat rom but i'm not sure. I'm not even sure did i flash any .ta files, probably yes. Is there any way i can flash everything new or how can i fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Fixed. I just downloaded older version of Flashtool and flashed just Baseband.

Can Z5 be rooted while is still locked? i mean...ever?

I find out now is probably not possible - - What about the future , is there like some tecguy with great skill working on it? I just really want there is a way to root my Z5 and do not need to unlock...
Pardon me for my lousy english...
No u can't but u can unlock it without losing any features by backing up your DRM keys and restoring it back..
What makes these keys lost actually is this in unlocking BL progress - and for unknown reasons - the keys are being deleted so what we do is after unlocking we just push back these keys so we don't get any losses or bad things after the unlocking progress
SS is from my XZ5 with bootloader unlocked and as u can see image processing is still here and working fine, so don't be afraid and just unlock it but don't forget your DRM keys!!

S6 not able to see/do anything besides going into download mode

Hey there.
So I've got this galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) which had some weird graphical glitches. Tried to update the firmware with Samsung Switch. Shortly before it was done it failed. Since then the only thing the phone reacts to is the download mode.

Looks like this, (definitely is the download mode though, half the screen worked for a moment) which is similar with the graphical glitches I mentioned. Is this even software related?
I tried Odin to no avail. Stops after starting NAND write. This might be caused by the wrong rom though, I'm downloading others to test it. Will update (with the messages Odin gives) after I tested an other rom.
What do you mean by "stops"?
Lag? Or fail?
It's known that your phone will not allow any kind of downgrading.
You should flash a firmware that's higher - or at least the same - than what you already had.
Use latest Odin.
