Hi all,
Could you please help me with this issue
I want to check my phone DRM status, some of told me all line must contain Key OK and Active to have DRM remain, if one of them is unknown or missing or bootloader is unlocked they no longer have DRM
Can you guy include your DRM check screen shot for comparison

I quote my [Guide]:
Check if unlocking is allowed: in the service menu (dial *#*#7378423#*#* or *#*#SERVICE#*#* ) check under "Service Info"->"Configuration" the line "Bootloader unlock allowed:"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Under "Service test"->"Security" you will find info on the digital restrictions management.
On devices with intact TA-partition you will read "FIDO_KEYS: provisioned"
If your bootloader is unlocked and you have no backup of your TA-partition you might use a custom kernel with a DRM-patch to mitigate some issues (again, more info in my guide).

Well, hello to everyone. I bought Sony Xperia Z3 and bought code to unlock it for all sim cards and it works. When i visited Sony's site for unlocking bootloader i came across this post:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Well, my device cannot be unlocked because it says No..
so what can i do to unlock it?

What? Do you know what you are taking about..
Anyway, if the service menu says you cannot do it then it is impossible to unlock it.

For your device it is not allowed, so you can't unlock the bootloader.
/I've read some threads about trying to unlock the bl although service says "no" on other Devices like z Ultra:
It's not impossible to unlock the bl with official method if you know your device earlier had status allowed "yes".

its necessity if you want an aosp rom .....
Stock basted Roms on most Sony devices are pretty fast and solid in my opinion no need to really unlock unless your desperate for cm
So that's it? If the bootloader can't be unlocked officially, I'm stuck on Sony roms forever?
Wouldn't bother me so much but my Z3 has a horrible bug where it doesn't work with the bluetooth in my car without rebooting first every time. Was hoping to install CM12.
Could be a hardware fault the Bluetooth

It's not that I have any major issues with Sony roms, I'd just like to be able to flash other stuff in the future, should I want to.
I'm still going to keep the Z3, such a nice phone, nothing else really comes close to it for me yet. Maybe the M9, but I just got the Z3 for £260 from o2 and had it network unlocked, probably have been looking at least double that for the HTC.
You can still root the device and customize it. Tools like the XPosed framework are great at modifying specific parts of the ROM.
But to confirm: you're stuck. You can't unlock Sony's unlockable bootloader. I've heard of people trying to unlock it, I've never heard of a successful case.
Enjoy the phone, it's among the best available right now (imho).
Hi all
I have a rooted Z3. On the paper DRM keys should be untouched but I am not impressed with the camera's quality.
I flashed pre rooted rom and subsequent rom updates but wonder if something didn't go wrong along the way.
So, simple question : how can I test the effective presence of DRM keys / make sure the functions that come with it are present on my Z3?
Thx

Your DRM keys will be totally intact unless you unlocked the bootloader.
Are you sure? I thought that flashing a full 'home made' pre rooted rom could over right TA partition resulting in useless drm keys... Isn't there some part of the rom that has to be exclude to prevent just that ?

Do you see any difference in camera before and after installing preroot rom?
Having an awesome camera doesn't means awesome photo. There is many other things that makes a photo great.
Composition, subject, correct use of modes or manual settings, white balance...
I for one is not impressed with the stock Sony camera. But granted its much easier and better than other phone cameras available. I'm impressed with its low light capability, speed of autofocus, and all those amazing preprogrammed modes.
I'm no fan of manual control. If I need manual control, I'll need raw as well and for that I bought a dslr..
This Sony camera serves what I need. Quick, Good, camera to catch things at the right time.

Which version Z3 you have and which pre-rooted rom did you flash? The only version that has a locked bootloader is the T-Mobile Variant. And like all the other members stated, you can only lose DRM keys if you unlocked the bootloader. If your bootloader is locked then DRM will be retained even if you rooted and flash a pre-rooted rom.
I have a D6603 with current stock rom pre rooted. BL is locked.
Regards to camera (and not my photos) i am disappointed. I find the white balance dull/approximate, low light noisy and the overall sharpness quite bad. Hence I wondered if it was due to some messing about with drm keys...

To truly check open the phone dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#* then navigate to "Service Test" then "Security". If the first three lines says MARLIN [Key OK][Active], CKB [Key OK][Active], WIDEVINE [Key OK][Active] then your drm keys are intact, if it says unknown then the drm keys are gone.
All OK active under security test, so I guess I am fine.
Thanks
I have Z3 T-Mobile carrier (D6616) from my friend but "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" but key "unknown error"
Code:
MARLIN [unknown error][Active]
CKB [unknown error][Active]
WIDEVINE [unknown error][Active]
However, I can manage to download music info from SONY. What happened with my device DRM Keys?

This means that you are able to unlock the bootloader but that it is currently locked.
Unless the bootloader has been unlocked the DRM keys are intact
Your DRM keys are intact.

Many THX. I feel it uncommon because D6616 bootloader is told that cannot be unlockable and the keys has "unknown error".

Hello everyone,
I'm here cause I'm going from a z3 Bl unlocked, custorm ROM and other to an z5 bl unlocked cause gived by a sony employee who repair phone.
But he give me it with an unlocked bootloader, then I don't have the DRM.
I don't want to make some bad things like with my z3 who have some freeze, reboot or other things.
The z5 is in 6.0, is it possible to get back the DRM to get back fingerprints and all other stuff like photo treatment,.... ?
Also, there is a operator rom with just some apps installed that I desinstalled, is it going wrong with next maj or not?
Thanks for your answers
Edit: I think that this unallow me to cast with a chrome cast?
IF the previous owner backuped the TA partition/DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader, it's possible he still have these backups in his possession OR possible he restored the TA partition after installation a custom ROM, TWRP, rooting, etc.
If you can, open the dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#*, then go to "Services tests" -> "Security"
You should see two [Active] occurences, OTP_LOCK_STATUS: LOCKED / FIDO_KEYS: Provisioned
That means the DRM keys are active and that's what you want. If it's the case, I would strongly suggest you to temporarely downgrade the phone to an older Lollipop firmware and backup them in a safe place (thre's many guides on this forum)
Personally, I wouldn't buy a second-hand Z5 that doesn't have its DRM keys intact anymore, or at least a proper backup of these keys.
I thinks it's good I have this :
Marlin key ok active
Widevine key ok active
Ckb key ok active
Huk:...
Prodid_aid:0004
Otp lock config 0155
Otp lock status locked
Auth enable 07
Device id:...
Fido keys provisioned
Factory reset reason : not found
Then I have just to find a tuto who downgrade and backup drm?
Edit: I just pay a new screen cause he was broken and old owner give it to me ^^

Seems that all DRM keys are intact, you may follow these instructions to backup your TA partition :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cros...-tool-t3349597
Try to flash stock firmware and perform wipe on it so you could test all are working normally.
Thanks redjge,
But after put a Sim card into the phone everythings seem okay
I have done the check to see if my bootloader is unlocked, which is No.
I called Sony to see if they can unlock it and was told to call my provider which said no and called Sony to verify if they did it.
Well after over an hour, my service provider said the Sony Tech Support didn't support unlocking but that there are guides online if I REALLY want to do it anyways.
After looking I couldn't find any info on unlocking a locked bootloader.
All I'm wanting to do is install a custom ROM and would love if someone could help or point me in the right direction.
First we're going to check if your bootloader is ublockable.
Open dialer, punch in *#*#7378423#*#*. In the service menu which will open, navigate to Service Info -> Configuration. In there, look for the line "Rooting status". If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", nothing you can do and no point in digging further. If it says yes, take a look at this thread.
Happy unlocking!
Cheers,

I want to install a custom ROM and recovery on my Z3 but I can't find a way to unlock the bootloader. Even with the FlashTool it doesn't seems to work. I tried downgrading to an earlier version but everytime my phone gets bricked unless I use the last version available.
Thanks
Go to dialer. Type *#*#7378423#*#*
In service menu navigate to service info, configuration, and you will see a line that says "bootloader unlock available: yes" or "no"
If it says no then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader as it is factory locked to this state.
If it says yes then follow the Sony guide to bootloader unlocking Z3. They will email you the unlock code and details of how to proceed.

That's correct.
Unfortunately not all devices can be unlocked and there's no way to change that status.
