Be sure you unlock your bootloader. Or go to this thread please.

Thx for help, but I might have said that the infofile on the Phone says bootloader unlock NO
So is there any chance to get a custom rom on that phone??

Yes, but if the rom has a custom kernel you should delete it from the zip file, and just flash the stock kernel.
BUT! If the rom is CM based or CM. There's no luck for you to install the rom. Cause it needs to be unlocked.

What file? You mean custom roms?
If you want a latest UI z/z1, go for
Seraphic
*Inside the zip file, just delete the intuisy kernel.*
And if you want a fast performance. Use
AlienRom
Other rom you can use:
This rom is just like seraphic. I just dont know their differences.
Doomsday

Thats me again,
ok I do have an unlockable Bootloader on my Xperia J
I did install superuser
But what do I have to do to get the Alienrom on my Xperia J
Is there a easy to use tool to flash the phone?
I was used to use Flashtool for my HTC One is there anything like that for the xperia J?

Just flash the rom, then after that flash the stock kernel. The rom doesnt have any custom kernel, so its safe.

App2sd

Okay guys, wanted to ask you that if Z3 comes with app2sd like T2 and T2 Ultra? Cause it's supposed to be a Sony feature in 4.4.4
Did they miss out?

NO.
You must unlock BL to root, and then instal SD KK FIX, and then try to move apps.
But be advise, i dont recommend to unlock BL because of following

He was not asking that. He was asking about native app2SD.
AFAIK it is not implemented and has not been part of a stock ROM for some time now.

I already know about this bro, I warned so many when they unlocked Z2 bootloaders cause the camera quality was really bad.

Well TBH I have not felt the need for APP2SD since my xperia T days, there is enough internal storage for all my needs.

Restoring DRM Keys after root and bootloader unlock?

So I rooted my Z5 with unlocking bootloader and forgot to backup DRM keys. However, I found THIS that can apparently restore them even if you didn't back them up with a simple flash. Will it work? Or have I lost the DRM keys forvever? I am on Android 6.0.

This shouldn't be here but in Q/A topic !

Right.
Back on topic: Some, but not all, of the DRM -related functionality can be restored with a simple flash. Your DRM keys, however, are lost forever.
Carefully read over the post you linked to again. It is clearly stated that the keys can not be restored, but they can be simulated.

That no longer works on Android 6.0 . you can try a supported kernel like Sunkernel(Zach's kernel playground), Androplus Kernel or
OM5Z. All of them have DRM fix built into RAMdisk.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers!

TA will not affect camera in any way. The Z5 family will not remove BionZ when BL is unlocked. The blurry camera is probably a placebo(nocebo)

LB root and XZ?

Hi
I have had my XZ for about a month now after an Xperia Z3 Compact. With the Z3C it took a little while before developer achieved root on locked bootloader with confirmed backup of any TA-data. I seem to remember that there was a bounty up for grabs for a while as well.
However. I see no such efforts being made to the XZ... The only option is to unlock the bootloader and thus void your warranty. The warranty is never a problem with a locked bootloader as I've had my old Z3C in for service a few times without any problems....
From what I've been able to find out, there are not many vulnerabilities in any of the XZ kernels that can be used to get root. And any other weaknesses I haven't been able to find either.
A last resort would be to try K*ngo Root just to be able to install a recovery and backup the TA partition. Ugly, but if it would work you'd just flash a fresh romantic over it and it would be gone.
Anyone with other ideas out there?

Until now... the only way to get XZ rooted is unlocking bootloader (if you XZ support it) ... Before do it is recommendable that you make a TA backup (Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2)... to make TA backup you need Marshmallow (downgrade if you are on Nougat).

Did you read carefully the unlocking manual on the Sony open developers website?

Yes I Follow Instructions Carefully But When i flash key with fastboot... its struck for couple of minutes.. then i disconnect my phone from pc and power it.. then Bootloader was unlocked.

And your DRM keys (for some device functions in the stock rom) got removed from your device.

So Now What Can i DO?

Using AOSP/Custom ROMs
or
Waiting for a DRMfix for PIE
or
just use the device without the lost functions
(Maybe you want to use the existenze stock rom mod on XDA)

AOSP is independent of Sony stock stuff.
It has its own enhancement stuff.
But at the moment the camera is not stable/complete.
That'll take some time.
I don't know if the Oreo drmfix guy is working on it or any other.

Kindly Guide me how can i fix drm on oreo

Just use xperifix.
The Oreo firmware is in my TWRP download link.
It can be installed with newflasher from XDA.
Xperifix needs to be installed in vendor & a/b mode.
Choose the magisk.zip too, but not the TWRP stuff.
And switch to selinux permissive via magisk.

Xperifix is Paid
