I would like to know today are there any alternative or nothing has changed? ยจ!
sorry for my english .. i use google translation
sorry if the topic are already treated
thank you for your good day answers
You can root the phone and nothing changes you only lose features if you unlock bootloader but you can flash something to restore those features

Excuse me, but root and unlock bootloader nes not the same?
I'm new, I've heard of the loss of key drm etc ..
I would like to use my mobile freely without losing the sony photo software.
es that possible?
What are the difference between root and unlock bootloader ?!
again thank you and sorry for not understanding everything
here's the bigger question.. why are you looking for root or unlocked bootloader ?
yes you can root with and without unlocking bootloader so you dont lose DRM Keys
go here and follow the instructions for ROOT without losing DRM Keys

enjoy ^_^
Just as mentioned above. I dont mind waiting but just wanna ask is there anybody able to get it already? I've done some google, some pages offer a very 'detailed' instructions like just install TWRP using fastboot method then flash the SuperSU binary then bingo!! Some others state unlocking BL is required. Since to me xda is the only reliable source so I guess I will be looking for answers here.
Cheers
since the Z3+ and newer devices, root with lock bootloader is impossible at least for now.
btw, unlock bootloader is so easy for root, why not? Warranty?

Well... DRM keys thing is what i concern. AFAIK im gonna have to give up some features if i lose it so...
Btw it'd be appreciated if u could share some posts about re-locking bootloader and backing up/restoring DRM keys, especially for this new Xperia XZ.

That's what im worrying haha. Guess i'll wait, patiently, for a talent shows up
Someone just pls pls find a way to have it rooted without unlocking BL, or just a way to back up TA BEFORE unlocking for the sake of DRM keys sh!t then nothing would stop me from enjoying root

I've been waiting for over 3mths for some progress on backing up the ta keys on all the x range(I have the xa) I don't see it ever happening to be honest and I've made the mistake of loosing ta keys before I won't be doing it again.

Hi all.
I've got my XZ since one week now, and I'm missing the possibilities of rooting my device.
My Z2 was LB, so I never could ever try to unlock my bootloader. therefore, I don't know anything about it.
I've read a lot of thread here and there, and some points are not that clear to me.
Will the procedure of unlocking the bootloader erase everything in the phone (like photos, contacts, etc...)?
Unlocking the bootloader will kill the DRM keys forever, if I understood well. but flashing Androplus Kernel will recover them, right?
Is it possible to relock the booltloader after? if yes, will the DRM keys be restored?
Last thing, to be sure of what I should do.
1-unlock the bootloader with IMEI via sony site.
2-install TWRP via adb command
3-flash Androplus kernel.
Am I right, or do I miss something?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for the noobish questions.

Hey sensei_sai,
Im unsure if unlocking will erase your data but its always best to backup everything in the internal memory just in case something goes wrong.
Androplus will NOT recover your DRM keys but kernels with DRM fixes try to replicate the features that are permanently lost as a result of unlocking your boot-loader.
In the future it may be possible for you to re-lock the boot-loader but even then this wont restore DRM keys, the only way to restore DRM keys would be to back up your TA partition (This contains your DRM keys) before you unlock your boot-loader but to do this you need root access with your boot-loader still locked.
How to backup TA
Unfortunately at this time nobody has figured out a way to get root with a locked boot-loader although a newly found exploit (Dirty cow) may help us do this very soon so if you care about re-locking and keeping your DRM keys I advise waiting until a locked boot-loader root solution is around!

Thanks for your reply.
Too bad for the TA partition.
So we have two possibilities. Take the risk of loose some features forever, but benefit of the root or wait till someone make some magic to use an exploit to obtain root without unlocking the bootloader.
Risk and go... Or wait and safe... Dilemma...

I think that the era of DRM lock is over, we've been using DRM fixes for all the latest xperia phones, the dirty cow is a bad exploit and it's more dangerous than useful.
I was unsure about unlocking the bootloader but now that I did it, I rooted and I regret nothing, the only downside of unlocking is the warranty loss, but who cares as long as the phone doesn't magically explode.

OK, so did the bootloader unlock erase your data? Did you use the sony way or Flashtool?

Thank you, I've seen that guide, seems like it's not possible to unlock bootloader without factory reset.

Yes, but it worth it!! Save all your datas and go for it!
Any one know how to relock the bootloader for a xperia xpz?
If you unlocked because you wanted root or custom firmware and lost the sony features for camera and want to revert back. You cannot do so until there is an drm fix or if you had your ta backed up. relocking will do nothing.

What warranty? As soon as u unlocked the bootloader the warranty is no longer valid as per the terms and conditions u read when u done it
But when you do backup of DRM keys first of course if it possible. And restore them before give Phone on warranty. And relock bootloader warrianty will be works. But if you lose DRM key without backup. The bootloader not be relock.

Oh well, let's hope they find a god damn way to do it. Using an unrooted phone is so uncool.

There's a hack/mod here that offers a DRM fix, but no DRM restoration. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz...hack-mod-sony-xperia-xz-premium-twrp-t3695171
Basically we can root now. I think you can just relock the bootloader (to remove the unlocked message on boot thing) if you're going to send your device in for repairs.
Thread cleaned.

No, that required the keys which are lost forever.

Ah, I stand corrected then. What happens if you DO try to relock the bootloader? It will simply fail? Or brick the phone?

Nothing.
Is there any chance to lock again my bootloader?

No, unlike the old Z1/Z2/Z3 where you can easily lock and unlock the bootloader, you need the DRM keys. However, even if you have the DRM keys, you still cannot relock the bootloader. I backed up the DRM keys of my Z5 before and couldn't relock the bootloader. Basically once you unlock, you can't go back.
May I ask why you want to relock it?

I feel like there is no stuff for unlock the bootloader and the f****** green pictures when you make any update of software I don't really like it

Well, there's AOSP 8.1. You can try the 4k all the time and the 120hz refresh rate. Though I'm not sure if that's fixed yet.
The DRM fix still works for me. You can manually flash the drmfix and not have to use xperifix.

I know Sony cannot not change their DRM because if they do it they can make I big mistake like giving the DRM in their software and fix any unlocked phone
And for the aosp is for single SIM and doesn't works fine in dual SIM
