I have got a Z3.If we will be able to root without unlock bootloader, i will restore my drm keys.And i will unlock my bootloader and flash cyanogenmod.And i will relock bootloader, restore my drm keys on cyanogenmod.Is it possible?Sorry for bad english?
Not possible. Only a Sony rom can take use of the DRM keys. Cyanogen doesn't use Sonys algorithms.
If we are able to root without unlocking BL, we can backup the TA partition with the DRM keys and you will be able to restore them but as dashrink said, custom Roms which are not based on Sony's official firmware won't be able to use them. But you could always go back to an official (based) firmware and restore the TA partition with the DRM keys.
Well, what can we do for camera's quality on custom rom's?

Once you relock the bootloader CM will not boot.
You need to keep the bootloader unlocked for custom kernels to boot

What about Xposed? I don't have to change ROM, therefore can I install Xposed and then restore DRM keys? :fingers-crossed:
Could someone just confirm that I got this right:
-if I want reaver on my phone, I have to root it
-if I root it, I lose low light camera quality
So I have to choose between rooting the phone (for installing reaver, airmon and apps like that, I don't need anything else) and having great low-light camera?
Yep.
It was true 2 weeks ago.
Now that the root method for locked bootloader becomes avaiable so you won't lose the drm keys if you root..

What do you mean?
Is it already available or?....

To clarify:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes your DRM keys and losing those is what reduces the camera quality (among other things)
Previously, the only way to get root was to unlock the bootloader.
It is now possible (via giefroot exploit) to get root WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader. This means your DRM keys are unaffected.
Once you have root you can actually backup your DRM keys so you are then free to unlock the bootloader if you want (for customer kernels and stuff) and restore your DRM keys afterwards

Yes, but people should also know that restoring your DRM keys relocks the bootloader.
So, you can either have an unlocked bootloader without DRM keys (You can boot a custom kernel so can run CM etc)
or
a locked bootloader with DRM keys. (You cannot boot a custom kernel so are stuck to stock firmware)
You cannot have an unlocked bootloader with DRM keys.
Ah, thanks for the clarification, I didn't realise that. I've not unlocked my BL as I'm happy with root on stock.
Do you need to unlock for a custom rom and, if so, can you unlock, install the rom, and then relock?

If the custom rom relies on a custom kernel then yes you have to unlock. Custom kernels can only boot on an unlocked bootloader.
However, once you relock (Or restore the TA partition containing the DRM keys, this also relocks the boot) then you cannot boot a custom kernel so you get a bootloop until you either unlock again or restore a stock rom.
Locked bootloader = stock kernel only (Custom kernels will cause a bootloop)
Unlocked bootloader = any modified kernel and stock kernel (No DRM keys)
Here's one last question before following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598
If something happens to my phone and I need to get it serviced, is it possible to remove root? Will there be any traces of root, or nobody'll ever know it'd been rooted?

Flash a FTF or force repair with pccompanion.
That's removes root and no one can tell.
Hi
Is it possible to use Magisk (and/or its modules) somehow with locked bootloader? I ask this purely out of curiosity because of Widevine L1/L3 issue
Thanks in advance!
I will say a big NO.As unlocked bootloader is needed .
I was wondering if I can relock the bootloader after root to keep L1. Is that a viable solution ?
I Haven't suceeded doing that, my phone soft bricked in the process. So unfortunatly there is no way to have root and L1 at the same time.
If you re-lock your bootloader the phone will format data itself, magisk can survive only a factory reset not a format data, but if you want L1 just flash any Android 11 Open Beta
Um, I'm currently rooted with Magisk 22 and have widevine L1 using Magisk Hide. Been watching HBO in HD since the android 11 came out. I just hide all the playstore and google apps/services in Magisk hide.
I managed to unlock Bootloader and root phone on emui 9.
Now i want to know if there is a chance that someone compiles twrp for ele l29 device.
Also my question how to update and keep root and bootloader unlocked?
hi
how can I do same for root P30 in chance to recovery photos on internal memory after factory reset due to forgot graphical key?
