Hello,
Could you confirm me or not that for last two Android Pie firmware DRM Fix doesn't exist? Recently I have backup my TA and with XperiFix I got functional OREO with widevine L1. No errors in Security (service menu) after that. Of course I restore my TA.
Next I flashed one of recent Pie and I have a problem with keys. Widevine is only level 3 and security tab has many errors. I found some patched kernels from janjan but not for current software. I flashed kernel which hide bootloader status that it doesn’t help. Maybe someone has idea why?

Use this kernel by shoey63 (flash in twrp, flash magisk after and reboot).
Its built from latest .107 sources, and has double tap to wake included. To activate the double tap to wake, install the module linked and reboot.
Im assuming you have g8141, if you need the g8142 kernel, let me know.
Hi. Thanks for reply. I have G8142. Could you provide me version for dual sim?

No problem, same as above, flash the kernel in twrp, and then magisk v(whatever) and reboot.
Thanks a lot! My problem was related with not fully flashed Pie firmware by Newflasher. I flashed with Flashtool and now everything is ok. But your answer was helpful too all the best for you!
Hi i bought a refurbished XZP and it came with the bootloader unlocked, so i don't have a backup of the drm keys, is there a way to recover that???

No, the kernels are for people who have a ta backup, and yeah, xperifix died on Oreo.

I unlocked my bootloader and relocked it with flashtool. Now I can only take photos on the camera app (same results with 3rd party apps). Any kind of video recording lags extremely or just gives me a blank screen and the fingerprint scanner doesn't respond. Like it's turned off. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm using the z5 premium e6853.
Thanks.

How did you relock bootloader? with TA backup?
Try to use patched kernel.
Thanks for the reply. I actually just was about to report back that I fixed the issue. I flashed over the drm workaround with twrp.
I found it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
Happy to say everything is working perfectly now.
Will this work for 7 nougat on a z5?
I'm not sure. I flashed back to marshmallow to get it working. Then upgraded to the latest official firmware after.
i have even flashed back to marshmallow and still fingerprint is not working - has all the apk but doesnt look like its activating @Mike3009 are you able to give me the steps you used - i have tried numerous different processes

I'm pretty new to all of this so I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way to do it but here's what I did.
first I downloaded the official marshmallow firmware from xperiafirm and flashed it over with the latest version of flashtool. If you're bootloader isn't already unlocked, you should unlock it in flashtool. (needs to stay unlocked after too for this to work. I tried relocking it after and lost functionality) after you've flashed it over you need to get a modified kernel for your phone and firmware version. Flash that over and install the latest twrp. After that install the drm fix. Test if everything is working and if it is, download the latest official firmware from xperiafirm and flash over with flashtool.

Try this drm fix. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/restore-drm-xperia-z5/
As for my marshmallow firmware, I'm in Taiwan so I used the only one listed on xperiafirm for Taiwan. Sorry I'm not able to use a Pc now to confirm.
are you on android 7.1.1?
Oops double post...sorry. Look below.
Yes. I didn't know to back up my drm keys before unlocking my bootloader and thought I was screwed. Now I'm on the latest 7.1.1, all drm functions working and I have root access. This drm fix works perfectly on the z5 premium e6853.(other models too but I can't personally verify)
Hello dear Veterans,
I have XZ P with Oreo on it, and backed up TA with this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/how-to/ta-backup-g814x-t3691603
Next, I have to downgrade and do xperifix, right?
But where do I get the FTF for latest nougat, and how do I flash it? Before I used to have a Z3, it was pretty easy with flashtool.
I can also unlock the bootloader, root, twrp on oreo then flash a 7.1.1 rom, right, but where do I find those...?
I don't want Oreo because I have privacy-related apps and they don't run well on Oreo, plus in Oreo the ID of apps are separate and it makes titaniumbackup obsolete...

if you are looking to retain your DRM keys - there is no way at present (it provides info and insite and only partially backs it up). so before you go unlocking your bootloader be aware of that incase you were wanting to keep your drm keys.
if not and just want to root your phone then have a look at XperiFix

Thank you, the problem is I want to know how to downgrade to nougat with drm keys gone but still the same functions. If there was a tutorial it would be great
Impossible to downgrade without ftf...
I have it, but I'm out of the country till 13 april.
You can search it on a polish forum
You can download the FTF using Xperifirm, then flash using flashtool.

So it looks like XperiFix is pretty far behind in terms of device support, XZ2 is in experimental status since August with no sources for recovery, and it's likely that XZ3 will take a long time. We can unlock the boot loader but at huge risk to our camera functionality (green photos or nothing at all depending on how badly Sony has shafted us this time).
Prior to any further action or research a reliable way to backup the TA partition to enable a full BL relock in case of trouble seems prudent.
The XZ3 ships with the August patch level in .220. As of writing there is a system update available and I'm guessing it will update the ROM to the September patch level. Google Project Zero has published an exploit that is fixed with the September patch level: OATmeal on the Universal Cereal Bus: Exploiting Android phones over USB. The article is vague about the attack surface of Android Pie but it seems that on Oreo and earlier the patch can be executed on a locked phone, and that while there is some mitigation present in Pie, it should still be possible to execute the patch on an unlocked phone running Pie.
Of course this wouldn't give us root on a locked BL because of the boot signature verification (just a bricked phone if we attempt to modify boot.img), but it should be possible to at least dump the TA partition, allowing the bootloader to be safely unlocked and relocked with DRM keys intact.
Hopefully some developers and security researchers will show some interest in Sony's new flagship so ROM development can flourish here on XDA.
Hey @mufunyo
I created TWRP for the XZ2, XZ2C and XZ2P.
It took a long time, because the bootloader was locked until the September Firmware Update, which prevents modified bootimages to boot.
Because the Sony AOSP Project did need the time to integrate the TAMA Plattform with its new 4.9 Kernel.
The XZ2 Tamaline is the first Sony Device who as the 4.9 Kernel, instead of the 4.4 Kernel.
Of course this took time.
They are working hardly to migrate the older device to Kernel 4.9, too.
I am in contact with @sToRm// to get the DRMFix fully working. I use my own device for his testing purposes.
Everything is fine, except a little bug in the bootimage patcher routine, which is preventing the system to load the already finished DRMFix.
Btw. WIth the "manual" loaded DRMFIX (yes, hacky, to test it) we achieve to activate every feature which would need a locked bootloader (DRM).
SInce the XA2 and XZ2 we also still can shot pictures with the stock app, only the preview is black.
And the video playback will still work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0-touch-recovery-t3821597
PS:
Since the XZ3 is part of the TAMALine, too, I could create a TWRP too.
Of course I would need a person which wants to test it with me and will unlock his bootloader.
And the bootloader need to be capable booting modified bootimages.

Of course I would be willing to test with my own XZ3. However I would want to wait for the XZ2 DRM fix to be fully working before committing to it, if you can understand. I've had dust between the sensor and lens of my Z2 and Z5 (loose back cover and cracked screen respectively), so this is the first time in years I actually have a fully working phone camera, haha.

Of course, follow the twrp xz2 thread
I will make a status update after storms DRMfix installation routine works
The fix itself is working, I tested it in the XZ2 XZ2C and XZ2P
You can write me a PM, after you wants to test
But we first make sure that there is no Sony bootloader upgrade needed to boot modified bootimages
The XZ2 and XZ2c is sharing now the same firmware as the XZ3 (all are Tama platform)
After I adapt twrp on pie and someone helps me, I could start tryjng to create twrp for the XZ3.
if u haven't already created twrp for xz3, im willing to help!!! want to root my xz3 badly...

The single problem was the missing tester.
No one asked me :silly:
But let's wait for the next monthly patch or I would need to patch the twrp again. :silly:
Send me a message after you receives it
But be aware that I only have limited free time to work on it
ok sounds great, I understand/appreciate your limited free time.

My H9493 (HONGKONG) couldn't enable oem unlocking in developer options. I have tried Pattern+VPN+Google account, no luck.
I think no official unlock is available currently for XZ3.
Since you cannot find the device name on the Sony dev page.

The XZ2c, XZ2 and XZ3 are very similar.
I wouldn't wonder, if someone would maintain these devices at once.
Maybe the XZ2P, too.
But at first we need to be patient.
We XZ2 owners for our first Custom Stock Room yesterday.
You may loose your camera after unlocking.
On the XZ2/compact/premium the december patch broke the camera for unlocked devices. It shoot green pictures.
Downgrading to the november patch fixed it.
But we only have a working camera on the XZ2 devices, because we used a drmfix on oreo before.
I don't know if the same problem will happen on the XZ3, but if you really need the camera, i would wait for one to test the unlocking first.
At the moment, there is no PIE DRMfix.
PS:
Of course, AOSP will have a working camera, but the camera is not fully implemented at the moment.
But it will.
Is it possible to enable RAW Support on rooted AOSP-Roms on Xperia Phones? Maybe GCam works then? This phone really needs it!
Last hope before selling this beautiful phone.

Wait, so unlocking the bootloader only affects the camera on the stock ROM, while a custom one is a totally different story? Did I get that right?

Unlock the bootloader on latest PIE.
The preview and photos will be fine.
Except the low light anti noise feature.
The aosp has its own hardware drivers, independent from stock.
But there are many partitions in the phone from the stock used by aosp except the big ones you flash.
Hi guys,
I need help. Last time i root some phone it was lg g2.
I just upgrade my Xzp to Pie.
Can someone give me link to Root for Pie and for Magisk that work on 9.0
And will i crash something if i root(camera etc)..
Sry I'm noob, i was out for a long time so here is a lot of topic.
If someone can give me link for root that work in 9.0 i would much appreciate
You'd better wait for DRMfix bofore rooting~
Wait that why i ask for help..I don`t know steps..I thought Sony let bootloader to be unlocked.
If i unlock bootloader and root i will lose drm keys?
