Bringing some bad news for those who already unlocked their bootloader.
But sony confirms bad image quality on z3 and z3 compact on unlocked bootloader due to DRM keys (some noise reduction algorithms and other may be lost.

Just a heads up, this has always been the case with previous Xperias.
I know. I just want to let the people know.
In my opinion, there is no such a ROM worth to broke camera functionality.
If people just want to root their Z3, do they still need to unlock the bootloader?
My Z1 is rooted and the bootloader is still locked.

For now, only root methos is with unlocked bootloader. We will need to wait for a while to have proper root with locked bootloader.
Well, The Z3 is not listed as one of the supported devices for unlocking, so no fault of Sony here....

So what ? Z3 compact is in the list, but unlocking BL on Z3c broke functionality anyway. See the photos on xperiablog. So it doesn`t make any sense at all...
I`m so upset
BIONZ processing algorithm is replaced with a generic algorithm that reduces the quality. The issue was the same on the Z1 on pre-4.3 firmware.
Sony will fix this later, I hope.

I don't own a Z3/Z3c but if it uses the TA partition to store the DRM keys, then Backup TA should be used before unlocking the BL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
However, the Backup TA team did not yet included Z3/Z3c in the list of supported devices (see the above thread).
You may want to ask there if the tool works for Z3/Z3c as well.
If it works, you will be able to restore the DRM keys after.
But, I'd rather wait for a root exploit that doesn't need you to unlock the BL...
That tool requires root so the Z3/Z3c isn't going to be supported until we get a root exploit. Everything depends on that right now.

It's sure Backup TA would work properly, but the problem is that Backup TA needs root too.
That's why we need an exploit first.
Hello everyone, I was looking at this device as a new toy. However, unlocking the bootloader for me is a must with any device I buy. I have yet to own a Sony. Can anyone tell me how big of a difference is the camera once you unlock the bootloader? Is it a small difference or a major issue? Thanks in advance!

On xperia z3 is MAJOR. I would advise to wait for proper root method, and support from TA backup app to backup your DRM first, and then to test your self.
This way, if you dont like it, you can restore your DRM with TA backup.

When the bootloader is unlocked, the device loses certain DRM security keys. That means you can't purchase content from Sony's storefronts and a few licensed features won't work, but it apparently also means basic features of the phone are negatively affected. A Sony rep has confirmed that some advanced camera algorithms on the new generation of devices like the Z3 and Z3 Compact are protected by DRM. If you unlock the phone, those features stop working. Apparently that causes photos in low-light to be noisier and poorly balanced.
Update: Sony has updated the text of the bootloader unlock warning on its website to be clear about the camera impact. It reads, "...the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected."
I have an unlocked z1c but when I compare the photos taken with previously locked BL and after unlocked, I don't found any different(they are all poor actually...lol).

No, it is the case. Because this thread on Z3 board said Bionz still works for unlocked BL, it is just the low light algorithm disabled. So, I think unlocked BL won't hurt focus performance but low light photo will get worse. On 4.3, Bionz doesn't work on unlocked BL.
Anyway, I'm considering to relock my Z1c now, I've been backup my TA before unlock it.

To unlock the Xperia™ Z1 boot loader, you must make sure your device is on software build 14.2.A.0.290 (Android 4.3) or later. Unlocking the boot loader on earlier software versions will stop the camera functionality.
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:
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.

Yes, you really need to read it next time carefully because it turns out you donno what are you speaking. We are now talking about the low light algorithm, not the camera or Bionz could work or not on earlier roms.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Plus Sony just updated on their site regarding unlock BL: Also, a custom ROM might not work properly on your device, and certain functions and offerings may cease to work. The performance of the device might also be affected, and you may damage your device permanently. In worst case, unlocking the boot loader will cause physical injuries or material damage, for example, due to the device overheating.
Certain pre-loaded content on your device may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys. For high-end devices running recent software versions, for instance Xperia Z3, the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected. The secure user data partition may also become inaccessible, and you will not be able to get any more official software upgrades if you unlock the boot loader.
Everything you said must be know for EVERY phone from ANY manufacture.
And also, many of this information is for Z3, not Z1.
Please select z1 from drop-down menu and then read.

When they fixed the camera problem on 4.4.2, they also 'forgot' to remove the DRM files, hence bionz and x-reality fully working with an unlocked bootloader. They ~fixed~ it now on 4.4.4, as both don't work anymore on unlocked bootloader.

Well, you could downgrade to 4.4.2 and stay there, because back when I had it (with unlocked bootloader and all sony stuff working) and updated to 4.4.4, they stopped working and didn't came back when I relocked my bootloader. I had to reflash the rom to get x-reality and bionz working again.

what you mean? the bionz is working now but the x-reality isn't.and i think the DRM keys are also missig if you have UBL and maybe that means lower picture quality and more noise
I'm pretty sure this apply on Z1 as well
As we have threads of experiment before, showing that Z1 is not bad in low light condition but become much worse after unlocking
(I unlocked anyway, for faux sound control and t2w)

[discussion][root] with [locked bl], vulnerabilities Snapdragon on <March2016 Android
There's an interesting article that got me thinking:
http://buysoft.greatsoftline.com/vu...m-snapdragon-chip-allow-for-easy-root-access/
CVE-2016-0819 vulnerability
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We discovered this particular vulnerability, which is described as a logic bug when an object within the kernel is freed. A node is deleted twice before it is freed. This causes an information leakage and a Use After Free issue in Android. (UAF issues are well-known for being at the heart of exploits, particularly in Internet Explorer.)
CVE-2016-0805 vulnerability
This particular vulnerability lies in the function get_krait_evtinfo. (Krait refers to the processor core used by several Snapdragon processors). The function returns an index for an array; however, the validation of the inputs of this function are not sufficient. As a result, when the array krait_functions is accessed by the functions krait_clearpmu and krait_evt_setup, an out-of-bounds access results. This can be useful as part of a multiple exploit attack.
Gaining root access
Using these two exploits, one can gain root access on a Snapdragon-powered Android device. This can be done via a malicious app on the device. To prevent further attacks that may target either the patched vulnerabilities or similar ones that have yet to be discovered, security experts are not disclosing the full details of this attack.
Trend Micro researchers will disclose the full details of exactly how to leverage the bugs at the upcoming Hack In The Box security conference in the Netherlands to be held in late May 2016.

Is it possible to port this root method on M with LB for z3 ????? They have the same problem with DRM keys like us.... But they win.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/...oid-6-0-mm-t3337357/post65856403#post65856403
thanx.
I don't think there will be a way to root z5 with LB unfortunatelly.
The method there needs a custom recovery installed which is possible on Z3 due to an exploit used on an early firmware. Since there's no such achievement yet on the Z5 you will already fail with the first task and any other following.
Since they've made their success public before the final firmware is out Sony has enough time to fix everything else.
some people say the z5 and z3 use the same hardware and could technically use the z3 rom to root the z5.
however, the heading of this post should change. i thought we finally have root on the z5 family only to find out that it's just a post talking about root on the z3.....

I didn't know those information were to be disclosed in May, instead of being kept secret. Good news from our point of view...
I think that, if the vulnerabilities could be exploited also on the Z5 line (every exploit needs to be verified practically), then we could gain temporary shell root/system priviledge to backup the TA partition. If i remember well, we cannot achieve permanent root on locked bootloader, as the /system protection SONYric is embedded in the stock kernel image.
We would need some mobile flashing tool like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334554
I think i misunderstood. The problem is the Verified Boot ("dm-verity") check introduced in Z3+/Z4 and Z5 line.
We cannot get permanent root because this would involve modified kernel (to write on /system partition), which would not boot using a Locked bootloader because of Verified boot process that uses an OEM key.
The whole process is described here: https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html
Google intention is (or was) to allow the boot process, after a red warning, if the verification of the kernel image didn't succeed on a locked bootloader... But Sony devices bootloop without showing any warning and so the user is not allowed to continue (source: https://androplus.org/Entry/843/ thanks to the developer).
So, on locked bootloaders, it's impossible to have permanent root apps, xposed ,.... unless someone finds a hole in the bootloader (someone found a hole in Motorola's bootloader) or the OEM key gets copied and is used to sign modified firmwares...just exciting dreams.
Anyone, correct me if i'm wrong.

Personally, not having permanent root on a locked bootloader is fine with me. I just need temp root to back up TA partition.
I am pretty sure the rest of the Z5 owners who are not yet unlock are waiting to backup TA partition before doing anything else.
there already is a way to restore credentials to use the bravia engine and the sony goodies. but ultimately, people would like to keep their TA keys (something which they paid for) instead of losing them once they unlock bootloader.

That's the systemless root, where root is achieve without changing the system file.
but this kind of root requires modified boot image, which cannot be done without unlocked bootloader....
root is becoming harder to achieve as the years pass. with samdung introducing their crap knox and sony with dm-verify etc etc.. android is fast becoming another apple where everything is being locked up and end users are forced to adhere to the way their phones are "supposed" to be used.

you will face the same issue(s), contrary to the guide posted above I would encourage you to backup the TA partition, you can not use the tool in the described in the guide called iovyroot for X compact you will need to use the dirty cow exploit
EDIT: Btw. Flashtool can also do the dirty cow exploit and retrieve the backup.
and although the also guide goes on about nobody knows what widedevine is anyway bla bla.
I can tell you its used for; drm video like amazon prime, Netflix, hbo, etc. so if you plan on using most drm protected video services on your phone, its a thing to also take into consideration (if used any of them on a pc you probably already battled a bit with widevine heh). I am pretty sure the genesis kernel 'fixes' or emulate this without the real drm key from a backup, (I did not check before restoring my own) which would make it the only one on XC atm.
--- edit 2018-11-03 ---
Tools to backup TA partition before bootloader unlock have been released.
Just check the [XZ1c/XZ1/XZp] temp root exploit to backup drm keys implemented thread.

Just wondering if there is already drm keys backup procedure for XZ Premium and if not, if there is still some interest to get it done.
I am getting very close with this task with my XZ1 Compact, so just wondering, if I should try to make the exploit compatible also with xzp - i.e. if there is still some interest or not.
The effort to do such thing is not marginal and obviously I cannot test it not having xzp device.

Yes I'm very interested ! And i think not be alone...
Thank-you for this work , thought it never happen
i can only speak for my previous speaker. DRM backup is the only thing keeping me from rooting my device. i can remember when i got my Z1. only 10 minutes after i unwrapped it drm backup and flashing till dawn.
Yea i'm very very interested ??
I'd definitely be interested in DRM key backup
definatly interested!!
WOULD BE VERY GREATFULL!!!
this is the only thing keeping me from rooting
and im also willing to chip in if it requires and not only me plenty of others
I'm also very interested! Not having a way to backup drm keys is the only thing that keeps me from rooting
hello @j4nn me too im interrested for root my phone but with backup ! i don't want kill my drm keys forever and kill my phone ! thank you for your work !!!
Super interested, if i can backup the drm keys , my xzp will be rooted from day one!
Same here. if you get this done I will kiss you. I miss rooting my phone with keys backed up.
me too
We are getting close, initial test shall be done soon.
Preview video available in my XZ1c exploits thread.
Would we need to downgrade firmware in order to do this?
Sure, fw needs to be downgraded in order to get rootable kernel (which contains a bug that is to be exploited to get a temp root).
Sign me up. I will do the all the tasting. I have a dual sim variant.
