It's working again! Even after getting my drm keys lost, BE2 is working after the 4.4 update! still having BL unlocked, running stock kernel not rooted
I was hoping for this after reading this tweet from DooMLoRD some time ago.
Anyone else confirm it? If so, my bootloader will remain unlocked after rooting KitKat.

Works. Unlocked bootloader, 10.5.A.0.230 Generich Schweiz and DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel -> link
even in movies?
So we can use any custom kernel and bravia engine works?

will this only work if you are previously unlock the bootloader then upgrade to KitKat
or
will it also work if you unlock the bootloader after you upgrade to KitKat ?

More sounds like as long as you have 4.4, DRM stuffs like BE2 will work anyway. Awaiting for confirmation from devs.
maybe someone who claims it to be working can post before and after pictures of BE? although it can be easily done with PS, im sure no one here is immature enough to pull of something like that. :angel:
bump up!!
m really interested in this.... devlprs pls confirm
How can I know is working?
Upgrade to 4.4 and see if there's a difference in picture quality with bravia on and off.

correct me if I'm wrong .. but I think Bravia engine is a post-processing system .. so it doesn't really matter how you took the picture ..
you can actually notice some (subtle) changes happening when you look at the picture at Album with BE on ..
the same goes with Video ..
posting pictures here would not make any different, because the raw data is the same ..

You're both wrong. I didn't talk about taking pictures but on taking screenshots. It's different when u use screenshot option, u collect information in real time from ur screen so BE2 effects will be visible on screenshoot image. Take screenshot (in xperia album app) with on and off and compare it on ur PC.
There are a few things flashed to TA so it's possible, but wouldn't that work only if you flash using Emma?
As seus and pc companion don't work with unlocked bl.
The custom ftf around don't flash anything to ta.
I relocked bootloader and restored my Ta so can't say what it did as I wasn't paying attention, might be worth experimenting with.
Just a quick musing.
If it has restored drm, then I wonder if unlocking would improve camera quality on custom roms.

I'd guess that it's removed the DRM checks from BE2 etc rather than restoring the DRM keys to the TA partition. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem likely that the unique DRM keys could be generated and pushed to the TA partition by an update.

Yes everyone now knows that unlocking the bootloader breaks camera, but strangely not with the elves and t-rex stuff, as I was still able to take pictures as long as those filters were on. I just clicked on the t-rex picture in the widget. I really think this is a bug and not related to sony software or else why would pictures of t-rex on my desktop computer still work? running the.34 uk unbranded firmware on C6903.
Also worth noting, I forgot to yank my 64gb micro sd card, and it isn't erased.

Don't know if there is a way but as a warning to everyone else, you should always backup your TA partition before messing around with the bootloader. In fact, it's so easy, that you should back it up even if you don't.

At the moment, I think that the only solution would be to backup apps and games is using an app called Helium. As far as I know that is the only working solution available on the market. Users have reported that the free version does not always work properly and that the safest would be to use the 5$ premium version of the app and to backup to a cloud storage, so I would recommend buying the premium app. Here is a link to the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license&hl=en
You can backup your photos by either choosing cloud synching in Google+, Dropbox or any alternative storage or by transferring them over to your computer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&hl=en
Don't forget to backup your text messages as well. The following app works well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
And also any saved wifi networks using the following app:

So, what do you guys think about this update? Is it really worth it? Curious to know.
The biggest reason for me to change was to get Remote Play to link with my PS4. Also, the applications button is now shifted to the middle of the bottom edge. Other than that, I haven't noticed any huge changes that blew me away.
Remote Play is pretty cool though, tried it out for a little bit last night and it was good enough to play Call of Duty campaign mode.

Well, technically, it's not such a big deal, to swap kernels/ramdisk with an unlocked bootloader. It's a simple edit. But, at this point, it would mean unlocking bootloader, and losing DRM keys (still not sure what functions besides some lost advanced camera functions, not that anybody uses the camera anyhow except for skype).
Under the old rooting, it used an exploit to modify ramdisk, (and install the necessary apps), without unlocking bootloader via an exploit.
As for me, I will wait a couple weeks and see if there's a new exploit. If not, well, I will do the above method.

Basically DRM keys are used to see if you have unlocked the device (in the past). So mainly for Sony to check if your warranty is still valid.
There is a tool that will backup your DRM keys though, and can restore it too. You just need root for that (just downgrade, root, backup keys and upgrade again) Just Google Xperia DRM backup and you're bound to find out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
This page contains the latest zip file to restore drm functions. All you need to do now is to do a factory reset and flash the zip,no more back and forth with firmware versions and such.
Like so many others, I unlocked my Z3 D6653's bootloader before Sony made the announcement on their page that unlocking the bootloader will result in losing DRM keys and therefore also losing nice phone features like x-reality, super vivid, low light camera algorithms, Bravia Engine etc..
After a few months of waiting, someone from here actually may have found some sort of solution (or workaround) .. view full thread here if you're interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
The instructions for Sony Xperia's vary.. but after a handful of trial and error, I managed to get mine to work by following this instruction from the same thread above:
Quote:
Originally Posted by boolee
1.Flash ftf file "23.0.1.A.5.77" by Flashtool. - Wipe appslog, cache, data - and reset customizations
2.Relock bootloader by Flashtool.
3.Flash ftf file "23.0.1.A.5.77" by Flashtool AGAIN. - Wipe appslog, cache, data
4.Unlock bootloader by Flashtool.
5.Flash boot.img "AndroPlusKernel v12" by Fastboot.
6.Install DRM restore zip by TWRP.
7.reboot.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
flashtool
.77 based firmware for D6653 (I tried several firmwares but the one that worked for me was the .77 firmware for PH market downloaded from flashtool)
AndrosPlusKernel v15 (extracted boot.img from the zip to be flashed)
DRM restore zip from that original thread above (placed in sd card)
Note - Key here is to not restart/boot the phone after each step in the instructions above. Just keep phone off and unplugged after each step. I realized that leaving the phone connected in flashmode for a while will make it boot, so I just unplugged it while waiting for flashtool to prepare FTF for flashing. Then plug it in again with vol down button pressed.
Results:
Unlike my previous attempts of trying to recover DRM functions, I did not see any difference using the Album app, no matter what settings I changed in display. (xreality, super vivid etc) But after following the steps above, I immediately see changes when I change the display settings. Changing the settings and going back to the Album app, I see that the pictures will darken or lighten a bit depending on what I choose. I have yet to try Miracast or PS4 remote as I do not have any of those hardware to test.
Warning:
Now, I am not saying that this will work for everybody. It worked for me and hopefully it will also work for those who have gone and unlocked their BL and ended up with a phone with lesser features. I am not saying that you should go ahead and unlock your BL.
Notes:
If you're willing to try the steps, you may want to thank the original thread starter from the link above. Also, please post feedbacks here and give info of what version of Z3 you are using. The original thread is a bit of a jungle with all Z users posting all sorts of info.
I am not taking any credit for the instructions or tools, just merely passing information along to my fellow z3 users.
The drm function has also worked for me on. 77 firmware.
Thanks mate taking your time to post instructions for others benefit

This is NOT really restore DRM !
Once you UL all DRM will be destroy.
This only copy a patched drm lib so the drm function work again, so drm "function" restore.

Any way to compare DRM vs. patched DRM?
Due to it being unique for every device, it will always compare differently.
I have seen this a couple of days ago, I was actually wondering if Remote Play (PS4) gets restored as well. I know it is not specified in the patch thread, but would be the only feature left out from this fix! Has anyone tried to use it?
do we really need AndroPlusKernel v12 kernel for this?
I can confirm PS4 Remote play doesn't work after doing this, it still shows C-80F80A01 error.

After numerous tries i finally successfully restored DRM functions - the trick for me was to not turn the device on.
Now i'm wondering, can i flash new versions of the kernel(Andro) and other flashables, without losing the DRM funcions. Should i reflash the DRM.zip every time i flash some a new version of the kernel or it's just 1 time thing?
Update to newest fw, unlock bootloader, , flash this boot and this recovery
When that's done you can flash either su, magisk via TWRP to get root.
Let us know how it goes!

It's not only about proprietary apps. It's about advanced functions for both camera and music. There will be no noise canceling and other algorithms that make the backbone of decent looking pics and videos. That's why everyone is freaked about the TA backup. They're unique and cannot be used from another XZp. Relocking the BL won't do a thing since those keys are buh-bye forever. I for once bought this beauty for the looks, camera, and music (-ish), but I'll miss Xposed FW like crazy (hopefully we'll have xposed for N soon).
Best thing to do now is to wait for a custom kernel that restores those functions - it's just around the corner.
sorry for spamming the forum - got bored at work. still - DRM functionality is pretty important.

I am fully aware what losing the drm-keys does and I simply do not care about it, since you can simply apply the drm-fix and be on your way.
When I got my XZs I rooted it instantly, applied the drm-fix and continued as normal.
For me, root is always #1 and I'm more than happy to lose the drm-keys to get it.

Totally agree.. I now found out there is a DRM fix. I thought it would take some time. I'm one day away from my XZp

Have you tried twrp-3.0.2-4-kagura.img instead? That always worked for me..

Tried 3.0.2-0, 3.0.2-4, 3.1.0-0, 3.1.1-0 kaguras, still no luck via 'fastboot boot <recoveryfilename>'
How about you? Have you unlocked your bootloader yet? Have you found a custom recovery that works? I really really want to root this device.

I am fully aware what losing the drm-keys does and I simply do not care about it, since you can simply apply the drm-fix and be on your way.....

Well I on the other hand didn't know that
It's been a while since my last Xperia and this is ridiculous, to lose essential features that makes it different to other phone just from unlocking the bootloader? Seriously?

He tagged me so had to reply.
It's not really ridiculous at all. It's a choice you make. Either you keep it locked and use it without root or you unlock it.
With the drm-fix you don't really lose the features.
And not yet but I will as soon as I get my second pink .
I'm screwed....just took a photo to look how bad the result would be after bootloader unlock and it's just the worst experience ever.
No photo could be taken, all shots just gave me literally full blank green picture (no picture at all!). Video works normally I think...
Oh my....what did I just do

You have to wait for a custom kernel that has drm-fix included and it will be fine again.
But your warranty is now gone.
