Hi, everyone.
I'm a noob and I'm curious about TA and DRM.
Is backup needed when the warranty is no longer available? Honestly I don't really care about it because I never backup TA on my previous phone (XM4a and miro), but now I'm afriad the services on my Z5c is not working.
Because many xperia users got problem in camera app and sound especially Z series.
I've searched on google but I can not find the answer, so please give me light .
Thanks :highfive: .

Hey I just recently purchased a GOOGLE PLAY EDITION SONY XPERIA Z ULTRA
i was wondering if someone could post links and steps, briefly, of how to root this device. also what rome would i be able to flash once i root the device?
I looked around but couldn't really figure out what is necessary
for example: what is the TA PARTITION BACKUP.
im not really worried about losing personal data as i don't have much on the phone, i just purchased it.

Almost all you need to know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2742236
TA is the trim area, and a backup is needed if you ever need to get it back to 'how you brought it', it contains DRM keys amongst other things
Hey all, I've just got my Z5C the other day and just can't seem to get on with it due to the lack of gravitybox tweaks I've been spoiled by and other things like DPI changing without breaking swiftkey.
I'm on the latest firmware (32.0.A.6.152) and wondered if it was possible to root on this version? Thanks all
Yes, it is possible to root using TWRP.
To rephrase it, it is possible to root if unlocked bootloader, not possible with locked bootloader
Next to that, for me it didn't work out to install Xposed framework without running into lots of crashes and reboots (with no modules installed).
is it that hard to do forum search?
Thanks for the useful comments guys!
Just another one, on the z3 series I read about loss of camera quality due to DRM keys when unlocking the bootloader. Is this still the case for the z5?
Also, is it possible to re-lock the bootloader?
Thanks again

Hello guys,
I search on the forum but didn't find the answer for the Z5C.
I just want to know if today, can we root the phone without unlocking the bootloader ?
I mean by that, if it possible to get the root and not lost the DRM Key or other stuff like the quality of the camera ?
Maybe can I use a pre rooted rom with flashtool to get the root and no unlocking my bootloader ?
Thank you guys for answering me

No, never. Z5c is identical to Z5 and Z5P regarding base hardware and software. Sorry, but you did not search enough, 1000th post like this.
HI,
Z4 tablet WIFI, 7.1.1, 32.4.A.1.54
I would like to install LineageOS. It's pretty hard (for me) to find
reliable information how to save TA partition for above android
version, so I asked myself should I care?
What functionality exactly I would lose?
I do not use the camera at all. I use tablet to browse net, YT etc.
One important thing is that I watch movies a lot from SD card.
So should I care about TA partition?
thanks in advance!
some links and advice in my [Guide]

Hello all,
I need help rooting an old tablet z that i have. Im trying to root before unlocking the bootloader so i can backup my TA.
Mostly my problem is that all the tutorials/guides i either have broken links or they have something that doesnt work.
I have the wifi only version POLLUX_WINDY. And its running android 5.1.1, with build number 10.7.A.0.228
Is it possible for someone to help me with rooting so i can backup my TA for now?
Thank you very much.
Well after some lucky search and thanks to google translate is was able to find older versions of sony stock firmwares. I leave the link in here in case it can help someone: https://4pda-to.translate.goog/foru...uto&_x_tr_tl=pt&_x_tr_hl=pt-PT&_x_tr_pto=wapp
After going back in OS version i backed TA, and followed a guide to unlock and root the tablet.
