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]

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.
anyways. thanks for your time and help!

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
Hi!
Maybe someone can help me with my SGP611 - i read lots of threads but still have no idea, what is possible and how it works.
I am already on Lollipop 5.0.2 (23.1.A.0.690) and I am searching for a solution to root this without loosing my DRM-Keys.
Since I didn't find anything about it, is there maybe any way to downgrade it a flash a pre-rooted firmware or anything like this?
I think rooting 23.1.A.0.690 is not yet possible, right?
I would be very glad, if anyone could help me or provide some information on this!
I am finding too.....

I have the SGP612, 32GB version. Before I update to Lollipop, I want to make a backup of my tablet plus the DRM keys so I can keep everything in case something goes wrong. I'm trying to follow soe guides, but the TA Backup doesn't recognize my tablet. What goes on? ?_?
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

Dude go read other comments in the root topic and you will find you awnser. Is it that hard to take some time and do some research before asking some **** thats been awnserd a 1000000000 times
Hello. I am not very familiar with flashing and rooting stuff, so I would like some help (I do not want to brick my phone)
I have the single sim, and nougat 7 installed. So. I have already unlocked my bootloader (and lost my DRM keys, did not backup).
Question 1: There is a thread on how to root it and as far as I understand I need to roll back to android 6, and flash the .img kernel and then it's rooted? The instructions are very unclear, and badly written. Is this the way to root or I'm wrong? There is no root for android 7 yet, right?
Question 2: Is there a way to bring back the lost DRM features of the camera and the x-reality engine? How? I had found a thread saying how to do it some time ago but I've lost it.
I have read a lot of threads but it's not simple enough for me to understand. Any help would make me very happy
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: .
