Hi,
I have Sony Ericcson Xperia Mini Pro manufactured in 12W31. I want to ask, if the only method to unlock bootloader is the official one and if there is no method to backup DRM keys. Because testpoint method dont work (because of date) and TA backup tool is only for Sony Xperias. Thanks for answers.

The OP in this thread used the S1Tool to do it without losing the DRM keys and warranty. He eventually did it as he has mentioned in the first post itself by editing it. If it worked for him, it should work for you too. I hope this helps.
Why do you need DRM?

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!

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, 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: .
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!
