Hi guys! So I have to take my T to service for repair..I already restored my TA partition and it says again bootloader allow status YES, so I guess now it is locked again. Wiped everything etc..anything else I should do before to return it? How can I check if the drm keys are back? Bravia engine working again etc? Other things I am forgetting? Thanks in advance bye!!

For BRAVIA Engine,just turn on & watch pictures using stock Album app,then do same when you untick it.
And it should be unrooted

Why it doesn't say here if the loader is locked or not?
You are probably using @dstrikersZ1 rom.
He changed something in system that causes that status. He said it would fix Z3's Update Center...but it didn't
Flash stock ftf and try again.

I will try. I see that X reallity and super vivid are working in photos and the camera pictures in low light are ok. Does that mean that is locked?

The steps are not that much complex. The Backup might be corrupted. So just do a dry run using the Backup file. A Dry run is like actual restore but it wont do restore at the last step. So you can check the file integrity using this. Also how do you make sure BE is not working?? Can You use track ID ??

Okay then your best options are to Flash Original Firmware again and hope that its cleared this time. Be sure to Clean Install this time.

When you are flashing in Flashtool, flash everything including, kernel, TA, etc. So in this way you will get your original TA

your Backup looks ok.. Still I don't get why is it not restoring TA. Did you take backup before unlocking or not??

Have you looked in the service mode?
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in the dailer.
Select service tests, security, all keys in there should state ok.

why do not forget to backup TA
Hi there,
I asked this question before, but last time I got some confusing answers with regards to needing root.
The problem: My phone is slowing down and I want to wipe it completely (no system/app data left over) and restore it to factory defaults, preferably running 5.1.1.
What's the best/easiest way to do this? Will flashing the new firmware clear everything the way I want? I don't want to root, unlock the bootloader or lose the DRM keys, just a standard wipe.
On a firmware note, does anyone know where I can get Bell Canada 5.1.1 firmware?
Thanks a lot!
Foaric
Download FlashTool and there is XperiFirm to download the firmware you need
Just flash it, and you start from stock
I think just a standard factory reset should do this.

Great! So flashing will clear all the system/user data while leaving the DRM data intact? I'm looking to do it so that there's nothing left over to slow down the phone.
Thanks,
Foaric

The DRM are loosing only when you want to unlock your bootloader
But as mcgrathpatj said, try a factory reset in first
hello i have a xperia z3c 5803 and I want to restore it back to stock. i have backed up the drm keys (ta.img) from before, currently running custom rom slimlp and its an unlocked bootloader. What do i have to do first and how?
If you want to do a complete wipe and clean install it back to stock, use the Sony PC Companion software. There is an option to perform a clean reinstall somewhere. I know there is the option because I've done it but can't remember right now where it is.

Sorry, no clue. I am quite a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Hopefully someone else can help you out.
Hello dear friends.
I'd love to go back to to stock. I unrooted my phone and flashed the stock recovery.
Now I'd love to relock the bootloader. Will that procedure wipe the content on my phone? If so, is there any way to avoid the wipe?
Thanks.

No mate, there is no way to avoid the factory reset

Backup Your P20pro, using HiSuite on a PC then restore after relocking bootloader - won’t be 100% perfect but almost all apps data and settings will be recovered

Never used anything for backup outside of TitaniumBackup, but will give this rootless solution a try, thanks.
I have so many things set up, it would take weeks to get everything back in place.
