Need Your Help!!! - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys, I have a question.
I had no idea about DRM key loss and its results untill I unlocked my c6603
Now everything seems OK except camera. When I take picture, they too noisy.
Quality doesn't satisfy me. Do you know any solution to increase the picture quality?
P.S DRM restore tool doesn't seem to work for me(

if you had backed up your TA partition just before you unlock bootloader for first time ,then you could restore that backup using TA backup/restore tool and get your DRM keys back, this is the only way to re-enable sony noise reduction system.
but for picture quality you can use 3rd party apps in market like camera fv-5 but don't expect miracles.
press thanks if you find this helpfull.

[Q] Xperia Z1 Camera

There is no way to get the original resolution on the camera after unlocking the bootloader?
I mean, after u unlock the bootloader, the photos that u take are not the same photos that u taked before, the photos have a really bad quality
so i cant take the same photos that i taked after i unlocked the bootloader? (i really lose all the point of the 20,7mp camera, cause a 2 mp camera take better photos than my z1 camera, i relocked the bootloader with the backup ta, and the camera is the same, cant get the same quality that i have after i unlocked it) (and no, nobody says that unlocking the bootloader will make your camera to have a really bad quality, the same happens with z2 and z3)

How to fix camera after root?

I rooted my Xperia XZ1 compact. Now the camera is very grainy. How can this be fixed? I didn't backup DRM keys before rooting.
You can't. You lose some camera features after you root without restoring the DRM keys.
I've also rooted the phone but didn't do any backups of anything. I've noticed no difference in the camera quality before/after rooting. What did I lose? I've also read about photos turning green or something, what is that? What are DRM keys?

You will have lost some quality in your photos and lost access to certain features. What does your service menu/security screen look like? https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unlock-bootloader-drm-fix-camera/

xz1 compact strange problem with photo on stock rom Oreo 47.1.A.16.20 (G8441 lilac)

Goodmorning everyone.
i have a problem with sony xz1 compact.
I state that I use it as a test phone to experiment, so I don't care about DRM keys, etc.
- I have bootloader unlocked
- I have twrp installed
- I have tested and installed several custom roms and the camera has always worked (without green photos for clarity)
- Kernel 4.4.78-perf+ [email protected] #1 Wed Aug 22 11:48:47 2018
From a custom ROM, I tried to restore the official Android 9.0.0 pie firmware - 47.2.A.11.228 with Sony Emma and the camera works perfectly for both front and rear photos and videos (without green photos for clarity)
as a test, again with Sony Emma, ​​I restored Oreo stock rom 47.1.A.16.20 and here the problems with the camera started.
I'll explain
Immediately after the restoration of Oreo, the camera only took green photos both frontally and in the rear, but recorded videos correctly both frontally and in the rear.
I left the phone charging all night, and magically the camera started working again (no green photos both in front and behind)
I thought the problem was solved.
Instead it seems that when I activate the stock camera, randomly the problem of the green photos reappears and after 4 photos taken ONLY with the front camera, the problem disappears and the rear camera works perfectly again.
But if I close and reopen the camera stock app the problem starts again. So after 4 photos taken ONLY with the front camera, the problem disappears and the rear camera works perfectly too.
If I switch again from Oreo to PIE with a restore with Sony Emma (official Android 9.0.0 pie firmware - 47.2.A.11.228) the camera works perfectly (never green photos)
This is strange and I don't understand it
Did you also run into this problem?
Do you have any solution?
I ask because i WANT to use stock rom with oreo and magisk module to be able to use sdcard as internal memory because with andoid 9 pie stock and with ROM it cannot use
- Sorry for my bad english-

It's well documented that unlocking the BL creates issues with the camera on Oreo, so I have little sympathy for those that can't be bothered to spend half an hour backing up and restoring their TA partition. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
That said, you can try this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oted-kernel-hiding-bootloader-unlock-t3898711, but if that doesn't work then you'll be stuck with the issue.
Thanks for the reply and for not being nice.
Since I bought it used, it could be that the DRM keys had already been lost, don't you think ??
I have little sympathy for those who do not know all facts and sentence.

Me posting a link in an attempt to help you resolve your issue was me being nice. You did say, "I state that I use it as a test phone to experiment, so I don't care about DRM keys, etc.", so if you bought it that way then "I have little sympathy for those who do not know all facts" or researching a device before buying.
We started with some misunderstandings.
I really appreciated your help.
Each one buys phones for their own reasons.
Anyway, I solved the camera problems thanks to this post:

Everything works perfectly on Oreo stock rom 47.1.A.16.20 without green photos and with SuperSU installed

I'd be more tempted to use a solution that is only a year old than one that is three. SuperSu in 2020=scart, Magisk in 2020=HDMI, but if it works and you're happy, that's all that matters.
just a test to see if an old folder-mounting app works

What are losted after unlocking bootloader?

Hello all,
I know unlocking the bootloader will lost some functionalities but what are losted is a bit vague. Some say the camera will green screen and some say it won't. I'm very confused.
I specifically want to know if unlocking the bootloader will affect screen quality, e.g. color accuracy, white balance, HDR.
I also found out the TA partion can be backed up but had anyone able to restore it after?
Thanks in advance.
