What's the latest on Unlocking the XZ3 Bootloader - DRM (EU model - Feb 19)

While I found some good info in the 'state of root for the XZ3' Q&A, that does not work well using the XDA Labs app, and I want to be sure I know what's going on before I do something stupid.
To my understanding from a news update on XDA here, the XZ3 camera does not break when unlocking. So, here are the steps I believe I need to take (EU version from Clove)
1) Unbox, connect to my wifi and run the updates. Update level I need is at least 52.0.A.84.
2) Checkbox for unlocking now available (under development section). Unlock the bootloader. (camera works after this)?
3) Update firmware to 52.0.A.126 via xperafirm
If I want TWRP / Root
4) Install TWRP per instructions (I read that this breaks Camera again)
5) Install TWRP camera fix
6) Install Magisk and the module to fix DRM.
As I understand it, even the DRM fix will not bring back some of the Sony stuff - Triluminous display settings, xreality, dynamic contrast enhancer, LDAC audio? and dolby ATMOS? If anyone can test those and see if they work, that'd be awesome.
Are my steps correct? Am I missing anything?
TIA!

It is the unlocking step that breaks the camera, not TWRP/Magisk.

Triluminos/X-Reality/Dynamic contrast are arguably "features" that you'd rather lose than keep. In 7 years of owning Xperia devices I have never used them. There is a generic "super-vivid" mode that replaces X-Reality after unlocking the boot loader:

LDAC doesn't appear to be affected, although I don't have a suitable device to test it with:
As for Atmos, I think I uninstalled that app immediately, and it looks like it's not available as an apk that I could find easily so I can't test it for you. I think it's unaffected by the unlock, though.
Glancing over at the camera fix thread on the XZ2 forum, it looks like 163 is safe to flash (instead of 126), but 202 is unknown. If you're unlocking anyway, you might want to test it and report back whether the camera fix still works on 202. If it doesn't, you can always use Newflasher to downgrade to 163. For the time being, I'm holding off on flashing anything as the main two things I would like are Resurrection Remix and a working port of GCam with Night Sight, both of which are unavailable for the XZ3 as of writing.

Right, sorry. I meant to ask... from my reading the camera 'shouldn't' break. I suppose it's okay if it does as long as I can fix it.
Thanks for posting the screens / functional differences.

Bingo! I would LOVE to have RR, or maybe Slim available.. and yeah, a working GCAM would be amazing.
Hoping as prices fall this device gets in the hands of some more folks in the modding community... not that I have any complaints with all the work that @MartinX3 and others are providing!

Working GCam will only be on AOSP-based ROMs like Lineage and RR, and depends on full Camera2 support.

So, it is officially supported by SONY https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
but which one are up to now the benefit we can get?

The warning is full of 'ifs' and 'may bes'. Honestly, there isn't much to dislike about Sony's ROM, so I really only want the unlocked bl to root and remove Facebook.
Root is becoming less of a requirement in my eyes, but you may find some need for it.

I love that stock but I installed NOVA as now we lost also the themes...
I would get a better camera support as for the GCAM. The quality of the shoots of XZ3 is really poor. I did a comparison with my R1 and it is top-down everything.

Just an update to my original post - .126 is the current US custom version. Because I want to use VOLTE on Tmobile, I'll be using that for my base. I'd like to update to 202, but I'll need to wait for Sony to catch up

Camera Noise reduction isnt affected?

Unlocking under 202 does not affect

Hello! I'm researching which camera features are missing after unlocking this device. What I found out is: We have full Camera 2 support including RAW. So is everything fine now or is the image quality still not as good as on an unlocked device? I can't find any comparison photos.
What I also don't know yet is: Is good photo quality bound to the sony camera app or some driver or service?
Also I read about upgrading or downgrading the firmware to a target firmware to save keys for future use. I found no way to do this without unlocking the bootloader first.

my phone get bootloader unlocked no a can unlokin or not

Just bought Mi 9 Lite and I have some questions

Everytime I have had an android smartphone, I unlocked and rooted straight away. I know what benefits unlocking the bootloader and rooting the ROM bring to the whole experience of using the smartphone but I have never actually looked or thought about the negative effects of unlocking and rooting.
I just received my Mi 9 Lite last night and I am just about the unlock its bootloader and get Magisk flashed. But before I do that, I am interested in people's opinion about what they think of rooting their phone.
- Can I root the stock ROM without unlocking the bootloader? I have heard this is possible but no idea how! If yes, does it have any limitations or is it the same as rooting after unlocking the bootloader?
- Does anyone have any other valid reason for not unlocking their device except warranty and maybe system updates? They always warn you about security, system updates and finger print sensors not working etc... is this true?
About the system updates, usually Xiaomi publishes the flashable ROM on their website which I can download and flash it manually so I don't have to worry about missing out on ROM updates.
Warranty wise, I am not too concerned either.
Security wise, I don't think this is an issue too as I always know what I would be flashing and installing on my phone.
Thank you.

I used some rooted device before . Don't no what you need, but, with this phone WITH NO ROOT, it's possible to uninstall or freeze some app, using blokada, you can stop/ block many thing.... and keep a clean and fresh device, with no mod, like out of the box ; )

I'm also getting this phone, can anyone from Europe confirm if Mi 9 Lite supports Carrier Aggregation? (LTE+)

Welp. I tried unlocking yesterday and I got the message saying I need to wait 168 hours. Damn.

One reason to maybe not root/unlock is it can stop NFC payments being made?

Just got my phone and i'm super impressed so far (especially by screen), the performance is surprisingly good aswell. Now waiting 168h for bootloader unlock..

Don't try to flash or modify anything on an Xiaomi with locked bootloader, you have many different ways to hardbrick device xD ?

What version of stock rom do you use?

Hello everyone, I got few questions.
As the title says, which version of stock rom do you use? Does it have any issues, are you rooted or not, green camera even with TA keys provisioned? Asking because, while I was following tutorial I couldn't pull out TA-unlocked.img, it said that file doesn't exist. I pulled entire /data/local/tmp folder and it showed 3 renoroot files and one "g+fffffffffffffff+fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff" file which is 12kb in size. I have green camera in Oreo, so Oreo is no go for me. Looking for decent stock Pie version, because latest one has touchscreen issues, it becomes unusable for 5-6 seconds and then works and stops working. Also, someone mind directing me to which TWRP should I use for PIE to install Magisk and other things, would be really nice. Any help is wellcome.

The last pie stock "2.2.8 should not have touchscreen issues, or any other firmware. If you have issues, and you still have warranty, try to send it it. Sony, in my opinion, is notorious for their touchscreen issues. I experienced touchscreen issues on z3 compact and z5 compact EOL. I suspect the same will happen with xz1 compact, unfortunately. However I am on my 3rd original screen repair/replacement , so hopefully it will last a bit longer this time.

Phone is not under warranty, so that is out of question, also don't want to lose waterproofing. This touchscreen issue happens only on Pie, currently I can find only latest pie and latest LineageOS, who aswell have that issue, while no issue occurs on stock Oreo, besides green camera.

Have you done a full wipe when installing the latest ROM? I've updated 3 times to Pie and come back to Oreo within hours due to certain issues so you may live to regret not following the guide properly.

I did as the guide said, and I have done it all on Oreo. I have pulled TA-Locked.img and later it said to pull TA-Unlocked.img and push TA-Locked.img. I tried pulling out entire tmp folder but it had only renoroot files and weirdly named one. Then I pushed back locked img and did rest as guide says. I have attest key provisioned but not SOMC Fido and SOMC Attest. Any idea if I can still fix it?

If you still have your TA-Locked.img then yes, the unlocked one is for "(for future comparisons)".
Start from scratch with the guide and redo the restoration of the locked TA img. If it doesn't work you're doing something wrong.

Unable to unlock bootloader {RESOLVED}

This is my first time posting on this forum, please do correct me if I'm doing something wrong or haven't provided some information I should have.
DEVICE: Redmi 4x (santoni) [Indian Version] running on MIUI 11.0.2 | Stable.
I've been trying to unlock to bootloader for this device for about a month but it always seem to run into some error while running the official miunlock tool (latest). Along with the offiicial tool i've been trying to use XioamiToolV2(latest) as well but sadly it throws the same errors
I've tried most of the suggestions dropped here on XDA as well as Reddit, but none of them seem to work for me.

Hi,
Have You found solution to your redmi 4x problem?
I have the same problem, I tried all the advice I found on the internet and still nothing,
I can't unlock it.

IJ

no luck as of now. i am not going to pursue this issue any further as there's no solution available out there. peace out

It seems to be a recurring problem on this device.
I saw this and the guy says he waited 5 days for it to work.
" If unlocking does not work in first try, don't keep trying again and again (don’t try at one time)..just give a break and try unlocking again for the next week."

I installed A13 DP1 my OP10Pro(NE2215) software but it is not working with a locked bootloader.cannot get pass the password setup screen or connect any wifi also it keeps saying try another PW option.i cant fastboot any stock rom it says locked bootloaders cannot do this.I cant enable oem unlocking dot in developer settings because i cant pass setup screen.phone is stuck this stitution.any method for EDL tool or for unlock oem unlock ?

Well if you can't get past the screen you'll have to contact support and see if they can remotely flash your device with the stock software. If they can't/won't do this, you will have to send the device in for service. Without an unlocked bootloader, there's nothing you can do.
If they do it, try to snag the MSM files before they can delete them

If you hit the X in the top left, does it give you the option to skip setting a password?
EDIT: Nevermind, watched the video again and I see it just takes you back and makes you do it again.
I assume you tried factory reset from stock recovery too to make sure nothing got corrupted?
This is why I always unlock my bootloader before I tinker with anything.
Hopefully they agree to remotely flash it for you.

Ok so that's the last straw.
This is my final OnePlus device.
I really hope the tensor chip v2 does a job cos that the only avenue I'd consider at this point unless the nothing phone actually is decent.. Which I can't see.
OnePlus is screwed..
Why the hell did I sell my 8 pro.
What is the point of having a development forum for a device that isn't being developed for?
I'm done with the turd, it's a bullet taken nothing more.. I took one on the note 4 and the Evo 3D
Thought I was past all that.
Jesus.
If we were to get ROMs they'd have been out by now, it's not happening mate, period.
OnePlus is the new HTC. All that promise and no desire to stay faithful.
It is what it is, I won't buy another 1+ again.

Yeah it's incredibly disappointing that they're going so south with regards to being dev friendly, the same way Samsung did.
I tried extracting the OnePlus 10 Pro ColorOS MSM to see if it can be tweaked to flash units from other regions like regular MSM Tools can and the publicly-available decryption tools don't even work on it. I figured yeah, ColorOS sucks, but being able to unbrick and then use fastboot enhanced to get back to the right firmware would be a much better option but no, the MSM Tool they provide with it requires a technician to log in and the encryption method on the files is different from OnePlus OPS files OR Oppo OFP files.
