Glad to hear that realy because I totaly redesigned your trim area, great!! Thanks a lot!!
So trimarea is finally cracked? We can now theoretically backup drm keys even without root, by crafting our own ta?
Dude, if you get this working you'll become a legend :victory:
I'm very tempted to send you my unlocked ta so you try it your method works on x compact, but i don't know if I'm brave enough to brick my only daily driver :p

yes! :) I don't see a reason why it should not work, in theory its done. Now things must be confirmed, for example I need first to make a list of supported device before I start working on a tool for it, tool is already done but need some time to settle since touching trim area is realy risky. You can help me with your trim area? If yes do this please and send me your dump for analyse

I've been following this thread pretty closely as I have a locked Xperia XZ that needs rooting while keeping TA.

As long as I don't risk hard bricking it, is there anything I can do to help?

You have X?? And have no root? Do not unlock please! Wait a root first! You can dump your drm unit 1046b using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69850169&postcount=59 but don't unlock please! I can't guarant in success finding drm key in unlocked trim area and also ta tool is just work in progress!

Test passed. It works flawlessly! :good:

Hell yeah \m/
I can't stay away from here for some few time and magic does happen! No way!!
I started this thread with a simple dirtycow "debloat" script, and now, due some awesome people, it has some of most exciting stuff for all Xperia X line up users! That's amazing!!!!!!

@p0kemon @istux @rayman and all people involved... Respect!!

Great! You can use p0kemon's tool to extract ta units,then send them to him.
After that, i guess you should wait on rayman to release the ta backup tool,so you can backup ta,then unlock the way p0kemon described in his post
Well I'm going to send @p0kemon my original Z5 locked bootloader TA, plus an unlocked TA using the "no wipe, no fastboot" method. Hopefully it will provide an insight into the DRM key location for 64 bit devices.

On X Compact (Stock MM, locked BL) running p0kemon's binary after OP temp root gives: "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported."
