Root questions

[Dematen]

- The DRM Fix or Xperifix solve any feature problem or are there any functions that are irrevocably lost?
- Camera, Bravia engine, Track ID (this still available?), Noise Canceling, PS4, , Xreality, 4k video recording sony bass surround, screen mirroring and image enhancement have stopped working though when rooted?
- The OTA updates work?
- xPosed work?
- what is the benefit of using alpha Xperifix of other DRM fix rom?
- Do it is possible with XZP to downgrade to Android Marshmallow, backup drm and root it?

The DRM keys on your phone are lost forever when you unlock it. The good news is that Xperiafix fools the phone into thinking that DRM is in place, so all the higher functions still work as stock.
DRM is broken or fixed, the camera is broken or fixed, it's common misconception to think that there's a half way point where there are bad or distorted pictures or loss of quality or service..
The down side to rooting is that updates are no longer automatic and any firmware update has to be completed manually, which involves flashing multiple files.
I have root on my XZ1 compact (thanks to sToRm//'s Xperiafix) everything works perfectly, but the proccess of chasing the various firmware updates is so tiresome that I have given up.
Xposed will only work on firmware from pre May 2018. So if you have the latest firmware on your phone you will need to use Emma to downgrade your phone to an earier firmware, this isn't so easy. Installing Xposed means that you will fail any sort of security check, don't complain when Googlepay doesn't work.
If you are determined to root your phone I would advise paying $20 for sToRm//'s Xperiafix. It's the simplest way to do it and his version 3 has come along leaps and bounds from the early versions and as long as you get the right drivers (err, no easy task) and can follow instructions, you'll get there.
There are other DRM fix options available, but they involve flashing multiple files and sometime the instructions are not so clear, or support not so good if you fail.
Whichever version of the fix you decide to use, you need to know that the developer is commited to supplying all the modified files for you to reflash every time there is a firmware update.
You can go back to an M build, using Emma, but I'm not sure you'll find ina DRMfix file for an old build and if you do it will be tied to a particular firmware/region/version number. This will be the most difficult bit.
There is no backing up the DRM!

Hello,

It does not matter if you use xperifix or another, both work, the only thing that one is automatic and the other is manual.

Everything works once "Deceived the DRM", everything.

There is no software or system currently that allows you to save your DRM, even if you download MM.

Using xposed is not secure or stable. It also does not work in all versions.

With flashtool you can manually update to the desired version. Because it is newer it does not mean it is better, it will have security patches and some other change not communicated. Some versions work better than others.

Cheers ?

Hello,

That's not true. The files offered by other developers are very outdated. These are the files I developed and offered a long time ago in the first versions of XperiFIX. XperiFIX uses a different method since 2.0 and is flexible in terms of firmware and devices. It does not need a pre-customized kernel and does not depend on Sony's different firmware configurations.

What's more: Sony has made changes in the meantime, as you can already see on newer devices. XperiFIX adapts to these changes and will be able to handle the changed security features in the future. The outdated files will most likely stop working. It could even come to a brick because the old modified system file is no longer compatible with the changes. In another method, you could also find that the fix was only partially because it is integrated wrongly.

So there are very big differences in the methods. XperiFIX is now also so far that you can basically fix any device with current firmware versions (manual fix).

Thanks for the clarification, in your changelog you do not indicate anything of the mentioned here. And the truth is a great job but I think it's too expensive.

It's worth the cost compared to the other (non supported) and much more difficult solutions, that are not kept up to date with firmware rollouts.
Version 3 is so easy to use and requires no knowledge of firmware or TWRP or kernels.

Everyone is free to do what they want, the opinion is free and all are respected. If there is demand there is sale.

A user who does not know twrp, kernel or root should not manipulate the terminal, in my humble opinion. Stock is also good.
