@YasuHamed thanks for rooting xz... just have some question...
on step 3, it says for android 6.0 only, so these are new, out of the box phone...
if im on latest firmware oreo .192, it means i can skip step 3? am i right?

if you are on .192 BUT never UNLOCKED you BL then step 3 is for you!
#rephrasing
users whose XZ is still on Locked bootloader, must save their DRMKEYS by downgrading to Android6 (if they are not already on Android 6) using dirtycow script

but if you are on latest build and boot is already unlocked (whether you saved your DRMKEYS or not before unlocking the BL) then YES you can skip step 3

thanks, just want to clarify some things about DRMkeys and TA back up...

1. is DRM keys also the TA Back Up? if they are not the same and completely different things, what is the difference of the two?
why do i need to back up DRM keys and why do i need to backup TA?

2. I found DRM-Fix on the .192 mega folder, if i dont do step 3, is this DRM-Fix enough to restore DRMkeys

3. im currently on .192 and bootloader still locked, what is your suggestion on what should i do first... etc etc... to gain root at the end, can you give me a brief (not detailed) chronology on what should i do? such as downgrade to 6, backup ta, etc etc...

sorry for being a noob... but thanks for your hardwork creating this thread... have a nice day....

 

[Linshart]

anyone found a working standalone night light/mode (no rom with it, just a flashable zip to enable night light/mode) for the .192 FW? I found one, but it´s not working

1. DRM Keys are in the TA partition, when you Run UNIVERSAL TA BACKUP v2 script ( AKA DirtyCow Script ) on MM kernel (Android 6), it EXTRACT full image of TA (trim area partition) and dump TA.F833x.xxx.xxx.xxx.datestamp.timestamp.img in the same folder on your desktop. if you run the Dcow script again again, it will extract the same file with various time stamps. The concept is that when you paid for xz, these motherboard keys are your too, and sony offers Legal way to unlock BL hence wiping it out made no sense but this is how SONY wants us to deal with unlocking bootloader! .

2. at this point since July2016 we have clear visiblity on how lack of TA.img may NOT affect the XZ / XZs / Xc / z5 / z5p /z4 / Xzs & Xz compact. so YES even if you dont EXTRACT TA.img, technically it has nothing to do with obtaining ROOT access and MODDED kernel having fake drm patch WORKS 100% fine!. the TA.img is ONLY required if you wana RELOCK your BOOTLOADER. otherwise as xz is almost end of days in development and after dec2018 there WONT be any builds because SONY will honor develompent only for XZp onwards devices. So you can SKIP no3, however I strongly recommend you to EXTRACT you TA.img file

3. ------->

1. downgrade to android 6
2. boot and enable usb debugging
3. extract universal TA backupV2.zip on desktop and run the .BAT file (After Connecting XZ to PC (usb-C cable) ) and let the script find that LOOP HOLE in ANdroid 6 to EXTACT the TA.img for you! , you can run the script multiple times ( i ran it THrice ) to have mulitple TA.img copies
4. upgrade to LATEST build again.
5. Request your UNLOCK CODE From SONY
6. once you have the CODE, connect your device in Fastboot mode and from FLASHTOOL, click BLU button and enter that code, you device will jerk, reboot, ANDROID BOT will Appear, WIPING ALL THE DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE, TA PARTITIONS, and device will reboot again to Android 8. on welcome screen
7. put modded kernel, drmFix.zip & magisk17.1 in sdcard & switchoff device
8. flash TWRP from ADB commandline by connecting xz in fastboot mode
9. boot in to twrp, (powerbutton and volume down 20seconds and hold until u see twrp) and goto install, click install image, point to KERNEL.img, click on it, twrp will ask where to flash? select PARTITION BOOT ( be very careful, kernel), once twrp flash the kernel in BOOT, then select zip file DRMFIX.zip, and finally Magsik17.x or Magisk16.7.zip one by one FLASH THEM,,,,, wipe cache and REBOOT, FIRST reboot may goto BOOTLOOP and finally your XZ will wakeup ROOTED, check app MAGISK MANAGER in app drawer, if you can find it, GOOD, if not then install MAGISK MANAGIER 6.0.1.apk (google it)
DONE

i enjoyed guiding you so
plz don't be sorry

YasuHamed, please excuse my noobishness, but what do you mean with OT? OffTopic or OriginalThread?

brother YasuHamed,

When you download grade to v6.0 mm do you install the kernel as well then unlock the ta or is it not needed.

thanks for the detailed information that drm fix is for getting all ta partition keys which are lost during unlocking or for having two sim cards and sd card working together.

can we run two sim cards with sdcard together?

thanks waiting for ur reply

1. U can only flash kernel on UB, so there is no way u can flash modded kernel on MM, ANDROID 6.0 WHile you are trying to extra t drmkeys, so the answer is NO
If you boot is already unlocked then you dont need to do the downgrading excersize
2. Even if you peal, sim card and sdcard with fine blade to fit in one tray, u still need to flash mod in twrp to activate sim2 and sdcard simultainiously. But last i heard such mod was failing to register sim to network, u need to search on xda
