Tested in (probably works in other Sony devices as well):
Xperia Z2 23.1.A.1.28 5.0.2
Rooted
Unlocked bootloader

If you have been greeted by these hateful messages when trying to connect to Miracast (EZcast)

"Could not turn on Screen mirroring. The output device is not ready or does not support HDCP."

"Could not start mirroring on the screen. Make sure the output device supports HDCP."

Probably you already have tried changing /system/etc/wfdconfig.xml:
Code: 
...
<ContentProtection>
    <Valid>1</Valid>
...
to
Code: 
...
<ContentProtection>
    <Valid>0</Valid>
...

After that the mirroring probably worked but got greeted by

"The output device does not support HDCP. You can only mirror unprotected content of the following applications:
Xperia Home, Video, Music or Walkman, Settings"

and then just before the mirroring get disconnected

"
Your output device does not support HDCP. Cannot mirror. You still can mirror some apps and unprotected content to the device."

There is a very easy fix, in this file /system/build.prop just below
Code: 
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
add
Code: 
persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring=1

and then from ADB

Code: 
adb shell su setprop persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring 1

Restart your phone, it should work.

As @s107ken mentioned in #14, In case of boot loop, go to TWRP and then
Code: 
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

Cheers

Thank you so much, this worked great, I can now get my screen mirroring working again.

I had no idea that unlocking the boot loader would kill HDCP...

Thanks for the hard work.

Hi, after doing everything OP described my phone went on to bootloop after restart. I restored everything from TWRP backup and tried again, same thing happened after changing the build.prop and rebooting (now I didn't even change wfdconfig.xml, so the changed build.prop must be causing the bootloop, right?). Am I doing something wrong?

thanks a lot s107ken, that solved the bootloop problem, but still screen mirroring doesn't work properly and gives me HDCP error. I am on 5.1.1 btw... could that be the real issue here?

Fixed everything!

Can't believe it! That fixed everything!
Few things I want to note:
I did this on a Unlocked / Rooted Xperia Z4 LTE (v.260)
I followed all the steps listed in the original post and ended up in a bootloop.
Using the method @s107ken mentioned above ( adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop ) in TWRP fixed the bootloop.

Can confirm this is still working on the newer devices. Great to be able to cast to large screens again. Thanks @themightydeity and @s107ken

    it works perfectly in a Z5 Compact with bootloader unlock, i´m using this to doplicate screen between my phone and my Asus Laptop.

    - the file build.prop is system folder..........you need to be root to acces to this file.
    - when you write in terminal emulator:
    first type "su" and enter
    then type "setprop persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring 1" and enter
    type "exit" and enter
    the last, reboot your phone, it should work with no problem
