Hi,

So I've tried every tutorial that has been published out there in regards to restoring the DRM functions on my Xperia Z3+ (Single Sim version) but to no avail.

I tried the method posted by najoor https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z4/general/guide-safe-bootloader-unlock-restore-t3386915 followed every step (Managed to back up my DRM keys, unlocked bootloader successfully). I then flashed a stock Marshmallow rom that was posted on the thread by wolfaas12345 https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z4/general/nougat-firmware-z3-e6553-6533-t3545481 (I flashed the 32.1.A.1.185 one that's posted there).

Then I followed the instructions to emulate the DRM keys as posted in the najoor thread (2- How to emulate DRM keys and/or root and/or add recovery after unlocking the bootloader.). It looks like everything seems to be working (I'm able to go to Recovery etc). But then when I go check to see my DRM functions, they aren't restored. (Camera is still emitting lots of noise, x-reality isn't added back). I double check it by going into Service Mode by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* then into Service Tests -> Security and still see the errors there.

I gave up using this method eventually, then found out another thread posted by jimRnor https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672 that has a drmrestore zip file for xperia z3+. I flash it using TWRP recovery and it looked like it was flashed successfully, yet when I go check whether the DRM functions are restored, they aren't.

I'm at a loss here now. I don't know where am I going wrong or what step am I doing wrong. I would greatly appreciate any help here if someone can guide me to the correct steps to restoring my DRM functions on my phone.

Thanks!
