Thanks for visiting the thread. Root bounties have been incredibly successful in creating traction from community members towards finding root methods in many brands of phones in the past.A root bounty is a sum of money that people pledge to donate to any person who can find a way to root a specific device and firmware. Currently our bounty differs a little because of the specific firmware format for Sony Xperia phones. When rooting the device the device's saved DRM keys are wiped. Amongst other issues this causes a loss of functionality to the device camera that renders it mostly useless. As such a lot of people are apprehensive in rooting the device until a DRM backup and restore method is achieved.Currently yes it can, however this method does not allow the DRM keys to be saved and restored. People who have currently rooted their Xperia XZ Premium phones will probably never have a way to restore the original DRM keys. For those of us who have opted not to root our XZP phones yet, there is still the option of waiting until we can back up the keys before they are wiped, and then restore them after the rooting process.You need to release a root method that allows the TA partition which contains sensitive information including the DRM keys, to be backed up (before) and restored (after) the root process. Thus preserving the original Camera functionality. The first person who creates such a method will receive the bounty. Either this, or you come up with an entirely different waySee below.__________________________________________________
