I just read a thread from DooMLord about unlock and relock bootloader. I just keep wonder that after i relock bootloader via this guild line: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159, will i get DRM back to device (be able to update via SEUS or PC Companion?
No way to get DRM back (for now)

Hello,
I have a used sk17i and the previous owner unlocked the bootloader.
Not sure what method was used to unlock it.
The problem I'm having is I want to restore the phone via SEUS, but when it asks to turn phone on holding down, SEUS does not see the phone in flash mode (flashtool does).
I presume I need to relock the bootloader for SEUS to start working again?
What are the steps to figure out what method was used to unlock it, and to relock it? (if it's the patched thing, how do I reverse it, if I need to flash the stock sk17i kernel (currently it's not a stock one), where do I get the boot.img?)
relock bootloader
I'm still find a way to get oem bootloader back..
seriously, no-one saved the original one ?
If you just want to restore to original SE's OS you can use Wotan Server for that. Its totally free, you just need to register at WotanServer.com which is also free. The Wotan Server client will download the firmware once you select the CDA. You can have any custom kernel os rom before using Wotan . You dont need to relock bootloader for this . I did this on my Xperia Mini . But if you want to relock bootloader for other reasons then the available method is for Xperia arc. This method is only if the bootloader is unlocked in normal method. If the bootloader was unlocked using setool,omnius,patch,etc. then this relocking method wont work, Which is risky . It worked on my Xperia Mini but I dont suggest it because it was posted for Xperia arc. And even though you relock bootloader you wont get the DRM rights back which means you cannot use apps like trackId, appextra,etc. All the best.
I have unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia U. But i have not backed up my TA. So what are the chances of me to get my bootloader relocked without bricking my phone? Any specific steps like in flash tool to exclude TA or something???

You will be able to relock your bootloader without issues
I have an Xperia Z2 with a locked bootloader. Will these methods for rooting and backing up data work with a locked bootloader?
Root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
DRM Backup tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
If not, you you please provide me with links to methods that work.
Thanks.
Bootloader is not unlockable.
The bootloader is not unlockable.
With a locked bootloader, you can still currently root and backup drm keys, but that's it. You cannot unlock your bootloader if it's locked. I have an unlock able bootloader but still keep mine locked anyways. I have root, and backed up drm keys, but that's as far as I go. If you're just looking for root access you're fine. You can flash stock based roms only.
Hi,
So I'm completely new to rooting Android-phones and I just read many threads about rooting and tried to inform myself as good as I can.
But I still don't know if everything will work so I need some kind of prove...
So that's what I "planned":
1. Downgrade to firmware .55 or .69 so I can root my Z2 with locked bootloader using the Community Rootkit
2. Backup the TA with TA Backup so I can relock the bootloader again and get my warranty back if needed
3. Unlock the bootloader and flash to the latest Lollipop firmware (prerooted)
4 (optional). Getting CyanogenMod instead of the Sony firmware
Some questions:
- Can I restore the TA backup on the latest firmware (unrooted/official/flashed with Sony's Emma flasher) even though I made it on .55 or .69?
- What features wont be usable anymore after unlocking my bootloader and using a rooted Sony firmware besides X-reality and the DRM keys? (Noise cancelling is somewhat important to me)
- Will I be able to use X-reality and all the other (somewhat unnecesarry) features again with relocking the bootloader via my TA backup?
- According to step 3: Do I need to upgrade to the latest official firmware in order to unlock the bootloader via Sony's website? Or can I unlock it with the rooted .55/.69 aswell?
Thanks in advance!
I've been trying to get drm funcions back and it requires me to relock my bootloader. Even in windows 7 flashtool won't relock it, even if it say that ir does.
Which commands do i have to use to do it thru ADB?
Admin please lock this thread. Seems like somebody can't use search option.
