I tried backing up TA and restoring it. Nope, DRM keys are gone forever after bootloader unlock.

With BL still unlocked? What does your service test > security look like? I've backed up prior to unlocking and then restored after unlocking. Should I relock my bootloader as well?

If you successfully restore the TA Partition the bootloader should be locked automatically!

How did you do that?
Flashtool didn't recognizes the backup format .zip or the unzipped .img ?!
Or is it possible to restore this .zip with CWM ?

ok i've a few querstions?
1. Are you rooted? ( Perhaps yes? )
2. Have ever installed custom ROM or on stock ROM?
CMW or clock work mod recovery is a tool which enables you to install roms and apps and much more at the boot time..
if you haven't perform backup and installed cmw then only thing left would be to flash cmw and reset factory.. or you can flash official stock ics firmware ( download here ) via flash tool.... you didn't understand fully, right? yeah its common among newbies... reply me and i'll tell you what to do next,,,
now i understand...
ok, i'll try to flash

Just search for the ftf of your land on google and flash it with flashtool.
Or try restoring origianl software using pc comapnion or sony ericsson update service...#
BTW: Did you unlock bootloader? Cause then your warranty is void, and to flash firmware using flashtool bootloader unlock isn't necessary!

You will lose DRM keys which I believe is required for trackid. Bravia engine... Nope

Lost my Bravia, TrackID, and download track info on JB. Seems like it's permanent, too, but I haven't restored pre-unlocked TA and relocked bl yet. Some say that works.

You will lose bravia engine but track id can work.Just re-download it from play store and it would work.I have working track id and download music info in walkman(latest walkman).
No,you will not lose them permanently.Check this thread.I didn't tried it but i am sure it will work.

Its not permenent, Dont Worry.
I got my DRM keys back with working BE and Track id.
You can get your DRM keys back by Flashing Relock for your device by Including TA partition during flash.

Yes I'd surely help you out.
I've followed the steps from here ---> [Backup Your TA Partition Before You Unlock Your Bootloader]
The above steps apply if you have not unlocked your bootloader.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
If you have unlocked it,
Follow the steps below.
What you Need?
Flashtool
Stock ROM for Your Phone Model Download Stock ROMS from Here ---> Stock Xperia U XDA
Relock File for your phone
How to proceed :
Using flashtool
First flash only the STOCK ROM Using Flashmode
(Exclude TA Partition In The Right Hand Side Options In Flashmode)
After A Complete Flash
Reboot The Phone Let it Settle Down A Bit
Now Again Using Using Flashtool
Flash The Relock File For Your Phone, Relock File ----> [HERE]
(This Time Include TA partition)
Flash!
Reboot
Your Phone Will Be As Good As New
I hope this information helps.
Do reply with your progress.

[Q] Root 14.2.A.1.136 w/ locked bootloader.

Hello, I have used the Z Ultra for about 4 months now. But recently, I somehow managed to shatter the display. As the phone was under accidental cover, I gave it to the service center people and got a new piece in return, which was already updated to 14.2.A.1.136.
Now, I was using the GPE ROM before, and would like to go back to it. But firstly, I would have to back up the TA Partition and unlock. But I checked the threads and all TA Backup methods need root. And I didn't find the method to root locked device on .136 anywhere on this thread. And in no way am I going to unlock before backing TA.
So can anybody please throw some light on my situation. Apologies if such a question has already been asked, I couldn't find any.
Help appreciated.

Thank you for the article!
Unfortunately, the OP's steps are a little complicated.
Would you mind to elucidate it a little for me?
:fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I got the rest of it. Just what does this mean?
Get a rooted .290 install then continue from below "Upgrading from .290 already rooted Locked BL"
To get root on .290 follow below or [NUT]'s/jackie's stock .290 for locked BL

Someone should re-write that mess
If you want to run a custom ROM (GPe etc) then you have to unlock the BL after rooting and backing the TA up. So:
Downgrade to .532 using [NUT]'s FTF - see my downgrade thread
Root using Bin4ry's root tool - see LordManhatton's thread for all thees next steps
Back up TA
Unlock BL
Flash latest firmware
Flash dual recovery (I use jackie's one)
Flassh ROM as needed or SuperSu is staying on Stock

We have a good thread (although a little cumbersome) that is stickied. I even think it points to this thread, well it points to the .290 version but it is the same method?

[Q] How to upgrade to 5.1 from stock rooted 5.0.2

Hi my friends.
I follow this tutorial ([Stock][Lollipop 5.0.2][Root & Recovery][LB] D6502/6503 23.1.A.1.28 | Complete Guide) months ago to install Android 5.0.2 on my Xperia Z2.
Its ok.. everything is working great.
Now I want upgrade to 5.1... but when I download some ROMs (first was crdroid-5.1.1-20150703-sirius) and flash it, my Z2 brick (red light).
What am I doing wrong?
Unlocked bootloader?

This tutorial is for LB (Locked Bootloader). To flash AOSP based ROMs e.g. CRDroid you must unlock bootloader because of custom kernel, which Bootloader doesn't permit to boot.

You're right.
My bootloader is locked =/ I check the "marlin key" and it's active.. some users say when is active = bootloader locked, and error = unlocked.
Anyway, thanks so much for you time!
No problem bro
Error occurs because of lack of drm keys. If u want to unlock bootloader remember to backup Drm keys

Unlocking bootloader wipes all internal memory and loses DRM Keys, so before unlocking backup them. .
How to backup DRM Keys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598 - remember to upload this backup to online server(s) to be sure you will not lose this keys because these keys are assigned only to your phone, so if you try using another DRM Keys you'll brick your phone.
Then you can unlock bootloader and in case of any problems with Z2 flash stock rom and restore DRM Keys - bootloader will automatically lock, and warranty will apply

Of course you can, root access just allow you to install mod or edit system files. There are no conflict between unlocked bootloader and root access

You need the unlock code from Sony.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
Use the blu (bootloader unlock) function from flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Edit....it wipes everything so back up what you want to save, and a nandroid made before unlocking will relock. Use an app like titanium backup or mybackup pro.
