I'm not sure is DRM keys deleting after the unlock bootloader. How can I know it? Because my Xperia U TrackID, Download music info was working fine after unlock bootloader. Before the unlock bootloader, I backup my TA partition via flashtool 0.9.10.1. Its like 136KB size file. Then again I backup TA partition by using flashtool 0.9.11 after the unlock bootloader. Its the same size (136KB) as before backup.
So I want to know is there way to find DRM keys deleted or not?
Sorry for Grammar mistakes & bad English.
Thank you!

How about the bravia engine? does that still work? is there a colour change when you view images on stock album app?
Wait a minute..
Yes there is a way to see if they are present. You have to go to the phones services menu by dialing ether this *#*#7378423#*#* or this *#*#197328640#*#* then Service tests -> Security then there should be something like this if they are present:
Code:
MARLIN [[COLOR="Green"]Key OK[/COLOR]][Active]
WMLA[[COLOR="Green"]Key OK[/COLOR]][Not active]
Well, at least on my xGO thats the way to see it. Thanks to taboo5200 for letting me know that.

1) Give it a try. Should work on all xperia devices.
2) Yes you can. Since xperia go got official jb update and you don't have to unlock your bootloader to install jb, there is no problem. You can backup keys with both ics and jb
3) If you unlock your bootloader you will void your warranty in any case. Backup ta partition will not make you loose bravia engine when after unlocking your bootloader you want to relock it. Won't save your warranty this mod

Thanks for your reply you have cleared all my doubts but another question if i restore the ta partition and relock bootloader i have my warranty back correct?
It doesn't matter afaik restoring ta partition to get back your warranty (maybe I am wrong though). What really does matter is relocking the bootloader.

You can be right(I'm the noob XD) but i have read if you not backup the ta partition your warranty is void. So relocking the bootloader is insuficient, you have to relock bootloader and restore the ta partition .
The tool creator said:"Backup TA can backup and restore the TA partition of the device. When you create a backup before unlocking for the first time, then you will be able to restore to full factory state (including a locked bootloader). This means all DRM keys intact, Bravia Engine working in Album and last but not least your warranty when needed":good:

I already read this thread mate, that's because I told you that I could be wrong.
Ok then, there is no reason for not trusting the tool creator. Just root and use this tool. Save and put keys in a safe folder and enjoy

Once you unlock your bootloader without backing up ta, BOOM! Your DRM keys are gone FOREVER. There is a way to get bravia engine to work it is somewhere in our device general forum, go search for it. And DO NOT restore another device TA as it would result in HARD BRICK.

thank god i have a backup of my ta

Hi all,
I'm getting my new Xperia Z2 (SO-03F) from DoCoMo. It's great but I cannot bear it without root.
After I Googled a ton and read many posts on xda, I finally knew these things:
1. root requires unlock (currently)
2. unlock will lose DRM keys (unless backing up them)
3. backup DRM keys needs root
So I'm falling in an infinite loop. How to root my device WITHOUT lossing DRM Keys? Maybe an root exploit should be found for us to backup TA before unlocking?
I think we should make a HOWTO guide of all the procedures, for the newbies (like me
Thx all.

I leave this link which tells you how to do it, although it is in Spanish, you can I use a translator .sorry due the forum rules I can not post links.
1º-go to "htcmania" (spanish forum)>Sony Xperia Z1>ROMS y desarrollo Xperia Z1>/showthread.php?t=746342
Although this tutorial is for z1, z2 serves well for
I have read DRM function restoreration for UB thread and have some question . My z2 is unlock bootloader and lose Drm function like x-reality and Bionz if i follow these step
1. Relock bootloader using flashtool
2. Flash FW 17.1.A.2.69 ftf with TA partition with full wipe
3. Reboot
Is drm function will be restore? Because i didn't care about unlockbootloader and sony warranty I just want X-Reality,Vivid,and Bionz came back. and if this work can i flash 4.4.4 after.
e.g. Sorry for my bad english

This will only allow restore certain features (X-Reality, Noise cancelling etc) - It won't allow apps that require the DRM keys to be present to actually be used, so far this seems to be the Playstation/Remote Play apps.

The mod linked above doesn't relock the bootloader, it just restores some features.
If you want to relock your bootloader, you'll need to flash the original kernel. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52567280#post52567280
Search also returns quite a few threads with more info.

Nope, even after relocking the bootloader, the features you listed still require the original and unique DRM keys to function - the only real way to restore their functionality properly is either by the mod above or restoring the TA partition that held the DRM key info.

I have a Z2 bootloader unlocked.
I relocked by Flashtools and I don't know if x-reality backed and working. Honestly I don't know if x-reality is working now. I can't see any change between Off and X-reality of super-vivid.
just relocking can revert x-reality and other disabled stuff to factory default ?
No, you'll need to reflash a stock ftf with TA partition.

No, he needs to restore the TA backup made before unlocking the BL... reflash stock ftf wont bring his DRM keys back.
