You don't need OTA update....you have XDA forum, where you get all updates before OTAs.
MT15i MIUI latest.
DRM keys will be removed after officially unlocking bootloader...losing DRM keys will lost warrenty too

Isn't it that we lose touch capacitive buttons forever and instead a bit of screen is occupied to provide nexus style buttons?? Isn't it??

Neo/Neo V doesn't have capacitive buttons like Xperia S. Please focus next time
And no it doesn't happen on Xperia S. Please tell where did you read that.

Yeah u can relock bootloader.. Once u unlock bootloader the DRM keys will lost & u cant put it back... If u only unlock using test point method then the DRM keys will be there..

Using unofficial unlock method keeps the DRM keys intact
So you can use TrackID,fb music Like,etc
Also,you can relock the bootloader :
Be it even if you unlocked via OFFICIAL or even UNOFFICIAL way
Hi good thing I saw this thread. Now I'm thinking if I'm going to unlock my bootloader, any link how can I put the DRM Keys back? Or is it impossible? Also, aside from I won't receive OTA Update, won't be able to use TrackID (what else if ever?), losing warranty, what else are the disadvantage? And when JB comes, is it still possible to update if my phone is rooted (Bootloader Unlocked/Kernel Different) and without DRM Keys? Or I'll be able to have it again?
AW: [Q] What is DRM keys
You can't get back your DRM keys once you unlocked officially your phone, they are lost! Unlock the boot loader via test point and you will keep your DRM.
Unlocking the boot loader doesn't result in losing warranty. Sony describes you might loose it and not you will lose it.

However to add to motorazrv3
You simply don't unlock bl and use stock Rom and kernel
You use custom Rom n kernels and thus,Sony takes no warranty about that incase things go topsyturvy while you run that kernel or Rom

Oh thanks. What's test point by the way? And lastly, is DRM Keys are big deal? If I don't buy any music at all so far. Other than that, what's the use of DRM Keys?

test point in unofficial method to unlock bootloader....
loosing DRM keys means u are loosing warranty... and by test point method bootloader is unlocked but DRM keys are preserved and left untouched
DRM keys is used to recognise music using track id and other fb likes,fb music likes and other sony's apps dont work...
rest everything works...
By the way DRM keys are not a big deal
If I Helped U Dont Forget To Press Thanks

Hello Today comparete my Xperia P with other Xperia P, with 6.1.1.B.1.75 and see a big difference with Bravia Engine. My phone have ulocked bootloader and the other locked, my Xperia dont work Bravia Engine, i try with Relock Bootloader and nothing, i flash Gingerbread in my phone and works good (relock bootloader) and update to ICS with Update Service and still with problem, Bravia Engine doesnt work. Any solution? It´s normal? I dont know what can i do, i'm sad HELP ME PLEASE
Bravia engine is corrupted on ICS with unlocked bootloader due to removing some DRM. I think, this never will be officialy repaired, because Xperia T has this issue too and it isn't repaired in Jelly Bean .
What about sola?

Unlocking bootloader :
Issues:
1) Sony will charge you for repairs if you brick your phone and take it to them as your warranty is void .( Work around available ref. relocking bootloader)
2) DRM (digital Rights Management) keys are lost forever , i.e. Track id and Download music info wont work ( Work around available :highfive: )
Benefits :
1)Total control over your phone !
2)Can install FXP Roms ! (super fast !)
3)Can change kernels to optimize battery
Hope this helps
Bravia Engine works in videos (stock Sony movie app, MX Player HW mode) but doesn't work in photos at all. At least on Sola, don't know how it is on P.

I was scared to unlock boot loader or to install a new rom but now that I did its another world man, I got cm 9.1 fxp216( hoping for cm10 ) and you can control your CPU how ever you want, everything super smooth and no lags (which I had on stock rom).
Worth it 100%

As far as i know,with an unlocked bootloader,you cannot use pcc or sus.
Apps like track id,download music info in walkman may not work.
Bravia engine will also not work because you would lose your drm keys forever.

I have seen xperia acro S, S and SL that backup of TA works when restoring DRM for those who unlock their bootloader officially. Will these work with xperia 2011?
I have seen a tool on xperia Z and it works there. But flashtool has this option
I don't get why you need the DRM so badly? Why don't you just unlock? I did and I've never had any problems
I'm not sure if it could work, but you could try it

If you want a hard brick try. If you succeed good for you and community too (2011 devices)
Drm does almost NOTHING except music likes and such stuff.
If you still want drm so badly unlock via testpoint. You wont lose Drm.

We don't know and so you'd be the first tester
If I were you I'd just unlock, if you wait and wait and wait there will be a time when the phone is too outdated or it's bricked and you have to buy a new phone and I guess you'll be thinking "why didn't I unlock and used one of the great roms, now it's too late"
