So for the ones of us who did not backup TA partition we lost our drm keys which takes away the x reality engine bravia engine etc enhancement you really notice this when you play videos on netfix etc. Now what i want to know is there anyway in the world we can get our drm keys back i mean anything is possible nothing is impossible?
Update i just used some recovery tools and found the backup i did a while ago which got deleted from my recyle bin i have now managed to recover it phew when i go back to stock i can now have my drm keys back.
You should probably upload it to a couple of cloud services. Dropbox and Drive maybe?

You could always look at the mod that hamdogg posted in the mod section for restoring the barvia2 engine

My first Ultra i backed up the TA.
My second Ultra i didn't. Just didn't really care. x-reality is a crock. I do however like the bravia2 engine that I've adapted. Like blue said.
It still works on my second Ultra. So there's that.

well... x-reality is just a series of colour filters or settings. You could get the same effect by doing it manually.
and if sony and their GPe ROM have it, then I'm sure its legit. But at the time it was only for a pure sony ROM

Yes, the GPe has X-Reality and Sony's sound enhancements. The issue with X-Reality on it is that it's simply impossible for us to use it. With us, I mean the ones who doesn't have an original GPe Ultra, but have flashed the GPe ROM. We need an unlocked bootloader to flash the ROM, and you may know that an unlocked bootloader means no TA partition with the DRM keys, meaning no functioning X-Reality.

x-reality replaces the bravia engine I believe, so in a roundabout way yes
does that mean that I've lost DRM for both x-Reality and Bravia when unlocking bootloader .. coz I didn't backup DRM using BackupTA ??

nopes, DRM is on the kernel, when you unlock your bootloaded DRM keys will be erase. You can't never ever get it back !! :cyclops:, but DRM keys are not necessary for me actually

I think album art downloading in Walkman is the only thing that breaks.
Seems that the location button on the messaging menu also doesn't work.
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
But what if we knew where they were, so somebody can extract those before unlocking the BL...? And then we can restore them?
If they're on the kernel, is there no way to remake the stock kernel with DRM keys??
Track id also does not work
Who bothers we can download it from Google play again
If drm keys are on kernel.. Can a copy of stock kernel be made to preserve those drm keys?
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2
Not on kernel I think...
Because update also contains a new kernel...
One more thing, Search option in geotag of album app is also not working...

But an official Sony update wouldn't delete official Sony data! So what if DRM keys are in BOTH kernels?
Also, how can we make a copy of the kernel? I'd do it, if I only knew how...

He meant with unlocked bootloader. Still, strange, works for me even unlocked.

TrackID works even with unlocked BL, what is not working since drm keys are gone it's the "download music info" that is another thing!
Its already gone so no use!

Firts, i know that BE won't work on unlocked bootloader because of DRM key lost. And BE is the only thing i miss from locked bootloader.
Today i have rollback my Xperia P to Gingerbread (6.0.B.3.184) and yes, BE worked!
I know there are some developers try to port the new BE2 to Xperia P, but i wonder if we can port the "old" BE from GB to ICS/JB to make it work on unlocked bootloader?
Want Bravia engine back

No i think it won't work, you can't get ur DRM key back, in GB, i think sony didn't add check DRM key code to bravia engine. But in ICS they add check drm code or something like that so BE won't work anymore. In JellyBean it work again but only in video.

Is it worth it to unlock your bootloader because you lose some things like apps and bravia engine....
Do you have any problems on your device with unlocked bootloader?
Is it possible to have bravia engine on CyanogenMod?

The only reason to unlock the bootloader is to run custom roms, we don't even need it unlocked for recovery now.
You can also restore the TA partition to regain xreality on stock roms.

You will soft brick the phone. ie it won't boot with the custom boot.I'm with a locked BL
Restoreing the TA will relock the bootloader.

I have unlocked my BL and to be honest I can't tell any difference with X-reality deactivated. But I mostly use QuickPic to view photos and MX Player for videos. I do not regret unlocking.
There is a difference but sadly is not always for the best from my previous experience.
Some things look very nice, almost HD like but very bad video quality for example just seems to look even worst lol

I wouldn't worry much about it. You'll not be able to buy overpriced music & video from Sony, and you'll loose the artifical Bravia colour "enhancement"
I wiped my TA partition 9 months ago and I haven't missed it at all.

Hi guys
my first love for C6802 until it start to show age then decided to repurchase Z ultra C6806. Now that I've shattered the digitizer, I repurchased another C6806.
I just love this phone size.
Moving forward, this one was bought pre-owned and came pre-installed with 5.1.1 unrooted.
How do i get 5.1.1. rooted the easiest way possible?
Depends if the bootloader is unlocked, and if you want to back up the TA partition.
bootloader:locked and I want it remain locked. 1st ultra i unlocked, i didnt backup TA partition and therefore my camera went ****ty and I lost bravia features

Alrighty. Btw, X-Reality works without the DRM keys. This was changed by Sony on KitKat, but yeah, the camera is a different story. There are a couple of guides in this section (general section), so you should probably go ahead and read them :good:

A solution for the bad camera? Doesn't exist. Unlocking the bootloader will remove some DRM-keys (in the TA partition) that have some saying in the camera quality, but you won't notice much difference, so the real solution is to buy a different device with a better camera
