Yes you will have lost the DRM keys, but from 4.4 on we dont need them for xreality (bravia) to work.

Confirmed for Netflix. Warranty is the other consideration. I'd say it's worth doing the downgrade and backing up TA.

i think i didnt lose DRM and Xreality(Bravia) , because i downgrade to 4.3 and xreality works fine...
also before downgrade i successfully backed up TA on 4.4.2 rooted frimware.

What about OTA, will you get a notification when there is an update ?

As stated previously, on 4.4.2 unlocking bootloader doesn't affect xreality, but your ta will now be null so you have lost your drm keys.

You will probably get a notification but updates via OTA or pcc will fail with unlocked bootloader, you'll need to flash ftf's.

Updates don't need ta, only locked bootloader. Your ta will be null as you didn't back it up before unlocking.

Relocking bootloader for Sony XPERIA SP

Just flash this .ftf file via Flashtool. Your bootloader will be relocked and you'll be able to use PC Companion or Sony Update Service to update your phone.
Notes:
If you use custom kernel than before relocking bootloader flash the stock one. Or if you forgot to do it just flash stock kernel after relocking.
Your root access will persist after relocking if you had it before. But some apps will work improperly (RootExplorer v3.0 causes reboot when trying to mount /system as rw) and some apps work good (SolidExplorer, SD Maid...)

Did it by myself. Checked it twice before publishing here.

PS There is no TA backup. There is preset.ta which contains data for re-lock.

Well as far as I have read, TA partition differs device to device. And flashing someone else's TA partition can hardbrick your phone

I totally agree. But there is no any TA partition backup in this .ftf file. There are only loader.sin (which is unique to each phone and in this .ftf it was taken from stock fw .257 - the same for all customizations and all fw versions of C5302/03/06) and preset.ta (which contains data for re-lock and that is the same for all phones Sony).
I remind that I checked it twiсe: relocked bootloader and than unlocked it via fastboot and via flashtool.
By the way, it is more convenient to relock bootloader via Flashtool using "BLU" button.
Hi, someone try to do a backup TA with flashtool?

I don't quite understand this part. I thought rooting and unlocking bootloader are two mutually exclusive and that you can execute one independently of each other. My Xperia SP is rooted using DoomLord toolkit but I don;t think my bootloader is unlocked.

Z Ultra GPE Root update and Ta Back up

Now from what I understand there is no root method for this device just as yet now my question is how different is the Sony branded Z Ultra from the GPE version besides android version. I all's know that root is needed to back up the TA partition so is there a work around for your our device.

The GPe version doesn't have the same type of TA partition as the Xperia model AFAIK, but you still have to unlock the boot loader of the GPe to root it.

You can't backup TA. You root, you lose.
Or you can downgrade (the Xperia model if that's the one you have) to 532, root it, backup TA, update to 290 and lose root, unlock the bootloader and root it again. The difference this time is that you'll have the TA backup. It's a helluva way of doing it, but it's your only option right now.

Nope, you can't do that with the GPe. Root it and lose it. It's as simple as that (for now).
Thanks for the info but I don't think the recovery is stable for the GPE its still testing and I'm not looking for a brick right now can afford another device right now so I'll just wait

[Q] ROOT

Hello, I want to root my XPERIA Z2 but I have never done this before, so I have some questions.
1) If I flash the Recovery used to root, will the stock ROM be affected?
2) After root, will I continue receiving the official updates? If not, how can I update it manually?
3) Can I save the stock ROM to an image for future unroot? How?
4) What do I will lose with root?
To root your Z2 you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a kernel with recovery included of which within you can flash a root zip
Kernel and system are seperate so your rom wont be affected but they do depend on eachother
Root doesent affect anything at all and neither does unlocking your bootloader, you lose nothing at all
You can backup your rom in cwm and restore later, you can also unroot from within the root management app

Does rooting screw up DRM keys or whatever like it did on other sony devices in the past?
I am REALLY thinking about this as my next device, and if I can't root without screwing up the device, I'll be put off.

Think of it like this, your drm keys with Z2 are currently uselss, losing your drm keys breaks nothing, (ive tested this)
(in simple words = almost 0 drawbacks of unlocking your bootloader)
What you should be more worried about is your warrenty/garentee , it is voided when you unlock your bootloader

For now. Yes. Maybe near future some genius will find the way rooting w/o unlock the bootloader. Wait for it if you don't want lose your warrenty. But it's worth lose it and have fun. Up to you. Think Carefully.

Yes! To root your phone, first, you need to downgrade to rootable firmware which is jb 4.1.2, (there's so many rooting methods that works in that version) then after rooting you can backup ta partition. Search for the procedures and read carefully and follow the instructions, it's all here in xda forum

Hey mate. Z2 can't be downgraded to 4.1.2 as box open firmware is kitkat ...... Aren't you confusing it with Xperia Z or something like that? It is Z2 forum.... not for other. And 4.4 is still rootable no need to downgrade. It just requires you to unlock bootloader.
Sorry! You're right. I just check out. My mistake.

Bootloader unlock

Hey,
I know there are surely many threads about the bootloader but I never had a Sony so I want to now is: I don't lose any features if I unlock my bootloader right? I know I can backup the Trimm Area so I can get the DRM Keys back if I lose them. In a thread I saw that bootloader unlocking even does not erease the DRM Keys on a Z2, is this right? I just want to know if I lose features by unlocking the bootloader and if I keep the DRM Keys on a Z2.
Thanks

Unlocking your bootloader formats the TA partition where your drm keys are kept
You can backup your TA partition and unlock your bootloader
Restore your TA on a STOCK kernel to un-void your warrenty
Restoring your TA will relock your bootloader hence only restore on a stock kernel
You can install a stock kernel by using flashtool >www.flashtool.net< to flash a FTF> there is a thread at the top of the general section
So if I unlock my z2 bootloader I won't lose any feature like X-reality or break the camera Like Z1?
