Unlock bootloader Z2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys if i unlok BL will i lose xreality?
Xperia Z1 C6902

Most likely you will, I did when I unlocked my bootloader but don't even miss it as all it does is over saturate the colours in photos & videos only on the screen, it doesn't affect any pictures or videos you take.
I never ever saw why some folk were obsessed with it to be honest.

I dont think we can conform this exactly
D6503-1 - XREALITY not working
D6503-2 XREALITY - working
D6503-3 XREALITY - working only on euro firmwares
All 3 devices have a unlocked bootloader
Conclusion- xreality will work only on the firmware that came on the device weather it be unlocked or not

Request: Z2 Camera Comparison LB vs ULB

I want to know if anyone can confirm a difference between photos taken with the unlocked bootloader vs a locked bootloader. On the Z1 there was a long debate about this but Sony seem to be playing fairer with the Z2 allowing more things to be saved when unlocking like X-Reality and some apps.
Is Bionz still there? Its too late for me to check as I unlocked before I thought about it.
Can someone please take a photo before unlocking and the same photo with settings after unlocking?
This is the Z1 debate http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722106

[Q] How to buy a "Unlocked allowed - YES" Z2?

Hello friends,
after i "killed" my beloved O+ i want to try a Xperia Z2 ... i had already a Z1 and loved it BUT i donĀ“t like the Sony UI! And it was "Unlocked Allowed - NO"
So, my problem is, i really would love to buy a new Z2, BUT, how can i find out, if its Unlockable? ... i mean, who is the bad "guy" who decides to lock the BL forever? .. is it Sony, or the Network Carriers?
Thanks in advanced friends!
Cheers
Markus
It's the carriers. Try to find one online. Where are you from?
Sony or Sonys 3rd party sellers are most likely to have unlockable bootloaders
I'm from austria!
So, if i buy one from a "open" mobilshop,it should have unlockable BL?
it should be. yes
Buy a brand free and simlock free one then you have it like i have ^^

Sony SCR-24

Does Sony SCR-24 case for xperia Z3 Works on Xperia Z2?
Thankyou
I dont think so. That will not fit for z2 since its for z3 dude. Why dont u get z2 case?
Aham.. Its just the stickon on the front of the case that sticks to the back of phone so I think it will fit....
What I want to know is that whether the smart window will work on our xperia z2 or not
I see, i think its possible since z2 also hv nfc. But im not 100% sure.
Anyone tested it?
Of course it wil NOT work. The cover-widget.apk is working OK on the Z1 as any other lockscreen widget, but it needs the basic modifications:
-root
-recovery
-deodex
-some kind of super user mod, be it a modified services.jar or via xposed
The problem with the Z2 is that Sony removed something that prevents the widget to be shown on the available widgets for the losckreen, even with all of the above mods it is not working. I already asked for a port but no one has replied to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/request-z3-style-cover-widget-z2-t3007705
It won't fit the Z3 because is a bit smaller and thinner than the Z2. I already checked.

thats exactly what i though but im afraid that xperia z won't get android 6.0
as of now no official Marshmallow for the Xperia Z
Does the xperia z have the issue with reduced camera quality if DRM keys are lost with bootloader unlock?
all Xperias from the Z-family have this "issue" when unlocking the bootloader. You have to make a backup of the partition where those DRM keys are located.

It propably wont get, but neither s3 willl get official marshmallow. As for custom roms it has snapdragon processor so you can be sure about custom roms.

Camera Quality after Unlock+Root?

Hi everybody
If i manage to unlock and root my p20 lite does this have any bad affects to the picture quality as it's the case with the Sony Z3 Compact and it's DRM Key's?
Regards Kuni
Hi!
I don't know what the quality would be, but after unlock and root - the camera quality is awful!!!

Hey, I unlocked and rooted my phone, and also flashed OpenKirin LineageOS Beta 5. The camera quality seems to unaffected, as long as you use the default camera app.
