Hi,
I had the S3 and switched to the Z2 last month. So I am new to the bootloader thing.
Is it right that I can relock the BL by restoring the TA partition for warranty for example?
Or can Sony see that I've unlocked it?
just be sure to backup your TA, and you can go back to your original undetectable state
.....
Hi thx for your reply
So when I restore the TA the BL becomes locked again? Or is it possible without locking it?
And do I need a new backup when I update from .402 to .314 ?

Why do you need unlock at all? Exist root methods without unlocking...
When I want to install a custom kernel for example.
Restoring the Trim Area locks the bootloader.

Does locking the BL wipes data the same as unlocking it?
Yeah m8, re-locking your bootloader will wipe your phone so, as always do a backup first:good:
I want to unlock the bootloader of my Z2 but I'm scared about relocking it with TA Backup. Has anyone tried it? If so, how did you do it?

what? i dont exactly understand, here is some info to clear up some doubts or potentialy answer your question. ;D
if you had a backup of your TA restoring it will relock your bootloader
relocking your bootloader doesnt bring the contents of your TA partition
and for me relocking i used flashtool as i do not have a backup of my TA partition
relocking or unlocking your bootloader wipes your device data so backup your internal storage before doing

Hey, i got Z2 1 week ago, and i want to unlock my bootloader so i can root and install recovery. Coming from other android phones i know the bennefits of rooting and installing a custom recovery, but what happens if i unlock my bootloader?
My bootloader is unlockable but what do i loose besides the warranty? I read in 1 thread that i can loose the quality of the camera. is that true?

You know you don't need to unlock your bootloader to root and install Cwm right? Also it is always advised to root, backup ta partition and then unlock bootloader. If you do that, you can restore your TA partition at a later date and recovery your drm keys.
hello devs and members
i want to unlock bootloader of my d6503
how to do that
should i need to backup something?
before unlock bootloader
and bootloader unlocking is safe and to install roms like cm
Just follow original Sony guide. It may be a bit confusing for the first time but everything is described there.
Also before unlocking bootloader you may want to backup your TA partition. Just Google how to do it.
And yes, if you unlock your bootloader then you can install every rom.
I think there are guides on how to do what you want...
But make sure to backup EVERYTHING BEFORE you start the unlocking process.
Thank you sir for information
Unlocking bootloader is safe?
Unlocking your bootloader is perfectly safe, just make sure to backup everything since your phone(not your SD card though) will get wiped
thank you sir I backup my ta partition then I unlock bootloader. and now I'm using resremix latest version
Any way of unlocking the bootloader when the service menu says it can't be unlocked?
Can anyone tell us if reflashing the stock rom over a custom rom will reinstate the LOCKED BOOTLOADER and the DRM KEYS!
Your help is always appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Will not reinstall them. After unlocking of bootloader DRM keys are gone forever. The only way to keep DRM keys is before unlocking of bootloader to make backup of TA partition.

Every thread i have been on, require us to root the device first!
So does that mean we cant backup TA Partition for DRM KEYS? As for root bootloader should be unlocked for this device.
With Lollipop phone can be rooted without unlocking of boot loader. Then you can make backup of TA partition. After backup phone can be upgraded to Marshmallow, then bootloader can be unlocked and phone rooted. In fact my phone also is rooted, I don't need DRM keys and don't make backup of TA partition. Why you need backup of DRM keys?

Thanks for such a fast response.
The reason is because i really want to root my device. But people over net sometimes complain for issues at camera(quality reduction and non functionality) after unlocking bootloader. I dont even know if these are really related. I just wanted to be ready if anything happens.
Please tell having a TA BACKUP for DRM, is that necessary or not. And TA BACKUP from my lollipop will work at my marshmallow as well ryt!
My phone is rooted and don't find any quality problem with camera or something else .
