Create Flashtool version 0.9.9.0
Not tested (I have no SXV) I had already made the files for relock bootloader SXP, SXU, SX Ion, and they worked.

So the rumors ive heard before was false? There are some people in xda told me that unlocking the bootloader will lose be2 and drm keys? I dont know which thread.. I cant remember it anymore. But im sure its was on xda's forum.

Seems that i'm not lucky today.
I tried to relock my bootloader, process goes ok but now my phone is bricked.
i hope to find a solution but everything i tried until now failed: SUS, PC companion, flashing a new one, ...
Edit: After several attempts, i successfuly flashed a stock ROM and the phone is working again... :good:
I bet you had a custom kernel installed...

Yes, you're right.
can anyone confirm that the Bravia Engine stops working after an unlock, and if it does, does this method makes it work again?

hi,
is there anyway to restore Bravia Engine in Sony V ? after u unlock and root your phone ?
Hello. Some of you may know me as -SlenderMan- however i've given that account back to my brother since he came back from the army.
Now let's talk about bootloader. I have a bootloader status of 'Yes' meaning I can unlock it. However I decided to lock it back and do a full reset of my phone. Now the status says 'No' and i'm unable to unlock my bootloader again. Please help me. Thanks

I'm going to try flash an ftf. See if that works. I think PC Companion might have locked mine up.
Okay I think flashing an ftf fixed it. Solved.

Obviously reading/searching forums is not your strong suit. You should always read all the details/warnings surrounding unlocking your phone, before doing so, which is why my phone is locked and I am only using root and CWM
Use Screen Adjuster lol

KA04 Xperia Z revolution ROM has Bravia Engine 2 working on video playback without having to relock bootloader. Probably other ROMs too, but I haven't looked into it.
You really aren't missing much though, it just over-saturates everything. I think it's much worse.

Are you sure, this is not with locked boot loader? because if bravia is gone it's gone. I would imagine it is a emulation of BE2
I also do not see in the change log bravia engine even mentioned, I am sure it would if they have this

Yes, unlocking a bootloader causes the BE2 not to work. However, there is a method to keep it. Just search xda for backing up .TA partition

you will lose your DRM keys, but BE2 will work with videos but not with pictures. This BE2 will work on stock based ROM's only. I flashed CM10.1 and result was have to give up BE under CM10.1, tried modding but no use. I compared with the screenshots taken.
other guys says that we will lose TrackID too but i never use that service so i cant comment on that.

Did you connected your device with QPST ??? Do you have any idea of correcting the partitions or Hex files using QPST and making the phone to get into flash or fastboot mode, i am asking this because i bricked my LT25i and struck with QHSUSB_DLOAD mode...

Bravia Engine 2 is working in my Xperia V lt25i Unlocked BL with Stamina Mode Enabled.
for me its a miracle now as for the strong reviews that BE2 will be lost Forever.
check out the pics for proof.
Note:I Only checked it Working in Videos.Yet i Didnt Noticed the BE2 working in Pictures(or It is always Enabled for pictures)
WORKED FOR ME.
check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269
The Way I Flashed to get BE2 working.
install the app from market
open the app and choose BE2
Enable(ON) it and reboot the device.
(u will get a bravia.zip in ur sd\PimpMyRom\....zip)
open the app again and choose BE2 and flash it. thats all.
i flashed the zip manually through CWM.
after reboot, my device went HELL SLOW than worked as usually...

If you don't see any difference in the pictures, then unfortunately this is a placebo effect. I have BE1 on my Xperia T with unlocked BL and BE1 is working only with the videos. And I didn't flash anything at all - stock rom without any mods and .zips flashed
But I'm curious about another thing - where did you get working Stamina Mode?
My phone is T. Xperia T.

You need to relock first. Then flash stock. So how do we relock bootloader for TX?

i had tried the way you said many time but it didn't work. i don't have TX, i don't know how
if you unlock your bootloader , your DRM key and TA partition will be lost ... then you can't use some sony features such as BE or even track ID ... unfortunately , by relocking bootloader back , it will not bring back your TA partition and also DRM key .. in the other hand , once we unlocked bootloader , we can't bring back some Sony features.
Even there's some effort to bring back the BE to our unlocked bootloader sony ,, but it still no results.....
correct me if i'm wrong
Take it from the boss

Clearly says Loss of DRM keys is permanent which means there is no way to restored Bravia Engine
