Is there anyway that we can make bravia work for unlocked bootloader? they guys on Sony Xperia S managed to do it..
---
If there is anyway to lock the bootloader again and gain acces to BE.
Sadly at this time is NO.

If you are in JB, there is no way to relock the bootloader but Bravia will definitely work with "Movies" even with unlocked bootloader.
I'm not too sure about "Album" because I havent seen a clear difference (Can anyone confirm this btw?).
If you are in ICS however, neither Bravia nor music info download from Gracenote will work until you relock the bootloader. And yes it is possible. Search the threads.
I've seen that Download Music works on JELLY BEAN. but in album pur example it doesnt work not a little difference!
I've searched but only found the xperia S version..but I can t do it because I need things for xperia T

Hi. I tried to root my Xperia Z and after that Mobile Bravia Engine 2 stopped to work. Is it any way to reset the app so it can work propertly again? At this time when I turned it On or Off nothing changing. I tried it again with locked and unlocked bootloader but was the same! I tried even both stock roms, 10.1.A.350 and 10.1.A.434. What can I do, anybody knows?
Once you unlocked the bootloader,BE2 is forever lost(unless someone is able to port it somehow)
It's weird because I think I saw a port of the bravia engine in the lg optimus 4x forum. So maybe it's not that difficult to port it back.

Yes this is correct.
As long as your bootloader is locked,BE2 will remain

2.. If BE2 that necessary ?
Thanks for look it and offer help ..

1) As you said, "BE2 won't work forever". You can relock your Z, but even so it won't bring you BE2 back.
2) No, BE2 is not "that necessary". You can't even use BE2 in some Z more incredible ROMs.
Thanks for both of your answers guys..
So I CAN'T get my BE2 back..
Then .what I want to know is where the BE2 take effect?
`cause sb says that he feels like BE2 is working on the whole system UI..
Hi all
I just got my z1, I had a z before.
If I unlock the bootloader will the camera then suffer? On the z it became more grainy and the quality got really bad... If this is so then I won't unlock.
It is updated to 4.3...
When it came out I heard of the camera being broken when unblocked.. This is why I ask... Thanks in advance..
If you mind.. Please give some words about what you feel of the phone... Is it that good and such?

With the latest Firmware .290 or .136 the camera will working fine and at the moment nobody complain about quality after Unlock Bootloader. Also few stuff like X-Reality was fixed and will work even after Unlock it, but to do that you have to install the fix.
BTW, if you want just root your phone you do not need to Unlock Your Bootloader but if you do because you want install Custom Kernels then root first, Backup TA, if you do not do that you will cannot relock bootloader and you warranty will be voided, then unlock and update to what you like.

Better be safe.
I am planning to upgrade from my current Xperia X10i to the Xperia Z1.
I was curious about the rooting process and things though. When the phone is rooted,
it allows your to add your on software right (like Astro File Manager or APKs not from the market)?
What is the bootloader for? Is it needed? I heard some people tell me that if you root the Z1 you lose the little
Sony things like the Bravia Engine and the camera. Is that so?
Thanks for your help.

You do not need root for this, just like on the x10, please note that you do not have to unlock the bootloader to root (In most cases)

YES, its like saying do you need battery, without it the phone wont boot

You lose some functionality (When unlocking the bootloader, not when rooting) but camera works the same. Its all explained here
Also, I do suggest you do a lot of reading, from your questions it appears you are not an experienced user, so please read before doing anything to your new phone

No, you do NOT lose functionality just by rooting. Nothing at all.
You DO lose a bit of functionality by unlocking the bootloader. And some have reported that even though with an unlocked bootloader that while camera works, you lose the Bionz image processing. You also lose the Bravia engine.
As gregbradley said, you can root without unlocking the bootloader (usually). Rooting and bootloader unlocking are different things.

That was in reply to his questions about unlocking the boot, you do lose some things from unlocking the bootloader, not from rooting, I edited my post to make this clearer

I assumed as much bc I know that you're no noob on this device. But I was just clarifying bc the question you quoted was directly about root, not bl. My assumption was that he was confusing the two terms, not you

No worries, I know. So many people get the two confused as its treated as the same thing on other devices such as Samsung
Thanks for both of your answers.
I actually fully modded my X10i just by following directions and getting some guided help
from other great uses from this site. But that was ages ago and Sony's phones have changed a bit in their make up since the X10 days.
So I wanted to know exactly what was going on. I remember unlocking the bootloader for the X10 and losing the camera, but that was fixed (I long forgot how).
I wanted to know just what was going on with the newest generations of Xperias.
Thanks for your helps. It's much appreciated.

yup, relock the bootloader and try :good::highfive:
His bravia engine will only work if he restores his DRM keys.
on 4.4.2 it should work without though

Thats not true, BE works on unlocked bootloader too, on 4.4.2 & 4.4.4 stock ROMs. You don't need to relock it or restore DRM keys. Try this and see if theres any difference. Open one picture in Album app with BE turned off and take a screenshoot. Now turn on your BE and go to Album app, find the same image and take sceenshoot again. Now compare screenshots, you will see the difference.
