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

No a Bravia2 issue as much as a reading issue

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

Oh right.. sorry buddy. Havent tested it myself. Im on JB and with unlocked bootloader, so my Bravia works fine.
my bootloader is unlocked and i was on PA !! now i'm back to stock after the update !! but i can't feel the bravia engin touch on the photos ?

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.

Hello guys
I got a (maybe stupid) question. After unlocking the bootloader you lose bionz?

YES ....sony disables it cause bionz need some drm-keys that are broke when you have an unlocked bootloader
thats the reason why our z1 hasnt a working camera on jb ^^

Hi everyone
I'm visitor of xda forum for 6 years, but this is first time that I decided to write or ask something.
I have problem with camera of my Xperia z3+. I can't record hd videos, because when I try to record my phone freeze, and also focus doesn't work when I take photos for near object. I have tried everything in settings, but not success. I have tried also to repair my phone with Xperia companion from PC, and surprisingly it works, but unfortunately only for some days (maybe one week). After that same story. Again doesn't work. Don't ask me to call or to send the phone to Sony company because it doesn't exist in my country. What do you suggest guys? To flash new rom? Lineage? Or other official stock roms, even though I have tried to flash official 7.1.1 US version.
Sorry for my English, and thank you.
did you unlock your bootloader?

did you backup your DRM keys? if not, they are lost forever, that's why your camera have problem focusing, x-reality stops working and so on. flashing new roms will not solve your problem.
you need to flash kernel with DRM fix.

haha welcome my thread btw :highfive:
Hello, what will happen when unlock bootloader? Anybody tried this on XZ2?
Most likely the same thing that happens on all Sony devices, loss of DRM license and some camera functionality. I won't be unlocking it.
I will be unlocking mine the first min I boot it up.
Android phone without root? Lol.

Let us know what happens to DRM keys. Hopefully it's not wiped but I seriously doubt that. Root is what is keeping me from changing my XZ.

Probably the same as the XZP; green pictures.
The real answer is nothing. Sony devices seem to drag on development... More than others in my experience. As tempting as it is, I won't so it until I can fake or backup the DRM keys.
I'm running out of reasons to root anyway.
Also, You will lose Ps4 remote play and you lose X-reality Engine
There will be a DRM patch as for all the previous Xperia devices...

I can agree with you, phone is not bloated, it is snapy, plenty of space so for me for now i go with good adblocker ?
And later after full root solved i will flash it ?
Sony is very good lately
