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

Yes, I'm sure but for the instructions and any disclaimers, search for correct thread. It's somewhere on Xperia Z forum I think.

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.

I have used the TA partition backup method and unlocked my bootloader successfully..
I have my bravia engine intact.
The method is safe,if done properly..

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.

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

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

I speaking based on experience. If you own a STE Xperia phone and flashed Xperia Go's FW, your screen is dead, permanently. There's no way to fix it, even when you flash your device's stock ROM. I'm not saying it will brick your Xperia Z, but I just trying to caution you. Though I quietly confident nothing will happen.

I have an Xperia SP currently running 4.1.2 rooted, bootloader locked.
My aim is to upgrade to 4.3.3 and root, for which i will have to unlock the bootloader. To do so I need a TA partition backup , for which again, root is required.
So, my question is that is it okay if I take a TA Backup now [in 4.1.2] and then upgrade OTA and unlock bootloader, root and then restore the 4.1.2 TA backup onto 4.3.3 in order to restore DRM keys and Relock the bootloader?
Has anyone done this?
is it safe?

Yes, TA partition is not firmware related you can restore it in any stock firmware (don't try to restore your TA on a custom rom) test your back up first and make a many copy
