So you didn't see any difference on photos or videos without the bravia engine 2 ?
I haven't already unlock my bootloader because I was thinking that It will make a big difference!!

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

Unlocking the bootloader? DRM keys?

Hello guys,
I want to know a little more about unlocking my bootloader.
In thi guide stands that it will wipe my DRM keys forever and I can't use some sony apps anymore and bravia engine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
However, on the official sony site, they don't speak about the los of DRM keys.
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Who tell the truth? And what should i do?
Edited.
The partition with the DRM keys on it can be backed up in order to restore them when relocking the bootloader.
See - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234627
Read the thread carefully though, as the method carries a possibility of hard bricking your device if the wrong steps are taken.

My Bad, I wasn't aware of that. So please read carefully, what @kingvortex mentioned above.
Ah thanks guys. Ill take a look
Backing up TA partition is still a bit in testing stage, i personally wouldn't unlock your bl yet intill you feel you are happy with what you are doing
With a locked BL it is harder to hard brick, worst is soft brick or bootloop which both with a bit of help can always be brought back to life

Then you're the only person in existence with an unlocked bootloader that also has BE2 working.
The fact is that if you have an unlocked bootloader, BE2 and several other features cannot be working. Ever.

thats not true, if you read some of the post Doomlord post, he's not sure if it would take it away, he claims some people having the same result as me, most people cannot tell the difference, a photographer attention to detail can surely tell the contrast difference.
Again this is on 6602 not 6603 not sure if there is any difference.

Listen mate, I'm not going to argue about this with you. BE2 does not work if your DRM keys are gone, which they are if you unlocked your bootloader.

Clearly the contrast are different. pay attention to the mountain scene.
Not watching that. If you didn't backup your TA partition, you have lost BE2 for good.
Believe what you want, just don't give the wrong information to others, mmmkay?
This is the last post I will make on the matter as you obviously won't listen. (Ok, I lied )

The difference between 6602 and 6603 is the LTE radio. Nothing to do with the bootloader or DRM.
Just look in the service menu and see if your DRM keys are intact or not. I guarantee you that they are not.

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...

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?

I am so sorry. There are no methods at all to get Bravia Engine back into your phone. TA Backup is important for this feature alone.
Strong warning btw! Do not ever attempt to restore other person's TA backup. I am sure you would still accept a phone without BE rather than a phone that can be thrown away.
:\ okay but this sounds very illogical. Bravia engine is hardware so i am still having it.and i cant use it? bs

Bravia Engine is not a hardware (?). I don't really know where BE resides in the phone. BE won't work without DRM keys. Your DRM keys are lost during unlocking the bootloader.
