Hi guys,
Do you guys notice a difference in the aspects of the phone after a bl unlock?
Heard that X reality/bionz does not work due to drm keys.
Thanks.

Unlock your bootlader will not compromise you phone and you will not see or hear any difference if not very small. But all what you miss can be fixed, look here.

Ok guys, help.
I'll get a new smartphone tomorrow and would like to know the honest opinion of you.
I'm in doubt between the following devices:
- Xperia V;
- Xperia T;
- HTC ONE X;
I know there are differences, but in general, including development of xda and quality hardware ..... What is the best choice?
I have no idea about the one x, but for dev definitely the Xperia t, my personal opinion is that the Xperia t looks better also then the other two.
About build quality, my Xperia t feels rock solids. Nice and premium feel when I hold it. Not plasticy like Samsung

You need to make sure you get an unlocked phone though, perhaps from carphone warehouse or phones 4u.
If you get a network locked one, more than likely you won't be able to unlock the bootloader.

Dont buy the Xperia T from a carrier as it will be 99.8% locked because the carrier asks sony to lock the bootloader permanently, If you get a device that can be unlocked then use sony's method
I am just curious really. When you unlock your bootloader you, as we all know, lose the DRM keys. Why can't we get them back? What's the actual mechanism that prevents you from say taking them from someone else's Z and copying them over or something?
Are they unique to the indictable device?
I have a permanently locked bootloader so can't really try anything. Just interested to know about it.

Ride it like you downhill it.
Sony creates these keys with a yet to be cracked algorithm.
And yes they are device specific, most likely bound to your IMEI.
And this is checked in the earliest stage of booting.

Exactly the answer I was looking to get. Thanks for that.
So we have to wait until some of the genius devs can create a work around. Hopefully soon lol.

Hey guys I just ordered my Sony Xperia Z office swap and got a sweet deal the phone is already rooted but my question is can you unlock the bootloader the gentleman who sold me the phone said that you cannot unlock the bootloader but I've seen some things on some threads about being able to do so so I was just wondering I'm new to this community and I would love to be able to put custom roms on my phone and such also I would like to know how the waterproof testing is because we're going to a water park me and my family I want to be able to take the phone in the water

It's for t mobile. And also do you know if they make water proof cases for the z?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Waterproof cases? What does that even mean? The phone itself is waterproof, if water breaches the case then nothing will happen to the phone.
If i keep do UB/LB..its no effect for my phone or can destroy my phone system?

Do you mean if unlocking and relocking your bootloader will eventually break your phone? If you do mean that the answer is no. If you don't mean that, try to write your question in whatever your native language is and let Google translate it, maybe that makes more sense.

The answer is no. But you will increase your chances of bricking/destroying your phone by making a mistake.
I don't recommend you keep doing this.
I recommend relocking only when you want to send to warranty or sell phone. UB only loses BIONZ not a big deal unless you have OCD.

Lol don't worry.
BIONZ is an image processor that make photos taken by the camera vibrant and colours realistic
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) - with this I was speaking figuratively it has nothing to do with android. OCD causes severe anxiety in those affected. OCD involves both*obsession and compulsions.
In other word SUPER perfectionists.

Unlocking the bootloader does not deactivate bionz...but the quality of it seems to be degraded....

What do you mean?
From what I knowBionz requires the DRM keys (TA) to make sure it isn't ported to other devices cause Sony.
Those keys get wiped when you unlock the bootloader to protect the software.
On unlocked the camera software switches to the classic algorithm set when Bionz is NOT available. That's how they fixed the camera problem for UBs during 4.2.2 times.

The bionz is hardware... And it still works, most people say this... The quality of my pictures is just as good as on LB.
But there might be something about the drm affecting algorithms... But what do we know...
