I'm guessing not as the only ta backup I have is from 4.3 and I've relocked my bootloader on both 4.2 and 4.4 using the only one backup without any problems

Your backup should work fine, I was on CM11 but decided to go back to stock yesterday. I restored my TA backup from 4.2.2. Effectively soft bricking the phone while relocking the phone and restoring my DRM keys, then immediately used flashtool to flash the global 4.4 update. All worked fine. On first boot it updated my NFC firmware which I believe is TA linked but its running perfectly now.

Official 4.3? YES you have to.
Leaked?? U dont have TA partition at all (after unlocking BL)
Late reply!!!...
What @smogf said ^^
If you are flashing the official one you need to
If you are flashing the leaked one you need unlocked bootloader so the TA is not there ...

Getting back to stock to update to 4.4

I have an unlocked bootloader and I'm currently on a version of OmniRom
To get to stock 4.4 update do I just flash a tft to get back to stock?
Will I need my TA keys for this? I lost them by accident. My camera works fine on this rom so I'm not sure if I will need it to go back to .136 4.3 JB
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know you would only be needing the TA keys if you wanted to update your phone via OTA or PC Companion. TA restore won't be necessary if you will be flashing a ftf thru flashtool.

Thank you so much, I just need to know what to do when I get on 4.3 again, I wanna update to 4.4 but I dont have the TA keys
If 4.4 is released you can flash those tfts as well. Most probably faster than waiting for ota

Lost BE After bootloader Re-Lock

I know It sounds strange but when I relocked my Bootloader with my TA i lost bravia engline
although I did that before and BE2 was working on 4.3
Any Suggestions I tried Relocking and reflashing
tried Several TA'S I had made
no luck
And BE works in the movie app
when you unlock your bootloader your drm's gone for good!!
if you didn't backed up your TA then it's lost forever
Actually I have 3 TA's which don't work
Forever No BE2

EVERY phone's TA signature is unique. u are lucky not to hardbrick ur phone...
All 3 are made from my phone
One when I had 4.2
one after flashing 4.3 (It's After restoring 4.2)
One before Flashing 4.4
I know very well what would happen if i flash someone's TA into my mobile

did you get any errors when flashing?
if you have backed up using TA backuper you can flash back to 4.3 then restore your TA,
if you have backed up using flashtool, DRM are lost! you can't restore your DRMs

Backup TA
Fixed after restoring 4.3
Unlocking on 4.3
Flashing 4.4
Rooting with CWM kernel
Restore TA
System Restore
Wait for 2-3 H and it will work by itself

Yes you can restore it on any stock ROM you want. Just make sure everything is stock.

there is already a thread about that, but no matter
flash the original ftf (the one where you have backuped your TA!!), than relock the bootloader and at last, restore your TA BAckup now you are completely on stock and no one can figure it out, if your BL was unlocked or not

hi @mo120697, thanks fr the reply, but do i have to go back to the same FTF, because i was on stock .157, but stock . 157 generic IN FTF isn't available i think, I found .108 FTF

you can use .108 as well i think, what matters is that you are on 4.4.4 when you have backuped on 4.4.4 but btw, i can share .157 BAL with you, from baltic states, works well with non baltic states
