Is it possible or it's lost forever?
BE2 stays on phone but not working.
i have nothing lost my BE after Unlocking
I had already rooted my z1 when on 4.2.2... But now the 4.3 updates removed the root... Unlocking bootloader ia only option as far as I know.. So I want to ask is..
A) if I unlock bootloader will I loose xreality engine? If yes how do I save that from not happening..
B) is there a "stable" way to install CWM recovery amd not unlock bootloader..? Is there is.. Will mybstock features be affected such as loss of xreality n DRM keys?
C) is there a way to unlock bootloader without looaing DRM keys? If so again will I loose the z1 features?
Please help..

A) if you unlock bootloader you WILL loose xreality. To get it back restore backed up TA partition. You can't have unlocked bootloader and xreality at the same time. Here is a video on how to get full root on 4.3: http://youtu.be/1aq9YTlfCgc
B) Yes you can install the recovery on any rooted Xperia Z1. You don't need an unlocked bootloader to be rooted.
Here are some more explanations if you are confused http://youtu.be/l78p_2ShPS0
C) You will always loose DRM keys when unlocking but you can back them up before unlocking to restore them later
Out there are 2 ways only how to root your Z1, both are for Locked Bootlader. 1 best way is here step by step, page 2, Post #16 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2588331&page=2 or NUT method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2572988
..and what @shem2409 said it's all right.
How do I check if my DRM keys are still there?
From what I can see one my phone, the X-Reality is working fine on my videos and pics, also I am able to download music info.
This is after unlocking bootloader from a partially rooted .290 and flashing CWM Recovery+root and 136 firmware.
You already asked for yourself... Why you made this thread?

Are you saying on .136 they fix also the features like X-Reality, Bionz and Bravia? This will be great.

If you have unlocked bootloader...why would you have a partial root ?!!
are you sure that the bootloader is unlocked?
U seem to be on the stock kernel..which is resonsible for the x-reality and Bionz stuff

Partial root on .290 was because I did the root .534 then update via OTA to .290
Sick of partial root as it did not allow me to edit the build.prop or other system files.
So decided easiest way was to unlock bootloader on .290 and then flash stock .136 firmware (singapore Singtel) with the CWM kernel from doomlordz. actually I did restore my TA backup from .290 and soft-brick phone so reflash firmware to startup, then unlock bootloader again.. but second time I did not let the phone reboot after unlock bootloader the second time, just disconnect from USB and reconnect again in fastboot mode. Maybe thats why didnt give it a chance to wipe the DRM keys away?
I am puzzled also as I managed to download music info via Wifi and also option to tick/untick X-reality engine is still there.

Take a screen shot with X reality on and off. Compare them in gallery. The option to check and uncheck x reality will be there in locked or unlocked bootloader but it wont work on custom kernel. I wish I was wrong.
Interesting, I have my Z1 unlocked/rooted, I think that X-Reality is working (enabled in Display Settings) but how do I know if the Bionz and/or DRM keys are present and functional? Running iHacker 2.1 ROM.
BTW, I had downgraded to unlock (and backup up TA partition) and then flashed iHackers based on .290 based iHackers.
opposite of urs !! my X-reality was working on .290 UL
for me X-reality was working well on .290 UL without DRM keys .. then I relocked my phone and sure that makes my phone not booting So I updated my xpeira via pc companion to .136 and I totally lost X-Reality effect on both of videos and photos !! ...
after that I followed the steps on this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/bravia-engine-2-restore-4-1-4-2-4-3-t2610923
so I restored my X-Reality but it's working only on photos now.. Not working on movies like .290 before and I'm sure about that
so weird !! .. for me the opposite !! X-reality was working well on .290 UL

Hey all,
I just bought a used Z3+ and was wondering if someone could look at the following screenshot and tell me if my DRM keys are 100% intact and my bootloader has never been unlocked. I'm having a hard time figuring it out because after the first three, all other screenshots I've found have more [Key Ok] [Active] things than mine does. but, they are also for other phones. I'm used to phones without DRM, so I want to make sure I've got everything as intended. Can anyone compare to their Z3+ who may have never unlocked it and see what they think?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
i am 100% sure your DRM key is working
Right now z3+ don't has ROOT without unlock Boot loader
That mean it can't backup TA partition and can't restore DRM key
So this phone NEVER unlock Boot loader.

Got unlocked bootloader without possible root (5.0.2 28.0.A.8.266 firmware E6533 (z3+ Dual)). Used flashtool before unlock and saved S1 Dump in Advanced menu. Is it possible to get DRM keys from S1 Dump and restore bootloader lock?
Or my DRM keys now lost... ?
Hi Guys
Quick question: Does making the only root (with Kingroot) on my Xperia Z will effect deleting DRM Keys of camera?
I am not going to unlock bootloader and install custom roms.
Thx in advance
Ps. no answer on the forum for me
no,
but unlocking bootloader does
