yup, relock the bootloader and try :good::highfive:

His bravia engine will only work if he restores his DRM keys.
on 4.4.2 it should work without though

Thats not true, BE works on unlocked bootloader too, on 4.4.2 & 4.4.4 stock ROMs. You don't need to relock it or restore DRM keys. Try this and see if theres any difference. Open one picture in Album app with BE turned off and take a screenshoot. Now turn on your BE and go to Album app, find the same image and take sceenshoot again. Now compare screenshots, you will see the difference.

If you are in JB, there is no way to relock the bootloader but Bravia will definitely work with "Movies" even with unlocked bootloader.
I'm not too sure about "Album" because I havent seen a clear difference (Can anyone confirm this btw?).
If you are in ICS however, neither Bravia nor music info download from Gracenote will work until you relock the bootloader. And yes it is possible. Search the threads.
I've seen that Download Music works on JELLY BEAN. but in album pur example it doesnt work not a little difference!
I've searched but only found the xperia S version..but I can t do it because I need things for xperia T

[Q] Bravia Engine 2 Problem !!!

Hi. I tried to root my Xperia Z and after that Mobile Bravia Engine 2 stopped to work. Is it any way to reset the app so it can work propertly again? At this time when I turned it On or Off nothing changing. I tried it again with locked and unlocked bootloader but was the same! I tried even both stock roms, 10.1.A.350 and 10.1.A.434. What can I do, anybody knows?
Once you unlocked the bootloader,BE2 is forever lost(unless someone is able to port it somehow)
It's weird because I think I saw a port of the bravia engine in the lg optimus 4x forum. So maybe it's not that difficult to port it back.

just rooting and keeping the bootloader locked doesn't mean loosing bravia engine, am i right?

Yes this is correct.
As long as your bootloader is locked,BE2 will remain

No a Bravia2 issue as much as a reading issue

[Q] Unlock Bootloader from .290 - camera OK?

Hi all, just wondering if I unlock bootloader (C6903) from JB 4.3 (rooted, Firmware .290), will:
1. The camera be working
2. Bravia Engine be gone?
(I have TA keys backed up already)
If all good, I might give it a try in anticipation of installing PAC Rom.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Restore TA backup on Custom Kernel with UB

Hello guys,:fingers-crossed:
I have unlocked my BL and flashed custom kernel. Also I have a backup of my TA partition. So as we know, the Bravia Engine 2 is not working when we unlocked BL because lost of DRM keys. But I want to stay on custom kernel. It means my device must stay on unlocked BL. So can I restore my TA backup with Custom kernel with unlocked LB to get back BE2 on unlocked BL? If i do so, what will be happened to my device? I want to get BE2 on my device with custom kernel with unlocked BL.
Your help will be highly appreciated guys! :good:
Thanks & regard all of you guys :good: :good:

Thanks bro! :good:
Currently I'm using Ultimate Pure XSP v2.3 from @dipesh1502. It have X-Reality. Currently I have disabled it by editing build.prop. I can always get it back. You mean I can use X-Reality even on unlocked BL?

Camera problem

Hi everyone
I'm visitor of xda forum for 6 years, but this is first time that I decided to write or ask something.
I have problem with camera of my Xperia z3+. I can't record hd videos, because when I try to record my phone freeze, and also focus doesn't work when I take photos for near object. I have tried everything in settings, but not success. I have tried also to repair my phone with Xperia companion from PC, and surprisingly it works, but unfortunately only for some days (maybe one week). After that same story. Again doesn't work. Don't ask me to call or to send the phone to Sony company because it doesn't exist in my country. What do you suggest guys? To flash new rom? Lineage? Or other official stock roms, even though I have tried to flash official 7.1.1 US version.
Sorry for my English, and thank you.
did you unlock your bootloader?

did you backup your DRM keys? if not, they are lost forever, that's why your camera have problem focusing, x-reality stops working and so on. flashing new roms will not solve your problem.
you need to flash kernel with DRM fix.
