Yes, those are missing DRM when you UB. Those require for X-reality/BIONZ/other exclusive Xperia feature....
Imagine TA like multiple block. Each value has it own block. When you UB, those 3 block (MARLIN, WLMA, CKB) will be wiped but still recognize as DRM value (faulty). When you use some feature requires that DRM it will compare each block to original value, if match it will continue to work. If not, well you know the situation

You need root to backup your TA, so yes and no

Hi all,
I'm not new to this game, I used to have an S3 & S4 but I am new to rooting the Z1, I've read about losing the Bravia Engine and DRM keys by rooting, but in basic terms, what does that actually mean?

How can I tell if my boot loader is already unlocked? And what does losing the keys mean? What will it stop me doing?
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
From my knowledge If you lose your keys you won't be able to use Sony services like music unlimited etc and I think you can't play aac files ...Bravia engine is just an image and video enhancer...like X reality...most z1's if not all come with locked bootloader specially if you got it from a carrier...and btw u don't need to unlock your bootloader to get root...there is a video around here and a few guides so go and have a look...have fun

TO CHECK IF BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto service info / configuration
if the last line says
bootloader unlocked: Yes
Then its unlocked
if it says
bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes
then it is locked but you can unlock it
if it says
bootloader unlock allowed: No
then you cannot unlock it
LOSING DRM KEYS
DRM stands for "Digital Rights Management", and mainly is used with sold eBooks/PDFs and the like (and also for sold music files plus maybe even videos). Those keys are to identify your ID as to prove if you have permission to access those documents.
Losing these on your device means NO:
X-Reality - if you cant tell whether this is on or off/ it takes effort to tell them you probably don't need that (you can get this back using a mod in the development section)
BIONZ- makes photos look better, but its not that bad unless you're OCD about pictures.
More GRAINY IMAGES - maybe because of loss of BIONZ? I don't know but tbh its not that bad and images are still good to me.
Download Music Info - it works for me but some say it doesn't may be it works because of the X-Reality mod? someone can correct me if Im wrong.
And other stuff you probably wont notice cause i and many others haven't. it really depends on you but from my experience life is a lot more fun with unlocked bootloader.
REMEMBER GETTING OUT OF PRISON MEANS NO FREE FOOD OR BED BUT YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE A WHOLE NEW WORLD. DONT WORRY, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO PRISON YOU CAN ALWAYS COMMIT A CRIME.:laugh:

Wow that's great, thanks for all the info, so even of I root andflash a custom ROM, going back to stock means I get the DRM keys back?

Yes, it totally wipes all data on the phone, e.g contacts, messages, call history, apps and data, and everything which belongs to internal storage.
You should get a backup before you unlock your BL.
You should just unlock it if you wanna root, and be aware of its pros and cons

Yes it is well known that there is no need to unlock in order to root
However, he has a Z1S. There is no way to root that phone at all, so the point is moot.
He cannot unlock the boot AND he cannot root.
Really? Z1S is unroorable? Or it's like Z1 kitkat, hard to root?

Its impossible.
Z1 KK is rootable because you can downgrade.
There are no rootable firmwares for the Z1S as it was introduced on 4.3 which has no root exploit.

you can only do that after unlocking the bootloader. But doing it that means you do not get to back up your TA.

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.
