i am also in a similar situation like you. backup your TA partition first before you unlock, to re-enable the DRM features if u wish to relock the phone. now i dunno if the sync with my gmail account alone would restore all my app data,contacts etc. so for that i also make their backup using android backup utility or pc companion from time to time.(u must know once u unlock the BL u will have the internal memory wiped )

AFAIK, TA partition is where all ur DRM keys are stored. U can backup and restore the TA partition using Backup TA utility. (search on google/xda)
Warning: don't restore another Sp's TA partition as it will hard brick your phone.

Use the search function. And if you unlock the bootloader always keep a copy of your TA partition.

Restoring the TA should relock the bootloader and fix the camera. Are you getting error messages of any kind? I did the same thing but it worked here.

So,
I already unlocked my bootloader and backed up my TA.
I wanted to flash new ftf, and then by accident i flashed the ftf without excluding the TA from the FTF.
My question is, is it going to be a problem?
Does it mean i have new false TA?
Do i need to remove the false TA? How?
Thankyou very much!!:cyclops:
no, don't worry, everything is fine.
Have you noticed any problems in your phone? I bet not.
Once you unlocked the boot, it wiped your TA anyway.

Hope you don't mind me asking this Question here, I am trying to lock bootloader and when I run Backup-TA it starts normal but hangs with "requesting root permissions".? Can someone tell me what's wrong. I am using the latest version wit Win8.

Thanks for that, it was rooted, and shot itself after trying backup-at, would not even come to life. Then I had problems with win8.1 and 'spat the dummy' and reinstalled Linux (Debian) and using flashtool managed to get 14.3.A.0.681 back in, not rooted now and still unlocked. Now to work out how to restore locked with the TA backup.
Ok, so after using AOSP based ROMs for a month, decided to switch back to stock. So flashed NUT's .757 fw. After succesfully booting up i restored my TA backup which i had made before unlocking my bootloader. Restored fine. Ater rebooting, without even thinking i flashed doomkernel v16 through recovery and the device did not reboot rather just vibrated on pressing the power button, no lights. Used flashtool and flashed the stripped ftf. Magically the device rebooted into system. So my doubts are:
1. Have i relocked my bootloader by restoring the LB's TA?
2. How to unlock it again if i have indeed done it?
PS: I have not made a TA backup after unlocking the bootloader
Can someone please help me?

hi mate. we are on the same issues here. my rooting status is unknown too. some of the devs of xda tried to helped me and we cant fix it. He told me that maybe we are facing this issues is because our bootloader is damaged. and the only solution is go to the sony center and replace your phone to a new one.

Does TWRP backup includes TA backup???
Actually my phone runs 5.0.2 Pure X V3.1 and in service menu > configuration all errors (SIM, bootloader, rooting status, etc.,)
I've locked BL. It isn't a problem, 'cause going to pure stock ROM solves everything (should)

No, you have to backup it via pc before unlock. Using TA backup tool.

Reboot recovery, select backup and hit restore...
Basic beginners knowledge..
I suggest bring your phone to Sony service center and never touch anything unless you want to spend money on new phone everytime
