Hello All,
I am going from a Sony Xperia S to a Samsung Galaxy S III and wondered if the same thing happens when I unlock the bootloader - do I lose DRM Keys and additional functionality on Samsung phones?
On the Sony Xperia S I lost my DRM keys and so Track ID and a few other things did not work.
Thanks for any help you can provide
That never happens with this phone.

Unlock SE Boat Loader (Xperia *)
Given certain circumstances you can unlock your boatloader directly from Sony:
unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
(sorry xda blocking url because of spamming)
I think the only major requirement is that it is not a CDMA phone. If you're in Europe, generally they have to allow you to do this. Otherwise you are sort of stuck with going through operator, or some dodgy site.
Hello,
I am new to Sony products and before I make steps of unlocking the phone I would like to know what exactly to read. The problem is that I have a brand new Sony Xperia J which is locked to a certain mobile operator. What should I do to unlock it? Should I do anything with the bootloader or anything else? If anyone can provide me a valid link to read about that would be great.
I appologize once again for the newbie question.
Regards to all determined to help.
Which of those phones is the easiest to unlock a bootloader and keep it that way, and still have access to official upgrades when on stock:
Sony Xperia Z2
HTC One M8 (not in US, can't buy DEV ED)
Samsung Galaxy S5
LG G2(G3 seems to be unlocked according to forums)
Thanks.
I presume Nexus 5 is fully unlocked and "free".
Hello, I bought my S6 recently and I want to know a good guide on how to unlock the bootloader and if Galaxy devices have something like DRM keys in Xperia devices, because I want to install custom roms. Thanks in advance.
Hello people of xda,
I have a Xperia Z5 Premium model: E6853 running Android 6.0.1 from Bell Canada. I am interested in unlocking the bootloader on this device and I'm already familiar with how to do that, but I have a question about one of the risks surrounding the loss of DRM keys. Firstly what exactly will be affected software and hardware wise if these keys are lost, and in my phone's current state what can I do or can I even somehow back up these keys so if I decide to I can restore my phone to its factory state.
I'm new to how things work on a Sony phone as before I got my Z5 Prem I used to use Samsung devices so please go easy on me.
Thanks!
