Hi everyone..
I've read in other Sony devices forums that when you unlock the bootloader, you may loose the DRM keys, and by consecuence, you will also loose some sony propietary Algorithms, like Xloud, CLearAudio+, etc.
For those who have already unlocked it, have you experienced any issue with Music info downloader/Xloud/ClearAudio+, or even the camera got worse?
Thanks

No Sony PC Companion anymore. Walkman can be obtained via Play Store, Bravia engine is not available on the M2 (and is mostly a marketing burb anyway), the rest is rumour of esoteric nature.
Hello, what about the camera effects - motiongraph, AR, filter etc? Do they still work?

Hello there!
I have bad news... As you saw in the title, there won't be any official release of Lollipop for any NON-Xperia Z range smartphone, like M2, M2 Aqua, E1, E3, T2, T3, C3, etc...
Here the proofs:
And this is happening while the Moto G is updating to Lollipop officially via OTA.. Good job Sony, you did it again! :good:
If the confirmation isn't revoked. Mmm, they're pushing us to buy Xperia M4 Aqua instead or a Z series. Which isn't an option for everyone. This is bull****.
Either way, the work which galaxyfreak, erickas and FXP are doing is amazing. They aren't leaving us without any hope xD. Thanks to them :3.

Yeah, that's absolutely right, but a rom without camera or with random reboots it's not stable for daily use rom... That's why I went back to stock, I couldn't use the phone normally with that..
Hope they can find a solution for them soon... That would give our Xperia M2 a new life.. A new start...

Totally right. But, the progress they've made is fairly enough. Camera is a pain in the ass, we all know that, but, still, the development makes some good progresses. So, still waiting. In some point they'll make it.
Sorry for asking!
Can you provide link where you found it?
They force us to buy much expensive Xperia Z series phones because of lollipop!!!!!
Screw you Sony
But I still have a hope, because M4 have lollipop(M4 does not belongs into Z series)
I also I hope for FXP team, ericas and galaxyfreak for Stable release... Keep the good work up (Y)
I would like to help them, but lack of skills and knowledge I can only hope
Maybe CM team take it their offical list...I hope!
And AGAIN!!!! SCREW YOU SONY!!!!

Obviously it's on their twitter. Then again, I knew this was coming, considering they pusged 3 updates for Kitkat. On other notes, erikcas managed to get deep sleep working, so only thing left is camera and FM
Been saying it since they confirmed it in a email almost 5mth ago but no one would have it. I was considering buying a second Sony device and a Sony smart watch to go with my m2. Don't think I'll bother now or if I do may have to consider another brand. also surely there is still 6mths of the 18mth update cycle left to run

Really? C3? xD. Well, in many ways M2 catch C3's up, so, might be a great hope for some of us. But, everything is so ridiculous at the same time -w-.

Check in the screenshots that the kernel is from Dec 2014... IMO, that was actually a test to see how lollipop performed in mid-range phone. Maybe the experiment went wrong and that's why they are now telling via twitter there won't be lollipop for us... That's what I understand from this situation..
Edit: Also, still no new firmware certidied for Xperia C3..

It's only about the money they would have to pay programmers to prepare Lollipop update for mid-range devices.

Yep, they only take care of the Z series users.. Even though the original Z is now more than 2 years old, and the M2 less than one..

True, that's why ppl with Xperia SP scream in agony when they heard M2 is getting Kitkat, not SP
I've heard that french local authority can pursue a company who are setting voluntary a planned obsolescence, so why not using that against sony?
Sony did stopped the update, so that obsolescence, since Lollipop is here....
thats for cases when the company includes something in the device which stops it from operating. a phone with an old android version is still a working phone
Well, i think this news will make you happier guys!

This does not solve the lack of official Lollipop release for M2

Not exactly. Now the kernel and recovery have different partitions so even if you flash a new kernel it wont affect your recovery.
You have to separately flash kernel and recovery from now on. Which really simplifies the flashing procedure and makes it even more safe.
This type of partition exists in almost all the phones you get from other brands, glad that Sony has adapted to it.

Is there a way how to revert back to old bootloader? I've forgot to flash stock before the new bootloader, device is not booting, now I'm gonna flash stock (downloading ). I hope the device will wake up...
Btw what would happen if I restored DRM keys?
hey @jerpelea Upload FTF file of new bootloader. my varriant is not compatable with sony flash tool. i want to use unofficial fashtool.
I installed the bootloader with the flash of sony "Emma", restart the phone only black screen and after a long wait I install the firmware FTF with Flashtool unofficial.
will anything change? Signal strength is bad, wrapped also absent
It's available on the D2203

Hi guys, I've found myself asking this question all over the development forum but this should be the only appropriate section.
I'm going to buy a Z3 but only D6653 is available in my area.
So, I just want to know if I can flash roms which are actually designed for D6603 like THIS (without D6653 patch) on the D6653 without anything broken? (I don't know if D6603 and D6653 have the same hardware configuration)
Will I get all the functionality like D6603? or I should buy a real D6603 one?
sorry for the confusion if my english is bad
Thanks in advance!

You can use any roms made for D6653 for D6603, even D6603 ftf stock can be flashed for D6653 through flashtool, everything is ok just the model was changed to D6603 in setting menu instead of D6653

Your contact list still intact or attached to google server...as long as u remember how to log in google and always set contact list sync to google then I think you are fine, your contact will not lost.
Btw have you tried flash D6603 with stock MM firmware? Try with clean install, (user data, app logs and cache must be checked to be erased).
I'd like to ask
does anyone on this forum ever trying to flashing Xperia XZs firmware on XZ?
is it can be true?
if its failed, what gonna happen to the phone?
hope you guys can answer it
thank you
Even Dual SIM version do not work properly, XZs firmware won't work at all. They seem like same phones, but their RAM capacity, camera (and probably eMMC/UFS) are different. So, if you wanna make your phone brick do it
