As far as I'm aware the issue still stands of the stock camera not working with an unlocked bootloader.

No
Unless you made a backup before unlocking the bootloader you have lost your DRM keys forever.

Relocking the bootloader and Re-flashing a new ROM (even from other countries) wiping all (data, dalvik, etc) worked for me, tried this on my Xperia SP and Xperia Z2. Because the new TA partition is included on most firmwares...
Try to flash a 4.4.2 ROM (or any locked bootloader rootable), to be able to backup your new TA partition...
OR
Try this method :

Incorrect.
The DRM keys are NOT included in any FTF. If they are lost they are gone for good.
There are some methods about that partially restore some of the functions that require on DRM keys, but they are not 100% the same as having the keys
There is no point backing up the TA once you have unlocked.

I am running CyanogenMod now and need to go back to factory software (locked bootloader with the TA restored). I have got an old firmware (4,4,2 Android), but it includes the TA. I already made a TA backup myself, but what to do: flash the stock ROM with the TA and than restore my backup or should I not flash the firmwares' TA but only restore my TA?

Restore the TA and flash a stock FTF with flashtool before you reboot.

You unlocked the bootloader ? I did in my m2 but the tutorial that followed sent have unlocked bootloader , even had no problems in my

no i did not unlock the bootloader ..opps ..didnt know about it.
by the way what is sony ric?
will try that ..
any other solution ???

Nope, if you have bootloop and no back up to restore. Which I'm guessing you don't as you are trying to root. You'll have to more than likely re-flash the ftf ideally wiping user data and cache to avoid problems and start from from the beginning. My advice root the proper way.

PLS HELP Rooting Xperia Z5 [LB]

Hey!
How can I root my Z5 which has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. I don`t want to unlock the phone, did that with my Z2 and wasn`t worth it until the final Android Version has arrived.
Specs:
Z5 E6653
32.2.A.0.305 / R9C STOCK
Locked Bootloader
No Recovery

you only can get not full function root with LB, but you can use it to backup your TA.img, then you can unlock your BL, when you want drm back, you just restore them
