I'm considering unlocking my bootloader as it can be unlocked. I know that you loose your drm keys if you don't back up the ta (already done this as rooted). Also does it affect the use of the camera like on z3 z2 ect and the Walkman app are their more pro's than con's to doing it. I can find plenty of info about z devices and what is affected by not for the m2.

I'm looking forward to unlock the bootloader on my M2 D2305. I also have a friend who has an Xperia Mini Pro and unlocked bootloader, he said that if you are unlocking without backing up the DRM partition, you will lose many Sony's unique features. So what exactly is the so called Sony's unique features on our M2 ? Just making sure so that I don't lose anything that I will be using daily though
Thanks in advance
Unique features
from what I know is they are such TrackID or upload android by pc companion or sony update service
Thanks for the reply. TrackID is useless for me, as for Sony's update service, we can always use flashtool so I guess I'm off to unlock the bootloader
Bravia engine
M2 doesn't have it I supposed, seeing it doesn't have the option to turn it on or off
Don't you also lose any DRMed files you bought from sony, like music/movies etc?
What about MHL?
What's MHL ? I don't buy musics/videosfrom Sony, so it's safe for me.

I'm not sure the M2 even has it, tbh.
Nope it doesn't
I'm going to unlock my friends BL in order to flash clean CM11 on Xperia J and I'm wondering whether there is any stuff that will get lost after unlocking the bootloader like x-reality or other stuff. I'm not sure whether something like this exists on Xperia J and whether I should worry about taking a TA backup. If there's no features that will get lost then I'll have no worries as the warranty already expired.
TL;DR
Do I lose anything from Xperia J after unlocking the bootloader?
Seriously? This question is so simple, come on :/
My Z3 is coming in the mail today and I have read a lot that rooting your phone will cause camera degradation due to the loss of Sony DRM keys. I was wondering if there is anyway around this? I have a feeling I'll be okay with Sony's firmware (or whatever it's called) for a time then I will want some more customization. Is there a fix for this or any progress towards a fix?
You can root with bl locked. Backup drm. Unlock bootloader, place back the drm.

To clarify this: rooting (without unlocking Bootloader) has no effect on any features of the Z3. Once you unlock your bootloader the TA partition with the DRM keys gets deleted and you lose some features like low light processing and PlayStation remote play (for more info search with google).
But as Aightu said, if you root you can backup your TA partition to save it. Once you unlock your bootloader you can then relock it if you want to, flash a stock firmware and restore your TA partition to get access to said features.
Please, I need an idea of which of my xperia xz feature would be affected or removed upon unlocking the bootloader?
Unlocked, lost camera quality, image enchancement, ofcource sound effect, but everything comeback with a fixed kernel like androplus...
Is it possible to root z3 without unlocking bootloader on marshmallow,because I heard if you unlock bootloader camera quality becomes bad
