Hello all,
I recently unlocked the bootloader with a guide that didn't mention backing up TA keys...
It has now come to my attention since then that I should have backed them up, however the camera is still working along with other Sony features as if the keys haven't gone.
Can anyone clear up just how important these keys are and if it's possible I still have them?
Thanks,
Aaron (Cryptoncore)
It's not possible to return them if you didn't backup them. They are some kind of security for services to know if the phone is unlocked and tempered with. So in this case you loose your warranty.

So it turns out I'm still able to use ALL sony features, camera, gracenote, walkman, etc even after I didn't back keys up. I have now made a backup of the TA partition and its a small 2mb img file. Does that sound about right?
With your bootloader unlocked, the keys are now gone
The only thing you are not able to use anymore is the Bravia Engine and X-Reality

Yeah, i have read in some Xperia z, don't remember which, they lost so camera features and Bravia engine, so if your camera works you'll be good.

So if you unlock the bootloader on the M2, the camera and all the Sony apps still work properly Walkman album ect . Unlike say a Z/z1/z2/z3 with better camera's I know if you don't back them up there gone(mine are saved on Google Drive). I know the consequences of not backing up on the Z range but nothing is mentioned about the M2. Interested as I can unlock mine but haven't yet.

It appears so my friend! Still why not downgrade, root and back them up anyway? After all it would be nice to retain those DRM keys just in case you ever need to send off for repairs.
-edit- Only just noticed you're already rooted. Back those keys up and go for it my friend !

And you don't need to downgrade for root. @Miche1asso made it easy for us, just flash 4.3 kernel, root, flash 4.4.4 kernel, your done.

Sorry! For the disappearance! Had to acheive some personal goals in life! Uploaded another calibration app for some who reported faults! Try out calibration2 app from attachments. Thanks to bumble bee for help! cheers!
Atlast a Fix for the touch issue Mainly associated with Xperia J
Only Some have touch screen problem in xperia J....dunno y!!
Use this fix only if you are not satisfied with touch screen response!! dont callibrate unnecessarily!!
1.Download the callibrate.apk from attachments
2.Install
3.Callibrate and voila....touch screen problem solved! (Should Work! cant solve if any one has a problem yet after callibrating....you should probably wait for next firmware update from sony)
Info: There will be another firmware update soon which solves most of the problem......and the kewl thing is sony is rolling out JB for Xperia J by end of march '13!!! ( no luck for tipo and miro! )
EXTRAS :
11.0.A.3.28 Firmware Download link!
11.0.A.7.5 Firmware Download link!
ENJOY!
PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I HELPED U! COMMENT IF IT WORKED..LET OTHERS KNOW!
I saw my screen is far worse than my friends Galaxy Mini...After I calibrated it became much much better...Only I calibrated twice...shouldn't be the problem?? (Xperia Miro)
If this is the official calibration patch, which I suppose it is, it's no problem Option58
Besides, this was practically already posted... in Themes and Apps section. Together with Xperia Tipo's Bravia Engine.
I think it should be put there anyway, since this is not development, it has been released by Sony itself, or isn't this the official @kishenpj21 ?

I used one in Themes and app section...
How they "push" phone with that bug ;/
Thanks. It works. Ths touchscreen issue had made the phone unusable previously.
I thought Sony would resolve the problem in the latest firmware update but they have made the problem even worse.
what's the touch issue exactly? im running latest build 11.0.A.5.5 in my Miro. no issues so far..
EDIT: is the APK solely for Xperia phones? i got touch issues on my Karbonn A9+/CM Flare.. it cant register 2 touches within a split second..
I can't even insert my pin code... any suggestions?
If u r still under warranty u can unroot and try getting phone to service centre

Hello!
I recently update my XPeria J using THIS tutorial, everything went well but I notice that when I use the stock walkman player the lockscreen music controls are gone, I can only see them if I use the notification bar without any kind of lock system. Is this normal o a bug? I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (11.2.A.0.31) locked bootloader. Is there a way to put them back or any alternatives?
Thx in advanced.
Reset factory!

Hello
Today my brother gave me Sony Xperia J. I've had HTC Wildfire S before, but Xperia J is much better than WFS
I have question about important thing: What is wrong with headphones? I've read about that, and i don't know if it's hardware or software problem. Is that right, that after update to Jelly Bean Xperia J doesn't detect headphones? Is root and flashing any CM or other rom helpful?
Greetings and sorry for my English
I want Xperia Z lockscreen that is of jellybean for all devices and Movies and walkman app of Xperia Z !! I have stock ROM , Rooted with ICS !! Please give me the link and the instructions to install it (via CWM) & Can I get it without installing it via CWM ?! Like kind of replacing app in system/app like that. As I haven't installed any app via CWM before. Will be thankful if I get some guidance

Well I've tried the lockscreen before, It didn't work up! It is already written In the thread that it has been tested in ICS and doesn't work in it. and the link is dead I guess (Of the Small Apps) It isn't opening any other alternative for the two?! Thanks a lot.

First, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554954 is for Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman, not for your xperia X8 or Xperia Miro
Second, you need to flash stock ftf or restore your backup if you have any backup. Hope it helps!
Gimlo firmware deodexed stock kernel bootloader locked if will be help so it its passible to get xperia z lockscreen on my Miro?
You can find the lockscreen in the forum, I forget the link
As far as I know, you just need to root and push the app to the system/app and done
