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
Did anyone apply this thing?? Is it stable ??

[Q] Which functions are lost if you unlock the Bootloader?

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?

Update the bootloader from here. Don't use Emma, use the FTF method. It works on D2302.
