Hello people of xda,
I have a Xperia Z5 Premium model: E6853 running Android 6.0.1 from Bell Canada. I am interested in unlocking the bootloader on this device and I'm already familiar with how to do that, but I have a question about one of the risks surrounding the loss of DRM keys. Firstly what exactly will be affected software and hardware wise if these keys are lost, and in my phone's current state what can I do or can I even somehow back up these keys so if I decide to I can restore my phone to its factory state.
I'm new to how things work on a Sony phone as before I got my Z5 Prem I used to use Samsung devices so please go easy on me.
Thanks!

Hello All,
I am going from a Sony Xperia S to a Samsung Galaxy S III and wondered if the same thing happens when I unlock the bootloader - do I lose DRM Keys and additional functionality on Samsung phones?
On the Sony Xperia S I lost my DRM keys and so Track ID and a few other things did not work.
Thanks for any help you can provide
That never happens with this phone.
Hello,
I am new to Sony products and before I make steps of unlocking the phone I would like to know what exactly to read. The problem is that I have a brand new Sony Xperia J which is locked to a certain mobile operator. What should I do to unlock it? Should I do anything with the bootloader or anything else? If anyone can provide me a valid link to read about that would be great.
I appologize once again for the newbie question.
Regards to all determined to help.
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and went through a few threads on rooting Xperia Z2 devices, but didn't see my model ie D6502 listed as a supported device. I really need to make sure that I don't screw it up, hence I would appreciate if someone could help me out a little here?
Thanks in advance and regards.
Hello @DePacifier,
Here is a thread specifically for your device model. I'm pretty sure you won't screw up as long as you do the necessary reading.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Please see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/guide-xperia-debranding-rooting-bl-t2072031 It looks like it's not possible without paying for an unlock code.
