So unlocking the bootloader will whipe your DRM, so i was wondering wich SE app's/services wont work anymore after unlocking?
- TrackID
- PlayNow
what else?
Another would be the 'Like' feature that came with 2.3.3 (facebook integration) as it depends on TrackID.

When 2.3.4 will be here, i think i need to restore all applications that are preinstalled, yes?
The last time went from 2.3.3 to 2.3.3 build 4 i had to flash back to uk generic 2.3.2, gingerbreak and go all the way up again. Also, i had to remove my user data because the screen wasnt responsive because of diffrend settings.
This makes me a very sad panda.
Can anyone tell me if i will be able enable the OTA process by restoring system apps?
Or might it be a better idea to unlock the bootlocker? But then again, is this really worth it? Isnt this a lot of stuff i have to go through? (will i lose my user data? what are the advantages of unlocking the bootlocker and the disadvantages?)
Thanks in advance, as you can see i have quite a lot of questions.
Ya unfortunately you'll have to restore the system apps if you want to OTA update as it checks. As for unlocking your bootloader, if you can do it I would recommend it. Reason being is that once you do you'll never have to worry about losing all your data again (not to mention the ability to overclock and run CM7) as you will always be able to be easily rooted making backing things up/restoring a cinch (either through a nandroid backup or titanium). That being said the SE way of unlocking your bootloader WILL wipe your userdata, as for the paid solutions Im not so sure. And as a disadvantage to the unlocked bootloader SE says it MAY void your warrenty, also you will loose TrackID as it deletes your DRM certs, however I think the paid solution avoids this.

What is TrackID and what are the DRM certs for? I have been wondering this, since the Sony Ericsson unlock page says it will damage the DRM keys.

"Certain content on your phone may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys and the secure user data partition while unlocking the boot loader."

I'm mainly concerned if all the Playstation functionality will still be accessible (don't want to take the Playstation out of "Playstation Phone"... then it'd just be "Phone" >_>)
From what I have read, users like Alejandrissimo and Jinx13 provide a service by which they use the SETool on your computer (remotely connected to their dongle, which functions as a smart card to enable the SETool software), to unlock your phone without damaging the DRM keys. Which again, really has me wondering what the DRM keys are for...
So if anyone can provide details on the DRM keys and what they are for and what they will break if damaged, etc., that would be very helpful!
I don't currently have an Xperia Play, but am now strongly considering getting one, since I'm on AT&T and there's a nice blue AT&T version out now... So if anyone can verify the success of the SE unlock method on the AT&T version, that would be good to know too... I have read that the remote unlock method via Alejandrissimo has worked for AT&T users.

The DRM keys have nothing to do with playstation. They manage the digial rights of sony media, so you will loose Track ID. You will loose the ability to "facebook like" media you are playing in the stock music player. and you will loose the ability to purchase music and videos from the sony qriocity store. Afaik thats about it.
The se unlock method doesn't work. Att is carrier locked.

after rooting and unlock bootloader
i put onmy xperia play the DooMkernel v8
after that i realized that my contacts are missing after getting a lot of numbers
i sync them via facebook but i dont get the pics from the contacts
sry if i confuse you <3
fb contacts missing profile pics in my contacts on my xperia play

I think this is a problem with facebook inside xperia. Try an app from market called "SyncMyPix"
tried and failed
any other tips ?
pretty sure this. isn't related to rooting or custom kernel

Unlocked bootloader? If so then that's your problem.
DRM keys. If you have unlocked bootloader, you cannot use that function, Track ID, Facebook likes, etc.

I'm going to buy G4 tomorrow So I wanna know that is it totally safe to unlock the bootloader of LG G4 without any risk of losing any feature ??
For example in Sony xperia phones it will destroy the DRM keys that will affect the camera performance and the X-reality engine and the stamina mode.. etc
what are the disadvantages of unlocking the bootloader of G4??
I don't care about the guarantee
I unlocked it
it wiped all my data
Some user reported loosing exfat support for sd
Never heard of other problem

Unlocked mine a few months ago. It wiped the data and apparently removed DRM keys, but there is no effect on Camera, Play store, Play Music, Youtube, streaming via web browsers or ANYTHING as far as I can tell.
If you unlock and root, you will lose the ability to install OTA updates, so will be either be (i) downloading and flashing KDZ's for your brand of phone by going to http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOURIMEI or (ii) you can always flash a custom ROM.
In my experience, it's definitely the thing to do if you have a model that supports bootloader unlocking.
Unlocked mine three or four weeks ago. Noticed no issues with anything so far. Everything running perfectly.
Unlocked my bootloader... No issues at all
