What exactly gets lost when I unlock bootloader? I don't care about x reality and things like that but I thought I had read somewhere that nfc gets lost also but can't find where I read that. Can anyone confirm what exactly is lost? Thanks.

I lost mirrorlink. Restore TA will make it work again. There's a thread somewhere about that...
Does things like ClearAudio+ and other audio effects get lost when unlocking bootloader?
Bump
Anything else besides x-reality and ota? Also, does anyone have any insight as to what losing x-reality will mean? Does it just adjust the pictures and video as I see it on my screen?

Is it rooted?

No. It isn't
I would suppose either try really hard to remember the password, or re-flash the firmware
How would I go about flashing the firmware ?
dont flash the firmware .. but do a hard reset. For instructions on doing a hard rest.. just google how to hard reset xperia play
I tried that and i followed the steps involving pc companion . The only thing about that is it keeps saying Sony Ericcson server overload . No matter how many tries it always says that toward the final steps
Use flashtool and download one of the stock firmwares from the dev section here
Flashtool is pretty easy to use once setup
You can use WotanServer to flash firmware, Slightly more user friendly.
Does usb debugging have to be on ?

With wotanserver you pull the bettery put the usb in then hold the search button then put the battery and it will boot in to fastboot or something and it will flash it that way, so I would imagine it would not need to be on, I don't know since I have USB debugging on all the time. Flash tool and Wotan do the same thing, and both have instructions before it starts flashing.

Sounds useful. Do you have a link that would take to download wantonserver ?
Why dont you try reinstalling the firmware from pc companion. Just go to software update and repair your software...
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Go with wontanserver since its easy and you can pick any firmware version you want and it will download and flash it for you with 1 click
Wontanserver costs money plus I'm not sure if it works for the Verizon cdma Xperia play
It's much easier if you sit there for hours trying to guess the password.... How did you forget it??? It's something your unlocking at least once per hour....

Wotanserver does not cost any money at all its totally free and it does have the cdma firmware on it. Maybe you should just check it out before down playing it

Yes it costs if you want to have it unlocked but that's not the case here flashing is 100% free for SE phones and if he wondering about "other" phones this is the wrong place!

If the Bootloader unlock allowed is missing in the service menu is it still possible to unlock it? And if so what's the steps ti do so.
If this has all ready been covered, I may have missed the post while searching.

Hi xda friends I have managed to find a fix for sound effects not working correctly on Z1 4.3jb .136 StockRom by using some older Sony fw files. By applying this fix you will have all sound effects working in movies incl xloud and overall volume levels will be back to what they should be. Just flash the zip using Twr or Cwm.
Before install you must;
- Be on Stock .136 4.3jb Rom.
- Be rooted.
- Have dual recovery installed.
- Perform nandroid backup before installing (just in case it goes wrong).
NOTE....
What you do to your device is your choice and responsibility, If you break it then you fix it!

you are on a C6902, the fix is for C6903. C6902 firmware will have differences to the C6903 firmware, hence why you cant notice the difference.

Do you have the bug where sound effects don't work in sony's movies app?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Guys I need you all to report back if it works or not for you, but only if you meet the current Rom requirements. If the bug also exists on the C6902 variant I can try to find a fix but won't be able to test it, I sold all my other xperia's and only kept my Z1 C6903 model.

its fine now, i dont know what it is but i have trouble downloading small files from mega. Any how, just tested on a c6903 on 136 firmware rooted and recovery all available of course. The bass has now gone up on the videos, they sound like they did on 257 firmware, i havent tested in 3rd party apps though, should the sound fix also work in 3rd party apps?
It depends on how the 3rd party apps are designed. Some use their own (built into the app) libraries for sound output and others will use the device effects for sound output.

Cant use remote play on my new Z5 premium. Device is totally stock android, and keep getting the error code 88001003, I have Googled this and people seem to think it's a problem related to rooting. I bought the device brand new from Amazon is there anyway I can check the device was not altered prior to me having it?
Or is there anyway to fix this problem?

No phone is completely stock.
I've just found out that, it was SU Pro key app which was hiding away that had transfered/auto synced from my note 4, and even though the Z5p was not actually unlocked or rooted, ps app was detecting a root related app!
Crazy security measures.
