x-reality only work with DRM Keys. If you do not have a backup of DRM Keys forget.

Came back to GB 2.3.7

Yesterday I flashed on my Xperia S GB 6.0.A.3.76 FW. after testing a lot of roms like CM9.1/CM10/KA Xperia/Stock ICS and much more ,I understood that the perfomance with GB FW is the best ever... Everything works like charm ,camera is really great ,especially with "[MOD][CAM]GBXperia S|Video 1080p >20mb Bitrate|720p >15mb Bitrate|>100% Image quality".
Gaming perfomance is so smooth... no lags at all ,GTA VC works and it really great. Also Mobile Bravia Engine is a very huge advantage to me!
Waiting now for the official JB release from Sony ,till then I'm staying with GingerBread FW.
:good:
I thought bravia engine is not working to those who already unlocked bootloader even if you relocked it..yup I agree very smooth when you in gb because I try to reflashed it to recover the drm keys but im failed..music download info is not working also bravia engine..try stock based rom, try xtx7 so smooth also for me it is the best stock based rom and I modify it gx home preferences and tab&grid, all this mod and rom was created by niaboc..see attached

My BL is unlocked and I didn't relocked it. BE works well on GB FW ,but not on ICS. Also tried XTX7 ,but the perfomance was to much sluggish ,games worked on a very low FPS.
One question: If I relock bootloader I can use PCC to update my phone without bricking it right?

I have unlocked bootloader on custom ics rom and my MBE is not working, does relocking bootloader and switching back to gingerbread will make MBE to work again ?
My MBE was working perfectly on ICS before unlocking my phone's bootloader.

It should work. I also had Locked BL with ICS .452 FW and MBE worked great... After unlocking BL ,MBE never worked for me on ICS ,even on .452 FW. Now I'm on GB and unlocked BL.
Never actually tried GB on my S, as soon as I bought it I updated to ICS. I'll give GB a shot and see how it is
Hi, do I install this using recovery? or do I need to use Flash Tool? The one that was posted for the stock GB firmware. Thanks!

Ok, so I need to download the zip file then extract the ftf file and put it inside the flashtool firmware folders then flash through flash tool. After that I can also use fast boot to flash Doom Kernel for root. Ok, Got it. Thanks!

I successfully downgraded my xperia s and MBE is also working,my bootloader is also unlocked.
What if I relock my bootloader and flashed ICS 6.1.a.2.45, will MBE work?

I flashed Doomkernel v4, but install zip from SD card wasn't working. Weird. As soon as I selected the option something got broken, I could not select any zip.

or update it OTA?
is there root for 2.3.7? I was thinking of switching back to Gb too before but not sure if it can be rooted thats why im with ICS for now.
tried rooting gingerbread but kept bootlooping, one more try and it looks like it might have to be going back to ICS.

[Q]Root/CR/CFW

Yo sup guys,
I had luck and hit a deal to gain the ZL for 240€. It's not shipped yet so I just wanna make sure I'm well prepared when it arrives.
However, after watching like every review and "VS" video on youtube, especially checking Bravia Engine HERE I'm pretty sure I don't want to lose it (btw what's your opinion here?).
I checked as well the possibilities of UB/Root etc. I've been facing some confusion anyway so I'd like to ask here.
The Bravia Engine will ALWAYS be available as long I don't touch the Bootloader and let it stay locked, correct?
And I'm able to Root the phone, install Touch Recovery and use a CFW, correct?
I found the following tutorials which I'd like to work with:
Root
Touch recovery
CFW
Thx so far for your attention and hopefully your answers.
Peace
I have one. It is lovely. But I believe the screen could be better. However watching video and pictures the colors are good and nice.

As long as your bootloader is locked, you will have the Bravia Engine 2. However, you can backup your TA partition in case you want to unlock and later lock it again.

Thanks for your reply. However, I plan to actively use the Bravia Engine.
So I can root it, TWRP Recovery and eXistenZ CFW and use the Bravia Engine? I haven't found any infos about it.

Yes you can root it, yes you will be able to use TWRP Recovery and you will be able to have eXistenZ CFW but with X-Reality instead of BE2. At least that's what I see on the screenshots in the topic you liked.

What will be the difference?
Also, is there no way or CFW for using Bravia Engine? What about this Pimp my Rom thing? Not sure but I think I've read you can "patch" Bravia into the Rom with it.

I'm not quite sure because I didn't use this rom. I think X-Reality is like a newer version of Bravia Engine, so don't worry.

Thx. I just checked it out and think I'll stick to the plan to let the bootloader stay locked but root it, TWRP recovery and use eXistenZ.
If I anyone has anymore to contribute I'd like to read it.
Multi Boot
Hey guys,
I gotta misuse my thread for another idea I came along. How about multi boot with locked bootloader? My plan is to at least use Stock Rom and the eXistenZ Rom. Maybe trying out more later on. The options I came along yet either required an unlocked bootloader or will only work with AOSP Rom's.
Anyone an idea?
Peace

[Q] X-reality for Xperia ZL

Hello Guyz Is there any X-reality port for Xperia ZL yet? ( Once I unlocked bootloader so my Bravia Engine was gone and I locked it again so I dont have a working Bravia Engine right now.)
My ZL Firmware is the latest 4.3
Thank You For Your Time

hey jst flash the stock rom again via flashtool u vl recover ur bravia engine
I don't think that this will work... TA partition is unique for each device, so it is not included in the ftf file. Even if you use a backup of TA from another phone it is possible that you brick your phone.
The only thing that might be possible is building your own ftf from your files of sus or pcc. Maybe your own personal TA is integrated in those files.
Xperia ZL, 4.2.2 Stock (.67), rooted

it worked on my live with walkman after flashing stock rom
I did flashed the stock rom and updated through SUS actually but no it does not work. So I desperate so I used the port in Xperia M section (X-reality and BE2), and still I have no luck getting it work again.
However, I'm still enjoying my ZL screen and resolution. But its a plus if get to have BE2 or X-reality working again
I've been using zl for a while now. I've tried a lot of things. I even flashed an aosp rom with the expense of losing the be. I'm not quite satisfied so i reverted back to stock rooted rom, bootloader locked. Good thing i have a ta backup. Never restore a different ta backup as it will brick your toy bro. You can never find your drm keys elsewhere. It's unique. Based on everything i've read in the forums, without the drm keys on your ta partition, be won't work. Just sharin' bro

stock kernel anyone?

Hi!
I would like to start experimenting with my Xperia S (currently with the latest stock ROM). I rooted the smartphone, made backup of the DRM keys and unlocked the bootloader. I would like to have, just in case, the stock kernel of the Xperia. Is anyone who can share it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't confirm it is rooted or not though.
Thank you, I would like to have it "just in case", the ract of rooting or not is a minor thing. Thx for the upload!

Root only method for XZ2 Compact (Oreo). Does Exist?

Hi there
I am looking for the method to root my Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, but still nothing. I don't want to unlock bootloader and lost DRM keys (and waisting the time for repairing) . I don't need to flash custom roms. Root privilages are more than enough for me.
Anybody testes something and is able to help?
Thanks in advance
