There is no DRM partition on the Smartwatch 3, you can unlock and relock as needed with no penalty as far as I can tell.
Ok thanks

Hello! If i unlock my bootloader on my xperia neo and then lock it again will i lose my warranty?(i want to root my phone and seems that OTA update is not working so i want to try the method wich implies unlocking the bootloader)Thanks in advance!
Yes you will, unlocking bootloader deletes DRM certificates so even if you relock, sony will be able to tell i beleve the payed method of bootloader unlock does not delete the certificates though

Hello.
To root your phone you just have to downgrade to a 2.3.2 rom with wotanclient, root with gingerbreak and do an OTA update (no danger during the update as long as your bootloader is locked)

Is DRM keys the only big issue? If so, I can see that that can be worked around. I asked Sony about this today and they said that a lot of issues they see with their phones are as a result of modding, so if the BL is unlocked, you lose your warranty. I don't want to ruin a 2 year warranty on new phone. Yet, as Doomlord pointed out, Sony offered users to test the ICS which involved BL unlock...I'm confused.
Hey,
I would like to unlock my bootloader. In all the guides I've read, it says I will lose all my data.
I was wandering whether its possible to perform a Nandroid backup before bootloader unlock and then restore that data after bootloader unlock.
Could someone please tell ne if its possible?
BTW, I use a Sony Ericsson Xperia arc.
Thanks
Testpoit it. Its easier and you dont loose anything and not the DRM keys too. Easier to relock it too, as original

How would I relock my Bootloader?
Is unlocking a bootloader the same as making it simlock free?

No. Bootloader unlocking is not the same as sim unlocking. Bootloader unlocking allows you to install custom roms to your phone.
i want to unlock Sony ericson xperia pro (mk16i) to install custom roms
But i m worried about warranty issue...
Is relocking boot loader of my device Mk16i recovers warranty???...
you can unlock your bootloader by 2 methods
1)doing it thru official sony website
2)test point method...
when done using official sony website, you lose your drm keys(useless) but thru test point method you dont lose those..however, relocking bootloader can only be done on sony unlocked bootloaders to gain your warranty back.....
hit thanks if i helped.

First of all Many many Thanx for reply, Because i was waiting for reply many hours...
Actually i have unlocked xperia pro boot loader without any safety knownlodge but know i relise...
So relocking bootloader will back warranty again??ARE U 100% SURE????
is there any danger from deleting drm files to warranty?
i m going to hit thanx button on ur reply, please reply fast
see drm keys are used only for stupid purposes like trackid and othr utterly useless stuff drm keys never cause problems for warranty because people who use their phones normally can also lose those drm keys...
and yes, relocking a bootloader will give you back your warranty(thanks to sony who does not keep a record of unlocked bootloader phone's imei number)
but remember that relocking can only be done on bootloders that are unlocked using the official method...

1 more question Can I unlock my bootloader while i am at Android version 4.0.4 ?
You can unlock it on any version.
Hi guys, I am considering purchasing Z3C and it would be my first Sony phone, but I am hesitant because I read that in order to root it, you have to unlock its bootloader which will lead to loss of DMR keys and degrading camera output quality.
How does rooting work for Z1C? Is it possible to root without unlocking bootloader and losing DMR keys? Should I go for Z3C and hope that it will be possible in future?
In z1c you can easly root without unlocking bootloader. You need unlock bootloader if you want to have cm roms or aosp or have other kernel than stock. Z3c should have this option in future. In z1c you can backup your ta partition and always you can relock your bootloader
