video unlimited with bootloader unlocked

DaHOD — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 19:46:17 GMT

Hello here,
First of all, I'm sorry for my bad English.

I encountered a problem with "video unlimited" software after unlocking my bootloader.
It seems to be affected by the drm keys.
Before I unlock my bootloader, it worked.

I downloaded the last update from playstore. That doesn't change anything.

it would be unfortunate for Sony to lose potential customers due to their current policy.

Many people want to have root without losing sony features.
Allow us at least, be able to recover our phones as "out of factory".
It would be much appreciated from developer's community and further, it would make a better advertisement.
Best regards from France

It's not going to work sorry, there are other ways to root w/o unlocking the bootloader.

I wish it was true, but now, you can't root without losing drm keys.

If you know something about this, i invite you to discuss it on xda forum or here !

The Z3 has no known way to root unless you unlock your bootloader

It is also well known that unlocking the bootloader will delete the DRM keys and this is because by gaining access to the root you could therefor gain access to copyrighted coding, Hence why this info is auto deleted

"The Z3 has no known way to root unless you unlock your bootloader"

It's why we lose Drm keys or all great sony features.

A highly placed person could answer this, whether Sony intends to do something or if forsaken its customers.

@Thommo I stand corrected, I should've said, to keep on eye on the XDA forum for any new ways to root the phone w/o unlocking the bootlaoder

Certain pre-loaded content on your device may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys. For high-end devices running recent software versions, for instance Xperia Z3, the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected. The secure user data partition may also become inaccessible, and you will not be able to get any more official software upgrades if you unlock the boot loader.

The basis of my problem is that I can no longer access the sony services (paid services!) After unlocking the bootloader . it does not sound weird?

Sorry but this is my opinion that you have forsaken yourself as you say - You had all features working and then you chose to ignore the warning on Sony's site when you ticked the box to accept the terms when requesting your unique unlock key so you only have yourself to blame by unlocking your bootloader

Have you contacted Sony directly?

you should know that Sony has changed its warning after knowing the problems that arose. sony did not know what it would do exactly.

I know you are angry as you have unlocked the bootloader, losing the DRM keys and well there's no way back, you have to contact Sony directly. This forum is for us, users, to help each other

I have read the disclaimer. I'm not surprised by some problems, what surprises me most is to see sony change it as and when problems arise.

But I posted a topic to see if I was the only one in this case, to get help. but the only people that can help me, it's not you, it's the people in the same situation or sony.
