[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
My DRM has been restored somehow, upgraded to 4.0 official firmware and doomlords kernal (still bootloader unlocked)

Now I dont know when it was restored but tried music like button yesterday and it works once again.

must be something to do with the 4.0 update maybe

Thought it might be useful :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
So you updated your bootloader unlocked phone with my UK rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
yep honest im shocked too :)

although I did relock my bl on the older firmware but decided to unlock again
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
That's really weird, as it doesn't work for me.. :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] mac_d4di:
Trouble is I have done so much flashing, kernel, roms mods etc it could be anything but worth checking maybe
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
nice job

thanks in ADAVNCE man

now , ia have locked phone again :)

well done
[Xperia Play Android Development] Delons:
I have the R800x, and I need everything reset back to normal, I need a re-locked bootloader, and an un-rooted phone.

All I do is flash this to my phone, and it will be relocked? Even though it is the R800x?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Silly question. If I re-lock my phones bootloader. Can I unlock it with the same code I used to originally unlock it? Or would it be a different code....

I'm 99.2% positive it would be the same code, just want to make sure.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
The key is obtained from the IMEI, if the imei doesn't change, the key won't change
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Thats what I thought. Thank you Cat_On_Droid.
[Xperia Play Android Development] eddymjj:
Blogus is is possible to restore DRM to fix TRack id actually ? mac_d4di say to flashing on 4.0 track id again. Do you know why ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I've got a dumb question. What is this DRM, and what functionality do I lose by not having it? I'm on Verizon, so maybe our phone doesn't have it/need it from stock. I unlocked my bootloader and haven't seemed to be missing anything as far as functionality goes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] das7771:
So do I get the latest flashtool from the X10 forum. Also does the .ftf file go in the firmware folder. I am trying to flash this but it keeps telling me to turn on debugging and unknown sources which is already on. I am trying this on my R800x. I would like to get the latest OTA so that I can have 720p recording.

See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management

this will give you an idea of what DRM is.
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I know what DRM is in general, I just don't know specifically what it's used for in this case. As I said, I can't tell if I've lost any functionality or not, and i'm not sure if thats because the verizon version runs a different firmware or what.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ryocoon:
There are certain apps on the international models (R800i) that use some certificates in the DRM section of the bootloader to authenticate the device with services. Most of those services have generic versions that can be obtained on the Android Market that work without the DRM, although it might cost you a small bit.

For Verizon people, there is ZERO on our devices that the DRM does (at least to my finding).
[Xperia Play Android Development] droiddrums:
Hello, Is this usable on r800x on verizon? Not sure if the question was answered in this forum already . .

EDIT: This did not work on r800x.
[Xperia Play Android Development] fenix4o9:
Got a ?

I wish to relock my x800 but if i ever want to unlock what do i have to do.

I had mine remote unlocked. will i have to do that again or is there an easy way .. i have a ta backup
[Xperia Play Android Development] jami2976:
Honestly man unlocking and re locking the bootloader is pretty easy and their are some really good tutorials to help you through it i'm a total nub when it comes to using the cmd prompt but was able to unlock it fairly easily....I would definitely try to familiarize yourself with this whole process....it will save you not only time but money as well....
[Xperia Play Android Development] fenix4o9:
Ya I kept getting errors tryingto unlock myself. But when I used this to relock my boot loader and then did the ota update it brickwd my phone (boot loop)

800x verizon 2.3.2
[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I got it to work fine on mine. I had to run the flash twice though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droiddrums:
Im having a bit of trouble with this. I reflashed stock kernel and 2.3.2 and data wiped and then flashed the relock ftf twice. Still no luck on r800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] zero_1_2:
im having a hard time relocking my cdma play. Maybe someone with some success could shed some light on the subject?
[Xperia Play Android Development] iliketrains:
I would like to know this as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Sincidius:
Yeah, I was having a hard time too. This is how I got back to stock Verizon 2.3.2...

1. I had to get rid of root. You can lock the boot loader, but it still will show root. When I tried OTA with a locked boot loader and root, it would fail, but not brick. Before you try to lock your boot loader, download and fastboot the 2.3.2 system, you can find the file on the 800X ROM Status post in the development section. (They have a 2.3.3 listed as well, but wasn't sure if it worked. Could go strait to that, but I wanted to get 2.3.3 through OTA to make sure I could update in the future).

2. Once that is done. Use flash tools to load the lock file. Pick the folder the file is in. It won't show files, just folders. Once you select the right folder, click ok. You will see the boot loader lock file, click ok again. With your phone off, hold the back button (looks like a U Turn) and plug the USB port in. It will run some txt in flash tools and tell you to unplug. Once that is done, you should be locked.

3. To test, I went back to fastboot and tried to load the 2.3.2 system again, I got an error saying that my phone needs to be rooted to complete. Once verified, I went to settings, about phone, update (wifi has to be off) and got the update. The first time it failed (I think my download was bad, it too 2 hrs to download) but the 2nd time i tried to download, it took 10 mins and went to work.

That was it. I am now unrooted, locked, and on stock 2.3.3 from OTA. Again, this is what I did and it worked. If it seems hard to do, don't. Not responsible for anyone's brick.

*Note : I unlocked at 2.3.2 with a code messaged to me a few months ago. I guess there's a new way now, but don't know anything about it.

*Note : If after the update, the SE logo is up for a while, don't panic. It will take a few minutes, reboot, and then be good to go.

Thank you and good night. Be sure to tip your devs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Depending on the way the Bootloader was unlocked will matter if this works or not for some people. It does not work for all unlocked phones.

This method does not work for mine for instance, neither Blagus nor Alejandrissimo were able to "re-lock" my bootloader. Ive been told it would need a complete security re write or something like that in setools in order to be re locked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
my phone is kinda bricked. it boots but says "low in space" 380mb after a complete flash with userdata wipe via flashtool.

my question. if I relock my bootloader and use SEUS to reinstall/redownload and flash the firmware. will it fix my phone?

EDIT: re-locked my bootlaoder and now dowloadin via SEUS hope it works and fix my problem :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Sincidius:
Wow. That's kinda crappy. Good luck.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Abaddon:
yeah it's really crappy and now I got more problems

after relocking to try my luck with seus and pc companion, both says my phone has the latest firmware. so I was going to try re-unlocking it via fastboot.

now flashtool won't flash any firmware gives error when flashing kernel.sin

:(

on omnius I get this error code A57CF58A77DB6368
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:

Give me full log!

Also, check if you're typing code 100% correctly and in upper case.

Hello is possible, close again the bootloader and not lose the warranty, with this application, my phone is installed Xperia latest version ARC S + kernel DooMKernel original rom [Rel: modCWM-v2-v13] [05/11/11] [4.0.2.A.0.42]

A tutorial for mounting the application of unbootloader easier, I am somewhat new to all this,

thank you very much
[Xperia Play Android Development] teddymild:
No joy Flashing tft files from op on my arc s. I chose arc as no option for arc s. Then use this tool http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1259617 successfully. However i cant turned on my phone( i think because i was on unlock bl kernel) then i use seus to repair. Finally i get relock my bl. Sorry my poor english.
[Xperia Play Android Development] unrandomsam:
You fail to explain why reflashing the bootloader over either jtag (Boot repair with any box that supports it) or using the same test point method thats used to flash it in the first place is impossible.

Maybe if you explain properly how it works (Which I am sure you are perfectly capable of doing) then it won't look like you have ulterior motives to keep the unlocking cartel funded.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
It's technically possible.

But we don't have red signed original S1Boot.

And you CAN relock bootloader by flashing unmodified one, but then you would also have to restore SEMC signed security zone.

And no, I'm not trying to keep "unlock cartel funded", I don't have any profit right now because I'm out of stock.

An way to relock it, then, would be to repair S1Boot with any unlock software - not unlock, but repair, and then restore original security zone backup.

But then you'll also restore SIM-lock.

Is this OK now?
[Xperia Play Android Development] upinsmoke7610:
I have a sim free r800i I have unlocked the boot loader but not rooted, however update centre has just notified me there is an over the air update to the latest uk firmware, can anyone tell me if it will be safe to do so as I can't afford to be left with a rather expensive paperweight
[Xperia Play Android Development] jumptailo:
DO NOT apply OTA with unlocked bootloader. It will only brick your phone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
That doesn't matter anymore there is a fix for it the fear of bricking is over!

unlocked xperia play via omnius ,only problem phone is now stuck in boot mode and wont allow flashing as usb debuging isnt enabled . any way to revive this phone ?

OK GOT PHONE TO BOOT AFTER FLASHING VIA SEUS .

Does this Works for Xperia Neo V ??? is This for those people who used Official Unlocking Bootloader method ??? I'm New :P

[Xperia Play Android Development] kakatoori:
I am about to sell my xperia play and planning to relock the bootloader.

The steps will be:

1. Flash stock .62 2.3.4

2. Flash the relock bootloader file via flashtool.

3. Do an OTA update of ICS when it arrives.

4. Can i update via pc companion?

Am i correct? Please...i dont want to brick it!
[Xperia Play Android Development] justblayzee:
Can I do OTA updates when ICS comes out with this patch? Also when upgrading to ICS will I lose root and will it be basically factory reset? Probably a n00b question but I'd like to know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ginjamaka:
I am nopt sure if it worked. I am on True Ancestor ROM (mostly stock) I went to service menu Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: YES

I had my BL unlocked, so I am not sure if that means I succesfully locked it again. If so thank you for sharing the file :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Zerosuit Connor:

Hello Mr. Blagus,

I unlock my play, then when i connect to pc, there is new update for .69 firmware.

question: do i need to relock my play before doing the update from pc companion? or remain unlock then update? i am afraid on bricking my play...
[Xperia Play Android Development] noim:
IF i relock my bootloader , can i unlock it again using SONY Unlock method ???

[Xperia Play Android Development] dreezz:
[Ray]

i unlocked via flashtool option with connection to official sony page.

now running JJ's rom + sirkay's kernel.

if I need/want to flash original ics firmware i relock via this tool and then start pc companion or seus, right?

or do i have to flash a ics kernel first, or...?

ps: i read about losing drm-data. not sure what it means, but i also read that you cannot run apps like TrackID anymore.

with the above mentioned config TrackID is working for me, just tested!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Supervillian:
how can i check whether my phone is relock or still unlock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] smokerman:

[Xperia Play Android Development] fma965:
If you can fastboot flash then it's unlocked
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
As I already mentioned a week or two ago, there's unlock key in TA Misc after BL unlock.

This file removes the key, therefore relocks the bootloader.

Flash with FlashTool.

You still can't get DRM back. It's gone from the phone!

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/g1b5j712ajx4yjd/Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf

Feel free to donate if this helped you :)

Update:

If you unlocked your phone with SEtool/Omnius - any testpoint unlock solution - YOU CAN NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER! IT'S PATCHED SO IT APPEARS LOCKED TO SE, BUT ACCEPTS UNSIGNED IMAGES VIA FASTBOOT! SO STOP ASKING ABOUT IT, AND STOP TRYING.

Enjoy ;)
[Xperia Arc General] kistigun:
say whaaaaaaat!!!

this is great news!!!
[Xperia Arc General] NeoInc:
Wow blagus, you are so great.

But is it possible to reunlock the bl with the old unlock key?

Anyway great news and big thx
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
Yes, this flash just removes the newly created key which appeared after unlock. Have you tried it? If you're going to, report the result.
[Xperia Arc General] dzupert:
Not flash :
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
Download again, retry.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I have not tried it but how could you possibly know after completion that bootloader is locked?
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
try to boot recovery, fastboot boot recovery.img

or flash rooted system.img. if it fails, then bootloader is locked.
[Xperia Arc General] AndyD777:
No joy here either :(
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
and if you get it to relock the BL.. try liking a track in media player.. see if it works.. (suspect it might not, cos the DRM is still missing but worth a try..)
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
Download once again. This should be the final fix ;)
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
So this would mean that even those with unlocked bootloaders would be able to update their firmware using SEUS. Sweet!
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
Full reflash?
