Camera quality get worst after unlock bootloader

duonglv — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:02:18 GMT

Hi, I unlocked bootloader on my z2, after that I realize the Xreality mode not working, also the camera quality got worst. Is there a way to go back? I tried relocking the bootloader but got no luck. I may not need the xreality, but I really want the camera to be as good as before. Please help, thank you!

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

I'm afraid it's not possible to go back. When you unlock the bootloader, the DRM keys are permanently deleted. This may affect advanced camera functionality as stated here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

Did you backup your DRM keys?

If you didn't, then there is no way you can go back.

Try searching xda for solutions.

AFAIK, unlocking bootloader shouldn't affect X-Reality.

Unlock bootloader does not affect xreality fuction if you go back to .69 firmware, if you update to a newer fw it will be disable.
So I think that maybe losing the DRM key is not a problem here. I think Sony developers can enable/disable any function with their firmware update, even the camera functions. Hope so because I did not backup my DRM key

I'm sure because I took the same screenshots of a movie with xreality enable/disable, and they were different in terms of color and sharpness. I dont have those screenshots now, but I might flash back the old fw and take another shot for you.
