It's working again! Even after getting my drm keys lost, BE2 is working after the 4.4 update! still having BL unlocked, running stock kernel not rooted
BRAVIA ENGINE 2 WORKS on unlocked in 4.4 !
- Thread starter kuboweb
- Start date
I was hoping for this after reading this tweet from DooMLoRD some time ago. 
Anyone else confirm it? If so, my bootloader will remain unlocked after rooting KitKat.

will this only work if you are previously unlock the bootloader then upgrade to KitKat
or
will it also work if you unlock the bootloader after you upgrade to KitKat ?

More sounds like as long as you have 4.4, DRM stuffs like BE2 will work anyway. Awaiting for confirmation from devs.
maybe someone who claims it to be working can post before and after pictures of BE? although it can be easily done with PS, im sure no one here is immature enough to pull of something like that. :angel:
Upgrade to 4.4 and see if there's a difference in picture quality with bravia on and off.
Take one screenshot of the same picture with BE off and one with BE on and compare them. It works.

Hey bro can u post some proof.. Or can u test.. Even with videos.. I'm only asking coz i don've my device.. :silly:Take one screenshot of the same picture with BE off and one with BE on and compare them. It works.
correct me if I'm wrong .. but I think Bravia engine is a post-processing system .. so it doesn't really matter how you took the picture ..Take one screenshot of the same picture with BE off and one with BE on and compare them. It works.
you can actually notice some (subtle) changes happening when you look at the picture at Album with BE on ..
the same goes with Video ..
posting pictures here would not make any different, because the raw data is the same ..
lol its doesnt work like thatTake one screenshot of the same picture with BE off and one with BE on and compare them. It works.
its post-processing engine that work on actual screen, not on images, you should take picture using camera not screenshot :]You're both wrong. I didn't talk about taking pictures but on taking screenshots. It's different when u use screenshot option, u collect information in real time from ur screen so BE2 effects will be visible on screenshoot image. Take screenshot (in xperia album app) with on and off and compare it on ur PC.lol its doesnt work like that

There are a few things flashed to TA so it's possible, but wouldn't that work only if you flash using Emma?
As seus and pc companion don't work with unlocked bl.
The custom ftf around don't flash anything to ta.
I relocked bootloader and restored my Ta so can't say what it did as I wasn't paying attention, might be worth experimenting with.
Just a quick musing.
If it has restored drm, then I wonder if unlocking would improve camera quality on custom roms.

Yeah!!!It's working again after installing kitkat.I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time.Welcome back BE2.
I'd guess that it's removed the DRM checks from BE2 etc rather than restoring the DRM keys to the TA partition. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem likely that the unique DRM keys could be generated and pushed to the TA partition by an update.
