14 DAY TRIAL // Xperia Z1, the latest Android-based smartphone from Sony Mobile, is showing a series of problems when trying to unlock its bootloader.
Apparently, those who would like to the remove the lock from their handset’s bootloader will find out that the camera might no longer work when the process is completed.
Those who would still want to proceed will need to back up the TA partition, which is responsible for Sony’s DRM keys, XperiaBlog reports.
Thus, provided that the camera no longer works after the unlocking, they will be able to restore the partition, though this would re-lock the bootloader.
Sony has already posted a warning message on its unlocking website, informing users on the issue: “At the moment, unlocking the Xperia Z1 boot loader will stop the camera functionality.” Hopefully, it won’t be too long before the problem is resolved.
