Unlocking Bootloader for Xperia Z2

Hi all ,
I have a question regarding the unlocking boatloader effects on the Xperia Z2 devices and i hope that i can find the answer in your forums :
1- Does unlocking the bootloader void my phone waranty ?
2- does unlocking boatloader will stop functionalities like X-Reality and Boinz Processing engine as were in the Xperia Z1 ?
3- what other functionality i will lose if i unlocked my bootloader device ?
Thank you for your help and support , i need this info in order to share it with the XDA Xperia Z2 forums as they still confused regarding the above questions .

I do not have a list of the specific applications, however all of the proprietary ones you have mentioned will cease to work, and you will not be able to sue the standard PC Companion or Update Service to update/repair your handset.
There are a number of other repurcussions however they are outlined in details here:

Xperia Ray bootloader unlock problem

I am having problems unlocking my bootloader. My Ray tells me "Bootloader Unlock Status Allowed: Yes", but I have encountered some weird problems. When I go through the official Sony method, the command prompt tells me it did not unlock it because it was already unlocked. But when I connect to Emma, it is grayed out and says it's locked. PC Companion still works. When I use Xperia Flashtool to unlock the bootloader I get a message that says it can't be officially unlocked. I couldn't figure out what was up with it so I tried to proceed with installing a ROM, flashed the boot.img with Xperia Flashtool, rebooted and hit volume down over and over to enter CWM, but it doesn't work, just sits at the Sony logo. Does anyone have any ideas or advice on how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any help.

Xperia Z2 Unlock Bootloader Allowed No

I'll just get right to it. When I enter the service menu, it tells me that: unlock bootloader allowed: no. I cannot unlock my bootloader. Now, nobody seems to know of any solutions to this problem. I know it is the carriers that are at fault, but I just want to know if it is *possible* to unlock my bootloader. If not, I will have to return this device for one that is more developer friendly. I love the phone, but can't use it without an unlocked bootloader. Sony needs to fix this.

I sent this email to Sony developer world a few weeks ago, and they haven't responded.
Hi there,
I'll cut right to the chase. When I enter the service menu on my Xperia Z2, I discover they rooting status is set to "bootloader unlock allowed: no". This means that I am blocked by Sony from unlocking the bootloader on the phone that *I* own.
Don't tell me it's the carrier's fault (Bell BTW), because I know that you have the tools to change this setting, no matter how complicated the process may be.
I know that this has been done before, as evidenced by this Talk Sony thread a while ago:http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/Bootloader-unlock-allowed-No-SONY-solve-it-please/...
Why is this possible to do for one carrier but not another? This is ridiculous. Why shouldn't I be able to do whatever I want with the device that I paid for? The phone is SIM unlocked and everything.
When Sony no longer supports firmware updates for my Z2, then what can I do? I will be unable to flash any custom roms and will be stuck on whatever version of Android you decide to leave me with! This is a huge security risk number 1, and number 2 it's just a huge inconvenience.

How to overclock Xperia Ray?

Lets get directly to the point -
Mobile - Xperia Ray (ST8I)(Urushi)
Build Number - 4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel version - will provide only if asked
root access - yes (the phone has already been rooted by flashing .42 kernels, using zergrush method and then flashing .62 kernels)
Bootloader - Unlocked using Flashtool
I want to ask that-
1) How can I Overclock my mobile? I have already tried setCPU and CPU master but of no use.
2) Is it recommended to overclock it as it is a compact phone and gets pretty hot while charging! If yes then to what limits?
3) An of-topic question - Whenever i remove my memory card, I loose all the icons of apps installed on my memory card. Is it normal? Anyway to prevent it?

You will have to search at XDA

http://www.google.com/cse?q=overclock+ray&sa=Search&cx=partner-pub-2900107662879704%3Afs7umqefhnf&ie...
3) IT'S normal... no way to prevent

Camera quality get worst after unlock bootloader

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/

Unlocked bootloader kills BIONZ processing?

Theres any info/confirmation from Sony thats Z1 really loses BIONZ processing when unlock bootloader???
I compared several photos taken before and after unlocking the bootloader and theres no quality loss or gain of any kind.
And theres still the warning on Sony's website that only ROMs below .290 who lose camera "functionality";
"Known issues
To unlock the Xperia ™ Z1 boot loader, you must make sure your device is on software build 14.2.A.0.290 (Android 4.3) or later. Unlocking the boot loader on earlier software versions will stop the camera functionality.
Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems When They are accepting upgrades over the air (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum. "
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Does anyone have more information?
Cheers!

There is an issue with firmware below that stated in which the camera will not work at all but as stated in 4.3 this was fixed - The OTA with unlocked bootloader won't work as modified software will be detected and could brick your device - XDA has also made this quite clear

Xperia Ray update to 4.0 ? Still not happened

I've just got hold of an Xperia Ray as they are an ideal size phone / not massive.
I'm trying to find out if the UK has had the update to Android 4 ICS yet - i'm currently running 2.3.4, and the PC companion says that there is no update available. - I'm currently on O2, but unlocked to all networks if that makes any difference?
Thanks for any help

Yes, the situation remains the same unfortunately as it is dictated by the network that your handset was made for.
