I installed cm10.1.3 and every time i go into cwm recovery, there is warning: No file_contexts on the bottom. what does it mean?

this is on v6.0.3.6. Never had that warning when it was 6.0.2.9.

anything to worry about?

Hey everyone,

Is there anyone on this forum that does Z1 unlocks.. my phone is on 02 and i would like to unlock the boot loader. i don't mind donating for anyone who can help me ;)

screenshot of current phone specs below:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, you can unlock it.

All you have to do is read the instructions in the dev section.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
could you please provide a link to the forum post regarding z1 boot loader unlocker? i cant seem to find it.

also i just updated to the latest version using SPC and Kingo Andrioid root app fails to install and root my phone? can you please advice?

i think i cant root and unlock on this version?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
yes of course i tried, i am not very technical minded when it comes to phone development, i just need someone to point me in the right place, or to help me do it.. i am more then willing to donate money for your time.

i have Skype which i can chat on.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
So what term did you Google? Because I seriously doubt you've tried. Anyway, if you do decide to unlock the bootloader, promise me you'll backup your TA partition first. Don't even Google for that, just browse the XDA Z1 forums. I promise you you'll find the links you're after.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

As for wanting to pay someone to do it for you, please read this

i find a lot of the information on the forum to be confusing and spend hours and hours trying to get my head around something which would take someone 10 secs to do if they a proper developer.. i was asking for help, if you didn't want to provide any then don't comment on the page.. i don't need your sarcastic links.. i don't have time for it. i want to learn and understand how to do this for my self, but i am better with some live chat help instead of someone just doing it for me.. i was more then willing to donate for the use of your time.. but you insist i just want the goodies out the bag without knowing where the bag came from.. please learn to be more respectful and give help if you have time.

my bootloader cant be unlocked..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I just provided you with help.

Look at the link I gave you, its not sarcastic, it takes you to the site where you unlock your bootloader.

I also spend a lot of my time on here helping people, and many people have helped me. Apologies if you think I was time wasting, I am just trying to get you going on the right track without leading you by the nose. Trust you learn more by doing it yourself, finding out by yourself and asking for guidance is the best way.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
its not just as simple as googling, i asked if my bootloader can be unlocked and if i can take root control of the latest firmware? it would take a developer less then 10 secs to say or no to this question. if you look up at the last post i attached a screenshot showing my phone doesn't have a unlocked boot loader.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
OK no bootloader unlock for you then.

Also, the firware you are on cannot be rooted.

You need to flash a .534 FW (Find them in the mega collection int he general section) and flash it on flashtool from here. Then you can root it using kingo.

If you want to upgrade to the latest FW then you will need to install dual recovery (Look in the original dev section) then flash a pre rooted rom from the dev section.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
Thanks, i guess my phone will never allow an unlocked bootloader.. :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Not by any means we currently have.

However, there is work on a kexec which can side load custom kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
thanks, i might not bother with unlocking my phone it voids warrently, might as well wait a year before doing it :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
yes, but you can do all the things I said above without unlocking it and without losing your warranty
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Our point is that asking such questions is just cluttering up the forums and wasting peoples time since the answers are easily available by browsing the stickied topics (or searching for that matter). If we just answer all of your "10 second questions", then we set a standard where it's OK to post a topic like this, and as a result we will likely end up with hundreds of topics asking the same simple question as this one. It's just not an appealing idea and so we meet questions like this with a bit of resistance in order to set a more maintainable and educationally conductive standard.

Do you understand my point?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
i understand your point, no need to get arsey about it. i have contacted 02 they are going to unlock my carrier, they said after doing this i can then go onto the sony website and unlock my bootloader :)

Paul
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Please let us know if that works, but I don't think it will. Sim unlock and bootloader unlock are different
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
But actually, the most common reason for locking bootloaders is to stop the customer from unlocking the bootloader, finding a hack to unlock the baseband and switching carriers, it makes sense that with a carrier locked device the bootloader isn't unlockable.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, but you can sim unlock and still have the bootloader unlockable, and vice versa.

Unlocking one does not unlock the other
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Of course not, but it could be that the software which determines whether you can unlock the bootloader has a sort of blacklist with which carrier locks trigger bootloader unlock ineligibility, and that TMobile is one of those, so that when TMobile allows their customers to unlock the baseband, then the bootloader also becomes unlockable. It makes sense, I mean the only reason the bootloader unlock prevention is there is because the carrier asked for it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
This has been discussed at length before in other xperia device forums and I can unsure you that unlocking the carrier (Sim unlocking) is very unlikely to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. It has not resulted in this in the past and I doubt it will happen on the Z1. (But here is hoping anyway.)

PS, If you want a contract phone with an unlockable bootloader go for Vodafone UK

I have had 3 xperia T's and 1 Z1, all with unloackable bootloaders.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
i spoken to 02 though the help line, they said after getting my phone carrier unlocked i should be able to unlock the bootloader useing the same code they will provide me within the next 7 days..

i also dont think this will fully unlock my phone as its built into the hardware? will keep you guys updated when i get my unlock code.

Paul
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That wont work.

Its a different thing.

you can only unlockthe bootloader with a code from sony and you have to use fastboot to do it,

They are mistaken and/or lying to you. (It wont be the first time that a customer service call person does not know what a bootloader is)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
i went into 02 today they said i need to do it though the sony website, but my bootloader says it cant be unlocked. when phoneing that *#* number
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Yeah than it appears our friend [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] was right :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
i think so too, i will just have to wait until people on the forum start to figure out how to unlock the device using other methods.

i am really pissed off at 02 my last phone from them was fully unlocked. but i bought the handset.. this time i got a contact plan and they make the device locked its so annoying.. i heard people are having problems with the camera when unlocking the bootloader..

as far as rooting goes i take it you cant root version 14.1.g.2.257 yet?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
You can, but you have to downgrade, root and then upgrade to a pre-rooted version.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoShaft:
i think i might just wait until they make this version rootable, the camera on the Z1 now is awesome now :) on the last version the camera was really grainy! and didnt even compare to iphone 4s..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Flashing an OTA will get rid of root but leave the modified staus, that was why triangle away was created. To get rid of modified status you can reflash the rom through ODIN. If you want to re-root you can, if you haven't tripped the knox warranty void then use de la vega method...

corsica13xda, did you flash a pre-rooted stock rom? If yes then of course it will trigger the warranty void as it is not a stock SAMSUNG rom, it has been modified and it isn't an official rom anymore...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Yes, BUT find your Stock rom on Sammobile then flash that... If you don't have root and a custom recovery there may be issues flashing a different CSC code that will probably void your warranty to fix...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr@shant:
Hi Folks,

I have been a user for HTC Camera as of now and now have been using S3 for about a year now.

The query I had to you guys is

1. When we take a click from HTC mobile camera and we see that pic in the gallery it's always full screen, covering the full dim of the phone. However when we do that with the Samsung Phone its always trimmed.

2. But, when we take the pic while recording a video, if we take the pic its always full screen and not trimmed. No matter what mode we take the pic.

Is this possible for us to have the same features on Samsung phones. I personally feel full screen is what we should view it and not trimmed version from either side.

Have attached few pic. First shows the pic while recording a video other one in the Landscape Mode but it's trimmed on the sides. Possible for us to have the same view as having from the Video.

How can I be sure to had cleand up all my stuff without ODIN reflash and/or modified recopvery? I don't want to trigger the knox.... :P
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: wiping phone

First be sure to remove your external sdcard if you have one in the phone.

Then turn the phone on normally (no odin, no recovery and no reflash).

Then go into settings>accounts>backup and reset> then click on the very

last entry on the accounts screen which says: "Factory data reset".

Doing that will wipe EVERYTHING including email accounts/emails

phone numbers, user flashed or installed apps, games and so on.

It will also wipe any pictures, videos, documents, music files and mms.

After doing the above you can be assured that the phone is in stock

condition and has nothing personal in it.

Have a great day!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markino:
Thanks!

On my last phone I've made it but I've found that on internal sdcard there was still some app data and folder and when I've installed some app the settings was still there..... strange!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okty2k:
you will have the same with the method above.

not 100% if stock recovery has this, but besides the factory reset you have to format the internal data. It works from custom recoveries for sure.

as an alternative, you can manually delete all the folders in internal card and do the factory reset again.

of course, the external card you either remove or format aswell (from phone menu or recovery).
