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 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.

Motorola To Enable Unlockable Bootloader Via Software Upgrade?

That would be nice,

http://phandroid.com/2011/06/13/motorola-looking-to-change-their-bootloader-policy-and-image-in-the-process/

I will believe is when I see it..... Also remember that the carrier still gets the final say so just because Motorola release the bootloader does not mean the carrier will authorize it and not to forget that a unlock bootloader does not make loading unauthorized software on your device ok because it still will be a TOS volation...
Not a Win, Win.....

Unlock bootloader service is down?

Greetings,
I'm trying to unlock bootloader in my Xperia Z and it seems that service http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/ is down...
I've tried multiple emails - no luck .. no activation email in spam\inpox etc.
please advise on how to unilock boot loader
Ivan

I checked it just now and all seems to work fine.
Give it a shot and keep us updated
Also I'd like to add that almost 50% of the custom roms out there are based on stock kernel, which means you could install them without unlocking the bootloader. So please check with the rom you want to install again.
Unlocking bootloder is an irreversible process, X-Loud and Bravia Engine would stop working post unlocking the bootloader.

Why it is taking too much time to kill the process?

Hi All,
Today,one of my user ran the calc script and the process is taking too much time, then i kill the process. I am wondering about one thing here even it is taking too long to kill the process, generally it will not take more than 2 sec. I did this through EAS.
After that I ran Maxl statement
alter system kill request 552599515;
there is no use at all.
Please reply if you have any solutions to kill this process.
Thanks in advance.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
1. Firstly, How much time does your calculation scripts normally run.
2. While it was running, you can go to the logs and monitor where exactly the script is taking time .
3. Sometimes, it does take time to cancel a transaction ( as it might be in between).
4. Maxl is always good to kill ,as you did . It should be succesful . Check the logs what it says ,and also the "sessions" which might say "terminating" and finish it off.
5. If nothing works ,and in the worst case scenarion , if its taking time without doing anything. Then log off all the users and stop the databas and start it .
6. Do log off all the users, so that you dont corrupt any filter related sec file.
Be very careful , if its production ( and I assume you have latest backups)

My application while running in playback throws fault error report and it needs to be closed programmatically by killing the process.

My application throws some fault error report and pops up a screen needing user response.
I would like to kill that process once it is thrown. Is there a way I can do it programmatically
this issue happens in the middle of start() and close() method

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

Killing a process

hi friends
what is the necessity to kill a process that running in the background .
and what is the procedure to kill a job/process.
what is the difference btn killing a job and process.
thanks in advance
venkat

hi venkat,
First identify what job you want to Kill.....
you can direclty stop a running job in SM37. Sometimes it doesnt stop even if u stop here. Then u need to knw which app server its running and the number of the work process. Note this and goto SM51 and select your app server and work process and stop it without a core. this will kill the job for sure.. even if not( sometimes it doesnt reflects in sm37), check the status of the job, it will definitely make the job stop.
Usually SM37 is restricted to BASIS ... you can use SM38 instead - choose your app server and identify your job. The cilck on the job and press the stop button at the top and then the job will get cancelled..

Hi,
you said job is in release state. follow the below steps:
1. Select the job in sm37.
2. Go to change mode.
3. change the priority to A.
4. Click on schedule and schedule it immediately.
your deletion job will start immediately and after deletion you can start your activation again.
Let me know if it helps?

Inserting a Recordset Kills PHP Processing

In Dreamweaver 11.0 (CS5) on both MAMP and a live server, I am experiencing a puzzling issue.
Inserting any Recordset kills PHP processing. For example, this document works perfectly:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body><?php echo “Hello, world.” ?><?php phpinfo() ?></body>
</html>
As soon as I add any Recordset to the page, those two php statements simply stop working. In fact, the Recordsets return no data on the page. After I delete the Recordset code that Dreamweaver had inserted, and restore the page, php statements magically begin working again!
(During the creation of the Recordset, the Test button confirms all columns are present, and the two rows are fine.)
Any clue to what’s going on?

I've solved part of this issue. It turns out that Dreamweaver copies to the testing server all new files and changes to files EXCEPT... the Connections folder it creates and that folder's contents. The user needs to do that manually.
However, after I copied the Connections folder, Dreamweaver refuses to Insert any Data Object.
For example, it won't insert a Repeat Region or a Dynamic Table. When I select
Insert->Data Objects->Dynamic Data->Dynamic Table
Dreamweaver returns this error:
While executing insertObject in DynamicTable.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.
Ditto the Repeat Region.

Hi,
I am working on a system for automatically testing student submissions on an introductory course about unix scripting. The program works by running a test script on a student submission, using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). The Process object has a limited life span of 10 seconds (by default), and if it is still running after these 10 seconds, Process.destroy() is used to kill it.
A bug exists when one of the submissions being tested times out. When the destroy() method is used it leaves a child process running... since students can also run
some tests from the file submission client, the number of hanging processes soon adds up as they test and test again to get it right before submission. Eventually this results in too many processes and the server keels over.
Does anyone have any ideas on killing these hanging processes?

Not much help, but I think this is a known bug ...

Can't kill hung process in Leopard

I am having very annoying issue with Leopard. Time to time some applications get stuck and I can't kill them using "force quit" or command line "kill -9". Most of the times when this happens, I can't log out and start new applications. I cannot even restart the computer cleanly as it cannot log me out cleanly (BTW, is there a force log out or force restart?) Once this happens everything goes downhill and eventually I have to do hard reboot by pressing power off key in the back. That creates another problem. I have a USB external disk that I use as time machine backup. After I do hard reboot and machine boot up, finder thinks that index on the external disk is not up to date and starts indexing it from scratch and takes 2-3 hours. Also, when it starts building index, it spends good 5 minutes or so trying to estimate the index building time. During that time, I cannot search anything on the machine.
I called Apple support twice. First they asked me to do "archive and install". I did that but problems still continued. After that they said do "disk check" and "disk permissions check". "Disk check" didn't show any problem. "Disk permissions check" found many files with permissions problem and they were all fixed. Even after that the problem continues.
I have 4 users on the machine. I am the administrator. Others are limited accounts. I have noticed hang problem with all accounts. On my account it occurs with many processes like Safari, imovie, iPhoto, and even finder. On other accounts I have seen it mostly with Safari. I saw the problem with Safari on other accounts even with Tiger. On other accounts though I am able to kill the application using "force quit" but not on my account.
I think the root cause of all of these is Leopard's inability to force-kill a process. I have a hunch that this happens (not able to kill app in my account) with processes that deal with devices. For example, Iphoto deals with external memory card, Imovie deals with external digital camcorders and so on.
I have an open case with Apple support. I want to see if others are running into same issue.

I was having these very same issues.
I wiped the drive with zeroes and tried to reinstall Leopard from scratch. Install failed. Checked the install DVD, it passed its own test. Verified the hard drive, fine.
Reinstalled Tiger. Everything fine. Tried to upgrade to Leopard, install DVD was again failng.
I did some research.
*It turns out that Leopard on PPC Macs will freak out on many types of third party RAM.*
I removed the aftermarket stick of RAM and Leopard installed just fine and ran fine. No more problems. I put the RAM back in, problems returned.
There you have it. Tiger was fine with the memory, Leopard isn't. And this is for some reason a PPC-specific issue.
Search for:
"The installer could not validate the contents of the ‘base system’ package. Contact software manufacturer for assistance."
Here are two to get you started:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=374917&page=2
http://www.mobrec.com/2007/10/27/leopard-is-damage-if-you-are-on-powerpc-do-not- install/
The key is in realizing that both sets of symptoms occur for some people because they're 'lucky' to get Leopard installed in the first place. If you wipe and install, you get to witness all the behaviors under a controlled experiment (memory in vs out).

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/

How to kill a process chain in an intermediate step...?

How to kill a process chain in an intermediate step...?
I have tried doing it using SM37... but still the chain is hanging....
Please help ASAP...
Regards
Sneha

Hi Sneha,
If its a loading process then:
1. Go to monitor & make its overall status RED.
2. Go to the target & make the QM status RED.
3. Since its loading data to BW, its R/3 will be active even if you make any status RED in BW.
4. Cancel its corresponding R/3 job. U'll get its R/3 job from monitor>Header tab>Job name. Copy that job name& go to R/3 side>sm37>in Job name add B*followed by the job name copied & then delete the Active job.
Once this is done then your loading process will anyhow stop further stopping the Process chian.
If your job is other than loading, then simply go to that process chain & remove the link between the active process nad the next process after cancelling the active job (as mentioned in the various replies for your question).
Give some time to update the staus of that cancelled job in Db, because even if you cancel any active job, it requires some time to refresh it updated status. Once it is cancelled you can rejoin the link between the proceses and reactivate & schedule your process chain.
hope it'll help
