Hey guys,
is it possible to remove the "Swipe up or down to unlock." hint on the lockscreen? I thought it will disappear after 3 unlocks..
Thanks for your help
This can be only be done if you are rooted. In the system should be the icon with that hint which can be deleted so it will not appear on the bar. But even if you are rooted you have to mod the lockscreen and find the right way to do it and it's not that easy but can be done.
It's pretty easy with root.. But i don't want to root my phone at the moment because of the warranty..

You answered on your question so you should know the root is needed too.

If you root your phone you will not lose your warrany. You will lose your warranty if you will Unlock Bootloader only.
UB is needed if you want flash custom roms with custom kernels. You can root your phone with Locked Bootloader.

I didn't answer my question. On my Xperia U it disappears after 3 unlocks so i thought that could be done somehow..

I know that but i didn't know that you can root the Z1 with LB. I only saw threads about rooting by flashing a rooted kernel and reflash the stock kernel.

I've find a Xposed module "GEM Xperia Xposed". With this module I'm able to disable the hint for unlocking and also disable the Arrows. Now I have a clean lockscreen.
What I only miss: to show the wallpaper from the launcher. I've a live wallpaper and the old lockscreen from ICS did show it. I've also try to remove the XperiaLockScreen.apk. But it shows only the default AOSP lockscreen, but not the live wallpaper.

Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

Please do some research first.

That's what i was afraid of. So is there a chance to root it some how?

i'll think about your suggestion :good:
After I rooted the phone I deleted some blotware. Now I am having problems with the phone freezing. Is there a way to recover the delete apps?
You can always restore your backup. Unless you didn't create a backup before you went and deleted everything. That's a noob thing not to do.
Your best bet is to follow the "return to stock" tutorial. It's in the sticky threads.
Or wait for the next update to roll out.

I was under the impression from what i read that a custom rom would set the knox sensor!

you will have to try it and see but it involves more than flashing with bootstrap to use it

Ok, I found a link to the apk. Have you ever had a soft brick from this? Also, how would I fix a soft brick if I get one? (i do NOT have an unlocked bootloader)

Any answer to your question would be pure speculation... Depends what you do to brick it...
But being locked with only the stock recovery your options are very, very limited. The stock recovery practically can only flash the stock firmware. If that does not work you're out of luck.
With a custom recovery installed (which requires you to unlock the bootloader), you have many more options and in most cases it's easy to recover from a soft brick.
I would feel totally helpless without a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader. You do have to do a lot of reading though. Total control of your tablet also means you can totally brick it if you do the wrong thing.
But Xposed and the modules you run with it rarely get you into that kind of trouble.
Still....
Hello XDA Users
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any way to unlock the bootloader when the Service Menu status is 'No'... I contacted sony support and they said to ask around here
So yeah
Thanks

Is your phone rooted? If not, try Towelroot and report back if that status changed (Warranty will be voided)

Simple answer. Until now, no way to root without unlocking the bootloader.

It's been explained in some posts by our fellow devs in some of the threads - the answer is: no root without UB, because the kernel has a so-called 'verity check', which detects any system modifications and panics if it finds one, and for this to be overcome, there are already some kernels which bypass this check, but as you know, you can't install a custom kernel without unlocking the bootloader.
However, I saw some hopeful post about M, something about an exploit being available for half-root, enough to backup your TA and unlock bootloader with the option of re-locking it afterwards without losing your DRM keys.
