I smell a new trend of installing incorrect phone ROMs.
This is what...the 3rd or 4th person this has happened to? It's a shame it really is and accidents happen. I hope people take more precaution in the future. :/

Does anyone know what's the cause of this? I built Omni yesterday and it was fine, but I tried to flash another one I built today and that's what it tells me followed by the phone getting stuck during the bootanimation when the logo turns fully green. And, the thing is that I checked the zip and there is a file_contexts.

The file_context warning has nothing to do with you not being able to build. See if you can get a logcat to see what is going on.

No no, you misunderstood. I can build fine, but I can't boot.
I saw the same warning, with no apparent ill effect, on these I just flashed:
omni-4.3.0-20131020-i9300-HOMEMADE
omni-4.3.0-20131022-m7ul-HOMEMADE
HTC One and GS3 seem to be running fine.

Sorry that was a typo, I ment boot (auto correct is a pain sometimes).
But getting a logcat (if you get that far in the boot process) can help in diagnosing the problem.

Doesn't let me logcat. I'm gonna download Rebellos's Omni and see if that boots, probably should have done that first thing now that I think about it..

[NO file_context ] problem with OmniRom 4.4.2
my phone is N7000 .. and i downloaded omnirom 4.4.2 from the site and paste it into the sd ,, when i make a flash to this rom .. a message appear to me
WARNING : no file_context
plz help me :-/
I think its the issue of that particular nightly build. I too had the same experience. So I flashed with another nightly and it works fine. After this error I changed to stock ROM but the flash counter didn't reset to 0. I tried to flash 3 times and now the counter is showing as 3. Can anyone advise me to reset it

I just a new G2 yesterday, and was trying to find some way to transfer over my saved wifi passwords from my old phone to my new phone.
I found an app on the play store which looked to have good reviews, and it worked backing up my passwords from my old phone, but attempting to restore them on my G2 seems to have broken something.
Wifi does not turn on at all now. It is stuck in "Turning Wi- Fi on"
I reluctantly did a factory reset (twice) and this did not solve the problem. My next step is to flash the stock firmware, but my browser estimates 5 hours until it finishes downloading... (100-200 KB/s)
Any idea of what I can try in the meantime? Thank you for your help.
What carrier are you on? I'm no expert, but maybe you can find the radios and flash them instead. The download would be much smaller I think.
Also, your Google account should back up your Wi-Fi information as well. When I got my G2 and logged in, all of the hot spots I've connected to in the past were already saved.

I just ordered a G2 and I was wondering, if it comes with an android version higher than 4.2.2, maybe kitkat 4.4.2, can I still root, install recoveries and roms on it???
This is very important to me, if I can't do that it would be just a freaking huge loss.
Thanks in advance.
Depends on what model number where you purchased it from and and also what country there's a good chance it will have 4.4.2 but no way to know until you get it

Think of it like this most new devices will come with the lasted firmware.. All you need for g2 is model and think of latest firmware and start researching
Thanks

for g2 on 4.4.2 kitkat...
root.....towel root ... done, then install supersu from play store if you want control over root
custom recovery... autorec... done
Thanks all. The phone should be here in 5-9 days... if they don't f*** up. Hahaha.
I will probably post a follow-up in this thread again when that happens
Can't wait to be another lucky user of this phone!!

There's this lollipop rom from the international section that looks amazing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-5-0-lollipop-tmt-1-0-t2982363
Someone with our N900A variant said you have to be on 4.4.4 to get the rom to work. I would like to know if the rom will work and I haven't updated to 4.4.4 yet. I'm debating on weather I should update or not. Can someone try it out and report back with info?
Thanks!
I tried. It is AROMA installer. Can't load. Asked developer if he could make a non aroma based version.

There's a way to unaroma a rom. I've done it on the Tmo Hyperdrive rom. Try searching it up.

Have you got the lollipop rom working?
@chamelio
I just tried it and it did not work for me... maybe it was just some thing I missed while getting rid of the aroma. I got to the point where it showed the GN3 boot screen with the unlocked padlock but it never went any further, just kept rebooting. Ill try again tomorrow

I think we will have to have a kernel and maybe also bootloader to handle the new file system they or not normal apk, they or unpacked folders with related apk and arm folders

I also was able to remove aroma and try to flash this rom with the NC2 kernel as well as the NJ5 kernel. With the NC2 kernel i reach a blank screen and with NJ5 i reach the samsung galaxy note 3 custom screen before it reboots into device recovery. This rom does use a different kernel that we cant flash thanks to a locked bootloader, so in my opinion at this point in time i dont think its possible for our devices to run this rom. We probably won't have lollipop until there is a workaround for the bootloader or we get an official OTA so we then have the proper kernel to run lollipop.
