[Q] No mobile data - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Xda-Users:
I've been lurking this forum since I got my X8, like one year ago. I had a lot of problems with the stock kernel and ROM and they all got away when I flashed the excellent nAa kernel with the marvellous MiniCM7 rom. Anyway a few weeks ago I decided to try the S2Ext method in order to gain memory. I installed the app and prepared my sd card with variable results as I think it had a racing condition in which if the phone was booted and the sd card wasn't ready it made the cellphone crash in the worst of ways, though a reboot helped to get it straight.
Well I got fed up and decided to flash a fresh copy of MiniCM7 again so I could use the phone with no problems. Everything went OK except that the mobile connection now doesn't work. For convenience I will bullet point what I have done to this day in order to fix this:
I tried to repair the phone via PCC but it says it cannot find any software for my phone (Also it shows the phone as a X10 for some reason)
I tried to use SEUS but it crashed on start for no reason (My current pc is Windows 8 x64)
I reseted the partition in my SD card erasing the ext4 part
Got around and flashed a stock kernel I found with some ROM that could use it but that still didn't work
I tried my sim card over other cellphone and 3G worked
Of course I configured my APN accordingly and Mobile data is enabled
Also I ran a
Code:
logcat -b radio
and it showed a Wrong Network Type:0
Any hints? Every bit of information might help to solve this mystery.
Thanks!

Full wipe the rom or reinstall if you can, & i got to say mobile data problems is not related to kernel (I'm taking about nAa & alf kernels,they're the most bugless kernel for x8)
Do not repair with seus or pcc, they'll lock your bootloader again
& remember to reduce paragraphs in the next thread so others will answer you

[Q] Impossible to access mobile data and sd card

Hi,
I just installed the rom Wolf_Xperia_TW_009.zip wolfbreak of last night and since I'm a beginner I thought everything worked fine except that my rom do not stop séteindre and relighting. I do not know what it is owed. I tried different manipulation but without results.
my baseband is 54 and I had the 2.2 rom made ​​by froyo zdzihu and the worst is that I can not even started on the xrecovery and my usb port does not work well.
my phone restarts (rebbot) and more frequently.
Thank you in advance for your answer

Phone doesn't read my SIM

I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated
Try it on stock to be sure about it.
After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?
Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

No sim detected - xperia z 6603

Hello everyone, I know this has been asked several thousand time before and trust me I have gone through almost every single post available but couldn't solve my problem. I have tried every single trick I could think of but to no benefit.
I was using Xperia Z - 6603 (Purchased from India) and was running "12.1-20150501-UNOFFICIAL-YUGA" (from this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/rom-cm12-updated-jan-30-t3016952).
Everything was running fine until I decided to wipe my internal storage via TWRP (twrp-2.8.5.0-yuga.img), by going to WIPE>ADVANCED WIPE>Checked "INTERNAL STORAGE".
Since then my Mobile phone is not reading any Sim Card, no matter what ever I try.
I just have a TWRP backup of Custom Rom "12.1-20150501-UNOFFICIAL-YUGA" but even restoring that didn't help me at all.
Now I have tried flashing back to various stock and custom roms through Flashtool 0.9.18.6 but no avail. Still mobile phone is not reading Sim Card.

Phone won't connect to network and custom roms don't work

So I think I messed up my phone.
TL;DR: Messed up phone by removing stock rom, Costume roms don't work except 1 and in that one IMEI is set to zero and I can't connect to any network.
several month ago I had the stock xperia z Lolipop and made a decision to root the device. I unlocked it's bootloader and did the rooting... all as planned. about a month later my phone started acting funny, so I decided to reset it, the problem is I had installed TWRP and as noob in using the app, I accidentally wiped the entire device. I thought I had bricked the thing so I left it aside.
I had been using an older phone as replacement until last week when I thought I'd give the Z another chance. I looked around this forum, found a bunch of stuff, tried a lot of roms and after failing to make 4 roms work (Cyan nougat, Cyan MM, Costumised sony 5.1.1 and a stock one I found here) I managed to find a fifth one that worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/android-5-1-available-yuga-pabx-t3054304). I always followed the tutorials but I may have done a lot of mistakes... for example I'm not even sure what kernel is and if I needed to change it for any of the roms or if I needed to like wipe the entire system or not before flashing ( I did all the time), and what about rooting? does the system require a previous rooted rom to install new ones? don't we simply format the entire device?.
Now the major problem of the working rom is that my phone can't connect to it's simcard network, the simcard is working since it requires pincode on start and the phone can find the networks by manual search, it simply gives an error "network XXX unavailable". I looked around and saw that my IMEI is set to all zero's in the phone about section. this could be unrelated to the network problem... but I don't have much expertise in these stuff.
So right now it seems like I can't install any other roms (they won't even start up, most get stuck during boot) and the only one I can install doesn't give me network access.
Any Ideas?

[GER/ENG] "Revive" I9000 with dead EMMC beyond Android 2.3.7?

Hey guys,
dunno if I have to write english or german here, feel welcomed to answer in your prefered languages. The more opinions, the better!
I used rooted XXJVT (DBT) for a very long time but by time it went laggy AF.
Now I decided not only to reset the phone to make it work lagfree again but also flash Android KitKat via CWM.
The biggest problem I encountered: my eMMC died a few years ago, so I was forced to run the phone via microSD (had to scratch the chip off the mainboard to make it accept the microSD when flashing) and exchange the vold.fstab to make the phone use the microSD as internal storage. That way, it worked again. Until now.
Since the WhatsApp Services don't let any 2.3.7 and older OS verify their Account anymore (but those who were already verified can keep WhatsApp until Feb 2020) + I can't flash Custom Roms via CWM ("Waiting for SD-Card to mount" counting down from 20 to 0, then restart and same screen again, looped) probably because of the dead (no more existent) eMMC Chip, i guess the only way to make my phone work WITH WhatsApp again would be find a rom above 2.3.7 that I can flash via Odin..
Otherwise I guess I can shred my phone because it is restricted to SMS/Calls from now Q_Q
Now I need your help: Is there any possibility that I don't know yet? Any ROM out there that I could flash via Odin, dodging the "flash via CWM" way that doesn't seem to work for me (atleast, since my eMMC is dead, I don't know how could make it go past this "Waiting for SD-Card to mount" ****?
Greetings,
A desperate Android User^^
