OK
Find a ftf file for your phone (Probably one in the all in one thread) and flash it using flashtool. Just make sure your exclude everything except baseband. That will restore your phone radio settings

yes. Find flashtool in the first post in the dev section
Flash the ftf using flasdhtool. You will be given options to exclude certain bit of the file. Tick everything except baseband so that only the radio bit of the file is flashed
And welcome back from the dark side...iOS is like swearing here...

HIiii ..
i had troubles downloading the FTF file, so after some googling i decided to make my own 1.
1- i downloaded SUS
2- updated my phone
3- got the 3 update files from the file db
4- downloaded the latest Flashtool 0.9.10.1 from th official page
here comes a problem ..
there's no toolbox in this flash tool, so i wasn't able to decrype the files, i also couldn't fine LT29i in th devices list.
after some googling i downloaded th 0.9.10.2beta6 from this forum, which has a toolbox
1- i ran flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6
2- decrypt th files
3- created the FTF file
4- flash-mode
5- connected my xperia while pressing th volume key
6- phone connected in flash mode .... stuck here
7- nothing happened after that.
so i tried to flash it with 0.9.10.1
i just didn't have the option to exclude baseband from the list.
so :
1- i went back to 0.9.10.2beta6
2- i created a FTF file with baseband excluded from the hole file
3- i put the file in the 0.9.10.1 folders
4- i ran flashtool 0.9.10.1
5- flashed the phone
6- turned my phone on
8- every thing is OK BUT i still dnt have 3G coverage
can u help ?
Have you tried just a repair via PC Companion? Flashtool seems a bit long winded when PCC should do all this for you.

The problem is the file that pccompanion is downloading for you. It has the wrong baseband. That's why you need to get another ftf file for your phone.
If you create a ftf file from your pccompanion (Or SUES) download you will still be using the wrong files.
What was the issue with downloading the ftf file?

Find them in post 3 of the all in one thread.
For flashtool, find it in the first post of the first thread in the dev section.
If PCC is downloading the wrong basband shouldnt it have killed the 3G on everyones TX who has updated to JB using PCC?
IMHO I feel that something went wrong at the time of update specific to this user and rerunning the process would fix it.

No, he already tried that.
It seems it is downloading a wrong ftf file because of a corrupt build.prop or some changes made prior to using pccompanion.
If you change the device name to something else it prompts pccompanion to download another set of files.
That's how people manage to download multiple ftf files for different regions and different operators. They change their build.prop.
This is the first step in a problem solving process and if it doesn't work it could be something else, but he has stated he has already tried repairing using pccompanion

Fair enough. I cant see the post were they stated they had already tried that. I was under the impression the build.prop hadnt been touched as they stated root wasnt available to them until after the upgrade. Also I would assume TX is TX it is not like T/TL if the wrong update was pushed via PCC the deivce would not boot at all.
Yeah, I just looked back through the thread, I may be getting mixed up, I have so many people I am currently helping on this forum and in PM....
@OP
Did you try to repair the phone using PCCompanion or SUES yet?

why are you excluding baseband...the whole point is to exclude everything EXCEPT baseband!
the baseband controls the radio.
try your FTF file again in flashtool and tick all exclude options EXCEPT baseband
let me know how it goes
Just out of curiosity have you tried: Settings -> Xperia -> Internet Settings?

I updated my to 4.4.4 via Sony PC Companion and then rooted it with easyrootool and installed the dualrecovery. Everything seemed fine but after the first reboot i noticed that the there is no cellular connectivity. Wifi and Bluetooth work and the sim is recognized but the the phone says'inavlid card'. The phone sim unlocked. Not only that but my phone doesn't want to take pictures anymore. The camera doesn't focus and when I press the camera button it does nothing. Also when I connect the phone to the computer and try to copy somthing the windows explorer doesn't respond either way. I tried to repair the software via Pc Companion but it gave me the same result. To be clear the bootloader is locked and there was no sim lock but when i enter the service info i get this. Please anyone that can help ?
You tried with different SIM card?
Or just try to reinsert SIM card.
Try to go to recovery and wipe cache (both cache)
If that doesn't help, flash ftf again and test everything before you root device.

If it's still not working - I would flash last good ftf (be sure that one worked before)
Test everything...
If everything is working, flash 4.4.4 ftf but exclude baseband files....
Then check is it O.K...
And yeah...full wipe is something you should do now...
You have to get rid of old files...

Who knows...
Something in flashing process screwed firmware...
I'm sure everything will be OK after new flashing...
Signal could be problem again, that's why I suggested - flash ftf without baseband files. -
So...
Flash older ftf (the one that was working before)
Test to be sure everything is working fine.
Flash new fw without baseband files.
Test it...
I'm using Generic DE or my country fw.
That's something you should do, Singapore, China or similar fw could be problem in EU or US...

If you have your carrier / country ftf, flash that first to test and to have right baseband/modem/radio files..

Try to downgrade to older rom, if then everything works fine then you may try upgrading again.
Sent from Xperia Z1, or maybe not anymore
So i tried to flash the FTF file with flashtool but i get an error
ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.
INFO - Ending flash session
I don't know what that means but the process is still running. Should I disconnect the phone or leave it?
EDIT: I tried it again with a different cable and it worked..now I have to see if it worked
@funky0308
I'm on firmware .757 now and the camera is working again and I can copy things from an to the phone but the problem with the signal is still there. It says that the simcard is invalid, but like i said the phone was sim unlocked
Try the simcard in another phone or try another sim card in your phone so that you can eliminate the chance of having a defective simcard

Hi,
Im trying to restore Xperia Z1 original firmware (that can get updates from Sony) and I cant seem to succeed...
I have used flashtool but the software is just not right:
I can't use Wi-Fi, the sim is not working anymore (Im from Israel), everytime the phone get shut down - it asks me in what language do I want to use...
`I have tried using PC companion (Repair) also` but it tells me that my phone doesnt have an update.
I dont know what to do anymore
any advice?
Just download a rom for your model z1 and use, 'Flashtool' to flash the image.

I did that.
The IMEI is gone. Nothing seems to work ...
its probably because the flash version is not compatible with the baseband. Try flashing an older version (for eg. .108 version : u can get it from mega ftf thread in general section) and then after the flash, pc companion should detect and install the latest update.
So today i got a new unopened xperia Z from a friend for free
So i went on connecting to my WIFI it shows that the device needs to updated to frimware 10.31.A.2.67
(which i later learned that it was a update released in 2013).But i didnt update.
My phone is in frimware 10.1.A.1.434 which i guess is an old frimware.
Can i directly update to a new frimware ?Can i update it to 4.4.4 or newer versions and also how?
My device is xperia Z C6603

You can install SONY PC companionon your PC and use that to update your phone.
If that still doesnot help, you can use flashtool which is unofficial way to upgrade/downgrade your phone.
You would need FTF from general section and also flashtool which you can get from here. Make sure the FTF is device specific or your would end up bricking up your phone
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can search xda for how to use it. If you still have questions, quote me and I would be glad to help
my xperia z1 suddenly have no signal.
i already tried my sim to other phone, it works perfecting and have a full bar of signal.
i also tried other sim network to my z1, but it also indicates no signal.
i tried to repair it using pc companion, but the problem is still the same.
i also tried hard/factory reset my z1, still same problem.
i can access the sim option and function, but still no signal.
i also try using simcard reader app, it can read my sim card and i can view my simcard information.
so i think my phone simcard reader is functional.
I need your help to solve my problem on my only phone. thank you:crying::crying::crying:
Did you drop the phone or hurt it physically? Sounds like a hardware issue to me.

@lonesome10
I tampered once with the radios and selected USA bands, and had no signal but clean reflashing a rom brought it back to life.
You said though, you already tried repairing it through PC Companion so I don't know if you can solve the problem.
If you have flashtool, try flashing an ftf from here and see if that helps, otherwise I can't think of anything else.

@lonesome10
Yes it is possible. You wrote you managed to flash an ftf from xperifirm, which means you downloaded the files, and used to flashtool to create an ftf. Correct?
Now go to xperia z1 general section and in there, there is a thread containing stock ftfs.
Download one (preferably a kitkat 14.4.a.0.108), and flat it through flashtool again. Do not check anything in flashtool, that means wipe everything and do a clean flash.
See how that goes.
@yngwie_m,
Yes I manage to flash it by downloading a firmware from xperifirm then create a FTF using flashtool and I flash my phone.
If I download a firmware (preferably a kitkat 14.4.a.0.108), do I have to use flashtool to create a FTF file then flash my phone? or I don't have to create a FTF file and directly flash my phone with the firmware I downloaded using flashtool. I am from the Philippines, is there a firmware that is made for PH user? What is generic/unbranded or branded FW? what is rom and kernel?
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I don't have experience with flashing using different firmware.. again thank you for your effort to solve my phone problem. I appreciate it so much!!!
@lonesome10
On the 3rd page of Xperia Z1 General subforum, there is a thread called "[FTF] C6902 & C6903 & C6906 & C6943 FTF Mega Collection".
On the first post it has all stock uprooted ftfs.
So find which variant you have (C6902, C6903, C6906, etc) and download the corresponding ftf. Any Generic or Global ftf will do.
You will be downloading an .ftf file so no need to create it. Just flash it through flashtool.
Don't worry about roms and kernels. You have to make the phone work again for starters.
Branded is an ftf that contains stuff from a brand, like Vodafone or o2 or whatever.
Unbranded is a clean ftf as given from Sony to carriers.
So to sum up, for starters go to that thread and get an ftf to flash through flashtool.
To check your variant, see the phone package or in dialer press *#*#7378423#*#* and in Service Menu go to Service info -> Model info to see which one you have and download appropriate ftf.
I updated my xperia z1(c6906) to 5.1.1 using flashtool. i am from bahrain and the ftf file was US generic. after update my phone shows Invalid sim message. I tried installing older firmwares but still no use. Rest everything works fine.
what should i do?
I had installed c6903 ftf file so does it effect the phone?

If your phone is 6906 than you should only use 6906 firmwares to update your phone.
Hasn't their been a update notification on your phone?

I don't know. I think it has something to do with the baseband maybe.
