maybe you missed some step bro
Just download the stock firmware and flash with Flashtool , then try to install the ROM you wanted again carefully , and make sure you have all the requirements :good:

my cell phone only works this is not standard so

I don't care cause warranty covers factory defects anyway and nothing else. So if anything was gonna go wrong with my phone it would've gone wrong by now.

So all of this is due to custom recovery etc?
Ps, Binary count has nothing to do with the firmware status.
You can have 100 binary counts but if you never messed with custom recoverys,bad param.lfs files etc your device will remain Official.

[Q] camera not working on z1 running cm11

after i installed cm11 on my xperia z1,my camera stoped working. other apps and services performs normally execpt my camera. is there anything i can do to fix that? if there isnt, i just want a rom with kitkat experience with my camera working normally.

What firmware did you have when unlocking the bootloader?

It's a knows issue with CM11, ask how to fix it to the OP of the Rom which you installed or look in XDA.
You can also do a Factory Reset, which in this case I think will not help much but give it a shot, Reinstall Rom or switch to different KK Rom which do not have this issues like the Stock NUT pre-rooted one.

Nobody will help you here with changing IMEI. It's against xda rules and there's a very good reason for it.

The phone is detect the SIM card or not? If not, then your phone sim slot has been faulty (loose or bad contact prong). If yes, you can use search network function.....

Okay. I'm sorry I can't be of much help. Actually, I bought my phone (Sony Xperia Z1) from China, and it works perfectly here in India. Dunno why your imported one isn't working as the C6903 model of yours is compatible with Indian networks too Anyway, keep at it, I'm sure you'll find a way

New phone, Balong firmware

I have bought a p8 lite from an online store. I received it with the balong firmware. How does it mean? That the phone has been modded by the seller?
What can I do? Flash the b046 firmware?
My phone is mono-sim and i want to keep it mono.
Thank you very much

That means that the seller had installed a wrong Rom for your phone version . If I were you I ask for another phone.
You bought a new phone or an used phone. And you bought it in an official store?
Anyway you can solve it more or less easily but you should tell it for the seller

I am interested too, because I have bought my P8Lite with B171.. and flashed the 2nd STEP of B132.. and then I've got the Balong error.. and now I don't know how to get back to B171 with no errors.
Thanks in advance.

you can revert it to B171 easy... only download B049 single sim FW and unzip it. you will see 2 folders - dload and vendor... copy vendor folder to sd card, rename it to dload (dont touch anything in folder) and do local update...
voila B171 is back

Thank you Vigo. I bought a new phone. I'm going to call them and ask for a complete refund.

The "Balong" is not an Error. It´s missing the Vendor Update (see bluedolphin post). The Vendor Update simply changes the Build name. Nothing more!
Balong is is the name of the HSPA/LTE/SoC Chipset. Produced by HiSilicon (owned by Huawei)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiSilicon

I asked about sixaxis not working on my firmware and someone said that its because i have balong build. So how come you say that it does not affect anything? I understand it changes the build name on build.prop but i think it does affect other things. Im going to flash the vendor folder of my fw and report back this weekend

Factory Reset

Hi there,
Factory Reset/Full phone memory wipe will get back to any B1xx or B0xx build you have installed. I have done it many times, no issue at all. Before you do this ensure you have a backup of your data because your phone will get stock as "right from the box". After reset will stay around 3 min to reinitialize, then you can set up the device again, restore your data and you are good to go. :good:
Cheers.

Good morning!
I have the same problem here.
Got my splendid phone, and tried to debranding.
Now i tried and after step 1 i got the balong thing.
So i tried really EVERYTHING in right order, but nothing happens.

But you can stop at the B170 build of the Tuto if you want stay on 5.0. And after you have one the B188 by ota .
The latest European is B190(5.0.1)
Required minimal b163.Also B170 is good

Yep the model is ALE-L21....
So i just need to unlock the bootloader you mean? Doesn't it mean that i lose the warranty?

Somehow I managed to throw softwer in the phone and now I verzion ALE - L21C432B170 , but I still have problems with wifi internet, I can not find any wifi network. I see on forums that people have a problem with that , but I want to know if someone managed to they understand what's the problem? Is it good this version for my phone . This is a model with two cards and everything works except the wifi network and I do not know that there maybe a hardware problem?

hi, I have one question. I have balong c50b311 firmware and emui 3.1... so my question is, when emui 4.0 and marshmallow 6.0 it is released, will I get notification in updater? and is my phone going to be able to perform that update? thanx

Hello on wich build are you?
If you are on b524 update directly.
If you are on b525 you can use the roll back package but personally I make real downgrade with full wipe and format.
One flash by fastboot, 2 by sd and you have a real clean system with B550 official marshmallow.. I make this at the same time I write this. (last week I have downgrade to b525)
It's why I downgrade again. With twrp I format all before the Flash by fastboot. Flash like a normal update the vendor to didn't see the balong bug and b170 then B550

Good Morning Toms89,
If you still need help, it would be useful if you could tell if you have Single or Dual Sim! If you have 2 IMEI numbers, you have Dual Sim and if you have only one IMEI, you have Single Sim.
In addition, it would be nice if you could tell me whether your P8 lite rooted and / or the Bootloader is unlocked

That's because you flashed a Dual-Sim Firmware on Single-Sim Smartphone.
Try to flash 171 from Carbon Tesla
If it doesn't work unlock your Bootloader and Flash C432B049 (install it also from Carbon Tesla) via Bootloader. Then install B171 with Updateapp and get OTA B199 ,B575,B585...
If you still need help, it would be useful if you could say whether your P8 lite rooted and / or the Bootloader is unlocked:fingers-crossed:
