Can someone help me COMPLTELY factory reset my phone. I rooted using the vroot tool. Then I installed the dual recovery (CWM and TWRP). Then I used the sony factory reset from phone's settings. I didn't unlock the bootloader. The reason I need to completely factory reset is because after the sony factory reset my wifi is broken. Like phone doesn't turn on the wifi and crashes if i try.
I am going to try the new firmware update and see if that helps
Also it seems I can't access the recoveries I installed.

after a reset you lose them. Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool
Flash
Just flash the FTF Firmware "Stock 14.1.G.1.534" via Flashtool.
This should help you out. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
I updated the phone to JB and and after a few days I did a factory reset. After inserting the google user and when this process suppose to be over it return and ask me again for google user, if I enter the same user it says that it's already exists. So, basically it stack in a loop of entering the user name. I tried to do a factory reset but it didn't helped.
I'll appreciate any ideas how to solve it.
Flash rom again and reset again through recovery before you boot it, should work

Re-flash. If with kdz doesn't works use LGFlash Tool.
Which version do you suggest to install, V20a or v10h?

If your option is LGFlash Tool try the V20A. You can see if improves by flashing directly JB.
The flash will wipe everything, format partitions and factory reset, soo... after flash ends, no need for
factory reset, will be already done.
You can find all needed files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38838927&postcount=7
The software version in those files are both (V20A - V10H) Official Eurpen.
Good luck.

Hi I have a C6603... rooted and running on ExistenZ ROM 4.5
I updated to V5 (Android 4.3/.569 firmware) successfully but without SIM card. Due to my OCD, I decided after putting my SIM card in, to do a factory reset on CWM, followed by reboot.
At the "Reboot System Now" screen, CWM asks me if I wanna retain root on device. I then realized I should just flash whole V5 zip, and SuperUser fix zip then run the ROM as normal. Thus I selected "Go Back"
In this instant, the phone shut down and when reboot, it stuck at SONY logo screen and refuses to boot into anything. I used Flashtool to flash .569 and .67 kernels but both doesn't work.
I also tried PC Companion and tried to "repair" the phone but since it can't even boot the programme just says the phone isn't connected.
What should I do now? I just need to be able to enter recovery..

Try SUS, Sony Update Service. But I think you will loose your data, if I remember right.
Otherwise, what says flashtool If you try to flash the .67 firmware, not just the Kernel?

k so this is what happened i hve a sony xperia z1 c6902 that is on 14.4.A.0.108 rooted through this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/stock-update-to-14-4-0-108-t2802266
i hve an unlocked bootloader
after that i tried installing a rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/rom-aicp-5-0-kk-4-4-4r2-unofficial-t2819206
so as the thread mentioned in its instructions
How to flash:
ROM has GAPPS, custom dpi & xposed persistance in between dirty flashes
Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.4.2 Sony based ROM and NOT on 4.3 (or older) Sony based ROM
Download the latest build
Download Gapps
Take a nandroid backup
Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset
Flash ROM using any recovery
Flash Gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy!
since i did the full wipe using TWRP by check marking everything under advance wipe ive been stuck at the sony logo
i tried re-flashing the C6902_14.4.A.0.108_Stripped.ftf file through flashtool by connecting the device in flashmode (volume down + power) flash tool seems to do it fine i'll attach a screenshot below but im still stuck at the sony logo
i cannot access my TWRP or CWM recovery as when i press the vol down button nothing happens
please help me and i'll be eternally grateful
Thank You all!
That rom requires an unlocked bootloader. Have you unlocked the bootloader? I bet not.
Did you notice in the instructions of flashing that rom that you should take a nandroid backup?
OK then, flash a stock FTF, re-root and install recovery and then restore your backup.
If you did not take a backup, you just need to flash a stock FTF, re-root, install the ROM of your choice and set it back up again

Do not connect the phone until it prompts you to do so.

I had problem with update to 14.4.A.0.108 by NUT, with flashing ftf - when done as should be: connect when asked, flashtool threw error and had no imei and no cell radio. Then I done like so: start flashtool, conneted phone in flashmode, then hit lighting button and started flashing process - no error.
So in my case I hed to do oppsite for what you say, don't know if this is 0.9.16.1 issue or anything else but it worked for me.
Hi,
Here's what I did so far:
Some time ago I've installed CWM and Cyanogen 11 on my GT-I9295 Int'l.
A few days ago I flashed I9295XXUCNI1_I9295OXXCNI1_ROM (stock 4.4.2 for Romania) via Odin.All went well with the exception that Wifi can't be enabled anymore.Instead I get a security notification in the notif. drawer saying that a the action was prevented.
I flashed 9295XXUBMK3_I9295OXXBMK3_ROM.zip(stock 4.2.2 for Romania) . Issue still persists,unable to enable WiFi but there's no security notification anymore
Update:
I've also tried:
Phone factory reset
CWM factory reset
CWM clear cache
Flash stock 4.4.2
WIFI still can't be enabled,security warning shown.
Phone factory reset
CWM factory reset
CWM clear cache
Flash stock 4.2.2
WIFI still can't be enabled
With stock 4.4.2
Flashed CF-Auto-Root-jactivelte-jactiveltexx-gti9295.tar.md5
Disabled Knox - At this point I checked if WIFI can be enabled,it could not.
Installed TriangleAway and reset counter and status
Phone factory reset
Flashed stock 4.4.2
Result: Still can't enable WIFI
BASEBAND:I9295XXUCNE5
Any thoughts on what I might do next or where does this problem comes from ?
Hopefully you'll point me in the right direction on how to get back to a fully functional stock 4.4.2.
Thanks

You could do a factory data reset from settings within the phone and reflash the firmware (remember to backup your internal sdcard before doing this as it will erase your internal storage). This is known to reset the phone and resolve any firmware / modem related issues.

I did factory reset it and cleared the cache from CWM. Is the factory data reset from the phone any different ?
Best Regards

Yes, factory reset from within phone is different. CWM only wipes data and cache partitions while from within the phone it resets all partitions and firmware therefore it even wipes your internal storage. You could reflash the firmware after doing a factory reset and check.

Recommend that you flash only any one entire firmware. (Once you flash entire firmware you will have stock recovery and not CWM)
Power off phone and go to download mode with power + volume down button
Flash firmware 4.4.2 through odin
Boot normally
Reboot.. & do a phone factory reset
Power off phone and go to download mode with power + volume down button
Flash firmware 4.4.2 again through odin
Reboot
Now you should have working wifi. If this does not work then maybe a hardware issue

Oh,I feel so silly .
I just realized that I was using stock Roms with the wrong baseband. I had UCNE5 due to a previous install of the first 4.4.2 stock (PHN) back in may. Now was trying to install UCNE1 which is the stock rom for Romania region.
Problem solved,just flashed the proper stock 4.4.2 (...UCNE5) and everything works just fine.
Thanks a lot for all your help.

2x flashing stock TW ROM to repair?
Never seen that before as a solution.
Hard to follow when NE1 was flashed. You started in OP with NI1.
I bet you had a mismatch between bootloader and LTE-modem. The file name of LTE modem is NON-HLOS.bin and must be flashed using Odin or Heimdall.
The i9295 is responding like the i9505 when you mess with LTE modem - WiFi or sound will fail. The i9295 community is small and has no dedicated modem thread but head over to the i9505 community and gain knowledge. Start reading my post and continue with the referenced post by a acknowledged contributor:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57200308
And please don't try to flash any of the i9505 modem or bootloaders from that thread on your i9295 - learn the boundaries, download from trusted source, and Always Power OFF before Download Mode (never use lazy reboot) .
