I was trying to flash the new 4.3 Rom and somehow I have managed to make the sim card unfunctional. even after going back to 4.2.2 the phone always says that the sim card is invalid. I have a TA Partition backup.
I really need the phone. Thats what you get when you are playing around.
Why is the sim functionality gone? Anyone experienced the same?
Ok its because I lost the IMEI number. Nice one some people on the board had the trouble too after upgrading.
Had the same problem rerolling to older versions.. but i think its the regional code from the file.
Flash a version near/from your region and the sim card will work properly again.

It also happened to mine while I'm trying to root on 4.3. I downgraded to 534 after unsuccessful of rooting on 4.3. Then I lost IMEI and showed sim card is invalid. Fortunately I made my original 270 ftf for back up. I flashed 270 again and I got back IMEI and working sim card. I also found in other thread that if you want to downgrade 4.2.2 from 4.3 you need to flash exclude baseband. If not you will get that IMEI and sim card error. Try to update 4.3 and downgrade 4.2.2 exclude baseband if you don't have original back up like me. Good luck !!! :good:

You a need a functional TA backup to do it.
Downgrade to the version where you did the TA backup through FTF then you can see your IMEI again.
Ok I'm running 4.2.2 I want to know is there a way to back up my phone my bootloader is locked.
I have root but I didn't install custom recovery. I want to try 4.3 but I want to make sure I can come back to 4.2.2 without loosing imei.thanks

Thank you for your advice but in my case I didn't need to backup and restore TA to get back IMEI and working sim card. I'm just flash my stock 4.2.2 ftf that I backup before and everything is working fine now (both IMEI and sim).

As per reply from 4.3 rooting thread, you can downgrad 4.2.2 from 4.3 without losing imei but you need to exclude baseband when you flash 4.2.2. :highfive:

Try to restart your computer. If not OK, uninstall and reinstall flashtool. Try to redownload ftf as well. Good luck buddy.
I've also encountered the same problem after having downgraded from 4.3 to 4.22 with the intention of installing a custom rom.
I got so far as flashing a generic uk 4.22 ftf, rooting, backing up ta partition and trying to install dual recovery for LB but after a few attempts only TWRP would install and not CWM which is what I needed to install the rom and so decided to go back to stock and try again some other time.
Only now I have this Invalid Sim message and can't find a way to get my phone working as a phone again, this thread has mentioned a number of fixes but as I had to flash an old ftf first in order to root and continue, my backup ta was done after this problem surfaced and I do not have a copy of my original ftf so it would seem that what you guys tried won't work for me, anybody have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

If you don't have your original FTF doesn't matter, download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 the unbranded generic FTF and flash it to stock. Your phone will working back fine.

That did the trick, ta very much. Still having the same problem when I try to downgrade again though, I am going from .290 to .257 (I read somewhere that you have to go via .257 to reach the rooting promised land of .534) but still get the Invalid Card notice. I have done full factory resets, enabled USB Debug, ticked unkown sources, excluded baseband and not but no joy.
Seems a bit odd to me but there must be something I am missing... any ideas? All my firmware is generic UK btw.
If you are doing this to reach the .290 rooted like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572988 doesn't matter too, because you will update anyway so if you get some issues in downgrade state forget about that and complete the process. The update to .290 should fix them. Are you getting this problem on rooted .290?
I am trying to install the Criskelo rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560068 ) I got as far as installing dual recovery but I could only get TWRP working not CWM so stopped there and back tracked thinking I was doing something wrong.

The update kernel of the Criskelo it's a .290 so probably it will fix this issue but if you flashed the recovery and you get only TWRP working and not CWM i don't know how this happen. There is 1 way to boot in TWRP and another one to boot in CWM.

If you use flashtool to flash 4.3 ftf you will get problems like not having signal after flashing previous version (4.2) and the solution that worked for me is to reinstall software using SUS. After that I was able to get signal when flashing 4.2
Regards,

Hi all,
Same problem here : upgrade to .290 and install the PAC ROM, the install is ok but no IMEI (so no connectivity). Is anyone know how to solve without losing the rom.
If I flash the original/stock ftf, it works again, but it's not the PAC ROM, so 1 win for 1 loss.
Thanks
Android 4.3 obviously changes something in the phone so that if you jump to another version it won't get signal or IMEI.
Anyway, the solution is simple.
Flash 290 and then 257. You'll get the signal and IMEI. If you want, you can go to 534 from 257 and then flash any ROM you want.
P.S: you don't have to flash 534, but you can do it if you want.
@Just2Cause
I unlock my BL so if I downgrade to 257, the camera will work or it will have the same "bug" as the 4.2 FW. after flashing to 257, do I need to stay on a 4.2 FW to keep the IMEI or can I flash the PAC ROM (which use a 4.3 FW) ?
Also, when I did the upgrade to .290 I use the sony companion app and it gave me no probleme (IMEI, call, sms was ok) it's specifically the PAC ROM that reset the IMEI. So I wonder what differs at low-level between the stock .290 and the PAC ROM, that can affect the IMEI
Tks
Download any .ftf (GENERIC is recommended) flash it using flashtool, and download the .ftf kernel for that specific ROM that you have flashed and flash it also using flashtool. i had the same problem downgrading from .290 to .534 i forgot to flash the kernel for .534 so i was stuck with IMEI 000000000.
Cheers

It's not the PAC ROM that resets your IMEI, I also got same problem when I downgraded from 290 to 534.
I'm afraid that you will lose camera (not sure, just maybe) after downgrading you will be able to install PAC ROM without any problem.
There must be something in Sony 4.3 firmware that needs to be ported to other ROMS so the camera gets fixed.
I got it working!
IDK if you guys have figured it out yourselves but here is what I did...
After unlocking my bootloader on .290 I flashed the latest nightly build of PAC-man. Same as you guys My IMEI number was 000000000.
So what I did was flash [NUT]'s .534 ftf for downgrading to 4.2.2 (found here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/files/C6903_14.1.G.1.534_[NUT].ftf.torrent) which brought back my IMEI number!
From there I rooted my phone again, flashed the boot.img for recovery, flashed the latest build of PAC-man and tada! Everything is working.
Flash the latest firmware(.757), flash doomlord's advanced stock kernel(not the main one), flash the rom of your choice from there that includes kernel (like PAC) and now it REALLY is working.

Is it fine if i flash C6903_14.1.G.1.534_nut to my c6902...
I also have the problem with network. Not with this particular build, but with all AOSP roms. "Formatting boot, system, cache, data, and everything you see" will help my phone not recognizing (or invalid) sim? Are there network drivers I can flash from zip? Sorry for asking this, but I don't want to flash again and spend 3+hours figuring stuff out and then finding out later I can't call.. I need network to work as calling is what makes my device a phone, not a tablet. Help would really be appreciated.

-LiquidsmoothBETA3 kitkat
-Paranoid Android BETA7
-Slimkat
-AOKP kitkat
My current rom in use: 14.3.A.0.757 (NUT). I start the process by flashing 14.1.G.1.534 (NUT) then adding root (Bin4ry) and dual recovery (NUT) before going to AOSP roms.
Model number - C6903
Sim card - Tmobile pre-pay.
Quote from a Thread in XDA:
01. if u are coming from stock to AOSP then Downgrade to 4.2 .534 FW having Root and a Recovery ( but i think if u downgraded to 4.3 .290 FW then also it will do the trick )
02. Follow the instruction in OP with the recommended instructions - "After 5th point in Recovery go to mounts and storage and then Format boot, format system, format catche, format data, format everything u see.. Except SDcard1 (ofc).. And then move to 6th point."
If u flash .757 before coming to PA or any other AOSP ROM's then u might have trouble
As u have already done Step 01 then do a Clean reflash again with step 02.. hopefully it will solve ur problems

Hi,
I was trying to install the deodexed version of 4.4.2 Stock rom for my C6903
But it stuck at SONY logo,
so i flashed the older 4.2.2 FTF (C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1276-4314_R2A.ftf)
And now my phone is SIMLOCKED what the hell.
It did not have a simlock before, because in Belgium they don't do that.
Is there a way to get rid of it without unlocking bootloader to get full control of device kernel and ****...
FYI - I have a TA Backup of a working 4.2.2 and also of a working 4.4.2, might that help me getting rid of the simlock?
Thanks in advice
So now i did restore the TA Backup i had for 4.2.2
And guess what my imei number is gone,
and still no network ...
IMEI will come back if you flash a 4.3 or 4.4 FTF
SIMLOCK should have nothing to do with flashing FTFs
Try and flash a FTF from your original phone and try again

I had the same problem, it happen when you flash a different FTF for your region, I updated to 4.3 and it disappear.
...btw if you execute a Factory Reset maybe it will fix the problem.
My phone doesn't seem to receive any signal when flashing any firmwares othewr than .136
I was on the Monx rom for about 4 months but felt like restoring the phone back and trying something different. So I flashed a generic UK .534 firmware I had on my pc with flashtool as I still want root.. But once it was completed I received the fatal "Invalid Sim - No Service". I tried the original o2 sim in the phone which my Xperia used to be on before I unlocked it but still got the same error with no signal. I flashed it a few more times but it didn't make a difference. I thought it must have been something wrong with the ftf of the generic one so i downloaded the .257 generic uk ftf as you're able to root that too BUT same "invalid sim" popped up again. I tried restarting a few times, different sim cards and nothing works. I then found an o2 branded .136 on my computer which I must have made as a back up...I flashed it and it worked fine again with fulkl signalk and no invalid sim message. I thought maybe my handset will only work with o2 firmwares since only that ftf worked...i decided to download a .534 o2 ftf since as I mentioned i need root but same issue again!
I'm so frustrated since the ftf that root doesn't work on is fine. I have no idea why this issue is occurring
Sorry for the long read. Any help appreciated

No, please follow what I said
flash a 534 FTF

Then flash a pre rooted rom of your choice.
If choose to stay with 534 you will never get a signal.

I also tried to flash iHackers 4.1, followed the steps but still i cannot register a network. Baseband and IMEI are both available. Is there any way to fix my z1
I also tried fixing via SUS, still same problem, can look for network but cannot register. Basing on the box SI my rom is CUS HK which is the same stock ROM that I used but still had the problem. please help...

Sounds like you've lost your IMEI number.
Dial *#06# and see if it shows up all zeros, I bet it does.
I'm looking to downgrade mine from Kitkat back to 4.3 and I've gathered that if you go further back, and you did, you could lose your IMEI.
I don't know how to fix this myself, but I'm still looking and learning.
Have a look at this thread and see if it helps --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628185
Second post down gives NUT's .ftf to use to downgrade without losing IMEI, but I don't know if it will restore yours. Might be worth a try. Have a read, and hope it points you in the right direction.
---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------
Try flashing a completely stock .757 ftf including kernel, that should restore your IMEI, and flash everything.
Hope you sort it
Not .757, but .534. You'll get your imei back and try going back to .757 from there. I can't tell you how to fix that from nothing as I downgraded to .534 and restored a backup of .757. Try some other .534 ftfs if yours doesn't work. There's one version of the ftf that messes up your imei.
Don't get too scared mate, it happened for me too!

I dont think flashing NU'T's .534 alone will restore IMEI, but I could be wrong, I'm no expert.
Flashing a firmware before .290 seems result in loss of IMEI, so looks like the best way to go is to go back to the ROM you were using originally that had IMEI showing.
@op - If you reinstall OMNI rom does your IMEI come back??
If the OP is wanting to get onto KitKat .757, and was on OMNI rom previously, I'd probably flash the stock .290, or .136 ftf completely.
That firmware should in theory work, and restore IMEI, then I'd look at updating to .757.
If I'm wrong, sorry, and someone please correct.
Many thanks.
Thanks for the replies.
Actually I already did some research and flashed every ROM available even NUT's. I downgraded to .534 had bootloop. flashing .757 restores my IMEI and baseband but sadly doesn't fix the signal registration problem that I have. I have both IMEI and baseband. My IMEI is same as I have with the box so I really do not know why I cannot register a network. I have flashed back to .290 as it was FW when i unboxed it but it removes my baseband even if I choose to exclude baseband when flashing through flashtool. Anyway, I have again .757 and relocked bootloader because I sent it for warranty. Now my problem is can they know if I flashed custom ROM coz we all know it voids warranty.. hehe..
When I reinstall OMNI I cannot get it to boot properly because I always have Process is not responding error and then reboots continuously
Ah, right.
What's the status of the TA partition? Was it backed up, and restored when you relocked the bootloader?
As far as I've read, restoring TA and relocking should be okay for warranty purposes. The only thing I've wondered about is you usually have to unlock via the Sony website, so they must know you requested the unlock key.
If the bootloader is locked with a restored TA partition, they cannot prove that you actually used it tho, so should be fine.
If you didn't backup, then restore the TA, then they may know.
As for the signal issue, had you tried another sim card to see if that worked?

Anyway I tried sending it for warranty purpose and now after waiting for weeks already I was updated with the status. I was told that the main board was replaced and now my phone is being prep to be shipped and returned hopefully I will receive it tomorrow. Now my question is if the board was replaced does it mean that it will have a new set of DRM keys and others? If not will flashing again a Custom Rom bring the same problem? hehe.. Because I am thinking of flashing custom ROM again once I have it.

So I have my Z1 back, actually not my actual Z1 but a brand new replacement. =)
Time to back up everything now! =)

Lol, yes, and the TA partition
Nice one getting a new handset :good:
Got my Z1 the other day and flashed some firmware on it(cant remember which one) then rooted it, unlocked bootloader and flashed dual recovery to it and then flashed my rom. Rom worked fine etc but sim card was not detected because IMEI is 0.
I read up about this and followed a guide which involved flashing .290, then .257 and then after that to root the z1 and then flash .534 and then install recovery and then install my rom. This was supposed to 'fix' the imei problem but i've just finished flashing DU 5.1.1 and my IMEI is STILL missing and now I have no idea what to do next.
I want to run a custom rom but still be able to have simcard etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you have C6902, then you have to flash the corresponding fix, which is in Z1 threads. Search for it. If you have C6903, then either reflash your original ftf firmware with flashtool or flash C6903 baseband only from the same ftf (also with flashtool). If you can't find original firmware, just flash baseband for your type (C69XX). And next time, read about the firmware/rom you are flashing (and write it down) or you may brick your phone...
