Hi all,
i got a problem with my bluetooth phonebook sync. My phone connects via blutooth to the car, but the phone book does not sync. The request for the transfer of the phone book does not appear at all.
I have this Problem with following ROMs:
Sony Stock 4.3 (14.2.A.0.290)
IHackers 2.1 (JellyBean 4.3)
SlimKat 4.4
However, no problems with these ROMs,
Sony Stock 4.2.2 (14.1.G.2.257)
FreeXperia CM11 (fxp / kali)
What can cause this and how can I solve this problem for the other roms?
Thank you
Sony xperia Z1 C6903
Opel UHP car kit
You can flash the "Baseband" only from 14.1.G.2.257 on 14.2.A.0.290 or Update to .136. If .136 will not solve this problem then flash Baseband here too from .257.
I have the same problems with 290 and 136.. Does this mean that I can flash the 136 generic BALL ftf and then just flash the baseband from 257? It won't screw the phone up will it?

Alan

I can't guarantee that but this was confirmed by users who did that to improve the signals on they phone. They flashed baseband from 4.2.2 FW .257 on 4.3 FW .290 and it worked. Flashing anything its a risk so be careful, BTW, if this will not work you can flash the baseband from 4.3 FW .136 back, in the same way. If I am not wrong, if so someone correct me please, the baseband contain all package of frequency for the phone to work properly.

Hi eclyptos,
Thank you for your reply.. So, does the baseband contain all of the wireless stuff like wifi, bluetooth etc?
To get the sequence right I -
1) Completely flash .136 - reboot to check if ok
2) Flash the baseband ONLY from .257 - reboot to check if ok
If, the phone were to get stuck in say, a bootloop is there any way to completely power it off and then reflash?

Are you saying that after flashing baseband from .257 on .136 you still have problems? Try downgrade the entire system and check if the problem persist. Sometime is not the phone but the other devices so really we can try looking forever.

If i downgrade to. 257 It works perfect!
The other Device is not the problem.

Is not that easy. Bluetooth is not an application which you can download or install. It's implemented in the system and baseband. The main reason for bad quality like WiFi, Mobile Signal or Bluetooth is the Radio which is the Baseband in Z1. On HTC for example to improve the reception for all of them I am able to flash just the Radio.

I losing ideas, I don't want to say but at last it may be a hardware issue but not sure. I don't know if you want to do this but you should go back to Stock and Flash a Stock FTF to check if the problem persist even there, is it does it's the phone.
I understand there is already a post regarding another user who has had this problem. However, I believe that my circumstances differ.
I am currently running iHacker's 4.1 rom. My device is a c9603, and has an unlocked bootloader. (I'm not sure if the other user was locked or unlocked)
From the roms that I have tested, I am only able to successfully use wifi and see my baseband, etc., using PAC or a restoration of a backup made of my current rom. All I am trying to do is update from .757 to .108.
Would it be worth it to make a backup of everything, relock the bootloader, revert it completely back to stock, unrooting it, and then either root it again and try to update, or use sony's PC companion or my phone's update center to update my firmware and then root it on .108?
Thanks in advance. This has just been a persistent problem and I'm really getting tired of it.
***UPDATE***
Somewhere in all my rom flashing endeavors, I must have accidently picked up a c6903 version of a ROM or ftf. It changed the model number (according to the status in the service menu) to an 03. Something told me to pop the sim tray, and behold: Model number c6902. Flashed the correct version, and my wifi is up and running again!
Try to go back to initial firmware and then to .108

Nothing seems to be working. No matter what I flash, I loose my baseband, imei, mac, ip... The only two roms that have worked are my current one and PAC.
What the hell is going on?
Try to flash full .534 FTF
It will bring back your IMEI and baseband. I have that before (lost IMEI) then flash .534, install recovery then flash straight to .108
Alright. I have class right now, but I'll give it a try when I get home.

So... Apparently flashing anything below .757 causes my phone to bootloop... Help?
Flash everything on .534 FTF (baseband, kernel, system, ta, all of them) and all wipe to....
Use latest FlashTool (.18)

I'm still getting a bootloop. I get past the Sony and Xperia screen and then it gets stuck mid-loop of little animation they included. Could it be a broken ftf? Or just an error when I downloaded it? Because more than one of the ftf files do this.

Nope, same exact thing happened. Except this time, I only got to the "Xperia" portion of the boot logo before it decided to do another boot-loop. I waited for 30 minutes, and had it plugged in, but still nothing...
This time throw it at Sony centre to fix it....We have no idea.....

I've Unlocked Bootloader.
Can someone help me? Thank you.

The new Video Update is kind of buggy atm, you can always downgrade by downloading the APK online and assuming you guys have Root access you can push it to system/priv-app/ and give rw-r-r permissions. Or you could uninstall the update in Settings>Apps therefore restoring the App to its factory version
New update doesn't change anything but name so downgrading won't hurt unless you prefer the name "Video" instead of "Movies"
I have the exact same problem gifs on relay for reddit also stop playing, a reboot fixes it temporarily but it always comes back, would love to know a permenant solution. Latest rooted stock.

Thank you for the answer! I've installed a debloated version of the firmware. So I can't see Video app listed in the menu. Which is the exact name I should see in Setting->Apps?
Did this work and if so, what version did you use? Thanks.

I tried to push a couple of old versions to the system but after a couple of hours or a day later the problem came back. Does anyone have an idea what the culprit could be. Kernel maybe? Tried flashing other roms to no avail. Now I'm on 5.1.1 stock slim version. I have an unlocked bootloader btw without drm keys. (which I lost because i'm the stupid noob who didn't check his backup...)Anyone ideas?

As far as is know the problem started with the stock kernel. I then flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and the Advanced kernel. Anyway, i will flash the stock kernel just to be sure. If that doesn't change anything can i try to restore it with Sony Companion and start over?

I figured that much.. It's a weird problem. It got me thinking it maybe hardware related. I will try the kernel end the restore and if it doesn't work i just have to live with it. Thank you very much for the help.
Sorry to revive this older thread, but did you find a solution to the issue? I am experiencing the very same problem on my Z2 phone with stock ROM + unlocked bootloader and root. I was suspecting a HW issue (maybe combined with unlocked BL), but there were few other users with same issue. I am going to place an order for Z3 compact and would hate to face the annoying "camera not available" or "video can't be played" messages again.
Hi Experts,
I have searched the forum and after flashing for three sleepless nights, I am still struck with the unknown baseband issue.
The details are:
C6903
BL Unlocked & now its locked using Flashtool (DRM or TA backup is unavailable )
Currently the phone is struck in boot loop in .534
Used Flashtool ver. 0.9.22.3 & 0.9.18.6
Latest EMMA & Xperia Companion
My phone hanged when listening to the music and when I force restarted the unknown baseband showed up. While flashing I got the baseband back after flashing .518 however it hanged again after two days and I lost the BB
Now I am struck in boot loops on .534 and .518 both. I can boot into .290 successfully. Can someone please guide me to the correct method of restoring my IMEI permanently.
P.S. As per my short experience with C6903, I believe something stops the boot of .534 and .518 after first boot. Means I was not able to boot into .534 but accidentally when I flashed .518, my phone booted successfully. However now I am unable to boot into .518. May be I am missing the piece of puzzle that an expert can provide.
Thanks in advance~

Hi again, Really appreciate your help.
I have tried flashing a number of files but still in vain. What I really can't understand is .518 was the last 4.2.2 rom that booted successfully on my phone and brought my baseband back. Now .534 and .518 are both ending in a bootloop at Sony animation Really driving me crazy...
As a side note, can you tell me if the modem files in the link below are useful for this issue?

By the way I am really amazed with the Z1 ability to handle abuse that I have thrown at it during the last 2 weeks
Changing phone is not an option for me right now. Using Nokia 1100 after a long time seems very uncomfortable and can't do it for long

Hi, tried to flash with different cables as I don't have Sony original cable with me but the results are still the same. No luck with .534 and baseband is still unknown...
I understand this is a free community and people are free to determine if they wanna help someone or not. However I just wanna know if this is repairable or shall I just forget about repairing it. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

It might be a broken digitzer or something worse, according to your reports, you have flashed firmwars via flashtool with no avail and even used Xperia Companion so it is most likely a hardware issue.
I would suggest you send in the phone to Sony for repairs, hopefully its covered by warranty, and it still would be if the bootloader is locked. Either way it might get expensive so be prepared for that

See this is the strange thing. I had this problem about a week ago, when I flashed a different stock firmware to my phone, and the touchscreen stopped working totally. I sent my phone off to Sony for repair, and just received it back, with a brand new replaced display.
Then I flashed a different firmware and got the same problem. The phone is currently with Sony for hopefully another repair covered by warranty.
I didn't think that you could damage your hardware just by flashing, but it seems that way, unless it's just a huge coincidence.
I find it very strange.
Perhaps during flashing it is possible to screw up the digitizer firmware.
Is a sw trouble.... Last mm versión have this trouble
