Try to repair it using pcc, this should also upgrade your phone to 4.3

I wouldn't root the phone if you don't need it. Simply download a stock .ftf file and flash it via flashtool, this will NOT void your warranty

I too got this problem suddenly, did resetting the phone, flashed using flashtool & repaired using Sony PCC but to no avail.
Is it a hardware problem ?
Help me guys.

I unlocked the bootloader. No success. Installed Kitkat. No success. Just now sent it to service centre after restoring back to 4.3 & locking the bootloader

This happened to me.
I flashed stock and everything was good, I decided to lock the bootloader as I wanted OTA updates. After I locked the bootloader I noticed my Wi-Fi wouldn't turn on. After half an hour of searching and replying to posts I was told to re-flash the whole stock FTF and wipe everything and it worked!

didntask you to unlock tho,
was check what might cause it.
if it is caused by unlocking bootloader, most likely TA backup will solve the problem?

For 2 days I flashed at least 5-6 ftf & 1 kitkat firmware; still my wifi & bluetooth refused to switch on. I think my phone's problem probably is hardware. It's presently in service centre. Awaiting a call from them.

@rkadve
hows it?
just wondering

Running into the same problem here. Did Sony ever provide a more elegant solution rather than wipe everything and install again?

Just hope there is file that can totally recover phone..like repair GDFS/Baseband/Imei...
If u loose your imei then there is nothing u can do unless u have TA backup. Sony Service is the only way, hopefully. U also cannot flash someone elses TA! remeber! It could also be damaged sim slot.

Yes,i totally understand it,now only hope is waiting some repair file release..
Can u not send it to sony repair center? I doubt that there is going to be other solution. Im not sure but TA is heavily secured so the only thing u can do is dump and flash. Correct me if im wrong.

Try flashing this ftf file it only has the baseband in it... Just put the ftf in the firmware folder of flash tool and flash it. You won't loss any data.

I have a very similar problem as the OP.My phone froze,got stuck in a bootloop & even after flashing several Stock ROMS & even restoring my Backup TA I'm getting nowhere.Sometimes I get a Factory Reset Screen on start up which asks me to "WAIT FOR POWER BUTTON" but nothing happens n then the phone reboots.I have almost given up hope & I think I might have bricked my device.Plz Help.
P.S. I have not Unlocked my Bootloader nor installed any custom ROMs on it.Only rooted n installed CWM recovery.
I have heard of this..its your efs File got corrupted...and you can only corrupt it during flashing however that's weird it was corrupted during an official update..I don't think the bootloader was updated on 4.2.2... Never the less if there is not a backup with the signature Intact you have no choice but to send it in....sorry

[Q] SIM-card(s) not readable

I've got a more or less big problem. My Xperia SP cannot recognize, that my SIM-card is inserted. If I turn it on it doesn't ask for the PIN and furthermore I can't receive or send SMS's, I can't receive calls or call somebody and I haven't got mobile data. I tried to insert my SIM-card in another sony phone and it didn't work. I also put another working SIM-card in my phone and it also couldn't recognize it. I think (I'm actually sure) it's caused by the non-functional phone apk, but maybe also the SIM-card is broken.
What shall I do? I have a TWRP backup, but I'm not 100% sure, whether it is from before or after. What is a less- or non-risky possibility to replace the phone.apkor is there a better method to repair the phone?
edit: I found out, if my phone is turned on and I remove the SIM-card, it realizes it, and reboots.
Please help me!
???
Sorry, but why is my post ticked with a hook??? The problem isn't solved yet!

First of All thanks for your reply. But I already took another SIM-card (which on Xperia L works fine) and put it into my device but there were the same problems. Yesterday I downloaded the SemcPhone.apk file, pushed it to /system/app and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. Then it asked for the PIN but after unlocking I got a bunch of Force closes and they didn't stop.. Even after rebooting again I had the problem, so I deleted the apk file again. But it's now the same like I described there above :/
Reflash ROM.. You have phone.apk problems aswell so this should fix it
Okay.. And the stock ROM, is this the "Deodexed stock ROM" (777MB) from android development or the "normal" stock ROM (odexed) (12.0.A.2.245) also from android development section?
No, to prevent any issues just open Sony Update Service (can be downloaded from the Sony website) and "restore" your phone..
So go back to full stock
Okay cool thank you I'll try it

The last version of Sony Update Service misses the XSP.
I have contacted Sony Mobile to point this out. Untill we recieve a new update you need to use the PC Companion to restore your phone or you need to use Flashtool

I tried it with PC Companion but when it had to start repairing and it booted the phone into flashmode (I think so, because the LED was green) and then PC Companion said: "The phone contains modified software, which cannot be updated" and below "Error 2003" ..
I tried it 2 times and both the same :/
My phone has unlocked bootloader, is rooted, and has the DoomKernel, no custom rom.

Well that is unfortunate. You need to relock bootloader and reflash with flashtool.
You cannot use Sony software with unlocked bootloader

Oh! That's actually bad. But then I first have to flash back the stock kernel, then relock bootloader, repair with PC Companion and eventually unlock Bootloader again if necessary for me, right? Just for being sure.
Yes correct you need stock kernel then lock bootloader,then re flash/repair phone
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
Ok good. Now the last question: from where can I get the right stock kernel? I found a post from DoomLoRD, where he wrote, that you have to flash stock kernel.sin and no FTF kernel but I couldn't find a stock kernel.sin and in another post from alivanov79, alivanov79 posted a link to an FTF kernel. So Do you know which one is the right one?

Hello! I hope you're still alive!
I am facing the same problem, but before I start doing stuff, may I know if your problem has been solved?
My Xperia SP as well on occassion doesn't detected sim card. Sometimes when I need to make phone calls the most, it starts to do it. I am planning to send it for warranty, as I am having another 20 days before the warranty expires.
Surprisingly, many Sony Xperia models users have experience of having a phone that doesn't read SIM cards. Google reveals it all.

Hey,
yeah, I'm still alive
So, the thing is, my problem there had been caused by myself, fiddling around with some root stuff, so it hadn't been my phone's fault.
But what I did is I just flashed another ROM because I didn't see another solution and it really drove me crazy not being able to use the SIM card related functions.
Well, keeping your post in mind I don't think you'd like to flash another ROM (I probably shouldn't have done that, too).
So if you didn't already try to repair your phone with PC Companion, that'd be the first thing, I'd do in your case.
Otherwise I'd send it for warranty as you considered it already.
Yeah, my sister's Xperia L also has that problem and that's really unfortunate.
So I hope, my "advide" could help at least a bit although there may not be plenty of hints, but yeah.
If I shocked you with that essay I'm sorry, too

Lol I don't think ROM flashing is the root problem, as I have been using CM11 for a month (and maybe more). The problem starts appearing lately..
I will flash stock ROM and relock bootloader and then reflash stock via PCC to see if it will fix the problem
Anyway thanks for the reply!
No, that's not even something to be called "essay"....

Xperia T - Not possible to turn on Wifi after Updating to Android 4.3

Yesterday I updated my Xperia T to Android 4.3 via Sony Companion Software. My phone is not rooted. Everything apperently went fine, but after the Update process I wanted to turn on my Wifi, but it did not work. I tried that from the quicksettings and form the settings directly. The button remain grey for a certain time and the turns back to off.
I turned off my phnone and on again, but a white triangle with a screw came and the phone remained in that status for more than 6 hours. After that it turned on, but the Wifi problem remains. Regarding Bluetooth, that works fine.
What I noticed is that when I check the phone info and the Wifii settings, no MAC Adress is listed there for Wifi. I don't think its a hardware problem, because everything was fine before updating.
What should I do? I am afraid to turn my phone off bcause it could go back to the white triangle remaining for several hours in that state. I dont think a factory reset would help, because there seems to be an update problem and I would like to rather not loose all my settings.
Any help would be very appreciated, because I urgently need wifi in my university.......

The ftf file is the stock Rom, you can find it here on xda. Flashtool also. Flashtool only works if you have windows xp, vista 7 or 8. Not on 8.1. Repairing it using pcc should be easier though

Unfortunately, reparing it with PCC did not help and I am quite desperate. I bought the phone last year as a used one. I am quite a newbie in this field, but could it be, that the rom installed is an altered one and a normal update via PPC leads to this Wifi problem? Normally that should not be the case, but how can I find that out what is causing the problem and what must I do to overcome this drama of mine. I whish I didn't perform that update, because everything wAs working fine before.....

Bluetooth conflict with wifi

A factory reset would definitely work. You don't know how many times I've seen people (even with different phones) have problems like these because they change their Android version and/or flash different ROMs without wiping their partitions, i.e., doing at least a Factory Reset. If you were rooted you could try deleting the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file in /data/misc/wifi. The problem is, since you're already on 4.3, there is no sure way to root 4.3 unless your bootloader is unlocked. So unless you find out a way to backup your data/settings, you're either going to lose it all when doing a Factory Reset, or downgrading to 4.1.2 (to root), or even flashing a stock 4.3 FTF, because I'm sure your problem is that you haven't wiped.

Fasching Kernel + Baseband only - Phone dead!

Hi
i had paranoid android installed but the baseband was the wrong one..
(I installed iHackers 4.1 without flashing kernel + baseband because then i landed in a bootloop)
When on ihackers i installed paranoid android 4.4.4 over it and it worked. But also like in ihackers
i could not connect to my network because of the wrong baseband.
So i downloaded C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf and flashed only the baseband without wiping anything..
Restarted .. baseband hasn't changed but the system booted and everything was fine.
Than i flashed only the kernel and the baseband without flashing anything else and wiping anything.
The phone went dead. Really dead. Power + vol+ which allways worked (3xvibrate) not working.
LED not working .. Just dead!!! i have it on the charger because before the last flashing it was @ about 15 - 20 % accu.
But even when i connect the charger .. no led .. nothing .. its playing dead.
Any Idea? (it is .. now that i remember .. not the first time a z1 went that dead on me.. I had a z1 before which did the same. now in retrospective I remember flashing kernel and baseband (ONLY) also on that phone.. and it went dead.
If somebody likes to trash his/her z1 try flashing only baseband and kernel. (I am sure the kernel and the baseband are the correct one for the firmware.)
Any ideas how to reanimate my z1?

You have flashed a stock kernel to a custom rom, so of course you will get a bootloop.
Solution, flash a stock FTF, after leaving the phone on charge for a few hours
and post your questions in the Q&A section
Cant get into flashmode or fastboot mode.. it does not react on any button combination

yes .. i pushed it several times and also for ab 12 sec. nothing happens.
This happened to me when I first got my Z1. Unfortunately I had to send my phone back to Sony which they ended up replacing the motherboard.
They won't be able to detect any custom firmwares. Waiting time is unfortunately about 14 business days once they receive it...
If you phone is unlocked be sure to let them know so you get an nck unlock code. You will have a new imei.

This is not a motherboard issue, it just needs charging for a few hours and then reflashing. Also he has lost his warranty due to unlocking so since this happened as a direct result of flashing custom roms he wont e able to claim on warranty
I understand this is not a motherboard issue, however the exact same problem happened to me months ago. Even after waiting overnight and trying to enter flash mode again it would not respond properly.
Sony's solution is to replace the motherboard at the repair facility I'm assuming because it is the easiest method.
I can almost guarantee this is what will happen when you send it in and they won't deny you warranty.
If you cannot get your phone into flash mode after a few hours, try again overnight. If not I would send it in, or get your carrier to replace it.
Repeat this magic phrase: "I updated my phone and it wouldn't turn on"

Please do not condone fraud on XDA
Now you are deviating from the original intention of this thread. This is absolutely not fraud. It is a vague statement at best.
Your "Recognized Contributor" status and high post count does not give you authority to belittle other users.
Just trying to spread community support which is the purpose of xda, is it not?

Well you flashed a stock kernel on a CM based rom and thought it would work?
Don't come for Greg as he's the nicest member on here.
Need help
Hi,
I've run pac-rom on my Z1. Now I want to flash from the current .109 firmware only the base band. In Flash Tool under exclude everything except I labeled baseband. Then the flash process starts without error message. When I start the phone is still the old baseband version. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Maybe its the same baseband?
No,
old version is .39, and the new from .108 is .51
Hey thanks for your answers @ all!!
The failure was that i flashed roms / ftf with very low battery. Than i charged for a few hours and flashed again .. and on and on.
At some point the accu seems to got broken.
I send it to a repair facility used by sony and they confirmed that the accu is dead.
It seems that i get a replacement. (on warranty)
Thank you again. ! SO!!! What we learn from this is "Only flash your device when its charged!"

Wifi never connects

Hello, I hope someone can solve me the following problem:
I've been with Validus and RR CM ROMs and one day my wifi stopped connecting to any network, I thought reinstalling the ROM would work, but not ... Today I've been doing full wipes and was the same. So my last chance was putting a STOCK but has not worked, so I do not know what else to do ...
When I try to connect appears:
- Connecting ...
- Disabled
- Saved
But never connected.
Thanks to that I can help with anything ...
Regards

Try few of these.
have you tried connecting to different WiFi routers?
HAve you recently unlocked bootlader unofficially?
Yes, I have tried and the same, I unlocked months ago... Sometimes it connects (few minutes), I have tried to clean saved networks, wipe Google , recover WiFi from titanium backup... Now it is in authentication problem...

That's exactly what I thought and that's why I have asked you about your bootloader status. At times, you can lose your bluetooth and wifi while unlocking the bootloader which is more common if you unlock it unofficially. So if you can recall, when exactly the problem started. How long after you unlocked your bootloader ?
You say by reverting back to stock, it has not helped ? How did you revert back to STOCK. Try using Sony companion to repair your phone. That might help.
If that doesnot work, try relocking your bootloader on stock and see
Well, at times weirdest things seem to work!
I suggest flash STOCK which is device specific. i understand there is variation in Xperia Z models and thus I suggest you use the one which is device specific and report back,
By the way, is any Sony Care centre near your place ?

I don't think it is because of unlocking because was officially and I have being using and changing ROMs and there wasn't any problem.
Maybe it could be when I flashed cm-12.1 (RR ROM). Then, I flashed stock one with flash tool to fix my WiFi, is there any different with companion? I can't go to Sony I am travelling in few days, and I need a phone soon!!!

The only reason I'm referring you to Sony companion is that it might fix the issue as it is official way to do it.

Dispatch it to a sony centre and they would certainly repair it for a small price

I am afraid I do not own an Xperia Z . I actually answer questions that no one answers in different forums.
I wish I could be of more help in this regard. Sometimes relocking your bootloader with flashtool helps as well.

I sent it to Sony technicians and they wanted me to pay 130 € to fix the "electric issues" so there my XZ is without WiFi forever, I guess. Sorry mate.
