Im pretty screwed it would seem? I guess t-mobile isn't that popular? I have yet to see any roots or anything else pertaining to 10.3.1.E.0.191 build on the T-mobile Xperia Z. It's stuck with a locked bootloader, and im kind of cornered here...So if anyone has ever rooted and downloaded a ROM to this phone, please explain to me how you've done it, It would seem no one else here knows of any solution since tmobile has gone full retard, well, I guess full genius in not allowing their phones to be Rommified.
Again...anyone with a T-mobile Xperia Z with the above specs please assist.
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but are you saying that you are not able to flash a generic, unbranded rom on your t-mobile phone?

I can flash a rom, but when I do, WiFi wont activate, it gets stuck on turning on...and no one seems to be able to figure out why, right now it's back to standard everything, no root, just basic....it would be nice to be able to do something with it

Are you excluding anything in the ftf when flashing, and are you performing wipes?
Just so I get this straight:
He, with his T-Mob branded phone, can flash any generic 6603 firmware?

Correct. He can flash C6602 firmware as well, but will loose LTE.
Some firmwares seemed to disable my wifi. .The .67 firmware, ES unbranded for 6603 has been the most trouble free version to run on my 6606. It is rootable without too many extra steps, and all the features work, and plenty custom roms use it as a base. Your best bet is to download several ftf files, both different regions, and different firmware versions, so you can compare and see which one runs well, lets you get lte, and wifi. Most 6603 fw will let you get lte but it wont show when you first start up, you have to "download internet and mms settings" then go into networks and choose lte or 4g preferred. If it still doesnt give you 4g you can flash just the baseband from the tmobile firmware over and that should resolve it. Some will tell you to flash the FOTA as well, I never do because I dont want any notifications from tmobile to update my crap, I can do it just fine here.

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?
Regards,
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.

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 didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on...
I opened my Sony Xperia T LT30p- and found the original customization number and all that.
Its: "1266-6442 LT30p/Mobile Phone/Telekom.de DE (Germany)/Black"

This is quite strange
1) Locked or unlocked bootloader?
2) Have you ever flashed a custom kernel?
3) Have you ever flashed a custom rom?
4) What's your original firmware customization number? EDIT: I've just seen that's 1266-6442... is this your ORIGINAL firmware? Where do you live? In Germany?
5) Rooted? CWM?

Ok, yes, I know how it works...
I just asked about the bootloader status, because sometimes some people mess with bootloader, kernel, flash from recovery, flash with Flashtool... and so on... WITHOUT the understanding of what they're doing... and come here complaining... do you know what I mean?
OK, now, I know how to help you.
1)
There's a method to download and install the original firmware directly from Sony.
But you need to be rooted. So, are you rooted?
2)
Your customization number is wrong.
1266-6442 doesn't exist.
That's maybe the number of your model, but it's not related with the firmware.
The right number for Telekom Germany is 1265-9144
The customization number is inside your software and can be found pressing *#*#7378423#*#*, inside Service info --> Sofware info --> Customization Version.
Give me that number please, so I can understand what's the software working now on you device.
3)
You said "I didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on.."
Ok, please, explain better what you did.
Have you flashed what kind of rom? Via recovery?

And then, the 4.3 is just S**t, as i sad it, just problems, and i just want the previous version, because it worked perfect.
so i just was flashing all the other firmwares, especially the 4.3, from all the other regions, i thought maybe they will work better, but nope.

Ok, now I've understood what's your situation.
It seems that when you flashed 4.1.2 firmwares, the process was not compete for some reason.
The list from which you get that number, is about all kind of xperia T... and is different from the firmware list.
The problem is that you lost your previous original number, maybe it was 1265-9144... and you can resume it only with root and a little bit of experience... and actually I'm not sure you would be able to handle this kind of hacking stuff.
Anyway I'm quite sure that 4.1.2 from CE is perfect for your needs.
Try this one with Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
This firmware is perfect for any european country: I tested many times and is one of the best.
But before flashing, recharge your battery to the maximum. And be sure that the flashing process is complete and without errors.
Just try and let me know...

This kind of issue is called "bootloop".
When it happens, try to push "power button" + "volume up" together.
The phone will turn off.
Turn on again and if there's bootloop again, repeat the procedure on and on and on.

I can't answer to the first question.
You are the first with this weird problem and I'm beginning to think that something is broken inside your phone.
Bootloops are usual when something is wrong with kernel or system, but if you say that flashing went good and this appears only with 4.1.2 , I really don't know why.
You are not rooted because you've never done before and anyway every time you format the system (flashing with Flashtool or via recovery) you lose root.
So you are not rooted for sure.
The problem now is becoming bigger, because there's no way to root a 4.3 firmware directly.
But... guess what? You have to root 4.1.2 before and then install a 4.3 already rooted. :crying:
The only way for you to root 4.3 directly is to unlock your bootloader, but this means that you lose warranty and DRM keys (that are needed to let work some functions like Bravia Engine).
Actually you could save your warranty and DRM keys with a special backup (called TA backup), but.... guess what? You need to be rooted!!!! :crying:
The second way is to try to install 4.0.4 ice cream and root it. It could work.
I give you this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B55PDGQqCzReV2dFSjFSNnlLLVk/preview?pli=1
It's 4.0.4 italian version...
Try this... and if it doesn't work, the only way is to unlock your bootloader losing warranty and drm keys, sorry...

LOL :cyclops: as you wish...
1) Flash 4.3 with Flashtool
2) Unlock your bootloader on Sony official site following all the instructions: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
3) Once it's unlocked, open Flashtool and re-flash 4.1.2 CE that I gave you and you tried before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
4) Don't turn on. Download Doomkernel here: http://d-h.st/4kK
Unpack the .elf file inside the zip
5) Open Flashtool. Connect the phone to PC keeping pushed the volume-up button. Now the phone is in fastboot mode. Click on the lightning symbol, select fastbootmode, select kernel to flash, select the .elf file extracted before, done.
6) Unplug the phone. Turn on and you will see the doomkernel logo... and now I hope that you finally enter into 4.1.2 firmware without bootloop.
7) To root: you need to copy this file http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to the internal memory.
Turn off. Turn on pushing volume-down repeatedly, now you enter into recovery, now install the supersu zip and reboot.

DAAAAAMN ! -.- :/ DommKernel logo is there, xperia logo, animation, and blocks again, restarts all the time.. I'm really desperate...
Now you have 4.1.2 with the doomkernel and the root, which is the perfect combination to do anything on your device.
If it's working, you can leave the phone in this situation.
Instead if you really want to go back to the original firmware, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334653
Follow the part A using this custom number 1265-9144 (t-mobile Germany). Remember you need root for this process!
Relock the bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924221
Plug to Sony PC Companion and Sony will re-install your original firmware.
My advice is to leave the phone unlocked and rooted with CE firmware

Damn.
Reflash 4.3 with Flashtool.
Download this Doomkernel: http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=VC1Eb29NS2VybmVsLXYwOQ==
Be aware: don't use the old doomkernel, but this one (v.09) that is specific for 4.3
Flash the elf file, as you did before.
Now you have doomkernel logo and you can enter into 4.3.
Now root it as I suggested in the previous posts (turn off, turn on pushing vol-down, flash suspersu zip, reboot).
Try.

Well dude im a bit confused now
The recovery mode is working too ( volume down pressing repeadetly", "Team recovery..." didnt catch up the rest of the name, but cant boot into the phone as i said.
Soo, what should i do now? You are my one and only HOPE !!
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.
Sent from my C6903 using xda premium
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.....
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~

Thanks for your tip but I have already tried and still get struck in bootloop.
No .534 FTF has booted until now and I have used 6 of them already...
An update is that I have rooted 4.4.4 and installed recovery...
can someone tell me where can I get .534 zip to flash as the files I have are giving me verification error on TWRP.
Thanks in advance...
I have tried to use NUT fix but the files are not available for downloading.
I would really appreciate if someone can direct me to the correct path. I am almost giving up now...

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

Thx for the tip but its not working.
My SIm was only detected once thats when I installed .518 but it lasted for a day and got held. When I force restarted the phone it was again missing baseband.
Now it isnt booting into .518 or .534.
Experts am I asking something that is un-do-able...
Guys shall I give up fixing this phone
I loved this dead beauty...
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.

I have realized that the phone does not shuts down with the power button in any bootable rom. Also sometimes the baseband does appear soon after installation but it disappears as sim is inserted. Can someone plz help me understand whats going wrong. I really love this phone...
