[Q] SIMLOCK - Xperia Z1 C6903

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

Thanks you for the support.
But one question left, always if my phone reboots i need to do the setup wizard again, set language and...
And the language also changes, i set it to dutch but on restart its back to english and i get the setup wizard?
Weird.

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.

[Q] PC Companion, incorrect SW Version on phone

Hi,
I have a Z1 C6903, rooted with unlocked boot loader running stock rom 4.4.4 with Trinity 2.9 Kernel.
Current SW 157, which I flash using Flashtool ( C6903_14.4.A.0.157_SG.ftf ) from SW 133.
When plugged in PC Companion says update available 14.4.A.0.157, yet I am on the latest version.
Weirder still , says my phone is currently on 133. :silly:
If anyone has a similar problem or a fix please help.

Need c6606 .283 firmware

hi guys,
im in need of the .ftf for my c6606. i have searched everywhere and cant find a damn thing for the 10.5.a.1.283 firmware. before my phone officially got the update for KK i decided to flash the customized firmware and it changed my phone to c6616. when trying to restore my phone it says that there is no firmware to download in pc companion. the reason i want to start fresh is my phone has issues with mobile data sometimes and even on wifi, data just wont load.
thanks guys

Follow part 2 of my guide to package your own FTF using Flashtool. Just make sure your installed version of Flashtool is up to date.
Once you've done it, you can share it in the general section to help others looking for it.

Thanks for the reply. I want to flash the baseband that is for the c6606. By doing it that way would there be any issues? Or should I just root the phone and change things in the build prop so that it says it's a c6606 and hopefully it will update that way

Just try what he said,i did that yesterday and all went well,just see if you do it right!

So after trying a few firmwares I had issues with phone kept restarting. So I wiped everything and flashed back to the available c6606 firmware and got ota for 4.3 after that. Now that I'm on 4.3 it says I'm on the most up to date fw in PC companion and on phone. Sony website says most up to date is the .283 KitKat fw. Any reason why I can't update?

Hi! I need some help my Xperia ZR c5502 4.1.2 got Unknown IMEI and baseband after flashing …
With no backup
ONLY ftf build 10.1.1.A.1.310 is working but always no Wifi and Signal I read some threads that it's because of the unknown baseband and IMEI
This is some things I tried
Unlock/relock bootloader root and install cwm recovery
tried Flashing Different Xperia ZR FTF with even Different Country using flashtool still no luck always got stuck in Bootloop
Wipe date/cache/partition No luck
Repair with PC Companion still no luck stuck in bootloop
Is there any other possible way to fix IMEI and baseband without bringing it to the repair center?

Did u unlock bootloader? and while relocking, did u do it properly? DRM keys and TA partition restore?
And why are you still on 4.1.2? did you try 4.2.2 or 4.3 or 4.4.2 roms for your specific region?
I think you might have lost DRM keys or TA

I'm stuck @ 4.1.2 tried other 4.1.2 but only 10.1.1.A.1.310 build is working on my phone other build always ends up in bootloop
tried 4.2.2 or 4.3 or 4.4.2 all stuck in bootloop.
Yes I lost my lost DRM keys and TA because of flashing without backup
Is there a possible way to restore it without backup?

Sorry mate. you cant get back DRM and TA once u lost it. its different for every phone.
Check the service menu: dial *#*#7378423#*#* (i.e. *#*#SERVICE#*#*) and choose 'Service tests' > 'Security'. If your DRM keys are okay, both MARLIN and WMLA will show up as [Key OK]. If they are erased, they would show up as [Unknown Error].
DRM keys are unique for each device, so they are not contained in any firmware download. Once they are erased, there is no way to get them back, unless you made a backup of the Trim Area (TA) before unlocking your bootloader.

You should have researched before unlocking the bootloader. But thats history.
What you can do now is flash any custom roms. Check ZR android dev section. there you will find some custom roms based on 4.4.4 which needs to be flashed on unlocked bootloader :good:
sorry for your loss

Now I learned my lesson always backup >.<
Thanks! I tried intalling some custom 4.4.4 ROMS and it worked my WIFI is now working even with still UNKNOWN IMEI and Baseband much better than before with no WIFI now my only problem is the NO Service ON Simcard >.<

My guess is that as you have lost DRM and TA, IMEI is showing unknown. Thats why your operator is rejecting the service even though you have inserted sim card. try some other custom roms n kernels. :good:

Hei friend
Why don't you update or flash Lolipop via flashtool.? A clean flash will solve ur problem. Make sure u have selected ur regional ftf

U can easily take kernel only from an ftf bro. Like i said download one ftf and flash it via flashtool. While flashing exclude all except Kernel.sin and FOTAKernel.sin. Done..

dude, my phone got this issue too, if you've solved this, can you share it to me dude? because i am stuck with bootloop issue to when flashing stock fw!
