I have had my phone rooted and am using GingerDX v022. I have changed my baseband to 015.
I applied to get my netowkr unlock code off my operator and they sent it to me. But when I tried to enter the unlock code, it would not accept it. Has this got anything to do with the fact that I have changed my phone?
If so, how to I change it all back?
Thank you.
ummmm what do you mean changed your phone?? what phone did you request the code for??? codes are only meant for the device that you requested it for.....if you mean rooted, mine was rooted when i put the network unlock code in, did you write it down correctly??? you can ask them for it again, it will be on they're system
Changed my phone as in, new rom, baseband etc. I was on the phone to the company, and double checked the code was the right one, which it was. They told me if it didn't work I'd have to send it away to get flashed.
I then assumed that the rom/baseband/root hace somehow interfered with my unlocking process.
swap your kernel to stock, and go back to stock OFFICAL rom, and input the code...i had to do that for the X10 mini pro.
Okay, thank you so much for the help. Would you be able to tell me how to do those two things? It'd be a great help as it'd been a while since I've done this kind of thing. And where to get them?
flashtool for flashing kernels etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
and the thread for reverting etc

Just a fyi in case you have a similar issue next time.
This kind of queries are to be posted in the Q&A section instead of the General section.

Which do I do first, the stock kernal or stock rom? Do I need to change the baseband back?

Using Flashtool or SEUS or PCC will restore both stock rom and kernel simultaneously.
As for baseband, try with 015 first, if it doesn't work try 006.

Okay, and if install a custom rom again, will it undo my network unlock??

Technically it wouldn't, but if it does, just network unlock again.

Okay thank you so much for the help. And in future I will post this in the proper section.
Do I just download the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM in this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240) and and flash it using Flashtool or SEUS and then I can enter my code?
you WILL NOT lose network unlock, and not flashing stock BEFORE using seus has been known to brick phones. hence me saying flash stock kernel 1st. you can download the 1.6 version which i know 100% is in english, the 2.1 isnt in english and is pain in the ass
this is the 2.1 you want for flashtool

You have to flash it using Flashtool...
That's about it, afterwards just enter your code.
If it doesn't work flash the 006 baseband and try again.
Btw, hitting the thanks button is more appropriate than posting thanks.

I know I'm being a pain in the ass but things have to be spelt out for me. What do I download first? Stock kernal and then flash with flashtool and then put the 2.1 ROM you linked to on my phone and that's it? Can I flash both the stock kernal and stock rom using flashtool?
no no your not the 2.1 update is because it aint 100% english yes you can flash BOTH using flashtool. either the 2.1 update i linked OR the 1.6 at top of the thread

Ok! Which one of these files is the stock kernal though?
(http://www.mediafire.com/?8bce4dx39e4vp)
It's confusing.
sorry i was meant to say, you can flash the big download INSTEAD of the smaller one to revert, they include the kernel if i remember rightly. but this is stock kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?ei7ecyzf5wc48qb (small one JUST kernel) i tend to flash that one to be on safe side BEFORE reverting to stock with the 1.6 or 2.1 big download

okay, and after i flash this file to my phone, which file do i flash to it?
Step 1: flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?ei7ecyzf5wc48qb
Step 2: Pick your poison between the 1.6 or 2.1 download
Step 3: INSERT a simcard thats not meant for your phone in
Step 4: Insert the code
Step 5: you should be unlocked

2. how to back up EFS ? please help me .

You can use Speedmod kernel or NoteCore.
Try searching for EFS backup in the forum, you can find it easily I'm sure.

I dont know why you get error but you could try flash gingerbread rom and just use the galaxy s unlock. Of course you need custom kernel for the purpose of acquiring the CWM recovery in order to flash the zip file added by criskelo.

As of now we just have 4.1 (JB) and you can update your Note by flashing one of the available JB custom roms (make sure to follow instructions properly, if you choose to flash one)
Since you are on custom Kernel so OTA and Kies is a no go.
Hello guys I'm Toni, and I'm very new to all this custom smarthphone stuff world...
So what I did is this: I flashed cwm from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918966

Flash a stock ftf via flashtool or repair your phone via pccompanion.

Do I have to use this flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943886, or i can use official emma flashtool?

Any problems, just let me know
Yeah I cam vouch for that, find the ICS tft, if you look on the stickied topics at the top of the q+a section and use flashtool you will have no problems going back. Once you read it make sure that you use the .195 generic and then once booted do the ota. 233 . Format the phone once installed and all good.
Best of luck mate, there is plenty of people doing it at the moment until they bring out bug fixes for jellybean.
Any problems get in touch.

My z1 is the China edition, it dose not contains Google accounts ,Google play and Google service framework etc. For me it's unacceptable, so I rooted it,and use root explorer copy these apks to system from the gapps pack.Now almost everything works fine, except two issues. One is every time when I reboot the phone, it always makes me choose the languages. Another is z1 cannot be found in the Google play's device list.Does anyone know what make these happened and how to fix it?
Sent from my L39h using xda app-developers app
Rather than extracting each apks from gapp, it'd be better to just flash the entire gapp.zip from cwm recovery.
So if I were you:
1. Flash cwm, if you haven't done so already.
2. Factory reset the phone.
3. Flash gapp via cwm recovery.
That's true. But flash the cwm must be unlocked. Will the bravia engine be lost when I unlocked the device?It's my first time use Sony's device, I don't known much about it.

Well you can just flash CWM recovery via ROM Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager) once you're rooted.
In terms of the Bravia Engine, just do a TA back up (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598)
BTW, there're reports that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera (http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/14/unlocking-xperia-z1-bootloader-breaks-camera-functionality/). So you'd have to back up TA anyway.
If you want a good stock rom just flash a ftf with flashtool from another region. You even do not need to unlock or whatever to get gapps then, just flash a unrestricted region!

Thanks guys,I already backup the TA,but I don't know what does it use for? I'll try the rom manager as well!And flash another region's stock rom will it be bricked?

Some have reported losing camera when flashing stock rom for another region. So you need to backup TA before you flash anything or you take the chance of losing your camera.

Yes exactly, you can flash FTF WITHOUT unlocking. FTF flashing with flashtool is same as flashing with Sony original flashing software, but Flashtool lets you override the region settings, so you can debrand/crossflash another region etc etc

Correct, China version has no google apps. Either the Taiwan or Hong Kong version will have it. If you could upload either one in FTF format that would be greatly appeciated.

To flash this copy the FTF file to flashtools/firmware folder and then just flah it, no root nothing else needed !
Just connect device in flashmode (green led -> Power off, connect usb while holdung volume down) and flash it!

You mean for C6903 right? because as it seems there is C6902 (like in CN) and in TW, but in HK i can only find Model C6903, and SOMETIMES these models differ on little parameters, like kernel and can cause unwanted issues!

Please note that those kernels are from Z1 compact roms, which SHOULD NOT make a difference. Could someone with a Z1 test this out?

Most likely..
but you can always flash a 108 kernel then root and then flash the 157 kernel again.
Could you put the OTA update on mega then post the link on the original thread for munjeni so he can have a look at it?

kernel downgrade to .108
hi everybody, i have a z1c with .157 kernel and want to downgrade to .108 for newroot. what i found, is this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-d550314-4-0-108latest-t2862578
i just want to doublecheck, that this is the right rom to take out the kernel for the flashtool. if it is, maybe you want to add the link to the sticky first page, as i guess more people will want to know, where to get the .108 from.
another stupid question: if i only downgrade the kernel, will i get back to .157 with the sony ota update or do i need to flash it also with flashtool.
thanks a lot, megic
