"no SIM card detected" after using Flashtool - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello World,
As I'm a stupid boy, I've used flashtool to downgrade a Xperia Z to a rootable firmware Xperia Z_10.3.1.A.2.67_SFR 4.2.2.ftf
I've then used rootkitXperia_20140719 and XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer
Reboot, every thing seems ok except that my SIM card is no more detected. "Please insert a SIM card and restart your phone".
The SIM card works well in another phone. But I've never used it in the Xperia Z. IMEI is still correct in Xperia.
Why am I stupid ? Because I don't have any backup. So, what could I do now ? I've try touse flashtool to flash other stock roms or baseband without success. :crying:

Really stupid. I found what I've done wrong: I've used Flastool fastboot mode on locked bootloader...
Any idea to solve ?

Me too

Did you find a solution?????

No

Yes, I found a solution: The SIM card was not well inserted. Change the side when inserted (electronic part should back oriented) and everithing works well.

[Q] Lost network & relocked BL?

Hello,
I've a weird problem with my Xperia SP. Today i wanted to get back to rom based on stock rom to get miracast feature.
I downloaded newest existenz rom and williams kernel for stock based roms. Installation went fine system booted ok and everything worked fine. After some time phone turned off and didn't wanted to start. Only flashmode worked. I've decided to download stock .205 CE1 rom and flash it.
It booted up, sim card was recognized(had to write PIN). After that network was not found. Signal with red "X". I've tried to manually register to network but i could not.
Next thing is that after flashing stock rom fastboot mode stopped working. Service menu shows that Bootloader can not be unlocked even that it was unlocked before and flashtool(BLU option) shows that it is still unlocked. Flashtool also shows Bootloader: NOT_ROOTABLE.
I have actually no idea what have happend. Now i'm installing stock rom using Sony PC Companion but i think this wont help for network problem.
My main network is PLUS GSM(Poland network).
Could sim card die? It is old type card (almost 10 years) and i had to cut it manually to fit micro sim for the phone.

Use flashtool to flash stock firmware by ftf file. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Use an older one and if that does not work, try one or two more. Hopefully, that will help. Best of luck!

Does it matter which country is it for? I can try some of them but i think that won't help. I've checked other sim card and it was recognized but didn't even ask me for pin. Weird Oo.
If nothing helps i will just flash stock firmware with SEUS and let sony service take care of it, hopefully. Phone still has guarantee.

Regions perhaps. But the thing that does not make sense it that that why did it work before and not now? It should work. Anyway, my SIM was mini too. I, too, had to cut it. It works. Or possibly contact your service provider maybe something is wrong with the SIM. They might have have locked it or something?

If none sim card works on phone then it is IMEI problem or phone itself somehow. I'm trying to flash other roms now. Hopefully it will help if not then sending to service.

I've reflashed stock rom using SEUS and sended phone to sony service. Hopefully they can help. Be careful with Williams Kernel for stock roms. This may be a common bug.
For anyone who had the same problem. Sony exchanged my whole phone with information that mainboard was broken. They said that phone could not be fixed.
Good luck
PS. Topic can be closed i think.

then it must be a hardware problem the best thing you can do is get your phone at a sony verified repair store [another thing you could possibly do is a factory reset but it is not recommended since it will delete your phone's data]

Need a solution from experts..

i have Z3 compact (D5803).
i have used it for a long time.
After installing "D5803_2157_Concept_6.ftf" via flashtool, my z3c lost network.
i have tried tons of methods:
i have flashed "D5803_4.4.4_23.0.A.2.93_TR.ftf", and rooted.
i have flashed "D5803_23.4.A.1.264_1289-4791_R2C.ftf" and rooted.
i have repaired the firmware via Sony PC Companion 2.1
i have repaired the firmware via Xperia Companion
i have tried installing twrp, when i try to install any custom rom, i get an error like this: "this rom is for d5803, d5833 etc etc... but you phone is differen"
i have tried this: http://firmwaremobiletools.blogspot.com.tr/2015/11/how-to-remove-pattern-lock-from-all.html
i have tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/guide-unlock-z3c-international-bands-t3091344
So i can flash any ftf without any problem.
But i can not install anything via twrp. (although i can install twrp)
i can root roms without any problem.
But phone can not connect to network..
it always says "invalid card. emergeny calls only"
- there is no IMEI problem..
Anyne have any solution for my problem?
Thanks...
- i have attached screenshots of *#*#service#*#* and *#*#info#*#*
Any help?

Have you tried cleaning the sim card?
Do you have a different sim card from another phone you can try?
There is also a hardware reset button next to the sim, have you tried that?
I looks like there is some sort of corruption in a system volume, looking at the error states listed.
What was the results from using PC companion to fix? any error messages?
Did you restore your TA partition? That would have been damaged in the flash to 6 concept.
Have you tried finding the right firmware for your country/provider via Xperiafirm, download it, make a tft from the file, then you know you have the correct baseband flashed.
Don't know what else to try, sorry.
Hello, thanks for the answer..

I have tried different sim cards.
I have tried hardware reset button next to the sim.
After PC Companion, there was no error message.
I have tried all different ftf files for my country. (4.4 - 5.1 - 6.0 etc..)
No solution
it always says "invalid card. emergeny calls only"
Put a stock rom back on and send it back to Sony for repair

Does not recognize the sim anymore

Hey I have a question.
I've install an costum rom but now the Phone does not fint the sim card anymore.
I also tried other roms but there was no luck. I also tried the sim card on a other Phone and the Sim card is fine.
I think that is also helpful when i say that i am in germany and so i have a german Sim card.
My question is, is there a way to fix it?
Sorry for my bad english i am from germany.

If I correctly remember the Resurrection Remix thread by rodman01 (meanwhile closed) and the connected Q&A thread covered this topic quite often. I suggest to first search those two threads.

Xperia Z C6603 problems with SIM Card :(

Sometime ago, I used Xperia Flashtool to flash a DE variant of Kitkat for our Xperia Z, but after that flash my phone don't recognize anymore the Sim Card!
It's possible that I've wiped something important? I tried Xperia Companionto restore the stock firmware but the SIM doesn't work anymore.
Have you any ideas of what may gone wrong?
Also the battery may be done, because when it reaches 0% level, when booted up requires to "optimize" apps and that takes about 5minutes/10minutes
Thankx you
It SIM-Locked, you'll need to unlock it over at your carrier. Flashing doesn't lock SIM, it just means it had a tripped firmware.

Previously it had the Central Europe firmware, or maybe Italy's one if it had that. I used my Sim on it before the flashing :/ Now if I put the SIM into it, it reboots because it detects, but when rebooted, no sign of life
Try flashing original firmware ?

I just restore the firmware with Xperia Companion (10.7.A.228.R1E) but I plug into the Sim, it reboots and then it says no SIM inserted, it only reboots if you plug or unplug it
Wifi and NFC works good.

Oh I discovered, it is no the firmware, it's due to Sony's crappy sim tray little piece of plastic, that needs to be changed
I return on this topic because it's still not resolved.
Maybe it's the SIM card slot broken or pins. But the strange thing is that the phone correctly see that I put an actual SIMcard inside it. It reboots and then says just "No Card Inserted".
I've a c6603 Customized IT device, that was for years stuck on A4.4.4 because it didn't received Lollipop via OTA.
Anyway the phone works for everything except for vibrations and SIM support so calls,data etc...
I'am sad for this, I wanted to try A12 for this, it came out with even May 22 security patches!
