I updated my xperia z1(c6906) to 5.1.1 using flashtool. i am from bahrain and the ftf file was US generic. after update my phone shows Invalid sim message. I tried installing older firmwares but still no use. Rest everything works fine.
what should i do?
I had installed c6903 ftf file so does it effect the phone?

If your phone is 6906 than you should only use 6906 firmwares to update your phone.
Hasn't their been a update notification on your phone?

I managed to get the original customization version for middleeast, after installing its the same.
I tried checking for an update via Sony companion. it says i have the recent update. is something wrong with the sim card reader in phone?

I don't know. I think it has something to do with the baseband maybe.
I never had the situation that I flashed a wrong firmware to my phone.
Are you sure you downloaded the firmware you needed?
Have you tried the repair function from pc Companion?

Hello
I'm new here and I don't know what can I do to fix my phone, please help!
I have a Z1 C6903 from HK and suddenly during a phone call my phone lost signal and now it can't connect to my carrier network.
I tried a factory reset, upgrading with SUS and flashing original HK ftf but still have the issue.
I also tried flashing different ftf files (.290 , .257 , .534(NUT) , .531 , .681 and .757), sometimes I lost my IMEI but I figured out how to recover it, however, I recovered my IMEI but I still have no signal at all.
Could it be physical damage on my phone?
I hope I can fix it with software.
Any ideas?
I don't know what else can I do
Thank you!
you tried many ways, but did you try another sim card, lol?

Lol, yes I tried another sim card and it doesn't work, I also tried my sim card in other phones and works as a charm!
I noticed that this happened to other people and they fix it with SUS or flashing other ftf, I guess I'm not that lucky
Thanks!
After downgrade via flashtool did you try OTA update? Sometimes it's lose imei when flash older firmware, but after OTA update imei will restore. Hope it can help

Did You try to manually flash each ROM following the release versions, from the oldest to the newest without skipping any build number (else You won't get signal and IMEI)?

That's not needed and the OP says he does have IMEI so that's not the problem anyway

I flashed stock ftf, I'm not flashing a custom ROM.
Do you mean to flash .518, then 5.34 then .257 then .290 and so on to .757?
Thank!
Yes, I do have IMEI but I don't have signal, it's weird!
I had this problem with my old galaxy note 2
The radio chip most likely broken.
Contact sony for warranty if any left!

When I insert my sim it shows my a message that says "SIM card could not be read".
Could the problem be the sim card reader ??
Thanks!

Hi, I don't think is the radio chip, because I can see my carrier signal using the app Network Signal Info.
And it seems thta is not SIM locked, no X on the left. I don't know what can be the issue
Sorry to dig up this, but have you figured that out?
Were you to get signal again????
If so, what did you do?
hey did you figure it out? i am having the same problem! though it occured after flashing a custom rom. i noticed lost imei but then i recoverd it. now i have tried almost every ftf and even SUS. imei appears but shows no sim card inserted
I updated my to 4.4.4 via Sony PC Companion and then rooted it with easyrootool and installed the dualrecovery. Everything seemed fine but after the first reboot i noticed that the there is no cellular connectivity. Wifi and Bluetooth work and the sim is recognized but the the phone says'inavlid card'. The phone sim unlocked. Not only that but my phone doesn't want to take pictures anymore. The camera doesn't focus and when I press the camera button it does nothing. Also when I connect the phone to the computer and try to copy somthing the windows explorer doesn't respond either way. I tried to repair the software via Pc Companion but it gave me the same result. To be clear the bootloader is locked and there was no sim lock but when i enter the service info i get this. Please anyone that can help ?
You tried with different SIM card?
Or just try to reinsert SIM card.
Try to go to recovery and wipe cache (both cache)
If that doesn't help, flash ftf again and test everything before you root device.

If it's still not working - I would flash last good ftf (be sure that one worked before)
Test everything...
If everything is working, flash 4.4.4 ftf but exclude baseband files....
Then check is it O.K...
And yeah...full wipe is something you should do now...
You have to get rid of old files...

Who knows...
Something in flashing process screwed firmware...
I'm sure everything will be OK after new flashing...
Signal could be problem again, that's why I suggested - flash ftf without baseband files. -
So...
Flash older ftf (the one that was working before)
Test to be sure everything is working fine.
Flash new fw without baseband files.
Test it...
I'm using Generic DE or my country fw.
That's something you should do, Singapore, China or similar fw could be problem in EU or US...

If you have your carrier / country ftf, flash that first to test and to have right baseband/modem/radio files..

Try to downgrade to older rom, if then everything works fine then you may try upgrading again.

So i tried to flash the FTF file with flashtool but i get an error
ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.
INFO - Ending flash session
I don't know what that means but the process is still running. Should I disconnect the phone or leave it?
EDIT: I tried it again with a different cable and it worked..now I have to see if it worked
@funky0308
I'm on firmware .757 now and the camera is working again and I can copy things from an to the phone but the problem with the signal is still there. It says that the simcard is invalid, but like i said the phone was sim unlocked
Try the simcard in another phone or try another sim card in your phone so that you can eliminate the chance of having a defective simcard

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]
my xperia z1 suddenly have no signal.
i already tried my sim to other phone, it works perfecting and have a full bar of signal.
i also tried other sim network to my z1, but it also indicates no signal.
i tried to repair it using pc companion, but the problem is still the same.
i also tried hard/factory reset my z1, still same problem.
i can access the sim option and function, but still no signal.
i also try using simcard reader app, it can read my sim card and i can view my simcard information.
so i think my phone simcard reader is functional.
I need your help to solve my problem on my only phone. thank you:crying::crying::crying:
Did you drop the phone or hurt it physically? Sounds like a hardware issue to me.

@lonesome10
I tampered once with the radios and selected USA bands, and had no signal but clean reflashing a rom brought it back to life.
You said though, you already tried repairing it through PC Companion so I don't know if you can solve the problem.
If you have flashtool, try flashing an ftf from here and see if that helps, otherwise I can't think of anything else.

In that case I am out of ideas too, and close to thinking it is a hardware issue.
Because in my case flashing a clean ftf brought it back.

i want to downgrade my phone of software.. is that possible? sorry i am new on flashing an android phone..
@lonesome10
Yes it is possible. You wrote you managed to flash an ftf from xperifirm, which means you downloaded the files, and used to flashtool to create an ftf. Correct?
Now go to xperia z1 general section and in there, there is a thread containing stock ftfs.
Download one (preferably a kitkat 14.4.a.0.108), and flat it through flashtool again. Do not check anything in flashtool, that means wipe everything and do a clean flash.
See how that goes.
@yngwie_m,
Yes I manage to flash it by downloading a firmware from xperifirm then create a FTF using flashtool and I flash my phone.
If I download a firmware (preferably a kitkat 14.4.a.0.108), do I have to use flashtool to create a FTF file then flash my phone? or I don't have to create a FTF file and directly flash my phone with the firmware I downloaded using flashtool. I am from the Philippines, is there a firmware that is made for PH user? What is generic/unbranded or branded FW? what is rom and kernel?
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I don't have experience with flashing using different firmware.. again thank you for your effort to solve my phone problem. I appreciate it so much!!!
@lonesome10
On the 3rd page of Xperia Z1 General subforum, there is a thread called "[FTF] C6902 & C6903 & C6906 & C6943 FTF Mega Collection".
On the first post it has all stock uprooted ftfs.
So find which variant you have (C6902, C6903, C6906, etc) and download the corresponding ftf. Any Generic or Global ftf will do.
You will be downloading an .ftf file so no need to create it. Just flash it through flashtool.
Don't worry about roms and kernels. You have to make the phone work again for starters.
Branded is an ftf that contains stuff from a brand, like Vodafone or o2 or whatever.
Unbranded is a clean ftf as given from Sony to carriers.
So to sum up, for starters go to that thread and get an ftf to flash through flashtool.
To check your variant, see the phone package or in dialer press *#*#7378423#*#* and in Service Menu go to Service info -> Model info to see which one you have and download appropriate ftf.
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#*#*

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..

Put a stock rom back on and send it back to Sony for repair
