Hi guys. I am dealing with some serious problems with this Xperia Z1.
First of all my friend gave me the Z1 of some dude. That guy was modifying it - rooting, bootloader and everything - and said that NFC just stopped working. He tried so many roms and different configurations and nothing worked.
Finally he just ended up with returning to stock. And NFC still didn't work.
Then I gave it a try. Same procedure - root, unlock, custom recovery, custom roms, kernels etc.
Nothing.
I've read about renaming the usf folder to usf1 to get the NFC to work.
Nope. Phone just creates his own usf folder after reboot. I deleted that folder multiple times and it always comes back.
Finally I got to a point where I must force shutdown the phone because it just won't shutdown on its own or reboot.
Wifi stopped working on KitKat - on Lollipop the switch just hangs for about 30 seconds and then turns on.
What is also interresting I can't enter the Configuration option in service menu because it hangs and force closes.
Model is Xperia Z1 6902
Help me, please. I have no idea what to do.
Hi,
Seems something is wrong with the device wireless. Since neither the WiFi, nor the NFC is working, my S4 already showed a similar problem and was solved flashing another modem, have you tried flashing another baseband on your Xperia Z1?
All the best,

It turned out that I was flashing firmwares for a wrong model. It's not 6902 but 6903...
Fortunately I got rid of all the problems except the NFC ofcourse.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Can you give me more details about how is the NFC behaving? You press the button and it doesn't turn on? It turns on but it doesn't works? Because since the other wireless features are working I wonder if it's a hardware problem.
All the best,

It's not possible to turn on the switch. But I don't mess with this bullcrap anymore; the guy took back his Z1. Probably it's just a hardware problem. Case closed.

Do a clean flash with flashtool, then install the rom again.

tried that on 4 roms...is my phone broken or something? Wi-fi works fine pre rom, but when installed it just wont do anything. at first I thought it was just the Honami engine brands but I just tried another off brand forgot the name...some modification for the generic Firmware with a few add-ons...and still the wi-fi won't work.
Is this a new issue? or has someone been through this? Clean flash didn't work.
makes me sad face cant findd the solution anywhere...my ocd wont let me keep the rom knowing that it wont work lol.
So... does wifi work with a stock rom, but not with a custom rom? or wifi doesn't work at all at this point?
Should pull a logcat and see what your errors are....
Well, I uninstalled the rom, and back to 10.3.1.E.0.191 Wi-Fi works perfectly. But when I install a rom, wifi wont even humor turning on, it just blinks four times then goes back to gray.
I don't know what logcat is, is there a tutorial somewhere for it?
So I ran LOGCAT after viewing a small tutorial.and when It gets to network controller it says
Networkcontroller( 2140) refreshviews: Data not connected!! set no data type icon / roaming
and I get that twice in a row. So do I need to install a file somewhere? is the installed rom just not wifi accessible? what?
hey,
I had 4.2.2 in my 5503. Couple days ago I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 using flashtool, because there wasn't official 4.3 for my region yet . After that, I noticed my led and NFC are dead. Led isn't working (no flash when making pics, not working as a flashight). NFC unchecks just after when I click on it. Tried: downgrade, delete/rename usf (like in xperia z), many others official roms. tried fix and upgrade by SUS and SPCC. No changes. Also tried CM11 4.4, but still led is dead, NFC option can't be even marked. Now I'm on rooted 4.3. Any ideas how to bring them back? And no, backup doesn't exist
waw that's not cool.. do you erase the whole system when you flash?
Made in ZR
Yes. I thought it is better to have clean instal. Habit of installing roms on old phone. Everything else seems to work fine. I'm out of ideas.
hmm it's weird dude. well I suggest :
ensure that you bootloader is locked
do a fresh full flash with all wipes
do a reset in settings > backup & reset
then go into service menu > service tests > flash led
for the service menu, at the stock dialer, type : *#*#7378423#*#*
if it still doesn't work after this, I'm afraid this is hardware related.

Did that many times. To have clear conscience I connected phone to another usb. formated, flashed .67 with wipes. After reset, in service menu led is still dead. connected to pc, updated with SUS to .569. and same story. I'm sure they were working before 1st flash and upgrade. If this is hardware problem, should NFC unchecks itself just after I click on it?
Ehh I suppose, I have to deal with it. There is no cure for my zr
ps. in /system/app/ I can see ncf.apk & nfc.odex only. That's it, right?
well I don't know mate, did you ever unlocked the BL? It may be drm related also

NFC firmware needs update?
I got my ZR a few weeks ago, it came with 4.1.2 on it.
Straight away I hooked it up to PC companion and it updated to 4.2.2, during the first reboot I got a message on the screen for quite a while: "Updating NFC firmware"
I then had problems and thought it was due to 4.2.2, I downloaded & flashed a 4.1.2 ROM, once again, on the first reboot I got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
Then I realized that the problems weren't due to 4.1.2 and flashed 4.2.2 again, once again got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
This might not be much use to you but it seems to me that the NFC firmware needs to match the version of Android you're running.
Sorry, no idea how to update it manually, just thought it's something you might like to investigate.
Maybe start here ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284166
Ilko, yes. BL was unlocked. I had thought, drm can be involved with it. If yes, I'm pretty ***. I don't see any other explanation. many official roms. repairs by sus and companion. checked in buildprop editor, and everything looks ok.
alan573819, when I bought mine it was 4.1.2 also. Couple weeks later upgrated it to 4.2.2. but I don't remember that NFC dialog. I just don't remember, so it doesn't mean I never had it it was long time ago. I know that topic. Believe me, I know them all I'm silent reader xda since se k800i. Always found answers without asking. Until now.. I had to register, because no1 have same problem. with z, there is problem only with NFC (no1 complains about led), and they can fix it by deleting usf. It doesn't work for me. anyway, on 4.2.2 I had no problems with NFC or led. everything worked perfect until I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 with flashtool.
my phone was unlocked, rooted, had .310, .67, .569 for at least 3 different regions, had CM11 4.4, was repaired and upgraded by SUS and Companion. No changes. It just has to have something with drm, because I don't believe that hardware was broken during update. drm can explain it. but.. that's weird if NFC and especially led has something to do with it.
okay, then did your ever relocked it? backed up TA? restored it?
Made in ZR
yes, I have relocked zr.
Like I said before, I didn't make any backups. Didn't expect any problems so I just wiped and flashed my phone. On the other hand- who expects them? . I can risk with my own phone. If I do something for others, I always do backups, double checks etc.
So, I'm having some issues regarding my recently flashed XSP C5302.
Model: C5302
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband version: 8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-18
Build number: 12.1.A.1.201
I'm on locked BL.
Thing is, I flashed it as soon as I got my hands on it due to that annoying flickering screen, tried to downgrade it to 4.2.1. It was the first time I did that, so I went through many tuts to get it right.
At first I flashed a .254 rom, and when I entered the About screen, model had switched to C5303. What I did was follow DoomLord's guide to root it, instal CWR and flashed a deodexed .254 rom for C5302(this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423625). Everything back to normal.
But then I noticed my mobile data wasn't working, so I thought it may have been fault of the deodexed rom. Sooo, I upgraded it AGAIN to 4.3 using PC Companion, just to find out that the mobile issue was not having the APN correctly configured. Sigh.
And well, I'm now stuck again on 4.3, but at least my mobile data package is working. However, it's extremely slow. I mean, I can see the H and H+ icon, but even on H+ it takes ages to send messages and connect. At first I wondered if the baseband had anything to do with it, but when I flashed the rom I checked everything but Kernel and System, so...
So my question is, is it possible that I did something that "damaged" my mobile data connectivity? If so, could somebody please suggest any solution? I must say, my service provider sucks, so it could be their problem too, and I'm just here crying over spilled milk with no reason at all.
Thanks in advance!
Probably your service provider - I must have tried 100's of custom roms and whilst some have meant that data didn't work, this was caused by buggy software, never damage to the phone.

Hey guys,
I have a Z1 C903, which doesn't work as a wifi tether nor bluetooth tether. I can turn it on, and other devices can see it, however when trying to connect, the signal drops completely.
If I wait the signal will restart and become full strength, where I will need to manually connect, which proceeds to the signal disappearing again. I've tried unsecure, wpa2, wpa to which I have no luck either. Devices such as laptop will say limited connection, whereas android tablets and phones will refuse to connect and will say "Saved, secured with WPA2" or something else if i change the password method.
I've tried searching for any reports of wifi tethering not working, but the problems seem to be different from my situation.
More details on my device:
It has an unlocked bootloader
Now running Paranoid android
Problem occurred on stock 4.3, nut 4.4 (I assumed it was a glitch on Sony's drivers, and have waited for months now for a patch)
Could a faulty TA do this?
Any ideas?
Am I f***ed?
Cheers

Flash your phone by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system
It should solve your problem
And of course first re-lock your BL and flash to stock Rom

Sorry about late reply, I am out in urban areas without internet connection. I'll try doing this tonight.
Am I right in assuming all Z1 CM ROMs have this problem, if I must install a stock-based ROM?

Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you
You should use stock rom

You can try to change the name of your phone (Network SSID) to a simpler form instead of default.
I got it working
I got it working thanks to your suggestion, Saeed.
I flashed the stock ftf from the mega thread and that restored my tethering capabilities. I then proceeded to reinstall the ParanoidRom and now the tethering works as well.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'd assume something went wrong when upgrading to 4.3 and the problem stayed when I then upgraded again to 4.4 and then to paranoid.
Thanks
Hello Friends,
I am sorry to create this thread if already a discussion going on under the same topic( I am that much frustrated as well as desperate). I updated my set to 10.5.1.A.0.292 few weeks back & when it reboot I get a popup window saying nfc firmware update error 000004 which is present till the date. Then it starts a new issue like loosing the signal and reinserting the sim card rectifies the issues at first. Few days back it completely lost the signal & a sign appeared on top right corner like a red "X' mark with sim card.I tried to reinsert the sim and when I does the set shows 'sim card inserted , restarting' but after reboot again no signal, when i removes the sim again it popup as 'sim card removed, restarting'.
I tried many other sim cards. Result is same though all are working in other phone. I tried every thing starting from factory reset to flashing using PCC as well as Flash tool but still the problem persist. When I flashed CM 11 and searched the set shows all the available networks ( Though no signal was showing in status bar) but fails to register in any of them. Any idea what happened to my set and is it curable. Please help it doesn't have warranty.

does it work for CM11? maybe there is something wrong with your hardware, check what does it display on baseband, maybe try a reflash once again.

Hello Zennis thanks for the reply. I tinstalled cm 11 on it and then also there is no signal bar in the status bar but under mobile operator option i was able to check the network and all the available network were showing there but when i tried to connect my service provider it failed. I dont think there is a hardware problem coz i use it that much careful and hardly 5 minutes before this issue i attended a call.
Looking forward for your valuable reply.
I think its a baseband problem.... I previously faced problem like no signal,no imei,no wifi, etc...then i flashed different version of stock .ftf
And my problem was solved.

2, mind, to see the folder "Program Data" you should enable the view hidden folder option in window
3, I made a ftf bundle as per his guide and flashed it. Wola it succeeded:good:.. Now I am using my set without a hitch for last 48 hrs.

Hi puneet its sad to know that you too are in same situation. As I said in my post the unit was functioning for about several weeks and suddenly it fell into no network state again and this time all my trials went vain. I just sold that unit at a cheaper price to a mobile repairing shop. i dont know what they have done with it. In my opinion dont waste your energy for xperia crap.
Thank you & sorry that i cant help you.
