Model d5833 : Flashtool with SIMLOCK checked and no backup

Hello everyone,
I need your help because I have a big problem. I have a sony z3 compact model d5833, and I used flashtool to install sony concept (link from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706).
They wrote in the tutorial to check SIMLOCK in flashtool in my version of flashtool v0.9.22.2, checking SIMLOCK means flashing simlock.ta when before it meant excluding the file.
Therefore, my phone can't recognize my sim card anymore (it's written invalid sim card, and I have no network).
I tried flashing back the old firmware, doing a factory reset, flashing concept without SIMLOCK but nothing works.
I even tried this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/rooting-status-unknown-sim-card-camera-t3279419) but my flashtool didn't write anything in the file registeredDevices. Could you please help me???
Thank you in advance.

Send it to Sony service

Still me.
I've just checked into my Flashtool folders and I have found a lot of backups, but they stopped around April.
I suppose before this damn 0.9.22.x the backups were automatic. I can't understand why they disabled this useful feature if this kind of risks are still possible.
My questions:
1) Do you remeber if you used Flashtool in the past on another PC? Pheraps a laptop? Or something like that... in order to resume an old backup.
2) Have you ever made a backup TA? Most of people make it the first time they root the phone. I mean this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
I'm still not sure if it can be useful for you, as it was thought to resume DRM keys in TA partition, but if the partition is all backed-up from this tool, we can try to get what we need from that

Yeah I had flashtool on another device but it did exactly the same, no backup. And I don't have a backup no... Do you think there is another way or is it completely bricked?
Thank you.

If you've never rooted with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
which suggests to make a backup TA (but you've already said you didn't), then it's better you go to Sony assistance.
Flash the correct firmware of your device before repairing.
Is your phone still under warranty? If yes, I think they fix for free
PS I wrote into XDA Flastool topic my disappointment about the chance to brick the phone so easily, for what it's worth

Finally they've listened to me and released a new Flashtool version with "simlock" stuff properly hidden.

I doing great, The phone shouldn't have been locked itself on pixel experience, since only way to lock it is on official global/china MIUI rom.
try downloading different version of mi flash tools (maybe a older one) download latest fastboot rom again and try flashing it again.
here it is video for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1jHh4MnXs0
you may need to connect edl points.

Download qcn rebuilder tool and use that

EDIT QCN
EDIT QCN
Introduction​This can be useful in case you loose your IMEI and you don't have a QCN backup to restore. Then the only option is to edit the IMEI stored in other's QCN backup to put your IMEI and restore the QCN file in your device. The most common reason for lost IMEI is selecting in QFIL the option to "Erase all before download" which erase absolutely everything when you install a ROM, QCN of course included.
0. Pre-requisites
- A QCN file. You can ask someone to share his with you or just download this "genericIMEI.qcn" file.
- "Qualcomm IMEI rebuilder" downloaded (from here) and extracted.
1. Run IMEIRebuilder.exe
2. Open the QCN file
Press the "Open file..." button, browse to select the QCN file and press "Open".
You will see random numbers loaded in IMEI1 and IMEI2
3. Edit IMEI1 and IMEI2 to put yours
4. Select "Rebuild"
Once it's done you can close the IMEI rebuilder software, re-execute it and load the edited to file to check that now it contains your IMEI

I want to ask something, now that the imei is repaired, is it okay if I install a custom rom? my friend installed oneos, it was very nice and most of the 11 problems were solved, if I install it with twrp, will the imei go back?

Sure i think, custom roms dont break IMEI...
If it does just make a backup of ur fixed qcn then just flash that if it breaks

Question Changing ROM to MIUI Global

Hi everyone. I recently got my Mi 11 Ultra with Chinese ROM (I'm guessing, from settings I can see MiUI 12.5.2.0). I'd like to change to latest version of MIUI global ROM. What would be the safest way to do so? I'd like to backup everything first before doing so (I haven't done this before) just in case something goes wrong. Also is there any up to date guide on how to do so? I did notice few posts related to that but I'm not sure if they are up to date. Best regards.

You must have an unlocked bootloader.
You need to upload the tgz file with the rom. You will do it through Miflash. Just remember to select the clean all option in Miflash. Don't block the bootloader.
As for the backup, you better not do it depending on what you want to restore. The copy from the Chinese version of the rom can not work well in the global version.
Copy your important stuff on PC then back to your Global Rom phone.

Thanks for a quick response, so mi flash is on this location right (https://www.xiaomiflash.com/)? And for the roms is it safe to use them from this link (https://c.mi.com/global/miuidownload/index). Any other advice just so I don't end up with a dead phone? Also do I unlock bootloader also via MiFlash?

I recommend this version of miflash
https://www.xiaomiflash.com/downloads/MiFlash20180528.zip
Also watch carefully the movie
fastboot files for miflash
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
in the rom file you will have to delete the ARB line
as for unlocking the bootloader, the Xiaomi website is for this.
Apply for unlocking Mi devices
en.miui.com
I have uploaded global 10 times, and there were no problems at all.

I've tried using this miflash link but it was password protected so I get latest version. I did follow the guide and one of other videos from same author for unlocking. I got to this error

I'm not sure should I wait now or what . I did try logging in via same number on my browser and on utility and on phone, and also ID of account is the same and I can see phone number as recovery option and my ultra under device. Got no idea why phone number wouldn't be associated. One thing I can see when I turn on my phone is SMS service can't be activated, and also find my phone seems to be available only in China (seen a post somewhere that it needs to be turned on). MiUnlock seems to show option to add account and device everytime I enter it

First you need to unlock the bootloader. To do this, you must correctly add the Mi account to the phone and wait for 2 - 3 weeks

Yup that's what I tried but I can't even get to the period of 168h. Probably since SIM seems to not be activated. Even though I can send and receive SMS normally

Ok, managed to get it working, I've deleted my old account and created a new one directly from phone and got to the timer
I can now normally use my phone for that period of time?

Yes. You can normally use it. Just not able to unlock the Bootloader and because of that no root / Magisk and stuff. But you can still debloat with ADB if you want.

Question Sp flash tool and mi flash tool problems in bootlooped Redmi note 10 5g.

I have a camellia device, I tried to use a custom rom(pixel experience) the other day and some time later I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I mistakenly flashed "camellian" rom instead of "camellia" rom through PE recovery.
Since then the device kept bootlooping.
So while troubleshooting, I tried to use the Sp flash tool.
For the roms I get them from "mifirm.net". I downloaded all the necessary drivers that I can find.
But the first version of SP flash tool, Sp flash tool v6,
the app asks for the "download-XML" file which I can't find ( screenshot in pic1).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I downloaded another version.
In this version though, the app doesn't recognize the xml file and gives the error
"5011; the scatter file has incorrect format! Please ask for help!"
I googled the reason why it gives me the error but the fix that people are giving didn't seem to fix this particular case. (pic 5,6,7).
.
.
.
I can't find any other fixes so I gave up on Sp flash tool.
I tried to use "mi flash tool" this time with Global rom.
Again, wrongly I flashed it with the Qualcomm settings a bunch of times and also got the bootloader locked. But the flash got successful somehow?
(I can't provide any pics because I am making this thread now after I've sent the phone to the Xiaomi service and I didn't take screenshots before sent it)
At this point I noticed that the stock recovery is back into the device.
Anyway, I used some 'shady' workarounds to get it unlocked again and when it was unlocked the phone said something like "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted".
It went away when I flash the stock rom with Mi flash tool again. ( I still used the Qualcomm settings)
When it's done it's still bootlooping but at least the "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted" message is gone.
I tried again a couple of times with different versions of roms; miui 12, 13, 14, global, china, india.
It was after that I discovered that there is "MTK" option in Mi flash tool.
I selected the "scatter, auth, and DA" files in it. But there seem to not have the "refresh" buttom to detect the device. I tried plugging into it with Fastboot mode and again while pressing volume down, up, and all buttons. Nothing showed up. (pic.8)
So what do you guys think? Do you have answers to any of the problems that I got during this journey? Please share your thoughts because there is no answers of a lot of my questions when I was trying to google it. I could not even use reddit because as you know, that site is under strike and apparently dead for the moment. I would love to know what experienced people have to say about this post. ^_^
