My 3g/4g doesnt work after flashing

Yesterday i decided to flash and update to .253, but unfortunately i soft-bricked my device. So, i used sus to get it back, and then i flashed a 434.
I rooted the device, and installed CWM. Then i followed the guide to update with root. So i used CWM to flash .253, and then i used flashtool to flash the ftf. Everything works perfectly except my 3g/4g. It just doesnt seem to work!
Any advice?
Thanks!

Great Success!

[Q] 4.2.2 C6603 OTA availability (NL)?

Does anyone know when/if there will be an OTA update for the new 4.2.2 firmware? I have flashed a generic NL .253 .ftf and I also never received
the other updates OTA. I do want to update, but I want to keep root access. I know I can flash a new generic ftf and gain root access with the perf_event exploit, but just updating OTA is easier I guess. Thanks in advance!

Depends what you mean with easier.
If you're willing to wait another month (just an example) for the OTA then yes it would be easy.
You can flash the T-Mobile NL FTF, gain root, remove root within an hour. I'm quite sure that you will have to wait a lot longer then an hour for OTA to even come out.

A month does seem like an awful long time..

I just did the original Japanese xperia z 4.2.2 update and it is fine it didn't change the language or anything I just flashed it over the old one done. Is even rooted. And It has no issues. So there is already ways on getting the official 4.2.2 update.

Open flashtool
At wipe untick data and cache leave appslog ticked

I guess we can create flashable zip from ftf only, cause not all system files gets updated through ota.
Sent from my C5502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

is the flashable zip already pre-rooted? I mean, if I flash it, will I lose root privileges? I am currently on .244 firmware and rooted and I am just worried that if I flash this, I may lose root.

make a nandroid backup before trying it out. it's just what you get from an OTA flash which retains all user data, so I reckon it does nothing to root

So if I flash the 2.67 firmware, I won't lose my root privileges that I acquired on my .244 firmware? Sorry for the stupid question as this is the first time I will try to flash a zip firmware

could you please explain this steps (Just download the latest Android 4.1.2 firmware and flash using Flashtool) because it will be my first time to play around with firmwares and i dont want to f*** up my phone I want to downgrade my xperia z because from the time on i upgraded to jelly bean 4.2.2 the Phone and Contacs icons disapeared and i think its because i backed up my phone on Titanium Backup two firmwares below 4.2.2 and then after upgrading two times it restored automaticly the backup from the Phone and Contact Apps and the new update doesent support these old versions...
also the icon disappearing thing happened on my previous firmware ( before i upgraded to 4.2.2, so in my first updrage after the firmware i backed up ) always when i turned my phone off , but then i just restored it each time from Titanium Backup, with restore App+Data, and i justed wonderd why this is happening...now when i try to restore it from Titanium Backup it stucks in the loading process..

Brother you cannot restore system apps from different version of android.
Nd to downgrade first download a ftf of your country and download flashtool and install it
Second- paste the ftf in fimewires folder of flashtool folder(c:\Flashtool\firmwares)
Third-open flashtool
Fourth-click lightning botton on the top left. And select flashmode.
Fifth-click the firmware on the left
Sixth-uncheck appslog,cache nd data on the right if downgrading(to prevent bootloop nd this wipes your internal storage)
Seventh-click flash nd wait for sometime till a box pops up saying connect in flashmode.so to connect in flashnode hold volume down and connect in pc nd then let the process finish.
After 5 min it will flash and you will see flashing finished.now you have successfully downgrades yoir fimeware...enjoy

im pretty much a noob so i have some questions..ftf is a firmware like jely bean 4.1.2? what firmware is 2 times below 4.2.2? where can i find an original sony xperia Z firmware like this (i live in germany if this is importand )? and if i downgrade to the firmware i made the backup what should i then do to proceed with an upgrade whithout having problems again? i mean should i erase first titanium backup and then downlaod it after i updated and then make a new backup or something like this? And was my prediction right of what the reason was that the calling app kept disapearing by rebooting my phone?

If i flash the latest version (say the Jelly Bean 4.3) can i then restore from my backup all tha apps+data, not the system apps as the calling app, without having problems? Also can i then restore my Contacts (Contact Storage)? If so please the latest version

First of all bro ftf are firmware packages.and you can get any ftf in general section of xperia z forum but you need to search a bit.
Nd if you are using titanium backup,since 4.3 cannot be rooted for now, you meight need to flash a prerooted rom and then restore your apps/data from.TB..nd for contacts,measage you can use gcloud which can be found in playstore.

Oook..So first i have to install the rom and then flash the ftf? My phone is also rooted now...with changing the rom will it be automaticly unrooted? Also the rom you gave is just for UK i think, or is this irrelevant and just the ftf needs to be from my country? :/ And do i need to create a recovery.img file?
Sorry for these questions..as i said im pretty much a noob on this things
Also gcloud cant find any contact becaus e they are non...they just exist as an titanium backup backupfile which i cant restore because its an system app..:/

Bro it does not matter which country rom you are using,,nd for installation just flash the rom in custom recovery before that wipe everything data,cache nd dalvic cache nd after instillation power off your devuce ns flash the kernel from the ftf but before flashing once read the installation procedure of the rom.

Nd for getting all your contacta you need to flash that firmware. In which you took backup nd root it nd install tb nd restore all contacts nd finally backup in gcloud..

[Q] Is there a manual way to update the S3 to 4.3? (AT&T phone)

Hey guys,
I just bought an unlocked S3 that was on the AT&T network. It is running 4.1.1. I tried looking for updates but it says I'm currently on the latest available firmware (which isn't true obviously). So my question is, can I somehow update it manually? By downloading the firmware file and flashing it myself perhaps? Did a couple of searches but couldn't find anything related to this specifically.
Would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

If I were you, I won't go to 4.3 because of knok bootloader.. Just stay on 4.1JB of go for custom 4.4.2kitkat .
But if u don't plan to root your phone then go on. Because Knok will record/count when you break the warranty policy by rooting.and that can't be reset and undo.
Search for S3 LTE android 4.3 manual upgrade on google.

1. Root your phone.
2. Install/purchase mobileodin pro.
3. Download 4.3 firmware from sammobile.
4. Install firmware using mobileodin pro and keep root or not.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. My S3 is well out of warranty, so would this still have a negative impact on me if it records the number of times I break the warranty policy?

Thanks, this is helpful. I'll check sammobile.
Also I saw another couple of steps that looked like it would be possible to do straight from the recovery menu instead of through a 3rd party software like mobileodin. Would these steps work?
1) Download the Stock OTA Update 4.3 I747UCUEMJB from here:
2) Copy it to your external SD card.
3) Reboot recovery, then navigate down and choose "install update from SD card".
Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power button. Use volume keys to select and Power or Home key to select the option. Then just wait until it completely finishes flashing.

My bad, this is the i747.

Well if you not in the warranty then it's fine..
BTW, stock Rom is on the .tar.md5 format then u can't use the recovery to install it. You need Odin to flash it.
Mobile Odin is expensive. Why don't you just download free PC version of Odin that compatible with your device and flash it.

Oh got it.
Yes I would much rather use the free PC Odin than Mobile Odin.
Basically all I have to do is look for the stock 4.3 rom for the i747, then flash through Odin. Right?
Sam mobile does not have the 4.3 AT&T rom. I guess I'll have to look somewhere else.

Personally i would and have purchased the mobileodin pro. Never needed a pc in my years of using samsung phones. From flashing official firmwares to kernels recoveries and all. Its worth the price. Trust me. Everything can be done without a pc near u. Download firmware on ur phone. Flash it from ur phone. Just think of it as a payment for your electric bills. A small portion of it. and its not only limited to s3 but many models of the samsung phones aswell.
Found a link for you bro.

Awesome thanks so much for the link!
Unfortunately I'm on 4.1.1 and not 4.1.2. Will this be a big problem? Do I need to first get to 4.1.2 and then go to 4.3 or can I just directly flash to 4.3?
I would consider mobileodin pro, but I'm doing this for my girlfriends phone that I just bought, and I doubt I will ever need it again. I'm not going to be flashing her phone any more. So free would be useful Especially seeing as how it should have updated OTA on it's own anyway and has not. Which is frustrating. I'm still on 4.1.1 on top of that. Oh well.

Should have no issues as everything will be flashed including bootloader.
