On ICS i was using 3G normally, then i upgraded to JB via Sony PC companion
i lost the 3G signal
i rooted the device using (Bin4ry_v28 tool), it's fine, no rooting problems at all.
what do u think ?

OK
Find a ftf file for your phone (Probably one in the all in one thread) and flash it using flashtool. Just make sure your exclude everything except baseband. That will restore your phone radio settings

yes. Find flashtool in the first post in the dev section
Flash the ftf using flasdhtool. You will be given options to exclude certain bit of the file. Tick everything except baseband so that only the radio bit of the file is flashed
And welcome back from the dark side...iOS is like swearing here...

HIiii ..
i had troubles downloading the FTF file, so after some googling i decided to make my own 1.
1- i downloaded SUS
2- updated my phone
3- got the 3 update files from the file db
4- downloaded the latest Flashtool 0.9.10.1 from th official page
here comes a problem ..
there's no toolbox in this flash tool, so i wasn't able to decrype the files, i also couldn't fine LT29i in th devices list.
after some googling i downloaded th 0.9.10.2beta6 from this forum, which has a toolbox
1- i ran flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6
2- decrypt th files
3- created the FTF file
4- flash-mode
5- connected my xperia while pressing th volume key
6- phone connected in flash mode .... stuck here
7- nothing happened after that.
so i tried to flash it with 0.9.10.1
i just didn't have the option to exclude baseband from the list.
so :
1- i went back to 0.9.10.2beta6
2- i created a FTF file with baseband excluded from the hole file
3- i put the file in the 0.9.10.1 folders
4- i ran flashtool 0.9.10.1
5- flashed the phone
6- turned my phone on
8- every thing is OK BUT i still dnt have 3G coverage
can u help ?
Have you tried just a repair via PC Companion? Flashtool seems a bit long winded when PCC should do all this for you.

The problem is the file that pccompanion is downloading for you. It has the wrong baseband. That's why you need to get another ftf file for your phone.
If you create a ftf file from your pccompanion (Or SUES) download you will still be using the wrong files.
What was the issue with downloading the ftf file?

Find them in post 3 of the all in one thread.
For flashtool, find it in the first post of the first thread in the dev section.
If PCC is downloading the wrong basband shouldnt it have killed the 3G on everyones TX who has updated to JB using PCC?
IMHO I feel that something went wrong at the time of update specific to this user and rerunning the process would fix it.

No, he already tried that.
It seems it is downloading a wrong ftf file because of a corrupt build.prop or some changes made prior to using pccompanion.
If you change the device name to something else it prompts pccompanion to download another set of files.
That's how people manage to download multiple ftf files for different regions and different operators. They change their build.prop.
This is the first step in a problem solving process and if it doesn't work it could be something else, but he has stated he has already tried repairing using pccompanion

Fair enough. I cant see the post were they stated they had already tried that. I was under the impression the build.prop hadnt been touched as they stated root wasnt available to them until after the upgrade. Also I would assume TX is TX it is not like T/TL if the wrong update was pushed via PCC the deivce would not boot at all.
Yeah, I just looked back through the thread, I may be getting mixed up, I have so many people I am currently helping on this forum and in PM....
@OP
Did you try to repair the phone using PCCompanion or SUES yet?

why are you excluding baseband...the whole point is to exclude everything EXCEPT baseband!
the baseband controls the radio.
try your FTF file again in flashtool and tick all exclude options EXCEPT baseband
let me know how it goes
Just out of curiosity have you tried: Settings -> Xperia -> Internet Settings?
Hi!
My Z1 firmware is 14.1.G.1.518, and i saw in the sony's website from my region(Portugal) that there is a newer version, the 14.1.G.1.534.
But when i connect the mobile through PC companion or Update service it says that i'm already with lastest update. Anyone knows a reason why this is happening? :|

because they do not release all updates at once, just wait until it hits your region
Hello, 4.3 has been around for a long time for the Xperia T but i cannot find any way to update mine, pc companion says it is up to date and there is no new software in the phone software update app, and yes i checked all 3 tabs, my carrier is EE (im guessing orange and t mobile release at the same time, correct me if im wrong ) any help with updating it? thank you
I have xperia z1 c6902. recently flashed 4.4.4 14. 4.A.0.108. but after flashing update center doesn't recognize my phone's firmware and always notifys me to update firmware to 14. 4.A.0.108. but I already have this one. there are no any other problems. I can flash different mods that compatible with this firmware. how can I solve this???
Maybe it's just ghost update. I had it to, it was common problem last week.
Google it

Hi,
Im trying to restore Xperia Z1 original firmware (that can get updates from Sony) and I cant seem to succeed...
I have used flashtool but the software is just not right:
I can't use Wi-Fi, the sim is not working anymore (Im from Israel), everytime the phone get shut down - it asks me in what language do I want to use...
`I have tried using PC companion (Repair) also` but it tells me that my phone doesnt have an update.
I dont know what to do anymore
any advice?
Just download a rom for your model z1 and use, 'Flashtool' to flash the image.

I did that.
The IMEI is gone. Nothing seems to work ...
its probably because the flash version is not compatible with the baseband. Try flashing an older version (for eg. .108 version : u can get it from mega ftf thread in general section) and then after the flash, pc companion should detect and install the latest update.
