Hello!
A few weeks ago, my wave started to do crazy things.
The camera didn't work and it freezed when trying to make a call.
I decided to flash the latest firmware (XXJL2 full) via MultiLoader.
This solved the camera problem but not the freeze problem:
If i dial a number and press call, the phone freezes for about a minute.
Then it makes the call like normal and after the call it freezes for another minute.
For incoming calls, it freezes for a minute and then rings, even when the caller already hanged up.
Did anybody have this problem before?
~ghertgh
BTW sorry for my poor english.
Hi,
I have seen similar strangeness with my Wave I (permanent reboots) after updating to 1.2.
On german telefon-treff, some users claim that a master reset fixes the problem...
Oh I forgot to say:
I already did some master resets, I downloaded the firmware from another source and reinstalled it, didn't help.
I'll try to flash an older firmware now..
Hello
Didn't You dropped your wav in to the water? if not, try the service, this is very odd problem, mostly because you did master and flash.
Older firmware doesn't work too.
So i think it's hardware-related.
Nope, didn't drop it into the water or something like that.
My problem with the service is that the phone is unlocked, so I think my warranty is void.
if u think your problem is hardware related try and flash back to the original firmware which u got with your phone or the latest firmware for your region. after that the service centre should not detect that you have flashed your firmware and you will still get it covered under warranty. or do you mean that your phone was locked when you bought it and that you unlocked it?
exactly. I removed the SIM lock because I traveled to Germany for some weeks and wanted to use a prepaid card.
I removed the SIM lock...

I don't know how it was unlocked because it was unlocked by a phone shop.
I'll just send it to the nearest Samsung Service Partner, let's see what happens.
Thanks to all who answered!

Sorry dude, I already sent it to Samsung.
What would you do? Did you have that problem before?
Okay, I have a PLAY 4G that I got from AT&T so it's an 800at. Used it with AT&T for about a month, canceled, got the unlock code form them. Switched to T-Mobile prepaid $50 plan, used it for around 5 months. A few months into T-mobile I rooted it with Super One Click, everything was fine. Now a few months later my signal to T-mobile started cutting in and out 2 days ago. After about an hour or two of losing the network it finally never came back. I did all the standards, resetting, popping battery in and out, etc. Still didn't work with T-mobile, tried SIM in another phone, it works fine. Also got a new SIM from T-Mobile, no difference. Unrooted phone with Super One Click and no difference, did all the resets and battery in and out. Still won't work with or even see T-Mobile. Put an active AT&T SIM in and it works fine! So it seems the phones hardware is fine and the SIM is fine. My last hope is I have a software/firmware problem. One thing that's weird is after the master reset the Home button stopped working and when the joypad is slid out it doesn't switch automatically to games. Phone always says "Emergency Calls Only". Please help, I'm running out of idea's.
I do believe APN's are the problem.
Had to deal with the same thing when I switched to straight talk.
Game stuff and the home button seems like a software issue.
Reflash 2.3.3 stock for AT&T phones. Should be fine after you reset the APNs
Still Stumped
Thank you for your input, I deleted my T-Mobile APN and re-entered it, and it's still not finding the network. I've been wanting to reflash the original firmware back on. Do you know if I have to unlock the bootloader to do that? I was going to try a different ROM but my warranty is still in effect for 6 more months. I'm thinking reflashing the original ROM shouldn't need the bootloader unlocked. I also need to find the original ROM to reflash it with. Is it safe to reflash a generic Xperia PLAY ROM instead of AT&T bloatwares ROM?
I would use flashtool to reflash the AT&T ftf, then just manually input the APN settings for T-Mobile. That should do the trick. IF you try and still a no go I would unroot and soo about a warranty replacement.
You already voided your warranty when you rooted..
Can they know that you had rooted it if you unroot it?

I may be wrong but I thought that if you ftf back to stock they will not necessarily be able to se you have rooted your phone? As its fresh out of the box firmware....

No, flashing an ftf file still holds root and it evident.You can unroot, then reroot if need be,but personally I've never unrooted
Thanks for all the input everyone!
Thank you for all the responses, I will try flashtool this evening and report back what I get. In terms of root, my research has led me to believe that rooting/unrooting is undetectable. But unlocking the bootloader cannot be covered up, Sony has records of all bootloader activity. But I could be wrong, just tossing in my two pennies.
It's fixed!
I used flashtool and reflashed the original software back to the phone and it's good as new again. Thank you everyone for your input! I wish I could tell you what caused the problem, but I'm happy I could at least relay what the fix was.
Hi guys,
I had an Xperia Pro updated to ICS 4.0.4 stock, everything was working ok, one morning at work I couldn't get any signal in any part of the building, removed SIM and placed in a different phone, it was getting some signal, back to Xperia Pro, no signal again and when picking manually one of the networks was giving an error message ( like ... network unavailable or check if SIM inserted ), tried activating - deactivating plane mode, still no change, at a certain moment it rebooted by itself, but still no change.
Went home, tried a different SIM, same thing, did a factory reset of the phone, still same error and won't join any network.
Thought, OK it's time to try a different ROM, maybe more luck.
So unlocked bootloader, flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2, install went OK and all, but still the same problem, it won't join any network with any SIM I put in.
What can I try next ? Anyone has any idea ?
Thanks for any suggestion or advice
I think there is a problem with the hardware.

Hmmm ... it was in my pocket while going to work, I later noticed the lack of network signal, but there wasn't any shock or whatever, just regular commute from home to office.
Additional Info: I've remember something that might be relevant: after the reboot in CM7.2 it kept asking for the SIM unlock PIN I think, and it didn't work with the PIN that I knew the SIM had, after a couple tries I clicked "reject" to avoid locking the SIM.
Not sure if it means the phone become locked ?! should I try to unlock it ? It was normally already unlocked before, not sure if it makes any sense what I'm imagining here ...

I used the Central Europe because the file has a slightly newer date.
Had problems with using Flashtool under Windows, probably some driver wasn't correctly installed as my computer was freezing every time I connected in flashmode. Fortunately I have a dual boot and it worked under Ubuntu.
But no luck, still no service after back to ICS.
But I found some other thread on the net that pointed to check mend, and guess what ... doing a report resulted in "Currently blocked - CheckMEND has a record of this item having been blocked by one or more cell phone networks"
Now ... wtf can I do next ?!
Ask your Carrier for help, maybe they now something

Tried a couple of them, either they say they can't do anything ( if I don't have a contract with them ), or one operator told me have no blockage or record of this IMEI.
So ... more and more confused and clueless ...
getting into the SIM Lock menu of the phone ( using the *#*#-whatever-#*#* combination ), every digit is 0, I've read that it means it's "hardlock" but not sure what exactly this means and especially how can it be unlocked ?!

I have the same problem in Portugal but only with one carrier (TMN). Already order a CheckMEND report and "0 reports in my case".
Flashed different ROMS, Kernels, changed baseband and... nothing! Back to stock ICS and still no TMN signal for calls or SMS... I have 3G for internet though...

6 months ago I gave my brother a new Note 2 LTE which was working without problem. Several weeks later, I rooted it for him and upgraded the ROM to a new version of the official firmware.
After that 'upgrade', he complained of intermittent signal problems. I have recently checked the phone and the signal does regularly disappear.
I therefore performed a full wipe, data, cache, system, preload partition, dalvik etc and installed the official Vodafone N7105XXDMB2_N7105VODDMA2_N7105XXDLL5_HOME.tar from this site.
However, the problem remains.
What else can I do to resolve the problem?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as the phone is currently a door stopper.
Check if your imei is corrupted if not take to service and check as this should be covered under warranty and unroot it first

Hi
Thanks for the response.
I did return it to Samsung in an unrooted state - they responded and said the phone had an unofficial firmware and the warranty was now void.
So Samsung is not an option unless I ask them for a chargeable repair.

Try downgrading the modem to a older one, I had the same problem and use a 4.1.1 version, XALIJ series (baseband XALIB). The newer modems are designed to hold on to LTE signal as much as possible. However you will entirely lose the signal in low reception areas. The older modems will downgrade to a GSM network signal faster and avoid signal loss.

In my case i just downloaded a old firmware from sammobile and used mobile odin to root it.
Thank you for the link.
I have downloaded and installed the firmware XXALIJ with the baseband DXALIB. However the problem remains.
Once the phone rebooted after the installation, the signal is fine for a few minutes then disappears.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the utility. However, I receive the following message when I select Step 3: You don't have .nv_data.bak and his md5 files, canceled.
I have also noticed that as long as the screen is on, my signal is fine. It's only when the screen is off does the signal tend to disappear.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I recently tried to update my Xperia ZL L35H (purchased in China) to the latest 10.3.A.0.423 firmware. I chose the C6502 variant because it seemed that this was the same model with some regional variations. All worked well, until I tested the mobile data connection, which was non-existent. Considering that both L35H and C6502 both use HSPA, this incompatibility with the C6502 firmware was surprising. I even used the AOKP ROM for awhile and had no issues with data connectivity.
What's worse, I had my CWM backups on internal storage. My bad, I know. Updating to the 10.3.A.0.423 erased my internal storage, so, no more stock firmware backups.
I would be most grateful if some one could help me either:
*Help me find a L35H firmware, or
*Help me troubleshoot the data connection on the C6502 10.3.A.0.423 firmware.
L35h
Glad to see someone else has the L35h. I'm afraid I can't help you with your problem, but I was wondering if you were able to root it, and how?
I rooted mine with Bin4ry's script, but then made the mistake of upgrading, not knowing that it would remove the root. (I'm completely new to Android and had no idea that the phone would come with a bastardized version of Android that doesn't even allow a Google account to be on it, without rooting.) Now I'm on 10.1.1.A.1.253, but none of the rooting scripts will root it now.
I rooted the 253 using :
http://www.droidkube.com/how-to-root-sony-xperia-zl-and-install-cwm-recovery/
Then lost root after updating to 10.3.A.0.423. I rooted that using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43288981
Thanks, I might have to do it this way ultimately. I'm afraid of destroying my phone completely, but maybe it's the only way I'll be able to do it.

Maybe you could help me out here. What 253 variant did you use? Does everything work on it? What shows for "Model Number" under "About Phone" in settings? Could you post a download link for me?
I got it to work. I'm currently using the C6503, but the C6502 might have worked as well.

Everything appears to be working fine! No more L35H!

Where did you get the 10.3.A.0.423 firmware? I've decided I'm going to use Flashtool and just go for it. Would be nice to say zaijian to L35h.

Instructions here
Downloads here
You have to register and log in to activate the download link on the xperiablog page. Both the C6503 and the C6502 worked for me. Supposedly, the C6503 adds LTE support, but I don't know if there's a hardware difference to reflect that. I've been using this firmmware for a week now, and it's been flawless.
Also, check out Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit (for root) and XZDualRecovery (for CWM and TWRP) here on XDA, both of which work flawlessly on this firmware as tested on my device.
Check out my post on this page if you're disappointed with the stock sound volume limitation.

I'd go with whichever one matches where you're at. I'd have to look it up to know for sure. Both the Indonesia and the MEA (Middle East?) ones worked on mine, and I'm in China. Some locations use the same bands, others don't. I'm no expert in how that works. I might be wrong here, but I think the Settings/Xperia/Internet Settings auto-patch takes care of that for you. My 3G (or any data connection) didn't work until I took care of that.

It worked! Took a while to figure out the drivers and stuff, but it flashed easily and now I have a non-bastardized, non-Chinese phone. Seems to run faster and smoother too. Great to say goodbye to the L35h and hello to the C6502!

Haven't noticed any problem like that. Or any real problems. Maybe the notification/SMS sounds are a bit wonky, but nothing that's really bothered me or is especially noticeable. Am still getting notices about how "this version of Android doesn't allow in-app payments" or something like that. I expected those to go away. But maybe it's just because I'm in China with a China Mobile SIM.
Hi Guys! I too brought sony xperia L35H from china....and would like to flash the MEA C6503 version. I installed the flash tool and made the FTF file ready. while just to make sure everything is alright i connected my phone and opened the flash tool. It says "device connected with USB debugging off", although i have enabled usb debugging in my phone. Do i have to install the adb as well or am i missing something. Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks
