[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
I have a Galaxy S2. The IMEI (and the BaseBand as well) lost after loading a custom ROM to it. No, there was no EFS backup.

I have tried:

1. Flashing original stock rom via Odin.

2. HC-kTool

3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021 - Couldn't completely finish this one as there is no '.nv_data' at step #6

4. GSII_Repair - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair

So I gave up and went to a GSM shop. They could (somehow) write the original IMEI back, but they said loading a new rom "deletes" the IMEI again. They tested it several times. I'm not sure whether this applies for the software update as well. They can't do anything else.

Is there any way to bring my phone back to it's original shape?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Nothing you can do yourself, no. Unless you want to buy the equipment, learn how to use it & try repairing it yourself.

Take it to another repair shop. Anyone who actually knows what they're doing should be able to fix this. Or take to a Samsung service centre. Or change the motherboard (service centre might do this if it really isn't fixable via the 'normal means').
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
I doubt changing the motherboard would worth it. Any idea about the price of the 'normal means' in Samsung service centre?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Not in your country, no idea. When I say the 'normal means' I'm referring to what that shop who tried to repair it did/told you it wasn't possible. This is the first time I've seen anyone on here post saying re-writing the IMEI to the phone was tried (which is normally what a service centre will do; in my country at least) & failed/isn't possible.

So the first thing I'd be doing is taking it to another shop (not Samsung service centre, because a Samsung service centre will often charge you more for a given repair purely because they can.) & have them try it. It should be possible unless there's something wrong hardware-wise which has coincidentally happened at the same time you've had this issue.

If they tell you the same thing, then you either take it to a service centre or perhaps source a 2nd hand board from a donor phone & swap the board yourself or pay a local shop to do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishmong3r:
Thank you. What kind of harware issue could possibly cause something like this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's a very good question. Without having the phone to diagnose that would be almost impossible to say. But that assumes it is some kind of hardware issue & not just a case of whomever tried to fix the phone not really knowing what they were doing.

[Oppo Find 5] MayhemVC:
A friend of mine picked up an Oppo Find 5 from China for me (in Australia).

Since I've had it, it has been dropping its signal (even with the original Chinese ROM).

The phone signal will be full and then drop to zero (no coverage).

Also the mobile data connects but then also drops to nothing.

I've run CM 10.1.3 and Carbon ROM as well as MIUI (V5) but no luck.

I've also flashed the latest (International) version of ColorOS.

I flashed the 4.1 and 4.2 modems but still no luck.

I'm trying using a Vodafone SIM which uses G900MHz, G1800MHz, U850MHz, U900MHz and U2100MHz.

According to GSMArena the phone supports:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

Anybody else experienced these issues?

Cheers,

MayhemVC

The Customized BAL has the 14.2.A.1.136 available.

I cannot download it at the moment (I'm at the office) :)

Will create the FTF this evening (French time) unless someone else can bundle it till then.

EDIT : Here is the link to the bundle.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Customized BAL means ?
[Xperia Z1 General] lecomiquelin:
What? The 14.2.A.1.136 firmware is rolling out??
[Xperia Z1 General] brapicoco:
will check on this thread .. how is this different from the other certified firmware?

I don't see any official notification yet.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Xperiaguide removed link to that news, maybe it's false alarm.
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes I removed the link becuase it was a false alarm...actually i was just saving it as a draft but by mistake it got published.

Apologies...no official notification yet here in Indian

[Xperia Z1 General] El.Guaje:

[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
Yes thats mine ;) i was just saving it as a draft but somehow it got published, thats why I removed it asap.

I just knew that 1.136 is about to come but it is not rolled yet.
[Xperia Z1 General] Androxyde:
It is an official build. It rolled out for only this customization (BAL). I don't what country it is (and I don't mind) ... it is for C6903. (nothing for C6902 yet).
[Xperia Z1 General] slim207rc:
Seems like Baltic as I was told!
[Xperia Z1 General] brapicoco:
I hope we can try this one to see what has been fixed and added. I'm really hoping for an update to see if what the Sony mod mentioned is true, that the upcoming update will fix the touchscreen issue.
[Xperia Z1 General] megatooth:
Did someone manage to download it?
[Xperia Z1 General] slim207rc:
The author of this thread said he will create an ftf this evening. Just be a little patient! 6-7 hours won't make the difference now will it ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] SirRobin78:
I will upload the .ftf file in a few minutes! Stay tuned!
[Xperia Z1 General] aP!2:

[Xperia Z1 General] lecomiquelin:
The .ftf can be flashed only on C6903?? What about others countries and variants, like the C6943 (brazil version)? Someone know something?

Now updated via Flashtool and it what worth it, the last time it took alot of time Sony releasing the firmware in the Netherlands.

So what I quickly noticed is the Wifi problem that I got when away from my router having full bars but not working looks solved for now.

The battery when unplugged at midnight on 01.00 had 93% left at 10.00, so a improvement because on the firmware before this one it was 88% and the firmware before that one it was 83%.

Others already said it, there is a new icon for mobiledata connection in the bar up.

White Balance app I didn't used because I don't have a yellow issue.

Anyway this is what I noticed so far, so it is more a bugfix release so everybody updated to 4.3 will benefit out it I think.

From now on I will update through Flashtool, that damn waiting all the time for no reason :laugh:.

Hi ImAnurag, question abt PCC. Whenever I connect my unit to PCC instead of Xperia Z1 (C6903) it says Sony Xperia smartphone only. Do you have any idea why?
[Xperia Z1 General] :
on .290 i can run more than one small-app !

but not unlimited, about 3-4 small-apps

if u have problem now it better to repair ur firmware by pcc

Not an issue mate, happened with me also...Sony PCC issue it is.
[Xperia Z1 General] AntiDroid:
... I am not talking about this .290 bug stuff or those special cases like samsungs bloat :|

[Xperia Z1 General] ra97or:
It is out for once in UK unbranded as well. Didn't expect that coming as the last ones were pretty late.
[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
I see. I thought there's something wrong with my unit. Also another concern is that I'm always having a hard time in updating or checking for updates via PCC. Always prompted with server not accessible even though my internet connection is very good. I'm always opting to updating via SUS.
[Xperia Z1 General] hwithv:
It is confirmed to update for C6902 in Vietnam
[Xperia Z1 General] ImAnurag:
I don't think so, fault is in Sony's online updating servers not in your Z1 ;) Don't doubt on your Z1 :P

I always prefer SUS for updates, never did via PCC ever..

[Xperia Z1 General] artpra:
Your work on bringing to us rooted stock firmwares can`t be praised enough - thank you sir!

But is there any chance to base them on Central Europe version, when it will become available? It have much more broad customizations included, covering more country variations.

My case: I`m living in a country where national specific characters are used in almost all words. With my default Central Europe region firmware I have the option in messaging app to enable (or not to) automatic conversion these national characters to "generic" ones so SMS can have 160 length, so it`s great. With your rooted 14.2.A.0.290, based on Nordic region firmware, I don`t have this option but conversion is being done by default, on the fly by the system, so it`s fine too. But with your new 14.2.A.1.136, based on Baltic region firmware, I don have this option and system doesn`t convert them on the fly, resulting in 70 length SMSes. I would be great to have your rooted rom, but based on "proper" wider region.

I'm still waiting for update in Macedonia (Telekom EURO-LTE)

[Xperia Z1 General] Avantiel:

[Xperia Z1 General] LeoSquizz:

[Xperia Z1 General] [NUT]:
Oh I was not yet saying it didn't occur for me... but now I did that test and I've been able to confirm my suspicion: I don't have it :o

I can imagine it's quite annoying :(
[Xperia Z1 General] nizarnoor:
How did you decided that your XZ1 was yellowhue-free in the first place though? Just curious. Did you compare it with other displays?

Or are you saying that the firmware update makes the display yellow-tinted?
[Xperia Z1 General] feddexx69:
I compared it with other XZ1s..same color. Then with Samsung phones..seemed white enough for me. Then with Moto X..seemed pretty white to me. Checked the batch numbers that were affected..not mine. Definitely the firmware didn't make it yellow, at boot it appeared to be the same as before..the eye opener was when I changed from 0 to 150 the blue balance.
[Xperia Z1 General] whatwhatster:
Haha wtf, I am using the the Z1 since the release with serial BH907 and my screen was definitely 100% white, but there was some cracking sound from the back and I got 3 different Z1's from the store I brought it and the yellow hue thing was hot al over the internet, so the first thing I did was every phone I got put them side to side and the BH907 was white and all other 3 was yellow so in the end I decided to hold on the first phone.

But know I put blue on 120 and is white and why put in on standard it is yellow, so I don't know what happend and I didn't even noticed when my screen got yellow, put it was white one time :)).

Right now it is definitely looking white so very funny to notice it this way :)).

Yeah didn't want to reset either, I wonder if Sony will fix it in the next Walkman update though. If not, I am guessing we will have to wait till 4.4 comes out.
