Under the about option in settings, the baseband is listed. For IMEI its in the About>Status.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
ok now i took a screenshot of my baseband and the IME number while running on 108

and now iv'e downloaded a cm11 rom to do the same thing there!!

and about the ta backup thing no i didn't do any backup while unlocking the bootloader

i will install the cm11 rom and give you feedback right away
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Alright, however you really should have taken a backup of the TA partition as its impossible to be restored now.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
ok now im rinning on FXP341-cm-11-20141012-UNOFFICIAL-honami_2 and it's having the same restarting problem:(:(

The IMEI number is the same as .108 but the baseband's last 4 number are defrent

the .108 last 4 numbers are 54-56

the cm11 last 4 numbers are 45-39
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Are you sure your phone model is C6903 and not C6602 or C6606, also is the phone an international phone, or was it a carrier banded device.

To be sure check your imei here

http://www.imei.info
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
yes it is an C6903

iv'e checked it from the link it's saying xperia z1 c6903
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Was the .108 the firmware you unlocked the phones boot loader on?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
yes
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Perphaps something went wrong when unlocking the boot loader, have you tried the .133 firmware while using the .108 kernel and baseband?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
so you suggest that i try flashing .133 ftf then flashing .108 kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Presisely, hence after flash a CM ROM.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
ok now im running on the same cm11 rom and im downloading the software from pc companion to update it to .133

i will test .133 if it's restarting i will flash .108 kernel and test it again and give you feedback .

thank you for your time bro..:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
No problem glad I can help :) hopefully in the end well get that bad boy up and running correctly. Especially considering android L is only about a week away ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
that's what this is about you know .i'm ok with .108 it's the latest android .

but when i heared about sony giving android lolipop to all xperia z series . i really started to think .what if it's restarting like every other firmwares .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
I'm in this same boat. First time I unlocked the bootloader and flashed custom roms, everything went fine by that time . Later I decided to relock my boot, yesterday I re-unlocked again and flashed trinity raptor 1.3 HD but after leaving the phone some time and picking it back up it just freezes and restarts itself. it's weird. Rather by that time I flashed the same rom and kernel trinity devs provided for unlocked bootloader. Dont know what to do, maybe I screwed it because I didn't wipe system partition when flashing this rom just, data, dalvik & cache.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
try flashing the 4.3 .290 ftf .and if u still have the same freezing problem.

welcome to the boat

ps:like i sayed this is 50%bootloader problem 50% kernel problem.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
This is a very interesting issue indeed it seems to have to do with the boot loader, when you re-locked the device did you restore you TA partition? Also the system partition is anyway automatically wiped during the ROM install so it is not necessary to do it manually.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
i do have an idea

im gonna try unlocking and relocking the bootloader on the first firmware android 4.2.2.

in the same time you guys try to get into this problem as it is very annoying problem.and if i don't fix it .

i'm going to put all the money that i have collected in buying an Z2.:(

ps:I contacted sony mobile and I did have a chat with a "DEVOLOPER" and all he kept saying is that rooted phones are not supported by sony tools:cyclops:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
GUYS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIVE WHAT HAPPENED

SO I FLASHED THE STOCK ANDROID 4.2.2 .518

AND NOW MY IMEI NUMBER IS

IMEI:000000000000000

:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

NOW ANY IDEAS????!!!!???
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
What would 4.3 downgrade Will do? If it seems to be bootloader o kernel related? What If i relockin and reunlockin would put sometido chances to sucess (?)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
there is a big chance that we are facing a defferent problems i'm saying that you downgrade and test it if it still rebooting!!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
Hey since i encountered this trouble after re-unlocking my bootloader. I started with few tests with my phone and flashtool. I charged my phone to full capacity. Then I relocked my bootloader and flashed stock ftf 108 firware, then I rooted and installed dual recovery, I unlocked my bootloader again and flashed trinity raptor 1.3 HD once again, result: same problem and phone just kept restarting every time I let it unused. Then I flashed the ftf when my bootloader was unlocked and repeated the whole process again, the result: the same.

Then I decided to relock my bootloader and right after relocking I unlocked and made the whole process again. Then the reboots were gone. I dont know what happened but my phone hasn't restarted since. I hope this can help. Try what I did maybe can be helpful to you and everyone with this problem.

P.D: the sintoms appeared again but was random this time, the reboots were occasional and not when being deepsleep, i gave up and decided to go back to stock with locked bootloader and TA partition restored again sorry :S:crying:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
I think that this problem can not be solved guys. i tryed to flash the vodafon ftf file android 4.4.4 build .133 i had no rebooting problem.

i flashed android 4.4.4 build .108 again worked perfectly. now im on IHACKERS 5.1 with thair own kernel for UB its working without problems too.

trinity raptor 1.3 with trinity kernel it's working again .

i guess the bottom line is that i can use .108 and .133 and everything bassed on that

but when i try to go back to android 4.2.2 or 4.3 or even 4.4.2 it restarting.

could it be that iv'e unlocked the bootloader of my device on .108 so i can only use that and any firmware forward.

but then comes that i can't use any cm rom.

i will wait and see when sony lunches the android l to our device.

and when i get the same problem on my device on stock official android lolipop

i will take my phone and go to sony mobile and i'll throw the device in their face.

and get a xperia z2 or htc desire eye.:(:(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
thanks this could be helpful bro:)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
at least you can enjoy custom 108 based roms, i can't beacuse the random reboots.

The reason i re-unlocked my bootloader was custom kernels but as you can see i'm f***d up :'(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
i don't know bro. you mean like it's restarting on everything like even stock official 4.2.2??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
The 0000000 IMEI issue is normal I had the same issue on 4.2 I can't remember what I did, but I fixed it and unlocked my phone on 4.2, as for whatever reason I wasn't able to get root setup to make a TA backup an earlier comment read that maybe it was because the phone was unlocked on 4.3, this could be the case. As CM Roms generally use older kernel sources and blobs. If that is the case, which it hopefully is lollipop Roms should hopefully work fine as Sony update AOSP for our device, and devs are most likely to use the newer resources.

So I guess for now it may be best to just stay stock, only a few days of waiting till the moment of truth.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHunk_2:
you mean like when CM12 (LOLIPOP) comes out the devs are going to use an android 4.4.4 or newer kernel.

and hopefully it won't restart right??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techpenguin5:
Precisely
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepho3nix:
[MENTION=514376]thehunk[/MENTION] _2 I found a possible solution for reboots, it just worked for me. I'd like to share the method to you.

1. Fully charge the phone.

2. Make a clean FTF install through flashtool.

3. Re-locked the bootloader.

4. I unlocked the bootloader again by Sony development page steps (official way)(ADB METHOD) this will make a full wipe as usual in your nand.

5. I rooted and installed twrp.

6. Flash custom rom of your choice & ENJOY, no reboots so far.

I hope this will work for you buddy.

I'll attach a screenshot of the conflict between my bootloader and custom kernel.

Causing a total crash of my OS.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davfed:
I need help, please. My phone is stuck in AP fastboot flash mode (s)

At the bottom, it says:

load kernel (boot) failed

fastboot reason: boot failure

usb connected

phone was fine this morning, when i went to unplug it, it woke up and stated that my Nova launcher has forced closed. I rebooted the phone and this happened. I tried to reflash through rsd lite with oem 4.1.2 and it results in a failure. I had 4.4.2 but figured I'd go back to JB

I can get to the boot menu but every option takes me back to this screen, now it says 'invalid flash mode (s)'

Any thoughts on this? I'm lost.....

Thank you for your time.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
some things we will need to know to help you:

- do you have a 926 or 925?

-what is your system version?

-if you dont know the above, when was the last time you took an update?

-what exactly did you try to flash to fix this? provide links please.

-what is the state of your phone now? can connect to pc? can boot? not boot? to what can you access if no boot?

-can you tell me what your fastboot screen says? power the phone off, hold the three vol and power buttons, release all 3 when you see the menu, and report the results.

respond with this info, and we will fix you right up :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davfed:
Thank you so much for offering to help!!!

I have the 926. I had trouble about 6 weeks ago and flashed 4.4.2 from this page http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5

A few weeks later i took an OTA update to the .15 version, im sorry but I don't know the rest.

Today after my phone froze, i tried to flash first the 4.1.2 without success than the 4.4.2. both from the above link and both failed.

I can connect to the PC. i can get to the boot menu but all options take me to the fastboot screen.

now it says:

Invalid flash mode (s)

10.9b(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-29 08:54:49)

eMMC info: size 16gb

device is unlocked status code 3

battery OK

transfer mode:

usb connected

load kernel (boot) failed

fastboot reason: boot failure

after i try to reboot it, the top line changes to 'AP fastboot flash mode (s)'

hope this is what you need
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
That's good,

Just a few more questions now that we have that info.

- how did you try to 're-flash? Rsd or fastboot method?

- if Rsd, did you edit the xml file first?

- do you remember what the script said when it failed?

- are you concerned with trying to save data? May not be possible, but we can try first if you are.

You phone indicates its unlocked, so you should be able to flash whatever you want as long as your doing it right. Hopefully the script is just failing because of some code that needs to be removed and not write errors, that would be bad.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davfed:
I did use rsd lite

I have no idea why or how to edit the xml file

all i did was download the file, find it and decompress and flash. that is the way it worked for the the last time i had to do this when it was stuck in the boot animation. it worked the first time and that is the only experience i have with flashing.

I don't remember what it said other than a fail

I do not care about data at this point. most of what i need is backed up.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
This will be pretty easy to fix.

- extract the kk zip to a folder

- inside find the .xml file, right click and edit

- completely delete any lines containing "getvar", "tz", and "gpt"

- close the .xml file and choose save at the prompt

- flash with Rsd using the edited xml file as the target.

That should fix things good as new. :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davfed:
will this work for the JB file also, or only the KK?

Ive been very unhappy with KK
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
Sure, you can do the same to the jb file.

You will want to root afterwards and freeze the updater so it's not constantly annoying you.

I did what you said and deleted everything redownloaded your file with the same result.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i dont know what to tell you, i and others have done it many times without issue.

the first error was "getvar" thats 100% not possible as the code is not in there.

the errors you are getting now.... no idea why...

il think about it and test some things and get back to you later.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
ok, i just flashed mine from the latest kk to the jb file in my guide using rsd no problem.

ok so lets back up again. make a new folder where you keep all your downloads and put all the firmwares you have in there so there out of the way.

download this file, extract it, put your phone in fastboot, plug to pc, run the windows batch file then option 1 and if there are any errors, copy the entire output and post it here.

if the phone boots normally,

power off, put back into fastboot, download and extract this file and run it with rsd. if it fails, post the results.

if step 1 fails, you can try step 2 just for giggles, but it will likely fail.
