HELP! xperia j invalid sim card

PLEASE HELP!
I don't know what really happened but I had installed cm10 on it and then I see no service
I've searched on forum and was adviced to flash stock ftf but nothing
when booted the phone asks for sim pin "whats means that it reads the sim card" but after insert the right pin
the phone shows "invalid sim card" and got no service
I've did many times and still the same problem
before I get the phone my girlfriend had tried to partitioning an sdcard with minitool partition wizard
but she did it with the sd inserted on the device
maybe that was the cause the problem
please help me

flash ICS firmware then flash CM10 over it that should solve the problem !!!

Thanks for your help bro but even when I flash stock ics i can't get sim to work
If i just flash only the stock ics i get invalid sim card
And when i install cm10 over it the problem is still there

try these:
--> remove sim card and place it again correctly (works sometimes)
--> when you enter the CWM make sure you completely wipe your data includes- wipe cache, wipe /system, wipe dalvik cache, format /data /cache and then click on reboot the system now and remove the battery. go back to flashboot mode and flash the ICS firmware and i hope this might help coz this is what i did to my phone

Nothing bro! still the same
my phone asks for the sim password "PIN" and it only accepts the right pin code, what means that the phone reads the sim card
but i don't know why there's no signal and appears the message "invalid sim card"
I've tested many different sim cards and nothing solves
if I did something wrong
theoretically I just need to reflash an stock ftf and everything should be ok
but that doesn't solve the problem

it is because of trim area damage
you should have backup your trim area before unlocking bootloader
trim area, google it
and read about it
good luck

Got it working yet?
Experiencing same problem now after flashing the Xperia Z fire series 5 honami patch...
Tried multiple sim-cards from multiple providers.

Bootloop after using Link2SD

I foolishly used Link2SD and installed the script. Now I only have bootloop. I have locked bootloader and rooted phone.
Any advice?

Remove the battery leave for 5 minutes re insert battery and should boot normally if not remove agian and this time remove sd card and format the partition you made for link2sd
worked on mine just removing the battery.
i made the same mistake today.

so, link2sd is working on your Xperia L ???
HOW (please)

I meant that my phone works all right now, but without Link2SD xD
I think that you have to have a init.d capable Rom and stock one just doesn't support it. But i'm not an android and Rom expert so i might be wrong

Flashing a ROM effectively writes over /system anyway, you need to do some reading to understand what you are actually doing. But basically you need to boot into bootloader and use fastboot not adb. Many tutorials exist so a search on xda will be all you need to so the rest.

now my device isnt charging and not booting up!!! am thinking of replacing it. is it psbl? coz i unlocked my bootloader but i have a 30 day replacement guarantee and my device isnt turning on now?? itz been 2 days since i bought it.

I would ask you to get it service centre to flash the system again, and PAY them the normal service charge. You can ask the service centre guy to install a new motherboard , because i think that will come with Memory and OS pre-installed.
I am not expert on this matters, suggest you to search deeply on XDA or wait for an Expert to answer otherwise; i have listed the options available to you.
You could also try leaving it on charger for a day to see if charging starts.
Since your whole memory is wiped clean, it basically a Bricked device.

Xperia L big problem

I've done over the adb-a partition of internal memory for data and sdcard. It all worked well until I decided back the official system via the flaštool-a.
I started but is stop on the installation partition-image.
The standing is a long time until I turned off the phone and started again, but again the same.
The phone responds to adb. Get in rečoverj. When you start just standing soni logo
I'm thinking that over adb create all partitions as if he had a pre throw cyanogenmod.
Sorry for my bad english

Yes... You are very lucky! Flashing stock after repartitioning usually causes hardbrick. So please flash a custom rom again (if you want the original Xperia feeling back, there are a few roms (like StryFlex) which use the theme of the Xperia Z5. Just don't flash anything with flashtool, please.)

Thank you for your answers. I tried not to react at all. Outputs notice that it is not possible to read any partition. To note that the ADB is not coming at all partitions. The recovery can not do the wipe of any partition.

Recover a Wiped Internal

He guys, I accidentally check the internal storage on twrp,and it's all gone , I've Google about recovering data ,but still not sure yet wich one work or not. Maybe u guys have done this before and teach me how to do it. Thx , sorry for my bad English thxxxx

I don't think it's possible.Even if you able to recover your data anyhow,it will be corrupted,so no use.

Bcoz some said that when u delete file ,its just get flagged and it still possible to recover it. K then,thx for ur reply btw.

Hans Brown said:
You forgot to leave your phone model and Android version my friends. OnePlus one with Android 6.0?
You have to ROOT your phone first before you use some tool to recover the lost data.
So I think this ROOT tutorial is useful for you: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/
After you ROOT your phone, try this tool to recover data from the wiped internal storage.
PS: the ROOT function is included in the tool's data recovery module, you can try the tool directly before ROOT the phone yourself.

When you unlock the bootloader all data gets wiped for security reasons .... So what do you think there is left to recover? Data will be corrupted even more.
Anyway there are tools but data is corrupted and not fully usable. So RIP.
PS
The OP said he did it from twrp which means the bootloader is already unlocked.
