[Q] Sony Xperia J IMEI Blank with sim no signal

I have a problem with my Sony Xperia J ST26i. It's rooted and unlocked.
Now I can start my mobile but he has no signal. Phone says there is no SIM card. If have my SIM card inserted. I have only wifi signal.
When I dial *#06# on my phone I see the display as shown in the attachment.
And with MTK Droid Tool I can't change/restore my IMEI. See also the screenshot of MTK. It says --- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
Is there a another way to restore my IMEI? Also I have no .nv_data file. It's not on my phone. Have anyone this file for My phone or another solution?

Sometimes, there are few bugs in stock fw. Like me, i cant turn on wifi. So either u restore using PCC or flash custom rom might help.

Thanks for the reply.
PCC restore is not an option. I haven't make one. So I go look on the internet for a custom ROM flash.

If wont work after you flash rom again... just relock and then unlock phone bootloader again!

My phone is working again! I went to a phone store in Scheveningen and they have put a rom on my phone back they do work. It's the original stock rom. It cost me €15 bud it's working again. In the future, I'll backup first and the go play with my phone.
Thanks for the support! :good:

15€ for this? OMG man! YOu can do that alone for free,just use flashtool !

Hi. I have a similar problem.
Phone (xperia J) is working fine with stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader. But when i flash custom rom there is no IMEI, no signal and no efs folder (nv_data file). And if I go back to stock rom the IMEI is back and mobile network works.
So my question is is there any way to transfer IMEI, recreate efs folder, so I can use custom roms?

I have to post 10 times before I can post links outside this forum.

Use it at your own risk. Read this text first before you get started.
If you follow these steps your phone is back to the original settings. You have your signal back and you IMEI.
Now you want your phone rooted! Right? Right!
For rooting Sony Xperia J 11.0.A.7.5 version, 11.2.A.0.21, 11.2.A.0.31 (and or later) using ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery necessitating an unlocked bootloader (unlocked bootloader).
Broadly speaking, the rooting procedure using CWM recovery to install su, busybox and Superuser.apk files bundled in the update. The steps are: flash CWM, rooting package update using CWM recovery, then flash the stock kernel back.
Preparation:
1. Fastboot files here
2. Unlock Boatloader.
3. CWM Sony Xperia J (boot.img)
4. Sony Xperia J stock kernel 11.0.A.7.5 (kernel.sin), can be extracted from the image ftf.
5. Update file for rooting (root_xperia_signed.zip
Update March 8, 2013:
All the required files in the download is packaged in the following:
- Version 11.0.A.7.5
- Version 11.2.A.0.21
- Version 11.2.A.0.31 (May 30, 2013)
The steps:
1. Root_xperia_signed.zip copy files to the internal / external sdcard.
2. Prepare boot.img, kernel.sin, fastboot.exe into the working folder. (Make self a folder on you PC Harddisk)
3. Prepare boot.img, kernel.sin, fastboot.exe into the working folder.
Turn off the phone, unplug the USB cable and go into fastboot mode by pressing and holding down the Vol + Up while plugging in the USB cable, fastboot mode can be seen from the blue LED light on the top panel.
4. Check whether the connection is correct fastboot, type in Command Prompt:
fastboot getvar version​
If prompt <waiting for device> is displayed, then the connection is not successful, try to check whether the driver for fastboot already installed.
5. Flash CWM and restart the phone:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot​
6. When the phone restarts, observe the LED on the bottom of the panel when it turns purple, immediately press and hold the Vol + Up button until the LED turns blue to get into CWM. USB cable can then be removed.
7. At CWM, select install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard / external sdcard and select the file in step 1 above. Continue reboot system now and turn off the phone (if necessary by removing the battery and repeat to enter fastboot mode).
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
9. Flash stock kernel:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
fastboot reboot​
10. Turn on the phone, check whether the application is installed SuperSU. Congratulations rooting successful.

Thanks, but that's not what i needed.
I already have stock rom rooted and working. Problem is if I install custom rom (FXP, PA), rom starts but no mobile signal and no IMEI. So I cannot use it.
Is there a way to like "copy/paste" IMEI from stock rom to custom rom?
edit: read somewhere on xda that this is a CM10 bug and CM10 based roms for xperia J.

disregard my last post (and previous post also)
fixed it!
what I did:
1. flash original stock ICS rom - 11.0.A.7.5.CE
2. reboot phone and then shutdown (not sure if this is necessary)
3. flash CWM img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034639
4. install custom rom (FXP233)
5. reboot
and now mobile signal works and IMEI is back.
hope it helps somebody and sorry for hijacking your thread Stoetel

Here you can find the latest Android 4.0.4 version for the Sony Xperia Tipo ST21
And here the CWM for Tipo.
Kernel can you extract from the ftf file. You can open th ftf file with Winzip or Winrar.
Flashtool. You can also use this program to check if your phone is bootlocked.
Go check this site if you need your phone to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the instructions above in the previous post. Or search on this forum for the solution.
Good luck.

[Q] Help needed with CWM, flashing etc. on Xperia J

Hey folks,
I ran into a problem with my Xperia J!
These are what I did:
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted with Doomlord's way
--Everything till now was OK--
Now, I flashed CWM from fastboot!
After that, the phone doesn't boots. It either goes into the Recovery or Rebbots with 'Green LED' ON and for 1-2 seconds, a green charging symbol appears and nothing happens at all after that!
Tried to flash aokp, but no help! :crying::crying:
If anyone could help me with these, I'll be very thankful
Thank You in advance!

Flash boot.img (this is cm10 kernel,include twrp and cwm) with flashtool ,enter cwm when you see pink light with pressing volume - button and flash aokp! Problem solved :laugh:
Boot.img you can find in my mediafire or 4shared folder for xperia j

You said, it includes twrp and cwm ?! And then, go into CWM Recovery? And is Vengeance kernel good to use after I flash AOKP?!

I never use AOKP rom,but I think kernel is included in rom zip file! Vengeance kernel is just for stock rom!

Try Installing Riches Kernel, it has Dual Recovery ( TWRP and CWM )

[Q] CWM on Xperia L

Hi,
i'm trying to install AOSPA on my Android, and for this I need a kernel with CWM on my device. To flash the kernel .zip, I think that I need CWM, but how I can install CWM on my device? Should I flash the boot.img contained in the .zip of the kernel via flashtool?

You should first make sure you have unlocked the bootloader. If your device is unlocked then you can flash boot.img on fastboot mode from flashtool or adb

What about the other files in the .zip (like the system folder)?

After you have unlocked the bootloader flash boot.img. That will give you CWM. I can recommend Phantom latest kernel version After reboot use CWM to flash AOSP on it. You need to place AOSP on the memory card or internal memory before though.

Sorry forget to mention that. First copy the zip file on your external SD card. Then flash boot.img. After you flash the boot.img. You will get CWM. Press volume down buttom multiple times to get into the CWM. After you get to the CWM install the zip. You are done now.
P.S.: The zip contain modules for wifi. If you haven't flash the zip file you won't get wifi working. At any time you can flash the zip file.

Xperia tipo dual bricked after installing custom rom.

I flashed using cwm a custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/xperia-z1-rom-tipo-dual-lb-ulb-users-t2927997) , specifically the S.P.3. I followed the installation as advised but after the installation finished when I rebooted the system wouldn't power on. The only thing it does is it vibrates as if it would power on and simultaneously the litlle light flashes green for one sec. I chose the intuise kernel and most xperia z1 settings. I ve got a nandroid backup but how can i flash it?

do you have an unlocked bootloader?

if your bootloader is locked, then you can't choose a custom kernel from the installer, i am the rom dev and i mentioned this problem specifically, and i said: if your bootloader is locked, then please choose "Stock kernel" in the installer, and i wrote it in big font.
now you need to re-flash stock rom using flashtool, and then proceed with rom installation again, and choose "Stock kernel" in the installer.
i hope this helped :good:

Thanks I have already manage to reflash using flash tool but it was a bit difficult as the only roms it recognizes are the .ftf ones. Anyway thanks.

[TESTING][ROM][7.1.2] CM14.1 for janice [TESTERS NEEDED]

02/22 Update: Project temporarily on hold until March due to school.
03/19 Update: I'm back.
03/27 Update: It booted
Hi S Advance Community! I don't own this device but I compiled CM14.1 and I need testers who know how to logcat, use odin to reflash boot image, etc.
THIS BUILD IS TOTALLY UNTESTED (i don't have an s advance)!!! AS A RESULT, RECOVERY MODE MIGHT NOT WORK AFTER FLASHING THIS ROM AND YOU'LL NEED TO FLASH STOCK ROM USING ODIN IF THAT HAPPENS!
I just need info if it boots or not, and logcat/last_kmsg if it doesn't.
Link of rom (for advanced users only)
YOU AGREE TO NOT KILL ME FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPENS TO YOUR PHONE!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120695238 (again, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK)
Kernel Source (for GPL Compliance)
EDIT: Use this guide on how to make a logcat/last_kmsg dump when the ROM doesn't boot if you don't know how to (no need to flash the zip on that thread as this rom is an eng build already).
EDIT #2: ROM doesn't boot so I need the /proc/last_kmsg file obtainable from recovery after a failed boot.

Thanks! Downloading it ?

I'm waiting for feedback from the already downloaded it. If successful, please share some screenshots. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for testing! While the phone is stuck on the samsung logo, can you press the 3 button combo for recovery for 10+ seconds (without pulling the battery before) until the phone boots to recovery and copy /proc/last_kmsg to sdcard using recovery then upload it here? I need to see the kernel logs if it's an init related issue or a library related one.

Yea ! The installation was a success but it didn't boot...Stuck On the splash screen...I will flash it again and will let you know the kernal logs and stuff.....Thanks For your support for Janice

I will send tomorrow because today i haven't had the time, so that the last time I installed this android even holding the 3 keys to enter the recovery mode the cell phone was stopped on the logo of samsung, would have some other way of copying the /proc/last_kmsg ? But tomorrow i will install again and I'll see if i go into recovery, sorry my english if it is bad is that i am from Brazil

On Codina must be enabled SELINUX with boot parameter - 1 and cmdline=selinux.bootmode=permissive to boot up Nougat. For MM this wasn't needed.

Can someone try flashing this boot.img to see if the rom will boot?

Thanks for reporting! No wonder why no one's giving me logs so I'm gonna make an odin flashable boot.img later with working recovery from some rom.

Hi guys! This is the just the odin-flashable tar of the boot image of PolishVodka's CM14.1 as recovery was said to work there.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw4AfK_vJ7JycVBST3pwS18tdms

Can I expect the recovery has been immersed in a new build? Maybe I'll try for it.

You know we have kernel + ramdisk + recovery on the same partition (initramfs)?
And here you'll see how this working:

Yeah I know about that partitioning layout but how should i name the initramfs for flashing in odin?
Edit: nvm about that i got what you're saying that there's something wrong about my initramfs. Thanks for the info

I could not install this new boot.img by Odin and cannot seem to get the log by logcat by that of a mistake "/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found"
