Can't recover IMEI using Tutty/Putty/Hyperterminal

Hi there!
I bricked my p920 a week ago while trying to flash the ported 3D-ICS rom from xbsall. I don't really know what I did wrong, but somehow I destroyed my bootloader.
However, using the "p920 resurrection guide" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836), I was able to boot my phone again and to restore my nandroid backup, so that I'm back to stock-GB now (rooted, CWM installed).
Everything works fine, except that my phone does not find any network and has no IMEI anymore (yes, I know, these two symptoms are connected )
I tried to recover my IMEI using this guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330), but I always get stuck at point 9 of the instructions (trying to type in the original IMEI using Tutty).
So far, everything goes according to the guide. I connected Tutty with my phone using COM-port 3 (the only port available in Tutty) and when I type "AT" in Tutty, the expected "OK" comes as a response.
But when I try to type "at%imei", the only response I get is "ERROR" and no dummy-IMEI shows up.
By accident I also typed "atimei" one time, the response I got was "56000 56000 OK".
...later today I'll add a screenshot with my latest Tutty-session...

So, what am I doing wrong? So far I tried all that with two different Win7(64bit) PCs and via a virtual PC running on WinXP (32bit). All drivers for my phone, Omap and Infineon are installed (Edit: at my last try yesterday, the Infineon-driver didn't seem to work. After starting CP-download mode my PC gave an error, stating it wasn't able to install drivers.)
I also tried to use Putty and Hyperterminal instead of Tutty, but with the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Bye
a noob with an O3D

I was in the same boat as you but i flashed v10k kdz file with lg b2capp and my Imei was restored.
Hope this helps

Yup..just flash kdz file and your problem will gone
Use This Tuts

Fixed it!
Good news!
I fixed my problem.
Thanks for your suggestions about flashing a kdz, but I fixed it another way, because I wasn't able to find a functional download link for any kdz-file. o,O
So here is my solution:
I think my problem was, that I backed up my system with my original nandroid-backup too early.
I repeated the whole "resurrection guide"-procedure and let the V21E stock OS installed, in this OS I had no problems fixing my IMEI using Tutty,
Afterwards I then just booted into CWM and flashed my nandroid-backup from before this whole s**t.
I thank all of you on this wonderful forum, special thanks to all the devs for their life-saving guides!

[Q] Help Me

I try to upgrade to Jelly Bean Mini Project and successfully but after reboot only logo CM10 display continuously and can no longer be in recovery with CWM or update / Repair via PC Companion, I try to flash again but always fails because USB Debugging Off, "how to enable USB Debugging..?" ... Previous HH I already unlock the bootloader.Tks b4.(Sony Xperia Tipo Dual)

Hello,
Could you provide us with a little bit more information? Because I don't fully understand your question... So you are in a bootloop, and you can't recover with CWM?
And you say you can't flash because off USB debugging off? That isn't correct. Androxyde's flashtool works even for devices without USB debugging on!
And you can always try Sony Update Service. Perhaps that'll work.
Please give a little bit more information, so we can help you out! What have you tried? What is the problem with Flashtool? et cetera, et cetera...
Cheers, and good luck!

I suggest next time You use TWRP instead of CWM

Are you flashing with androxyde flashtool?

systemui has stopped

Hi, hope someone can assist.
My wife's changed the wallpaper on her M2 earlier. It caused the systemui to force close, and has gone in to an endless loop of force closing.
It won't connect to the Sony Companion app, and USB debugging is not enabled so I can't adb.
The phone is completely stock, not rooted, locked bootloader, no custom recovery etc.
The only thing I can do is power and volume up to reboot. It still misbehaves in Safe Mode.
Any idea how I can sort this? Preferably without losing data.
I don't have any experience with Sony devices, not even sure how to boot to the bootloader
Thanks.

Fc of wallpaper change?!
Can you change it?
Try repair with pc companion or flash ftf with Flashtool in both ways you loose data.
Good luck.

Yeah, thanks mate, sorted it last night. I ended up flashing with Flashtool.
It was weird - I think she somehow interrupted the process when it was changing.
The bootloader set up is weird on this phone - hold volume down with the phone off and plug in for fastboot?! No image to tell you you're in the bootloader/fastboot?!
I think next time she gets a new one I'll make her get a Nexus!

Glad you sorted out. You only got blue led to know your in bootloader and that's it. ? Now it won't be that hard to convince her to get Nexus
All the Best

I know but...
I know it's solved but when you flash untick the data and cache and it'll stay the same letting all your data intact (well if you have root explorer you'll know they're the different folder /ext, /system, and ext. and all it does it not reset the /data BUT, games may reply on android ID so you may lose data on some things.

I don't think that would work, just flash a 5.1 FTF again and see what happens.

I had already done it, but did not work , I put the TFT 5.1, 4.0 and none of them worked

What does it say in rooting status under configuration.

@ogunja do you know how to restore .ta backup created automatically by the flashtool before the flash process?

No idea, the first thing I do on every Xperia I root is take backup with BackupTA, never used flashtool to manage backups like that

[Solved] Help on downgrading to backup TA at E6633

Hello! I'm a little bit new here.
I'm trying to backup my TA before I unlock the bootloader and root my phone. I'm following this guide and I'm currently stuck on the downgrading part as I couldn't find a FTF file for my Z5 Dual (E6633). I did search around and found this but when I opened up Flashtool and looked at the firmwares, it was listed as E6653. I don't want to risk bricking my phone, so I'm posting this to ask for help and clarity. Should I downgrade just to backup my TA files? Do you guys have a legit FTF file of 32.0.A.6.152 for E6633? Thanks.

}
EDIT:
After searching around and confirming that the Universal TA Backup v2 works on 6.0.1 (Marshmellow) which the E6633 has a version for, I started to downgrade from there. Long story short, I succeeded in backing up my TA!
Here's a how-to step-by-step of what I did if ever you have the same device as me. Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6633)
Requirements:
- Flashtool
- Z5 Drivers
- Any E6633 firmware up to 6.0.1 (I used this)
- Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2
1. Place the firmware you downloaded at ..\.flashTool\firmwares. This is usually located at %userprofile%.
2. Open Flashtool. Let it do its thing if you ran it the first time.
3. Plug in your device. Flashtool should detect your device.
4. Click the lightning () icon. Leave it at flashmode, and press OK.
5. Select the firmware you've downloaded. If you downloaded what I used, select Central Europe 1 Generic > 32.1.A.1.185_R6C.
6. Tick all the options in Wipe Sin. Do not tick any other boxes in Wipe Misc TA, Exclude Sin & Misc TA.
7. Flash. Follow the instructions of what Flashtool tells you to do.
8. Setup your device.
9. Enable developer settings.
10. Turn on USB Debugging.
11. (Extract backupTA_v2.zip if you haven't before) Run backupTA.cmd.
12. If prompted by the device, allow USB debugging.
13. backupTA_v2 will tell you it's successful. To double-check, your TA.img should be approximately 2MB or 2,048KB.
