Z2 Network manager option not available - Xperia Z2 General

Hi guys, I bought z2 from dubai, when i came for vacation in india, it is not working as it is not taking any sim cards in india, i flashed it with al most all versions ftf but still it is not taking any sim cards. There is no (X) in sim lock but all figures are 0. When i tried to search the network mannualy, i found that there is no option for selecting network mannually. so guys please help to find a solution.

Maybe its hardware problem no software.

Did you flash the wrong models ftf? Like d6502 on d6503?
BTW if you sim doesn't work in the phone flashing a ftf won't fix it. Ftf files contain customisations stock bloatware and things, not addition sim support.

No I flashed only for d6503 and the most interesting part is I don't have the option to select network manually

You can use Emma program from sony. To back on stock its very easy.

[Q] G900F Network registration problem after flashing

Hi I have international version of S5 G900F. I flashed the phone with UK BTU stock rom. Now the problem is I cannot connect to the Network.
I tried going to Settings->More Networks -> Network Operators -> Select automatically . It took 5-10 mins to search but cannot connect.
Sim is not locked as it was working before I flashed the stock rom. also I read somewhere in internet that once the phone is region unlocked, it is permanently unlocked to use any other country sim. I don't know the original region of my phone but I bought it in Uk from 3rd party dealer not from any carrier.
I can think of two thing at the moment. It should be either regional locked again, but it does not prompt any thing to activate or enter pin or anything like that. or it should be wrong modem.
Is there a way to find if the phone is region locked ?
and is there a way to find correct region of the phone ?
the label on the box was removed so I cannot find from the box as well.
Thanks in advance.
I still haven't fixed this problem. Could someone suggest how to fix?
I've attached some screenshots with my phone info.
first image shows NETWORK:UNBLOCKED and IMEI Certi: PASS
-> I think this means, the phone is not blocked by network, and IMEI certificate has passed so it's not stolen or lost claimed phone.
another screenshot is the Firmware and CSC code/country information,
-> this means, this phone is build to sell in UK, so UK sim should unlock the regional lock.
Also the phone was working fine before I installed stock rom which I dowloaded from sammobile.
in the sceenshot, one of the network is connected but it says emergency call only because it cannot register to the network.
It is not sim lock also, because when I put T-mobile sim it does not ask for pin to unlock also.
what is wrong here. any idea guys? xda supposed to be the biggest android forum and samsung s5 is one of the most popular phone at the moment, isn't there anyone who have similar problem and solved? or atleast give some reason this cannot be fixed at all.
does the TMobile sim work? does it register with the network? If yes, then call the provider (of the other sim) and ask what's going on. Maybe you have a broken sim?

I've tried with Orange sim, and it still cannot register to the network. When I put the orange sim, it pop up a dialogbox asking to choose a network provider, there was two options, T-mobile and orange. So it is detecting the sim, but it cannot register.
And also, I tried my sim in another phone, and my sim works in another phone without any problem.
Did you try to flash the firmware again, and then after that restore factory defaults?

Yes I did, still it didn't work. I emailed samsung customer service with the problem, and they asked me to restore factory defaults.
I did that again but didn't work.
I tried one custom ROM as well. same problem in that rom.
You're rooted? If yes then there might be problem with the modem part of the ROM, can you install the official one part ROM and try with that?

I've installed stock rom several times, and several different versions( from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-G900F&pcode=0 ). Rooted several times, installed modem.bin files several times from many custom rom/ stock rom. None of them worked. I tried installing modem.bin when not rooted as well. And all the attempt failed.
I did everything I could possibly think of , Then I posted the question in the forum.
You have the IMEI ??!? Or it is lost?? Then only per efs-backup…
Or sim is broken…

Sry XanoZuke, I could not do anything to fix this, so I returned the phone and got another handset. I now have Exynos Octa-core version. Found snapdragon version is more power efficient. My phone gets heated very quickly.

Don't worry, I found out that the motherboard was water damaged (the irony of life....), so a bought an LG G3.

Sorry i end up selling the phone as is..
Same deal
My g900f has no mobile services sims fine
I have the same problem.
Cannot connect to network after flashing new ROM. Since then I tried about 10 different original roms and couple custom roms. Number of different MODEMs and BOOTLOADERs but with no joy. SIM card works fine in different phone.
Also I tried to load different CERT files and QCN with Z3X Box but that didn't help either.
I've tried *#0011# command here are results:
with LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto-connect:
imgur.com/i69HCBM
with WCDMA only:
imgur.com/QPbvKHG
and GSM only:
imgur.com/8InhQWQ
It seems that GSM is not working at all.
At this stage I run out of ideas and probably gonna get rid of the phone as it is or use it as pimped-out ipod touch
(sorry for messed up links but I can't post to outside sites yet)

[GUIDE] Convert your Z1 SOL23 into C6903 .108 with 32GB of internal memory

This is my first guide to write on XDA, so pls forgive me and report to me if you find some error
Pls make a backup first. I dont care if your device is brick/damaged/your house is on fire
Requirement
-Z1 SOL23, fully working
-Flashtool latest version with installed Z1 Flashtool driver (Be sure when you install driver with Flashtool Xperia Driver Pack, tick 3 boxes: Xperia Z1 driver, Xperia Z1 L39h driver and Xperia Z1 f SO-02F)
-SOL23 14.1.C.3.95
https://mega.co.nz/#!7xwQ0TCb!vEKyi_DdRLA7YgS4IjEvo7EFljUgqae7KgkFDRq8dgs
-C6903 converter
http://www.mediafire.com/download/csl0amuhkpgvycu/SOL23_4.4.4_14.4.A.0.108_Converter.ftf
The guide
1. First set you network mode in SOL23 into "GSM Only"
2. Install Flashtool with Z1 driver (already mention), download both file and paste it into Flashtool install directory (Normally "C:\Flashtool\firmwares")
3. Open Flashtool, choose SOL23 firmware (14.1.C.3.95) and in Wipe section, tick 3 boxes: APPLOGS, DATA, CACHE. And press "Flash" button below
4. While waiting for Flashtool for preparing the file, turn off your phone and prepare the usb cable
5. When Flashtool is require to plug the cable in, plug the usb cable into your phone. Then press Vol- button while plug the cable into PC
6. Flashtool will auto recognize the phone and will start to flash the FTF
7 When you flash done, turnon the phone and check if your ROM version is 14.1.C.3.95. Set the network mode "GSM Only" too
8 Turnoff your phone again. Open Flashtool and choose C6903 file. In Wipe section, tick 3 boxes like step 3. And in Exclude section, tick Partition and Baseband box. Then in Misc section, tick No final verification
9 Repeat step 5 and 6. After it was done, turnon the phone and you will see the result
Cons
-NFC still not working
Pros
All good!
Thanks for reading and remember press "Thanks" if find me helpful
Bump @MOD pls stick this thread so anyone with sol23 can find it
Bump @gregbradley pls stick this thread to help people with SOL23....
I'm sorry, but does that mean it would give me 32gb of memory on C6903? I think I didn't get this right, but it's worth asking xd

Since SOL23 is Japanese variant of Z1 with bigger memory (32GB!) and have NFC/Felicia..... and when convert to c690x rom normal process it just lost half of it memory (actually it's hidded from the ROM)
The only drawback is NFC not working....
And NO, you cant add memory to your devices physically (If you want to, search for "download ram" *j/k* )

just that i'm in europe, in romania, and here are other band for gsm and lte. on sol23 stock fw was working flowless without 3g, with 6303 fw 4g was working but not the gsm. i put back sol23 stock fw and sold it.
thx 4 the reply. guess ill just leave it as it is..
So let me get this straight...
Doing everything stated restores LTE and international Band functionality and the ability to function as a normal xperia z1 and is able to flash the updated stock roms or flash custom roms?
The sol23 has 32gb storage but the au stock rom forces it to half the storage. By doing this, I get 32gb storage?
Btw is unlocking the bootloader of the sol23 possible?
im trying to flash using methods provided in this thread, but i dont see option to exclude baseband. im on latest flashtool 0.9.19.0
Can i use Asia c6903 ftf instead of the c6903 converted.ftf?

D6603 Generic Canada 23.0.A.2.93 & 23.0.1.A.5.77 FTF's

I just received my Unlocked D6603 Xperia Z3 earlier this morning, which I ordered directly from my local Sony Store and backed up its firmware using PC Companion and Flashtool. I previously had a D6603 that I purchased locked from Rogers and just wanted to share this with my fellow Canadians since no body else was able to provide and share this because it's different from the Generic Global firmware I've tried on my Rogers Xperia Z3. But I'm not sure if it's the same as the Generic US firmware because I've never tried it, nor really wanted to because it's a customized version. This is the official version directly from Sony Style Canada and your local carrier's APN settings should automatically be setup once turning on your device after flashing it with this firmware. Tested with a Rogers & Fido nanoSIM cards and both APN settings for each carrier were installed upon turning on the phone.
Generic CA v23.0.A.2.93:

Edit (Update): Generic CA v23.0.1.A.5.77:

No need for this actually. Updates are available to download though Flashtool

Yeah but you need root to do that and the only way currently is to unlock the bootloader. I'm waiting for root with locked bootloader so that I can do this.
23.0.1.A.5.77 Just became available. I'm downloading it right now with PC Companion then going to create the FTF with Flashtool when done. I'll update my first post with download links to it once I've uploaded it to my Media-Fire account.
tnx man for doing this you contributed something that others cannot.
Thanks man, haven't seen an update ever on Rogers... much appreciated!
Just uploaded 23.0.1.A.5.77 and updated my first post with download links.

I think the generic US/Canada firmware is known as Customized US (customization number: 1288-7827). That's what it's referred to on XperiFirm and the Xperia arc's Generic US/CA firmware use the same name.

Good to know. I never knew that nor even wanted to try it because it was labeled as Customized.

Lollipop in UK for Z1

Has anyone got any idea when lollipop will be released in the UK for the Sony Z1 C6903 ??
Sent from my SGP611 using XDA Premium HD app
open a new Thread for this?
I think they will certify a new firmware and fix the current issues and rool it out to every region, just be patient current realese is bad; no clear audio, charging issue, memory issue...
Still looking forward to it.
is past updates are anything to go by it'll be months before we get it
I thought of that too. I think that they will release another firmware with bugs fixed...
I tweeted Xperia UK and had no reply yet, also tweeted 3 UK as my phone was from them and they did come back but said they have no timescale yet
I don't understand the logic one of the largest and most lucrative markets has to wait the longest.

I'm new to the Z1 but I wouldn't recommend that ROM because the Hong Kong release is for the GLOBAL-LTE network. You want something like the generic France release which uses EURO-LTE.
Here's what I did.
1. Use XperiFirm and download 1276-5833 (Generic France that uses the same EURO-LTE network as the UK)
2. Use Flashtool to create an FTF from the download
3. Use PRFCreator to pre-root the ROM. Include SuperSU, XZDualRecovery (flashable) and select all of the checkboxes
4. Copy the flashable ZIP to your phone
5. Boot to TWRP and wipe cache, data, dalvik, system and then select to install the ZIP that you copied to the phone
You can debloat the ROM by using a file manager that supports root e.g. ES File Explorer.
Here's a question for everyone though. Is the option to use GSM (2G) only removed from Lollipop? I don't see the option anymore and I'm not sure if it's due to a region specific /vendor/overlay/ change.

Thanks.
So it's going to be a country specifc change in /vendor/overlay/ then. What people don't realise is that the ROM's they're installing for other countries are all slightly different. Some of them will display LTE instead of 4G, some will restrict options and some won't use things like fast dormancy. The included apps and basebands are also different.

yes.....I think the same me too.......is for that reason that I had and I will install always rom from my specific country, and it's for that reason that I make a post with pre-rooted lollipop generic IT for Italian people, where I came from :highfive:
Rumoured to be tomorrow morning for z1 O2 in the UK. Z1c gets it later on the same day. According to posts in O2 forums.
Looks like Vodafone version is released. Nothing on other carriers or generic
It's not on Vodafone as yet either via OTA or PC Companion, as I've just checked...]
It's available via PC Companion ...
Yup, Vodafone rolling out now on PC but no OTA!

Wow that was pretty accurate.
The generic, O2 and Vodafone versions have been released. Mines a Vodafone version and it offers me the update via the phone itself, but I'm going to flash the generic one since I don't actually use Vodafone and don't want any of their bundled apps.
Apart from an app called Discover and one called Updates; those are the only two "forced apps" on the Z1 via Vodafone. Which of course can be disabled...
Sky Sports Mobile TV no longer works, I've posted a comment on their forum to make them aware of this issue
