Hello guys, I'll describe my situation here before getting dirty with the phone:
Phone: Xperia Neo MT15i
Android Version: 4.0.4 (Via PC Companion)
V. Kernel: Stock 2.6.329-perf compilation 4.1.B.0.431
A nice detail here, I had signal
The mobile was bought "free", I had different SIMs from different companies and that worked nice.
I unlocked the bootloader via the official way from the sony web, it went well. (I read in some posts that I lost my DRM, it scares the s**t out of me because I really don't know what is that)
Then I entered fastboot and type fastboot boot boot.img, this boot.img is the NeoRecovery.img, which contains CWM.
Then i insalled de super user.zip for beeing root, AND THAT'S IT.
Now, I have my rooted 4.0.4 with NO SIGNAL.
I insert my PIN code, then I get prompted with the Language selection menu, and then the following message:
Please insert SIM card and restart your phone
All this steps OVER AND OVER AGAIN
(I've tried with 3 different SIMs, and I can't even register in my network)
I've searched a lot, and don't know what to do here. Some help would be nice!
Thanks!!
Not sure about no signal problem, but interesting is that you get setup wizard every time, if I understood you ok.
Go to settings->backup&reset-> and do factory reset, it will wipe your data, so make backup.

Hello Madfysh, I wiped my data a few times (also from CWM) and still nothing
The worst part is that now PCC won't fix my device, so I don't know where to head next.
Should I try a custom kernel..? Should I re-lock my bootloader (how?) and trying from PCC?
Thanks!
EDIT: After some loops, I decided to flash my phone with the MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf file using flashtool verison 0.9.0.0, I think that contains the ROM only, because the kernel that I'm using is still the same. Nothing new I'm afraid
well, you can relock it, and use PCC. Always good step in solving the problems, first try with stock reflash, then move on
How to relock, you can find in Neo V dev section, sticky thread.
Many thanks for the information, I'm going to try it right now.
Excuse me for asking but do you know if re-locking may cause brick / not entering fastboot again / not beeing able to unlock again?
Thanks!

I didn't hear that happened to someone.
Well finally I got it working, re-locking the bootloader did the trick.
Thanks Madfysh you're awesome. :good:

Interesting..
Flashing .ftf didn't help, but re-locking did, right?
isnt relocking done by flashing ftf alone?

If that was toward me, by .ftf i meant on entire .ftf which he mentioned in his post, not on the relock .ftf.
After unlocking the bootloader flashed magisk and data decrypt imei and baseband are lost can I restore it?before going to service center:crying:?
Download a global Stock ROM for your device and just run the flash all.bat file and let it run may take awhile and phone will be fresh again
HELP !!! I'm getting the same issue but don't care if i brick the phone.
No matter how many times i flash use different roms i still lose my IMEI/Baseband
I have an external SD card but it looks complicated to backup the EFS file to the SD card and then restore it to the phone but is that my only option ?

Did you flash a recovery rom or a fastboot rom? You should find flashing the fastboot rom restores everything correctly.

Every time I got this problem I found that flashing a fastboot ROM fixed it. I never managed to find any other solution that actually worked. Googling the problem I did find some solutions, but I didn't try them all. I just gave up and kept stock ROM with Magisk, then debloated it as much as I could. All I can suggest is seeing what Google throws up and seeing if any solution works for you.
anyone found a fix yet?
I have the mistake of rooting my device and disabling the encrypt, Now I have unknown baseband and my imei is blank. What do i do now?

Hello dear fellow mido users. I am trying to solve a problem here and I would very much appreciate your help on this:
I am running latest MIUI Stable Global flashed from fastboot, I have IMEI, but I don't have mobile signal. WiFi & BT works fine.
How I got here:
Bricked the phone about half a year ago
Ressurected it a week ago via connecting the pins in the back and flashing via edl.
I have unlocked it officially, as I had it unlocked before.
I have flashed TWRP & latest official RR, but it bootlooped, because my /persist partition was freaked out, so I reflashed it from the extracted fastboot ROM and I booted.
However, both my IMEIs dissappeared, and I only had the first IMEI from the back of my phone. So I calculated the second IMEI per a tutorial (from a Czech site) and restored both IMEIs via the Qualcomm QPST xqcn file, verified both IMEIs are showing up on my phone and are valid as per online IMEI checkers.
However, the signal didn't work, so I reflashed another mido device's IMEI (I have my original IMEIs backed-up) and flashed latest MIUI fastboot ROM, still no signal.
And here I am, and I am asking you for help..
If anyone can help me or at least point me in the right direction I will be eternally grateful :angel:

"Ressurected it a week ago via connecting the pins in the back and flashing via edl." - are you sure you didn't accidently disconnect the antenna cable from the motherboard end or from the USB board end while doing the tespoint connection to get into EDL mode?

Thank you so much for your reply. I just checked, the cable wasn't disconnected, but I dis-and-reconnected it just to make sure. Still no signal.
I should mention I reflashed my original IMEI and verified that its valid once again. I am attaching links to pictures of the back of my phone disassembled if anyone can spot something wrong: PHOTOS.
Still hoping for a solution.

Okay, starts to be interesting. Did you play with the band selection? Probably the band has been changed to US?
Hope you have Magisk (root) - if not please flash Magisk.
I presume ADB is already installed.
Put the phone to airplane mode.
From a PC open a cmd and issue adb shell
or start a terminal emulator on your phone
Then issue these commands in the shell
su
pm clear com.android.providers.telephony
settings put global preferred_network_mode 10
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 10
settings put global preferred_network_mode2 10
Remove airplane mode.
Restart.
Check again.
If still not works:
Start phone in fastboot mode
Issue these commands from PC cmd:
fastboot devices << just to make sure you phone is recognised
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
It will restart.
Check again.
Anyway, if you issue *#*#INFO#*#* or better known as *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer then selecting Phone 1 or Phone 2 (according to the SIM slot you want to check) in the top right or lower left there is a band-select menu (not in MIUI but in other custom ROMs) so there you are able to select the correct band if you want (that would mean you flash any custom ROM from TWRP or any custom recovery for a couple of minutes, go to dialer and look around)

Click to expand...

Tried everything you said in order, still doesn't work. In normal fastboot, fastboot erase modemst1 results in this image isn't allow download. So I used mfastboot and it worked, however still no signal. When I try to switch the band in the options menu, there are two options: Automatic and United States. When clicked, both result in: Set [United States/Automatic] Unsuccessful.
And I just noticed it erased my IMEI again... Maybe the IMEI wasn't really there the whole time?
What is the proper way to flash both IMEIs? (I know them both)

I have the impression that the IMEI wasn't even there..
Flashing it is not possible.
The partition called EFS - in TWRP - is the one storing these kind of IDs.
If you have a backup of EFS you are good to go.
I used to tell people that before doing anyhing (before even unlocking the bootloader)
just do QCN info backup so in case of IMEI / Wifi MAC / Bluetooth MAC issues it's easy to restore..
Your case is a bit more advanced since you have no backup - so you have only one way to get out from this situation:
re-generate the QCN info. I advise you to use >>this<< tutorial (files are attached to the post) to properly re-generate and push back the correct info.
And here's the ultimate guide as well: part 1 and part 2

Okay, I followed the first tutorial and successfully restored both IMEIs, still not working. I noticed, while flashing the xQCN file, it gives me a message about the model number of the phone not matching the model number of the xqcn file. Is that normal?
Last resort is to follow the second tutorial and redo everything.

Something is not quite straight here - the QCN file there is for Mido, that's 100% sure.
You started the thread with this statemenet: "Bricked the phone about half a year ago"
What did you do exactly? Once I had a phone - remotely resurrected - that has been flashed with a markw ROM (Redmi 4X) instead of Redmi Note 4X (mido) and the guy experienced something similar.

Pasting from a thread I made back when I bricked the phone:
Here's the situation:
Was on stock MIUI Global 9.5.8.0 with RedWolf Recovery.
Did a backup and flashed LineageOS
Wasnt happy with it and flashed back the backup, including the Firmware and EFS partitions, basically every partition
Bootloop, WiFi and BT driver prolly messed up, cant connect and restarts upon trying to connect to WIFI/BT.
Tried flashing other firmware, various combinations of wipes, flashes, MiFlashTool fastboot rom, nothing helped.
Tried flashing with EDL, the newest ROM gives me "Too many lines in XML file", old ROM flashed fine, but then couldn't even get to fastboot.
Now: Can't get to fastboot nor recovery, phone goes to EDL mode w/ red LED blinking when connected to PC.
QFIL gives me "Cannot read packet header, read 0 bytes", same with MiFlash.

Does it looks like a decent version info or say "unknown"?

With the earlier Xperia phones you needed to unlock the bootloader before flashing (that you are allowed to unlock doesn't mean that your bootloader is unlocked). To unlock you need the script and the code from Sony. At the moment I don't remember where to get both (script and code). And what about DRM-keys?, is it there a TA-partition to backup before unlocking? And so on...
I uploaded an update for newflasher here: github.com/munjeni/newflasher/issues/6. Tested with J9110.

How did you use the 2 files in the patch? Just copied them to Newflasher folder and run the whole process with the new .exe file?
How many times did you get error 997? Did you redo the whole process from the beginning or did you just unplug and replug the phone while the process was running?
Thnx
New version v14 is out!
I guess you have not installed Gordon Gate driver.

I managed to flash my new Xperia 1 to Customized UK and EE UK firmware without problems. I didnt delete anything like .ta files etc. I just copied newflasher files to Firmware Folder, downloaded from XperiFirm and run Newflasher.exe in flash mode.
Vodafone UK carrier lock still exists after flashing though!

Download Flashtool, install it, then go to folder c:\\flashtool\drivers and install driver package, checking the first two options, flashtool and fastboot drivers. Then your mobile will be discoverable in flash mode. Shut down your phone and while turned off, keep volume down button pressed while connecting usb cable, till green light shows up

You probably messed up something, don't ever lose your efs partition backup.
Did you flash csc or home_csc with odin? Use the csc without "home".
home_csc doesn't wipe your phone completely, also backup your data, pictures etc somewhere else as it might erase those too(haven't done this since forever so I don't remember).

Which firmware files have you flashed?
Also make sure it's the right one for your sim card.
Other things: Shut down, take out sim, boot without it. Shut down again, insert sim and boot it, see if you get anything on start.
Can you make calls even though it's supposedly enabled?

Again, you didn't take a backup before trying something weird and later something weirder, why?
I'd suggest reflashing stock but you should wait for someone else to try and help you as it may involve fixing partitions among other things.

Welcome, well good thing you had that. Worst case you'll have to take it to Samsung and them wanting to replace hardware, best case things haven't been overwritten so it's restorable through some method.
Pick a custom ROM and stick to that when you fix it.
In the future always make backups, especially since it's a Samsung phone and things that control your IMEI are more reachable than they should be.
Good luck!
