my cell phone is stuck at the SE logo.i was doing some "experiments" on xrecovery when i choose some option(dont remember i think it was format system). i cant connect it to SEUS or flash tool or pc companion.
note: when i connect it to the charger the cell turns on but it is stuck on the SE logo.when i connect it on the pc it doesnt do anything!! any ideas?????
You messed up big time. Why would you format the system without an image to replace it with?!?! The files for recovery are in the system as well and you totally erased everything. I don't know what you could do now if you can't get in flash mode. There is a warning about that option in the thread so why would you think it was a good "experiment" to format your system? I mean 'Format System' is pretty self explanatory. I think you are SOL, try and hit up Z and see what he says.

Did you use system wipe? If so your probably going to need to repair with Seus and start over. I don't remember a format system option but system wipe I do. I could be wrong though and I'm too lazy to reboot to xrecovery to check. I do believe you should be able to access flashmode even if you did wipe and leave it that way.

There is a 'format system' option. I believe its under advanced or one of the other submenus. A 'Full Wipe (factory reset)' you can restore. Formatting the system removes the system folder where recovery files are stored and formats everything. There is an explicit warning in the thread not to use that option.

OK I stand corrected. I do believe however that if the Sony Ericsson screen shows the bootloader is still active and you should be able to use flashtool to fix it.

take the battery out, and start the flasher, point to the firmware you want to flash
insert batery, hold <- (BACK) KEY ans plug the usb
should be flashing because your boot is ok
you should flash with an official rom 2.1 (my advise) because contains baseband and all files necessary to a good boot
reflash your BB firmware. Try to use the same one as you originally had or as close as possible. There are plenty of guides here on how to do it.
Hi have ran into the same issue a while ago.
I have been playing & swapping ROM on my HTC Desire for more than 6 months, so I decided to play my Xperia 10i.
The problem I had was I was changing Cyanogen to MIUI and I was in Xrecovery, doing full wipe, system format and I accidently do a reboot. And it as what stuck as SE Logo screen.
I am trying now to flash using FTF, and SEUS.
I will post it later when I have any progress.
UPDATES:
SEUS said that my phone software is up to date. However, I am doing a force update again. Looks good, the software is currently downloading.....
UPDATES:
Managed to salvage and unbrick my Xperia using SEUS back to 2.1.
Now redo the Busybox and Xrecovery again.

That process is quite quick, just use flashtool to install those files.
Next time make sure you read the flashing instructions clearly before flashing a custom rom to prevent troubles.
And DON'T use the format system function in xRecovery as you would screw everything up.

i experienced the same problem. I got flash tool and i used it to flash my x10i.
i unchecked the "wipe user data" option and then flashed with the generic firmware (because that is what i was using). i have all my old apps on it after the flash
My x10i is now back to normal..
can't identify my x10 with flash tool
hii there..i just bought my x10 and stupidly formatted system!! im trying to use flash tool..but how can it recognize my phone as it still stuck on SE logo?!!
pls....help
and how can i flash a ROM using it
Keep calm, you CAN fix it with PC Companion, just open PC Companion, click on firmware update (or something like that) its going to tell you that there isn't a phone connected then click on repair phone (or something like that, it appears like a blue hyperlink) and follow the instructions.
You need to have at least 50% battery before attempting this.
I have screwed my phone and fixed it twice xD
Next time make a Backup with xrecovery it will save you more than once :O

Hi chaps,
After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)
Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.
Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .
My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.
So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC
When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.
This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.

I can't seem to enter flash mode :/
I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.
Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)
Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?
Thanks
Edit - my antivirus was quarantining s1tool.exe! derp.

I have had problem like yours on x10i .
but about solotion:
just flash e15i nAa kernel file to your phone by flash tool before this phone must be rooted.100% worked for me .sorry about my english.:laugh:
Help
Hi,
i don't know if this comes under this section also,
i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.
So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.
I used flshtool 0.9.0.0
rooted the phone and installed busy box.
restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.
After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.
If i connect flashtool i will get the following:
02/046/2012 14:46:55 - INFO - Device disconnected
02/047/2012 14:47:16 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Android version : 2.3.7 / kernel version : 2.6.29
i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.
also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.
I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0
and tried the force root and here is the log:
Any solution ?
Thanks in advance.

You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:
Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool
Choose the flash-button
Choose the kernel
Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)
You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu
The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible
If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.
There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.

Thank you for your reply,
i'm not able to flash anything on the device.

In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible
I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.
But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that
Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.
Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.
Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.
Then flash the kernel.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.
and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.
It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,
i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.
The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter
and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!

You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card
Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.

Ok I understood that part.
My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.
it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.

Gentlemen, I couldn't find a section for Xperia Pro, please excuse me if this is misplaced.
I rooted my MK16i from ICS 4.0. according to a guide here on XDA forum, with no problems (from 4.1.a.435 .. i think).*
Then I installed system tuner and backed up the bloatware and what I believed was obviously named as packages that support them. Things were working great and the phone gained some performance improvements.
UNTIL, I installed Viber and Skype, and niether were working. I thought I would fix it by restoring all the backed up services and apps. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, it became useless
THe phone keeps rebooting. I get to the XPERIA loading screen and then it restarts again
I tried to connect it to the PC to flash another ROM with the Flashtool, but it is not recognized. All I get is in the computer screen a removable disk drive, that is not accessible.
Note: I didnt update the firmware after I rooted.
Can anybody help?
have you worked with flashtool before ? because there hardly could be any wrong with flashtool. use the latest version with proper drivers.
and since you have rooted phone, have you unlocked your bootloader ? if yes, then flash any custom kernel, go to CWM, then place rom zip on sdcard and stright flash rom via CWM.
flashtool should work though. you can try on different computer.
If flashing a kernel or installing custom ROM sounds a bit out-of-reach, you can always go for the repair option in PC Companion. It worked for me when I had soft-bricked my Neo V (it wouldn't go past the SONY logo). However, be advised that this repair option will erase your phone's internal memory. Also, your phone will be brought on the latest stock ROM, so you will need to root your phone again.
Good Luck!!! :good:

I tried to do somethingn like this but sony companion itself cannot detect the phone either.
My question is, is there a brick that cannot be fixed? I took it to a shop today and still they cannot fix it.
Have you tried to use sony update service?
How are you connecting your phone to flashtool?
Can you show us log from flashtool?
New development:
Now I tried to flash the phone with flashtool 32bit rather than 64-bit and it detected the phone! I could even flash the only firmware in Aeonworld's post Here.
Now I can see the phone connected in my computer.
However, the phone still won't boot but when I power on it gives black screen and after a short while, the led on the side becomes green.
For some reason though, I cannot continue with the rooting steps in his guide.
So anyways, after the second reboot, not the first for some reason, the phone gets detected in PC Companion, and I installed the update and now it is working again :victory:
Thank you all for your support.

Good to hear that bro!!! R&D always makes a man better
Murphy's law is with me tonight. Tomorrow, I'm meeting someone who wants to buy my xperia P so tonight I plugged out my sim-card, deleted my stuff on the sd-card and did a factory reset. When I rebooted the device to check if indeed everything was deleted, my pc didn't recognise the device. I tried on an other pc but no reaction. I hear the connecting sound and get a notification on the pc that says "usb device not recognised". I tried installing the drivers via SUS but that didn't change anything. I then tried if my sim-card worked but the device gives a notification: the simcard could not be recognised. My simcard is working correctly as it works in an other cellphone. I then thought I could install titanium backup to search for an old backup but I can't even get the wifi going. I also installed other roms but I can't mount /system. The device I have is rooted and unlocked.
Could you help me solve this issue?
Can't understand the problem exactly, is the device booting? If it is what does it mean you cannot mount system?
You also say you have installed other roms, that require mounting of system.
What FW is installed?

The device was booting but now it's stuck on the Sony image (before the loading image)
The problem is: the device doesn't recognise any simcard. I can't turn on wifi nor does the pc recognise my phone.
When in CWM (when I try installing a new rom that was already on the phone's sd-card beforehand) I can't mount /system.
I can pick a ftf from my sd-card to install a rom but afterwards the problems stay the same: no sim, no wifi, no usb connection possible.

After a lot of cursing and sweating I managed to get it in fastboot, install an ics ftf and now it's updating via pc companion (wifi and pc connection work as before). The only problem that still exists now is the fact that the device doesn't recognise my sim-card. I checked if I didn't put it in the other way around but it's in the right position. I'm sure the sim works because I tested it in another cellphone.
Thanks a lot for helping me
I have never flashed FW with fastboot only kernels.
Maybe it have flashed, TA partition which is normaly not flashed?
Lets see after the update.

I'm sorry it was in FlashMode The update gives me an error but somehow after I rebooted, the sim is now recognised :s
The only problem now is that I'm stuck in JB but I'm doubting to try anything else.
This cellphone has been nothing but random misery to me for the past 6 months The problem with the randomness is that I can't show it to the service centers (they keep on telling me they can't reproduce the problem).

Device:
Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833), Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) rooted, Built: 14.6.A.1.236 , Developer's mode & USB-Debugging enabled
Problem:
After updating SuperSU to 2.82 I had a bootloop. Did shutdown using small red button, restarted using recobery mode of TRWP (2.8.7.0) and did factory reset. Everything works again (WLAN, Apps, SD card access) but except the SIM card which is not recognized. IMEI not shown "About the phone", but correctly shown in diagnosis tool
Already tried:
- SuperSU 2.82 installed manually via TWRP. Works.
- Restored a full backup Sony PC-Companion, no success. Same with a Snappea backup.
- SIM proofed with different cell phone, works
- Other working SIM card tried with this phone, no success
- I blew a couple of times into the SIM card slot, no success
- Flashed the full ROM (14.6.A.1.236, rooted), no success
- Tried another factory reset, no success
I guess, there is a problem with the modem driver for the SIM card reader. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm a newby to root & stuff but I'm hoping, that somebody could help me. I'm very thankful for any hints!
Greetings from Germany!
Not sure how the imei got tweaked by updating the supersu..?
But I had the same bootloop with the new supersu on latest stock rom rooted.
Manually removing all root and manually flash the new via twrp didn't work for me either.
Flashed the old supersu and it boots fine.. so I just keep the update in playstore and don't press it.
Perhaps I will repack the supersu app to generate a unique file signature so it won't show up in play store on installed apps.
Perhaps the simcard got tweaked in the tray when you pushed the red button somehow? ...I dunno. Just a thought.
I have had issues with mine too. The tray is very flippy floppy and have gotten stuck several times inside the phone.
But have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Make sure that none of the options is ticked in "exceptions" so all partitions being flashed.
Do you know how to use flashtool?

Hi SUPERUSER, thanks for your quick reply!
It can't be the SIM card itself, since it works with my other phone. Also tried my GFs SIM in the C6833, also failed. Should be a ROM problem.
Tried to go back to SuperSU 2.79, 'cause that's how this mess all started (updating SuperSU), have the bootloop again, went back to 2.82. Works fine except the undetected SIM card.
Also tried 2 (probably dirty) modem fixes, this caused also loose of IMEI. Went back to my full backup using TWRP, where everything works (IMEI ok) except SIM card problem.
Just installed the flashtool, but it says, that the bootloader is locked. Unlocking it officially thru Sony website (developer.. sonymobile..com/unlockbootloader) requires installing full Android Suite (1.9GB) and further driver installtion using SDK manager. Is this the only way to use the flashtool? Other question regarding the Flashtool: Tutorials say: Copy ftf-File into the "firmware" folder, but there is no folder with this name. I checked the entire flashtool folder tree.
Isn't it possible to flash ROM in zip-format only using TWRP? Should I give DualRecovery a try too?
Thanks a lot! Appreciate your help!

Whats causing your problem is probably that your bootloader is locked.
But I'm not getting how you use twrp and flashing files if the bootloader is locked?
You can flash stock roms with locked bootloader. It dont require to unlock it.
You don't need to download the whole SDK for just using fastboot.
If you need fastboot you can download fastboot from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
After install choose the right driver for your togari in device manager to "Android bootloader interface"

Thanks again!
Fastboot sucessfully installed using your link, but I have a driver problem. The device works fine connected to the pc using Sony PC Companion oder Snappea. Do I need a different driver for running fastboot? Found "S1Boot Fastboot" in "Devices and printers" on my pc and I'm aware that the correct driver has to be installed manually, just don't know where to get it. Google didn't help much, I'm only found a zip on Sony web, which probably does not contain the one file I need for running fastboot.... Any hints?

PC companion is screwing you over because it has its own signed drivers. Perhaps these are proprietary and don't work with universal fastboot.
If you installed the 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 from the thread I linked AND installed the google driver when you were asked if you wanted.
Connect your phone in fastboot. Then choose the driver manually from a list. Scroll down to "Android Device" and select "Android Bootloader Interface"
You will get a warning that the driver might not work. Click yes and soon the device will be found and your phone will respond to fastboot commands.
If you need all drivers for example the flashmode driver you can download and install flashtool.
Then you get a folder with a driver pack in C:\Flashtool\drivers. The executable contains all the drivers to every xperia device.
Edit:
If you ever need the driver pack from flashtool I uploaded it to mega:

Cheers! Couple of steps further! Drivers installed, fastboot detects the device now, I unlocked the bootloader successfully using fastboot. Device now recognized by the Flashtool too.
How to flash the custom ROM now? Better using fastboot or the Flashtool? I'd prefer the flashtool due to my limited cmd experiences. But I don't know how to select the FTF-file, which I already downloaded.
Don't know how to add screenshots here directly, so I added 2 attechments: Flashtool Main Screen and Folder sctructure of Emma. There is no "firmware" folder where I can drop the FTF-file to.
If using fastboot, ftf-file won't work, right? Zip-Files only?
How to proceed? Cheers, again!

You downloaded the SONY EMMA flashtool. Not the one we need.
The name is a bit confusing because they are called the same.
The flashtool we need is this one. Download it via torrent its the fastest way.
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Uninstall Emma and install this flashtool.
...time for some ugly doodling
When you are done installing flashtool and are met with the UI you will see a main window as in image one. Press this button on the far right with the XF logo.
A new window will open with the name XperiFirm as in image two. Scroll down the list on the far left until you see the Togari.
Select your device. In my case I have the C6833. Now go to the list in in the middle. Click the "check all" button to fetch all updates.
When this is finished you will see a the latest "version number" on every "operator" in the collumn to the right.
Click the stock rom you would like to download in the list that correspond to where you live.
I always download customized DE because it includes the region I live in. Now look at the list to the right.
A list will appear under the "Available Firmware:". Click on the one you want to download. In this case there is only one entry.
Almost all older stock rom has been removed lately so it is very rare that you will find any old based on jelly bean or kitkat.
Anyway. When you click the one you want to download a new window will open as shown in image three
You will see some info. Double check the name is the one you want to download. If its right. Click download and make a coup of coffee.
When the download is finished you can close the window and let flashtool do its job. When its done.
You can see it in the log when it says its finished.
Now you want to press the button all the way to the left. That thunderbolt icon as shown in image four
A new window will open. Select flashmode and press ok as shown in image five
A new window will open and here you can see a list of which stock roms you have downloaded as shown in image six
Select the one you want to flash and look to the right in the "Exclude:" box. Make sure nothing is ticked.
And press flash when you are ready. And follow the instructions following by flashtool when it is ready.
Optional
If your phone is not detected in flashmode you need to install S1 - flashmode driver. You can do so by follow these steps.
Go to this folder as shown here in image seven
Execute the file as shown here in image eight
Select Flashmode Drivers as shown in image nine You don't need to select fastboot drivers. Because you already have this working.
If you want you can scroll down and select Xperia Z Ultra drivers as shown in image ten however this seems to fail in Windows due to driver signature verification.
Its not necessary to select it. Click install and hopefully the device will be seen when connected in flashmode.
For zip files. What you find here on the forum. You flash these in recovery. Not very difficult. You can find loads of guide on how to get started learning how to use recovery mode.
.img files. You flash via fastboot with cmd. Not very difficult either. Key tip here is to don't make typos or you need to rewrite the whole command again..which get boring fast.

Followed all your instructions. Custom ROM flash with (the correct) Flashtool was succesful. Now comes the hopefully magic moment, where I'm gonna reboot and see if SIM card will be detected....

SIM card NOT detected. I'm freakin' out!
Again tried the SIM card in 2 other phones, no problems. Tray and contacts shouldn't be the problem either, because I didn't to anything with SIM card and tray when the problem came up first after the stupid update of SuperSU and the following bootloop. Just pressed the tiny red panic button to shut down and went into recovery mode.
Just tried to use some thin folie between the tray and the SIM card in order to have some more pressure between SIM card and the contacts, failed.
Is it technically possible that a full custom ROM flash (with no ticked exceptions) still not formated the probably damaged SIM card modem portion/driver?
User pintspin has the same problem as above and he is much more into the topic than I am.
Still any hints? Wanted to avoid buying a new smartphone, still love the Ultra C6833 and its large screen...

I will ask him if I can obtain the ones that worked for him/her.
The modem should be flashed when you flashed the ftf file if the baseband portion is included.
This is the one I found in the thread ResurrectionRemix 5.8.3 25/05/17 [7.1.2] Nougat for Togari,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56234199&postcount=16
And this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/aosp-rom-sim-detection-t3185526/post62481536
I know I have used one other way back. It was two zips. You flashed them in a specific order or the phone would not boot.
But I can't find this one.
I uploaded my own modem files. Its the same files that is in the zip above but with the stock rom Im running.
Im guessing it might do something because its working on my phone. And its the same files that is being flash in the above zip file.
File is not flashable. Unzip and replace the in system/etc/firmware. Permissions 644. And reboot.
Or you could do it from twrp. Take a bit longer. Manually delete the three files one by one and then copying the files one by one.
Setting the permissions to 644 one by one.

@SUPERUSER done , uploaded here the working modem patch strangely from a different variant but worked fine... thanks for above help as well.
I can confirm that the attached modem patch is working perfectly fine ... on AOSP build ( 6.0.1 )
(*) @ac845 steps i suppose you already have your system.img and boot.img
Flash the aosp Rom images ( system.img ) and (boot.img) via fast boot OR if you dont have images of stock then just flash any stock rom zip from recovery i used twrp recovery after FULL WIPE OR if you even dont have both then just use Scrubber port GPE for togari 6833 z ultra
don't reboot
Flash the attached modem patch i.e. C6802_modem_patch.zip
reboot to system
on first boot it will take a bit ( 1 minute may be ) to detect and register the sim.
I have finished worked on my rom as well , will going to upload it hopefully today ... its purest aosp stock , can be rooted and gapps are also tested working fine , there is no Imei base band issue as well.

I (partially) understand, what you guys mean, but I don't know how to proceed and thus have to ask more beginner questions:
As recommened by SUPERUSER like 2 days ago I flashed a the .276 stock ROM. The device is of course unrooted now, bootloader open. I don't have a recovery mode (f.i. TWRP) where I can flash ZIPs. What would be the easeast way to flash a ZIP-file in this situation? I could try flashing with fastboot, but I don't know where to get the right .imgs. Wished I still had TWRP though. Sorry for bothering you, but for beginners like me it's too complex sometimes...

Download this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676273
To make it more simple. Rename the file to "recovery" without the quotes when the download is finished.
In your download folder on your computer hold down shift on your keyboard and right click on an empty space.
In the right click menu select "open command window here".
In the cmd. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
Turn your phone off. And boot it to fastboot. Hold volume up or down and simultaneously connect the usb cable to the computer.
If you did it right the phone should have a blue led on.
Now press enter on your keyboard inside the command window.
Hopefully you will see something like flashing and then finished.
How to boot to recovery?
Pull out the usb cable.
Now hold volume down and press power button.
When it vibrates let go. A few seconds you will se the twrp ui.
In addition to super user post above : For fast boot you need to press volume up and then connect PC USB cable when your PC is on and USB cable is connected to it ( you also need yo ensure that USB debugging is turned on ) goto phone setting and you need to press 8 times on build number in your about phone n phone will open a hiden option called developers option under phone settings and goto developer options n under that option you need yo select USB debugging on .

TWRP succesfully installed. Great to have it back!
But now it comes: SIM CARD DETECTED AGAIN after 2 weeks and endless hours of fiddling, reading forums and bothering you guys. You both are awesome :angel: and made my day!
What I did:
1. TWRP installed
2. full wipe
3. installed prerooted custom rom 14.6.A.1.236: Customized Germany (DE), source: https://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/stock-roms-mirror-root-tools-anleitung.559556/ Link: https://mega.nz/#!PoEElBZa!DlejjkTzCZGMXbJR0ZvgTk5i0gNqo4QSM0LIyyRKl1M
4. installed SUPERUSER's modem patch from above
5. rebooted: 1. time no SIM card detected. Wanted start crying :crying:, but rebooted 2nd time: SUCCESS! Broadband of my provider is back!
Now restoring messages, contacts and apps right now using Snappea. After reorganzing apps I'll do full TWRP backup and I hope that this problem never will occur.
During restore app process I'll go to a German beer garden and will raise my glass to you guys! :laugh: Want to donate both of you some money, please let me know how. Paypal?
Greetings from Germany!
George
Happy midsummer!
Well I find my joy in helping someone with their technical issues and it makes me happy when we find a solution. Its why I'm here..

Unfortunately it's not over yet!
SIM still not detected very often, but sometimes it does. SIM works for some hours but then it's accidently not detected anymore in locked-screen mode or in the middle of operation, app usage etc. Rebooting with detected SIM works in 1 of 5 times maybe. Restoring full backups doesn't make any difference.
Had the idea that it is a temperature problem and cooled the device down in the frosting fridge for a couple of minutes, but rebooting incl SIM detection works more often, but not always. Beside SIM problem operation is normal, no problems with WLAN, apps etc.
IMO it can't be a software bug since problem occures not generally. Before I'd send it in to Sony I wanted to ask the community if you have any ideas or recommendations?
Cheers!
