Hey guys!
I am encountering a very annoying problem. Everytime I flash a ROM like these:
- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540652
- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609354


I have IMEI: 0 afterwards.

The only ROM that works is:
- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464072

What happens ?
- Flash: C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.tft (Flashtool: flashmode)
- Flash: boot.img (Flashtool: Fastboot mode)
- Wipe Cache, Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvic Cache, etc. (CWM)
- Flash: aokp_togari_kitkat_nightly_2014-04-30.zip OR FXP303-cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-togari (CWM)
- Flash: aokp-full_gapps-kk-20140211.zip OR GApps_4.4.2_full.zip (CWM)
- Reboot
- IMEI: 0
- Doing the same with Paranoid Android 3+ or 4+, IMEI: CORRECT
- RomManager: Fix Google Permissions doesn't work!


Am I doing something wrong ?! I am very happy for every helpful Post. Thanks !

yep, doing it wrong ;)

all the new roms need the newer FTFs as a base so flash Sony 757 FTF (can exclude system if you dont want to boot the sont firmware) then the boot.img of the ROM then the ROM

Awesome thanks for the information. I want to test it but apparently can't find any download link. Any sources for stock TFT firmwares (C6833 DE) I only find tft files for CE or can I use CE too?

    just use the Generic EU / CE one, in fact any of them will do just fine

    I tested it with .681 and it worked pretty fine for me. Anyways thanks !
    Any difference between using .681 and .757 for flashing custom rom ?

    no, not really, they even be the same baseband
