Nevermind. Did a clean ftf install. Will now proceed to install dualrecovery again and root. I think the problem was i installed dual recovery after having it installed already. That made everything crazy I guess.

My Xperia ZL C6503 does not recognize SIM card

After updating, following the tutorial to the letter, my phone does not recognize the SIM card. I have already installed a new generic rom (through Flashtool), did a reset to factory default, but nothing worked. How have the functions of my SIM card back?
Thanks for the help already ...

What rom version did you use before you installed this one?

Which rom version did you try the full rom flash on?

What is your exact model number?

this is already pre rooted .read the OP .. u have to switch off after u flash .230 and flash the stripped ftf .. if u are coming from previous rooted fw it should work too . 4.2 fw might require wipe

Great thanks. Still cant get into recovery mode even after clean install of FTF (.230/ not rooted) and installing dual recovery..... Very frustrating. Can you please advise (again/sorry) steps to go into recovery mode? Thanks a million.

If you flashed a stock FTF (clean one, without root), then the only way to get root is by unlocking the bootloader (which voids your warranty). By flashing a stock FTF you don't get [NUT]'s XZ Dual Recovery, nor root.

If you want to get root while keeping your warranty (keeping your bootloader locked) you need to downgrade to a stock 4.2.2 FTF (say, from firmware 2.67), root it, flash a custom recovery and then flash one of the ZIP files available on the OP.

Keep in mind that you should perform a clean install (with factory reset) every time you flash a new firmware. then and only then you'll will have a clean stock 4.4.2 firmware with root and locked bootloader.

Thanks, my problem is solved, it was hardware error (coincidentally at the time of installation of the rom).
Now, Gravity box does not work with Xposed framework. Tested the Gravitybox JB in Update Gravitybox .101 and .230 update in KK; both show the message "The framework of Gravitybox unresponsive. Leaving." (maybe in English the message is different).
I Flashed again the .569 update, I tried to root (old method flashing .423), the device went into boot loop. Root was done unlocking the boot loader. Still Gravitybox not work.
Please help me. I need this module.

Does anyone else have the problem, that the time and date is wrong in TWRP? I can't get it to automatically set itself and judging by the name of my backups it worked on 4.3. I guess it could be Kernel related?
