C6603 customized, unable to enter 'Service Info' screen

Hi all,

Longtime lurker and modder looking for some help. Had my C6603 for over 2 years and hope to run it into the ground.

Recently chose to switch provider, requested unlock code from current provider and awaiting. However in the mean time I am trying to get my unlock code window open, attempted entering new sim and just get limited network with no code request. Tried to find out service status but when I open dialer and enter Service Info *# code upon completion the code disappears from dialer but nothing happens. Have tried 3 different ROMs at this point in an attempt to get it to appear with no success.

Current ROM info;

Android Version: 5.1.1
ParanoidAndroid Version: 5.1
Baseband Version: 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110089-64
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-aospal-gc8a8575
Current Provider: Orange UK

Hope this helps.

[HELP] Tutorial for Rooting a virgin Xperia Z C6603 5.1.1?

hey guys

im very noob for mobile programming, so can u guys just give me a blunt yet gentle response, how to root an untouched Xperia Z C6603 5.1.1? (in very detail, pretty please?)

i just upgraded to 10.7.a.0.222 yesterday, my mind had been juggling off since i bought this phone 2 years ago, whether to root or not this....

with all the kinds of unfamiliar term used for rooting process (ROM, bootloader, flash, etc), i've come to realization, ROOTING is not for beginners, especially if they first time want to root their devices...

so could u all masters help to enlighten my poor, poor knowledge in rooting process?
