Hi, after a bit more research the only differences between the SO-03E and the SGP321 I can find are:

SO-03E has 32Gig on board memory whilst the SGP321 has 16gig. SO-03E supports LTE bands 1/19/21 whilst the SGP321 supports 1/3/5/7/8/20. I reckon the rest of the specs are identical. Looking at the specification for the CPU and modem, they are the same for both models and also for the Sony Xperia Z phone! All that Sony has done however is to only include the three basebands for LTE which match the frequencies deployed by NTT Docomo (ie Band1 (2100) Band19 (800) & Band21 (1500Mhz) as per listed here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks). The modem is not built into the SnapDragon S4 CPU chip but a separate chip (Qualcomm MDM9215M) which is identical to the Sony Xperia Z phone! As such,

When I decrypted the updated files from SUS I got three Modem SIN files:

amss_fs_1_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

amss_fs_2_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

amss_fs_3_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

Which I would assume for each of the data services supported by the SO-03E:

1. GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900

2. UMTS/HSPA Bands 1/19/5/6

3. LTE Bands B1, B19, B21

I can confirm that I have put a Telstra pay as you go data sim into my tablet and I get HSPA+ downloads when connected at 3G (a small H+ shows up in place of the 3G on the wireless signal symbol on the bottom right hand side f the tablet). Telstra uses 3G band 1 which is 2100Mhz which is what the SO-03E supports. The tablet definitely does not connect with LTE however because of the LTE bands supported on this version of the tablet. In Australia, the carriers are using band III (1800Mhz).

So, I think I will need to wait unil the SGP321 is released and get a copy of the modemsw which will enable the LTE bands I require. Looking at the datasheet for the modem MDM9215M, there is only one version and it supports all LTE bands!

Extracting system.sin isn't the issue. Its extracting the files from system.sin. When using the latest FlashTool it extracts to a system.ext4

Just spoke to my local Sony store 1 month on, they have 14 units on order, but still no release date for them!

Online dispatches have the 22nd//23rd May as the release, but they've not got a due date.

If Google announce a decent table at the I/O over the next few days, then I'll probably go for it.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] UserX10:
Exactly

Just follow the how-to
[Xperia Tablet Z General] reptile64:
Thanx! It worked :D
[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
Guys,

quick left field question. Do you think it's possible to change the device name on the SO-03E to SGP321 so that SUS re-flashes the SO-03E with the rest of world LTE image on the SGP321? I would really love to get LTE working at 1800Mhz here in

With regard to the broadband files within the FTF, are they the following SIN files:

amss_fs_1_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

amss_fs_2_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

amss_fs_3_S1-MODEMSW-LIVE-5CA3-PID1-0002-MMC.sin

where each would be for the following:

1. GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900

2. UMTS/HSPA Bands 1/19/5/6

3. LTE Bands B1, B19, B21 (2100/800/1500Mhz) - The three registered Docomo LTE bands!

thx

[MENTION=5257746]spyderboyant[/MENTION],can you also creat the ftf for 10.1.E.0.244? Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
sorry, but my device got upgraded before I backed it up. Version 265 has just come out and I will grab that tonight.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zer0K3wL:
looks like rumours where true tablet z has awfull touch panel altough an update just came out probably fixed that.

some guy's where saying tablet z was much worse then xperia tablet s had touch panel issues.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Who said that? There were no issues with Touch Panel as such - after the latest update I can see that now there is NO lag in the default launcher !!

Xperia Tablet Z is the best android tablet I have used and just to let you know I have used these tablets so far:

Sony Tablet S

Sony Tablet P

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(my frnd's)

Samsung Nexus 10
[Xperia Tablet Z General] UserX10:
Full agree with that

That won´t work :(

By the way is there a SGP321 FW available ?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zer0K3wL:
fanboyism makes blind to issues.

Tablet z launcher looks like outdated ICS launcher.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
So I'll have to wait for SGP321 FTF and extract the modem.sins and put them into the SO-03E FTF?

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

SGP321 won't be available until the end of may when the model is released. I used SUS the other night and only SGP311 and SO-03E images were available...

On a side note, can you get into recovery mode on the XTZ if it isn't rooted? If so, how do you do it? Also the rooting approach for the Xperia Z phone which is meant to also work for the tablet Z as quote here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2186368 by DoomLord) has at step "12. at this point open Phone & dial *#*#7378423#*#*". How do you dial a number from the tablet?

thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z General] UserX10:
I haven´t rooted, so don´t know.

For the dial problem, maybe there is an app dialer for that? Or is this only working in the stock dialer?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] rankman2004:
just ask, if any way to root on SO-03E with firmware .250/265? no one can post the .244 firmware:(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] staynam:
No one can get 244 ftf. Unless he did backup before Docomo's 250 update come out.

My tablet is still with 244 but I couldnt get anyway to extract e firmware out to a FTF file.

Shipping date on the Sony site for this has pushed forward to the 20th May.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
hey bro, I got this earlier than you :p

By the way - you already pre-ordered, right? Its a dam good tablet !!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
It's on pre-order mate, spoke to my local store who now has the release date as the 25th May, but the site says 20th?

Said he'd be in touch if it changes :)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Psykhe:
I got a call from Sony this afternoon (in Germany) that the delivery (which was previously at the 22nd-23rd) will be delayed by one week. My order info still states that date, though, but I am inclined to believe that the phone call represents the more up-to-date information. 32GB wifi version, preordered at the 22nd April.

Oh well, one more week to cancel the preorder if reviews say it is bad. Assuming any are out by then.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Ah, so it would seem that around the 25th May is an appropriate release date.

More delays, grrr.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zer0K3wL:
AOSP comming to tablet z looked perfectly smooth but when the guy hit back button it would't respond at all guessing it lags or still have issues.

i hope in future sony devices will be well supported and primarly get AOSP updates with sony stock stuff being updated seperatly just from the playstore which should be lot easy'r.

I hope this tablet won't be screwed like tablet s and xperia tablet s because if it does then probably won't give them a 2e change anymore for now i choose to stick with nexus 7 untill something good comes up.

good luck to you guy's you gonna need it.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Felimenta97:
Considering it got AOSP when only a few lucky owners got it before international release, I think it will have some good support by Sony and even from devs.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Zer0K3wL:
Just hope that when 4.3 comes out that sony skips 4.2.2 go straight for 4.3 which will give performance optimisations which probably would be awesome for tablet z.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] spyderboyant:
Yep. I have a 64Gb in mine. Also you can browse to it directly without rooting the tablet unlike with the S where there was a requirement to copy from External SD to internal or root the tablet which would then allow third party file managers like Ghost Commander to search the external SD and allow you to select files to open/play (in the case of movies)

I am very happy with this tablet. It is very fast...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] staynam:
Great. AOSP coming to XTZ.

Hi guys,

I ordered my XTZ on April 22nd, and yesterday I received the confirmation that it has been shipped and that it will (hopefully) arrive on the 21st.

Has any of you already got the SGP311/SGP312 model? Is the latest firmware the 10.1.C.0.353 one? I would like to know the magicnumber ("EXTRAVERSION" parameter in the Makefile) of the kerne, thanksl! :)

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

It happened with the Xperia Tablet S as well, seems that once they are at Sony European bit they must just ship out to customers direct at the same time as shipping to stores.

Not holding my breath for a delivery today, even though the DPD link says it will come today the tracking seems pretty glitchy at best, still claiming to be at the sortation facility down South. Will let you know.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
You could well be right - in future, always order online!

May go raid my local DPD distribution center to see if I can find an Xperia Tablet Z :highfive:

[Xperia Tablet Z General] UserX10:
That would be really awesome.

If you have any problems creating the FTF-File then just upload the two blob_fs files.

It has arrived!! First impressions...

1. This thing feels amazing. Nice rubberised back, really thin and sturdy in the hand, makes the XTS feel cheap

2. The screen - sharp, contrasty and lovely, a definite improvement over the XTS

3. Software feels smooth, snappy and lots of little GUI updates that I will need to play with.

But all in all...this feels like a whole different ball game to Sony tablets of the past...if anyone wants any questions answered let me know.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
Damn. Why am I so jealous should've suck with the online pre-order!

More info!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] skimpychimpy:
Always stick with the online pre-order!

The entire interface has had an overhaul, all got little aluminium style buttons on sliders, mimicking the power button, a nice touch. It is very responsive, had no lagging so far and been downloading a lot of apps and hasn't faltered.

Sounds is good from the speakers, goes pretty loud and is clear enough...as good as you will get from a tablet really.

Software wise, this is pretty different from JB found on the XTS, lots of little changes. One thing that is nice is that in the master App drawer you can choose how your Apps are sorted, Alphabetically, your own order, most used and recently installed. A little touch but handy! Also have a little tray that slides down when you are on the homescreens and you can call up all Widgets, Apps, Wallpapers and Themes and change them on the go, quickly navigating between homescreens to place the icons where you want them - speeds everything up!

Rear camera is also as good as you are going to need on a tablet and very responsive.

And just to reiterate...this thing is soo thin!!! Also very light!!

One other thing...the keyboard is also MUCH better, I had to use 3rd party keyboards on the XTS as the stock one was terrible - much improved!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
What's it like to hold in one hand?

The XTS had a metal back and was quite some weight in my left hand.

UI does look good - bigger version of my XT. Nice to keep some continuity between devices.

BIG EDIT - Just spoke to my local store, they received a batch of 14 in this morning - I can collect it today! Whooa!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] skimpychimpy:
