Not exactly sir: okay, so, looks like HSPA+ only (so far) for telus/bell, and it looks like Wind MIGHT work. FYI:

ZL C6506 Baseband supports the following MHZ for "4g": LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

it also supports HSDPA+ at 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

The Z 6603 radio is reported to do LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600.

The Xperia Z 6602 radio is reported to NOT support LTE.

Here's the thing, if the physical baseband radio DEVICE inside the BELL ZL (released on april 2nd 2013) is the SAME as the radio in the Z, it SHOULD do AWS and it SHOULD do LTE on Bell/Telus/Rogers - because this is essentially a driver.

Bell is 1700mhz Band 4 AWS/LTE, and 2100 Band 7 4g LTE. If you're on Bell and getting LTE on 1700mhz then the phone supports AWS. Can anyone verify? I Don't have bell.

Telus	is 1700mhz	BAND 4	for LTE currently, on AWS. They plan on owning a HUGE section of 700mhz for LTE, and so it will EVENTUALLY work, and what's funny is that rural people will get better service then people in the city on these phones (ehhehe)

Someone get me the Bell Sony Xperia ZL baseband and we should try it.

[Xperia Z General] Funk2641:
I live in the US and own a ZL and Z and use AT&T

This is whats is confusing me:

The baseband in the ZL supports LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100, which makes LTE available for US and Canada. At&t in the US uses 700 AND 1700/2100 (AWS) in some markets but mostly 700mhz.

Even if Bell/Telus use AWS, shouldn't this mod work in the US (with 700), since you're flashing the ZL driver onto the Z and the hardware radio is essentially the same? Because it doesn't, all I get is HSPA+ on the Z. LTE on the Z works just fine.

The only outlier is the 2600 band, but Bell and Telus don't use that, do they?

:confused:
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Flashing bands doesn't give the phone frequency bands. It's a hardware thing, flashing bands from 02 to 03 doesn't do much as 03 bands are fixed.

You may bring up how come 03 can enable lte by flashing c6506 bands. Well the answer is that 03 has those bands to begin with, it just grant access for it to connect to certain frequencies.

In conclusion, it's a hardware chip, flashing bands doesn't give the phone frequency bands.

Sooooo....i have a6603 with a lte enabled sim,enabled it in data/settings,but no lte plan,so dont have lte,

How is it possible that people with no lte plan are getting lte signal? Carrier messed up or a glitch on carrierside
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Im not so sure about LTE plans, I used to have a really really old data plan and i had to call up to fix some data issues when i got myself a LTE sim.

On top of that you need to be in a LTE area. You cant get LTE if your area doesnt support it and find out which bands it support. Mostly 2100 and 2600 though.
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
where was that in toronto? :D

Hotspot error

After flashing C6506 bandbase i got LTE working but it also broke the hotspot function on my phone.

I get a pop up error message that says "Tethering error" "Error occurred during tethering".

Has any one else has this happen as well?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
hmmmm same here. How could i have missed that, i guess its the downside to this not unless someone fixes it. Ill mention this in the instruction post, nice find :good:
[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
I know when I had my nexus 4 and enabled LTE it wouldn't tether unless I switched back to HSPA+. I added APNs and did everything else I could think of/read.

I finally downloaded an app called easy tether from the play store. I launched it and followed the instructions and was tethering with LTE in no time. Had to be wired to my laptop though.
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
I was tethering the other day with lte on.. I'll be testing in the next couple of hours and let you all know
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Yup WiFi tether works with LTE on.

I am on .253 stock Hong Kong rom upgraded from PC Companion and then flashed with .434's baseband from 6506. My portable wifi hotspot is still working. My office pc can be successfully connected to my phone and get connected to the internet.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
hmmm i guess its working for some and not others.

CM 10 works after flashing

.253 works after flashing

.434 some users reporting it doesnt work, needs confirmation.
[Xperia Z General] :
No luck

I flashed the radio in flashtool. No problems. Still unable to get LTE on my 6603.

Currently running latest PAC man rom and on the Virgin/Bell network.

Anyone in Ottawa on Bell/Virgin manage to get the LTE running? I've modified apns a bunch of times and still no luck.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
any updates on .434 because its not working for me either.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] EG8196:
Bell's 2600MHz only available in GTA.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Its up to those people who also flashed this to report back here, otherwise I don't have any other info.
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
I hope they do because i would really love for it to work. I heard there is a new update. I'm waiting for it but will updating cause any problems for me?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
.253? flashing this should still obtain LTE, but you will lose root(not unless you do all those ways mentioned in the other threads), and i cant guarantee you get wifi tethering to work as well (chances are higher than on .434). Its worth a try if you have time. Im just too lazy to update it to .253.
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
Oh. I was actually waiting for it to pop on pc companion. Never flashed before except the baseband for LTE. So if i update through pc companion then flash baseband to get LTE do i still lose root?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
I should've typed better, sorry for the confusion.

You will not lose root if you flash this. :)

.307 is available

Now that .307 is available. Looking thru another thread, looks like .307 has changed the baseband (number is different). I wonder anyone here in Canada updated to .307 and flashed the baseband and retain the LTE...any brave soul out there?
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
I have the same question. But i have been waiting on any update here in Canada and nothing. Its been more than a month. Is flashing my only option? Im tired of waiting TBH
[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
Hey, I just updated to .307 using Nut's Guide as I was rooted on .253. LTE didn't work with the baseband that came with the .307 update but I was easily able to flash the ZL baseband using flashtool and LTE still works! Keep in mind I live in North Vancouver where LTE can be spotty, which is why I have a weak signal. I'll test it out when I go to work this afternoon but I'm fairly confident it won't be any different than it was on .253.
[Xperia Z General] rcyh:
That's an excellent news! Thanks thegregulator. I have updated mine now. :)

Rogers

Vancouver

LTE: Yes

Wifi Tethering: Yes

Updated from PC Companion, stock Hong Kong Rom .253 -> .307, not rooted, then flashed baseband from .434 6506 ftf.

[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
Just for everyone's information: I unlocked my bootloader and flashed the new 4.2.2 leak. I don't know whether or not the zip file included a new baseband or not, but I retained LTE without having to reflash the 434 ZL baseband. What baseband number do you guys with LTE have?
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Nice !! I'm a on Pac Rom and will be testing the leak today and let you know

I figure it's pretty difficult to hard brick a phone so why the hell not.

4.2.2 is definitely smoother than 4.2.1 and I haven't noticed anything broken. There are a few animation glitches.

[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Yes and Mississauga area.

As for release of new device I don't know.. however boot loader will be locked. I had a zl from bell sold it and got the z because of locked bootloader which means no cm roms and Kernel flashing and etc
[Xperia Z General] Sheepe:
Oh I see. Though I thought the Z is missing a certain LTE band that Rogers uses....

Need a little help!

This might seem like a noob question but I have a few issues that I hope someone can help me with.

1. In order to flash 6506 on the 6603 xperia z (to get lte to work in Canada), I need root. However, I'm on .253. So, I need to flash back to .434 since there's no root method for .253 correct?

2. But before flashing anything, a TA backup is recommended which again requires root. Is it safe to flash a .434 over my .253 and is there any chance of losing my drm keys and bravia engine2 ?

3. Can I flash a .434 firmware (of the 6506) direct on my current .253 (6603)?

4. Side note: Since I'm having wifi drop problems I also need to do the temporary wifi fix (which yet again requires root)

could someone please point me to the right direction?

any help is greatly appreciated

So, I need to flash back to .434 since there's no root method for .253 correct? you are just flashing the "baseband" of the ftf file, not the entire thing. Please see the screen shots and read the procedures thoroughly. And this entire procedure does not require root, nor your current root will be affected.

2. But before flashing anything, a TA backup is recommended which again requires root. Is it safe to flash a .434 over my .253 and is there any chance of losing my drm keys and bravia engine2 ? you wont lose BE2 or your DRM keys cause this is just flashing FTF files. You only need to backup if you really want to back up. I care about my messages so i backed them up etc...

3. Can I flash a .434 firmware (of the 6506) direct on my current .253 (6603)? Yes it is possible and it works cause Ive tried it before without any issues. If you have time, try to flash 6506 (.xxx) base on your current 6603's firmware.

4. Side note: Since I'm having wifi drop problems I also need to do the temporary wifi fix (which yet again requires root) i odnt quite understand how does that relate to this.
[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
1) You don't need to be rooted to flash the Xperia ZL baseband. You can do it right from .253. If you do want to root, the easiest way is to downgrade to .434, root, and then follow one of the guides to install pre rooted .253 firmware.

2) You'll only lose Bravia Engine 2 and your DRM keys if you unlock your bootloader. Rooting and flashing firmwares using flashtool won't cause you to lose those two things.

3) I wouldn't recommend it.

4) Not sure as I didn't have that issue. I thought .253 fixed that?
[Xperia Z General] rcyh:
Another report...my C6603 just updated to stock Hong Kong ROM 4.2.2 with build number 10.3.A.0.423. Lost the LTE with this stock baseband.

The baseband number now is 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110049-34

Anyone knows that is it safe to flash the baseband with C6506 v4.1.2 ftf's baseband on a 4.2.2?

Also anyone knows how to take screenshot now on 4.2.2? Now holding down the power button only gets Power off and Airplane mode options...Take screenshot option is gone...

I'm UK unbranded and was also thinking the same thing(Whenever i receive the update that is). Waiting for a reply too.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
just did it on my c6603.

1)download any 4.2.2 c6603 ftf, flash the entire file and wipe everything

2)download [FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 4.2.2 - 10.3.A.0.423 - Generic US Firmware and flash the baseband only, same procedures as before.

3)set the correct apn settings

4)bam! LTE!
[Xperia Z General] rcyh:
LitoNi YOU ROCK!!!
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
and to my extent of knowledge... doing an OTA update will most likely overwrite your baseband also. Safest way is to do the procedures above. Doomlord already got the Root kit ready for 4.2.2 c6603. No point doing OTA. ;)
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
Thanks alot. Much appreciated.

Im UK unbranded tho so no idea when ill get it in the first place. Will probably flash when i get back from my trip.

You have to hold down volume down and the power button at the same time. It's so stupid.
[Xperia Z General] kiikooo:
I actually think its better since holding the power button made me miss lots of screenshots when i wanted to b fast taking them. Also some thinks like taking screenshots of say the notification bar is not possible since as soon as i hold the power it just goes away.
[Xperia Z General] Urbanos:
Confirmed! working :)

unbranded UK C6603 - flashed the Spain FTF for 4.2.2, rebooted, then set usb debugging again, flashed the ZL 4.2.2 baseband only - and then the doom guys root - super easy! super fast - everything seems to be golden :)

only thing i can't seem to get working is the dualshock 3 wirelessly

LTE confirmed as before, hamilton mountain, rogers wireless. 4.2.2 yippee.
[Xperia Z General] thegregulator:
It's better when your phone doesn't have the volume rocker and power button on the same side. It's awkward on the Z.
[Xperia Z General] Hk-en-:
Just a update to my last post.

I got tired of waiting for 4.2.2 Unbranded UK Firmware so i flashed C6603_10.3.A.0.423_R2B_Generic_HK.ftf.

Reflashed the bandbase from C6506_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded.ftf.

Now everything seems to be working good as well as the portable hotspot.

I think its the stock UK firmware that caused the hotspot to error, could be that the UK has some different standards regarding tethering.

My previous firmware was C6603_10.1.A.1.434_UK unbranded.ftf.

I very much want a nexus 10, but I am wondering how the performance compares to say tega 3 and 4? If I bought one will it be pretty much useless a year from now? I am especially worried because its only dual core. (and I have no idea how the graphic chip compares). Its already been out 6 months and while its still the current tablet, history shows after a year a tablet is pretty much obsolete.

Also is it responsive? I've looked up videos but is it better than a nexus 7 atleast? (currently I have a nexus 7 but want a bigger tablet).

From N7 to N10 you can feel the difference. (I use Gnex, N4, N7 & N10)

It is all depends on your usage pattern. For me, it is fast enough (browsing, reading, movies) others might not think the same.
