I tested it, and I'm afraid I can't give a complete yes/no answer.

HDMI to DVI works for my 1920x1080 monitor (which also has an HDMI port) with no problems, but it won't work for my 1280x1024 monitor. The latter just doesn't wake up, as if it isn't getting a signal.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Someone on freaktab reports that it works for HDMI-to-VGA at your resolution, although not fully sharp: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4856-MK808B-1366x768-monitor-1280x720-setting

I'm guessing it will only work if your TV can handle scaling or otherwise interpreting the 720p signal from the stick. There are also 480p kernels for some ROMs, and a native 1366x768 is probably possible in theory.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] pins2u:
Thank you for the update!

I also did my own study, and decided to get MK808 instead of MK808B because i) omegamoon has 720p DVI kernel for MK808. he hasn't been able to do the same for 808B and ii) 2dark4u is going to release a kernel that will support 1360 x 768 with DVI.

Here're the links to those kernels for anyone looking for more info.

I will post an update when my MK808 arrives.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Tonian1878:
i have the cs918 q7 (mk888 i think).

HDMI to DVI works on my box and my tv is 1366x768 and doesnt have HDMI.

well its plug into a HDMI 3 way splitter via HDMI but the Splitter is plugged into the TV via a HDMI to Dvi cable.

the screen size was a little out of sync with the actual tv screen size but can quickly fix that in the display settings.

obviously sound doesnt work through DVI but i just hooked up some speakers to the 3.5mm headphone socket

Just tried to flash the 6506 (xperia zl) baseband on my xperia z (6603) and i got the LTE connection. Here is the proof.

**Do it at your own risk.Please!!!!!!!!!!!, do not !!!!!!! flash anything!!!!!!!! except!!!!!! baseband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
can you answer the following:

which carrier? Rogers

how long you have LTE for?

can do you a speed test and upload a photo?

thank you
[Xperia Z General] athris:
Rogers in Toronto. IT is on lte for couple hours and here is the speed test

i downloaded the 434 C6506. just flash the baseband only and exclude anything else
[Xperia Z General] sipe1:
What do you think would this work on C6602? I would flash it but my operator does not have LTE signal in my area.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
thanks... did you wipe data, cache,applog ?
[Xperia Z General] athris:
i didn't wipe anything, but you can try to wipe cache. It should be working fine. i don't know about C6602, i don't have one on my hand.
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Going to test this. I wonder what happens if we change roms what about going to cm10. Will it still work?
[Xperia Z General] Montague:
does flashing only baseband also lose the new system changes from .253?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
I am on 434, not sure is athris on 253 or 434.

Cause ZL's ftf is 434. But its only the baseband, I dont think it matters that much.

Make a backup, and flash it?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Did you check that everything still working,like Bluetooth,nfc....
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
yup, just tested with the Xperia NFC tags and the Sony Mini Speaker. It is a go :good:
[Xperia Z General] gunblazer:
This is completely awesome! Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention OP.
[Xperia Z General] athris:
i am on 434 too. But i think it doesn't really matter
[Xperia Z General] JPWOA:
Cannot work because C6602 is a HSPA+ device only!
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
When fcc opened it up, it has the same chip as c6603. Only way to find out is someone to test it.
[Xperia Z General] athris:
ya, you won't know until you try it, that how we figure the LTE
[Xperia Z General] 100363086:
I am currently trying to flash on my c6603 but the process is currently flashing data for 30mins now, is something wrong going on? i am a bit worried.

4G or LTE

I have flashed unbranded NL 4.22 then ZL 4.22. baseband only. LTE seems to be working perfect. However noticed "4G" displayed at the top of my phone instead of "LTE" wondering if anyone else is the same When running on 4.1.2, "LTE" displayed

I'm on Fido and in downtown Toronto. Speedtest reveals 41mb down and 21mb up
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Ok so I was on 4.1.2 rooted and locked BL. I updated to 4.2.2 via the thread which included a rooted ftf + XZDual Recovery. I then flashed the appropriate C6505 .434 baseband only, input the proper APN settings (they were already there from before) and I still can't get LTE.

I am in Winnipeg with FIDO, 6GB data plan and an LTE sim card. Can someone confirm at all from my screenshot that the baseband is the correct one after flashing?

Thanks

PS - my BL doesn't have to be unlocked does it?
[Xperia Z General] pkw168:
Baseband looks ok, did you select "LTE" prefered under Network Mode? by default it's set to "WCDMA(Preferred)/GSM" mine was anyways...
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Ya it's on LTE/WCDMA..... etc. I've been to a few different locations in the city so far and no changes. I was so excited for this to work.
[Xperia Z General] pkw168:
It's probably your location..... I'm in Edmonton Alberta, and only my work area has LTE, the rest of the city is very bad for it still.... :(
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Ok good to know. I know LTE is fairly new in Winnipeg so I'll keep checking as I get around the city. Fido site shows LTE coverage all over the city though.
[Xperia Z General] pkw168:
if you dig back up in the earlier pages of this post where ppl discuss the actual bands used, the 6603's radio is limited in terms of compatible bands to the Canadian Fido/Rogers network it is more difficult to get good or even signal at all.. their coverage page is only applicable to phones they carry (which has all the required bands to get good LTE signal).. hope this clears things up a bit more :o
[Xperia Z General] rcyh:
Try to get "[FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 4.2.2 - 10.3.A.0.423 - Generic US Firmware" and flash the baseband only. Look at the discussion at #173 of this thread for the download link. Courtesy of LitoNi. I tried that and it works. I am from Vancouver tho.
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Bells getting the XZ exclusive, stay away from it.

Bootloader will be locked
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Isn't that the same one from the link in post #9 (the nice post with the laid out instructions)? I think it is and that's the one I initially tried.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Give this a go:

Do a full repair/ wipe/ with a factory reset.

Flash the baseband

Then root and install recovery.

If it doesn't work try another ftf 4.2 file for Z not ZL. Or go the other way around.
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
I'm using stock. 434 4.2.2 rom, rooted with the ZXDual recovery.

You think doing those steps would yield a different result than the way I did it? Honestly the 4.2.2 w/root+dual recovery update went so smooth and everything was retained I'm hesitant to start from scratch. Will titanium backup restore everything properly? The backup was taken on 4.1

Thanks for the help
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Yes because I have everything you mentioned installed on my phone and my LTE has been working flawlessly including root and dual recovery.

If LTE worked for you before there shouldn't be any problems at all.
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Well I didn't do anything yet except travel to Toronto and LTE is working here! First time experiencing it and it's awesome!

So I'm inclined to think it has something to do with the service in Winnipeg. Not familiar with what radio bands they may be using vs Toronto.

Headed to Edmonton tonight and will test there but not sure if LTE in Edmonton extends that far out to their airport.

Anyone?
[Xperia Z General] nnhoang:
Toronto's LTE bands worked for a bit on stock 4.1.2 and 4.2.2...but VERY unreliable. It was hard to grab that LTE signal, but when I did it would stay for 10-15 minutes... then drop out completely. Too annoying so I just used HSPA+.... until now.

Did the instructions to flash parts of c6605 stuff onto my c6603 Xperia Z and LTE works! Tested it at home (Outside LTE worked, but inside I couldn't get signal). Went downtown today and was on LTE the whole time!

Speedtest app got me 45.04Mbps down and 22.48Mbps up with 47ms ping. AWESOME!

Oddly enough, flashing the c6605 parts also took out the lag I had with 4.2.2 completely. I had the HK version of the 4.2.2 update on my unlocked international UK version Xperia Z and it lagged.... quite badly compared with 4.1.2. Was ready to try and flash the UK version when I had time, but came accross this thread which saved me a crapton of time!!!
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
So I can confirm since flashing the ZL baseband I get LTE in both Toronto and Edmonton out at the airport. Never got either before flashing.

Attached is Toronto airport.

Now if I can somehow figure out why Winnipeg won't work. I do know that LTE is fairly new there.

[Xperia Z General] crookx:
Having the same problem with my sister's c6603 no mafter what I couldn't get lte to work. I'm also from winnipeg
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
What provider?
[Xperia Z General] Montague:
I don't know if it just happens to me, but I think ever since I flashed the baseband for LTE I feel like the phone consumes more battery at standby. The battery drops from 100% fully charged to 96~97% overnight (8 hours), Does that also happen to all yours? I remember my phone used to only dropped 1-2% overnight before I flashed the 6605 baseband.

I always have stamina mode on, I tired switching it off but it does not help, and of course I do not turn on the LTE when I don't need it at night.
[Xperia Z General] crookx:
tryed it on rogers and telus still no lte... my razr hd has lte so it must be the xperia z.. I wonder why its not working in winnipeg
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
Ya it's still baffling me too. I've been to both Toronto and Edmonton on several occasions since my first post. The LTE in both is pretty solid. Stays connected and gets me great speeds.

Before this thread came out about flashing the baseband I was considering selling my C6603 and buying the version Bell Canada is now selling (I'm assuming it's the C6606 version) so I could get LTE.

But now that I flashed the baseband with the info from this thread and found I could get LTE in various cities, I was thinking there is no real reason to buy the C6606 now unless someone can figure out why our LTE won't work in Winnipeg and can confirm that the C6606 will work in Winnipeg.

For reference I'm with FIDO
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
for most of you,

-if C6603 LTE works after flashing the baseband,

-if modding matters to you

-if flashing and LTE doesnt work, and LTE doesnt matter to you that much

stay with C6603.

------------------------------

-if LTE matters that much to you and it still doesnt work after flashing the basebands

-if you dont care about moddding

go with Bell(CA) or the Tmobile (USA) one depending where you are.

Currently there are problems with the customization mods for the north american version of the Z. Theres technically no love for them since its being launched so late in the year. Everyone else has C6603/02
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Really the only downside to owning a 6606 is locked bootloader I run 6603 software,mods and stock roms and still get lte,just can't flash non stock based roms
[Xperia Z General] BumRush:
With the release of the C6606, is there anything that can be taken from it and applied to the C6603 to get LTE everywhere across Canada?
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
The band that 6606 uses is lte band 4,1700 mhz which is useless to anyone but us t-mobile I believe besides it's hardware so u have it or not, I don't think it will help but hey maybe,hopefully I'm wrong
[Xperia Z General] Mr. Droid:
Anyone try the baseband from bell ?

I'm currently with bell and the C6603
[Xperia Z General] nnhoang:
Not sure about baseband from Bell, but I have the I UK unbranded model and just updated to 10.3.1.A.0.244 since the update warning was annoying. LTE didn't work anymore since it wiped the previous baseband I flashed. Didn't bother trying to find a .244 version of the 6606 and flashed the .423 version I had (baseband only) and it worked. Got LTE working again!
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
or you could just flash C6506 FW244 baseband it it works.
[Xperia Z General] nnhoang:
Why would I do that when the .423 baseband works?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
why not keep it at the same fw to avoid any bugs?
[Xperia Z General] ngvuanh:
Flashing C6506 LTE baseband doesn't work for me.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
youre C6606, why would u even need a C6506's baseband? go flash yourself a C6606 baseband.
[Xperia Z General] ngvuanh:
6606 t-mo or 6616 bell only has LTE band 4. I already tried 6616 bell baseband and my Z doesn't pick up LTE.

I am on at&t, so I need band 17 to make it works. That's the reason why I flashed 6506 baseband, but it's still not picking up LTE.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
this has been explained many times...

flashing base bands doesnt give you the bands... which ever phone you bought is what it comes with. Flashing basebands only gives the phone access to the specific files it needed to activate those bands that it came with.

its a hardware thing, you cant just flash and get which ever band you want.
[Xperia Z General] ngvuanh:
conflict to

How about people with 6602 (without LTE) can pickup LTE in some places by flashing other ROM?

The only one thing I don't know yet is whether all Z have the same hardware and baseband is locked by providers or not?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
there are no reports that 6602 flashed any of these basebands have gotten LTE to work.

different models of Xperia Z have different frequencies.

GSM arena provides a list for 6602 and 6603. As you can see 6603 supports LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600. But for some reason it doesnt connect to Roger's LTE towers which supports most of those bands such as 2100 and 2600.

Therefore, we flashed the 6506 baseband and it worked. I dont know how to explain it properly. 6603 originally (hardware) supports the above stated bands, flashing the 6506 didnt give 6603 models basebands of 6506, it just somehow fixed the issues with connecting to roger's LTE towers of 2100 and 2600. 2100 and 2600 are both ALREADY BUILT IN inside 6603. Its a chip, you cant just replace it.

Im from canada and im pretty familiar with the stuff here, but not the states, i dont follow the towers and carriers stuff. If i were you i would take it back to the shop and exchange for another phone or refund, if youre planning to get it to work on AT&T. I think there were a few people who asked if Tmobile's Xperia Z will work on AT&T, i dont know the outcome of it but you can try searching it up in the Xperia Z general section.

[Xperia Z General] lhun:
Hi there. I posted a thread that is very related to this.

The baseband: 9x15a-acefwmazq-30110068-44 (6506 tmobile latest) WILL allow you to get LTE on Rogers, Fido and Bell only on the c6603.

LTE in Canada is largely AWS. Flashing this baseband enables the proper subchannels for 2600 (additional data band) LTE for data only (not LTE voice enhancement). Unfortunately, even though the 6506 is AWS capable, this baseband doesn't allow the c6603 to do AWS from what I've discovered. Telus has LTE on UMTS 4 9 or 10 (not sure which) only and the same goes for Wind. The actual c6602, 6606, 6616 will all get LTE on all carriers, however. Flashing the 6606 baseband only causes a lockup once you get to the desktop.

It also seems that flashtool doesn't recognize the 6616 FTF file at all. I wanted to try the Bell baseband on my 6603 but the last one I tried didn't appear in the firmware list. If the hardware cellular radio is in fact, physically the same, flashing a custom kernel with the drivers from all the versions of the phone might allow all basebands to work on all phones, making it completely generic. The Z1 went that route in the boxed version from the Sony store, and from what I hear it's just a kernelmode driver lock in the carrier versions. I'm not sure though.

Any thoughts?

PS: OR, the overlay APK blocks the bands from working? If that's the case it might be possible!
[Xperia Z General] RHBH:
Hello all!

I saw that Xperia Z owners got LTE working when they flashed Xperia ZL baseband on their devices... So I was thinking about do something similar with my Xperia Z1:

LTE Bands for C6903 & C6943: 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

LTE Bands for C6906: 700 / 850 / 900/ 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

My country (Brazil) have LTE working at 2600MHz on great cities, but roads and small cities will get 700MHz LTE (less expensive... bigger distance between cell sites and all that technical stuff).

I own a C6943, if I flash the baseband of C6906 on my Xperia Z1 will LTE works on both 700MHz and 2600MHz?
[Xperia Z General] lhun:
Only if the physical hardware radio device is the same in both handsets. You would want to flash a baseband ONLY from the country you're in from the SAME MODEL phone (z1) and it SHOULD, theoretically work just fine, as long as you can guarantee the radio hardware is the same. It DID cause a lockup in the OS for me to flash the baseband from the 6606 on my 6603, but it didn't brick the phone or anything.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Hey, so I just tried the 6616 baseband on my 6603. While the phone didn't lock up as bad as it did with the 6606, it does the same thing with locking up process when it's trying to initialize the radio. I'm screwing with it now, gonna try airplane mode and see if I can get it responsive.

This does seem to indicate that the radio hardware is close enough that it might be possible to write a custom baseband that will allow all carriers on the 6603
[Xperia Z General] airbus318:
So just to confirm, you updated your phone to 10.3.1.A.2.67 and then flashed the C6506 baseband for 4.2.2 included in this thread and it all works as before?

[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
Guys please read and follow the instructions on post 9 in the thread if I remember correctly. I'm out on my phone can't link... I think I've made it very clear on what you need to do...

Make sure you are using a LTE sim card, if you're using the old sim cards they might not support it. You can tell by looking at it, it is stated on the sim card itself.

Second make sure you set the correct apn settings. Every carrier has different apn settings and different lte settings.

Third make sure you are in the LTE coverage area, not every single place in Canada has lte yet. Go search it up.

Fourth, not sure does this even matter but might be better to double check, if you have a older data plan you might not have the "lte plan" again this depends on the carrier but to my extent of knowledge, older data plans also supports lte.

Best of luck.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Just download the full ftf and Flash the baseband only. Instructions on post 9 of this thread
[Xperia Z General] raylui:
As a responsible reader, I have already checked everything. 1. LTE sim card, 2. Correct APN for Rogers, 3. LTE Coverage, 4. LTE plan. I especially checked 1,2,4 cause I asked my friend to lend his phone to me and got LTE signal.

For further info, after the latest update, I can actually find LTE signal in mobile network option but could not register to it, same when I tried to flash my baseband. I have attached a photo for ref.
