[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarktwilite:
hello,

First of all I want to mention I am throughly confused because there are tons of threads out here.

I have a H3G Uk DHD and unlocked the boot loader.

I have been trying to follow this gude in vain.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

I am stuck at step 7 where it says Go to recovery advanced options and reboot recovery... I cant understand what it means.

So i figured it was to do something with htc fast boot. got the fast boot files and try to do a fastbook flash boot boot.img

But it just sits there saying waiting for device though it is connected.

I even tried putting pd98img.zip in the memory card and rebooting in recovery but it says cant find or wrong image.

Can someone please help? i am so tired of this
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vega Bullet:
What do you mean step 7?

This one? "Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC."

If so, try universal adb driver if you are in fastboot mode and your phone isn't recognized.

How to get into the fastboot menu is not your problem right? If it is, then switch off the phone,

hold vol down and press and hold power, release power and you should see the bootloader in hboot, where you can choose the fastboot mode.

Hope it helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarktwilite:
Thanks for the reply. There is a pdf guide in that thread.

When I reboot, all I see is HBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET AND SIMLOCK I think. If

I cant seem to find fastboot mode.

Are there other ways to install pd98img? Whats this gold card thing? I created a gold card and placed pd98img.zip in the root of the card. It still wont install. Any pointers?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vega Bullet:
Which HBOOT version? You can find that in bootloader. Here I have 2.00.0029 with entries

fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, image crc.

Hi,

I'm in need of updating my HBOOT version from 2.00.0027 to 2.00.0029 in order to unlock my bootloader. Could you please refer me to the download link to get the respective file?

Its either u can or cannot unlock BL.. U only downgrade when u want s off
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim.sidz:
Haha! I actually did some research for a week and officially found the word from developers that 0027 has a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. One has to upgrade it to 0029.i exactly did that and it worked! I'm on CM11 now.

I just thought that maybe you know some other alternative solution that i might not be aware of at the moment. :D

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kanes_Inferno:
Just curious if buying it unlocked and using it on T-Mobile would be an option? Wanting to know if it'll work with the proper bands here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmalayalee:
Xperia Z3 (D6616) is supposedly headed to T-Mobile US as per reports. Not sure of Z3C though. I'm almost certain that you will be able to use its 2G if you bought it unlocked. It is better to check with T-mobile what 3G bands they use and then you can look up the spec sheet of Z3C to see if that band is supported.

I had once bought the Samsung Wave unlocked from abroad and used with T-mobile. Only 2G worked flawlessly. 3G was not supported.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AK4TAY7BEN:
Z3C is shown as coming soon on their US website. I believe all T-Mobile bands are supported except for band 12 which is only on D6616.

You're right. But the answer is YES! It will work, they have the same hardware minus the bezel, screen and battery. same innards
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
That's not true, the D6616 which is the T-Mobile version of the Z3 was customized for T-Mobile and has additional memory. It also supports different LTE bands than the other Z3 models.

The international Z3 Compact should work with T-Mobile but it will not have Band 12 LTE, and probably not work with WiFi calling or VoLTE.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drago10029:
Well, if you have a better answer than by all means you can answer his question. I was just taking a stab at it based off of good assumptions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
I don't believe T-Mobile is getting the compact version, check this http://developer.sonymobile.com/tag/d5833/ and notice the tags at the bottom, no mention of a D5816 which should be the model of the compact TMO version, if there was one, based on D6616 being the standard size version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuckin:
It looks like this phone will be compatible up to HSPA 21Mbit, GSM and Edge on T-Mobile. It seems to be missing the 1700/2100 AWS required for T-Mobile's 42Mbit "4G"

From T-Mobile: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6991

See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart

From Sony: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z3_Compact_D5803_D5833_WP_1.pdf

So you'd end up with EDGE, GSM, and HSPA 21Mbit. Wikipedia does list Band 2 LTE on 1900MHz and the D5803 variant does support Band 2 LTE but I'm not sure if that make it compatible
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firov:
I think you may be mistaken. It supports the T-Mobile AWS bands, which are 1700/2100, at least on the D5803 model, which is what the UK retailers are supposedly selling. It shouldn't have a problem getting full 42mbps HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network.

Additionally, LTE Band 4 is the T-Mobile AWS LTE, so it supports that as well.

The only T-Moble frequency it doesn't support is the new 700Mhz stuff they bought from ATT (LTE Band 12), but they haven't done anything with that frequency, and likely won't for another year or so.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuckin:
Yea I completely glossed over LTE Band 4, whoops. I thought to support 1700/2100 AWS UMTS the phone would have to support both 1700 Band 4 and 2100 Band 4 (which it only supports band 1 at this frequency), but I may be mistaken. And I appreciate you setting the record straight if I'm mistaken in that regard. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firov:
I can understand the confusion.

Sony, and possibly other phone manufacturers, don't generally seem to list 2100MHz(IV) seperately, likely since it's "bundled" with 1700MHz(IV) for the purposes of the AWS compatibility. One without the other is largely pointless (I believe).

So by listing 1700MHz (IV), they're indicating that it also supports 2100MHz(IV). As an example of what I mean, look at the official frequency listing for the Xperia Z2, which is my current phone.

D6503

UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz

GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20)

Notice how it also omits 2100MHz(IV) frequency, but it definitely supports T-Mobile AWS.

Anyway, The Z3 Compact is absolutely going to support AWS.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoovy:
Thank you all for this info. Guys. I am really tempted to purchase the z3t over the z3 but I was really worried about using LTE connectivity. I have never owned a sony phone, just my galaxy s3 so this is definitely something new for me and I am ready to try something new. I was tempted to purchase from handtech but I think I will wait a week or 2 to make sure. It is said to be available in 2 days. I want LTE, this would be my first LTE experience.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firov:
No need to be concerned.

The Z3C definitely supports T-Mobile's LTE bands, except for the newly purchased 700Mhz stuff from ATT (LTE Band 12), but I wouldn't expect to see that rolled out anywhere sooner than 8 months to a year, and then it's probably going to be present only in very few areas.

Honestly, I don't think Band 12 will be a concern for another couple of years, based on the speed at which T-Mobile initially rolled out LTE.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuiheart:
I have a Z3C coming for use on T-Mo in the states (going from GS3 as well). I almost didn't get it because of the lack of compatibility with LTE Band 12, but then I saw where the Band 12 coverage will actually be. Frankly, it doesn't cover my area, so I decided since it is compatible with all the other LTE Bands to go for it.

There is a great map at TMoNews that shows you just where the Band 12 coverage will be, but I can't post links yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoovy:
I cant wait. My z3c will be here tomorrow... thanks for all the info.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastQuark:
T-Mobile here as well. I have the Xperia TL for AT&T which I reprogrammed to T-Mobile. The bands on the Z3C are the same as the Xperia TL so there is nothing to worry about if you plan to use it with T-Mobile. It will work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marumari:
For what it's worth, I just did a speedtest on over 4G/LTE on my Z3C on T-Mobile US, and had 41ms ping, 31.08Mbps down, and 18.59Mbps up. That was with 3/4 bars active, or -85 dBm.

I'm seeing a lot of comments online that the Z3C available on SONY USA will not support band 12 for T-Mobile. Can someone confirm this? I'm thinking about moving to T-Mobile and I'd like to use the Z3C for as long as I can (3 years?). Even if band 12 isn't used now or much at all I don't want gimped coverage moving forward.

Also Sony has a page where you can sign up for an edu discount without an edu email address. However you must provide your school information. Do they double check this? 10% off if you use this discount.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
band 12 isn't going to be available for awhile. at least a year. and the coverage that you get will be whatever it is now. band 12 is the additional spectrum that they bought that they are starting to roll out. so if you have good signal where you are at, then most likely you won't feel a difference.

not sure if they check. it doesn't even specify whether you need an edu email account or not.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sihle:
Something to keep in mind, T-mobile is rolling out lte band 12 now and will likely have their POPs covered within a year if past performance is any indication. This may or may not be a big issue for you if you're currently getting good coverage as has been mentioned but coverage is basically the only criticism of T-Mobile which is why they're pushing real hard to roll it out.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
no we don't have that band. sony already stated the specs for our phones. we already knew the tmobile version had band 12 in the first place (it only has 3 lte bands that all support tmo vs. the normal one that has like 10 bands), it just wasn't activated because they didn't rollout the spectrum yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VRFour:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndQuocDrew:
Hey guys so earlier this year I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. I ordered an lcd + digitizer from ebay and installed it myself. Everything had been working fine for a couple weeks but then randomly one day I woke up and the bottom 1/4th of the screen didnt work. Also, my screen is not very secure onto the device. I can peel off the lcd if I desired. I put double sided tape on all the places that a guide showed me but the screen just doesn't seem to stay in which causes dust and other particles to get in between my screen. Could this be the problem?

Some things i forgot

This started off with only a small portion of the bottom part of my screen to stop working. But then it turned into my whole bottom 1/4th of the screen not working. However, the first time this happened, I fiddle with the screen since it comes off and just moved it around and the bottom 1/4th worked again. However the problem reoccurred and I can't seem to fix it this time.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried to open the phone again and press down on the digitizer pins to make sure they were secure. Still didnt work

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promo87:
Well, yes you can put your touchwiz.apk to other OS, what its going to do is its going to make you device look like samsung device. These are the launchers used to customize the look of the whole ecosystem and that's is the major reason why people drives away from iOS to the Android ecosystem try using the touchwiz launcher and see your device transform onto samsung.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:

No it will not work as they need the base touchwiz framework to work properly which stock google doesn't have.
