Hello,
I would like to buy a Xperia Z with an unlockable bootloader and I currently have T-mobile as my provider.
Which version of the Xperia Z would be most compatible with T-mobile and have an unlockable bootloader (aside from the T-mobile version)?
Where would I buy such a phone?
Would I have to make any compromises (ie data/cell links)?
Thank you very much.

The C6602 would be the most compatible one. U won't get LTE on it official but it works on hspa + on att or t mobile with no limitations.

Is it still possible to use AWS LTE with root like with the Nexus 4?

There seems to be a way to flash an C6603 basebands what would enable lte for the C6602 n baseband 4. Because it actually does have lte but it is not official enabled. But u will find better info on that if u do a search on it. But it seems to be possible. Only on the C6602 not the C6603 because it has different lte basebands.

I researched hard before buying my 6606 and find it nit to work unfortunately,if u find a way let me know I'm still in my return period,lol but I've not really minded because I'm on the newest 4.2.2 firmware released yesterday,root,custom dual recovery,and solid lte,but that's my preference because I like stock roms better,the only thing I can't do is vanilla android or roms like Pac etc,but I understand it's nice to be able to unlock

Well u have a C6606 that one has lte already. Flashing the C6603 rom to an C6602 that will enable lte on the C6602. In your case C6606 already has lte.

Yeah on the C6602 u can enable lte option with flashing a C6603 rom. Basebands sadly can't the flashed to a different baseband. The C6602 has lte 4 and some others but never official lte like the Nexus 4. That has lte disabled but with some unofficial ways u can enable it. I am glad u understand. Trust me if I could I would flash lte baseband that will work in my C6603 for the USA. Sadly I can't.

I'm sorry it's early for me,so are you saying if I returned my 6606 And bought a unlocked 6602 from Sony that I could get hspa,and lte on t-mobile if so that's awesome,sorry for being so confused
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Well what lte band uses t mobile? The C6602 could get lte 4. Because it has lte build in but disabled. U need to flash a C6603 ftf to it to make lte option be available. It seems to work but the speed supposed to be not as fast as it should be. Kinda like on the Nexus 4 lte worked but wasn't as powerful or fast as it should have been.

Hi
Can I flash the stock ROM (FTF) for the C6602/C6603 on my T-Mo US version (C6606)?
I own a Xperia U (ST25a) and I could flash any stock rom intended for the ST25i as long as I avoided updating the baseband/radios, wonder if it is the same for the Z.
Any info, greatly appreciated

Your picture shows 6606 as the model, but you give a link to a 6602 firmware. How'd you manage that?
T-mobile Xperia Z
the firmware is indeed 6602 but hardware wise we are the same so it works fine. I edited the build.prop file so my device appears on softwares that i am a 6606 and not a 6602 (e.g. play store, xda app, etc.) also make sure when you flash the firmware that you "check" the box on the right that says "exclude" baseband so that you retain the T-Mobile radios (e.g. LTE, etc.)

So i've successfully flashed the 4.2.2 linked to in this thread, but I have no LTE either. I tried it with both basebands, and neither one gives me the option for LTE in the Mobile Network Settings menu. The first flash I did it while exluding baseband of the 6602, then I tested and reflashed with baseband of 6602, tested and went back and flashed just the baseband of the t-mo 6606. All three options provided the same result, no LTE options.

I went ahead and just installed the 4.2.2 from Spain, LTE works now. Had to locate the carrier and download all the data, but that was nice and simple. Everything seems to be working just fine now, except I have a permanent notification up top that says all steps completed. I'll figure that out and have it gone soon hopefully. Thanks for the help guys.

If you cross flash your phone (e.g. flashing C6603 firmware to a C6606 phone), it is no longer possible to update or restore your firmware through any of the official ways (Sony PC Companion / Sony Update Service / Sony Bridge for Mac / OTA), because your TAC (Type Approval Code = first 8 digits of IMEI) doesn't match anymore. C6603 TAC is 35576205 and C6606 TAC is 35676805.

What? U can flash ftf C6603 to a C6606 that is no problem. U need flashtool then u also can root it doomlord easy root and u can even install a dual recovery even with locked bootloader. U just can't flash some costum roms CM based ones with an looked bootloader. Other then that it really doesn't matter. Just make sure the rom says looked bootloader when flashing.

Yeah well yeah he shouldn't flash a C6602 rom because then he loses the option to select lte.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The first thing to say would have been that the bootloader on a C6606 cannot be unlocked anyway.
You should also have advised the OP to exclude the baseband during flashing of a C6603 ftf to a C6606 as flashing the baseband would apparently cause loss of LTE.
Edit : Apparently, it is safe to flash other basebands. Just going off what other people that actually have the phone were saying initially. I stand corrected on that one.
Or just link to one of the threads where this has already been discussed, like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372664 instead of going over the same ground again.

It will be months till tmobile gets it,they only released it a week or two ago, who knows they may skip it to 4.3 but there's no way if they were gonna update this fast they would have released with it,just flash it through the flashtool root not needed
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
I was hesitated about flashing and rooting my Z, but I just did everything and I am running 4.2.2 and rooted with my t-mobile Z. You can search hear to see how to flash and root.
Root is quite easy. Change some settings on your phone, plug, click and ready to be rooted. Flashing is bit more work to be done but they are also easy such as install drivers for your Z in flash mode (like DFU mode in iOS) to make Flash software to work.

I have the Tmobile 6606 and I tried flashing both German and French 422 updates and couldn't get lte to work no mater which way I flashed with or without baseband and the exact apn settings with lte preferred click. Just won't work for me.
Flashing stock firmwares on this phone is not much different than doing the same on Samsung and HTC phones. A few things to download and that's it. If you've ever used Odin with a Samsung phone before, it's a very simaler process.

First of all he said he tried it that way,second I have updated to the 423,then 244 and both times did full flashes with the baseband never excluded and it's been fine I have full lte with no problems you do not need the 6606 baseband for it to work,but again he said he tried both ways

That's strange. 6603 and 6602 don't have LTE_BC4 for at least t-mobile LTE. I haven't tried flashing their baseband, but 6506 baseband doesn't work for me.

You definitely still have t-mobile Z baseband.
Your stock baseband hasn't changed.
Here is my stock and 6506 baseband. I just flash baseband only.
With 6506 baseband, I don't get t-mobile LTE even though it has LTE_BC4

Yes.
Roam around Xperia Z Android Development and you'll find roms for your device.
The Xperia Z Android Original Development part of the forum is devoted mostly for custom roms beyond stock based. Meaning, you'll need an unlocked device to take advantage of that forum. T-Mobile devices are unlockable, so...
T-Mobile devices are bootloader un-unlockable.
The bootloader on the T-Mobile US Z (C6606) CANNOT be unlocked, so that is to say that it is NOT bootloader unlockable.

How did u unlock the boot loader? I heard this thing is near impossible to unlock c6606 I'm running 4.2.2 with working lte
...
They haven't unlocked the bootloader. I think several people here are writing 'unlockable' when they actually mean that it cannot be unlocked.
That is why I posted above to clarify the actual situation with the bootloader on the C6606.

It should work just fine. I've done this while on t-mobile, and wouldn't think at&t would be any different. You might have to get at&t apn for MMS to work or once flashed over or try downloading network info from within the settings.
Can u guide me to where I could flash the firmware. All the stuff I need for it. And then I'll flash every thing but the baseband right?

Check this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/xperia-z-t-mobile-rom-t2685138
Should have links for everything you need, and I've always flashed everything just as flashtool instructions say unless I was upgrading rooted roms.
Kk thx
