Xperia ZR LTE in Canada WORKED - Sony Xperia ZR

Hi everyone!
I followed the instructions from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287847) and flashed the C6506 baseband onto my C5503 and confirm that it works. I now have LTE (from Vancouver) and my provider is Fido.
Thought I should share this for those who cannot register onto LTE using C5503's baseband.
Cheers!

Basically, if a phone do not support LTE (C5502), will flashing baseband alone help?

Sorry I wish I could tell you but I've never tried. I did read in another post that you would still have a hardware issue so the short answer is no.

Have you upgraded to 4.4.2 and had success since?
I cannot find a baseband that works!!
I've tried like 5 recommended basebands; no success
Please advise! Thx

The 4.4.2 works and I used the ZL FTF 6506 Baseband per my original post link.
Have you also checked your access points?

First, please ask questions in the Q&A section....(I might make that my new signature)
download a ftf for your phone model and flash it. Just exclude everything except baseband

All thanks to toto221
Thanks to Pzyduck and toto221
would be interesting to know whether a non-japanese razr m could be flashed with this radio and work on japan's networks...
anyone able to try it out?
Flashed this xml to dev. edition VZ without problems.
Except fact that GSM not working with this radio even if "GSM/3G" option is set.
Unable to travel to Japan to test it, sorry.
iirc japan uses a comination of wcdma and tdma technologies for their networks, so not surprising that gsm doesn't work. thanks for trying though
Thanks !!!

Yep.
So far, no root method has been confirmed for the 902. We couldn't even get a guy with a dev edition rooted - I suspect their firmware is highly secured.

Xperia Z from Bell Canada (C6616)

Just picked up my Xperia Z from Bell - here's a little information on the device, as after searching for a while there doesn't seem to be much out there about this:
Model Number: C6616
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110041-32
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-g6df7905-02328-g70ed36a
Build: 10.1.1.A.1.319
Customization Version: 1275-6311_R2A
Also, rather unfortunately, the bootloader cannot be unlocked (according to the Service info > Configuration page).
Can you tell us if the screen is better? I saw some videos on the Bell website and it did look better. I was gonna go check out the Bell store today but didn't have time lol

I don't have a lot to go by in terms of better than other Xperia Z models, but compared to my SGS3 it looks much better and is actually visible in direct sunlight.

Not yet - this is the first Sony device I've owned (used to Samsung devices and the various Nexus'), so I'm a little gun-shy regarding flashing things meant for different models.
Tried rooting it today and, as expected, it failed.
Use DooMLorD to root, I think it should be fine.
Would you be able to backup your rom to FTF file?
Here is the instruction to make ftf file of your rom.

The update made the screen look a lot better but that was with 253 version already and 4.2.2 made it even somewhat better again and camera too.

Tried Doomlord's without luck, but I didn't use the new method to flash the other kernel (was fairly unsure if I would soft-brick it). I'll follow that guide and post the resulting file, though.

I flashed its baseband but it didn't work unfortunately.
This Rom only has band 4 LTE also even though Bell says it has AWS and 700.
It couldn't pick up t-mo LTE too.

For any other Bell users who are new to Xperia devices and unsure of flashing, I successfully flashed this 4.2.2 stock firmware using Flashtool (left FOTA, BASEBAND, and UNKNOWN unchecked). I had to add the Bell APN settings, but everything works!
Additionally, I rooted using this guide, but when I got to step 11, I reflashed the kernel from the first firmware image I linked instead.
So if I get this one, unlock it and flash standard firmware, can it be used with Rogers and its LTE?

Rogers and Bell both use the same LTE bands, so it should be good with the network unlock. Switching firmware is really only required for rooting/getting 4.2.2 at this time.

So bell's firmware is standard or it's a custom one with bell's apps per-intalled (aka you have to wait for them to release a new version 2-3 weeks after everyone else gets it)?
Bell's firmware has their apps, and is subject to their release schedule, but will work with other carriers - it's just the network lock that prevents you from using another carrier. However, if you're looking to root, or don't want the extra Bell branding in your face, switching firmware is a valid option.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of bell's branding tbh, because all my services are with rogers. But what is difference between 6606 and 6616, do you know by any chance? thx

Never used the 6606, or any of the other models. From the looks of things, though, it's a difference in basebands and supported frequencies.
laslow, I flashed baseband off the ftf file you posted, there is only band 4 LTE, not 700 (band 17) as stated on Bell website.

I'm not running it anymore so I can't verify, but that was the firmware bundle on the phone, fresh from the store.

Update to 4.4.2

Hi all,
I found that a lot of update for 4.4.2 is now available on Sammobile but I know that my country will never be listed in that list for any Samsung Mobile Model but I would like to know which one should I choose. My country is Mauritius.
My actual stock firmware since I bought the phone is:
Baseband Version: I9295XXUAMF7
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-957941
Build Number: JDQ39.I9295XXUAMF7
This is my stock firmware on 4.2.2 since I bought it.
Thanks in advance for any help

I don't think so i had the same suggestion in my mind ... Since I bought the phone from different country band use it in different country ... And flashed the kk update and nothing happened but my signal reception got better . I recommend a factory reset before flashing and all should be good .

Android 6.0 Galaxy S6 SM-G920T

hey!
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM.G920T on Best Buy a couple of months ago and i have it with an argentinian SIM.
i want to update the Software to 6.0 and i saw in Sammobile a 6.0 version. Here comes the problem, my firmare (G920TUEU3COK1) is from "cellular south" carrier and this version ( G920TUVU3EPD1) is from "USA/T-Mobile". I want to know if i install that firmware i can still use my argentinian sim? or i only can use the "cellular south" version?
My english is not perfect sorry
Thank you
Yes. Mine is from cellular south as well. You can flash it with t-mobile mm. and then flash this modem dropbox.com/s/fpkeyps54bzy2l6/modem.bin?dl=0 you should be able to use any carrier
here is the guide reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/4eazdg/nont_mobile_smg920t_need_some_insight/ follow this and you should be fine. good luck
