so in israel the distributor only sells 6902 devices due to no LTE networks here, many people bought thier Z1 not in israel and have the 6903 model, unfortunatly hebrew language is not an option for non rooted devices on stock roms which are not the specific israel variant.
so i was wondering if it's possible to create a patch for the baseband like i saw there is one for 6902 that enable you to flash 6903 roms on your device, but the other way around.
alternativly if i only flash the baseband from a 6903 rom and the rest from a 6902 will it work or just brick the device?

All custom ROM's support the C6903 by default unless specified otherwise. You shouldn't have a problem with installing custom ROM's on those C6903 devices.

Hello everyone, as I have been reading, I am going to flash a Stock 6603 on my 6606 so I can have LTE in the US. My question is, what 6603 Stock should I use? (Germany, DE, Netherlands etc). What are the differences for the Stock 6603?
Thanks

Nothing really. Maybe some apps u normally can uninstall but other then that there aren't difference. I have the China ftf and i only had one app on it i didn't had with a German rom. And this app was able to be uninstalled. There really non differences really.

So its been like 10 days since the rollout for the Xperia SP android 4.3 started and we on the C5306 variant haven't got the update, why is that?

I dont believe it is a good idea to post that question here on XDA due to the ammount of rumors and fake intel from many users.
I dont know actualy. C5306 is the one sold in the USA right? Perhaps the big operators like AT&T and Verizon have something to do with the update?

Yes, but I'm on an unlocked onee so any carrier-related-idiocy shouldn't affect the update on my end.
And yes I know where are you conning from I'm not asking a date, I just want to know why the update is taking so long to be pushed out.
Sent from my Xperia Sp C5306.
Ask Sony? There is a dedicated thread on the Talk.Sony website about the update...
the sad thing for us is that there isn't any c5306 firmware available
No c5303 update for UK unlocked either

Yes, that's right, but you can flash a CE firmware without any issue. We on the other hand don't even a have a single C5306 4.3 one.

Did the back up work? What did you excluded when you flashed it?

No, backup won't work when you change a version of Android (in this case, 4.1 --> 4.3). So look for a backup app on the Play Store. I flashed everything on the ROM, though, I lost all my data (including photos and videos) saved on the internal memory. I think you can prevent that by ticking off the "wipe data" option on Flashtool, I'm not sure.
Even LTE works.
C5306 US owner here. Unlocked (basically any SP owner in the US is unlocked because it is not used by any major carrier). Still no update, even though the Sony Mobile US site for the SP shows that a new firmware has been out since 2/12. To be honest, after hearing all the issues, I don't want to update it until there is another 4.3 firmware update to see if things are fixed. 4.1.2 is working fine for me anyways.
There's a Mexican user telcel branded that actually update to 4.3, I'm Mexican too and I know that the only variant sold by telcel is 5306, because support LTE.... Maybe I'm wrong, but I saw that user in the 'news about 4.3 and 4.4'
Mine is 02 because is unbranded xD...
Also, u can flash a tft, maybe if u flash a C5303 variant u can keep LTE....
Also, PCC backup works even if u change android version, model, etc.
it's possible to flash the latest firmware 14.4.A.0.108 on the model c6943(brazilian) even though it is only for the c6903 model? i think that the only differences between the brazilian model and the c6903 is the digital tv and the radio, the rest is the same, i guess

I think its not possible, i have a C6943 too and i really want to have 4.4.4
well, i'm not sure, cause when i started on my c6943 the first thing that i did to get root was a downgrade for the .534 firmware of the C6903 version, and everything goes ok, the only thing that changed was the model on "about android", the rest seems fine, the same as the C6943 version, but i don't know if gonna be the same on this new 4.4.4 firmware
i'm tired of the .757 bugs --, principally the microphone bug on whatsapp and the battery drain

Technically saying you can flash it. Sometimes you lose signal and wifi but you can get it back by flashing original C6943 modem.
But it's risky and I suggest you not to do that but just wait for the update.

Yes, you can. You'll lose the DTV ability (and FM radio), but that's the only difference. Apart from that, the two phones are identical. I've not done it with the 108 firmware, but there was no issue on previous builds.
for those have Xperia Z1 C6943,
i did the update using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/ftf-official-sony-firmware-14-4-0-108-t2800623
and this one for root and dualrecovery:

Hello from Australia, still on KitKat, the ISP's haven't even received Lollipop here and its not looking like we will get an update any time soon...
So i have been thinking about CM12.1.
From what it looks like, there are only nightlies available....
Is it worth getting on that?
Are they safe enough?
Are there any other methods of getting lollipop on my device as a daily driver?
How would i go about installing CM12.1 on the Xperia Z1?
Cheers,
Marcel
Why don't you flash an official lollipop firmware? (from another carrier or a generic one). CM12.1 still have some bugs...
Search in "General" or "Android development" for stock lollipop "ftf" or "pre-rooted firmware" it's easy and safe to install

wouldnt one from another carrier (have to be a different country as the only 2 in australia dont have anything) not work with networks here? i have read in lots of places all the builds that people offer for the Z1 have issues with network and the camera. would all features work??
Well, just check frequencies...
Here in Italy we can flash anything that is EURO-LTE... Just have a look for GLOBAL-LTE rom... I think it might actually work. If it doesn't, you aren't bricking nothing, just flash 4.4.4 ftf...
I also suggest you to use xperifirm to check and download the ftfs

Question is does Australia use LTE or 4G? Because I tried a LTE variant on my UK handset and it wouldn't work, I had to create my own pre-rooted rom to allow me to use 4G.
4G LTE is not the same thing? [emoji19]

From what i've heard yes but it'll change your model number from c6606 to c6603(or whatever the rom's model number is). It may(not always) impact the usage of 4g depending on what country you are in.
