We on the C5306 variant.

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.

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.

Just flash a C5303 ROM, I have a C5306 with the C5303 UK ROM for a week now without any problems.

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.

[HELP] Xperia Z T-Mobile to KitKat

Hi, I have a xperia z T-Moble (c6606) , but i´m living in mexico, its sim unlocked, and i want to upgrade it to 4.4 kitkat, i have tried to upgrade it via OTA and PC Companion, but the upgrade dont appear, i thought upgrading via flashtool but, i dont know what rom can i use, could someone give me a hand with it? thank you
i have found this one, but i dont know if it works for my device and my location

Ask in the thread, or in Q&A, don't clog up the general with these simple question threads. But yes, follow the tutorials (Pro-tip: Use the search function! It's super useful!) for flashtool and flash any ftf from any region, some have different apps pre-installed etc. you can use them from any region. I bought a UK sim-free Xperia Z and I've flashed Taiwanese, German and Belgian ftf's.

No harm in trying, just make backup before. I'm on c6606 but in US and have always flashed UK or EU branded and they worked fine I just had to input my APNs for cell coverage.

Pm me so i can tell you what to do in spanish

I called t mobile US today. They have me the run around of we are testing it. Then the lay just stopped talking after I said most other TMo around the world have released it as had the generic US. The lay wouldn't give me an ETA. Then she didn't want to talk to me when I mentioned they missed several 4.3 versions.
All in all, I wouldn't wait on them. Wait for a pre rooted on here and go for it.

C6006 user here. From experience, there's not much difference between C6606 and C6603 firmware beside the band and customization.
Download the lastest FTF, make sure its for C6603, and flash.
As a precaution, tick "Baseband" when flashing.

I think you should try Canadian Bell?

[Q] LTE Service on Xperia SP C5302

Hello All
I am a noob and I have a Xperia™ SP (C5302). I recently rooted my device running firmware 12.1.A.1.205, install CWM Recovery and Unlocked it's bootloader. I ported various roms and enjoyed them all .
Came back to stock rom though because none beats the original
Anyways, I found that it had option for LTE (4G) (Custom Roms). I switched to LTE mode and to my surprise I was receiving signal on that mode too.
I know that hardware of C5302 doesn't support LTE. If this is not possible then how my phone was getting signal and I surfed Internet too!.
Calls were also possible. I live in India and only Airtel here provides LTE Service and I posses a Airtel sim.
So just curious that is it possible to run LTE on my C5302..?
If you guys want any screenshot then please do tell me because I don't know where to start with
Please kill my curiosity
And please also suggest me good boot animations for the device.
Other Newbies, if anyone wants then I can tell how to root your Xperia SP (C5302/C5303/C5306) in just 5 minutes with CWM Recovery Installation and unlocking bootloader. Everything in just 5 minutes
I have a video made step by step guide O
Also rooting of MTK Devices and Allwinner devices and their ROM's with CWM Recovery
My Device
Xperia SP C5302
Stock Rom 4.3 JB
Firmware 12.1.A.205

It doesn't work
Even if it shows you that it works, It doesn't work properly

where do u live and how it is possible
can u help me to get 4g on my xperia sp C5302

It was probably working on 3G, switching to a Custom ROM won't make a phone magically grow an LTE antenna lol
As for bootanimations, I'm currently using this one (white) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657843

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check if that LTE is supported by your C5302. C5302 board also comes in various band frequencies. My shows I can run 4g ad heck yes I did use 4G

C5302 lacks the support of the LTE frequencies.. It is just impossible for you to have 4G on your C5302 and no matter what it wont work..

You might think it works, but I'm 100% sure it doesn't!

If it did work, why call it a C5302 instead of C5303? Maybe one of those lucky cases?

HI ,
I did what u asked to do.-->> Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
--->> Went to ServiceTests --->> and checked Radio Anteena --->> it had three option , WCDMA,CDMA -HR and "LTE"
Does that mean that my xperia will also support 4G? Currently i do not have a 4G sim inserted yet.
Note : Am still on the factory 4.1 version and have not updated yet

xperia Z C6606 flashed but no LTE

Hi, recently i flashed my C6606 with a C6603 rom. Based on my research, if I flash my C6606 with C6603 firmware, it should change band support too. My country supports LTE band 3 and band 7 but it seems that my xperia Z only supports LTE band 4. Im using firmware C6603 Customized MY now. Is there any problem with my flashing?

Hi, i have almost the same problem as you. I have C6603, but service menu shows me only LTE band 4. So i tried re-flash baseband only. Now service menu shows all standard basebands, BUT i still can´t connect to LTE network (Europe T-Mobile).
Are you tried anything else?

Need assistance with the Sony Xperia Z C6603/C6606 GPS dont work after Lolipop 5.1.1

Hi , ok ill get right down to it. I got an Xperia Z not really sure if its a C6603 or a C6606, but according to the IMEI and an internet search it says it the C6606 model. Which is quite strange as I had bought it new online and the seller was advertising it as the C6603 model , it actually had the android 4.3 preinstalled when I got it, in the phone specs it did say C6603 but that didnt match what the IMEI was indicating . Now the issue im having is I wanted to upgrade to the lolipop 5.1.1 , so i tried the sony companion software but it said i already had the newest software which is not true as the newest software is 5.1.1 and im running 4.3. So next i downloaded the 5.1.1 through the flashtool for the C6603 model , the central European version and it works great but just one issue is im not getting any GPS fix nothing , it did work with the older android version , any suggestions ? by the way im still not sure if its a C6606 or a C6603 , IMEI states its a C6606 , but i cannot locate any lolipop 5.1.1 android firmware for it so up till now i tried the C6603 lolipop and get no GPS fix , any help kindly appreciated iv spent 2 days on this dont know what to do .

So just to recap theres 2 issues here :
1) GPS isnt able to get a FIX after the lolipop 5.1.1 update for C6603 wheras it did work on the older 4.3 android.
2) According to the IMEI it says my phone is a C6606 but I havent seen any android lolipop 5.1.1 firmwares for that model.

Alright finally I was able to get it to work. Turns out the metal aluminum bumper case I was using was interfering with the GPS , after taking off the bumper case the GPS runs.
However on thing I still cant get to work correctly is my LTE or 4G , i got a new SIM and it still dont work any suggestions ? I mean the LTE also didnt work with the older android version I ran before. Any ideas ?

You can find the model number at the bottom of the phone, it says made in China C660X and then the IMEI and the production date. If it's a C6606 it only supports LTE Bands 700, 850, 1700 and 2100. I guess your carrier uses a different one. In your case I would return it, as you bought a C6603 and got a C6606

Thanks for the reply , returning it isnt possible. On the back it says C6603 but when I input the IMEI online it says its actually a C6606 which is intended for the US market and im in Central Europe. Could this be affecting my ability to get LTE ? So far iv managed only to get H+ , my carrier told me that im in range of the LTE , LTE is enabled on my account and my SIM is also compatible. So I guess then how can I enter the settings or is there an app which will help me modify the LTE band to suit the one in Europe ?
