Hello Friends!!
I have a big problem with my device.
It's a Sony Xperia T( LT30p). The problem is that it does not have support for the band 900 UMTS. And I have problems of coverage in many zones where this band is for that my operator operates in H+.
My device works on GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS_BC1, UMTS_BC2, UMTS_BC4, UMTS_BC5, LTE_BC2, LTE_BC4, LTE_BC5 and LTE_BC17.
I need to have UMTS_BC8.
I do not understand how this device may have LTE support when is not a 4G device; and not works on UMTS_BC8 when Sony indicates that it works in the band 900 UMTS.
My firmware is the stock unbranded for Spain, 4.1.2.
My question is if I can solve this problem if i will flashing a correct euro baseband with flashtools. The problem is that I do not find any baseband in file .ftf for Xperia T; thing that if that there is in XDA is the whole compilation for the Xperia Arc S.
I would be very grateful to you if you will helping me to solve this problem.
Another point is that in the menu of selection of band only me there appears USA Band, when there should appear EURO Band.
A Greeting!!!
This is weird
In fact in my phone I have UMTS_BC8 and there are no LTE bands.
Your customization number 1268-8488 seems right (generic Spain), I can't believe your device is working with a wrong baseband which is the one for LT30a or LT30at.
So, just try to flash a complete new firmware with Flashtool.

Pick an unbranded one for LT30p from any country and... anyway there's also your 1268-8488 (Unbranded Spain) to choose if you like

I thought that, that flashing new firmware the baseband be changed, but no.
I can change firmware but not the baseband.
I was flashed all tips of versions of Android, 4.0, 4.1, 4.3 (all stock) unbranded Spanish, Italian, European, Vodafone, Yoigo.
Even install it a zip archive Baseband by Recovery of Hybrid based stock, without any effect, I have been unable to modify the baseband of the device.
I bought it on Amazon. I imagine it would unlock bad seller
I think it would be either a software solution to fix the phone after a bad unlock or flash a euro baseband on .ftf with flashtools.

I'm thinking that you might actually have an LT30a/LT30at, which does not have the BC8 band and does have LTE support, and either you or the seller flashed the wrong FTF. I don't know if this is actually possible, but if it is the case, you should check under the battery if there is a label that actually shows which model you really have. It's the only thing that makes sense to me, because you're describing an LT30a/LT30at.

mmmm
Its possible.
Maybe they gave me pig in a poke
Or in this case, LT30AT instead of LT30P .
I have no time to open the device and look under the battery, but the sticker off the side.
The model is 12w39, if detachment, put another sticker under PM-0140-BV.
So I conclude that it is very possible that they sold Sony Xperia T LT30at (Sony Mint Amy).
Perfect, I can not use the 900 band HSPA + (BC 8) and nor LTE because in Spain is on the 1800 and 2600 BC 3 and BC 7.
WHILE 2100 can continue to use the UMTS settle me.
Curious that LT30p firmware is going great, really does not give me no type of error.
I will not be forced to claim, as I feel cheated, the box, the firmware and everything was the LT30p.
What a scam.
Thank you very much!.

I thought the same thing, but it's so strange. I mean, why it beahaves that way also with LT30p baseband which doesn't include LTE support?

12w39 is about when the device was made. It says: Year 2012 Week 39 (=september/october 2012)
Pull the same label inside the sim/sd-card door and tell me what's the SI number (abcd-efgh)
Look also at the side behind, it should say LT30p.
I think you can use your warranty anyways.

Made in April 2013, model LT30p, country: United Kingdom, Brand: Orange
Your phone seems to have been assembled with many parts from different phones.
If I were you, I would ask the seller an explanation
Where I can find these values?

Ok, I understood this.
I'd like to know where I can find those values on my phone!

Pull the white label you can find behind the door on the rear cover, just above sim & sd cards.
Purchased Note 5 gold on eBay from US seller. Turns out the phone was from Taiwan. This before I knew about model numbers and I thought that the bands were all I needed to think about to make sure it would work in southern VT US with AT&T. Obviously, came to find out Samsung has regional model numbers.
I love the 9208 for many reasons: unlocked, no AT&T bloatware, and a few other things that just seem to make it a better phone. However, no Samsung Pay and I can't register the phone on Samsung in the US. I don't care about the registering, but I REALLY want Samsung Pay. So, my question....
1. Can I root the phone and get Samsung Pay? I read somewhere that rooting "kicks off Knox" which is apparently bad (I have no idea what that means). Does that mean that I can root and still can't get SP? Also, if I root, what do I lose and what do I gain?
2. Flashing roms. I used to do this in the old days, but spent a few mindless years with iphone (for my husband and daughter) so I am starting over and consider myself a noob. So, can I flash a rom to get SP? Do I flash, then root? Does flashing automatically mean I am rooted? Or do I root first, then flash, then do I get SP? Finally, what do I lose flashing and what do I gain?
3. Lastly, does anyone know if and when the Taiwan model 9208 will get SP from Samsung?
Sorry for all the questions - thought I would get it all in one post! Thanks so much for any help and advice. Oh, and before anyone lectures me for buying non-US model just to get a color or something, please refrain! I already know I should have realized Samsung had regional models - my stupid mistake!
Welcome to the club!
I got the Singapore 920i version 1 for the Gold and 2 for the 64gb !
In answer of your questions. ..
1. No. Root is incompatible with SP.
But I think Android pay can work with Dr. KETAN'S rom and his kernel
Haven't tried it out yet but at least it let me install. SP wouldn't even allow install.
2. Flashing as of now will help no effect on SP. But there are some Roms out there that improve battery life and have mods..I'm on the latest Dr. Ketan 4.1
3. Unknown.
As to if the version you bought will be compatible with your carrier you can check on http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Compare your model with the 920a for at&t
Oh and enjoy ?
i have changed my official rom along time ago, and i dont remember now which model i have- internationl or EU, so, can i try one of the modemfix and if it doesnt work , try the other or that can be harmful to my phone?
if it does harmful, there is a way to find out which model i have?

You can look below your battery. There you find your model number.
so i bought my s10 from dubai and came to india and had to factory reset the device. now i have use indian version and samsung pay changed to indian version as well. . even the mobile signal is getting messed up.
what do i have to do to change back to the original version. please help
Depends on the actual model number you have, so you need to tell us that. Snapdragon phones vs Exynos phones have different procedures.
Once you identify which you have, there are threads here on how to flash stock roms. Read them carefully and ask questions there.
