Should firmware be based on hardware or region? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding Firmware.. I live in south America so I have been using the customized lam firmware which was the default. I'm now moving to Singapore, should I flash the Singapore firmware or continue with this fw? I'm afraid band might not work as well there without the proper fw.. Thanks!

I don't think there's a reason to flash anything. To be sure, check working bands in your phone. You can check that inside Xperia service info; dial *#*#7378423#*#* -> service info -> configuration.
Then ask someone (or Google it) which bands they use in Singapore. If those bands are supported by your phone, you're good to go.
That's what I'd do, anyway.

[Q] Euro Baseband for Xperia T LT30p

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.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320
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.

how to flash different baseband

hi guys, do you know how to change baseband? I mean for example I am on 5.1.1 stock FW customized CH, is it possible to flash say US baseband in it without losing any data? how?
this would help a lot people using my rom in other countries!
I tried with flashtool, flashing only all AMSS_xxx parts from a US fw to my current CH install, but the baseband shown in settings is always the same, so I think I am doing something wrong/the AMSS parts are not really the baseband?
can you help!?
TIA!!
I think better to change phone baseband is changed mode to USA: If you click on dial * # * # 4636 # * # * and select info mobile and you select in the new screen menu (top right) and you can change to US networks.
I've done this several days ago. I'm in Spain and I could not access European 3G and 2G network because new newtork is for usa (LTE same).
I was doing research for improving the signal and great failure. Then I had to flash with flashtool new rom ... hehe
Sorry for my bad English.
thanks mate! i don't need us band actually, I'm in Italy and the European band is fine for me but wanted to know how to do that for us users of my rom. great tip will suggest them to do so hopefully they'll improve the signal strength/switch speed thanks again!
Hope someone can help you out, I love your rom and I just got a d5833 from Hong Kong, I live in Australia and my carrier supports exactly 5833 lte bands (I'm Italian too Btw ☺), lte is actually working but reception isn't good, I'm sure with the right baseband would be better. Thanks for the hard work ?
did you try the method suggested by Joreb? ( *#*#4636#*#* and then chosing USA band)
he was saying basebands are all the same in all d5803 firmwares
Well I did and it wasn't a good idea since now 2g and 3g are not working and I can't switch back to the original baseband since in the menù there's no other option. Any clue?
Edit: flashed your new v3,everything's fine now

???Question: Purchsed note 8, Can't seem to Change Firmware Country origin

Hello, XDA. How are you?
I am used to flashing Sony Xperia devices and It was easy to change country of firmware for the device.
I have purchased SM-SAMN950FDBLKEU from Amazon Canada.
It looks like from United Arab Emirates and it has 4g and other important dates of UAE in Calendar eg. ramadan
I want to Change Note 8 firmware's country environment to Canada or European Countries.
I have tired downloading firmware from sammobile and flashing with odin while OEM locking is unlocked.
Auto reboot and F.reset was checked during the flash.
It still did not change anything. TRA ID is still UAE. Calendar is Still UAE. Still 4g logo. I want LTE logo.
What am I not understanding or doing it wrong?
Thank you.

Welcome to Samsung where they use 2 different SOC(cpu's)!
One Snapdragon soc (North American and China) and the other their own Exynos soc(rest of the world)!
And their firmwares are not interchangeable because of the different SOC's!
Since your phone is sm-n950fd (dual sim correct?) which is exynos soc.. You can only flash any sm-n950f stock firmware on your phone.
You can't flash any sm-n950U/U1/W stock firmwares because of different soc, snapdragon.
So all (which I've seen so could be one that I don't know) sm-n950f firmwares will have only 4G instead of LTE symbol.
Without root:
You can use substratum and sungstratum add-on (paid app) and a substratum extra mod to get LTE symbol if you want.
Edit: here is the link for the substratum extra add-on for the LTE symbol.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ohayoubaka.statusbarsamsung
With root: but you'll lose Samsung pay and secure folder for good so make sure if that's okay with you first!
You can root your phone and flash your country's CSC file/or mod a file for LTE symbol (search XDA for that method).
Or don't worry about it since 4G(world)= LTE(North America)(maybe other places).

Do the research about SM-N950F combination file. This is the only way to change CSC if yours N950F. Do it by your own risk.

VoLTE, VoWIFI, 5G - carrier settings by Sony

Hi all,
Support of Sony doesn't have any idea, how it works....:
I bought a EU-device and use it in Switzerland. Unfortunately, they didn't integrate the Swiss carrier settings. Due to this, I don't have VoLTE, VoWifi (Wifi calling) and 5G.
I contacted Sony by phone and they told me that the device seems to have defect, that's why it doesn't work. So I wrote an e-mail to Sony support and they answered that the hardware is only capable to have these functions for the countries it is build for. My reply was that this is an EU-Version, so the hardware isn't the problem, they just need to add the carrier settings and if they know, when they will add them. Answer of the support: No, it is the hardware.
It is really frustrating with Sony. They have build such a nice device, but with this support, they shoulnd't be suprised about falling sales.
I was thinking of open the bootloader with Magisk and try to add the settings by myself. But first, I have never done this and I am not sure yet, what I have to do exaclty (step by step). Second, I loose the guarantee. And third, I am not sure if banking apps still work afterwards.
I really love this device, but I am a little frustrated about Sony.
If you have an idea, how I can solve this problem, you would make me happy
Flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.

I tried this already (several different localizations), bitit didnt help. The problem is, that Swiss providers didn't integrate their settings into Googles carrier services, but into another database for manufacturers. Unfortunately, Sony didn't do that on the Xperia 1 ii (even if they did it on past Xperias).
But I am most frustrated, that their customer care blame it on the hardware, but it's a software problem. Even after explaining, they don't wanna check it with a specialist. So trumping something, which isn't true.
Maybe you should contact your provider. Unlocking bootloader won't help.
Envoyé de mon XQ-AT51 en utilisant Tapatalk
According to Swisscom, everything is ready and the system is waiting for the device to register in IMS. But as the mobil doesn't have the carrier datas, it probably can't do it.
So I am back at the point, where the mobile needs the settings implemented for Swisscom...
We need to wait for flash firmware with Volte support, that's all.
For now FlashTool is not supporting our device.
Later just flash US frimware you will loose double sim but you will get VoLTE and WiFi calling. I did that on Xperia 1. It was easy and satisfy choice
I have an XQ-AT51 and also tried the UK-version, which support VoLTE/VoWifi. But as mentioned, the carrier settings of Swiss providers are missing.
I really don't know if it can help, but, have you already tried this way? here
The mentioned switch in this post is greyed out on my phone and my phone is also not IMS-registered (even my provider is offering it - I have also a second SIM for the same number with an Xperia 10 Plus with VoLTE and VoWifi). So I am pretty sure, it is only about integrating providers/carriers settings. But as Sonys customer care doesn't care about it (only this sentence shows that something is wrong there) and they don't want to check it internally with an xpert on VoLTE/VoWifi, it is frustrating.
Hey PlatinCH, any news? Did you manage to get VoLTE/VoWifi working?
That's the only thing holding me back from buying it
Yes it is quite confusing for sony, i used to flash xz premium and xperia 1 with SEA firmware on my HK device and both able to use VOLTE and VOWIFI in Thailand. So i just wait for SEA firmware to release for Xperia 1 II and i flash it over to my Xperia 1 II (HK) last night. This is quite problem the volte button is there but not work, as well noticed that IMS is not registered although it trigger on but greyed out. I think pproblem is with Sony.
Anyhow i recommend to use New Flasher now as it support Xperia 1 II, and i am contributor to the dev since Xz Premium day so the dev is very updated and quick respond and it is simple and easy to use.
Question for the OP. Have a checked the modem config files to see if your carrier is listed in there? Also have you checked to see what modem config file your phone is currently using? Just type in *#*#service#*#* and go to service info, then choose software info. Your modem config will be listed at the bottom.
Quite sure it's listed there,
This phone will always select ROW Commercial config.
Don't know if this a bug or a feature from Sony
has anyone found a solutuion for wifi calling?

normally you just need to flash your country. if you live in uk then flash uk. it used to always work previously, but in xperia 1 iii to make cross flash it wont be always work and you will lose ability to OTA. but if not cross flash and your model is the same model number in your country volte and 5g will work, still OTA is not working anyhow you need to flash update manually everytime

If you are flashing the firmware for.your region and volte doesn't work then you won't have much luck flashing different region firmware. However if you want try flashing SEA firmware if it's only compatible with your model

Question Help to clarify doubts about CSC changing with Samkey

Greetings folks, i have been reading a bit about changing the csc of the phone, I own a s21 Ultra G998B version and its branded with a owo rom, i live in Chile, and the Claro company of course is not up to date with the otas, and also i want to flash a clean rom with no bloatware. I read that with samkey i can change the CSC to an OXO (mine is owo) rom so i can then flash the muti csc rom. I also read that in order for samkey to work i have to roll back to may update? i'm currently on august update. am I correct in the process? can anyone recommend to which csc i can change so i won't turn my phone into a mess
thanks to all who can provide some light jeje
Isn't CHO the Multi-CSC Firmware for Chile?

hi, yes it is, but i looked in samfirmware and the cho version is until august, so i think it would be the same? mine is chl which is for CLARO company and is also in august update, i would like september updates so i can try the andy 12 beta
When I bought it, it had May firmware. I changed CSC before any other update .
So , may update is working for SamKey.
Otherwise, you need to flash with latest Odin the may firmware of your CSC you want (downgraded)

No to both. Thailand FW is configured for the Exynos SoC. The China FW, even though it's configured for the Snapdragon SoC it's not compatible with the US Unlocked variant. Do you live in Thailand? If so I'm curious why you aquired a US device. We often see users buying non native devices, maybe they got a good price, maybe they moved out of their region, maybe it's a company issued phone but it's a pain when call features or 5G don't align with your service provider. Flashing non stock firmware often causes more problems than it solves. Samsung is moving closer and closer to proprietary software for individual models, mix and match is becoming a thing of the past.

I live in Kaliningrad, Russia. This device I've bought for 30usd, new, boxed,, here, in Russia, so I was looking for ways to make it work as a Russian device(full menu translation, bands, etc.). Actually no matter, which language is used, at first I had troubles using android 11-there was no esim. Than using abd I flashed it to oneui 4.0, esim works, all lte bands are supported.

$30 USD is an awesome deal! If all bands and esim are functional that's probably as good as it gets. Unfortunately Exynos compatible FW which is dominant in Russia can't be installed on your device. Gboard may be your best option for Russian Language.
