Hi, yesterday when i plugged my phone(R800at) to the PC, PC companion told me that there was an update for my phone (in that moment i had the 3.0.1.B.0.270 version in my phone, 2.3.3), so i thought that probalby was the 2.3.4 update for the r800at, after updating i search for the android version of my phone and it's 2.3.3 again but the build number is 3.0.1.B.0.285, so someone know the changes between the two versions??
Ty.
Same here i can't figure out what the difference is... Are you on AT&T also?
If you look at my r800at root questions post I lost root when I upgraded to .285 other then that I cant tell a difference.
So there isnt a way to update to 2.3.4?

Flash nordic generic rom.
I haven't noticed the changes either other than not being able to root.
Yes the only way to root now its to flash your device to another firmware, i used the r800a 2.3.4 and use the Doomlord zergrush to root it, and i happy with the change, i need test if the data speed change because now the phone only shows a H and not an H+.
One big difference for me is that this firmware seems to have solved a problem with my Xperia Play that's made it unusable as a phone for the past 2 months or so...about 1/2 the calls I make or receive, I could hear the caller, but they couldn't hear me. I tried switching to the North American generic firmware and that didn't solve the problem, but I saw this firmware yesterday and decided to give it a shot. I've been making calls all day long without any trouble. I wish I knew what they changed that fixed it. I miss 2.3.4...maybe the Nordic generic is worth trying?
I asked Sony about a changelog and was told there is no official changelog.....guess we are left to try out for ourselves.

AT, A, and I, have no hardware differences.
You can install any rom/kernel for any of them into your phone.
Id suggest first getting off 2.3.3, You wont be sorry.
You can flash the stock 2.3.4 r800i.

With Nordic Generic, were you able to get the H+? Have you tried North America Generic?
Actually, 4G is the only reason I'm still in 2.3.3.
It just showed H but the speeds were about the same. Which firmware are you referring to when you say north American generic?

Right but which build? far as I saw the .42 build was the generic nordic one....didn't see any specific north american generic.
I think this is probably the one he's referring to...this is the version I tried when I was having trouble with phone calls on AT&T's original stock build as well.

One thing I noticed is under about phone and software update. There is now a Network choice to download the phone updates over Wifi only or Wifi and mobile networks.
Before I could only do update via Mobile Network. I haven't had a chance to see what else is changed. Its a bummer it is not 2.3.4 though. This update was shown as certified in Dec of 2011. Took them long enough to push it out. I see no mention of any other certifications on the certification site that I saw the update on initially, ptcrb site. Sorry can't post link because I lack that ability.

Oh sorry for not replying, I just got lost and I didn´t remember where I wrote. You assumed a lot and your asumptions were right. I'm on r800a .42 and I sometimes have problems with data speeds. I made before and after tests with mobilespeedtest.com and geekaphone.com/mobile-speed-test and the results are more or less the same. Sometimes higher scores and sometimes lower...
I would like to return to at&t stock but the pros overweight the cons. I have root access, status switches in drop down status bar, changed my font, and even CWM!.
The best that could happen in the future is stock ICS for R800at...
facil - easy
change is that the camera shooting with auto focus, but nothing else, I have the same cell in Bolivia, but flashee with a version "a" and wonder if you are using 4g Keep it the original version of AT & T, but if not better using a firmware "a
el cambio es que la camara filma con auto focus, pero nada mas, yo tengo el mismo celular en bolivia, pero lo flashee con un version "a" y de maravilla, si usas 4g mantenelo la version original de at&t , pero si no mejor usa un firmware "a": Cool:

would love to have a fix for that issue on the R800at!!!
The only way i have found to fix it is to switch the radio to GSM only.
It just sucks because i have to switch back to WCDMA to use my data.

I'm trying to find out if there is an ICS update for the Xperia Arc. I know there is an update out but that it's not available for all handsets yet. The SI number is 1246-3341. I'm not going to bother rooting and flashing if there is no update for that SI number. Anyone know anything?
I realise this info is probably out there somewhere but I can't find anything definitive.

It's better to just bother to root and flash an ics Rom. So much more things you can do after rooting as well

Yes it does, It matters what CSC is on the phone, and Where the phone came from. Meaning the Version of the phone we have will NEVER come to the USA . (Which is were I live) thus no software updates in the USA. Where my phone came from when they get the update I get the update.
Just plugged my 2 day old Xperia ZL into PC companion and its dowloading 10.1.A.1.434 to update...

AWESOME! I just got it! I couldnt get it yesterday But I got it tonight!
Only 2mb so I wonder what changed?
i heard some ppl said that it would not let u unlock BL
^ You may be right. The member in the thread linked below claimed he had an unlockable bootloader and lost it after the 434 update. If you were planning on unlocking and flashing ROMs, you may want to wait until someone can confirm it.

No, the BL unlock status doesn't change with the 10.1.A.1.434 update. I updated to .434 and BL unlock allowed says "yes" for mine.

It was different for my xperia t. The update came out for uk and i had to wait around a month to get it
As the title says, attached are the links to download the 10.3.1.A.0.244 Commercial/Journalists (1270-4005) firmware for the C6506. This contains the same baseband needed for the AT&T LTE, not sure about others. From my observations, the firmware is identical to the US Generic, nothing more...nothing less.
If you want to use it to flash other C6506 variants (e.g. Canada, Mexico, etc...), you should be able to flash everything except the baseband and that will maintain your original baseband. Alternatively, you can flash the original baseband afterwards if the included baseband doesn't support your carrier. Just make sure you have a stock FTF of your firmware before you decide to go this route.
I was also able to successfully root it via DoomLord's latest thread. It will require the kernel from the previous C6505 10.3.A.0.423 stock firmware (C6506 ONLY). Customization doesn't matter, as long as it's for the C6506 and Android 4.2.2 so the kernels match. If not, you'll get into a bootloop.
Upon successful initial boot, it will ask you to download Data/MMS settings. Just as well, it will default to WCDMA connection type, so just go under Settings>Networks(more)>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and select LTE.
It is always HIGHLY ADVISABLE that you keep a stock FTF of your firmware before flashing any other stock FTF that changes your customization, so you can easily go back to your original customization or repair the phone in case something goes wrong. You can learn more about this here.

So whats different on this compared to other stock images? Just curious

Would this work for my locked canada C6506 ?
I noticed zero differences between this and US Generic. Software is dead on identical in every way. The only reason I flashed this is because Sony hasn't released the 10.3.1.A.0.244 for the C6505 US Generic...and I, and others I'm sure, are highly impatient to wait
It should work, just make sure you have an FTF of your current stock ROM in case you need to flash the baseband from it. Like I said, I don't know for certain whether the baseband from this ROM supports the LTE bands of your carrier or not. For me, AT&T was supported the same way the US Generic did.

Can this rom work on locked bootloader?
Absolutely. Flashing stock FTFs don't require an unlocked bootloader, only custom ROMS do. So you should be good to go.

The update is awesome, the phone is pretty much flawless now.
BTW...Sony just released the update for the US Generic (just now)...so you might want to check for the the OTA or use PC Companion. In other words, you don't need to flash the ROM in this thread.

Urgent help for Xperia ZL (6505) 4.1
Guys - I just got a Xperia ZL (c6506) and unlocked it from Claro. The problem is that Claro has put so much of bloatware on the phone plus there is still for update on 4.1 JB.
Can I flash a stock ROM (4.3) on my current phone to get rid of the bloatware and run 4.3 ? I am still on baseband 10.1.1.A.1.253 and bootloader is locked.
I understand this is a pretty novice request but please help as I am getting confused with the multiple info being provided.
Can you give me A link of c6506 baseband or ftf that LTE supported ? Because it has dead link .

i bought my phone in december 2013 and yes supports 3g because in other phones i have 3g

i have xperia play r800i (international) and i need r800a (America) but i cant found the firmware
i found 1 firmware but on flashtool is giving an error:
this is my problem in flashtool i press the ray/flash mode/ i select the firmware but dont charge information of the firmware and i dont know why
so its posible change r800i to r800a?
I asked where and not when . As where the phone came from usually decides which model the phone is.
But as you worked out, you have the wrong model. I don't think it's possible to change the r800i to the r800a as the frequency support is a hardware thing, not a software thing.
hello,I want to F936U flash F936u1 Firmware,how can I do?
I'm absolutely sure that you can do that.
I have tried it yesterday and successfully changed the model.
But, you can't flash it via ordinary Odin. You have use a patched Odin which can be found in XDA and flash the u1 firmware in it.

Hey shorty I bought it used with U firmware and just to be safe to make sure it's stock and the fact U (and W) versions didn't get much updates, I flashed with the U1.

Hey I'm not too sure if you mean this, but yes mine is factory unlocked (actually a dev/demo device). And yes on Canadian network. You can always flash with the newest ATT ROM if yours is from ATT but hasn't gotten updates. Just make sure it indeed is the right model.

I did not keep user data so not sure if you can or should. But I think if you're switching model/CSC, the general consensus is to do a clean flash. If you just want to enable Canadian bands that are disabled on a US device, you can search up a way to do so I think using engineering mode.

If you're on any of the U or U1 firmware, I think you can safely flash to any other U/U1 without any issues. I usually cross reference with samfw and Frija too. Have a wonderful day too friend.
Would this enable Sim for phones without it? The SM-F9360 does not have esim support, could be software, I hope.
Can i go from U to W and then root? Or not possible?
Can I go from ATT and flash TMO variant if the model number is the same? SM-F936U? The phone is unlocked FYI. [email protected]
