Hello, the title says it all. I flashed the latest generic US ROM and lost the ability to connect to LTE. I just want to go back to a stock ROM, any version will do as I can always upgrade it. Can somebody please share any Bell stock ROM?
Thank you
If nobody has the ROM is there a way to trick the official Sony software by playing around with the build.prop file so that it thinks it's a Bell stock ROM that needs to be updated? Can anybody share the build.prop from a Bell Canada Xperia ZL? Thx

C6502?? for Bell Canada.
I may be wrong here but are you sure your phone is a C6502. I played with the Xperia ZL in a Bell store and it was a C6506. The C6502 doesn't support LTE, only HSDPA. If you look at your factory box, it should say on a white sticker if it's a C6502 or C6506.
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - C6502, C6503, C6506
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - C6502, C6506
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - C6503
4G Network LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - C6506
LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - C6503
If it is a C6506, then you flashed the wrong FTF so you probably have the wrong baseband. Your hardware supports LTE but your software thinks it doesnt.
I would make sure its really supposed to be a C6502 if I was you. If it isn't, then flash the C6506 FTF and LTE should be there.
Again, make sure it's a C6502 and good luck ... I dont think anyone created the FTF from an original Bell ROM.
You are right! .. for some reason I thought it was a C6502 when it is in fact a C6506. I'll try with that ROM thanks!
EDIT: I think I checked many times the phone info and it always said C6502. See these screenshots. But the box does say C6506 WTH!

If your box says it's a C6506 but the phone says C6502 and you never flashed it with C6502 then I would ask myself if this phone was really new. Did you buy it from someone?? Is it possible that that someone had flashed it with a wrong firmware and sold it to you. Did your phone have all the Bell bloatware on it when you first got it?
Like I said, I was playing with it in a Bell store and it was definitely a C6506.
Did you try to flash the C6506 FTF with Flashtool?
Is the LTE working now?
I'm curious to know how this turns out.
It is brand new, got it directly from Bell. If you see the link to the screenshots, those were captured by someone else and it says C6502. I still haven't found a C6506 US generic 10.3.1.A.0.244 ROM :/ ... I found a commercial/journalist one which I'm not sure what that means. I'd still would like to go back to the Bell one.
BTW LTE is working with the C6502 ROM after I restored my APN/Network settings. Weird!
So I finally have my phone with the correct ROM. I flashed an older generic US C6506 ROM, rooted, restored my Titanium backup and then using the Sony software updated to the latest version. I lost root but then I flashed an older kernel, rooted and re-flashed the newer kernel. So far so good, got my phone debranded as I wanted, LTE works and everything

Huh, So I guess as long as the hardware supports LTE, the software part takes a back seat!
Glad everything is working for you now. The 244 is perfect, didn't come across any issues! :good:
Is the LTE still working on your phone? Just to be clear.....the "LTE" symbol is in the upper right hand corner, right? And it's not just the "H" symbol. Thanks

guys, someone help me please! SE Arc S ICS 4.0.4 - Kernel Stock - baseband 77
I remember when I bought my ARC S, the version was Lt18A (mobile purchased in the Store Magazine Luiza, certified by Anatel, Brazil), working on 3G 850mhz/2100mhz! after updating the rom he went on to appear Lt18I, and for all I know, only works on 3G 900mhz/2100mhz. I think that's the problem, my phone stopped recognizing the 3G on 850MHz, which is available by Vivo in my area!
any way to change this? baseband, kernel, rom??

baseband, most likely.
or to be sure, flash the entire ROM that dedicated fot LT18A, because LT18i is the international version

problem in hardware!! solved in assistance
I have accidently flashed a LT28h (LT28H6_1_E_1_20) firmware on my LT28i.
1. should i Flash LT28i's firmware or is it ok to keep it like that?
2. what is the best Firmware for Europe (i dont need LTE)?
3. Does LT28i have LTE band?
it does not really matter
They all are about the same.
Therefore...there is no "better" one
1) Unless it really bothers you, then no
2)All the same
3)Assuming you mean that it supports it...then yes

I would flash the 29 international fw. I done think the 20 will have lte, unless you flash the baseband from 29 or 105.

Hi I'm in Australia, and about to buy a Note 2 LTE. But there are two International models, namely the "N7105" and the "N7105T".
Does anyone know what the difference is, as I wouldn't want to get the wrong one.
I tried looking online, but to no avail
I know most 4G providers here run on LTE1800mHz (/B3?)
Any help would be REALLY appreciated!
The N7105 has three LTE bands: 800, 1800 and 2600 mHz
The N7105T has two LTE bands: 1800 and 2600. It doesn't have the 800 mHz band.

Yes I guess. Only n7105 800Mhz cant work on n7105t Roms.
It looks like another difference is firmware.
I have the N7105T (from Telstra in Australia) and just rooted using the CF Auto Root package for the N7105. No problems there, but when I try and use Triangle Away it says "Cannot find hidden partition. Are you not using ICS?" I'm using 4.1.1 which came installed. I have heard of others with the T version having to flash the N7105 firmware, then Triangle Away works. I just hope that firmware isn't needed for anything important...

Hey mate. i just picked up my n7105t from telstra & i am wanting to root it straight away. Are you still having the "Cannot find hidden partition. Are you not using ICS?" issue? If not, how did you fix it?
I only just picked up the device from, waiting for the battery to reach its first full charge & then i'll root.
Hey vinpor - I have very good news for you! Triangle Away has been updated with support for GT-N7105T! I installed the update and tried to run TA again, no problems with the updated app, it's all sweet! (Although I have not verified the binary count myself... but I got to the point where I would rather have root, I don't care so much about warranty/binary etc. anymore.)
Hi all,
I too have the Telstra N7105T and would like to flash the N7105 Stock Rom to it.
Just wondering if this is a problem and where I can get a copy of the latest ROM for it

Hey M0381U5,
Give this a try: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7105T
Never had to restore a stock ROM before... all the best!
Carrier Branded to Stock
Thanks for the link,
I am actually after the stock international ROM for the N7105,
which is on this link, thanks heaps
to put on my N7105T to kill the carrier bloat.
But also want to be sure that if this is even possible?
and the the Stock International ROM wont kill my specific N7105T
Thanks for your helps
Cheers
I have been using LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 for a little bit now, no problems at all. So I think you'd be fine using the stock international ROM. Just make sure you backup your important files (IMEI, NV, EFS) and get your recovery setup. Pretty hard to actually brick your phone unless you pull the battery while it's installing a ROM or something.
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.

You'll need 7-Zip or any extractor that can handle 7Z formats.
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.

Thanks! How is the rom so far? BTW I'm on T-Mobile USA
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 found the solution
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.
