Hi guys, today I flashed my phone for the first time to generic global .93 ftf and it all seems to be working fine. My only problem is, before I flashed (and also on my old xperia z), there used to be an option to enable 4G with a toggle button from quick settings. However, on this ftf I do not have this option at all so I have no idea how I would turn 4G on.
Would I have to flash the UK ftf for it to appear back? My only concern is the UK .93 says .98 and I wanted to root it which is only available on .93..
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I have looked around everywhere and under mobile network settings>network mode, my option for LTE has disappeared? I am only left with 3 choices, the 1 it is on atm is WCDMA (preferred)/GSM. Weird because before I flashed, the LTE option was available..?
Did you flash the right firmware for your phone since several D66xx variants are available.
Can you select LTE in the service menu (dial *#*#service#*#*) under service settings - network mode?

Yes I flashed the correct one (I checked with many users first too) it was D6033 & I flashed the global generic one onto it. I can see LTE under service menu but everytime I click it, it goes back to the wcdma_pref one
Edit: Although now when I go onto settings, then under mobile networks settings, network mode has stayed under LTE (PREF)/WCDMA/GSM - but there is no actual option to choose that when I click on it?

Got the same problem right now, i updates via sony pc companion, after i restarted to phone i cant select 4G.
I'm from Denmark btw, so i just downloaded flashtool and flashing the "D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Customized_20NCB", if i get my 4G i let you know.

D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Customized_20NCB.ftf is working fine! i got the 4G button now and i can choose LTE in mobile networks. You can download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061
Do you mean in NC quick settings? Because for me on .77 it isn't showing as default but if you press "edit" There's an option to add it.
I fixed the problem - it was simply the ftf for some reason not giving me the option of 4G, I flashed a different one (Generic UK) & it worked perfectly again!

Hiya,
I flashed a generic 93 ftf so I could root my Z3, then I flashed a pre rooted zip that I made for Lollipop straight after.
LTE working fine again now, I'm back on the UK firmware.
Hello guys.
I have a xperia Z3 from VIVO and flashed a rom from OI, everything went well on flashing the rom but after it finished i noticed that i lost my 4G. When i search for network there have a TIM BRASIL LTE but it won't let me register on it.
Do anyone know how to solve that?
Thanks!
Input the correct apn settings from your carrier

Lito, do you think that would help?
Because the problem is that I am not able to register to the LTE network, it's not related to the ability of using internet.
Actually, this is exactly what happens, after i flash the firmware i have 4G but after a few minutes (Between 5 and 10 minutes) i completelly lose connection to the LTE network, even if it's available in the networks list.

Maybe if you explained a bit better that would?
Like mentioned before this post, try to flash only the baseband from another region, hopefully that will solve it.

Geeks, there have no other region for my version of the Z3, also i am trying to flash many other rooms from my region and all of them results in a error during the flash... Blank error, no description.

Lito, thanks for the sugestion, i flashed the baseband for the Customized PT and after flash i got the 4G signal for about 30 minutes, but when i rebooted the phone, i completelly lost 4G again, and now in the network lists there is no LTE from TIM. Could it be because i installed an european baseband on a mobile here in brazil?
Thanks agian.

thats weird... are you sure you have the correct APN settings inputted? Also, i would assume youve tried flashing the VIVO's baseband or any other USA roms?
Try the following if you have already done all those: go to dial pad and input *#*#4636#*#* > phone info > menu top right > select radio band > try Australia or USA or what ever pops up > scroll down and make sure LTE/GSM auto is selected or try out the other ones > scroll back up and hit the "run ping test"
if all these doesnt work, i would advise you to go back to the original rom.
just curious, which model number is your Z3?

Lito, now i will complicate a little bit more then. First, the model number of my mobile is D6646 from Brazil with DTV.
Also, i tried to flash the Vivo Baseband and it was worse, i did not install any baseband from USA, just from Portugal.
I tried that on the keyboard, but when i chose USA band i just can't even register on any TIM network.
Also, i tried to flash the original rom, but i can't flash any other firmware apart from Oi. I get a blank error line on flashtool for every other rom i tried to install, so it's even worse
Feel the challenge.
Thanks again for all your help.
flash back to the original ROM if you can, also, how did you flash to the new rom? through recovery or Flashtool? if you see a blank space or what ever, you might not have the correct drivers installed on your computer, especially if youre running Windows 8.
that being said, i dont see D6646 in Xperifirm, i cant tell you what to flash and what not to flash. Without that, i wouldnt advise you to flash anything but the original rom that it came with, you dont want to soft/hard brick the device.

Lito, I tryied to flash the original room, I am using XperiaFirm to download the firmware and flashtool to flash. I can flash the Oi room, but i can't flash the vivo BR, the Claro Argentina, or the Customized PT, all of them results in a blank error, it's not drivers problems, since i can install the Oi firmware and also i disabled the signature on windows in order to install.
Anyway, i solved the problem in order to show another problem. Here is the situation:
I created another APN to use when i don't want to use internet because even with data package disabled my mobile send data to the carrier that charges me, when i deleted that APN the 4G worked perfectly, but now my carrier is charging me the data . Any idea how to block this data comsumption?
Thanks again.

that is extremely weird, never had such issues with any of my android phones. make sure data roaming is not on, the carrier shouldnt be able to charge you if you disabled data
Also, make sure the FTF files youve made with xperifirm and flashtool are correct, like not including the TA files etc..., i would advise you redownload those FTF files and try again, also make sure you have the latest flashtool available.
at this point, you are probably better seeking for a developer or someone who can read codes, make a logcat and see if the flashtool thread is available and ask there. Aside from the FTF files, you are better off asking the carrier why they are still able to charge you in such way. Sorry man, this is as far I can aid you in this matter. GL bud!
hello everyone
I upgraded from kitkat to the D83820d twn xx rom a long time ago, and noticed that I only have GSM, WCDMA, and GSM/WCDMA auto options under preferred network, but I didn't care at the time because I wasn't using this device for internet much. but things have changed.
I tried the hidden menu method where you select "Automatic" under WCDMA-Only Network Mode but it didn't work (preferred network mode options didn't change). Does it only work for specific roms? I also found the cust.prop method but I'm hesitated to try it cause I found complains of phones getting bricked.
which method should work on my rom?
The answer is already there on the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3025868
See post #20 or #29 for solution. In my case i had to make a change in two cust.prop files in that directory. Now I have GSM/WCMDA/LTE as preffered in network mode menu.

Download the updated firmware version you want and flash it using odin which is for flashing Samsung phones. Make a note of your APN first before you do the update because you might have to enter that information yourself in Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names (APN)..
In order to flash firmware using odin on a Windows PC you need to put the phone in Download mode by first turning the phone off and then holding the volume down button, the home button and the power button all at the SAME TIME and when the screen turns on let go and press the volume up button to continue and then in odin select AP slot and select your .tar.md5 firmware update you downloaded and wait for odin to finish scanning it after it's done scanning press start and wait until it's done and the phone reboots..
Before you even do any of this turn on developer options by going to Settings>About phone and tapping on the words "build number" about 7 to 10 times rapidly after it turns on press the back button and you'll see developer options on the list now go in there and turn on OEM unlock.. If you DON'T do this you can end up locked out of the phone after the update so do this before you do anything and I'm not kidding you can end up locked out of your own phone!! After the phone is updated put your APN information back in if you have to and you should also have the option to enable or disable WiFi calling and other stuff.
Wow .. I don't understand any of this .. lol you think I could get it done by someone ?

If you are in the USA you're either going to have to ask T-Mobile if they can do it for you or I do, do that type of stuff but unfortunately that's going to require you sending the phone.. But it's really not as hard as it seems it's actually really easy to do it just seems hard because of the amount of steps involved in it. I'm currently at work in Fort Benning in the Military and I will be home later tonight and I can try to walk you through it if you want but I suggest you download the firmware update now because it's about 2.5GB and if you have a slow connection and no WiFi it's going to take awhile to finish... I'll send a link for you so you can download it because you can't do it without it.. What is the firmware version you are currently on? Tap settings>About phone and tell me what it says under "Baseband version"..
N920vvrs3cqe1
What firmware & where do I get that ?

Looks like you're already on the latest version so you can't update any further because you're on the very last update, and you should be able to to toggle WiFi calling on and off if you want.. If you're not able to do certain things it's probably because Verizon and T-Mobile use different bands and the phone is using bands set for Verizon and not T-Mobile... You probably should just go to T-Mobile and ask them to either see if they can set the the APN the right way or see why it's not doing what you want.
1) You're not going to flash the t-mobile firmware to this phone. That's not possible.
2) The n920v is bootloader locked. Flipping the OEM Unlock option is not going to change that. It's just there for looks.
3) You also won't get wifi/video calling on t-mobile using the verizon-only phone.
The only things you'll be able to get working with using t-mobile on the n920v is 2/3/4g and bands 2/4 of LTE.
Hey guys, I have just noticed that my new x2 pro doesnt have an option to change network type: 2g/3g/4g//5g. Or did I miss it? Wth?)

Neh man, actually it did not work... I dont know what to use in that app, and the code doesnt work, sends me back to the dialer.
On mine it is in settings, SIM card and Mobile data -> select your sim card -> preferred network type near the bottom

Is it the Chinese version? I dont have that option anywhere.
hi I have the same issue...
after selecting my simcard I dont have the “preferred network” on the menu. Any idea how to fix it please?
My phone is a dual phone and the SIM card is the 2nd one, should it be registered as SIM #1 to get the full menu ?
Thanks for any help

I got to the conclusion that there is nothing to do. I just hope that maybe after I change my sim card to a 5G one, then 5G will show up automatically when available...
