Does Z3 D6603 have to same radio hardware as D6616 ? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Xperia Z3 D6616 T-Mobile variant, and I was wondering if the Z3 D6603 have the same radio hardware as the D6616.
Because the D6603 support many LTE bands, but the D6603 T-Mobile one supports just the LTE bands 2,4,12 and none of them work in my country.
I followed this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...d-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269/
And managed to unlock all the LTE bands, and I was hoping that my D6616 hardware supports at least the LTE bands 3 or 20 who are working in my country, but LTE is still not working, so I think maybe I don't have the hardware, but I need to be sure please if anyone can help? or maybe if there is a way to add the two LTE bands (3 or 20) in some way I'd be very grateful.
PS : The (Before & After) pictures, show "4G" but in fact it's just HSPA+. When I type *#*#4636#*#*, and select LTE only, the signal disappears so there is no support.

Can I install the drivers on Windows XP?

How and wich drivers did you install MI_04 device? I cant install the COM drivers, Pls help.

Upgrade your OS, even trying to connect to the internet via tethering to an XP machine was hopeless because of drivers.

So sorry I meant D821
have you tried to use a different sim card? someone elses sim card..
My nexus Sim is Vodafone and I have a tablet that supports calling with Etisalate Sim, I switched the Sims and the Vodafone one works perfectly on the tablet but the Etisalate don't work on the mobile and when I returned them back the Vodafone don't work again and the Etisalate works again so the problem is with the phone
I tried re flashing Paranoid Android but the same problem
Try flashing stock. If it's the same, it's hardware. Sim card, device or something. Or its carrier related issue.
Sounds like the radio is set to LTE only mode.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and check your network configuration

[Q] US LTE to international bands?

I have purchased the US LTE version and live in Australia.
Is it possible to modify the LTE bands available on the US version so I can us LTE in Australia? Specifically I would like to be able to use the 1800MHz band for LTE.
Or are the LTE bands hardware specific to the different versions of the shield?
I can still use HSPA+ so it's not a deal breaker but it would be nice to use LTE as well.
Maybe you shoud try to flash the European Lte version.
Of course you must be rooted and have recovery like CWM installed.
When done that you can try it.
When it works it works and when not you can always go back.
Same problem

S6 Edge At&t unlocked No update and LTE signal

Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??
First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.
Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?
Sent from my SM-925A using XDA Free mobile app
Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.
Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.
It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.
Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..
for sure people here can help you more on this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge
I have my s6 Edge in Fully unlocked condition with Root Access also..i purchased it as unlocked from Dubai. But i cant find any Network Selection mode in my settings. Itz a ATT variant with model number 925A. The device is not taking 4G signals in india. Also there is no Network selection option in the settings to toggle between 3g & 4G..
Please help me?

D6603 lose 3G and LTE bands for my country after MM FTF update

hello
i was gifted a D6603 running android 5.1, i downloaded via flashtool the Generic Global firmware for this model, and after upgrading, i can't connect to any LTE or 3G signal, it only lists 2G signal.
the device worked perfectly before upgrading, i never checked the bands listed on the service menu before upgrading, now the listed bands are
GSM_850 GSM_900 GSM_1800 GSM_1900
UMTS_BC1 UMTS_BC5 UMTS_BC6 UMTS_BC19
LTE_BC1 LTE_BC3 LTE_BC19 LTE_BC21
D6603 should have a lot more bands, and they were obviously available before updating it
lacking almost all the bands to work in Chile, i don't know what to do, i tried GENERIC_LAM with no success, even downgraded to 4.4.4, always checking the rom says LTE_GLOBAL
Edit:
customization number 1288-2296 no roms matching that number anywhere, confirmed that NFC is not working also
the only thing that seems to be my last chance is finding the exact rom it used

You use the new flash tool:

Op, can you check what configuration your phone has loaded? To do this type this in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* then "Service Info" then "Software info". there should be row called Current modem Config: What does it read?
From the XZ Premium available modem configurations i can see following UK stuff available.
amss_fsg_maple_ee_ims_tar
amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_tar
amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar
amss_fsg_maple_telefonica_uk_ims_tar
amss_fsg_maple_telefonica_uk_tar
amss_fsg_maple_virgin_uk_tar
amss_fsg_maple_vodafone_uk_tar
amss_fsg_maple_vodafone_uk_volte_vowifi_tar
For the 3UK to work from phone side, you probably need amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar loaded in current modem config.
Do you have volte calls option available under Mobile network settings?
If everything there, but not working still then need to get feedback from 3UK if they need to switch it on for XZ Premium

hi with EE firmware there is current modem config there is: amss_fsg_maple_ee_ims_tar.mbn and EE Wifi Calling and EE VoLTE works
hi with 3UK firmware- the correct modem config is there-> but no Band 20, No VoLTE (and no Wifi Calling- looking at 3UK website -> even the 3UK XZP doesn't have Wifi calling support).
I note the EE current firmware security update is from June'17, 3UK latest firmware is April'17.
Maybe things will improve when 3 UK update their firmware
A big downside of XZP seems to be you can't lock onto a specific band... (you can fix LTE but not the band)
If the correct region firmware is flashed and correct config loaded then volte should be good to go from phone side.
Operator can still limit volte per device model or firmware version.
Comparing the April firmware and June, there are no changes in modem config files.
But there is hope that new build is the qualifying factor for 3UK.
O2 UK has volte and vowifi active with the June update also
LTE band locking will be available when good root support arrives.
PS. If you feel like experimenting then you can take the latest EE firmware and switch out the oem.sin from 3UK firmware and flash it.
This should give you newest base and 3uk oem config.
I have just flashed the 3 firmware. I can confirm that I am not getting band 20 or volte.
The option to turn it on is not in settings either.
Current modem config:
/system/etc/customization/modem/amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_tar
Hopefully the June update will fix it.
Edit: I can't test adding the three oem bit into the ee firmware as I am going away now and can't flash my phone. But will try and test when I get back if no one has (or the newer firmware is available) by then

Yes you can flash the official EE firmware without having to unlock.
Get the firmware via xperifirm then flash using newflasher

Any ideas why unlocked version has o2 modem?
modem is loaded via detection of sim, but volte settings come from oem.sin that is in the regional firmware.

Have you tried ringing three and asking them? If so what did they say?

In that case it is loading the wrong modem.
The modem that is needed is in the folder but not loaded.
amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn
Whereas the one that is loaded is amss_fsg_maple_hutch_uk_tar.mbn
if you could alter files in oem.sin then this could be changed.
Do we have a method to repack .sin files? I know how to "unsin" and how to extract .ext4 but repacking is unknown to me.
Also it is possible to select the configuration manually via app. Might not work with non-rooted devices.
Check the tutorial here https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/enabling-volte-xperia-z2-xperia-z3-t3438505
root, build.prop changes and shortcutmaker is needed.
Also maybe the 3uk june update will change which configuration is loaded will check when it drops.
Anybody managed to connect to band 20 on EE with the latest firmware update?
Not sure if I've connected or not with the latest update, but since then I no longer see 4G+ (which is the norm for other EE phones, but for some reason I had it on the XZ Premium until now).
It is still using CA and VoLTE is still working, so I assume band 20 is still usable.
Cellmapper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper will show you which band you are connected to.
My Sonyss show 4G+ when there is Carrier Aggregation in use. Should see LTE-A in Cellmapper when that is the case.

Having returned from the Lake District I can confirm I had use of band 20 with no problems, and it made a big difference to coverage and speed. Many places in excess of 100Mbps with band3+20!
