vodafone spain bug 4g - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

After the update to Android 10 on mobile I stop having 4g coverage in my telephone company, (Vodafone Spain) but in other mobile operators it does. I have contacted both vodafone and sony technical support and they don't give me a solution. For Sony, the phone is fine if it takes coverage in other operators, but that is not the case because before the update it did take 4g.
I have already done all the steps that could be done:
restore factory mobile
change the apn
Repair with Sony software.
I just need to install a rom for example the uk, and I ask you if this can't bother the warranty? and where is there any tutorial to follow?
pd: sorry for my english but I am using the google translator.

Just download XperiFirm and NewFlasher from XDA and take advantage. I fixed My Issues here in Germany by switching from UK to EU and now i have VoLTE and Wifi Calling again. If it does not help to flash the EU Firmware, just try the Service Menu or a App that opens it for You (4G Only eg. from the Play Store). You will be able to change some settings over there including the Mobile Network Frequencies (Xperia 5 is a Global Device). And no. It doesn't voids any warranty if You doesn't unlock Your Bootloader which would allows You to modify the Firmwares. Instructions and Help can be found on the Threads of the Tools (Use the Search or write a Comment).
All the Best!

[Q] Switching firmwares

Hello friends, I'm trying to fix up a GT-N8000 for a friend, it's got ZCBLL5 firmware on it(he got it from china somehow). It did not come with the play store(or any google apps), and since he's an apple guy, he turned to me for help. As it's not my tablet, and i haven't messed much with samsung devices, i don';t want to brick it, so i'm turning to the xda community for a bit of help. We're located in canada, however i see there isn't a canadian firmwrae for this variant. Which would be the best region FW to install, and would it mess up the 3g ability, like would it mess up the IMEI or the CSC. Or would i be better off to root and sideload/flash GAPPS? And would the 3g still function here in canada with the chinese FW. Thanks in advance
Well the german firmware is the one which is updated first so I would advice either the German one or the Nordic one, once you do that you will stop receiving OTA and will have to manually update. I am from India and have installed german and Nordic ones cell services just work fine. The issue with IMEI getting messed to my knowledge will happen only with custom roms.
Once you install any of these roms you will get gapps automatically

I find a way by using "advanced signal status" app where you can chooce various mode and there is LTE mode only too ,but there is also auto mode gsm,wcdma/lte. try this app and it will work.
but i think you need root for this
In the app there is Additional info at bottom then there is information about tablet (or something like that , its estonian for me, but its first choice there) then there is option what you wana use.
i hope it helped.
I will give it a go but I am not going to root my device .
The problem here is that the LTE whitelist file for the US region doesn't have the non-US providers in it. Thus, you won't see the LTE option with your SIM.
You can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viaero4gtoggle, but if that doesn't work, rooting is the only option.

[Q] H60-L02 dual sim update from EMUI 2.3 to 3.0

Hi everyone, I got a dual sim H60-L02 from China (rooted by the seller) and using it in Malaysia.
The shop dealer asked me not to update the phone as I will not be able to use Malaysia SIM card upon updating to the latest firmware.
Is it something to do with the baseband?
Is there anywhere I can find the baseband if I updated the phone and fail to connect to the cellular services?
Do advise / correct me should I have made wrong statement.
Thanks.
sorry but it sounds to me you've got either a clone device or spyware from your seller. try the app Z device test to check the hardware

I want or remove chinese app ..
Even in Contacts i could see chinese.. kindly Help in rooting it to International version EMUI

[Q] LTE/WCDMA/GSM Problem "Not registered on network"

Dear Senior Member,
Please help me as I am stuck with the problem of mobile network in my Galaxy S6 Dual (SM-G920F). My mobile is upgraded recently with 5.1.1 ((PDA: G920FXXU2BOFL CSC: G920FOJV2BOEE CHANGELIST: 5012324 BUILD DATE: 22.06.2015) ). Main problem of my Galaxy S6 now is, when I select WCDMA/GSM or LTE/WCDMA/GSM or WCDMA, then my mobile network is not working and it shows error message "Not registered on network" and also it shows "Emergency calls only". But when I choose GSM only, then my call, message and mobile network work but internet speed is so slow. My upgradation is for that reason and now the same problem as earlier. I think so mane experts are here on Galaxy S6, Please help. I think it happens for Modem FIle or Stock firmware. Then which stock firmware is good for this problem. Please suggest.
Before flashing any ROM bring your S6 1st to your telecom provider for check-up since your S6 is still under warranty. Flashing ROM voids your warranty.

Before updating did you have lte? Idk there was the region specific network block that Samsung put on its phone. Meaning if u bought a phone from Dubai and plan to use in US, u have to put a Dubai sim and make 5 minutes call to unlock the region network block to use it in US.

Either find a uk sim or try some guides in youtube on how people unlocked other new samsungs(Note 3, 4) as should be mostly same for s6! Otherwise you'll have to pay and get it unlocked from a Samsung official shop in Bangladesh or your mobile carrier/service centre.

Xperia XA (Us Warranty) no LTE service

Good day all, hope I'm on the right place/post here.
Wondering if someone can help, I've purchased a Xperia XA F3113 via Amazon from SA.
Phone works 99.9%, the other 0.01% is my issue.
To start with all the settings are set to LTE(Preferred)/WCDMA/GSM, my carrier Vodacom has sent and verified that my sim is LTE activated (Used the same sim on other phones with LTE present)
Here's everything I did to resolve the problem....
1- Phone came from USA with android 6 and no LTE signal just 3g (In a 4G environment)
2- Vodacom sent settings and confirmed. did not work
3- Spoke to Sony and they suggested I upgrade software
4- Upgraded software via Sony Companion to Nougat Android 7
5- Vodacom re-send the LTE settings still no luck.
6- If I search the mobile networks it only finds 3g-Vodacom, 2g-Vodacom, MTN, Cell C NO LTE on any network. Screen shot Attached....
7- Think I've reached Google's end of their information network (searched everything)
OK so now I'm thinking I want to flash/re-install ROM/Firmware with SA (South African) settings due to different Base band versions.
I came across a link but are not allowed to post it yet due to my 1ste post on you're site. But the ink only have the "(F3112_1302-4393_33.3.A.0.127-R1B_Customized_SA.ftf)" for model F3112 dual sim and apparently it wont work on the F3113 single sim....
Google this: 2017/06/xperia-xa-android-7-0-nougat-firmware
Can Anyone maybe help or have some suggestions except for returning the phone.....?
Thnx

Hi, I think that it will not solve your problem. Did not you asked yourself why Sony sell 3 differents single sim device (F3111, F3113 and F3115)?
Look here and "Networks":
http://www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2016-xperias/xperia-xa/
And if I look here Vodacom SA uses LTE B3 for 4G:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/vodacom-south-africa
To confirm your problem if you look here you will see that only F3111 and F3115 will have 4G on Vodacom SA:

Be careful next time you buy a device

You can try but it will probably brick your device or Flashtool will not let you flash it (never tested). Firmwares are not unified probably for a good reason. Maybe an other user can confirm if it works or not

I don't want to break your hopes but the problem is not your network provider so changing some lines in build.prop will not enable LTE Band 3 on your device. It's a modem feature (or maybe related to modem firmware if you are lucky) so it's on the hardware side of your phone. You can try but I know the result The better way is to know if modem chips are same on all XA Single Sim and, if yes, try to flash the modem firmware from a F3111 or F3115.
Cool, will investigate and try that. Thank a lot

Flashing ROMs from F3111 or F3115 to F3113 is not a good idea. Like @rrvuhpg said it can brick your device. My advice is to send it back and ask for different model (if they have it, because you have warranty). There is also a possibility to change just baseband, but I don't have expirience in extracting baseband. I remember that when I used Huawei G510 I flashed MIUI rom with Chinese baseband and then developer added one small .zip file to flash it for other regions and it worked (but I changed that ROM because it takes too much resources for a that phone). So try contacting some senior developer or google for it, but do this if you can't change your phone, because you will lose warranty if you root phone.
Thank you guys I will definitively try some of you're advice's, thanks again....... Will give feedback asap. have a good one..
