ps. here is a SS

From the screenshot, it seems you need to enable USB debugging on the phone.
BTW, X10 big = X10i, X10 mini pro = U20i, X10 mini = E10i. Only flash the right files for the phone model.

there is no 3g option, perhaps the option 2g only and its unchecked :S im getting only edge

3g should be working. Maybe you don't have a strong 3g signal that's why its using edge?

thanks a lot
You probably have a u20a model, remove the battery cover and look for it. When flashing a u20i baseband/firmware, you lose 3G.... I know because it happened to me!! look around for a way to revert back to stock u20a and update (I used a brazilian generic one).

Uhm I have already search the exhaustive 3 pages of the dev section and found nothing related to install cyanogen (or even Free Xperia Project...) on a sk17a
So nobody tried to install it on a sk17a? so far i have search here in the forum and google and dont find anything

it will not work , if you flashed cyanogenmod on your sk17a using any method then network will not work
I have a sk17a, checked CM forums, and it WILL work. It works on mine. There my HSPA is definitely working same as with stock, though I'm not sure if the sk17a has more issues than the sk17i with this rom.
there's no problem, my phone was sk17a, but when i flashed CM7 it displayed sk17i, but the 3G worked with no problems... the variable i/a it's only the frequencies band and it can't be changed by flashing firmwares
sorry about my poor english, i'm "working" on it

[TRICK]FORCE GSM MODE for ICS .587 Firmware

As you all known,the new ICS .587 firmware have a very fastidious bug:if you set radio band to only GSM,after reboot(sometimes by itself)it turn automatically to 3g/gsm.
So i've found the way to force the phone to work only in GSM:
1)Download "LTE Settings" from market(or from the attachment),open it,click menu button,chose "radio band selection" and select"AUS2 Band":now your phone is "limited" to only work in GSM.
2)To return to default symply redo same step and select your old band(EURO,USA,JAPAN).
3)Optional but raccomanded click this(51% will be donate to UNICEF):

greeting
I followed your advice and installed LTE Settings
The radio band selection came just with us. and I selected by mistake.
I'm from Europe but I can not select eur. because it shows just us.
Now the phone shows no network found and can not call anyone.
I reinstalled kernel, rom backup but nothing. No networks found. My phone is dead
Is there any solution?

hum..i think your problem is with BASEBAND(have you a stock firmware?)
Use a .587 FTF to reflash with FLASHTOOL,i suggest 4.0.4 - 4.1.B.0.587 (Nordic):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627627
After that you can restore your backup..
It should work!
Hi Arcatarc
Thanks for the quick response.
In my panic I totally forgot about the baseband.
I reflash nordic .587 and it works. Pfuuuuuuiiiiiiiii.
Thanks again

Hi Arcatarc,
I followed your advice, however once the phone reboots it switches back to WCDMA(preferred)/GSM.
I am using Baseband 77 with Jelly Sandwich 8.3, please help.

Yes,it is true,in settings it switch again,but as you can see it use only gsm...
Nice tip dude, cheers .. Really annoyed me how it randomly changed as GSM is way more stable and consistent on signal strength for me.
Thank you for pointing that out, I now understand.

Hi there, I believe it has something to do with the area / country in which it was sold, and also the frequency bands for 3G (so in short different areas have different frequency's for phones) .
(I use a X10I rom on my X10A and there seems to be no difference for me .)

I would not recommend doing that if your phone seems to work fine, and if you are having problems with your phone you normally can use Sony pc companion to reinstall the firmware.
The only reason mine runs an X10I firmware is because my phone got bricked and the X10A firmware would not work.

Hi... i have a x10i and i am looking for a rom to flash into it, but i don´t know how to do it...
i´m searching forum´s to learn...
can you tell me what rom did you install and the steps?
i´m looking for a rom that transform my 2.3.3 android into a 4, or something like that...
Thanks!
Flashing a x10i rom to my x10a phone switched the working bands from:
umts_bc1, umts_bc2, umts_bc5, umts_bc6
to
umts_bc1, umts_bc4, umts_bc8
Then in order to reconfigure the bands I flashed x10a rom, but It don't worked ¿what's wrong with my phone?

LG G2 D802 no LTE

Hello, I bought the LG G2 D802 from china, I live in Georgia use beeline as my network provider. The phone satisfies all specs for Beeline 4G LTE.
I did all of the tricks described on XDA-Developers (changing to lte from hidden menu, editing build.prop and settings.db). Software which was installed was HKG. I installed resurrection rom but still don't get LTE signal. What should i do now?
Please help
Do you use old sim card or new usim from beeline ?
I seem to have similar problem with 4G.
It was announced today that 4G is available with phone network so I tried most things and can't get 4G.
The phone company told me to wait for lollipop and then try again.
I will update manually to lollipop and see what happens
I have new USIM card.
Maybe B20 is disabled manually?
I installed EUR-XX stock rom now i can't enter LTE-Only testing menu. Toast appears saying not supported
Hmm try RAT...do
*#*#4636#*#*
Go to : phone information
Set the prefered network to LTE/WCDMA.
do not use LTE ONLY other wise you wont be able to receive sms and call
I tried RAT selection already, i tried all of the methods described here.
I even tried other cellular network which supports 4G LTE, still nothing
Try deleting LteSettings.apk reboot and report.

Tried nothing changed.
I checked the cellular provider's website they have feature which auto-detects if phone supports their LTE band and website confirmed that this phone supports it (B3 1800MHZ).
Maybe the problem is here i opened the LG hidden menu -> LTE-only -> Modem Settings -> LTE Band selection. all of the bands are unchecked. (Check attachment). If i check them up nothing changes, there's no save button, opening hidden menu again show that they are still unchecked even if i check them

Well.. applying a different rom as you mentioned earlier will not change your baseband. Even thought the phone has the specs to work on your area, it may not work if the applied baseband is not compatible.
Browse for a suitable baseband, flash it and report back.

Sorry what do you mean in baseband a modem? I thought baseband was dependent on OS like JB baseband or KK baseband.
If you've meant the modem so yeah I have flashed a couple of modems but nothing changed at all. I'm gonna go to cellular provider's office on saturday.

Check your phone model under the hood. The Chinese always sent under the guise D801-D800-D803 D802. Sorry for my english, i hope u understand what i say.

The software claims that it's D802
That doesn't mean it is a D802 actually... there's a lot of cases of China's bought phones that aren't what they should be.
https://cdn.recombu.com/mobile/images/phones/1282/1378840179.jpg its should we written on the back of the phone D802 (under the logo)
I have the exact same problem as op. My phone is an HKG real D802 because imei on back of phone match, and i flashed an Open euro D802 kdz over original HKG. That said, i dont need 4G as my career doesn't support it but it's nice to find a solution for this problem.
Hmmm, i think what you need is to flash modem / radio zip...
I'm from Indpnesia. As I have D802 and I reflashed the SEA v. 20B modem/ radio then recheck lte/wcdma using RAT menu it worked...
Fyi SEA =south east asia...

Hi,
Yes confirm no lte before i flash the 10B ESA modem
As for update info,
Previous Rom that I used and work on ESA LTE is :
pardus classic 7.7
FR 1.2
Bruce.
This morning I flased Pardus 3.2 sensation black and no LTE found.
i have tried all reflashing :
Stock Baseband, 20h baseband (both kitkat)
Stock kernel / then dorimanx kernel,
Bootloader,
Modem/radio ESA 10b
update:....
It works...I get LTE again.
I knoq its a long shot why dont you try flashing other modem/radio. (At least same network provider and make sure its GSM / CDMA network)... If u get no signal effect than just revert your current modem/radio file again...
Cheers,
