Hello Everyone,
I am having a weird issue. Just got my device, GPE C6806. Rooted (following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 ), Backed up TA, Unlocked Bootloader. Used the following to get TWRP recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492
Every time I clean flash any ROM, KK or Lollipop, (wiping Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data) i lose Cell Signal/Baseband...? I have to FTF back to Stock to get Cell Signal/Baseband back. Why is that? What am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash anything afterwards to get Signal/Baseband back?
Any help is welcomed at this point. Thanks In Advanced.

I think you may be mixing your firmwares up, as far as I know the GPe cannot be restored with an FTF due to differing partition sizes. If your device has the Xperia logo on the back it is a regular Sony Z Ultra and not the GPe version.

See the warning in red in the thread you linked stating an FTF will brick a GPe? Did you look on the back to see if it says xperia? I am fairly sure you just need to try a rom for a regular z ultra.

There are both GPe and standard Ultra's that are C6806 models. Trust me if you had flashed an FTF to the GPe version you would have a fancy paperweight.

You are fortunate that you didn't have GPe as flashing an FTF would have created a brick that isn't fixable. Glad it is working, but make sure you read the highlighted in red warnings.

My first ZU was a GPe but unlocking the bootloader caused the camera to break upon the next update. The Sony C6806 has all the same bands for lte plus more ROMs and the GPe ports if you wanted them.

I think it is UK, Europe for sure. Unbranded, too.
I actually flashed a C6802 Firmware on my C6833 which took away LTE, but left everything else in tact.
Unfortunately from what I have read the C6802 simply lacks the LTE chip on the SOC so actually there is no way to get LTE.
But feel free to try. If all fails you can still always flash back.

I am battling a different problem at the moment, so cannot try today.
I hope someone has the time to try it out, since from what I understand, C6802 does indeed have same SoC as C6833, which is SD800 MSM8974
There were discussions that 'maybe' the antenna could be different, but my gut feeling says it is the same.

Unbranded does not mean no bloatware. It just means, that it is not a carrier branded version like vodafone or t-mobile, o2 or whatever with their special software installed.
What you want is a vanilla android version for the Xperia Z ultra.
Look in the development forums. Maybe someone is working on this.
With root access you can also delete unwanted apps, though in the newer android versions, you can also disable unwanted apps what essentially freezes them.
lol i don't mean bloatware in that way i am fine with sonys UI its just o2 version has o2 bootup and loadsa of o2 software pre installed and i would like to flash it to the international unbranded carrier free
if this what i am looking for?

I'm stuck on the current 532 Chinese version and it's not letting me upgrade or downgrade.
Been over 6 hours flashing and flashing and I'm having problems with the HK/Asian versions of the stock rom.
Since downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2 my sim no longer works regardless. I'm not getting any signal regardless of what I do.
I bought my Xperia Z Ultra from UAE and would preferably want to use a UAE/Middle Eastern Rom.
Previously I had the FTF file for the Middle East and it worked wonders for me. Unfortunately I've removed and can no longer find it.
Should anyone be kind enough to upload the FTF file or even guide me to a working link I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, it looks like you've lost your IMEI, and that's why you're not getting a signal. This happens when you downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2. I have no idea why it happens, but it does, so follow this guide to restore your IMEI.
the problem may appear in some models. I downgraded mine from 4.3 to 4.2 without such problem.
p.s you can flash any firmware to your phone, no need to be in UAE. I live in Vietnam and I flashed European 4.3 on mine.

True, however, I had issues with the HK edition of the rom. It had some corruption or file missing since it would't allow me to properly root and when trying to boot in CWM it would't work.

Correct, my imei was 000000000000000. I will refer to the link you provided. Thanks.
I've successfully UPGRADED to 532 Middle East version. :laugh:
Thanks to everyone for their support and response.
Unfortunately I'm not that technical with regards to flashing and such and usually I spend hours if not a whole day trying to solve a simple issue.
Usually when attempting downgrading, flashing and changing roms and using custom firmware I get stuck half way through.
This ends up with a half working phone, boot loops, etc...
This happened when trying to get the 290 firmware, rooted with root. The part with regards to using a dual recovery was not too clear and this resulted in a bricked device.
I'm now back to stock 532, rooted & happy. To be honest, I didn't see any big differences with 532 and 290.
I cannot live without root. My bootloader is locked and unlocking it is a pain in the ass, lol.
I will patiently wait for the proper update of Android 4.4 Kitkat until I decide on upgrading.
I can only hope there is an easy rooting method of 4.4 when it's released. I don't plan on backing up data, reinstalling everything again, etc...
Let's hope when 4.4 Kitkat is released there is an easy rooting method which doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. :laugh:
They are both about the same price, so which is the more desirable/better version ?
Lets throw in a poll while we're at it..............
This article basically says that text, icon, and font size (which are very important factors to me) are larger on the Google Play edition, but the Sony version has better software optimization for this device.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/20/5229978/sony-xperia-z-ultra-z-ultra-google-play-edition-review
Which one runs graphics intensive games more smoothly ?
Tough call - totally depends on your personal preference. I'd go with the Sony version as it's almost as clean as the stock android and I actually like their walkman, album app (& album widget) better than the stock versions.
Sony version. You can flash the GPe ROM on the Sony version, but you can't flash a Sony ROM on the GPe version (yet).The stock Sony ROM is very good.

Go for the Sony one. Like LordManhattan said, you can use GPE on it if you wish. And trust me, Sony's optimisations on stock rom, are better.

Sony sell both the c6806 and c6833 LTE versions, the GPe only comes in the c6806 flavour
The GPe will get the update to 4.4.3 well before Sony release it for their own phones, but once released for the GPe it should only be a day or two before it's ported to the Sony hardware - as long as there isn't too big a change to the kernel.

Hi.
I want to upgrade to the Lollipop builds from my m8. I am currently running the GPe 4.4.2 rom, and was wondering which firmware I should flash. Im looking at the sense 4.4.4 firmware and I was just wondering if I can flash any sense 4.4.4 firmware or will I have to get a specific one for the AT&T m8. Thanks in advance!
If your running GPE than your unlocked,CWM/TWRP,rooted so that's good.how about S-OFF?
As far as upgrades it all depends on how fast you want it.
at&t being on the low end of the list for receiving OTA's
Fully converting to GPE would ensure a faster update but will lack the Sense version lollipop look and feel.
Read around and become more familiar with what options you have
I already am s-off and know what the Gpe conversion does and how I will loose sense. But I was wondering on my main thread which file of the sense 4.4.4 firmware I should flash.
But thanks anyways

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out how to back pedal to sense partition. There are a few different threads telling different things to do. From what I can understand to back pedal from gpe to sense. You just download 1.54, factory reset,flash custom recovery,flash ROM..
Is this firmware for the US Dev HTC One m8 or is it the international unlocked? Since the ATT M8 and the US Dev M8 have identical hardware, I just want to make sure I use the proper firmware.

You may have accidentally renamed the file firmware.zip.zip by having the file extensions hidden in Windows (it certainly looks that way from the screenshot of your file folder).
Did you change your cid? Looked at pics command should only be fastboot flash zip firmware.zip not all the other strings in the command.
Looks like its in a folder named adb so you should cd into that folder once there the command above should be entered.

I want to ask if anyone has any experience with unlocking the LG G2 Mini. I have reserched a while and it seems to be there is no way of unlocking it for free. A link to a trustworthy, not too expensive website for unlocking codes would be helpfull!
Btw: just flashing a new custom ROM doesn't unlock the phone.
Thanks
Flash an unbranded stock kdz.
Then, whatever ROM you want.
Your carrier probably added the lock on the bootstack.

Thank you, i 'll try this out. Is there any difference in a kdz build? What componets are integrated in those files?

LG releases its stock ROMs in kdz format, which you can flash with LG Flash Tool.
I believe it contains all the partitions on the phone (though I could be wrong about this).
I flashed the flashable stock rom zip version 20b but still doesn't unlock i can only use one sim

That zip doesn't contain the bootstack.
Only the ROM.

Sorry for being so late with my response. I flashed a kdz-Stock ROM quite a while ago now and it didn't worked out in my case. So the lock seems to be somewhere deeper in the phones software.
My research wasn't very successful because everybody just want to sell a unlockcode not give an solution :/.

Are you sure it's unbranded?
If it has your provider's codename on it, then it's branded.
Flash one with the codename of the country (or general area) you live in.
What is the name of the kdz you flashed?

I flashed 'D620r10g_00.kdz' and D620r20b_00.kdz'
I am pretty sure they are both unbranded. As you probably can read out of the name - one is KK and one is LP.

Try flashing the actual bootstack from the Original Dev section.
If that doesn't work, then the lock is somewhere else.
Maybe in the partition that holds the IMEI. I don't know.
I can't help you much.
Flashed the Kitkat baseband from this thread (D620r):

But unfortunately it didn't helped. This Provider knows how to let his customers pay .
Thanks anyways for your help and patience. Appreciate you!
