X10a configured as X10i Working bands for 3G - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, Could anyone tell me why my phone is configured as x10i bands? as the service menu says:
Working band/s:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900
UMTS_BC1, UMTS_BC4, UMTS_BC8
Well, this happened after flashing my x10a from 2.1.update-1 to 2.3.3, I don't know how to reconfigure the bands but I think is something related to the Trim Area partition because I flashed several generic roms such as:
-x10a (2.1.update-1 - 2.3.3)
-x10i (1.6 - 2.1.update-1 - 2.3.3)
Then the results are the same x10a still configured as x10i's working bands for 3G.

[Q] No 3G Mini X10 Pro (U20i)

Hi all, I'm Martin from Argentina, I write to ask and know if you can help me or guide me to find a solution.
I have a U20i that brought me outside.
When I received the phone had Android 1.6 and upgrade to 2.1.
I do not remember if the previous version had 3G, with almost no use.
My phone provider supports 850 and 1900 MHz bands.
In the configuration, network mode, I can see options:
- WCDMA
- GSM
- GSM / WCDMA (preferred)
When I search for available networks, I see only 2G networks.
Phone Details:
Mobile Network Type: EDGE
Firmware Version: 2.1-Update1
Kernel Version: 02/06/1929
Build Number: 2.1.1.A.0.6
Can you help me get a 3G signal?
PD: Sorry for my English
Thank you very much.
Greetings.
U20i does not support 3G on the 850/1900 bands. No one can help you get 3G signals with that phone.
Than you...
I confirm that I have an U20i

Weird problem with my X10a, can't enable 3G

Hi, My name is Masaki, I'm from Peru, I have a problem with my Xperia X10a, my phone was operator locked (I buy it from my friend, he uses this phone with movistar operator but I have a line with another operator called claro.
My friend say he can unlock the operator lock, for this, he use a program called medusa box, after a few minutes he finally can unlock the phone, but, now, the phone only can connect to edge band, the 3G don't work anymore, somebody can help me?
Masaki
PS:
All work ok in the phone, I tried original rom (android 2.1), updated rom (2.3.3) custom rom... custom kernel, with no result...
when I choose "only WCDMA mode", I lost the singal (phone and data) and a error appear (no operator found), only work when I use "GSM only" or "prefered WCDMA to GSM" (but work in GSM/edge mode only)
the local operator (both) are X10a band compatible
Did you try relocking the phone ?
Maybe a bad unlock procedure.

weird problem
can't lock again with that soft.
You can try this. I found that in some roms it is more easy to change than in others. Miui roms seem to have more settings to change than stock based roms.

Since Claro doesn't use 2100 MHz band you will have Edge only. Or switch to carrier with 2100 band for 3G.

Well, if 850 and 1900 are what is supported in your Country, and both 850 and 1900 are not available in the X10i, it probably would be best for you to sell the X10i and buy an X10a.

Since your OP stated it was an X10i, that would have been the problem with no hspa. I am not sure but perhaps restoring to original 2.3.3 and baseband following the link below exactly might get your hspa working. Good luck.

x10a
My phone is a x10a model from the start, I tried the original rom from local claro (android 1.6 and android 2.1) I tried the SE generic version update (android 2.3.3) custom roms + Kernel: doom kernel 1133 + Xperia S ported to X10 from chickensito (Android 2.3.7)
The problem still remain
I tried to set the apn manually... no result

Tried x10i bands maybe your unlock changed your phone into a x10i what is your baseband I am just speculating

people have helped you and you need to find a new carrier as the one you have dose not support the radio frequencies of the x10a try to trade sell it and buy a x10i or get a carrier that supports the radio of the phone you have.
x10a
My local carrier (both) work with Xperia X10a, X10i don't work here.
try if you can get a band on another carrier preferably does have the the
2100mhz band just to confirm that your radio is working
Sent from my X10i using XDA
Found a solution yet?? I have a similar problem with my X10a.
I'm with Telcel in México, simlocked (i got my cellphone from Telcel), but the radio signal is not working, tried with another sim card and got the same result...
carrier
there is only 2 carrier in my country, and don't work with 2100 freq
No, my problem is not solved. any ideas?
tried reflashing x10a baseband? any errors when forcing 3g mode? e.g can't enable radio etc.... ?

[Q] Is it possible to change the baseband to support 850/1900/2100?

Okay, so this is a long shot but I've got a friend out in Canada and I've sent them my old ST15i. Their provider is Rogers, so GSM works but nothing else does as HSPA requires 850/1900 which won't work with it currently at 900/2100. So I've done a bit of reading and found that theres an ST15a which uses 850/1900/2100 and I'm curious to know if the hardwares the same and the firmwares the only difference? I'm thinking that maybe if the baseband was changed to whatever the ST15a uses then it might work? That or if the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware (Generic Trade US version) was forced onto the ST15i?
This thread (link) at post #16 shows how to spoof the device to an ST15a. Apparently running SUS with the repair option will then install the complete firmware, which is also listed on wotanserver.com.
As I no longer have the device and it'll be hard to explain how to modify it to a friend, could someone please try to upload the ST15a Generic Trade US firmware v4.1.B.0.587. That or if you could tell me which baseband works best in the US and/or Canada then that'd be a huge help.
Heres some images I located online which may help:

My guess is the hardware radio is different, but I'd like to be sure.
Thanks.

i think ur right as u said its hardware related. also this editing build.prop isnt a great thing. u can try it, just change all strings with ''..st15i to ''st15a
and then hope sony pc updater will make it --> bcuz AFAIK there isnt any .587 fw with a build st15a....
so u can only test (or ur friend)
u can go to this tread where mostly all xperia fw are to download http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?tstart=0 AND THERE ISNT ANY ''a'' build for xperia mini :`(....

Yep, that's the problem I'm facing, getting ahold of the firmware for ST15a. It should exist since it's on wotanserver at the bottom of their list.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-mini-st15/4-1-b-0-587/language-download
My hope is that someone here has the phone and can upload the firmware or the baseband they're using from it, but like I've said, the radio is probably different but I can't be sure since it could just be software controlled.

i figured out the problem, after some research: the main problem is not the ROM its the baseband file, bcuz rom is mostly allways same from st15i to st15a... but baseband makes ur phone supporting other 'bands' like u need i found serveral forums also german one for ARC, were both were attached, (baseband files), i asked and they tell me sure its the baseband not ROM! the only thing is the rom files are factory images with rom, kernel, baseband, etc all in 1 file so it must be a ''st15a'' version of this; BUT WHAT U REALLY NEED IS A BASEBAND FROM A AMERICAN USER!! (or simply a baseband st15a which support needed bands!) - id didnt found any baseband ''a'', also u can use st17a basebands on it too, so if i see a US-user i ask him to push it from his phone - that all for now , no idea
sry, hope u find it anywhere!
peace
OK, so if it's only baseband problem AND Xperia Mini and Xperia Mini Pro are nearly identical devices - is it possible to flash baseband from sk17a firmware? It's my question, cause I found Sk17a 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Trade US firmware. So if it will fit also a ST15 - I can upload it.
here it is: Baseband from sk17a

Yes afaik yes bcuz i using .86 baseband for st17i also all report from other baseband threads can confirm this
Yes hopefully the hw support is universal, but what can go wrong? If not he can flash back old baseband....
I was bit confused bcuz some user one one thread says he lives in mexico and still "i" version works?!? May he he also tries to reset apn settings??
Ican test. The baseband but i live in europe so i cant see if it works on american bands but it try and see result..
--------------------------------------------EDIT---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok i tried to flash baseband on flashtool, but i didnt works. also get some strange output:
flashsystem.X10FlashException: ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="IMAGE_ADDRESS_RANGE";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN-block eraseblock mismatch"
simply i think baseband is not compatible in some way
- bcuz other baseband flash works.
- maybe its bcuz iam on 4.2.2 or it really checks device (& st15a HW is really bit diffrent)...:crying:
- but im sure that the problem isnt that it is for sk17a , like said bfore
sry but now i simply dunno..
I looked into it and it's a flashtool saftey feature. It stops you from flashing the wrong ROM data to your phone. It can often be bypassed by using an older version of flashtool, as seen in this thread where flashtool 0.6.7.0 did the trick. You just need to remember to wipe your data, so make sure you have a backup first.
I'd test it myself but as I no longer have the phone I wouldn't want to tell my less tech-savvy friend to do it as then it'll be a nightmare to put right.
I found a list of networks within the baseband and Rogers is there, but I don't know if it's GSM or not.

Thanks to both of you for the info so far
Now I'm a little bit confused. I've flashed baseband from SK17a, everything went fine. But after that I could connect to GSM. Sooooo I did some research - and every site told me (I checked also my phone box - it tells me exactly the same ), that SK17i and SK17a are multi-bands So they work in 850/900/1800/1900/UMTS/HSPA So I'm afraid it's not only the baseband
I checked also for Xperia Mini - it's the same situation
The only differences are propably with FM Radio app - since USA and EU use different frequencies
Anyway - maybe APNs are incorrect. So that's why only gsm works
The info isn't 100% correct.
ST15i:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 900 / 2100
ST15a:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
The ST15i doesn't have access to the HSDPA frequencies found in the ST15a, but as both have the same GSM frequencies then of course that'll work. My friend needs access to the HSDPA frequencies from the ST15a for faster speeds since most networks in Canada don't use 900 / 2100 for the faster speeds.
The hardware could be identical and the baseband may control what frequencies it has access to, or it could be a totally different radio and changing the baseband won't have any effect. So the only way you'd know if changing the basebands worked is if you normally connect via HSDPA. Once you've flashed the SK17a baseband you'd then either fail to connect via HSDPA or you'd notice that it's got worse since it'll only have access to 2100 MHz.
When it comes to the APN info that's already something I preloaded onto the device. And it's due to the info online that I thought HSDPA would work, but they've simply forgot to mention that the HSDPA 850 / 1900 frequencies are for the American version only.
As you've successfully flashed the file I'll get my friend to try it too, but I have my doubts after finding this thread today that says the radio is physically different in the A and I versions.

[Question] SM-G965F/DS Bands Operation

Hello
I currently have a Galaxy S9 + version G965F / DS which has problems with one of my carriers.
I am in Argentina, and with Claro and Personal I have a signal correctly, but with Movistar, I can rarely make it work.
Personal uses bands B2, B4, B5, B7 and B28.
Claro uses bands B2, B4 and B5
Movistar uses bands B2, B4, B5 and B28.
Can somehow corroborate which bands the device supports, and in case you need to enable an additional one, load it manually?
The code of the device is: SM-G965FZKDXSG
Thank you!

You shouldn't have any issue at all with any of the three operators.... I'm using in Argentina the same SM-G965F/DS...
I've use it before with Claro, no issues at all, and I'm currently using it with Movistar, with LTE, VoLTE and VoWifi enabled (Also Movistar in some places uses Band 7 instead of 4 for LTE)
So no matter with mobile operator you use, it'll work with all of them in both modems.
To check which bands the phone supports you can always use GSMArena.com https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9+-8967.php#g965f-ds
I have an S7 Edge Duos, an S8+ Duos, and the S9+ Duos from emirates too (I bought all of them there), so even the firmware allows all capabilites to be used here.
Also, You can't load or unlock manually required bands... that's part of the modem, you should check before buying if the phone's modem support the bands required to be used in the country.
