So does that mean AT&T 8.9 4g lte will get their update?
If so it's great timing. The iPad mini is being released tomorrow.
That means I can sell this piece of 5hit Samsung AT&T delay device and get an apple.
I'm so pissed of all the delays Samsung has been doing to all their devices.
Great!

OTA for Canadian Carriers (Telus/Bell/Rogers)
It was reported today on mobilesyrup.com that the Bell, TELUS and Rogers Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich now available.
We know those ICS ROM's are available as per the OP's links, but some of the comments below that article indicate the Canadian Carriers have started OTA upgrades to ICS!!!
It's about time!

Well i wrote this post because many users are having problem upgrading the HD to Jelly Bean, there are simple steps to having a 100% working JB Phone!!!
1. download the JB firmware from Telstra Full from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/van...A028.0R_LSAVNQJBTELSTRA_P010_A010_CFC.xml.zip or from Firmware thread!
THANKS TO FIRMWARE TEAM!
I like the Telstra one because Orange and SFR have many battery issues.
2. download the modem_signed file of your operator, U can find it on your Firmware file ICS, In this case were gonna use the Telcel Mexico one (is very important to use the correct one, because in each region LTE works in different freq.
Also u have to extract the fsg_signed file too.
Telcel Modem_Signed https://www.box.com/s/dp2aj3v8odeu65yqkr2x
Rogers Modem_Signed https://www.box.com/s/i2qnaauvc0pd3xmn23mg
AGAIN THANKS TO FIRMWARE TEAM!
3. download the .xml edited: https://www.box.com/s/ylydzzjs79ynmj1vbdm3 This file works for everyone, its just an edited file to run the rsd lite without GETVAR error.
4. with the Telstra firm downloaded double click on it and open with WinRar and Replace the .xml, the fsg_signed and modem_signed files.
5. and thats it! u have a fully functional SBF file to start flashing with RSD Lite.
Btw here u can find the latest drivers.... https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Little question ... Telstra don't support LTE ?
I have installed the full Telstra without Rogers modem ... because i am not in lte zone for the moment ... i really prefer the telstra modem version ! More stable in HSPA and better signal/speed for me on The canadian Telus Carrier Than the Original Rogers modem on ics ! just no test in lte ...

YES, Telstra support LTE but LTE have different freqs and sometimes one doesnt work in another country, ex. In Mexico And Canada we have the same freq, but in Brazil and US we cant have LTE working! the modem_signed from Telstra could work in ur country but maybe not, better u replace the file and u gonna have a fully working Firm!

Your half right! before I was getting only HSDPA+. I flashed the Rogers Modem signed AND fsg_signed. Then It all of a sudden started working on 4G (which I now know is actually LTE)
I had to enter MCC and the MNC to have 4G work. I found then on wiki
Just picked up my Xperia Z from Bell - here's a little information on the device, as after searching for a while there doesn't seem to be much out there about this:
Model Number: C6616
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110041-32
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-g6df7905-02328-g70ed36a
Build: 10.1.1.A.1.319
Customization Version: 1275-6311_R2A
Also, rather unfortunately, the bootloader cannot be unlocked (according to the Service info > Configuration page).
Can you tell us if the screen is better? I saw some videos on the Bell website and it did look better. I was gonna go check out the Bell store today but didn't have time lol

Not yet - this is the first Sony device I've owned (used to Samsung devices and the various Nexus'), so I'm a little gun-shy regarding flashing things meant for different models.
Tried rooting it today and, as expected, it failed.
Use DooMLorD to root, I think it should be fine.
Would you be able to backup your rom to FTF file?
Here is the instruction to make ftf file of your rom.

The update made the screen look a lot better but that was with 253 version already and 4.2.2 made it even somewhat better again and camera too.

Tried Doomlord's without luck, but I didn't use the new method to flash the other kernel (was fairly unsure if I would soft-brick it). I'll follow that guide and post the resulting file, though.

I flashed its baseband but it didn't work unfortunately.
This Rom only has band 4 LTE also even though Bell says it has AWS and 700.
It couldn't pick up t-mo LTE too.

For any other Bell users who are new to Xperia devices and unsure of flashing, I successfully flashed this 4.2.2 stock firmware using Flashtool (left FOTA, BASEBAND, and UNKNOWN unchecked). I had to add the Bell APN settings, but everything works!
Additionally, I rooted using this guide, but when I got to step 11, I reflashed the kernel from the first firmware image I linked instead.
So if I get this one, unlock it and flash standard firmware, can it be used with Rogers and its LTE?

Rogers and Bell both use the same LTE bands, so it should be good with the network unlock. Switching firmware is really only required for rooting/getting 4.2.2 at this time.

So bell's firmware is standard or it's a custom one with bell's apps per-intalled (aka you have to wait for them to release a new version 2-3 weeks after everyone else gets it)?
Bell's firmware has their apps, and is subject to their release schedule, but will work with other carriers - it's just the network lock that prevents you from using another carrier. However, if you're looking to root, or don't want the extra Bell branding in your face, switching firmware is a valid option.

Never used the 6606, or any of the other models. From the looks of things, though, it's a difference in basebands and supported frequencies.
laslow, I flashed baseband off the ftf file you posted, there is only band 4 LTE, not 700 (band 17) as stated on Bell website.

I too would like to try this. I asked about flashing a note 2 ATT modem but I was told that it would more than likely soft brick my phone or worst case hard brick the phone. I've read plenty of other threads where people are flashing different carriers modems on multiple devices, mostly the S3 though and some on the note 1. On the Note 1 I remember a lot of people flashing the T-Mobile Blaze modem on the ATT phone.

The MJ6 update has some Universal CSC changes. I would suggest clean flashing, but make a backup and dirty flash and let us know what you get. Give the phone 15 to 30 as a habit, to make sure there are no issues. I've found out that the phone can seem like it's working then after 15 min or so will start crashing or bootlooping. .
As for ATT Ril, i'll help Miscom look for that.

Hi
Im currently using an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 GT i9305 LTE and the 4G LTE works fine in France with Orange mobile but Im currently using it here in the USA but I do not get the 4G LTE I only get the Egde on Tmobile network which is the slowest one. The frequency bands on this phone are different than the bands of Tmobile USA. The hardware is tuned to European LTE bands I believe. If i go with aftermarket roms would I be able to get LTE on USA Tmobile netowrk and which roms should I use?
Thanks in advance
Wich version OS you have:4.3 or 4.4.4?
---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
The latest version 4.4.4 supports service mode and you can choose which frequency you need in USA and force it from service mode.
Here is a mini tutorial:We mark Dial keypad: * # 0011 #,
from phone menu choose:Back-enter
from phone menu choose KeyInput:Q-enter
from phone menu choose Key input:0000-enter
After 10-15 sec.we enter in Main Menu:
Then follow:1.UMTS
1.Debug Screen
8.Phone Control
7.Network Control
2.Band Seleccion
There you must choose the frequency you need and force it.
Here you have a video that is going to help:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMGb8C1ITiw&
