Where can one get the ftf file for LT28i. g
LT28i not available yet.
you flash the LT28h ftf file on your LT28i, then you will loose the LTE from your phone. And it will show the “LT28h” in about phone section.
Hi everyone, Xperia Ion user here.
I have the LT28i version of the Ion which is the LTE phone.
Can I flash the LT28h ftf using the flashtool? Is it doable or will it be bricked?
Can't find the LT28i ftf anywhere yet. Only the LT28h
It's allowable...if you flash the LT28h ftf file on your LT28i, then you will loose the LTE from your phone. And it will show the "LT28h" in about phone section.
folks pls help me out… when i connect my phone in flash mode it says that Drivers need to be installed for connected device. what to do? i installed xperia s for ics driver… pls help me out pls
Updated and Lost LTE function. I guess I screwed up. Wonder if I can get it back?
Nothing is screwed. The facts is Sony has not rolled out yet Jelly Bean for Xperia Ion LT28i yet which is LTE supported.
JB .211 has been released for LT28h only which is HSPA+ version only, so its natural if you flash the software from LT28h you will loose LTE function.
You can exclude the Baseband on the flashtool and i think that way you can still use LTE.
Dose it support arabic language ?
Ive tried using sony PC companion version 210.165 rev30, and it still said that may phone is updated to the latest firmware 4.0.4?
I have also tried the phones update center ,and the new 4.1 update isn't there either, I'm not sure if the update isn't out in Australia yet or what?
Hey its not available in india.I have checked on pc companion(LT-28h my phone model)
