What is the purpose of flashing 3.195 with flashtools again after that?
When you flash the 3.195 rooted zip(rom) with cwm you are changing the rom, baseband(lte radio) stays intact, you flash stock 3.195 stock kernel with flashtools so it(rom) will function properly (I read that this must be done so there will be no issues)
Don't think you need to flash the 303ftf first. Should be able to go from a stock at&t firmware, root, install cwm and then flash the pre rooted 195 in cwm unless I'm missing something.

Yeh that's exactly what to do for a LT30p. For the LTE you can do what you did or just start with CWM and flashing the rooted rom. Comes out to the same thing anyway just extra steps.

Which rooted ROM do you suggest for the TL? Keep in mind, I've only rooted it thus far and installed CWM
I would start with GregBradley's stock rooted .195. I've tested it out and works great. It's just a prerooted stock rom. Once installed setup your AT&T APN and install supersu or superuser from Google Play. Che k his thread in the development section for details on what to do.

That's one that I looking at. I'm in the process of resurrecting my Atrix and once that's up and running again, would like to focus all my attention on the TL, contribute here, test, etc etc. Thanks again.:good:
Pardon my density, but what is the advantage of flashing an alternate stock rom as described in this thread? I know that getting rid of the AT&T bloatware is a good thing, but that can be accomplished by simply rooting the phone and removing the offending apps by the already discussed methods. I guess that running a non-AT&T stock rom would also remove the AT&T branding built into the original rom, but that's a purely cosmetic thing, no? Are there any other pluses that I'm not aware of?
Built-in tethering then works. Plus you get a more updated OS since branded firmwares are usually far behind unbranded generic ones.

GregBradley's stock rooted .195 rocks. It is a lot cleaner than AT&T stock. It is well worth using this rom and I am not looking back. I have confirmed LTE works without any problem.
Try this one
XperimenT by TIMN8R
He tweaked the build prop already added bravia engine 2 and also added cwm and boot fix zip in the rom so you don't have to separately flash those. And the icing on the cake "you don't have to set apn's he said he found an apn conf. Xml file that has apn's from all over the world and the beauty of that is that it has both the 4G(h+) and the LTE apn's. I'm enjoying it very much

Confirming that my TL is now running XperimenT. Process was simple considering I did a few things differently.
Just one question as I'm working on two devices - the APN settings - it's blank - not a big deal since I could just enter the info however, I tried to reset to default, nothing populated. Once I restore my apps and set up the device to my liking, I'll report back - thanks again!
Maybe
Maybe the few steps you took different maybe prevented it to be auto detected or maybe because of your area, not sure but ill pm you the h+ apn

Probably would want the LTE apn instead if he has AT&T and still has the LTE baseband. If you look in the Xperia ion wiki I have the apn saved there.

Got the LTE apn; dumb rookie mistake, had the "dead" sim in the new phone and it wouldnt populate the apn list. as soon as i realized it, i switched sim's and there it was. enjoying the semi freedom of the TL now!!

I'm aware of that
The option to switch back and forth with h+ is to save battery life when desired. Just giving the heads up when I can.

Pretty sure using an H+ apn doesn't disable the LTE radio.

And you know this man...
Of course the LTE radio isn't disabled isn't that why it's the baseband lol. But by switching to the h+ apn in spotty coverage (since lte is still in its infancy) it prevents the radio from searching for coverage and thus battery drain. Here's an example from another post.

I installed the XperimenT ROM, and I am pretty happy with it so far (if for nothing else than removing the AT&T boot screen, which I don't find very attractive at all).
Since I had already rooted via Bin4ry's method, all I had to do to get it up and running was to install the CWM for locked bootloaders, and then flash the most recent XperimenT ROM from CWM after wiping cache and reset to factory. The baseband selection is automatic, per the notes for that ROM, and LTE seems to be working fine.

15Okay people now that I have been able to create a stock AT&T LT30at ftf file: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByrrmqPijqISREZpSE16bWdKV1E I went ahead with testing if I could flash a generic LT30p firmware on my LT30at EXCLUDING the baseband so I could keep LTE.
I used the LT30p firmware version 7.0.A.3.195 generic and flashed it through flashtools wiping everything but excluding the baseband. By doing this I was able to keep LTE support and have a generic unbranded firmware. I then restored all my apps using the included backup & restore app ( I had manually installed it on the LT30at firmware previously)
Everything went fine but of course I couldn't root using Bin4ry's method with the firmware I used. Also tethering works without issue. I did have to setup the AT&T LTE apn which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27979729&postcount=42
In flashtools just before you start the flash there is a check box on the right that says exclude baseband. Just check that.
