Hello everyone,
Today I have seen that there is a new Beta update at the Froyo rom.
Now I read "REQUIRES LATEST KERNEL AND BASEBAND 2.1.54 (shipped in stock 2.1.A.0.435 ROM)"
What I have to do now? Any explaination?
Flash, root & xrecovery instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
Then follow Beta4 instructions.
I have found that beta 4 is eating my battery though. 10% per hour. I was using a third of that with Beta 3.
I going back to Beta 3 now.
i dont think we can use the above mentioned link for baseband update, check the reply by the author when someone had problem installing the freex10 beta4 in the same thread on page 2
rendeiro2005 said:
i wrote this so many times and you guys just don`t read, search, etc...
with this new FW you just CAN`T install anything through xRecovery! period.
so...if you want to install something, get rid of this FW install other, install xRecovery and voilá

Im pretty sure that was before the beta 4 came out. I think the correction is farther down...

2.1.54 is the latest baseband which comes with the 2.1.A.0.435 ROM (you even copied that on your first post ). Anyway, try reading this post by KULANV:

The steps he provided is easy to follow. I did mine the long way but that was before anyone posted the shorter way.
try this HOWTO, if you don't wanna mess something up!

Hi guys..
im still on baseband 2.0.46, i saw the new FreeX10 beta4 was fixed to run on .54 or something?
how do you update the baseband when using a custom rom? do you have to revert back to the official rom or can i update using a custom one?
Not 100% sure but i think we have to flash se dualtouch rom, then root and do the whole install thing again unfortunately. Imma do this later unless someone has an easier way.

hmm, okay then, i guess it would kind of make sense..
thanks
Yesterday while a number of people were debating which route to go, I did it the long way. I had spare time early yesterday morning so I decided to give it a try. Made a backup of my beta 3 in xrecovery, flashed to the generic 2.1.54 baseband, rooted it, installed xrecovery then installed beta4 + gapps. Everything is working fine for me but you don't have to go that route. Others have found a shorter way. If you're on Zs 2.2 beta 3 already, try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3904
Credit goes to KULANV for that post. Also if you got time to spare, read pages 380 onwards, quite a few people have tried that and other similar instructions.
Hope that helps.
1. rom install in this process VS Flash ROM 2.1.1.A.0.6 what is best method?
2. in former method, included baseband install process..
U20i 2.1.1.A.0.6 Baseband 015.7z
or
U20i 2.0.2.A.0.24 Baseband 006.7z
What files should I install?
3. non-overclock version occurs lack?
You should get the one with baseband 015 then you can install slade's ROM.

OK, thanks.
no answer to question number 1 & 3?
Oh sorry kinda skipped that hehe.
You have been answered here a couple mins ago so you might want to look at that too.
I'll quote here anyway
riesan said:
1. the best method is the flash method because you get all the updated baseband and kernel.
2. Just flash the rom to the recent one 2.1.1.A.0.6 baseband 015 because new rom that slade develop uses new baseband and FW 2.1.1.A.0.6
3. non overclock version just a standard with standard CPU on 600mhz and undervolted and overclock version is a CPU overclocked to 710mhz or upper via Cynogemod/Performance/CPU settings and also undervolted.
hope this will answer your question

1. I wouldn't know, I got my 2.1.1.A.0.6 update thru SE.
3. By lack you mean lag? If so I haven't encountered anything like that yet, maybe I haven't pushed my phone to the limit but it's been running really smooth for me on non-overclock version.

thanks a lot
but, As shown in this link, I have one more question.
In Question No.1, do you know the difference between former method and latter method?

I've always wondered this too. I'm no developer and also have no idea how it works. But I always wondered why they never developed for the newer basebands. Is it harder or something?
Just out of curiosity.
I really don't understand why still so many people asking in the wrong section....the search function the most powerful tool here...I always find my answers by using it.....

Please don't just request a ROM and a special kernel on a special baseband.
The devs here are GODS and when they develop af kernel that works on a specific baseband I am sure they will release it here
ATM I am on Wolfbreaks Froyo with stock kernel and it work flawlessly.

baseband 49 gives better radio and signal is always strong.
baseband 58 eats alot of battery and doesnt give good stability for custom roms.

i know the Dev here are gods, it is just a question, i search everytime, my questen is just why you use only bb.49 oder .54 but not .58?
The kernels that are being developed are only working on basebands .49 and .52 if it was possible for them to get the kernels working on .54 .55 and .58 it would be big news
I'm sure no one is bothered really as it takes 2 mins Max to flash a new baseband
So no offence buddy but be patient, it may never come at all or maybe when 2.3.3 comes but who cares as long as we can use them in general
And please next time post in Q&A

hi i just bought my phone last week an I've already experienced some lag even though there's not much apps installed. so now i want to try a custom rom. what rom would be the best for first timers thanks..
If you have 2.2 installed (old baseband) than andy's phoenix rom is the best.
Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
If you have 2.3 (new baseband) than you should go for Ginger LOL:

hi, thanks for the reply. baseband is the version of android im currently using right? im using 2.3.3. but the link for ginger lol says page is not found. i'll try to search for it in the forums. thanks.

baseband is not the android version. i wrote up a small thing on baseband here.
here is the link for ginger lol (the link in post two is actually the right link except for the four dots):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685
in my opinion, i would use andy's phoenix rom. follow these instructions:
a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
b) also, since you are currently using official gingerbread (2.3.3), you need to downgrade your baseband version, instructions found here
thanks for the info man. as i've read, most roms will eventually support the new baseband. so i think, im gonna wait a little longer for that. one more thing though. i though when i install rom, the kernel comes along with it, but as i read it seems that i need to flash my kernel too? thanks for your help.
phoenix rom comes with franco's .35 kernel preinstalled
There's no need to install other kernel.
roms using old baseband is never going to support new baseband...
DUDE I prefer, no need to root your stock rom for installing custom rom.
follow http://lg-p500-optimusone.blogspot.com/ if u want this.
note : I didnt try this but this should work

Hello,
I have an SE XPERIA X10i on 2.3.3, BB 2.1.71, Kernel 2.6.29, Build 3.01.G.0.75.
It's the stock ROM which I was able to load onto the phone with the 2.1.71 baseband along with Flashtool.
However, I'm a) getting bored of the stock rom, b) find the battery life not so great, c) believe the performance and responsiveness of screen gestures could be better.
I've been thinking of going to FreeX10 2.3 or CM7 2.3.
Now, I don't have xrecovery on the phone since I wiped it clean and bundle installed stock 2.3.3 with Flashtool. My next steps are:
1) How do I get xRecovery back on the phone since I can't root it as it's 2.3. I've read the documentation for Gingerbreak and it looks complicated.
2) What is the best/easiest way of loading a new ROM onto the phone? I imagine it's just to flash a custom zip thru xRecovery but since that's not on the phone anymore, I need to know how to get it back on there.
I'm sorry for the silly questions - I know this forum doesn't take kindly to the under-Android-educated but I do know a bit so far and I'm just looking for some help so constructive advice would be appreciated in advance I probably could figure out all these things on my own by googling but I don't have as much time as I'd like to devote to these priorities. Thanks for all your help in advance friends!
Here is a guide for all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
U can use flash tools to install xrecovery.
And next time post in Q&A forum.
Sorry for not posting in the correct section... Since the question was related to ROMs I thought that perhaps it best belonged in this section.
So I can install xRecovery even though my device isn't rooted and is on 2.3.3 stock?

Is rooting an 2.3.x firmware possible with flashtool? I thought its not because there is a thread by doomlord for rooting gingerbread

Yes with flashtool 0.4.2 you can.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
I used this tutorial when i was on stock GB and decided to root, but once you do it, its the best thing to do for the phone.
i also recommend unlocking your bootloader
Read the tutorials in the stickies for noobs. Eveything you need to know is in there
Also, read the thread
"Read this before you post"
Then you will know that questions go in the question and answer section...
