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:

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.

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

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

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3904
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!
I have no problem with using the flashtool, downloading the sin file, etc. But the step that says DO NOT let it boot and immediately go into xrecovery is what worries me. I love trying all the new ROMs, but am still always go back to a custom 2.1 because of the cam/videocam, plus no stereo bluetooth dropouts.
My question is, after I do this to update the baseband and flash 2.2 Beta 4 via xrecovery. Can I go back to my old custom 2.1 with older baseband via xrecovery and then switch back and forth via xrecovery afterward? I just don't feel like flashing the entire firmware, rooting, adding JIT v2, then removing all of the SE apps AGAIN for like the 10th time.
u can install any rom on .435 firmware..
u cant install beta 4 on any lower firmware(.24,etc)..
so update to .435 and stay..
happy flashing

Im not entirely sure thats true because it seemed that those with the newer baseband seemed to be having issues with other roms prior to z's beta 4... can someone confirm?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
its mentioned clearly in z's post about using the latest base band. as for Steve's recommendation of not letting it boot, i guess i must have missed it when i upgraded the base band while on 2.1 customised, but the only worst thing that happened was i didn't got any signal on my phone, everything else worked fine, it didn't mattered coz i was to install free x10 v4. and its a fine job done by z. the ROM is great. add green glow theme on it, and nothing's like it.
about xrecovery backup able to change your base band back with restore, i haven't tried it myself, i guess xrecovery devs will be the best guys to check if you're not sure.

I have a x10a and have xrecovery .03 and the newest superuser from the market but not the paid version. Will that have any effect on xrecovery using that instead of busybox? so far after updating to the 2.1.A.0.435 build i've rooted it with the flashtool and used that to install xrecovery ,clean, and optimize my phone no problem. but i want to make sure it wont have any negative effect before i flash a newer rom onto it. Im pretty new to all this so any other tips such as which is your preferred rom or most stable for current situation.thanks for any help
firmware version- 2.1- update1
baseband-2.1.54

Don't matter at all.
that's not entirely correct, many root apps like titanium backup require busybox to function... I would say to definitely install busybox and superuser so you can adjust permissions, otherwise there are many root programs you can't use
thanks i installed the latest busybox and titanium backup pro. quick question though. since i just backed up everything with TBP would i need to make a backup through xrecovery before flashing? or what? and also what is your opinion on the best new rom to use on a x10 with the 2.1.A.0.435 build? thanks for all replies! =]
yes titanium only backs up apps s that you can put everything back on when you flash a new rom, xrecovery takes an image of how your phone is before you flash a new rom, in case you either have problems and have to go back, or in case you just don't like it.
I think the best rom personally is freex10 beta 4...
Are you already on baseband .54? You can check in settings> about>....
yes my phone settings are on the top post. thanks for the tip! guess i'll give that rom a spin and see how it is. this community is great it saved me from regretting choosing this phone knowing the arc comes out 3 months after i buy this one lol.
The arc isn't much better, it is basically the same phone repackaged...
Save your hard earned dollar for a real upgrade. I did basically the same thing, but I don't regret it one bit. The x10 is an awesome phone, but my next phone will be a bigger step up than the arc, neo or play that's for sure.
Yea I'm thinking the atrix once it's been out on the market for a bit. Successfully installed freex10beta4 no problem. Runs great. Love my X10 now =]. Thanks for everyone's help.

I have installed a new 2.1 Global Generic FW on my X10i.
I have z4Root both the 1.1 version and the newer 1.3 version.
Each time I try to root, it will do it, self reset, but afterwards busybox and Titanium Backup don't work and say it's not rooted.
I tried to use the x10 Flash and it also said it would be rooted after a reboot. But the same thing happens, nothing seems to work and it says the cell isn't rooted.
Any suggestions?
I am on FW 2.1 update 1 with a baseband of 2.0.49 and build number 2.0.2.A.0.24
Look for superoneclick that works perfectly.. Think it's on the dev thread.
Edit.. It's a sticky in the general section.

Cool, that worked out just fine. Didn't realize it was something special about that particular FW.

Rooting guide for TB, you can also do a YouTube search to see the step by step guide yourself, really helped me out.

That is the thread for all the TB roms and radios and kernels. I had das bamf remix on mine when I first rooted, and just last night took the plunge into gingeritis. A word of caution, you must flash the leaked gb radio to run any gb roms besides cm7, the radios have bricked tbs badly in some cases, read the disclaimers and pay attention.

i wanna do the BAMF 2.0-5 ... whats the different between the original and the remix?
so i root first ... and then install the rom ... im assuming the kernel comes with the ROM ....
is that the most stable ROm ... or should i stick with 1.7?
sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure i have everything lined up before i do anything ...
I'm not sure of the differences between the original and the remix, as I have only used 1.7 remix for froyo. The rom you want to download is a gb rom so you need to flash the new leaked MR2 radio which you must do through hboot. Make sure you carefully understand the risks involved with flashing a leaked radio and if you decide to go on then great.
First you download the radio and put it in the root of your SD card, making sure you rename it per thread instructions.
Then you download and flash the gingerbread rom through roms manager. Make sure you do a nandroid backup.
After flashing this roms, the phone will reboot. Pull the battery so that the phone will not reboot into gb with the wrong radio.
Hold the volume down and power keys to go into hboot, flash the radio and your good to go. Don't forget to read the instructions carefully, my instructions are only a summary and are not detailed.
In regards to the kernal, I recommend imoseyon lean kernel for sense. DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT KERNEL for your roms. You don't need to do this, but its nice for overclockibg and undervolting to help with battery life. If you decide to do this read about the speedtweak.sh script carefully.
Or you can just flash a froyo rom without worrying about flashing any radios.

Thanks.
Im gna try this over the weekend and see how it goes.
Appreciate the help
Is the gb Rom stable right now or should I stick with froyo
I need netflix. And to get rid of bogus pre installed apps. And better battery life
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I can't say of all roms how stable they are, but I can say that in the past 24 hours of running Gingeritis, I have had zero issues whatsoever. It also comes with Netflix preinstalled which is also handy. You could go to the alpha build of cyanogen mod 7, which means you don't need to flash a radio, and it will run Netflix its just that you need to look for the apk which is all over the boards.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I put Gingeritis on last night and love having my Netflix back. I tried the latest CM7, and it also runs Netflix, although just a bit jittery. I'm trying the Th3ory ROM's next.
if you guys have used BAMF ( any version 1.7 or above ) and Gingeirits ... can you give me comparisons ...
im leaning towards gingeritis but dont konw yet
thanks "the kid escobar" ... didnt need to read any tutorials ...
updated radio .. running gingeritis ....
appreciate all the help ....
so now that i have the updated radio ... i can install any GB ROM . correct ... dont have to flash the radio again?
also ... how can i backup all my apps and settings now ???
dont want to re install everything all the time
I'm using BAMF 2.0-5 and it's great. Camera sucks but that's the only problem. I think you can flash the froyo camera and it'll fix it.
You don't need to flash a radio every time. It's separate from the ROM. To backup yours apps/data get Titanium Backup. Buy the full version or donate for a full license.
The only time that you would need to switch radios would be if you were switching between froyo and gingerbread. So as long as you have the GB radio you can run any GB ROM. Just as a warning you might want to be careful when it comes to backing up settings or system apps with TiBu or any other backup app. Sometimes it can cause FC issues that you dont want to deal with. But for apps you can use Astro, Titanium Backup (Pro is worth the $), MyBackup Pro and they should all serve the purpose you are looking for. Have fun.
