[Q] Change baseband?? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Some1 know if it's possible to change the Baseband in xrecovery mode or installing something(apk)?
I want to install 2.2beta4 but I can't because my phone is not recognized by the PC, He only charges the battery
And although he can enter on the flash mode but isn't recognized.
So i cant updated pro SEUS or PC Comp. =(

NO, as stated in the other thread on the same page asking the same thing.

If u can't update with SEUS, u need to use flashtool for X10, just download the genetic ROM and install it, it's easy, no big deal.
I hope u can do it, cya

You can flash the ROM via xRecovery to get the latest baseband & kernel.
Is in general section, make a little search.

I could install via flash, the problem is that my phone is not recognized by the PC, that includes the flash mode
basically the only thing I can do is use the xrecovery, and acess the SD card.
so I stuck to the baseband version of .49.
anyway I think I found the post about it. Tehouster Thanks!

I found the post but need to install the .sin files by FlashTool anyway = (

You can use xRecovery for the FW, but the kernal needs to be flashed with the flashtool.

this is the post I had seen,
Although I can install the 435.zip with xrecovery
but not to install the 435_FT.zip because this is installed via Flashtool...
By the way, installing only the 432.zip, the baseband becames Unknown and will not recognize SIMCARD

Well, do u got installed PC companion? If not just install it, and the driver will be installed too, the just open flash tool, select the files u want flash, click on flash button and connect your device in flash mode and this time your system will recognize the device !!
happy flashing.

Cannot access Xrecovery since SEUS update to build .435

I have found *similar* threads but not exactly this : Prior to updating to .435 through SEUS, I was able to use Xrecovery 0.2 to backup my system image. I just tried to backup a new updated image, and I cannot access xrecovery. I know the procedure is to hit the back button repeatedly at the white SE logo, and that worked prior to the update, but now it just continues to boot up the phone into normal mode. I tried to reinstall xrecovery with the Xrecovery APK already i the app drawer, but no dice. The backup files I already created are still in /sd/xrecovery/backup. I saw them through root explorer. If this question has already been asked, I am sorry. I did do a search
I am rooted with SuperoneClick. Titanium Backup, Busybox & Superuser all verified working.
Thanks all!
Try the newest xrecovery.

I tried installing 0.3, got the msg "install failed". Think I need to delete v 0.2? I was afraid to do that as I assumed it would take my old backup (pre-.435) with it.
Thanks for the reply.
same here, root explorer is set on RW, titanium is working, busybox installed, but i get the red signs when i try to install xrecovery 0.3
+1
At last I managed to install xrecovery v3 manually instead of automatically. I hope this help.

I flashed custom ROM to get 2.1.A.0.435 update and xRecovery is installed(.3) so I recommend that.
I tried both the manual file copy way and the auto install from the APK. identical result from both.. no xrecovery on reboot. I did get a suggestion to try to actually flash xrecovery using the new flashtool .026, which includes an option to install busybox/xrecovery. I will try that as soon as soon my phone charges back up and post the result.
Thanks everyone!
use THIS tool.
if any doubt/questions HERE
I used the newest flashtool, it said xrecovery installed, but I can never get into xrecovery menu

Update : reinstalled xrecovery .03 files manually= WORKED!!
Thanks for all the help, tips & advice!!! Got it going. Manual file copy works w build .435! Just need to copy the files from Android/data/ directory on your SD card into system/bin with root explorer on your phone . I had tried repeatedly copying the 3 files from the /res/raw folder from my pc to the phone but it never worked.
Thanks again all.

guys at the moment baseband CANNOT BE FLASHED VIA xRECOVERY... u have to use flashtool for it...
only roms/themes can be flashed via xrecovery...
also after flashing baseband u do not need to wipe anything IF you will be using the SAME rom... in case u want to use a DIFFERENT rom only then wipe data/cahe/dalvik...
i am using falsh tool again but this time it stucks on PREPARING FILES FOR FLASHING i am trying to flash the latest ,any help would be nice..
How are you flashing. The baseband should have .ftf extension. Put that ftf file in the firmware folder of your flash tool and then flash and connect ur phone in flashing mode.

[Q] Flashing Custom ROMs

I want to know if there is any other way to flash a cusom ROM, like Froyo or Gingerbread without using xRecovery, because I can't boot into recovery.
Tried to install xRecovery using the app, but it doesn't let me install it. Tried the manual way, I've put the 3 files in System/Bin and it still does not boot into recovery.
I have a 1.6 firmware and I can't install official 2.1 because it gives me an error when I try to install it via PC Companion and when I try to flash a firmware using FlashTool, my phone won't boot. The only firmware I can flash is from ROOT_F3V3 so that my phone can boot.
I have no Repair button in SEUS, it just sais that there is no software update for my phone and the only choice I have is Finish. This happens for no matter what firmware I install.
Can you help me please?

Installed xrecovery using flashtool and I even gave the command to boot recovery from flashtool but it won't. It boots normaly
I've flashed: X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897; X10a_1.0_2_1_A_0_435; X10i_2.0.A.0.504_Generic; nordic flasher for R2BA026, and I think I tried some other, but I don't remember.

Everything installed, I have read all the important posts regarding the usage of xRecovery. That is why I'm asking for another way to flash custom ROM's, because I tried everything from the forum posts, everything that would normaly work, and I get zero results
You don't have to put those 3 files in system/bin.Just find system/bin with your Root Explore,check on all 9 permissions of this folder and then go to the XR app and install it.If you still can't boot into XR after installation,maybe you should try Xrecovery 0.0.1.version.It always works for those people who can't boot into XR just like you.Good luck.Sorry for my bad English.
Hmmm...sorry i couldnt be more help...the only thing i could possibly think of is flashing a new basebrand AND firmware at once...hopefully you get this issue resolved later. Best of luck

No way to change kernel except flashtool or repair with SEUS/PC companion. If SEUS/pcc says your software is up to date, click install anyway.

You can go to stock ics with cwm but it will get stuck in bootlogo. Cause u don't have a stock ics kernel.(fxp is not a stock kernel)
U must flash a stock kernel 1st.

Bro that means fastboot & flashtool drivers are not installed or not installed correctly..
Do this go to C:/ Flashtool /drivers/drivers.exe and install this exe file
Warning pop ups will be given by window but you will choose "install drivers anyways "
Reboot Desktop and phone then try connecting in fastboot or flashtool

can you tell me where droid explorer is located i cant find it with root uninstaller. It will be an honour if i fix this problem.:crying:
Its not in your phone, its a windows application for managing an android phone.
My point was to see if you have any drivers conflict...
When you plug the phone to your PC, what does it show in "my computer"?? When i had the problem.. in mu computer my device showed as two devices with different names.
all fixed
thnx guys the prblem is fixed all i done was enter fastboot and sony adb drivers installed thnx for your help guys. i have removed cm9 now hooray!
