Morning....
Im currently running 2.2.1 by Trip and i would like to get to x10 free beta 3 - 4
Looking around, it seemes i need to go back to 2.1, then update the baseband , then i can go with x10 b3-4....
Does that sound right?
Nope, u can directly flash the basëband using flash tool by bin4ry
And then flash beta4 using xRecovery
Note: not all ROMs support the new baseband except the latest stock SE & a few custom.
Edit : Use steve.adams.x10 's guide for flashing via flash tool.
Happy flashing
Regards

You can flash beta3 through xrec with your current rom but if you want beta4 you should flash the latest baseband first using flash tool. Search at androxyde and steve adam's thread for guide.

Hey all, i need help installing a custom kernel. I dont quite understand what i need to do. Am running Wolfbreaks CM and under his post, there were instructions to install baseband 52 and patch before installing kernel. I am currently on baseband 54. Do i just flash the kernel or do i still have to install baseband 52 over my mod?

You should flash the correct baseband using flash tool. Then do an xrec backup. Flash the custom kernel you want to use using xrecovery and reboot. You can verify that you are running the custom kernel by going to the about phone section of settings. If you choose to revert to the stock kernel you can restore your previous backup using xrecovery

So flashtool is the only way to flash baseband? And i install the kernel via xrecovery like normal? Thanks.

Thanks but i have another question. by the end of flashing custom kernel, i should be having baseband .52 with custom kernel and running wolfbreak's custom rom. Will there be any incompatibility? Cause i was having baseband probs an hour ago and just reflashed WB's rom. Will there be no problems? Or should i flash yet a new baseband after custom kernel installation? like .58 or .54?
EDIT2: Apparently i was having probs with direct update to v06..had to go with increments from v54 to be on the safe side..trying for the last time today to get that kernel on..
flash baseband with flashtool and custom kernel with xrec its easy bro
I have a quick question about this recovery. Do u flash this over xrecovery with xrecovery?
I know about the .52 baseband it must be on. So some help will be great. I would love to flash the new 2.2 pure cyanogen ROM kxhawkins and try its speed.

no need to reply, i don't know how to remove thread or i would
Your version says 2.2. Are you running a ROM or did u put down 2.2 instead of 2.1 by mistake. SE didnt release 2.2 firmware. Just want the facts right so i can help or others can help.

i recently shifted from Nokia to Android and i rooted my X10i today , did most of the tweaks but the issue is that i am confused between roms and firmwares , whats the main difference ? yeah also lead me to a rom for x10i
p.s: my first post on XDA
Well for roms whats the difference? Well customs roms are made my nice people here on xda and the firmwares from sony if im wrong correct me and a rom i'd suggest you its the best 2.2 stable and fastest rom its called freex10 madr by zdzihu look for it in the developement section and also you might wanna try wolfbreaks one it has more customisation and welcome to xda buddy

you can use Trip rom as well , its very cool
i meanyt to say that if i install any rom will i loose my generic se firmware or data ?
You can always go back to general SE firmware by clicking repair in SEUS.
The data on your sdcard is usually safed when changing between ROMs. But to be sure you can make a backup in xRecovery. Or use an app like Titanium backup or My Backup Root.
Owner of Post,
Do you have the latest version of busybox installed yet and xrecovery yet, because if you don't, I or somebody else can help you. So post again and if you need it and I will post some links for you to use.

Here is flashtool that will help with many things with the x10 like rooting, new se firmwares, installing busybox, ect.

since your phone is already rooted, install busybox with flashtool first then xrecovery with this link.

then pick on of the lovely ROMs with with the correct baseband you have.

Good. Now you can use most if not all 2.2 ROMS. Go the busybox step then.

by the way, it doesn't matter if your phone is X10a or X10i. that just means your phone hardware frequency is different. you can use any custom ROM. I recommend Trip's GB MiUI ;-)
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
u should try wolfbreak's custom rom in the android development section since your baseband is on .54 if not you have to take the trouble to flash your baseband to .49 or 52 for trips rom
Thanks Guys
I have x10 with generic 2.1 (rooted).how can I install the custom kernel on it .....
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
You'll need the flashtool which you can get from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Take your time reading & learning the posts.
You'll also need XRECOVERY which you can install from the flashtool. How to instructions are also on the link above.
Then you'll have to decide which custom ROM to install. Here are 2 examples of custom ROMs which gives you the option to install with STOCK or CUSTOM KERNELS.
If you want to stay on 2.1:

Yes you can flash that through xrec. When you download the file, unzip it to your PC and you'll see an APPS folder, BASEBAND folder and update zip file. Make sure you use BB52 otherwise that rom will not work. If you look in the basband folder, it actually includes the flashtool so all you have to do is flash the included BB then reboot in xrec to flash update.zip.

The zkernel you'll have to use on a different rom that's compatible with it because the CM7 rom that you asked about above contains it's own customer kernel.

1. You'll have to flash black your stock firmware before SE update would work
2. You got bb54 but that rom/custom kernel is for bb67. I got it to work on bb58 so it might work for you. Give it a try but make sure you make a backup before you begin.
