Does installing a higher basebrand such as .58 increase speed in any way. Is it recommended? And can basebrand .58 run anything the basebrands below it can? Sorry I'm somewhat new to this whole thing.
from my understanding, the baseband consist of the radio firmware and hw firmware which is the interface between hardware and software.
So new baseband means more functionality or bug fixed. But should not increase the phone speed.
gotcha. Thank you!

Has anyone put the new Rogers rom on a locked ATT unit?
Any market problems?
Any problems removing Rogers apps?
I THINK want to go to one of the custom roms but I'm only on Baseband 2.0.46
and I don't have Dual Touch installed. But it seems that I'm required to update to the higher bb at least, and though I see a BB update only thread, it's unclear if all basebands are compatible with all SE 2.1 update-1. And then I would still have to update to dual touch prior to installing a custom rom.
Since these are two independent flash requirements, and it seems that I have to update to some rom higher than 504 anyway, so I was wondering if I could just go to the Rogers one.... getting dual touch and a higher baseband right off the bat in an official package in one shot, and check it out prior to deciding to move on.
Different basebands work with different firmwares and kernels. You can mix and match, to some degree (for instance, .55 baseband works with .435 or 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW), but there's really no reason to.
I own an AT&T X10a, and I always use the X10i Global Generic firmwares. All the features without all the crap.
Check out the link in my signature for an optimized version of the .435 firmware (dualtouch, etc). Follow the instructions, there's a file for flashing the new kernel and baseband on there.
Good luck!

But even your firmware says I have to flashtool a higher baseband to get it work prior. (Shouldn't you update your screen shots, you show bb 2.0.46 when you really mean 2.0.54) Though what you've put together is very interesting. Do you still have all the SE apps, too, in the collection of applications? (Just asking, I know they have apk's available.)
I'm just trying to avoid flashing multiple times now*, do a straight 2.1.1.A.0.6 update and flash only once and get higher baseband, dual touch and whatever other tweaks there are which don't require flashing. There's no LAM/NAM generic of this version yet?
*flashtool for me a PITA, because I don't have VISTA/Win7 computers generally available and it works better on that than XP which is problematic due to the SE usb drivers which sometimes freeze it in flash mode. I am getting a decent tax refund, I suppose it's time to upgrade to sandybridge and Win7 (since the first SP is out) before they announce Win8.
Ok so I have the x10i
Baseband is 2.1.54
Build number is 2.1.A.0.435
What do they mean ? and how do these affect roms, ( are roms specific to certain basebands or build numbers?)
and would Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v013 Gingerbread 2.3.3 work on my phone?
Thanks for you help this is a one time question and I plan to understand this stuff once and for all
Basebrand basically just means what type of radio signal I believe. Build number is the firmware that you have. Usually ROMS require a certain type of basebrand, so always look for it before you flash anything. CM 7 wouldn't work on your phone because you are running .54 basebrand and it runs on .52 basebrand. If you do not have the correct basebrand you can have a bootloop in which your phone basically doesnt function at all. If you fairly new to this i suggest you flash a stable ROM such as CM6.1.3 by wolfbreak or Freex10 Rom by Z.(both work with .54 basebrand) CM7 is too unstable for a new user to be testing
Alright thanks!
I will check out those roms
So ROMs can work on any Firmware version? but they are only working for certain basebands?
There's normally a list of requirements on the ROM thread that you want to flash. Should normally work if you have the correct basebrand though. =)
Thanks!
Baseband - it is concerned with the cellular reception , signal strength, data etc. The newer the baseband the better reception.
Each rom works on a specific baseband just like posted above.
Hi All
I Am writing to ask if it is possible to flash the .52 BaseBand on .435 firmware
i have searched for this quite a lot but no answer has presented itself to me.
i really want to try FreeKernal Alpha but it cannot be used with .54 baseband which is what i have (i've tried and it just resulted in the phone rebooting as soon as it had booted up)
any help is much appreciated
thanks
1) I am wondering if I change my firmware to sk17i does that mean it changes the bands my phone operate in?
2) I see that the firmware for other regions are 4.0.2.x.x.x higher firmware, what are the firmware upgrades differences from mine? Is it smoother faster or?
Hello every one, i have problems with CUBOT X10 signal coverage, it is very poor or no signal. i took it to repair center they told that resever is good and its baseband driver problem. so i started to search but cant find any info about mediatec baseband update, so diseted to ask THE PROS. so my question would be.
1. Is it possible to update mtk baseband?
2. can i take baseband from other phone with the same chip?
3. is there any difference in basebend version for different region?
4.If i have moly.wr8.w1315.md.wg.mp.v34.p5 to which version i can update teh modem?
5. can i flash rom from diferent phone with the same cpu ram flashmemory? what else should be the same that i could try to use it on my phone
Thanks i advance
ps sorry for my english
