Mods feel free to move this thread.
I just wanted to ask and make sure before i got flashing stuff, if i backup my WolfBreak CM and then flash the kernel testing <everything>, then when i get done having a look see at that if i flash bb 54 again and wipe everything then restore all but data of the CM, will the FreeKernel still be trying to load, or will everything be working correctly?
Yes.
Even yesterday I flash new kernel on my mod/rom just to checks few things. After that I went to xrec and just restore my backup and everything was at it should. I don't even wipe anything.

do not flash SE 2.1 .435 u will not get radio (wifi/gsm/wcdma)
instead use these FWs (2.0.2.A.0.24 / 2.0.A.0.504) which can support (u will get radio) baseband 2.0.52
rest everything is fine

Thanks. And just to make sure if i restore my backup of my WB CM(without data, that's TB's job) it should go back to normal kernel and stuff right?
Also, will flashing the DT update from Bin4ry cause any problems? I love me some DT.

DT not from the system it's from the baseband
just flash .504 n then flash bb 52

that's not correct at all....
baseband is the radio of the phone.
dual touch is from the kernel.
Don't answer questions if you don't know what you're talking about

well then that is because you flashed the kernel and the baseband in one shot....
My point still stands, and what you said is very misleading. The dual touch is not included in the baseband

This is true, baseband and kernel are two different things.
But, in the baseband collection thread, there is a ftf bundle for bb .49
that includes the DT kernel.
Thus, the confusion!
I know this, because I flashed it today, for my MIUI!
DoomLord, where are you? I still havent learned whether or not Z's kernel already has DT, or if ill need to install Bin4ry's DT addon(If so, at what point in the process).

Hi guys, It may sound silly but i generally have no clue about it, Is there any other way to update my x10's baseband without connecting to a computer? like via SD card? i only ask as my charger port has failed on my phone.. and am waiting to send that off in the next few weeks to get repaired
Thanks

If you have Xrecovery, you could pre-load your sdcard with whatever zip files you wanted by directly attaching it, sdcard, to your pc.
No, which is why Bin4ry didn't use xRecovery...

The kernel can't be flashed with xRecovery, which as already stated is why you need to use the flash tool.

Use SEUS to get fresh firmware, then flash 2.1.A.0.435 for MT, search for HOWTO.

If you know that, why are you trying to use a incompatible baseband with his ROM?
I find it ironic that people are using that same line over and over suddenly.
They come and ask for help then act like they know what the problem is.
Seriously i am weird ed out.
3 words i am starting to hate "Help, Please, Bootloop"
What version if Trips IRIS do you want to flash.
1.5.0 works well on baseband 67
There are a couple of files you need to patch afterwards or you may get keyboard and/or wifi issues - they are the network library and keyboard layout files. This patch was put up by cobrato but the links to them were in a thread that got deleted.
If you can't find them pm me - I should have them lying around somewhere.

I'm attempting to install the new Zmod Cyanogenmod 7.1 but am encountering problems with xrecovery unable to read the SD/card when installing. Supposidly the new version of xrecovery will fix my issue but when I looked at the thread listed "2.3 STOCK ROM" as a requirement.
Now I cant update to the official 2.3.3 rom as im on O2UK, but I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 (on baseband 0.52) so will I still be ok to update to the new version of xrecovery?
Also just a quick question as its been a while since I installed a new rom, it's baseband first (any .71?). My phone will still be rooted, busybox still installed, etc, as I've done all this before? Then install new .zip via xrecovery?
(I've already read the newbie threads so please don't just point me there, simple yes/no answers will suffice. I'm just a little confused about going from custom install to custom install.)
edit: could this be a problem with going from a 0.52 baseband to a 1.71? This thread talks about 0.54 but could it be something simiar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053221

If you wanna use a lower bb then your best option if you wanna have GB is to go back to an old custom GB rom that works on the older baseband.

It won't be stable unless you switch to a custom rom that supports the chosen baseband.

although this thread is different, the attachment works for you too.
flash it with Xrecovery after installing the rom you want. works for custom roms (genric roms i dont know, maybe).Make sure you only use Xrecovery below 1.0 (dun use 1.0, use 0.3 or 0.2 or 0.1)
it will change the baseband to 46 or 54 nt sure, but it does downgrade. but make sure YOUR ROM IS BASEBAND-DOWNGRADABLE or else your rom will be corrupted. you can also install a new rom AND FLASH IT RIGHT AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM THROUGH xREC.

First, why do people keep posting questions to the dev section?!
Second, use flashtool to revert to stock firmware and start over.
First of all, wrong thread and second, wrong site. Ask in modaco site.
Rom is not using xrevovery03. And in kernel is xrecovery03.
Wondering if you are on baseband 71 and did you flash cm7 kernel by mistake.

Trips Roms are not compatible with custom kernels as he has stated before. you cant flash a custom kernel unless you have an unlocked bootloader (even then i'm not so sure). it stuffs the Recovery. Trips rom doesnt use Xrec 0.3. as a previous post stated you'll have to restore back to official 2.3.3 and re-root reinstall xrec and reinstall rom.

Kernel will work. I tried an it worked. I do not what went wrong.
But use xrecovery03 before you flash kernel. Use flash tool GBready to get xrecovery03. You will reconize it by the logo of Z
woah! Don't start again with flashing 2.3 rom, it's unneccessary! you can manually copy/paste the needed files to the rom with a file manager and set the permissions right. But I would recommend you to unlock your bl, flash dooms stock 2.3.3 kernel for unlocked bl's and then the v04b kernel for locked bl's with recovery.
Why? Simple: using dooms stock 2.3.3 kernel means you can't loose xrecovery again, even if you format system partition and reboot you can enter xercoery again, cause it's included in the kernel. Also you can remove then the xrecovery.tar from your system partition cause it's not needed anymore.
