[Q] Custom Kernel for 2.1 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I have been trying to install the custom kernels on my x10i, I have managed to get the alpha releases as well as up to beta 4 booting correctly. Just a question does beta 5 or 6 work with the 2.1 .504 stock rom cause everytime I try it will get stuck while trying to boot on the linux line (on the kernel bypass screen I presume it is) then just reboot?

Try 49 or 52 baseband.

I have tried baseband .52
I can get beta 4 working but not beta 5 or 6. I just get caught in a bootloop after flashing

[Q] Baseband version

I have installed the custom ROM Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v014 Gingerbread 2.3.3 but I can't get the radio up and running. "Unknown" baseband version is the message, so it seems like have the wrong baseband version. The thread about this ROM states the right baseband version is included in the zip file. I can't find it inspecting the RAR file, so I assumed it is included in the ROM as such and the baseband will be flashed together with the ROM. Is this the case?
I have tried several full wipes and reboots but nothing helps. I ROM starts OK but no signal.
I can answer my own question. I flashed the 52 baseband version and by this the radio was on again. My taking from this is the baseband ROM is not included in the Cyanogen v14 distribution.....
did u flash on 2.0.52? Because that's I think the only x.x.52 Baseband version that exists for x10i... also wanted to use that ROM, but my baseband (2.1.54) is not supported.....
BTW: is there any difference between 2.0.xx and 2.1.xx?
Yes, I used 2.0.52. For a moment I started to think about if there is a 2.1.52, but it looks like SE just have one consecutive series of ROM, and there is just one 52 version 2.0.52.
The baseband used to be included in the .zip but J didn't include it for the last version or two. I guess he still hasn't changed the OP to tell people to get the baseband from a different thread in the dev section.
ab Ok... would be usefull, to add this, so dumb ppl like me won't try to install it with 2.1.54. XD
Will soon flash on 52 and when cam-issues are fixed, i'll get my first ROM XD

[Q] Trying to Install Cyanogen 7 2.3 OS cant flash to baseband 52?

Hello everyone id like to just thank all the dev teams working on 2.3 OS you are gods.
On to my problem, i am trying to flash Cyanogen 7 2.3 OS onto my phone which is a rooted Xperia X10, running FreeX10 2.2.1 Beta 4. I finally figured out how to flash the baseband that comes along with the Cyanogen 7 package, by making a bundle of it on Flashtool, but when i flash it, it appears im still on baseband 55. Im quite confused and cant find anyone with the same problem or any information on my problem.
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone help?

Multi Boot/Custom ROMs - Advanced users only plz

Hi All,
I searched the forums and though this question has been asked couple of times, I failed to get a satisfying and consolidated answer, so seeking a solution here.
Scenario: X10i, 2.3.3 Stock, rooted using aZuZu. Self-customized framework-res.apk and SemcUxpRes.apk and a truckload of apps. Poor battery life, slightly laggy.
I am equally drawn towards CM7 as well as Wolfbreak 4. I know that both are completely different flavours, but much as I love the Cyanogen innovations, so do i love the tweaks done in WB's ROM with minimal changes to the UI.
Questions:
When I backup my current ROM using xrecovery, what all elements get backed up? More precisely, if I make a backup of my stock ROM using xRecovery, will it backup all the installed apps, conntacts, messages and appdata?
If I restore this backup at a later date, will I be able to get back my phone in the same state as it was backed up? (e.g. I am on level 14 on angrybirds and I made a backup, wiped my phone, and then restored the backup, will I have to start Angrybirds afresh or I can continue from where I left off, as though nothing had happened?)
Is it possible to have multiboot on the X10? So that Everytime I boot up, I can choose whether I want to load the CM7 ROM or the WB4 ROM?
Thanks in advance.
1 yes, the things you mentioned will be backed up (but not the baseband & the kernel)
2 yes, you can play angry birds from where you left off (but as I said you can't backup/restore baseband & kernel)
3 no, not yet. Before official gb there was a solution for dual booting a 2.1 rom with a 2.2/2.3 rom, but I believe dual booting two 2.3 roms is not possible for now

Thanks for that! Just a couple of doubts here:
As you mentioned, the BB and kernel wont be backed up. How exactly will that affect my device? Will it lead to any compatibility issues if I restore to a backed up ROM?
Do I need to keep a note of the Baseband and Kernel versions of all the ROMS which I intend to flash, and flash the corresponding bb & kernel versions prior to recovering a backed-up ROM? To be more clear, supposing I am on bb .71 and kernel 2.6.29, and I flash a new ROM with a different kernel. If I wish to go back to stock by recovering my backup, will I have to flash the bb .71 and 2.6.29 kernel again?
I noticed Woflbreak's ROM uses kernel version 2.3, but I am on a different kernel version (2.6.29). Do I need to downgrade to 2.3 kernel before using the WB ROM? Won't an older version of the kernel cause a drop in performance?
well to sum it up yes you need to keep a note of kernel & baseband for avoiding any compability issue, the kernel part is pretty easy, 2.1 roms all use the same kernel & 2.3 roms another kernel, If you want to go from a 2.1 rom to a 2.3 rom you need to flash the appropriate kernel (& the baseband) with flashtools, but switching from a 2.1 rom to another 2.1 rom or from a 2.3 rom to a 2.3 rom shouldn't be a problem kernel-wise, you just need to pay attention to the required baseband & flash the right one if necessary
what rom are you on?
& by the way 2.3 on Wolfbreak is not the kernel, it's the android version
the bb and kernel are in a 7zip archive linked on the page for wolfs 4.0 along with the newest patch. it explains how to do it all on the page. You must take into consideration when trying a new rom the basebands that it is made for.
Basebands can be found here.
Most newer roms will tell you in the post which baseband you need.
Also see if users post other working baseband versions along with kernel versions. how to use a custom kernel with it and a post explaining custom kernels is here.

you need to update to stock 2.3 you can do with lg updater tool or kdz updater also if if you don't want to update then you can install mik os cm7.1 or A8 and you can install any obb(old baseband) or you can flash old baseband fix patch you can find this patch on p500 forum but make sure 1st install rom then flash patch
any links to those roms you mentioned i've used the search and can't find which to use like do i just copy and paste on sd card then load with clockwork mod manager to reflash the phone and when you say add a patch how do i do that ? sorry if this is too much of a bother for you but how else are we to learn?
i just figured it out thx for all your help
