Hello.
I am really hoping someone can clear up for me what the different basebands mean to the OS/apps running on my X10. From what little I know they are regional but I don't understand the benefits/hazards of changing them.
I live in Ontario, Canada and my phone was an X10a. I've since flashed different ROM's and am currently running 2.2.1, X10i with 2.0.46 bb.
I understand that the BB version can affect certain ROM's getting stuck in reboots, and even possibly some communication issues, but can they affect things like the camera's performance? general performance of the phone? text messaging?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding the baseband is kind of like a communication interface between the android os and the hardware. so if you have a rom thats made for a different baseband than you're running will cause errors.
the BB is the radio of your phone
if you didn't have a radio you wouldn't have wifi or a network signal
I'm currently using BB 52 which alot of the devs use
try a couple and see how your battery and other things respond
make sure the bb is compatible with the rom or patch the rom
Hi I am having the same type of issues. I have an X10a and I have tried a couple of different Roms with different basebands. It still comes up with the no signal and shows my phone as an X10i. Wondering if these Roms work well with X10a I did an upgrade a while back to rom 2.1 it shows by baseband of 49. but nothing seems to jive with it. Anyone have success on ATT US with X10a?
It does not matter if your phone says X10a or X10i. The different basebands shouldnt make any difference for most people the only difference is what ROMs work with it. I am in US on AT&T using .58 BB, Wolfs ROM and my phone says X10i. I have had no problems or noticed any differences using any of the basebands for the past 5 months.
If you get no service after flashing a ROM see if the app dev tools is there and open it then go bad behavior>crash system server, then let your phone reboot and you should have service. If that doesnt make a difference make sure your APN settings are set up.

I am hoping to get a discussion about the xperia x10 for users in the U.S. I am using wolf's TW 007.1 with custom kernal on baseband 52. I am wondering what others are using in the U.S.? Which rom, baseband is working well for you?
I use WB's CM6 rom too, but I use baseband 54, which in my opinion is the best for X10a in USA. I tried using the new AT&T baseband 2.1.65 on WB's and had text message problems, and 2.1.65 limited data to 3G on AT&T 2.1 update.
I'm using .52 with the custom kernel on WB's TW007. No issues thus far for me. I've also tried it on .54 and can't see any discernible difference.

I've tried both as well and I feel the same....it's just good to know I'm not missing out on anything. Thanks.
I'm using BB 67 and it works great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but basebands deal with a radio signal, which is why some are better for certain regions. I started with wb's rom with 55 and then 54, both gave me good reception and there would be a lot of switching between 3g and H. Since I've moved to baseband 52 I still get good reception but only the H, which I'm not complaining about at all, I'm just trying to understand why. Thanks.
I'm running stock 2.1 generic with BB 54, rooted and junk removed. Everything works fine. The reason I do not use any custom ROMS is because there is always something that is not working properly or only partially working.

The only issue I have with WB's rom is that there is no zoom or led for the camera but that is almost a non-issue for me.
67 worked great for me, signal and battery wise. running 54 right now on ew's rom
So, Batman, you're not the only one encountering this! I thought it was just me. Primary problem for me is flaky WiFi, but the last ROM I tried had an issue with texting, although it may have been because I was using AT&T BB of 65 instead of SE's BB of 54. I've pretty much given up on custom ROMs until GB comes in August and we'll see how that goes (running stock 2.1 rooted and de-branded with BB 54).

Yep. It has been common knowledge on here for a while that custom ROMS are always missing something. So you would have to pick which ROM has what features missing that you can live without before installing it.

I guess I just like to mess around with my phone. Also most developers tell you what is missing for each rom so it is pretty easy to pick and choose.
I am using the same (CM 6.1.3 with Wolf's TW 7.1 with custom kernel and .52BB) and have not seen any problems with wifi or data connection or voice calls. No issues with camera but some time video recording lags (though its manageable)...
I have flashed my x10a,but it still at times lags for quite a while,and mysteriously powers off. I see that the new at&t update carries the baseband of 2.1.60. Will this possibly help with the problems that I am having right now? Downloaded 2.1.0435 from xda,which is generic 2.1. I love my phone regardless,I just want to solve some of these niggling problems.
Thank you devs,for all your help in the past and present. I'm new to this,and the tech talk at times goes WAY over my head. But,with the help from you and YouTube,I flashed my mobile three months ago and glad that I did.
Now,all I am looking forward for at&t to roll out the Arc,which I am DYING FOR!!

How many times are you going to post about baseband 2.1.60 advertised on SE website that has been proven to be wrong or outdated. First, SE doesn't talk about baseband numbers regarding updates, they use firmware numbers, because the baseband is included in the firmware. The AT&T X10a update is firmware 2.1.A.0.492, which comes with baseband 2.1.65.
2.1.60 would be going backwards in numbers. By using the ATT branded update you are using 2.1.65 which limits data from H to 3G, and has known text message problems.
We are all using X10a 2.1.A.0.435 global generic firmware which comes with baseband 2.1.54 on xda, and we don't have any glitches. Be more specific.

I have told him 5 different times in 5 different threads that baseband 2.1.60 doesn't exist, but because he saw a screen shot with baseband 2.1.60 he thinks it is real.
He has waited weeks to update via SEUS or PC Companion, because he wants confirmation of baseband 2.1.60.
Please tell him to update himself and see himself. Please.

Thank you for confirming, leo.
@Frothe, you are making things too complicated. If you are having a problem different from everyone else, then it is something you did not the firmware....

no problem i didnt realise you had let him know in 5 other threads or i would have posted what i did in my last post
Woah! I'm just going by what I saw posted somewhere online! I have a few issues with my phone and thought maybe someone on here could guide me. Yes, I am new to this! Don't attack me for not knowing the proper information, etc., since I am NOT a tech wiz. That is why I come on here for tech support, info on how to make my mobile work for ME! I know there are some software issues that I need to advice on, since the phone randomly powers off, poor response, etc.

@JBM;I DO have glitches, and I downloaded the flashtool From xda. I posted my glitches in a previous post on this thread. What I may not have been SPECIFIC is that I used SEUS to get the mobile to work, which it does. But it has so many issues, and have read several different threads on here, that I need HELP for MY concerns.

It could be a third party app like a task killer set up too aggressive, among others.

I have not noticed anyone mention this before, but anyone on the Telus Network who flashed CM ROM on their phone know that your network reports as "302220" and not "Telus"
I have a bunch of modems I'm flashing to test out the speed I get on mobile data, wifi, and signal. Over the past I've flashed maybe 15 different modems. I was suprised just now when I flashed "I9000BVJV2" and the network now says "Telus" and not "302220"
I've never really cared about it, but I've tried various things with files in the phone trying to make it say telus, for sole sake to see if I could make it say Telus. Atleast I now know that it's really no phone settings that I can change.
-Maniac
Edit: Seems to have fixed the whole 302220 issue all together, all modems I flash now show as Telus.
How well is the JV2 modem working for you?
wasn't that great... what Im doing is take a few modems.. throw em on my phone.. flash and use it for a few days and narrow it down to the better one.
I usually start with doing some speedtest.net tests... the best ones I've found were the Telus JL3, 450K down/400K up... LKG2, 250K down/260K up. LKG2 is the stock that came with the GB update.
Right now I'm settled on Testing out the JVS, KC1, KG3.... both the KC1, KG3 give me 550+K down/500+ up on the speedtests. It was nice constant too.
can you please post back whichradios give you the best battery life? at sfu or a place with a large roof, I get large amounts of battery drain from time without a signal. currently on cm converted i9000 from fascinate with xxjvk
KC1 has been the best for me, not much better then the others or the stock gb modem from telus... but it is better.
Hi, I'm looking for the faster and good looking roms for koodo mobile (not telus, its screw signal)
I've Cyanogenmod 7 v10 with a custom koodo baseband (to work on the 5830D )but it's look like its still screwing my signal (random disconnect, its work half the time, the others half I need to go choose telus provider again and again (even if i'm on koodo)
I think its about the koodo CSC not in the rom and i dont think i can add them manually
If you have advices or roms, or how to manually add CSC, please help me i'm desesperate, I dont want to run an old mod from 1 years ago because theyre is almost no development for customs koodo roms
Errr... You already posted this and it got closed. Stop asking. You won't get an answer.

No best ROM, but...
First things first, there is no "best ROM". That's a matter of opinion. That said, I was really happy with APOCALYPSE, and right now I'm trying out DROID ACE V2.
I've tried several ROMS, and most I didn't like right away. But Itasoulas did some phenomenal work with MIRACLE and APOCALYPSE. Hopefully I'm just as happy with DROID ACE V2 (I just installed it, so it's too early to say, but I didn't want to uninstall it right away, at least).
Hope this helps.
actually, i dont want the BEST roms, I know its depend on everyone, I'm looking for roms that work with KOODO, or customs made for it (its a samsung 5830 D )
in case you didnt noticed, I removed every ''best'' in my text, so i'm just looking for something that work on koodo
i've tryed a fews and everytime I get signal problems (even if I load the baseband with ODIN)
you can resume what i'm asking by : is there ANY RECENT ROMS that work on KOODO? (GT-5830D and baseband DTLKI4) specific for Koodo
Kevenlekiller was doing some works but its not upgraded anymore (since one year)
I dont want to be a pain in the a** but I have this phone, half bricked because I cant use any roms...
either I use an old roms, use it working half time or I bring it back to stock
At least, do anyone know how to upgrade or install new CSC to the phone ? (its maybe my problems, phone only show telus, rogers and bell number)
I have this phone from Koodo. Stock is the best, flash via odin. I currently use S5830XWKTQ_S5830OXXKT4_S5830XWKT8_HOME.tar.md5 (2.3.6) with the koodo Modem_S5830DTLKI4.tar. No problems with cell signal, GPS, 3G/HSDPA, plus the battery life is great and apps like netflix work great...and games run much better than Koodo's 2.3.4. Make sure you do a factory reset data from the settings menu after flashing.
I'm using this phone with Koodo, and all the roms I mentioned in earlier post work fine.

I bought a sgs2 about an year ago and since the very first day I had problems with receiving calls and even making them.
If I'm sitting at one place everything's good but as soon as I move something goes very wrong and the call drops.well if I'm moving I'll be glad to even get or make a call although the signal in the notification shows full.
Now on the stock ROM,the signal strength is about -61dbm 19-20asu but on any other ROMs that I've tried it never goes beyond -89dbm 11-12 asu.
Next I read a lot about flashing different modems that might solve the problem but no.its like nothing seems to work.(BTW I tried a lot of modems for my country and others as well and used getril also to match the ril's as I read about that in forums.)
While trying go flash a modem i lost my imei and baseband.
Luckily I had a backup of the stock ROM and when I restored my phone at least I got the imei and baseband but whenever I reboot my phone for something,the problem's back.
Im on stock ics 4.0.3 with siyah kernel v4.1.5.
I'd be really very greatful if one of you millions of geniuses could help me.
If you need any further details in finding a solution I would provide it ASA I see what it is that you might want to know.
Thank you in advance.
