I could not find for what are baseband patches for ?
Thanx
It is basically done so that you don't have to keep changing basebands whenever you flash different ROMs which work on different basebands than which you currently are on.
If, for example, you are on baseband 54/55/58 and the ROM you wish to apply works only on baseband 52, you can flash the ROM and then apply the baseband patch to make the ROM work perfectly for you. Likewise, if you are on baseband 49/52 and the ROM you wish to flash works only on basebands 54 and above, you can flash the ROM and then the baseband patch.
how can I apply the baseband patch?
You first flash the ROM, then in xRecovery, flash the baseband patch.

I've seen many roms uploaded here but do not know if they would work on my X10.
I have rooted it. Busybox and Xrecovery installed..
Firmware version : 2.1 update 1
baseband version : 2.0.46
Kernal version : 2.6.29
Build number : 2.0.A.504
I'm new to all of this so any help would be appreciated
I wanted to install this.. would it work on mine?

I think that ROM requires the 2.0.2.A.0.24 build number. You can flash the build firmware using flashtool. And then you can install this ROM with xRecovery I believe.
I've heard you can lose your 3g conenction, is this true? I'm on o2 in the UK.. does this matter?
You can lose your signals if you don't flash the correct baseband I believe.
ALWAYS make a backup of your original ROM before installing a new one, so that if any problem occurs or if youre unsatisfied with the ROM, you can revert back to the old one.
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.
To all the developers and members of XDA,
I bought an X10mini and found out that the firmware version is 2.1.1.A.0.16 , can i flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM ? the baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 but the firmware is not 2.1.1.A.0.6..
I tried to to reinstall the ROM using PC companion and the version that i get is still 0.16 and not 0.6 .
I wonder if anyone here have the version same as mine and can i flash it to custom ROM ? i search throughout the treads and did not found any 2.1.1.A.0.16 available, is this the latest version or because the version is differ because of countries?
Any helps will be well-appreciated, thanks !
This is because you have the 2011 X10 Mini. Everything should work normally.
You have a previous FW, if you want to flash without fear, flash to the new FW and them flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM.
You can use WotanClient, sign in the site of the program, it is free, and very easy flash with this program, and you can downgrade or upgrade your phone.
ok, Thank you for the information !
the important things are baseband and kernel, because when you upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3 the stock firmware will be replaced.
but before flashing with any rom kindly make a backup
Okay, I have baseband "V07u Mar-23-2009" But people keep talking about "v10" and "v20" so I have no idea what baseband I'm on, I've previously flashed sonygenmod and CM7 from Mik_OS on here with no issues...
So, am I on the new or old baseband... if I'm on the old, should I upgrade to the new one?
you are on old baseband v10, if you want to use official gingerbread 2.3.3 or lupohirps ics etc then flash new baseband.
(baseband will be mentioned in rom thread)

what wud the "baseband version" be displayed in settings once we flash new baseband??
as with old BB it displays--->V07u Mar-23-2009
with new BB-------> ???
No matter if you are on new or old baseband, that field will always display the same text.
If your last stock ROM was a Froyo one (v10x), then you're on old baseband. If your last stock ROM was a Gingerbread one (v20x), then you're on new baseband. That simple.
But, since you were running the mik_os port just fine, then for sure you're on old baseband.
Hi everyone,
Recently, I flashed the stock .587 firmware and made some tweaks in build.prop.
And data is not working now.
(even without tweaks data wasnt working)
Never faced this problem before (except for some custom roms)
I'm on baseband .77 and before flash stock ROM I was on .72
Started to think that baseband .77 IS NOT avaliable in Brazil.
Is this true? Do I need to flash .72 again?
The device is ST15
Already searched but didnt found anything about it.
Thank you...
try to flash stock rom again, in ftf file format using flashtool, not a flashable cwm rom.
