Can't upgrade baseband on X10i - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't upgrade my baseband higher than 52,when ever i try to upgrade i get unknown baseband.

if you are using a custom rom try using Dev Tools > Bad Behavior > Crash The System Server and wait the phone to reboot.
if you are in Stock ROM try reflashing baseband, i have used .52 and .54 in stock ROM without problems and .54 .55 in custom ROM

But,when i flash it to higher then 52 baseband like 54,it give me unknown baseband.

What ROM or firmware are you using?

Ei dude, I had experienced that when I played with different roms.I fixed it with SEUS and used Flashtool to root and change baseband again. Hope this would help you.

[Q] Why update baseband?

I'm currently running FreeX10 B3H1, I see that B4 is out and all it apears to do is add support for the new Baseband... is there any notice improvements with the updated baseband?
I'm also not entirely sure what the baseband does
The baseband is the radio of the phone, so basically it controls your call quality, signal, mobile network, etc..
As fire why to upgrade, I can honestly say I haven't noticed any real benefits since I updated. However, as time progresses newer roms are going to be based on this version so if you want to keep flashing custom roms eventually you will have to upgrade anyway..
Hi,
I attempted to install Beta 4 last night (first time installing FreeX10). But now it is in a non stop reboot cycle and will not get any signal. It stays on for about a minute and then reboots everytime. Having read more on this I think it could be Baseband related. When I check the settings it says Baseband is unknown.
Can I upgrade my Firmware to X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL in order to get the correct Baseband and then reinstall FreeX10? And if so, Can I use Flashtool to install X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL without issues?
(My phone is an X10i by the way, should I use a different Firmware before re-installing FreeX10B4?)
Thanks in advance!

Got .435 and baseband 2.1.54
Installed Free X10 without any problem.
You gotta make sure you update to 435 before installing freex10 beta 4 to get all benefits...

no you don't...
flashing just the kernel and the baseband through flashtool has the EXACT same effect...

[Q] updating firmware from custom rom

i am running a miui 2.2 on .49 baseband. if i were to plug my phone into seus will it update to the latet .55 baseband or i have to restore the original se rom onto my phone and then plug it into seus?
thanks in advance
It should update (downgrade...) your phone.
But why not use FlashTool instead?

it'll reinstall the se 2.1 with .55 baseband and .435 firmware?
flashtool breaks sometimes. i had an occasion where i was flashing my dualtouch kernal and my phone was stuck at Se logo. had to repair with seus
Flash tool doesn't break. It could be your USB port (dont use a hub, i had this issue) or a misstep in the procedure. The flash tool can be used to upgrade just the baseband without the firmware, its the only way to do that.

If you use SEUS it automatically updates everything to latest release from your carrier. If you wanna run anything custom you should just use the flash tool.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I've got no issues on using a powered usb hub for SEUS and flashing the dualtouch kernal when the .435 firmware was not out yet.
so now the firmware doesnt really matter? like for J's 2.3.3 i can run on .24 or .435 firmware but i MUST have .52bb. is that right?
now lets say i want the 2.1 honeycomb rom that requires .55 bb and .435 firmware, i have to flash the .55bb then the .435fw via flashtool?
Depending on the specs of a powered hub you might not have problems but flashtool (dunno about seus) can be finicky if it doesnt have a fast enough connection (mine would hang at about 70 percent flashed, without the hub it was no problem)
Yes the basebands can be changed without changing your base firmware.

The custom rom changes the firmware. It says its dependant on that firmware because of the included baseband (which is what it is really dependant on) basebands can now be flashed without the stock firmwares.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
So now let's say I'm running on a miui which requires. 49 bb. I flash the. 55bb on it, reboot once,and flash the new Rom over it? But since the miui that I have doesn't work on .55 bb won't it not boot? Or go erratic or sth?
Yep, if the firmware, ie MIUI is not compatible with 54 - 55 base band, it will boot loop and or force close .... Clubfreaks modded A version of MIUI that works for the newer Bbands too!! Tweaked it a bit and it works well!!!
Enjoy!

Is reading so tough??? It is given clearly in the thread's first post.
Do NOT proceed until you fully understand the following:
- P500-v20G-baseband.7z is for official v20[abdg....] ROMs and ROMs based upon it (e.g., GingerLOL, v20G stock ROM, customized v20G ROM, 0x0v3rfl0w ROM and GingerCriccoROM).
- P500-v10E-baseband.7z is for all other ROMs.
You've to downgrade to v10E.
[EDIT]: Saw your post. Glad that is is working fine now.
i knew its mentioned but its mentioned customized v20G ROM
so i was confirming that cyanogen comes under 20g or 10e
i did it wth 10e only
You could also flashed the rom with kdz and that way the old baseband would be written automatically.

[Q] 2.1 upgrade to 2.3

t's been awhile since my last upgrade, my X10a is still on 2.1-update1 firmware, baseband 2.1.54, kernel version 2.6.29 with build number 2.1.A.0.435
How to flash to latest 2.3 ?
You can upgrade to gingerbread with with pc companion..
but stock 2.3 from SE is very laggy & slow so install a custom gingerbread rom like Wolfs TW Gingerbread v7
Wolfs TW Gingerbread v7 is a very god rom. it has no bugs, no fcs its very smooth
I do want a custom rom, but can I just flash thru recovery? Given that I'm already rooted.
Yes, flash thru xRecovery

No, you need the baseband 71 as well and that needs flashtool....
Read the OP to any custom rom you want to flash.
Or, use pccompanion to upgrade to stock 2.3 then whilst you are there you can use flashtool to
a) root
b) ask root permissions
c) Install xrecovery (0.3 GB ready)
d) Unlock bootloader (Optional step)
then flash the rom of your choice...

I didn't have any lag on the stock 2.3.3 when I used it for a few weeks, about half unrooted, then rooted, and no lag either way. If you have 2.3.3 and lag check your running programs. Our phones are computers now so just like with a pc if you have too much in the background everything gets slow. When I was on stock 2.3.3 my phone was new so I was installing ALL sorts of things finding out what I liked but I always checked settings and permissions of things I was trying out. Bottom line you shouldn't have lag on 2.3.3.

Problem phone

I have a problem to phone... when I change ROM, I do not signal the battery ... what to do? I tried to update the software and nothing .
sorry for my bad english...
maybe the rom you flashed is not compatible with your current baseband. or am i not understanding this right?
Ahaa... yo're right.. I changed the baseband 1 week ago ... I can give a baseband for p500?

Here you find both Basebands (New and Old) and also a guide to change them.
And also there is a Search button on the page which gives you alnost ALL answers
OLD BASEBAND: V10X, only for use with ROMs based on Froyo or unofficial CM.
NEW BASEBAND[: V20X, only for use with ROMs based on Gingerbread or official CM.
You can change this using LGMDP but I prefer use KDZ Firmware Updater (but you need to root and install recovery each time).
If you flash any ROM without the right baseband you haven't GSM and/or data connectivity.
