Number 1: Please don't SPAM this section, very important section where all the nerd stuff comes in.
SO POST IN Q&A SECTION NEXT TIME
Number 2: I use FreeKernel mod3.60, you should use it too, it is compatible with baseband 52 and basically every baseband. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON, and find that thread.
Number 3: Download the CORRECT KERNEL, and yes, you can flash it in xRecovery.
Number 4: MAKE SURE YOU DON'T SPAM THIS SECTION!
Since this is already answered. I will close this. Please post in the correct sections next time. Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Today I have seen that there is a new Beta update at the Froyo rom.
Now I read "REQUIRES LATEST KERNEL AND BASEBAND 2.1.54 (shipped in stock 2.1.A.0.435 ROM)"
What I have to do now? Any explaination?
Flash, root & xrecovery instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
Then follow Beta4 instructions.
I have found that beta 4 is eating my battery though. 10% per hour. I was using a third of that with Beta 3.
I going back to Beta 3 now.
i dont think we can use the above mentioned link for baseband update, check the reply by the author when someone had problem installing the freex10 beta4 in the same thread on page 2

2.1.54 is the latest baseband which comes with the 2.1.A.0.435 ROM (you even copied that on your first post ). Anyway, try reading this post by KULANV:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3904
The steps he provided is easy to follow. I did mine the long way but that was before anyone posted the shorter way.
try this HOWTO, if you don't wanna mess something up!
Hey i m new in xda.i want to try cm7 rom in my p500.i just want to know what is baseband n what is gsm.i m currently on rooted android 2.2.
Plz help me i don't know how to change baseband n why it is necessary.

Here's a link to where you can read more about getting the new baseband:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
BUT! for trying out CM7 on your phone you currently do NOT need the new baseband, although you might need it in the future.
All you need to do is install ROM Manager from the market > flash custom recovery from it > download the required files and follow the instructions available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
Hope that helps
What about gsm.what is gsm?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
GSM = Global System for Mobile Communications more or less your phone's ability to work as a phone/connect to your provider's network.
The tricky part with basebands and different ROMs is that once you flash the new baseband (update to official GingerBread), you will not have gsm/network if you go back to a ROM based on the old baseband. Up side is, Mik has taken care of it by coming out with a workaround, which you can find in the FAQ section in the CM7 link I posted earlier.
And btw, searching the forums is a good way to find a lot of useful info, don't get me wrong, I'm new here too, but all the answers I'm giving you, I've managed to find with the search options
Ok thanks dude this is very helpful

Hello,
I have an SE XPERIA X10i on 2.3.3, BB 2.1.71, Kernel 2.6.29, Build 3.01.G.0.75.
It's the stock ROM which I was able to load onto the phone with the 2.1.71 baseband along with Flashtool.
However, I'm a) getting bored of the stock rom, b) find the battery life not so great, c) believe the performance and responsiveness of screen gestures could be better.
I've been thinking of going to FreeX10 2.3 or CM7 2.3.
Now, I don't have xrecovery on the phone since I wiped it clean and bundle installed stock 2.3.3 with Flashtool. My next steps are:
1) How do I get xRecovery back on the phone since I can't root it as it's 2.3. I've read the documentation for Gingerbreak and it looks complicated.
2) What is the best/easiest way of loading a new ROM onto the phone? I imagine it's just to flash a custom zip thru xRecovery but since that's not on the phone anymore, I need to know how to get it back on there.
I'm sorry for the silly questions - I know this forum doesn't take kindly to the under-Android-educated but I do know a bit so far and I'm just looking for some help so constructive advice would be appreciated in advance I probably could figure out all these things on my own by googling but I don't have as much time as I'd like to devote to these priorities. Thanks for all your help in advance friends!
Here is a guide for all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
U can use flash tools to install xrecovery.
And next time post in Q&A forum.
Sorry for not posting in the correct section... Since the question was related to ROMs I thought that perhaps it best belonged in this section.
So I can install xRecovery even though my device isn't rooted and is on 2.3.3 stock?

Yes with flashtool 0.4.2 you can.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
I used this tutorial when i was on stock GB and decided to root, but once you do it, its the best thing to do for the phone.
i also recommend unlocking your bootloader
Read the tutorials in the stickies for noobs. Eveything you need to know is in there
Also, read the thread
"Read this before you post"
Then you will know that questions go in the question and answer section...

Going to flash S8 from stock, but I have no idea how to flash the kernel first.
Here's the link to the kernel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1289460
I don't even know which link is the kernel itself, so I figure I better ask for help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281779
Thread moved from the Dev section to Q&A section.
My advice to the OP is that if you dont know how to flash, then dont. Read up first, and there is a lot to read... but its all good information on how to NOT mess up your device.
Also, if you want to flash S8, check out his site and his thread. Mikey steers his users in the right direction and makes a great rom.

I am using Mikey's instructions...I've flashed SVII before, but it didn't require flashing a kernel. I just want to make sure I do it right, but so far have not gotten an answer to this rather simple question. If anyone feels like spilling the beans before I just have to google it and go with some random's method, I'd like it alot.

Also. There is a FAQ thread that pretty much explains how to flash a kernel using Odin.

entropy's post has several to choose from. they are all dated. the dates are the versioning (if you will)
how hard is it to click on one and download it? maybe the most recent one?
also, Entropy's kernels in that thread are for CWM, flashable just like any other CWM zip file
perhaps you need to read the FAQ thread and the HOW TO ROOT thread. this basic stuff is explained very well.
Latest Entropy kernel is DD_11132011.zip For future reference, the file names are based on the release date.

ok I DL'ed that zip file, and tried to flash w/ odin but it doesnt list it as a valid .tar file, and won't let me see it in the list of files I can choose from to flash
downloaded cwm, and flashed it with odin (the exact way I tried to flash the kernel, but this one actually shows up for use)
cwm is installed, moved the .zip to SD and installed with cwm, and nothing. Phone is not rooted and completely the same as before the install...
Not sure what to do at this point.....why didn't the kernel flash?
Should I just go ahead and try to flash the ROM?

Installation
From Stock:
1. Install Entropy512's kernel, found here.
2. Entropy512's kernel will give you root and CWM. Download Titanium Backup from the Market, and after allowing root permissions, back up your apps.
Durr me no speakee english
But I flashed the ROM with CWM anyway, and it worked. The phone is blazingly clean and fast and battery life has dramatically improved. Thanks everyone!

Questions like: what kernel, what baseband, got drunk and bricked my phone.... HERE
OK, first q: can someone post Neocore results on F1 and 06.12 franco`s kernel?
Baseband question: i'm on the new baseband (was on stock 2.3, then flashed to openoptimus). I really like the look of some of these .32 kernels and roms but everything says its for old baseband.
Can i go back to the old baseband? Is there a thread somewhere? Is it safe? From my own investigation, it looks to me like I don't go back to the old baseband, but rather flash some patch to make the roms work anyway. Sound right?

It is safe, and you will not have data(2G/3G) working if you don't have it

Sorry dude I don't quite understand your response. Is there anything I have to do, or just flash the rom and it will be OK?

It won't be OK. If your phone uses the "new" baseband, ROMs made for the "old" baseband will work on your phone (as in flashing will be successful, the phone boots etc.) and everything works except for the most important thing in a phone: the GSM/UMTS module. Which means you won't be able to connect to your mobile network and won't be able to make and receive calls. Bummer. Now, there's a patch that solves this BUT something will still be missing: mobile data. You will be able to make and receive phone calls, but you won't be able to connect to the internet using the mobile data connection (only WiFi).
So, if you want to use a ROM that clearly states it's made for the old baseband, old baseband is what you must have on your phone in order for both calls and internet to work. How to tell which baseband do you have right now it's a different discussion and we'll get there if necessary. I just detailed vlt86's answer for you to understand.
EDIT: I see you already know what baseband you have - the new one. Follow voyager20021's link in order to find out how to return to the old one.
