I understand that the official releases underwent a kernel upgrade from 2.2->2.3.3
All the custom roms based on 2.3.3 do not include a kernel which is why it seems I have to go to p3droids rooted stock 2.3.3 first to get the updated kernel before i can flash a 2.3.3 rom.
now was there a kernel update going from 2.3.3->2.3.4? or if in the past i have done p3droids as a step to going to a custom 2.3.3 is that enough?
thanks.

Since now we have an official root method (Here [works for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4]) p3droids rooted stock is obsolete.
If you want to update to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 you should SBF to them, and use the one click root method mentioned above; this way you will not have to worry about kernels as they will be updated according to which SBF you update to.
EDIT: SBF Tutorial
could not be more helpful and precise. TY.

currently I am on Mik_os's 2.3.4 CM7 rom with a baseband of v07u, my question: which baseband would I need to flash ? Also with flashing these basebands, what if I were to go back to froyo roms ie...devoid froyo final, void delta, or megatron ? Would I get stuck in boot loops or even worse take a chance at bricking my phone ? I get the whole concept that the reason to flash the new baseband is some GSM will work on offical GB roms.
mik_os's CM7 is still on version 10e baseband, therefore, it is *technically* a froyo based rom just rebuilt to BE gingerbread without the baseband.
So in that, it uses the old baseband. Same as froyo.
The only roms that require the new baseband are roms based off the new 2.3.3 released from LG.
you're welcome

I appreciate the help, but that didnt necessarily answer the question I was looking for was....with flashing the new baseband(s), which one is compatiable with all roms ? Say I wanted to right now flash to an official 2.3.x rom, than a few weeks later wanted to go back to roms like megatron,devoid froyo final,mik_os's cm7 ? I know I would have to flash the new baseband for the new roms but what would I do to have a working phone for the "technically based froyo" roms ?

You should get the old baseband to have #technically froyo based roms. This can be done by,
1. Flashing entire older official version rom (i.e.10a, b..) via KDZ or LGMDP.exe.
2. Easier? Just flash only baseband via LGMDP.

What he said.
I am running freeX10-beta4_zdzihu on my x10i with android version 2.2.1, baseband version 2.1.54 and kernel version 2.6.29.
How do I upgrade it to gingerbread, preferably custom rom?
I saw upgrade procedure where requirement is stock SE 2.3.x fw.
But I am looking for upgrade from custom rom freex10.

I like to use FreeXperia Rom. My baseband is 2.1.54. I have not found a FreeXperia ROM for my baseband yet.
As far as I know there is no Gingerbread ROM that is running everything as FreeX10 does.
The developers are waiting for the open source stuff to be released by Sony Ericsson to complete their ROMs, it should be available in a couple of weeks after has released it, they already have working ROMs that lack some functions.

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.
I already have CF-Root kernel and CyanogenMod 7 on my phone. I'm looking for to flash the official ICS, but should I flash a NEW stock kernel for ICS? Should I go back to my GB stock kernel before doing that? Thanks a lot, guys!

There should be instructions on whatever page you download the ICS you intend to install from... Right? Follow them.
If you will push Android 4.0.3 or other Custom ROM on your current set up, it will over write your entire OS.
Hi all sorry I'm new to this,
So my friend gave me his used Samsung Fascinate and told me its already rooted, has a custom ROM, and CWM Red. I've confirmed the CWM Red All. How do I tell what ROM I'm using? I need to install PDroid but it requires me to patch my ROM file.
kernel 2.6.35.7,
build SCH-I500.EH03,
firmware 2.3.5,
baseband S:i500.04 V.EC09
Also how do I got about patching the ROM file? Do I just use the Pdroid patch file, and patch the ROM file, then reflash with Odin?
I've only used aokp and blackbean, but it would tell me in about phone. I think the rom you are running is based on gingerbread, I started flashing with ics, so I don't know what roms were gingerbread based. I would follow droidstyle's guide and flash something newer. The latest paranoidandroid is jellybean based (4.1.2) and it will be much faster. Odin is mostly used to flash your phone back to stock, so it would normally be the first step.
Yep,, look in :: Settings | About phone
It should tell you something,,,
If all else fails you could download the ota updater program
https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/
It may or may not have a new ROM,,, but it should tell you what you have
and i highly agree, follow droidstyle's guide and update your rom to the newer jellybean stuff
