Hi everyone,
I have searched XDA-developers and Google and was unable to find any BaseBand files for the ST18a and ST18i Xperia Ray.
I would like to make a post similar to the X10 BaseBand Collection.
But I dont yet know how to extract the BaseBand from my phone, and couldn't find out how by searching. Could someone please post these files, or help me learn how to extract them?
The ST18a has Baseband version
[I do not know the version yet]
Downloadable here: [I do not have the file yet, but will update the post if someone helps me to get it]
Which supports:
UMTS/HSPA 850/1900/2100

The ST18i 2.3.3 has Baseband version

Thanks to Ricardo Rendeiro for his BaseBand Collection for X10 Post, which has the following at the bottom

How to install this on my phone?
You need latest FlashTool from HERE
And...?
Put the*.ftf file on firmware folder and just press flash on tool.
Don`t know how to use FlashTool?
Go HERE
final note: this only upgrades/downgrades baseband version NOT firmware

Thanks for your help.

Thankyou very much, can you explain how you got these files please?
Do you have the ST18a ones too?
I just dropped cyanogenmod urushi nightly onto my xperia ray.
It started as a stock st18a and after the nightly reports as an st18i. Weirdly everything seems to be working. I'm assuming I hosed HSPA freqs, though. I haven't figured out how to test that.
Anyhow, I do have a nandroid image of my stock st18a prior to cyanogen. I have no idea how to pull the baseband from that (looked around here and googled a fair amount to no avail). Happy to do so if someone can give me a pointer.
no link for .64?
please show step by step flash to st18a
Thank,
Baseband collection up to date.
Dear Thread Starter, now update the first post with the below mentioned links.

Although this is an old thread, I as hoping there would be an option somewhere for an ST18a running JellyBean 4.3 ? please... please... please...
Get latest baseband from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312468&page=1
Works fine in my Xperia Ray st18a(i) *model changed due to CE Gingerbread, but no big deal. Still connecting to 2g and 3g no problems so far. Stock Kernel.
Only problem with Xperia Ray st18a is very Low volume level in Calls, both on Speaker and Ear Speaker. I don't know if this is due to the baseband or firmware. I could only find st18i Gingerbread firmware.
---- Edit - now trying baseband 64 with Gin2KK ---- will update. I know there are a lot of users throughout the world still using older devices so if anyone is reading this, I will keep you guys posted.

Hello guys, i know it must be in somewhere in this forum but i just can't find it (and i searched a lot). I'm new at this stuff of using custom rom's so here it goes:
I have a Xperia X10 Mini with the following stuff:
Model Number: E10a
Version: 2.1-update1
Band Base Version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Version Number: 2.0.A.0.504
Im from Brazil and i want to upgrade my version number to the lastest one to be able to do the custom roms and stuff i guess the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6 right?
How can i do it? I already tried with SEUS and it gives me that "I already have the latest version of my software installed", tried to reinstall the software by SEUS and it only got me to the stock 2.1-update1 SE rom, with the same 2.0.A.0.504.
Can somebody help me please? If need more information just ask me! Thx everyone!
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update service) from SE site and update ur phone. Or else use PC companion (i prefer SEUS) , you can get that as well from SE site.
You need flashtool
get it here: http://rapidshare.com/#!download|942l36|448500453|FlashTool_0.2.7.1.exe|51239
And The 2.1.1.A.0.6 software

And is there a problema to update from a E10a firmware to a E10i firmware?
Do you know where i can download (a link in the forum maybe) a 2.0.A.0.504 stock? Just to be safe if something goes wrong and i install it back?
Or i can do it by SEUS?
Sorry because i'm a totally newbie about it. I just want to learn before do it.

Hey bro,
the best thing to do it to download the flash-tool and the appropriate fw for your e10a.
Here is the link for flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943645
That should explain everything you need to know.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
EDIT: Do not download e10i instead of e10a, if your device is the e10a the problem with downloading e10i that is it will lock up the bands your sim provider uses to get you signal. e10i is gsm and e10a is the new cdma or whatever it is called now. well thats what ive been told. Someone can correct me if im wrong.

Oh. WEll maybe the newer fw is ok to flash to any phone of the same model. Back before the 2.1 update came out i accidentlly flashed u20a to my u20i and i could not get any reception anywhere near me. I duno either that or maybe i just f**ked up somewhere along the way haha. well good luck then.

you will probably not be able to recieve 3G... But you can easily flash over the e10a baseband without deleting any user data
Well at the moment you wont be able to flash e10a, as I (and probably neither you) can't find E10a 2.0.2.A.0.24 (baseband 006) nor E10a 2.1.1.A.0.6 (baseband 015)
I've promised Blagus to work on getting the e10a firmwares So when I do I'll send the e10a bb015 firmware to you

Actually i'm on MiniCM-RC1(Froyo) and i'm getting 3G all the way. Tested it and everything.
My old E10a had that .504 the old one. I saw that firmware somewhere in this forum, but everything is ok until now. Let's see what happens!

se x10 mini pro u20a on baseband 015?
I think perhaps baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 will run 3G on 900/2100Mhz, so if you use this on your U20a (E20a?), you can still get 3G, but maybe only on 2100Mhz.
NOT 900 (hardware for U20a does 850/1900/2100 I think) and
NOT 850 (since baseband 015 only does 900/2100)
I have a u20a with stock baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006 - it gets 3G on 850/1900/2100Mhz.
I'm just trying to clarify this, cos I want to use Owain's cyanogen 8 mod, but it requires bb M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 and I don't want to lose my 850Mhz coverage...
Am I a clueless Noob, or does this make sense to anyone?
Anyone else out there have a U20a running custom roms and getting 850Mhz coverage and care to share how you got there?

Rich

Hey bro,
Yes this does make sense. I have u20i so i cant confirm whether or not it works that way but i guess it would all depend on which freq your service provider uses (i know you posted that) but using flashtool you can go back to what fw and baseband you previously had installed. i do notice tho that you have the old build number. Whats up with that? Has an update for 2.1 not been released in aussie? I dont mean the actual 2.1 update from 1.6, i mean an update to the 2.1 fw itself. I guess unless someone can confirm i would just go for it and see what happens and if it dont work then flash back haha. But do a xrec backup first then if you need to go back it wont be so hard. If you need i can even recreate and update.zip for you from your xrec backup. Anywho, let me know if i can help some more.
Peace,
eveilbarcode.

The baseband version (006/015) shouldn't affect your reception! What will affect your reception is wether you install e10a (u20a) or e10i (u20i) - The a-versions are for CDMA networks while the i-versions UMTS networks
u20a firmware
Thanks for the quick answers guys -
@Orkeren : I think you're right that I need to install u20a firmware, not u20i in order to get reception on the right bands. I just need to find some u20a firmware with an up to date build so that I have a good chance of getting custom android builds to be compatible with the phone firmware (if I read the forums right). The u20a us still UMTS, not CDMA, it just uses different frequencies - in particular 3G is 850/1900/2100 instead of 900/2100.
@evilbarcode : Yep, I do have an old build (2.0.A.0.504) which cannot be upgraded ota with my carrier. I'm thinking of flashing the brazillian u20a firmware linked above with flashtool (which may have build 2.1.1.A.0.6 or at least be able to be updated to that with SE's online update tool SEUS) and then install a custom rom like miniCM or gigglebread that needs 2.1.1.A.0.6 "for kernel compatibility."
I have downloaded clean firmware from SEUS (for my carrier), got those files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and decrypted them with flashtool, so I can revert to this if I get stuck. I already did this to test, which worked ok except my screen didn't come back on after power saving a couple of times (WTF?) until I did a firmware repair with SEUS again.
Questions to anyone who may know :
1. Is the baseband hard linked to the build number?
2. Is the baseband specific to a model #? U20a/i E20a/i If anyone has or had a stock u20i on bb 006, or a u20a on bb 015 we can answer this. I know the e20i and u20i both use 015
3. to revert to baseband 006 if I need different bands (am only assuming this) what .sin file(s) should I flash back?
4. Is there really any difference in firmware between the a/i versions, or is it all in hardware? I have yet to find a certain opinion on this, though it makes sense that there would be a difference.
Gonna experiment a bit and I'll let you know how I go...
cheers, and thanks again guys,
Rich
How to get 2.1.1.a.0.6 on your u20a!
Looking good so far.
I just used flashtool to put u20a brazillian firmware onto my Australian U20a handset. I downloaded the one linked on xda's thread for the u20a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777660) which came up as baseband 006 and build 2.0.A.0.504 (same as my Telstra U20a stock).
Using SEUS downloaded from SE, this successfully updated to bb 015, build 2.1.1.a.0.6! Unlike my Telstra firmware which would not update with seus.
I will use flashtool to decrypt the SEUS downloaded files and make another zipped fw for those who want to skip a step.
Now for some custom fun ! (rubs hands together with glee)
Rich
userdata
btw I did not flash userdata.sin and kept my apps and settings.
So far so good.
EDIT!!::::
Ok so First of my x10 mini pro was default and its model was U20a, its Build was 2.0.A.0.504 and the baseband was 06...
I then tried bits and peices of things and finally managed to change the model to U20i and have the build change to 2.1.1.A.06 and have the same baseband by using a custom downloaded backup file through xrec...
i couldnt figure out how to get the baseband to XXXXXXX015 so i tested my luck on the flasher that was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
So after a few tries it works
----
will report bugs and problems soon....
----------
Ok So.
Here is the story, i am trying to get my x10 Mini Pro to run this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051678
It is the ROM called: [ROM] Cyanogen Froyo - CM6 latest sources (Version 2.1) fast and stable + Dual Touch
Ok so i know i need to get my baseband to end with 015 so here is my information.
Model Number: U20a
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build Number: 2.0.A.0.504
So i tried using SEUS to get my version to be 2.1.1.A.06 so my baseband would be xxxxx015
BUT when i tried updating it said that there is no available updates and that my x10 mini pro is up to date...
Also i live in Queensland in Australia...
---
So how do i manage to get the ROM to run for me if i can not update/flash to that baseband/build... i have tried to follow this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040149
But i can not get the flasher to be downloaded, it seems the link is broken of the download has been removed...
If anyone could give me something to work with here, even just ideas and or tips i would be happy, atm i am testing to restore using a 2.1.1.A.06 Build Version Backup... Its working so far, havent rebooted yet...
Ok i had that backup finish, and i am at 2.1.1.A.06 now but my baseband is still the same... *beep* (cursing under breath xD)
Cant find a damn sure fire way to flash the correct baseband... maybe i can find a way for a U20i model version since the previous backup which used the 2.1.1.A.06 build....
Going on a search to see if its easier to flash the 015 baseband
Ok cant seem to find anyway to get the correct baseband version flashed over my model is now U20i, the Build is 2.1.1.A.06 but the baseband is still Baseband version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
I guess that restoring from a restore save wont change the baseband version maybe... but im not sure... my default is stil u20a and is still 2.0.A.0.504
I hate not knowing what to do lolxD
So I have not had any luck in figuring out what to do about my baseband problem but i was playing around with the restore from the custom backup and i found 2.1.1.A.06 to be faster and more responsive than 2.0.A.0.504...
Just about to fix up a personal save of that custom so i have my default and the custom.
Now to wait for someone to help... All i need is to be able to get the Baseband version:M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 onto my x10 mini pro, instead of its M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006...
So for you guys again, my baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006 for my 2.0.A.0.504 backup and is also M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006 for the new 2.1.1.A.06 custom backup. For the 2.0.A.0.504 which is my default build number for my default backup, the Model is U20a...
For my custom the Model is shown as U20i.
I have a U20i_2.1.1.A.06_Baseband etc etc file from someone on xda which is as a 7z file and i have no clue what to do now... help plz.......
X10 Mini Pro 2.1 incl. Flashtool
or
[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies
Ok so i now i have the rom running fine i think on my x10 which was default with the settings firstly stated, i then used a custom back up of 2.1.1.A.06 which gave my phone the U20i model and the needed 2.1.1.A.06 Build
i then found that the baseband could not be implimented properly through a backup and i therefore needed to flash it, my first many attempts failed greatly and i had no clue i then used this guide here and the latest version of the flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
i did not think it would work and to my surprise it did
Ok So far i have found that since i am on 3G i have no way to actually utilize the PHONE aspect of it, and i have also had something go wrong with the draw dock type thing... it wont bring up all of the apps now...
so its not that big of a deal, so atm its good, i have the u20i and the correct build and baseband so yay
but anyway, i still have my default backed up, i have the previous version backed up and the CM6 ROM version so i think that this is all good
although i wish i could get a nice rom which is 3G compatible, and oh oh oh! my cousin can get 4G speeds and still cant get 3G xD
Ok so after some tinkering and some searching and ****, i have found that the baseband is now 015 for all my backups... i will have to find baseband and kernel to flash to my device that will return it to 06
If i had the time to learn how i would see about an all in 1 sort of program which holds all basebands and its coupled builds... it would also root and instal xrecovery etc as other options and that will be about all xD but meh xD

Ok so First of my x10 mini pro was default and its model was U20a, its Build was 2.0.A.0.504 and the baseband was 06...
I then tried bits and peices of things and finally managed to change the model to U20i and have the build change to 2.1.1.A.06 and have the same baseband by using a custom downloaded backup file through xrec...
i couldnt figure out how to get the baseband to XXXXXXX015 so i tested my luck on the flasher that was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
So after a few tries it works
----
will report bugs and problems soon...

How did you get to U20i? I actually have to do the opposite! Can you guide me through going from U20i to U20a??? I have read so much my brain is beginning to melt but I'm just not getting anywhere! :crying:
I need something in U20a to enable options in the baseband so it will work in Canada. I bought the stupid thing on eBay and didn't realize there were 2 versions of this phone.
Just got a new SK17a I want to root. A big thank you to DoomLord and everyone else over in this thread.
DoomLord indicates here that his root solution will work on an SK17a. The firmware file linked to is for an SK17i. (Build 4.0.A.2.368.) Will flashing that file onto an SK17a affect the basebands? Will the US basebands work with that firmware?
Version info from my SK17a:
Baseband version: 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302203-30
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf ([email protected] #1)
Build number: 4.0.A.2.335
Sorry this is a separate thread, have new account and can't post in dev threads.
hi my friends, i am from Australia and i am interested in buying the sk17a as Vodafone launched new 850 network for faster internet and i was wondering if its possible to root it and unlock the bootloader as the sk17i, and what advantages or disadvantages it haves from sk17i.
thanks

It is a stock firmware. Besides loosing DRM after rooting there should be no difference regarding connections. This is no custom firmware. But I can't promise
edit: ups.. SK17a .. sorry overread that.. must inform what that might be first.. never came across that sk17a

Welcome in the world of Xperia
Your questions should be answered here
hth poedel
this model had electronic noise problem.....
And there are differences about the gsm bands. As far as I unterdstood the a version is for some American Bands like from bell that ride on a different frequency. SK17a seems to bo Quadband, without a got only 3 and the i version looks like the european. I could be wrong, but besides the gsm bands I could not find any differences in the models.
I personally would test that but this is no advice.
If you keep volume up pressed while plugging the usb cable into your usb port of the PC the LED should light up blue. That's fastboot. From here you can always flash using fastbood command. No risk - no fun *selfslap*

Did you figure out if this worked or not? I'm thinking of getting the Rogers version (sk17a)
Hi all, I just picked up a RAY... upgrading from a rooted X10 Mini
Model number
ST18i
Android version
2.3.3
Baseband version
8x55A-AAABQOAZM-20302204-36
Kernel version
2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #1
Build number
4.0.A.2.368
Except I just found out that my Carrier (Telstra in Australia) is decomissioning UMTS HSPA 2100 (Band I) and moving to UMTS 850 (Band V).
Is it possible to "flash" the modem in order to enable this band on this device, or is the hardware different.
I have searched the forum and I believe I need to replace the dsp1.sin file with the one from the ST18a but I am not sure how to do this, or if it will even work?
Any help would be greatly apreciated... thanks.
SK17a ?? OMG, how is it different from SK17i ? Is this the fixed version without electrostatic sound that users complained ?

Anyone root an sk17a?? Will the sk17i files work without messing up the bands?
So when you say messing up the bands, if you flash st18a firmware on an st18i phone or visa versa does it actually enable the st18a region set of bands or does it just stop the modem from working at all?
That's what i wanna know. most files on here seem to say sk17i instead of "a" so im not sure if i should try them.

Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but did you ever find an answer to this? I have an ST18a, and with newer basebands now available for the ST18i (and only the ST18i), I'm wondering if I can flash them without losing the 850 and 1900 bands (or for the benefit of gaining the 900 band when I'm in Europe).
I have a friends Xperia X10 mini
The details are below
Model:E10i
firmware: 1.6
Baseband Version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2,6,29
Build: 1.1.A.0.8
I want to install a gingerbread rom on it
Since my fireware is old, I will have to update it.
Please let me know how to upgrade it offline
Then I have to unlock bootloader right ?
Please point me to some valid threads.
I tried searching but did not get usefull resources and got confused
Please assist.
The links contained in that post is easy to follow.

The multiupload site is down. Does anyone have the 2.1.65 baseband already downloaded that they could get to me somehow?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have a Sony Ericsson there isn't a need for that baseband.
The 2.1.58 baseband supports 3G/3.5G... you can get that from here at mediafire website put in url: -----> /?fvv8wkfdn5dyche
or if that doesn't work use baseband: 2.1.54 if that one does not solve your problem... go to mediafire website and put in (as I cannot post links yet! ------> /?0unyd78ww1puzst
---> The Xperia x10s wireless chips do not support AT&T's 4G so these two should solve your problem
I had issues with gettting service after flashing a new rom to my x10 so I searched forever to find a dang baseband that would work with it.
I hope this helps
