I've made bundles for FlashTool, for X8i and X8a, with basebands 006 and 015.
Kernel and baseband are related to each other, so if you have baseband 006, you'll have 2.0.2.A.0.24 kernel, and with baseband 015 you'll get 2.1.1.A.0.6 kernel.
If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006, you'll get infinite boot loops. This can be fixed by simply flashing correct bundle (kernel/baseband).
This will NOT wipe userdata!
All basebands are in Xperia X8 folder on Mediafire.
Currently, these basebands are available:
X8i - E15i
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
X8a - E15a
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
Every baseband version is: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534040xy where xy is either 06 or 15, depending on which baseband you flash.
Update: jerpelea's CM7, racht's ports, as-mario's MIUI and ponanovn's MiniCM port are all made for latest kernel and baseband 015. Nice to see that, thanks
Enjoy, and be careful, don't brick the phone, and if you do, don't blame me, you're doing this on your own risk!
Possibly a method for restoring signal issue when SEUS fails

Both have 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW's kernel, while amss and fota files differ.

It's for X8i version ONLY! If anyone has got 2.x flash files for X8a, give them to me and I'll make baseband bundle
X8i
Baseband 006 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_006.7z
Baseband 015 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.7z
Don't forget to update 7-Zip to latest version if you have problems with opening archive.

what is the advantage of this?? not meaning to be rude
The advantage is that you can change baseband as it please you. Why you'd want to I have no clue
Context: http://source.android.com/porting/telephony.html
All four basebands are now tested, packed and uploaded to Mediafire
good job !
hi i did yesterday flash the bundle for x8i
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6

He said "If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006"
not to flash latest baseband to phone with old kernel. this is your status, you flash the latest baseband to old kernel.
what blagus said about infinite bootloops is when you flash the latest kernel (2.1.1) to phone with baseband 006, your case is the opposite. understand?
I try to flash the whenever i flash it says driver error to reinstall driver in flashtool folder, PC Companion run ok and install gordon gate also show i got latest driver,
but still got driver need to reinstall, what is the problem expert
Does PC Companion get your device into flash mode? If so, then redownload flashtool. If not - get your X8 connected and go into hardware manager of your computer, find your connected phone and erase all the drivers, then reinstall PC Companion for new drivers.
done that, uninstall everything and driver,
start all over again but result still the same,
keep asking to install and reinstall driver from driver folder
Need explenation

are X8i and X8 e15i the same?

My X8 firmware is 2.1 update 1 with baseband 06 build version 2.0.2.a.0.24
I have an infinte loop when using this file "Baseband 006 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_006.7z"
EDITED:
when i use "Baseband 015 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.7z", i have my baseband in 015, but the build number become 2.0.1.a.0.47.
if i want to upgrade to 2.1.1.a.0.6, what baseband should i use?
Hello guys, just one quick question, why is it that upgrading to baseband 15 from 06 the phone requests the sim network unlock code?
I am using the same SIM card, and the sim card belongs to the phone operator, so i don't understand why is it asking for network unlock code if it is the same sim.
I have found a couple of threads here on xda that recommend to click on the Dismiss button, but if i do that, i don't get any signal.
I have donwgraded again to 06, when i did the upgrade to 15 i also installed floyo 1.0 via xrecovery and everything loaded perfectly except that i have no signal, so it is useless.
I have tried going manually to the settings of mobile networks, but it says that it is not able to register on the network.
Thank you for any tips,
Regards

Did you tried flashing your phone by SEUS to upgrade this directly from SE???
Thanks for replying biscoitu, the phone came with 1.6, so i changed the SI because mine was not ready for 2.1. The new software that was updated via PC Companion is:
2.0.1.A.0.47 with baseband 06, 2.1-update1
And it is working fine, but now the pc companion says that its up to date, and it is not updating to the latest baseband, so i downloaded the ones included in this thread and flashed with flashtool, when i reboot i get asked for the network unlock code, if i dismiss it does not work.
I don't understand why it asks for it, if it is the same sim card. I have visited a couple of websites that sell codes for the x8 but when i confirm with my IMEI they say that they don't have available.
Thanks to pbezza, I've finally extracted basebands for U20i.
Kernel and baseband are related to each other, so if you have baseband 006, you'll have 2.0.2.A.0.24 kernel, and with baseband 015 you'll get 2.1.1.A.0.6 kernel.

Hi Blagus,
I am unsure what you are trying to say.
My research indicates that hardware for U20i and U20a are the same but something in the software controls 2 different frequency options.
This stands to reason as having all options turned on would reduce battery life.
Now you seem to be saying you know how to switch the baseband option on a U20i to include options for U20a and vice versa.
Am I right or have I miss read you.
I am currently running U20a software but the baseband is still using U20i frequeny options. It was originally a U20i phone.
This is a good idea.
Hi Blagus,
I have looked at your other posts and it seems you can edit something in the Kernel to turn on all or some baseband options.
Yes I want to be able to do that 2.
i am running U20a Software but as the U20a baseband options have been turned off I cant get the service provider i preffer.
Looking at your Media Files it seems you edit a file in the Kernael Folder.
I can send you a copy of said Kernel Folder but I would think you edit a specific file. Can you tell me which one please so I can send it too u.
Thankyou.
Hello,
I need to update the kernel to the latest one in my X10mini pro, how can I do it?
Tried allready with SEUS but does not update.
Thank you

It could be done if someone gives me links to U20i and U20a 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW.
Alternatively, change build.prop to CDA number which received latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 update and try again.
is there a different baseband version for 2.1.1.A.0.6?? i have 015...for 2.1.1.A.0.6
I've uploaded U20i basebands. Thanks to pbezza!
No problem blagus. If you want u20i firmware 2.1 v2.0.A.0.504 with baseband 006, get the UK firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
I currently have this one installed to confirm it's version for you.
Blagus, once a full firmware flash has occurred, is it possible to simply flash between basebands and the phone will still boot correctly? I'm asking this because I wish to test CM7 but it requires baseband 006 and I currently have 015. It's easy enough to do a full flash I suppose but to hop between basebands could be handy.

hi, how to update my baseband on my U20i???
I have the 006...
thanx
... and solved my problem, thanks all!
Just a quick question, the kernel/baseband combo on a decripted firmware folder is the kernel.*** file?
Hello here!
This is a silly question(I know), but I managed to flash the 015 baseband to my Mimmi, but my kernel still being 2.0.2.A.0.24. Did it have to change as well with the new baseband to 2.1.1.A.0.6? I got some reboots but I let it pass. Not happening anymore. I think they'll happen later again won't they?
Long story short I'm planning to flash this rom to my phone and I'm wondering if it would be harmful? Or the problem with basebands/kernels is the loop issue?
Thanks.
hi blagus thanks for this awesome thread. just a quick Q my phhone is currently on 2.0.A.0.504 with baseband 54404006. can i use the following(U20i_2.1.1.A.0.6_baseband_015.7z) baseband link and i will end up with this 2.1.1.A.0.6 baseband 53404015
just asking because reendor2005 said to me i have to flas the firmware and not the baseband is this included in the file
Is it safe, to change, to flash just the baseband, while you are on a custom rom?
I mean, suppose,
I am on Freex10beta4, a 2.2 rom, with baseband 2.1.54. Everything is fine working. Then baseband 2.1.67 and 2.1.61 came up recently?
Can I change the baseband only? Or do I need to flash the whole upadate (2.1.67 and its system?

Yes, of course you can! I myself have been doing this quite a lot lately,
as I was trying the new basebands. You need to download an ftf bundle that includes only the baseband files. Check here.
i rooted my phone before but then i reset it and now using stock firmware
model x10a
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband version 2.1.54
build number 2.1.A.0.435
and i have no idea why it keep on reboot while using recording video?? also when doing so many stuff at once >"<
anyone have any idea how to fix this please ?
thanks
Try flashing 2.1 over again with flashtool.
That will delete all data and rooting status.
Keep posting if you need help.
Have you used flashtool before?
yes... i tried every single things with my phone (2.2-2.3)
i used to flash a lot but then i decided with the original firmware is the best
but i also having problems with other version..

My guess to your problem is that you had the wrong baseband for the 2.2/2.3 ROM you were running. Rooting shouldn't cause a reboot in your phone.
but this is from stock version.... how could it be wrong @@
first..
from cm.7 i flashed via odin a full KPB..then flashed the one package kpd(from samfirmware)..
but in info..the baseband was become KPO..but the build was KPD
but then..
i had tried to downgrade from that KPD with KPO baseband, i downgrade to froyo..
my philippines samsung froyo DXKC1 (XTC)..i had sucessfulle done that..
then my kies detect my phone and there is upgrade frimware offer,,which was the kpd..
i flash the firm via kies..
and now..
the baseband synchronize the build..
baseband dxkpd
build gingerbread.kpd..
what do you think guys?
why samfirmware kpd doesnt synchronize its baseband?
any thinking?
Modem file handles the baseband. You could have just downloaded the modem file from the developer subforum and saved so much trouble
i know now..
the one in samfirmware..was ZSKPD asian..
but the update on kies was DXKPD..
maybe that was one of the reason..
KPO was the baseband of ZSKPD if im not mistaken..

One package file may not have changed your baseband,i.e,modem. You could have flashed just DXKPD modem from Lovetz's modem thread and saved your time.
