- Hmm, you should be able to change the model number by editing your build.prop
- The only way you can get 2.3 is by flashing a new ROM. SE stopped at 2.1
- Not completely sure about this one but I think you should be able to use Flashtool to get those firmwares.

That's the problem, i tried editing the build.prop, maybe i did it wrong, d'you know what should it say, exactly what D:
And i tried to change the rest with flashtool, but the only thing that did change was the baseband, used to be the one that ends with 06 and it changed to 015, but the rest didn't change.
I want to change the rom to the mini cm7 2.1.7 for x10minipro
I already changed the x10mini (E10i) i have, with a rom for the mini (no pro) cm7 2.1.6, but now that i see the one for mini pro i can't change it.
does anyone know what can i do?! T-T
Anyone? D:

I have the same problem, I need to change from U20a to U20i. I also tried to change the build.prop but it doesn't work. I need help, what can I do?

Why do you need to change the model? When you flash a new rom, the new build prop already comes marked as u20i.
I have a u20a and just reflashed original rom with seus, I noticed the sony build.propdoes not have any of the ro.ril parameters, and 2G works far better in this rom. Also, 3G seems 2o draw less eneergy from the battery. Maybe when running with u20i parameters the u20a gets more power hungry. I'm looking into rebuilding the kernel myself and cooking a rom following the excellent work of nobodyatall and I would like to have some light shed on this u20a/u20i matter.
any info whatsoever is welcome.
As far as installing a custom rom, just flash the naa-11 kernel, enter clockwork recovery and flash the ROM you want. (minicm7 2.1.9 is excellent)

Upgrading FW !!!

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

Thanks!
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,

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.

[Q] - [RESOLVED] - Went from U20a Model to U20i on Build 2.1.1.A.06 with Baseband....

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

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.

- U20a - 2.1-update1 - M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 - 2.1.1.A.0.6 - Telstra Australia -

Not sure if this is where i should post this but i was trying to return my x10 mini pro to its normal state, which the past 2 days would leave me with 2.0.A.0.504 as its build version and the baseband was M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Only just as of roughly 35 minutes ago, i had used the same program SEUS from sony ericsson to repair my x10 mini pro. I restarted my phone and checked its settings to find that my model was still U20a with the same firmware version but with a new baseband version number and the new 2.1.1.A.0.6 build version...
Your best bet is to use the flashtool.

Why do you want to use 2.0.A.0.504 vs. 2.1.1.A.0.6? The latest firmware is 2.1.1.A.0.6.

No I am just showing people that in Australia if you are on Telstra and have an x10 mini pro that they have released that update now...
We were stuck with 2.0.A.0.504 for months...
i flashed the E15_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11.ftf on my xperia x8 so that i could install update-cm-9.0.0-V02-X8-KANG rom. Now i want to revert back to original se rom but there is conflict with the base bands meaning i have to use X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015 to be able to install but this base band usually doesn have xrecovery so one has to install xrecovery but my current system doesn allow xrecovery to install. am stuck any help?

Root your device first! Otherwise it is impossible!

[Q] what is 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware

i was trying to installe android 2.3.5 but i found its post the i cant unless i have
Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware is that the orignal Rom the device came with ?
If you go into 'settings' then 'about phone' you will see the phones baseband version. If it ends in 15 it is most likely one of the two firmwares you mention. If you try to install a rom dependant on these firmwares and you don't have it you will temporarily brick your phone. (Requiring the use of the Sony Ericcson Update Service to hopefully restore the phone to working order).
It is possible your phone has the firmware already installed but you need to check! Some network providers have been very slow at releasing them. If you manage to find the firmware on the web (make sure it is the correct language and layout for your locale - AND the correct phone) then you need to use a flashing utility to install it, I use 'flashtool' as it can root the phone and install xrecovery, but you must be sure you read the documentation and follow the proceedure.
Once you have xrecovery and the phone is rooted the magic can begin..
Be careful. Its very easy to render your phone bricked (as in the phone is as useful as a brick!). No one here can take responsibility for the advice given or your actions.

my phone android version 2.2.1
baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
KERNAL VERSION 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
MOD VERSION FROYO MINICM/CMV6 HYBRID BY SLADE87 AND OWAIN 94
BUILD NUMBER V5.01 FINAL RELEASE
SO CAN I INSTALL SONYBREAD WHICH requires 2.1.1.A.0.6 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware
so do i have it????
Not anymore, but if you do Factory reset, yes you have
no it will not cuz the factory ROM is not exsist
In my understanding the firmware doesn't change when you install a custom rom and (to me) they are two different entities. So yes, in my view you should be able to flash sonybread but I haven't used it myself but I have other gingerbread ports without a problem
Once your on the correct baseband you can change between roms without having to flash via the pc/flashtool.
If you get into bootloops then you can try restoring an xrecovery/cwm recovery or failing that reflashing with seus/flashtool.

[Q] How do i update the baseband?

Hi guys,
I have a Xperia Mini Pro with this configuration...
Model: U20i
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
kernel: 2.6.29
I'm still a noob at installing new versions of Android.
Can anyone tell me how i update the Baseband to M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015?
I already have it rooted, i just can't install modified androids because of this baseband!
Thanks! Any help is welcome!
You need to update the phone using the SEUS app. This will upgrade your baseband but will also wipe any existing mods & data.
Simply Run the SEUS program and follow the intructions given on screen. Once you've updated, your baseband will be updated.

Not sure why your baseband isn't already, having re-read the post you say it already has 2.1 update-1 which is wierd. Try updating the phone again anyway it might solve your problem
You can update with pc companion

Try updating via PC Companion or SEUS, like that:

You need to change your build.prop file to fool SE that you have a different version so they'll send you the 015 version. To do this you must:
1. Root the phone.
2. Google and download a build.prop file for your phone (exact model).
3. Change your current /system/build.prop with that one using RootExplorer (or similar).
4. Reboot the phone.
5. Update the phone with PC Companion.
