How to flash a new BASEBAND Rooted Locked Bootloader ? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi,
Sorry to post a question, but no Q/A section for ray and it might be helpfull for other people.
I'm running Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 europe but during the day i have a lot of mobile network signal loss (always when the screen is off or whe the mobile is in my pocket).
I've read in the arc forum, that it could help to flash/change the Baseband.
i've also read that the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 upgrade the baseband.
My question is :
How can i change the Baseband (maybe the assossiated lib?)?
My phone is rooted (thanks Doomlord for your Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0] ) but i ve a locked bootloader.
Is it possible to change it with root explorer or something like that?

ok no offense, was just thinking it might help other people too if it was possible to change baseband without flashtool ?
Because i ve read that i'm not the only one with network problem with baseband .42 ( at least arc users).

So, little feedback if it can help somebody,
i use flashtool (thanks to bin4ry and Androxyde)
Before flashing, be sure to be in Mass storage Mode (setting = sony ericsson = connectivity = usb mode connection )
==> Flash Firmware : than i choose the baseband from that post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358139 (thanks to dearteno for the .tft)
==> connect the device in flashmode (hold vol- and connect usb)
==> reboot
Hope it will work that way.

Try posting your questions in the stickied thread. That way we can keep organized. Thanks guys!

[Neo] Questions about firmware / rom.

Hi everyone,
I am new here and I have already rooted and unlocked my phone + installed cyangenmod(Latest) boot.img + installed NightElfs kernel and then Achotjan's ROM.(Other's NOT working ...)
When I boot I see : FreeXperia Boot Screen and then the logo of Semc Debranded (I also have CMW Full from DoomLord).
Now some thing aren't working (Can't post in section dev. ::> new ! )
So I am just asking how to see your band version / firmware ?
Can someone please briefly explain or gimme a link explaining this ?
(I guess firmware is Android version ie 2.3.4 ?)
In the info screen of my cellphone.
Android version :2.3.7
Smallbandversion ? What is this ? = 8x55A-AABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-FXP-v03 [email protected] #17
Build number Achotjan-semc-debranded-engine-v1.0-hotfix
Someone knows if I have the wrong requirements for this ROM Achotjan's SEMC Debranded CM7?
Because when I am trying to flash any other ROM then Achotjan's SEMC Debranded CM7 ROM I am stuck at the boot logo.
Do I need to flash a .ftf (Firmware ?) file for this to work correctly ?
Or have I Forgotten a step (unlock BOOT, Root, kernel, ROM ?)
Thanks in advance !
Kind regards !
Hi Slee
I see your post and I GUESS your band version is 56
Im a newbie too and I also have some questions:
1) When will we see "Smallband" and when will we see "Baseband"? My Neo shows "Baseband" but some others show "Small"
2) Im not really understand differences between KERNELs, FIRMWAREs and ROMs
Thanks all!

1. Download gingerbread tft (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627627)
2. Open flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351324)
3. Flash gingerbread tft via flashtool

Or... You can try custom ROMs, depending of how your bootloader is, locked or unlocked.

[Request]Rooting xperia neo

Hello,
lately I updated my SE xperia neo from android 2.3.4 via "update service" program and now I have now something like that:
Model: MT15i
Version of Android system: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Compilation: 4.1.B.0.431
and here my problems just appearing. Tried to follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690

Click to collapse
but I do not see .ftf file to my phone. Idk also what to do to check if my bootloader is locked or unlocked (guess that after official flash process it's locked - but not sure). Googled over few days and I can't find anything simple to root my device.
Thank you
You even found a thread and you followed it, and you still create new thread for your question instead of asking in the thread you follow. I don't understand that.
Anw, all you need is in that thread. ftf, instructions, kernel for root process, it's all there.. just read first post.
p.s. if you updated via update service and you never unlocked your BL(by using test point), then it's locked.
p.p.s. this kind of questions should go to Q&A section.
The problem is that, I can't find .ftf file to mt15i.

MT15 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Trade Nordic, 1247-0875
Or is it problem that it's not written is it i or a?
Uploaders didn't specified but I believe it's for i.
