Just a small question. Is it alright if I flash the basebands on this forum if I have the SK17A? Or will it brick my phone's radio?
u can make some backup for your stock kernel first, or googling

He asked about baseband, not kernel.
As far as I know, baseband is not located insite kernel.
@OP
No, you shouldn't flash "i" basebands in your "a" phone. It'll mess with your 3G reception.
You can download an .ftf firmware file for your SK17a in this topic.
It's a bundle file, which contains kernel, loader, system and baseband.
In short: if you just want to flash the SK17a baseband, download that file and, in Flashtool, select "exclude" for everything, except baseband.

If you wanna use a lower bb then your best option if you wanna have GB is to go back to an old custom GB rom that works on the older baseband.
hi, you can do it, but be carefull, do it on your own risk!!!!!!!!
what you need is
flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
baseband http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960527&highlight=baseband
i hope you know how to use flashtool, so when you have your favorite baseband its an ftf file, open it with 7.zip and delete the kernel.sin, so you will flash only the baseband.
now you are on your favorite baseband with GB kernel, but maybe you cant send sms, then you need an sms patch from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177744
i tested only bb67 with GB kernel and sms patch on custom rom, and it works for me

It won't be stable unless you switch to a custom rom that supports the chosen baseband.

although this thread is different, the attachment works for you too.
flash it with Xrecovery after installing the rom you want. works for custom roms (genric roms i dont know, maybe).Make sure you only use Xrecovery below 1.0 (dun use 1.0, use 0.3 or 0.2 or 0.1)
it will change the baseband to 46 or 54 nt sure, but it does downgrade. but make sure YOUR ROM IS BASEBAND-DOWNGRADABLE or else your rom will be corrupted. you can also install a new rom AND FLASH IT RIGHT AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM THROUGH xREC.

Are you on stock rom? Have you modded your phone in any way? I am on att and using 2.1.71bb with custom rom.
The best way is flash stock X10a rom with FlashTool.
Stock X10a ROM: http://www.multiupload.com/SR8R1B5KII
FlashTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

good idea but it there a kernel integratet?
if yeah best thing is to extract the zip and combine the .sin datas to an ftf bundle so you just ceep it realy on stock than
do this
always remember.....
when you flash any rom through flashtool or xrecovery
DO WIPE DALVIC CACHE...BATTER STATS....PARTITION etc......
always do a clean wipe
or your x10i will keep on rebooting at the logo
Can I flash FXP106 on my FXP105?
My Baseband is .42 and i've got FXP from FXP103.
Any improvement from .42 to .62 baseband?
Thanks!!
Yes, just flash the baseband from .62 with Flashtool. Use the standard .62 .FTF file, untick 'Wipe User Data', and tick 'Wipe Cache', ' Exclude system' and 'Exclude Kernel'. Then, flash the latest FXP kernel, boot via recovery and flash the FXP update from there.
To be safe, make a nandroid backup via recovery first.
I'm not sure about the improvements from .42, through. I use the .36 baseband myself.
Thanks. But...I flash FXP106 on my FXP105 with baseband .42 without flash baseband .62 and worked well. I flashed baseband .62 now, and FXP106 is working well. Must I reinstall FXP106?
I'm Spanish, my english is bad, sorry.
No, you don't need to. It's just that FXP said that the latest builds require the latest baseband. Probably the later builds contain newer baseband libraries, which when used with older baseband would introduce minor glitches.
Baseband is on a separate partition from the ROM (/system) and kernel, afaik.
I hope this answers your question.
OK. Perfect!
Thanks!!
Firstly, sorry for bad english. Although I'll try to do my best here, I'm not american, nor english and I'm not very used with your language. My problem is simple and have been asked here before. The problem is that they guy who asked help wasn't very specific with his problem.
I have a ST25A, a latin american version of our Xperia U, which differs from your ST25i in its baseband (the modem). The ROMs we find here are all for ST25i and the baseband included is for the ST25i. Actually it kinda works with the ST25A model, but the signal is weak (even worse if you're not richie enough to pay for the best mobile service, which is my case).
Then I tried to flash the original ROM baseband for the ST25a, but for some reason, I wasn't able to boot my cellphone in flashmode. I tried everything I could try all around xda and other forums. Nothing worked. So, I couldn't use Flashtools to flash the baseband.
In another attempt, I tried to convert the original ROM from FTF (Sony format), to CWM, but I wasn't able to do that by myself (I'm not pro at this stuff and a friend of mine who knows about it a little better than me couldn't help either).
So I'm here creating this thread as my last attempt to have my ST25a with a CyanogenMod ROM, because without the right baseband it won't be possible. Below is a link of Sony's ST25a stock ROM:
http://sdrv.ms/1fDwMh1
(It's uploaded in my Skydrive account, so it shall not be a problem to download it)
I'm here to ask someone to convert it into something I can flash the baseband in my Sony Xperia U without needing the flashtool. To open the FTF file I used WinRAR (that actually seems to open every container format).
I don't know if I made myself clear, but it's not only a problem of mine, it probably is a problem all latin american owner of a Xperia U will have. If someone can help to extract the baseband and give me a tip on how to make it work in my Xperia U, I would really appreciate. If I didn't make myself clear enough for you to understand my problem, don't hesitate asking.
Thanks for your time and sorry for disturbing, oh, and Merry Christmas, ppl!
Peace,
Eduardo Barth.

You realy should explain what the problem is and how it is related to CynogenMod which for what I know change the system only.
What do you want a ST25i rom with ST25a modem? just copy the modem from the i ROM to the a ROM.
You do not realy need WinRAR or any other program, FTF is just a zip file, if you rename it to .zip you can just copy the files in windows explorer then rename it back to FTF (in command line)
Or you can just exclude the modem from flash when you flash ST25i RON and flash the modem only from the ST25a ROM.

The problem is that Sony's files have .SIN extension, which is not compatible with CWM recovery. I tried to convert it to CWM zip and had no success with that.
The main problem is that my cellphone doesn't recognize's the Flashtool, because it have a problem with it's USB connector. I can't simply flash the baseband, I need to convert the baseband form .SIN (sony) to CWM files. There are some tutorials that explain how to do that for the system partition, but I tried to do the steps for the baseband and it didn't work. That's why I'm here, trying to find help to do that.
My advise to you is, if you cannot flash with flashtool don't mess with your phone because if something will go wrong, abd something will go wrong, you lose your phone.

Yes, I know. The problem is that my phone currently is with a wrong baseband (modem) and the signal is always poor to gone, so I already have a dead brick in hands...
Anyway, thank you for your attention.
Could someone upload just the .69 kernel because I dont want to download the entire ftf just to flash the baseband.
Edit: My device is the D6503, so please upload the correct kernel version (I don't know if it is the .69 one or the .55 one)
Thanks in advance
P.S I want it because I want to give the drm restore zip a shot, and I think that it might work if the phone has the appropriate baseband.
Anyone??
