Has anyone put the new Rogers rom on a locked ATT unit?
Any market problems?
Any problems removing Rogers apps?
I THINK want to go to one of the custom roms but I'm only on Baseband 2.0.46
and I don't have Dual Touch installed. But it seems that I'm required to update to the higher bb at least, and though I see a BB update only thread, it's unclear if all basebands are compatible with all SE 2.1 update-1. And then I would still have to update to dual touch prior to installing a custom rom.
Since these are two independent flash requirements, and it seems that I have to update to some rom higher than 504 anyway, so I was wondering if I could just go to the Rogers one.... getting dual touch and a higher baseband right off the bat in an official package in one shot, and check it out prior to deciding to move on.
Different basebands work with different firmwares and kernels. You can mix and match, to some degree (for instance, .55 baseband works with .435 or 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW), but there's really no reason to.
I own an AT&T X10a, and I always use the X10i Global Generic firmwares. All the features without all the crap.
Check out the link in my signature for an optimized version of the .435 firmware (dualtouch, etc). Follow the instructions, there's a file for flashing the new kernel and baseband on there.
Good luck!

But even your firmware says I have to flashtool a higher baseband to get it work prior. (Shouldn't you update your screen shots, you show bb 2.0.46 when you really mean 2.0.54) Though what you've put together is very interesting. Do you still have all the SE apps, too, in the collection of applications? (Just asking, I know they have apk's available.)
I'm just trying to avoid flashing multiple times now*, do a straight 2.1.1.A.0.6 update and flash only once and get higher baseband, dual touch and whatever other tweaks there are which don't require flashing. There's no LAM/NAM generic of this version yet?
*flashtool for me a PITA, because I don't have VISTA/Win7 computers generally available and it works better on that than XP which is problematic due to the SE usb drivers which sometimes freeze it in flash mode. I am getting a decent tax refund, I suppose it's time to upgrade to sandybridge and Win7 (since the first SP is out) before they announce Win8.
Been looking for an answer online and can't seem to find one, my girlfriend bought a used bell gs2 and when i plug it in kies it tells me it has the latest software yet it seems that 2.3.3 as been out for a long time and should have been updated by now no?
Thanks

If you check this thread here UGKG2 is the only firmware bell has put out, so if thats the one you have, then yes, thats the only firmware there is, blame bell for being slow.
If you want to flash a new upto date rom, follow this guide, it also has download links, KK5 is generally a good 2.3.6 firmware at the moment, dont go for the ICS roms, there buggy.
It also should be non wipe aka you shouldnt lose anything as its stock firmware to stock firmware, but no promises and you would be advised to backup stuff first.
Hi.
I am quite new to the Streak 5 and I flashed the Custom Rom DSC 1.6.
Unfortunately I now have a bad speech quality in calls.
Sometimes I cannot understand the other sometimes I cannot be understand.
I live in Germany.
Can you tell me which baseband do I have to use?
Unfortunately in the german Board nobody answers me, but they are using an original Rom with custom Kernel called Minimal Streak.
This is based on 351 Baseband.
Is this the baseband I have to flash for Germany?
Or is the baseband not based on countrys?
I'd personally recommend 366 or 369.
This means that is a Softbank Baseband.
Can you tell me what that means?
I thougt I need a 00 region Baseband. (Yes I know the Rom ignores the region)
Baseband files are flashed through Fastboot, thus there's no need to match the region of the ROM with the region of the recovery.
Thanks for the answers
But one question:
What is the 00 - 14 number?
I know, that is 14 for Olleh, etc. as the wiki says.
But what does that mean exactly for another device?
The world was divided into regions by Dell. Regions usually represent specific carriers although they may also represent specific countries, e.g. China. The numbers are Dell's internal codes for specific regions. As you figured out, region 14 is for Olleh KT phones. 00 is the region Dell used for unlocked Streaks available direct from them. The complete list of regions (pulled from my work with Multiflasher): 00 Retail, 11 Hong Kong, 12 Softbank (Japan), 14 Olleh KT (South Korea), 15 China, 21 O2 (UK), 31 AT&T (US), and 32 Rogers (Canada).
What this means for Dell devices is simple: there is code within the recovery image that checks for the proper flag in the firmware package. If the two match, then the recovery allows the installation to proceed. If the two do not match, the recovery will throw up an error and halt the installation at that point. I believe most non-Dell devices don't have such a check mechanism within their recoveries. I can confirm that HTC doesn't use such a check. The HTC Liberty phones were branded as the HTC Aria here in the US. The European HTC Liberty was named the Gratia. I installed a Gratia ROM onto an Aria without any difficulty whatsoever.
So, for other devices, unless they're Dell I wouldn't worry too much about the region check. That's something that is virtually unique to Dell.
So the region is nothing more than a flag?
It is not some code, which frequency to use, how to react on calls, how loud the speaker is or something?
Is there a list, which baseband has which properties?
(Except that most are satisfied with 366 and 369)
That's right. But before I continue I do need to clarify something. I mentioned that the baseband files were flashed through fastboot, thus you didn't need to match the ROM to the recovery in that instance. However, in order for the ROM to work properly, the baseband and kernel need to be of the same region or else the home, menu, and back buttons will flash repeatedly. The kernel itself checks the baseband's flags to see if everything matches.
Normally, when installing a stock ROM baseband mismatches don't occur since the baseband is flashed with its accompanying ROM using the matching recovery. The problem occurs however on custom ROMs that use a stock ROM as their base, e.g. DSC. For DSC, _n0p_ recently removed the region check from the kernel so that any baseband could be used on the ROM, though he recommends 366. Before that, DSC users were limited to using the 407 baseband. Cyanogenmod, ROMs based off Cyanogenmod, and MIUI I don't believe ever had the check code, and thus you could flash any baseband you wanted.
The baseband itself contains the low-level code that controls the various radios and possibly the speaker volumes as well. I don't know enough about the innards of the baseband files to tell you more. What I will tell you is that I'm not aware of any such list as what you ask for, because such a list would require disassembling the baseband repeatedly to find the differences, and such a list would be of dubious benefit in any event.
My advice to you? Install the 366 or 369 basebands and use the Phoenix kernel. You should be good to go.
Thanks a lot
Not exactly right.
Region check never existed.
Kernel checks BB version (3 or 4) and blinks on mismatch. Disabled on Phoenix kernel and it's derivatives.
Well, thanks for the correction.
One more question to this.
Is a softbank baseband 366 good for central europe or shoult I install the one most devices 351 here have?
Are the frequencies used in softbank 366 and 351 different?
(except speech quality is better in 366, I know.)
dont dsc 2.0 uses 366bb by default? or it is included as default streakmod flash?
You cannot flash AMSS/DSP from recovery (or at least i did not find a way so far).
So no defaults here.
I personally use 369 as it's the latest baseband released.
yeah, I already know that
But what about the frequencies :crying:
And what about them?
Supported GSM/3G bands are in hardware.
sorry.. not streakmod flash.. i mean fastboot flash...
As I understand it the baseband tells the phone which frequencies to use. That means if its a Japanese baseband it tells S5 to use japanese frequencies even though the S5 is not capable to use them due to hardware limitations.
The same with EU version.
Softbank is japanese. It tells S5 to use japanese frequencies. AFAIK some of them are identical to EU but not all. So the connectivity is worse than using retail baseband.
I don't think it's the case for Streak.
366/369 simply makes WCDMA default, that's all.
369bb? heh.. nice
Hello to everyone! I received as present an LG Optimus Sol (E730). I changed some roms and now I've got the stock SOL LX by poogie with Kernel with sweep2wake,BLN,GPU OC etc by xpaum. Since I put the first rom I always had problems with GPS signal. I tryed all the possible ways to fix it (APGS patch, modified gps.conf file in different ways, ecc...) but it's still not working good. I mean, using "gps test" after 10 min it can get 3 satellites but if I use google maps it is always on searching for gps signal. I come from Italy and the original firmware was the v10b brand vodafone. Now I have the v10b no brand. Are they the same? Because I guess the problem is related with the baseband and I don't want to come back to a vodafone brand version but I want my gps back!! What can I do? Any suggestion? Thank you in advance...cheers!
Hi All,
I have just flashed the Generic AU rom for my Z2, and would like to know if I can now just flash the baseband from my Telco's AU rom. That way I would have the best of both worlds - no bloat and a fine tuned baseband.
Cheers
Doesn't make much sense to me. The D6503 (and 02) is a global model, I believe that all firmwares have the same baseband. For example: The latest firmware 23.1.A.1.28 has the 8974-AAAAANPZQ-00038-40 baseand. The US, GEL and ES firmwares they all have the same baseband number. (I've tested them all)
Ah no worries, thanks for the reply. I've only ever had Samsung and htc phones and the different carriers in Australia all had different radios on the same phone.
I can flash with impunity now, and that makes me happy!
