How do you change baseband? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Sorry to sound Noob but how do you change baseband? and does your firmware affect anything else?
I came from android 2.3.4 installed CWM and Root. Then Flashed Revolution HD 2.0.2 without updating to 4.1 Firmware first.
Does it affect something or nothing really?
I also want to know how to change basebands?

Baseband controls your radio chip... Unless you have network problems. I don't find a good reason to change it..

You can change baseband by flashing another one with flashtool, it's very simple and fast.
Anyway you need an ICS kernel to use an ICS rom, so you should flash the whole fw related to the android version of the rom you want to use, then install rom.

There are some ftf files around here which only contain the baseband. If you flash them you won't change your whole rom but baseband.

Could be that Kies also updated your bootloader.
Just try to flash an GB ROM.
If you experience any booting issue, you may have to flash an GB bootloader.
You can find the different bootloaders here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16781156&postcount=2
Just look for a grey box with red text.
You can flash the bootloader in PDA section of Odin - same way like for the ROM or kernel.

Heat issues usually solved by a wipe, modem change, kernel change.
If you have not wiped, it's a good time now, as you have to do it anyway when you go from ICS to GB.

[Q] Baseband version changed after restoring.

Hi guys,
Facing a problem, I had backed up my rom using temporary cwm. I changed to an aosp custom rom, used it for few hours and restored my rom again. But after restoring my build and csc version changed.
Any reason it got changed? Is it normal
What if I want my older versions back?
Fortunately i save my version details each time. The screenshots are of before backing up and after restoring.

It looks like you have the baseband version for ICS 4.0.4 ROM.
Have you tried flashing a stock ICS 4.0.3 kernel?

If i get a problem then I will for sure.
Just wanted to know, will it cause any problem or issue in usage, if I use a 4.0.4 baseband on 4.0.3 Rom?

I don't think so, but if you encounter any, then you should try flashing to a 4.0.4 ROM.

Switching Baseband - The easy way [ Tested on GB ]

Mod plz add this to sticky or link it in sticky
As we know there are two types of baseband's available for our device, old baseband which is used by froyo and some gingerbread rom's and new baseband that is used by gingerbread onwards.
To switch baseband you either need to flash baseband through lgmdp or flash firmware using kdz and both involves a substantial degree of risk of bricking your device.
What I will be telling will not actually change your baseband but will make the ROM compatible with the baseband you are using. So here it is how it goes.
-> If you are having old baseband and want to use new baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM
https://www.box.com/shared/jt2m8hl8jd6qul915z4g
-> If you are having new baseband and want to use old baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM
https://www.box.com/shared/r5l39a5ocaxr8zq1s46h
Note:- Patch for old baseband was originally made by adfadd and thats where idea came for creating a patch for new baseband. While the patch by adfadd is long lost in pile of threads, this is where this thread will come handy.
Flashing baseband through LGMDP cannot brick your device,only flashing full firmwares via LGMDp or KDZ_FW_UPD can have chance to brick

Manual search fix
Here is the libril.so for manual search fix. My friend tested it on new baseband and it works.
So, probably for all new basebands including funnysim may work for gingerbread, ics and jellybean. Please test it on and report.
Good job.

i looked into the zip file and found that a few lib files are added by flashing the patch. would this affect the performance? my phone works fine in 90% of the time. however, sometimes it is just too laggy to even answer calls. it could become normal after some time, say 30s ro 1min.
i dont have this problem when i was using roms based on the old baseband. so i am wondering what would the patch do to the system.
thanks.

those libs aren't going to affect performance in any way... its the ROM & kernel that affects performance.

False!
leaked stock JellyBean is out there. Official is not released.
And for the thread starter, search the forums. It's not hard to find how to root and start flashing your phone.

Stop asking FAQ and go read the guides or use search. Obviously you're not going to be the first person to ask this so stop expecting people to repeat answers.

He didnt say it was. Even so, the rom was "released" to testers, and "leaked" to public. Only final is released to public.

This to me seems that Ben101 says "Stock jelly bean is still not released", which krayndr then declares "False!"
I work in software; I differentiate between a leak and a release. "Released to testers" is not a release. We send many builds to testers before we have a release candidate.

Not sure why you're directing this question to me; is it because I said I work in software? That doesn't mean I work in developing software specifically for this device, or even for Samsung devices in general...
But if you're having issue with a leaked firmware, doesn't it make sense to go back to a released firmware?

I'm not sure if it's the leaked firm fault or something else. Sorry bothering you with my sh*t.
There's no STOCK FW at the moment. Just a leak for testing only. Just be patient.

but why we prefer GB > ICS > JB is that ur installation goes smooth without any issue and also rooting ICS is much easier (since lot of option's to do so) rather with GB.

PS- regarding EMMC bug it comes only with the stock kernel of ICS 4.0.4, while ICS 4.0.3 is safe from the same(EMMC bug)

Hi
First of all you need to root the phone. The best way to do that would be to flash cf-root compatible with your rom version. You can find exactly what your build is by checking settings > about phone
Find compatible cf-root kernel and put it in PDA in odin and flash... there are lot's of guides out there - won't be hard to find
Second, before you go further you need yoo updete your bootloader. So either flash ICS stock through odin (not recommended cause will unroot again) or flash bootloader through odin. Again there are proper guides for that...
Then you can upgrade to whatever you want...
Keep in mind that emmc cap bug does not exist in GB kernels. so you can use the CWM recovery in cf-root kernels for GB rather safely.
If you update to stock ICS then you need to keep an eye what kernel you're using to wipe data. Siyah and dorimanx are safe and I always use them.
Loads of roms out there, pure aosp, cm based, aokp based and the leaked sammy rom. Personally checked alot of each first three and also several versions of the leaked one... All good.
Word of edvice - do read more on those things. No matter how much expirience people who answer threads like that have, you'll never substitute your own knowledge and expirience.
Go on and root and enjoy the android world, mate. Best of luck

[Q] siyah galaxy s 2 question

ok so I have an unrooted galaxy s 2 I1900 running stock 4.0.4 and I was wondering to flash siyah on my device do I need a certain kernel or bassland version ?
Siyah ís a kernel... Just make sure you flash the right version. Information is available on www.gokhanmoral.com.

No, just flash Siyah v4 (.tar version) via ODIN. v5 also supports ICS but as far as I remember it had some issues.
ok well the kernel I want to flash is the newest for the galaxy s 2 (siyah v5.0.1) so am I ready to flash or is there anything I need to check or do first? BTW is there a possibility I can brick my phone because my mum won't be happy if I brick it
So what bugs does this kernel have that effects ics because im planning to do a nandroid backup then install cyanogen mod 10.1 jellybean?

You can flash it with Odin. Read about it first, so you won't end up bricking it because you've missed something. But if you follow the correct steps you won't brick it.

You can do a Nandroid back up after flashing Siyah. There won't be anything wrong with this back up.

Make sure you dont perform and wipes or cleans before flashing siyaah kernal. Your on 4.0.4 ics which the stock kernal that has the brickbug. I repeat be careful not to wipe, clean or backup anything before you install siyaah kernal. After you have, then its all good mate. Good luck.
