Whats the deff betwen Cyanogen and Froyo
and if i want to upgrade to Cyanogen and etc i need the new baseband?
Please help me i will appreciate that
I use the .54 baseband only cuz its compatible with most of the ROMS. But that is personal preference.

Baseband information
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960527
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
And The 2.1.1.A.0.6 software
get it here: http://rapidshare.com/#!download|504l36|452584464|E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Generic.zip|116883

Dude, isn't that just for X10? Mine is X10 Mini.. E10a wouldn't that be a problem?
No isn't a problem.Flashtool is for all Xperia family.

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?
cheers,
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,
eveilbarcode.

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)

userdata
btw I did not flash userdata.sin and kept my apps and settings.
So far so good.
Hello, i have an xperia x10 bought thru Atnt. At the time , it had the following specs-
firmware 2.1-update1 base 2.165 kernel 2.6.29 built 2.1.a.0.492
I rooted it, and installed Wolfs GW. After installing, i flashed the given kernel+baseband file - 2.3.3 kernel and baseband .71
Now the phone worked, and the new specs it gives are -
version 2.3.3 base 2.1.71 kernel 2.6.29 built 3.0.1.g.0.75
Now should i worry about the baseband being different? although the phone works fine with these new settings, should i flash a 2.165? Please help, i am a noob to this. Thanks.
No, new baseband comes with Gingerbread, so kept it as it is now.
