ROM 407 - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Baseband version is not matching with the ROM version!
I see GAUSB1A130500-US instand of GAUSB1A134700-EU
What to do to flash it in a correct way?

Try MultiFlasher. Then after installing the baseband files using MultiFlasher, install the DSC ROM, as it fixes a lot of bugs the 407 ROM has. DSC, as you likely know, is based off the 407 ROM. Its kernel also doesn't check for a matching baseband, so any baseband can be used with it.

Okay, its now showing 406... multiflasher doesnt have 407 amss and dsp1 files inside :L Do you know where can I get them?

Can't upgrade baseband on X10i

I can't upgrade my baseband higher than 52,when ever i try to upgrade i get unknown baseband.
if you are using a custom rom try using Dev Tools > Bad Behavior > Crash The System Server and wait the phone to reboot.
if you are in Stock ROM try reflashing baseband, i have used .52 and .54 in stock ROM without problems and .54 .55 in custom ROM
But,when i flash it to higher then 52 baseband like 54,it give me unknown baseband.
What ROM or firmware are you using?
Ei dude, I had experienced that when I played with different roms.I fixed it with SEUS and used Flashtool to root and change baseband again. Hope this would help you.

[Q] Baseband Question

currently I am on Mik_os's 2.3.4 CM7 rom with a baseband of v07u, my question: which baseband would I need to flash ? Also with flashing these basebands, what if I were to go back to froyo roms ie...devoid froyo final, void delta, or megatron ? Would I get stuck in boot loops or even worse take a chance at bricking my phone ? I get the whole concept that the reason to flash the new baseband is some GSM will work on offical GB roms.
mik_os's CM7 is still on version 10e baseband, therefore, it is *technically* a froyo based rom just rebuilt to BE gingerbread without the baseband.
So in that, it uses the old baseband. Same as froyo.
The only roms that require the new baseband are roms based off the new 2.3.3 released from LG.
you're welcome

I appreciate the help, but that didnt necessarily answer the question I was looking for was....with flashing the new baseband(s), which one is compatiable with all roms ? Say I wanted to right now flash to an official 2.3.x rom, than a few weeks later wanted to go back to roms like megatron,devoid froyo final,mik_os's cm7 ? I know I would have to flash the new baseband for the new roms but what would I do to have a working phone for the "technically based froyo" roms ?

You should get the old baseband to have #technically froyo based roms. This can be done by,
1. Flashing entire older official version rom (i.e.10a, b..) via KDZ or LGMDP.exe.
2. Easier? Just flash only baseband via LGMDP.

[Q] Stock Kernel?

Hi Guys,
Am currently on stock 407, but in settings>>About Phone, it shows that my Kernel version was some version of "perf" (couldn't recall exact string).
I was using several flavors of custom ROM before flashing stock 407. I then flashed Gkernel1.5.
I was wondering if there was any way to flash stock kernel? I tried flashing stock 407 again, but the kernel remains as Gkernel1.5. :\
On a sidenote, which would be the best Kernel for GB?
Help?

Thanks for responding. It'll be helpful if you can direct me to any helpful threads.
Before posting this, I've gone through most of the threads in the 5 subsections for Dell Streak 5.
Have also searched for kernels but the only ones that come up are the custom kernels:
Gkernel (both 1.5 and the X versions), DJ Steve's as well as the Phoenix being used by DSC0.66b. Nothing about the stock kernel.
The reason I asked is I did flash stock ROM but the kernel + amss + dsp1 did not change. It remained as whatever it was before I flashed. Had to manually flash the 407 amss and dsp1 files. Only thing missing to have a completely stock GB Streak is the kernel, and I can't seem to get it by flashing the stock ROM again (i tried).
Or maybe I'm not providing enough information for you to help me? Any help is much appreciated. Just need to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Are you flashing through StreakMod using a zip or are you using the stock recovery and flashing factory update.pkg.... If you are flashing factory packages then it should flash EVERYTHING, and you may need to do it several times for it to "take" the flash fully

Flashing Stock Kernel

So I want to go back to stock (just been getting battery problems in MeanROM) so I downloaded the stock ROM, and the original thread said I can flash the stock kernel. What exactly would that do? And do I need to do it?
Edit: My current Kernel version is 3.08-01680 and my baseband is 1.05.11, is that the original baseband version that came out with 1.22.651.3?

The kernel or boot.img is baked into the rom .zip so just flash as normal it really only changes if you flash one by itself

Baseband links for 2.2.2 eg GAUSB1A136000?

Hi,
Can someone help point me to a valid mirror for 2.2.2 basebands?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948 is useful but the links are dead and its not in wiki either.
My current baseband GAUSB1A134700-EU needs to change to something higher eg. GAUSB1A136000.
Thanks very much.
use tool in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12231991 its simple & easy you can flash any baseband (included) you want.

Thanks. I found this tool too... the multibaseband flasher does only the amss part but not the dsp1.
So I used the multiflasher which does both ... great. However it's limited to certain roms only eg. 345, 351, 353, 354, 366 and 406.
The 351 works for me ... thats great for a step. :good:
It'd be nice if someone can share the 360 baseband files ... anyone?
Can you please tell me why you need to flash 360 baseband ?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
351 seriously lags and 360 seems to be the latest retail rom according to wiki, so that's why I wanted it hopefully it will be better. If all else fails, I could go to simple streak custom rom.

I'm on cm7 now with 354 baseband, running well without lag.

The reason it's limited to certain ROMs is those ROMs were the only ones at the time that had their baseband files readily available. Also, I hope you went all the way to the end of the thread, since I went and combined both of UKSheep's tools into one new tool: Multiflasher. The baseband function was tested on my Streak and it pushed both amss and dsp files correctly.
The best Froyo baseband to use would be 366, rather than 360.
My streak is originally under retail region rom (00) so the highest possible rom is 360 according to wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5). I've read few times in xda that I can't change roms to different region. Furthermore, if using custom roms eg. CM7, does it matter which baseband I'm using cos it gets overwritten anyway, correct?

Yes, I got the multiflasher from end of the thread. Baseband 366 is different region (12) from my current region (00) ie. will have issues. I was just hoping that someone/ somewhere has active links similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948

Ahh, I thought you were using a custom ROM, not stock. So why haven't you switched to a custom ROM like DSC, which is the custom ROM that is closest to stock, being based off the 407 ROM from Dell.
Switching ROMs from one region to another can be done with ease. Just make sure the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM.
I wanted stock 'cos sooner or later, I'd have to sell this or pass it on to someone and it had to be stock condition, in case they have problems or didn't know how to fix.
As for custom roms, I noticed most threads have dead links already and didn't want to go there (more Q&A), I only have simple streak custom rom with me at the moment.
As for switching region ROMS, I thought it had to do with matching existing baseband with recovery/rom, not sure. Will probably backup and give it a try but again the latest Gingerbread ROM in multiflash is 406 ... anyone got baseband for 407?

If you're installing 407 you don't need to install the baseband beforehand. The 407 ROM package will install the 407 baseband at the same time as the ROM itself is installed.
Custom ROMs require flashing a matching baseband if the kernel isn't modified to ignore baseband mismatches.
Hmmm... I didn't see the stock roms installing the basebands before this eg 451 and 460, that's why I raised this thread to begin with and now using MULTIFLASH to do so.

Unlikely, unless installing one of the stock deodexed ROMs or a custom ROM. Standard operating behavior for all stock ROMs from Dell is to install all the components (recovery, baseband, system). The baseband MUST match the ROM, just as the region of the ROM must match the region of the recovery. If the stock ROMs were to omit installing the baseband you would constantly encounter baseband mismatches.
My Streak is an unlocked (region 00) model. Brand new it came with 347 on it. I posted a picture of the about page, and the baseband for that unit was GAUSB1A134700-US. When I upgraded to 351 and 360 the baseband changed both times to GAUSB1A135100 and GAUSB1A136000. When I started using custom ROMs was when I had to install the baseband files separately. In my case, I flashed the 406 baseband (GAUSB1A140614) instead of 407 (GAUSB1A1406214) to install the DSC ROM.
Stock deodexed ROMs and custom ROMs are not in Dell's package format and do not have the baseband files included within them. Thus it's necessary to flash the baseband separately. That is what the baseband portion of MultiFlasher is for. The only other reason to use MultiFlasher is to install a new recovery, either one of the two custom recoveries we have available (StreakMod or ClockworkMod) or to flash a stock recovery so as to flash a stock ROM.
My basebands don't get updated when using stock rom and recovery files downloaded from wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5 . That's why this thread was raised. If you try one from there and works, then there's something wrong with my streak.
Considering that I downloaded both 351 and 360 from there, you have a problem with your Streak. Especially as the Dell Streak Flashing Guide on the wiki has this little gem about updating the baseband.
Updating baseband
(Recommended: Create a nandroid before starting)
Install Matching Stock rom
(Optional: Reinstall custom recovery and restore nandroid)
