I have no problem with using the flashtool, downloading the sin file, etc. But the step that says DO NOT let it boot and immediately go into xrecovery is what worries me. I love trying all the new ROMs, but am still always go back to a custom 2.1 because of the cam/videocam, plus no stereo bluetooth dropouts.
My question is, after I do this to update the baseband and flash 2.2 Beta 4 via xrecovery. Can I go back to my old custom 2.1 with older baseband via xrecovery and then switch back and forth via xrecovery afterward? I just don't feel like flashing the entire firmware, rooting, adding JIT v2, then removing all of the SE apps AGAIN for like the 10th time.
u can install any rom on .435 firmware..
u cant install beta 4 on any lower firmware(.24,etc)..
so update to .435 and stay..
happy flashing

Im not entirely sure thats true because it seemed that those with the newer baseband seemed to be having issues with other roms prior to z's beta 4... can someone confirm?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
its mentioned clearly in z's post about using the latest base band. as for Steve's recommendation of not letting it boot, i guess i must have missed it when i upgraded the base band while on 2.1 customised, but the only worst thing that happened was i didn't got any signal on my phone, everything else worked fine, it didn't mattered coz i was to install free x10 v4. and its a fine job done by z. the ROM is great. add green glow theme on it, and nothing's like it.
about xrecovery backup able to change your base band back with restore, i haven't tried it myself, i guess xrecovery devs will be the best guys to check if you're not sure.

Hi guys..
im still on baseband 2.0.46, i saw the new FreeX10 beta4 was fixed to run on .54 or something?
how do you update the baseband when using a custom rom? do you have to revert back to the official rom or can i update using a custom one?
Not 100% sure but i think we have to flash se dualtouch rom, then root and do the whole install thing again unfortunately. Imma do this later unless someone has an easier way.

Yesterday while a number of people were debating which route to go, I did it the long way. I had spare time early yesterday morning so I decided to give it a try. Made a backup of my beta 3 in xrecovery, flashed to the generic 2.1.54 baseband, rooted it, installed xrecovery then installed beta4 + gapps. Everything is working fine for me but you don't have to go that route. Others have found a shorter way. If you're on Zs 2.2 beta 3 already, try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3904
Credit goes to KULANV for that post. Also if you got time to spare, read pages 380 onwards, quite a few people have tried that and other similar instructions.
Hope that helps.
I'm currently running FreeX10 B3H1, I see that B4 is out and all it apears to do is add support for the new Baseband... is there any notice improvements with the updated baseband?
I'm also not entirely sure what the baseband does
The baseband is the radio of the phone, so basically it controls your call quality, signal, mobile network, etc..
As fire why to upgrade, I can honestly say I haven't noticed any real benefits since I updated. However, as time progresses newer roms are going to be based on this version so if you want to keep flashing custom roms eventually you will have to upgrade anyway..
Hi,
I attempted to install Beta 4 last night (first time installing FreeX10). But now it is in a non stop reboot cycle and will not get any signal. It stays on for about a minute and then reboots everytime. Having read more on this I think it could be Baseband related. When I check the settings it says Baseband is unknown.
Can I upgrade my Firmware to X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL in order to get the correct Baseband and then reinstall FreeX10? And if so, Can I use Flashtool to install X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL without issues?
(My phone is an X10i by the way, should I use a different Firmware before re-installing FreeX10B4?)
Thanks in advance!

You gotta make sure you update to 435 before installing freex10 beta 4 to get all benefits...

no you don't...
flashing just the kernel and the baseband through flashtool has the EXACT same effect...
Hello, I managed to update normal freex10 beta 4, restarted a few times, all normal, but after restarting, could not find the signal, has to do with the model of my phone being X10A? is written in the corner all the time "no service"
Were u on the right baseball?
Try flashing . 435 firmware with flashtool Nd than freex10 4
edit: stupid auto correct lol i meant to say right baseband.

With installing .435 yes.
ok... let me see
the fw 435 is the 2.1 eclair, right?
then i have to go back to 2.1 and try again with freex10 beta 4 using xrecover?
dont understand what ur saying.
flash .435 with flashtool if u dont already have that firmware, then use flashtool to root, jit, and install xrecovery. flash froyo with xrecovery.
sorry, my english isn't very well
i did the flash for the 435 fw and went back to 2.1 eclair, ok, now working
but i really wanna froyo, i installed againd by the same way, but still no working
the system is loaded, but without service and restarting
theres something else to do?
well
i installed the beta 3 with xrecovery, and now the service is working, but, i guess that theres something wrong, the baseband of my cellphone now is 2.0.46, but i need the baseband 2.1.54 for beta 4 works?
thanks

Yes, you need .435 for beta 4.
strange... i already tryed the 435 and didn't work
when you say .435 you mean the 2.1_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL?
i installed this, but when i try to install the beta 4 with xrecovery, my cellphone can't find the service of my sim card
what i did wrong? =/

read the stickies in the q&a section
Use it when your baseband is 54+ and want to try out J's cm7 rom or rdannar's GB Miui rom or Arc rom.
Tested working on J016 and J017 and rdannar's GB Miui - for stock kernel only.
Do it at your own risk and it's not supported by J
Patch it with cm7bb54.zip
Restore back the original with cm7bb52.zip (if you decide to change base band)
This patch won't solve any problem that may come with the rom (such as wlod)
Note: This patch won't work on Trip's GB Miui
pls hit Thanks button if it helps you
I want to make sure I got this all correct:
1. If on bb.54+, flash cm7bb54.zip to patch/use cm7
2. If previously flashed to bb.52, flash cm7bb52.zip to go back to bb.54+
Would I have to flash each zip file every time I want to go back and forth between each rom?
Thanks cobrato!
1.correct
2. only if you decide to flash bb52 again(for any reason) and still want to use cm7 flash cm7bb52.zip
no. if you are flashing a new rom which requires bb54 and you are on bb54 then no need to flash this zip.
Can use this patch for bb.55 ?
I finally gave in and left FreeX10 to test out CM7.
It feels pretty stable but there's some issues I sense still need tweaking and I'll post after I'm done here.
QQ; what improvements have you sensed using .54 over .52, both in general and with CM7?
Personally i don't think there are any improvements. But some people just want a higher number. In fact some of the functions in .54 are broken like auto-time settings.

Not correct.....
If you are in north america .49/.52 causes many issues, especially when it comes to dropped calls , failed text messages and slow 3g+ speeds.
On .55 the failed text issue is fixed completely, I get much better call signal and faster 3g+.

Hi, I hope anyone can help me. I have the 2.0.46 Base band, and android 2.1. I can't update it to 2.3 because my usb is broken. The phone it's rooted and I have xrecovery 0.3, it's any way to use a patch and installa a GB room??

Not without the new kernel, the only way it is possible is if the bootloader gets unlocked

Your usb port, or usb cable?
You can't install the kernel needed for GB without flashtool.
So if your usb port is broken, maybe look on ebay for spare parts to fix it.
If your usb cable is broken, buy a new one.
Good luck
sorry but how do i apply this patch? i'm on BB54 with a broken usb connector
i guess this might be (all steps via xrecovery)
1.- install patch
2.- install 2.3.3 rom (any rom available)
3.- install custom kernel (zKernel might be)
is this correct?
thanks in advance
Hi guys, first, my native language is spanish, so, be patient with me , Ill try to be clear hehe
Well, I have a Xperia U (ST25a) it had a baseband with termination in 9, but one day when I decided to install the last rom available for the ST25a i noticed that the baseband changed from EC09 to EC01 (now is P2H_EC01), so, here is my question, Can this little change do a mess with my Inernet conection? The 3G signal seems fine, and the browser works good but its IMPOSSIBLE to update or download any app from the Play Store!, I did a few things thinking that maybe was my version of Play Store but it only works when i connect it to Wi-Fi, any ideas?, Last night i installed the rom 89 (pirej debranded one) but the problem persist...could be a problem of my operator???

st25a and st25i have different basebands. The .89 version if am not wrong is for st25i version. So i think you have to flash st25a baseband. Take a backup and try this one http://d-h.st/ON8. Hope works. But remember to take a backup in case something goes wrong buddy.
Thanks, but i've 2 questions
1:I just have to flash by flashtool?
":How I can do a backup of my current baseband?
Thanks again

De nada!
1) No. You have to flash via cwm. Do you know how to do it?
2) Via flashtool from the rom you are currently using flash only baseband. Don't know if you can restore but i am sure you can flash baseband,
