what is differnce between baseband and firmwire ? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what is differnce between baseband and firmwire ?

The baseband is what interfaces between the firmware and the radio hardware. It controls the phone signal, data connection, wifi, Bluetooth... anything radio related.
Firmware (a very loosely defined term) is the actual software running on the phone, meaning android itself.

to install android 2.3 i should download baseband .71 file or firmware file ?

Obviously the firmware file.
As stated above, baseband is merely an interface between the firmware and radio components of the phone. While the firmware is the operating software itself (and usually the firmware package includes the baseband already).

Basebands collection for X8

I've made bundles for FlashTool, for X8i and X8a, with basebands 006 and 015.
Kernel and baseband are related to each other, so if you have baseband 006, you'll have 2.0.2.A.0.24 kernel, and with baseband 015 you'll get 2.1.1.A.0.6 kernel.
If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006, you'll get infinite boot loops. This can be fixed by simply flashing correct bundle (kernel/baseband).
This will NOT wipe userdata!
All basebands are in Xperia X8 folder on Mediafire.
Currently, these basebands are available:
X8i - E15i
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
X8a - E15a
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
Every baseband version is: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534040xy where xy is either 06 or 15, depending on which baseband you flash.
Update: jerpelea's CM7, racht's ports, as-mario's MIUI and ponanovn's MiniCM port are all made for latest kernel and baseband 015. Nice to see that, thanks
Enjoy, and be careful, don't brick the phone, and if you do, don't blame me, you're doing this on your own risk!
Possibly a method for restoring signal issue when SEUS fails
Reserved for future use.

Both have 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW's kernel, while amss and fota files differ.

It's for X8i version ONLY! If anyone has got 2.x flash files for X8a, give them to me and I'll make baseband bundle
X8i
Baseband 006 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_006.7z
Baseband 015 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.7z
Don't forget to update 7-Zip to latest version if you have problems with opening archive.

what is the advantage of this?? not meaning to be rude
The advantage is that you can change baseband as it please you. Why you'd want to I have no clue
Context: http://source.android.com/porting/telephony.html
All four basebands are now tested, packed and uploaded to Mediafire
good job !
hi i did yesterday flash the bundle for x8i
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
but the setting says that i have kernel
kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24

He said "If you try to flash latest kernel to phone with baseband 006"
not to flash latest baseband to phone with old kernel. this is your status, you flash the latest baseband to old kernel.
what blagus said about infinite bootloops is when you flash the latest kernel (2.1.1) to phone with baseband 006, your case is the opposite. understand?
I try to flash the whenever i flash it says driver error to reinstall driver in flashtool folder, PC Companion run ok and install gordon gate also show i got latest driver,
but still got driver need to reinstall, what is the problem expert
Does PC Companion get your device into flash mode? If so, then redownload flashtool. If not - get your X8 connected and go into hardware manager of your computer, find your connected phone and erase all the drivers, then reinstall PC Companion for new drivers.
done that, uninstall everything and driver,
start all over again but result still the same,
keep asking to install and reinstall driver from driver folder

My X8 firmware is 2.1 update 1 with baseband 06 build version 2.0.2.a.0.24
I have an infinte loop when using this file "Baseband 006 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_006.7z"
EDITED:
when i use "Baseband 015 - X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.7z", i have my baseband in 015, but the build number become 2.0.1.a.0.47.
if i want to upgrade to 2.1.1.a.0.6, what baseband should i use?
Hello guys, just one quick question, why is it that upgrading to baseband 15 from 06 the phone requests the sim network unlock code?
I am using the same SIM card, and the sim card belongs to the phone operator, so i don't understand why is it asking for network unlock code if it is the same sim.
I have found a couple of threads here on xda that recommend to click on the Dismiss button, but if i do that, i don't get any signal.
I have donwgraded again to 06, when i did the upgrade to 15 i also installed floyo 1.0 via xrecovery and everything loaded perfectly except that i have no signal, so it is useless.
I have tried going manually to the settings of mobile networks, but it says that it is not able to register on the network.
Thank you for any tips,
Regards

Did you tried flashing your phone by SEUS to upgrade this directly from SE???
Thanks for replying biscoitu, the phone came with 1.6, so i changed the SI because mine was not ready for 2.1. The new software that was updated via PC Companion is:
2.0.1.A.0.47 with baseband 06, 2.1-update1
And it is working fine, but now the pc companion says that its up to date, and it is not updating to the latest baseband, so i downloaded the ones included in this thread and flashed with flashtool, when i reboot i get asked for the network unlock code, if i dismiss it does not work.
I don't understand why it asks for it, if it is the same sim card. I have visited a couple of websites that sell codes for the x8 but when i confirm with my IMEI they say that they don't have available.

[Q] Baseband Changing

Is it safe, to change, to flash just the baseband, while you are on a custom rom?
I mean, suppose,
I am on Freex10beta4, a 2.2 rom, with baseband 2.1.54. Everything is fine working. Then baseband 2.1.67 and 2.1.61 came up recently?
Can I change the baseband only? Or do I need to flash the whole upadate (2.1.67 and its system?

Yes, of course you can! I myself have been doing this quite a lot lately,
as I was trying the new basebands. You need to download an ftf bundle that includes only the baseband files. Check here.

Update samsung S2 to 2.3.4 in INDIA

How do i update the complete mobile software to 2.3.4 in INDIA? Not only the firmware, im talking about the complete mobile software update. Is there anything called as complete mobile software update?
Did anyone in INDIA tried with the "Software update" option that is in mobile?
Settings-about-software update-check for updates ??
When i try it in my mobile it says connecting to server and after a while it says connection failed and exits...
A Firmware update is a Full software update. India don't have the 2.3.4 released officially yet like many countries. If you want 2.3.4 now the only option is to download and flash an unofficial leaked ROM via Odin.
OTA updates don't work on Indian devices, so that error message is normal.
Regards.
Thanks for the reply, If we flash the unofficial firmware will that work well? I mean is there any difference between the firmwares that are released in India and in other countries? Can you please provide me the thread details which have the info to update to 2.3.4 and the steps to do it....Also is there anything new in 2.3.4?
I never used any leaked firmware and won't use one, so can't tell you any difference if there is any, but there are plenty of our members are using it and they haven't stated any proboem.
You can find all firmwares from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

I guess these are just kernle updates, Have you checked the samfirmware.com which has the complete update for S2, it has PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC files.
Any idea what these files are?
Got some idea after seeing the thread posted by you. But does the other country update files work on the phones that are purchased in INDIA?
Every firmware can be flashed on any device. Samfirmware and that thread I provided is same, only Samfirmware has fewer ROM's.
Kernel and Firmware are two different things.

I have downloaded the Kernel_GTI9100XXKH3 and updated to my mobile using the ODIN, but when i say *#1234#, it still shows the same old version
PDA: I9100XWF3
PHONE: I9100DDKE4
CSC: I9100DDKF3
And in settings-about
Kernel Version: [email protected] - 15 #2
so i guess only the kernel version is changed but the firmware is at same level

Hey bro ..
Can u tell me that after upgrading to the leaked 2.3.4 , is the UI same .?
i.e the samsung interface , homescreen etc .??
Also , can u please tell me that when the brightness is maxed out ( 100%) , is the screen too bright .??
Like mine is okay at 100% but not too bright , so i was thinkin if there is an issue with my device .
Reply asap ....
Its very rasy to upgrade... Just follow the steps.. Odin 1.85 add the KH3 tar file to the pda link(not the rar file of 200 mb but around 500 it dhould be), put phone in download mode (vol down, home and then also hold power button, vol up to confirm) connect, make sure repartition is NOT checked in Odin, then Flash!

Look on www.sammobile.com/firmware for samsung firmware.Telia is not listed, also not on check fus. So i think you need this rom http://www.hotfile.com/dl/163050326/a3cfdf1/I9300XXBLFB_I9300NEEBLF1_NEE.zip.html for the Nordic countries. Install Triangle Away (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114) first before flashing the rom with Odin to reset the flash counter. After you flashed the rom do a data/factory reset. Check first if the above rom i mentionedis the right one.
Was reading abit more (do not want to be stucked with a broken phone doing my vacation), found this is the I9300XXBLG6 the newest firmware and does it work for us on Telia in Denmark?

Better check on Telia`s website for the latest firmware. You might flash the rom in your post, however you may have to change the modem for better reception.

If i flash the new firmware again, do i need to root the phone again or does it "keep" the root i made earlier... Sorry for all the stupid questions i'm an old iphone fart. :silly:
I tried to search for a sammy wiki or something to become a little more clever about rooting, rom and firmware.
As i see it:
The firmware is kinda the phone bios, doesnt matter if you running a hacked version of the system or not.
The ROM is the "system" it might be stock or cyanogen etc.
You have to have a hacked firmware to be able root your phone.... Or am i totally wrong here?

If you buy Mobile Odin Pro and flash the firmware with that app you will keep root and you don`t loose no data. If you flash with Odin on your pc you will loose root and your user data will probably be deleted.
The firmware i just linked is it not possible to root using that and odin nonpro? Do i have to use an older firmware then?

Flash it with Odin and root with CF Root 6.4. You can flash that firmware although i wouldn`t do it, it is a British Telecom provider rom. I would flash the rom in the 2nd post (nordic countries) wich i recommended. For instructions see m signature.

Yu can pull a modem and flash it .
Or download a cwm zip modem and replace the modem inside .
RIL possibly use GetRil from the market .
