I have an xperia x10i
Firmware version:2.1-update1
Baseband version:2.1.54
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number:2.1.A.0.435
I have rooted my phone using superoneclick and have xrecovery installed.I have little bit experience with custom roms as i used to install custom roms for my friends lg p500 but i am a little confused with the baseband version.
Can someone help by telling me which custom rom can i flash to using xrecovery.I really like this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16125620&postcount=1
Can i upgrade to this?
Should i change the baseband?
Is there any good custom rom that i can install without changing baseband?

but befor flash the baseband before installing ROM thru xrecovery...
Thank me if it helped !!
So i have to currenlty flash to .71 baseband now and then only install 2.3.3 ROMs?or shld i flash aftr installing 2.3.3?
And is there a way to flash the basband using xrecovery?Problem is that my usb port is loose and dont knw when it will disconnect
And should i unlock the bootloader first?
or can someone tell me the best 2.1 ROM out there so that i dont have to flash to a new baseband till i get my port repaired

the tittle is the question, can i install on XFree10 beta 4 rom, a 2.3 rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364)?
should i update baserand? im running now 2.1.54.
it is of course possible, through flashtool or xRecovery
as for the baseband, u have to be really careful as some roms uses a different baseband.
so be sure u flash the baseband first before you flash the rom
He mentioned is possible, but backup your current ROM and try yourself
I'm attempting to install the new Zmod Cyanogenmod 7.1 but am encountering problems with xrecovery unable to read the SD/card when installing. Supposidly the new version of xrecovery will fix my issue but when I looked at the thread listed "2.3 STOCK ROM" as a requirement.
Now I cant update to the official 2.3.3 rom as im on O2UK, but I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 (on baseband 0.52) so will I still be ok to update to the new version of xrecovery?
Also just a quick question as its been a while since I installed a new rom, it's baseband first (any .71?). My phone will still be rooted, busybox still installed, etc, as I've done all this before? Then install new .zip via xrecovery?
(I've already read the newbie threads so please don't just point me there, simple yes/no answers will suffice. I'm just a little confused about going from custom install to custom install.)
edit: could this be a problem with going from a 0.52 baseband to a 1.71? This thread talks about 0.54 but could it be something simiar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053221
install xRecovery-0.3 (GBready) using flashtool

He needs to install baseband .71, better if he just installed gb and root it.
from 2.1 or 2.2 baseband less then 2.1.71
u need flash 2.3.x room 1st after that use flash tools flash baseband 2.1.71....
if from 2.1/2.2 u flash baseband 2.1.71 after flash the 2.3.x rom that xrecovery cant use anymore,
u neef flash via flash tool to baseband to 2.1.67, do it from 2.1/2.2 as well

So install the zmod 7.1 .zip through my current version of xrecovery first, then use flashtool to upgrade the baseband to .71, root and then install the new xrecovery (as in the first reply)?

I might give this a try first as at least I'll have a fully working x-recovery before I start. After I've installed it this way can I go back to my 0.52 baseband and CMod 7.0.3 if I want?

Well I installed xrecovery via the instructions on that link and my phone is now stuck on the SE loading screen. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid as my phone is not running stock 2.3.3. Can I have a fix please!
edit: Ok got it working by installing the .zip and flashing the .71 baseband. Thanks.
Guys currently i m on stock GB with francos kernel (2nd October) & want to flash cyanogen 6.5.8....
But it is not compatible with .35 based kernels so is there any way to downgrade to the old kernel other than flashing froyo through kdz....
I searched the whole forum but didn't found anything....
Plz tell me how to proceed??
1. flash baseband
2. flash ROM
3. flash kernel
OR
Any other sequence???
Normally, when you'll flash the rom, the kernel will be included in.
Search a bit for threads about baseband.
So which kernel is included in cyanogen????
& does this mean that my kernel will automatically revert back to old after flashing ROM????
The only way to use mik OS after flashing any 2.3.3 stock based ROM ( kernel is not the matter here ) other than KDZ is to flash a BASEBAND FIX given in the mik_OS main Thread but I think mobile data is disabled in that FIX. So, I think u're stuck bro without KDZ-ing !

1) I can root my device with SuperOneClick? YES? You should try Gingerbreak too used it when my o1 is till on froyo and its easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2) SuperOneClick will do all the work,and when he finish my phone will be rooted? yeah phone will be rooted but you must update superuser too. i think it's binaries aren't updated
about ROM:
1) What is "Old BaseBand" ? Refers to baseband before you updated to gingerbread 2.3.3.
2) Those ROM's are good for my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20340697
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 read reviews. if it matches your own way on how you will plan to use your phone then try it.
3) If those ROM are not good for my phone,what ROM should i install? idk im stuck with stock gb rom
4) Kernel: When i will install ROM,I have to install a custom Kernel Too? some roms have already packed with kernels. just remember .32 goes with .32 and .35 with .35 and the most important READ
5) After I rooted my phone,I installed Rom Manger.
Can i flash a ROM with ROM Manger?
thank you! Absolutely NO! just kidding.. yeah. its the easiest way to flash ROM to your phone
As far as I know.
Thanks.
But i still don't understand the Old BaseBand .
All O1 phones are Old BaseBand before they updated to 2.3.3?
So if my phone is android 2.2.1 he is old BaseBand?
If u have android 2.2.1 u can root using gingerbreak.
to root download gingef break
den instLl rom managed
install recovery ( make sure u hve wifi / fast net )
den choose any rom nd kernel
juat make sure kenel version nd roms kernel eg. mik 6.6.1 can use .35 kernel but 6.5.8 can !
i m dont suggestin rom & kernel bcoz i m also findin nice one !
i hope i helped !
press thanks !

U can install both of the roms as they support old baseband and it is not necessary to flash a diffrent kurnel with a rom
Since u have 2.2.1 root using gingerbreak and u need to flash recovery before flashing custom rom it is the first option in rom manager.

1) If you are already on 2.3.3(GB-GingerBread) then there is no need to flash .71 basenand as you are already on it.
2) if you want to reduce steps just upgrade to 2.3.3 official via SEUS or PCC
3) what do you mean both camera? we only have one back camera which will work perfectly
4) wifi will also be perfect

Do you suggest for going for official firmware or the ROM
if i m on 2.1 then i need to directly flash the custom firmware or install the original firmware ?

if your baseband is .71 then and then only you can upgrade to 2.3.3 because .71 can only be flashed via flashtool using usb.
