Which files are should I flash for baseband? - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

I flashed the UK Customized firmware earlier, for the fingerprint scanner.
I thought I had excluded the right files in order to keep the US baseband on my device but those must have been flashed too as I could not get a mobile signal after that.
The signal indicator showed 4G and 1 bar, but no data was being transmitted over the mobile data connection.
I've flashed back to the US firmware, but would like to try this again.
The files I had checked to exclude were: AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS_1, AMSS_FS_2 and MODEM. Are these the right files?

No. The APN is there.

Ok, so it's working now after flashing again and excluding the same files. Don't know why it didn't work before.
The one thing I did this time that I didn't do before was take the SIM card out before flashing and put it into my old Nexus 6, then checked the speed on that. It was slow still so I rebooted the Nexus 6 and it must have re-registered on the T-Mobile network, because the speed went back up to 23 mbps, (it was crawling at around 0.8 mbps before).
Put the SIM back into the re-flashed Xperia X, rebooted, and the signal is good, speed is normal.
Most importantly, my fingerprint scanner is working. Oh happy day!!

[Q] Can flashing roms affect signal/reception strength?

Before I rooted/flashed I took notice of the reception of the phone and I was getting 2-3 bars on average on my i9100T running android 2.3.5. After rooting and flashing the WanamLite ICS 4.0.3 v11.4 ROM I noticed my reception averaged 0-1 bars. However, I was still able to make calls and the connection appeared to be decent though what was signaled by reception strength. I decided to reflash (doing a FULL WIPE this time ie. factory reset/davlik/bat stats/cache) and I'm still getting 0-1 bar on average.

If you didn't replace the modem, the short answer is "it shouldn't", but that doesn't mean it didn't, you can try changing the modem and see if that fixes it, modems are very location and carrier dependant so I can't recommend one but if there is one from your carrier's stock and you aren't on it anymore, I'd try that first. GB had some odd issues with signal reporting where it wouldn't update correctly under certain circumstances, that may have caused you to get stuck on 4 bars when you really didn't have 4 bars, but it's unlikely that it would happen 100% of the time.
If your reception for phone calls seems ok and your data speed seems ok, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I haven't personally noticed any change in signal or reception strength after flashing new roms.

I don't remember flashing (installing?) any modems since I'm fairly new to rooting/flashing. I did do a nandroid backup through CWM and backed up EFS folder, how would I go about changing the modem back to the orignal one or checking what modem I have?

Modem should be listed as baseband in your Settings->About Phone, there is a big list of modems here: http://www.veyka.co.uk/radios/ all of them are CWM flashable, most ROMs (good ones at least) don't flash the modem with the rest of the package, some do which is why I asked. As far as finding which modem came with your base package that may require a little more work but you should be able to find it in Intratech's stock firmware thread over in Original Android Development.
WanamLite is considered a good ROM I would assume so I am not sure if it would have flashed a modem and it doesn't say anywhere on his ROM thread that the modem would be flashed

[FIXED] Radio Flash: No Sim

I have a quick question because I've run into a problem I can't seem to fix.
First, so everyone knows what I'm dealing with:
Phone: i717
Changes: Rooted (Shows super user access), CWM v5.5.0.4, Unlocked (Tested)
Rom: Stock AT&T Rom
Sim Card: Works in a T-mo branded Exhibit II 4G.
I flashed a radio (tried KID, 0331122 from the radio thread in the dev section, and reflashed the original AT&T radio).Even w/ the original radio installed, it cannot seem my T-Mo sim now.
Do I need to flash a new Rom or what? Wipe data to factory reset?
I would rather not change anything w/o asking since flashing radios seems to be a straight forward thing that most ppl have done w/o touching the rom.
Thanks ahead of time.
Mine worked with a rooted stock rom at first it didnt see the sim then i tried searching the network under wireless and networks it took a few minutes but then it came up.

don't forget if you are running an ICS based ROM you need an ICS based Radio/modem.
EDIT: i see you're running the original GB rom so you need the GB radio.
give it a few minutes to find a signal or go to settings/mobile networks/network operators. choose manual. then let it search a few minutes. then select t-mobile.
I find the Blaze 4G radio worked best for me, but depending on your area, your results may differ. try em all.
You guys are insanely fast.
I'm currently on the stock radio & I'm still getting the same message after letting the sim sit in the phone for 9 minutes (yes, I watched the clock, lol):
Insert SIM card to access network services

Where should I go from here?
Edit: Is the answer flashing another rom? Maybe something has become corrupt? I don't see how as I've read & re-read walk thrus for doing this to make sure.
I've done a little more reading. Flashing the beta ICS rom flashes to the old AT&T modem.
Would this be the best bet?
Edit: After looking through the "about" phone...
I'm on 4.0.3
Baseband: Unknown............. that's really bad.
Edit 2:
After reading, I needed to back up the EFS. No where is this stated anywhere, unfortunately. That contains IMEI and everything else.
Edit:
So, after reading MORE, the IMEI number is on a sticker behind the battery, along w/ the S/N.
Huh? Efs? I dont even know what that is nevermind backing it up. Goto clockworkmod and flash the radio.zip and reboot. Thats all there is to it.

If you look up EMEI number related to flashing the radio, there's a lot of hits.
XDA has a thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352371
I'm quite shocked it's not mentioned everywhere as this happens to people now and again.
I have my IMEI number, i just don't know how to input it into the phone.
As for flashing the radio, I've flashed 2, then back to the original. To no avail.
Sorry never had anything like that. I would almost odin back to stock and start over. You dont need root for the sim to work on calls and edge with tmobile.

If you're baseband is unknown don't worry just flash a stock at&t modem and it should go back to normal. Your imei is under a different menu in about phone..the status one.
Also its no ones responsibility to tell you that modifying your phone may break it.

I did flash back to the stock AT&T baseband as stated in the original post.
If I go to About Phone, the Baseband Version is unknown.
If I go to Status, the following are listed as
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network: Unknown
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
I've backed up the EFS that I have no just so it doesn't degrade further. I'll try to flash again and see, but I still think the EFS is borked.
I'll see what I can, but I think I'll the EFS is borked beyond flashing it to normal.
My point about the EFS back up is that most ppl here don't seem to know what it is. It shouldn't be that foreign of a topic since flashing a radio is obviously problematic for some. I've seen other posts concerning no IMEI after flashing radios on forums other than XDA. It's odd that it's not mentioned as a sticky everywhere.
Backing up EFS would solve a lot of head aches from unlocking / radio flashing woes. I'm hoping this info will save a few people a lot of time and money.
After more digging, I came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646326
Synopsis: Basically, he followed the same guide I did. The only difference is that I flashed the radio while using a stock AT&T rom. Once he flashed back to GB (saurom), he gained back his baseband / IMEI.
This is what I cannot figure out:
CWM will see and flash any radio file I push to my note. If I push a stock AT&T rom, it won't see it. If I put the rom in it's own folder, it seems the rom, but states there's no files.
Is CWM corrupted? Why would it only read firmware to flash radios, but not android roms? Should I just go back and install CWM?
I've searched all over & used google, but I can't find a thread discussing this.
Fixed.
This problem has nothing to do with any of the radios corrupting the EFS folder. Albeit, it's always a good idea to back it up.
Flashing back to AT&Ts stock rom (2.3.6 or 4.0.3) never fix the issue. You will always be stuck w/o a radio, at least from what I've seen. Even flashing back to the stock radio fails. I don't know if it changes the EFS, but AT&T's rom does not like it and shows no IMEI & a bogus SN .
I had to go back, flash to saurom and a compatible GB (or beta T-mobile) radio to get te work fine. ICS radios work fine on ICS.
Saurom and GB radios dont work in my i 717 trying to connect to wind. I got a CM 9 ICS build and ive tired a bunch of radios. they all failed. i keep getting no sim errors. I can see the operator but when i select it it times out and says it cannot connect to the network at this time. it also says interset sim. Im positive it is unlocked.
Modems(radios) or basebands should have nothing to do with whatever rom you are running. Whether they are GB, ICS, or JB modems, they should all work to a degree, at least for phone call ability. I have flashed many different radios trying to get the best function of my att note on t-mo. The best I got was using the Blaze modem. That got me 3g hspa.
The worst will be just giving you edge speed. My note is unlocked and has been on JB running blaze ICS modem working fine. Maybe you need to start over, evaluate what you have, and go from there. There are great threads on att over t-mobile. Good luck.
I picked my rom, and started flashing 5 or 6 radios, and found what one worked best on t-mo.
Presently, I have switched back to att- sort of- straight talk. I'm not thrilled with the speeds. No higher than 4 mbps DL, and 1-1.5 UL. Thinking about going back to t-mo and dealing with the slow UL speeds. I'm on an ICS rom with the ucle6 modem.
Also, flashing a rom does not change your modem. You have to physically reflash the modem you want. Some modems show up as unknown under the baseband. Blaze is one of them.
Another thought- sometimes a reboot will get your sim recognized by your phone.

This is yet another case of the "no sim" bug ....
Damn I wish we could find the answer to this issue, but none exist .....and for some users the return to complete stock even fails to recover service ..

Really what an incredible unlucky glitch.I got my note for only 360CDN good condition but missing the stylus, even still it was a good buy. I'm on Wind mobile, T-mobile here in Canada. I even gave it to somebody who's done a bunch and they ran into the no sim problem. I guess I'll be going back to my HTC HD2 and sell the note .
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
So just to confirm I have followed the process correctly over 20 times and no matter which cm9 cm10 based rom and any ics or gb based radio will allow connection or recognize the sim to the 1700 aws network. With a cm9 based rom I can see my network, but it will not allow connection like the phone is locked, even though i have unlocked and tested the phone on other networks.

Yes, I have the same 'No SIM' issue with a working WIND SIM. I've tried everything, multiple Radios, multiple ROMs. Very strange problem. I wish we had the tools that the SGSIII has for dumping and restoring the NV ram. Even stranger, I do have a the correct IMEI number in Phone, About. I have a feeling it's something to do with how the phones were carrier unlocked.

It has nothing to do with your unlock. If you've followed the steps and are still having no sim issue you may have to get a new 32k sim card from wind the older ones won't connect in a phone with lte

Had to replace the TMo SIM card with a newer one today. Solved the problem of "No SIM".
I know this is old
I have the same problem with "NO SIM." One day i flashed so many things to my phone and one time i turned it on i got ATT on the top right corner and everything was good. I made some phone calls and texts and even browsed the web. I restarted the phone to check if it was just a fluke and it was. Ever since then i cannot get it to read my phone, but i know for sure the hardware works.

[Q] Manual network selection disabled.

New S3 on UK Three Mobile.
I have an issue that mainly only affects N Irish users I suspect.
Just bought a 3Mobile S3 and I love it. However on 3 firmware, network selection is locked to automatic. I can manually change, but the phone sill change again of its own accord if the signal I chose isn't available.
The reason 3 do it is so that if 3 isn't available, the phone will roam onto Orange's network as a backup. That's all fine if you're in mainland UK! If you're in N Ireland and near the border, you will frequently roam onto Irish networks and run the risk of charges for receiving calls.
Last time I had an android phone I got the firmware flashed and this solved the problem. So far, I rooted the phone and installed a custom Rom, Omega. This didn't solve the issue. Am I missing something? Does installing the Rom not also flash the firmware? Or do I have to try a different Rom?
Going to try a stock firmware from here now. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?
Installed the stock unbranded firmware last night, plus side was the network selection issue is now gone, but the down side is that it seems to have removed my root access.
I I root it again using the threads here, will that overwrite the firmware again?
Flashing a Samsung-ROM will revert all your changes (including root access) and replace the modem. I've heard that Three has it's own modem which works better than the standard on their network, so you might want to flash it (=the modem, not the firmware) on your phone.
Rooting a phone doesn't make you loose any data or change the ROM. Just use CF-Root and you should be good to go.
Thanks. Already used c.f. root again and all is well.
Any Idea where I can fInd the three modem?

im curious to know too... i've installed a unbranded official rom from three's branded one and if the modem is better i think i'd want to install that too
Every modem has it's own name, so try getting the name from someone who has a stock '3' S3. Then you can google it.
I'm not sure though if they got their own, I _think_ they do
However a network-specific modem must not always be the best.
I've got nearly double throughput over here with the exotic ZNLF2 modem. (Afaik it's Hong-Kong)
So trial-and-error is usually better than just keeping what it was shipped with

[Q] No Service After Bad Flash

Hi guys,
I managed to accidentally grab the ATT version of LiquidSmooth and flash it. Since then, I've had strange issues with service. Here's what I've tried:
Flashing (Verizon) versions of CM, LiquidSmooth, and Hyperdrive
Flashing the original and ME7 modems with Heimdall and Odin
Wiping data, system, caches, and fixing permissions before/after every flash
Randomly toggling Mobile Network settings (but I have no idea what I'm doing there)
[*[Searching everywhere I could think of on the forums
I had 0 service on either AOSP ROM I tried. Right now, I'm running Hyperdrive and getting weird results.
Sometimes it asks be to switch to "Global Mode" and shows that I'm roaming.
If I try to call, it says it can't find a mobile network and fails.
After leaving it sitting for a while (right after a clean flash), all the texts I missed came through.
If I try to text somebody, I'm warned that the mobile network is unavailable, but the text still goes through!
4G is working on Hyperdrive. Wifi still works on everything.
com.android.phone crashes when I try change the Network mode away from Global
I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have for me. Not sure what I have left to try.... is there a master reset for all of this?
Thanks!
EDIT
Some more details:

The APNs list is blank and my signal jumps between zero bars and a few bars + roaming. Call and text not working.
I've also attached my PIT file (grabbed with Heimdall). Have no idea how to read it.
Do you have a nandroid backup that includes your EFS partition? If so, I would try restoring it and seeing what happens. Sounds like something got out of whack in there and is giving your phone a hard time doing it's #1 job.
This is what ultimately switched me to the S4, my GNex randomly decided one day that it wasn't going to be a phone anymore, and I didn't have an EFS backup to restore in order to try and fix it.
Two things -
1. Always, always, always, make sure the ROM you are flashing is the correct ROM.
2. Always keep an ODIN file on handy of the full system image, here is the full MDK software, this WILL wipe all of your data - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237

1. I know. LiquidSmooth could have done a better job of linking to the right place on their post, but it was still really dumb on my part.
2. Thanks for this! It looks like I'll be able to try this out tonight (slow connection). The SD card data is safe right? Also, I'm just downloading the tar - not sure what the exe is for.
I haven't used Odin for this since it was on version 1.8 or something (now it's over 3)... it looks like I still just choose the tar from the PDA block and hit go... no specific other settings needed for this phone / flash, right?
No luck :/ . I unzipped the stock restore, flashed in Odin (PDA), and booted fine. I have 4G and texts working, but no calling (mobile network not available) and calling my phone goes straight to voicemail. Also, it's very adamant about keeping me in Global mode over LTE/CDMA. This is the same state I was in earlier while running Hyperdrive, except now I don't have root.
I feel like I've tried everything there is to try. Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Are there any areas of software that don't get reset when flashing the stock images in Odin, and that could have been corrupted from the bad flash?
Thanks.
It's probably also worth mentioning that I'm warned about there being no mobile network when I send texts. I can cancel the dialog and they still go through. People can text me without issues.

I had the same happen to me when I was working on getting radio on MIUI ROM, after tinkering with the Sprint version, only 4G would work, and occasionally roaming would work. Every time I tried to make a call, it told me there was no mobile network available, and it constantly tried to switch into Global Mode instead of CDMA/LTE.
Sadly, the only thing that worked for me was getting my phone replaced with a brand new one. If you find anything that works please be sure that you post it, because someone else may end up doing the same thing.

Did you get it replaced via warranty? If so, did you need to do anything besides flashing a stock image in Odin beforehand?
Maybe try flashing the stock rooted ME7 that includes the new radios? Couldn't hurt at this point.

Does anybody know whether ODIN / recovery deletes the partitions before writing new ones? If a file existed in the ATT rom, but not in the Verizon one, would it still be on my phone if I flashed the Verizon rom over the ATT one? Obviously this assumes a data / cache wipe in between. I'm really talking more about the other partitions.
Also, does anyone have any experience trying to get a replacement via warrantee after flashing? I've read all about the binary counter on our model, but didn't see any success / failure stories yet from people returning phones after flashing stock + unrooting.
Last question for now: is there any reason to believe that taking the recent update would help my situation? Maybe that could reset whatever is causing my calling issue.... just a random guess. I know that I'd lose any chance of getting root back (at least for a while).
Thanks again for the help guys!

It worked well before. I don't have any previous backups. Yes i tired re-flash as well. Any other solution ?
Suddenly i noticed network is connected and received a SMS. But when i try to take a call it went back to "No Service".
It could be because of incompatible RIL and baseband. Did you happen to change these recently by any chance?
Don't flash any ril if you're on 4.2. Ril is only ok if you're on stock.
What you can try is to flash the stock ROM for your country /carrier. See if the problem persists .
And just a word of advice, always have a backup ready to go.

Flashed official firmware with Odin. But problem still exists. I noticed strange thing. One of my SIM cards working on it. But 2G network. Sometimes shifts to 3G but can't hold also signal strength is low. When i put other SIM it says Not registered on network (cant manually register even)
Did you definitely flash the firmware released for your carrier & region? Sounds to me like you may have flashed firmware intended for another carrier or region.
Try flashing a few modems. Look at which modems your carrier released for your region, start with those. Then, move onto o re her local carriers etc. If you still don't have any luck, go all our and flash whatever modem you can get your hands on (make sure it's compatible first obviously).
It may sound like a lot of work, but unfortunately there's no quick fix for something like this if flashing stock didn't work.
Oh wait. If you did actually flash a different stock rom, flash the correct one first. If you did get the right one first off, start flashing modems.

Ya. I flashed correct firmware. I'll try some more custom ROMS as well. With this ROM i can get 3G and 2G networks. Data also working. But signal is low. You think its a modem issue ?
