[Q] please help me!

i am using free xperia x8 recovery v001 to update my phone to minicm7 android 2.3.. i folo step by step from the webside.. but when i was installing the minicm7.. it say
This is baseband is not compatible with this ROM update to baseband : m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015 first
Cannot install
Install from sdcard complete..
can i noe how to solve this problem?
anyone please help me!
thats not a problem just update ur phone with PC companion
Try with other roms, and see if which is your baseband number maybe its just and rom bug....
P.S. if you use PCcompanion to update your phone it would go back your phone to 2.1 and after that you need to root your phone again and install xrecovery and cwm again

Did you try using Odin and flashing back to Stock ROM?
From froyo to gb or ics you have to flash with odin, tick gb-bootloader and repart ...try this
Go back to froyo dont need bootloader and repart ...

read first n second post
see here for instruction to change Firmware n cf root as i dont even know which cf to choose for ur build number (flash at ur own risk)
if upgrading to 4.2.2, flash 4.0 first (triple times, bootloop will occur), then flash ur chosen 4.2 ROM (twice or triple flash, error or bootloop will occur) without leaving recovery after flashing 4.0
bootloop common on upgrading process, juz use 3 combo button to go back, link given to change to jvu, as i dont find ur cf root. n 4.0 can be download on cyanogenmod website by searching sgs fone or galaxymtd, juz download da stable cm9.

please help

here list of cf root, n indeed u dont need to change firmware for upgrading but IF u can identify ur cf root suitable, wrong chosen cf will cause bootloop until u find ur own cf root suitable for ur build number n bootloop will cease. well, juz read carefully

Just download unlock root, then activate USB debugging (found in applications-developer settings)and then plug your phone in, run the program. Unlock root should detect your phone. Now you press the button named root and volia! Within less than a minute, the phone will be rooted! (Installing unlock root will take time, just keep pressing skip then it'll be alright.

visit My Android Collections, look under unlock & Root, you have the option of using an app or by using your PC or flashing a CF Root or semaphore Kernel.
try this, it worked for me.
1st:
Install or Unbrick 2.3.6 Gingerbread in Samsung Galaxy S i9000
youtube.com/watch?v=DDg4oyRNets
2nd
Root 2.3.6 Gingerbread Samsung Galaxy S i9000
youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_2Z1drKzc
and i even maked my I9000 to android 4.2.1
Install 4.2.1 Jelly Bean in Samsung Galaxy S i9000 by Cenouralm
youtube.com/watch?v=LP9EomkF06c
All worked for me
I managed to root and install CWM without using a computer, here's how I did it... I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 so I installed Framaroot v1.5.2 to get root as Mobile ODIN needs root and won't work without it. link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 then I installed Mobile ODIN (free in market) and the Mobile ODIN flash kernal here http://bit.ly/17kEetk next I download CF-Root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it... flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot... once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access... hope that helps.

(1st:
1.1 Follow Cyanogen mods install wiki and download the Usb-driver(remember to reboot after) and the other stuff(no need for the android sdk). Youll have to google for heimdall-frontend
1.2 Use heimdall frontend to install 2.3.6 Gingerbread(XWJVZ_heimdall.tar for i9000) and dont freak out if mobile data is not working, it will work after step 3.)
as odin didnt recognize my soft bricked device, id stick to heimdall.
2nd:
follow cyanogenmods wiki advice and use heimdall to install cwm recovery, dont forget to visit your phones settings and put USB-debug on.
3rd:
a)
use your phone to download the rom-image +gapps you want. Boot to recovery, perform wipes and install.
or
b)
or if you want to stay with 2.3.6---> flash a working modem from recovery if its not working properly.
