Preferably without installing a new kernal.
Hmm..
The FW Version is 2.3.3
The Baseband is I9000NEJV5

[Q] Baseband updated but not the build number

Hi,
Great site BTW, some very cool things happening here.
Yes I'm a noob and figured that Q + A would be the best place to post a question!
so, I've trawled throguh the site looking for the best answer to my question and have not found one.
I found a post by someone with the same problem, but without an answer.

Basically, I downloaded Flashtool to update my baseband and build number.
My baseband is now 015, but my build is still 2.0.2.A.0.24.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong??

The 2.0.2.A.0.24 is the build string of your ROM ...
Seems you're still running the genuine Sony Ericsson Android 2.0 update 2 ROM.
Last update ever released for the X8 was 2.1.1.C.0.0.
Baseband 015 just means that you updated the baseband (everything below the ROM ... kernel, loader, GSM/UMTS radio parts) to the latest version ever released by Sony Ericsson.
EDIT: In case you are not referring to the build string of the ROM but really to the build string of the baseband ...
Baseband 006 has a build string of 2.0.2.A.0.24 (came with ROM of the same build version)
Baseband 015 has a build string of 2.1.1.A.0.6 (came with ROM of the same build version)
So, if you are getting a build string version of 2.0.2.A.0.24 on the BASEBAND you are still on Baseband 006
Seems you're still running the genuine Sony Ericsson Android 2.0 update 2 ROM.

Yes, I'm still on genuine, but I have Android 2.1 Update 1.
Wanting to root, but I have read on here I need to update baseband and build first before doing so.
Wish I could get a screen shot to show you..
Looking under settings-->about phone I see
Baseband version is 015
Kernel version is 2.6.29
Build number 2.0.2.A.0.24
So do I have 2.1.1.A.0.6 if my Firmware version is 2.1 - update 1??
So do I have 2.1.1.A.0.6 if my Firmware version is 2.1 - update 1??

Help with rooting stock rom

HI guys
im new to the galaxy, been using the g2x for a while. i read all the guides here and on another forum and i still need some help. i want to root my phone, its with a stock rom:
2.3.3
baseband: I9000JHJV9
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000JHJVG-CL788779
[email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JHJVG
i know i need to replace the kernel with a modified one. could not find anything suitable since the build and baseband are too new (HJV9!?)
will this kernel do?

That should do it. In case anything goes wrong always have a stock rom on your PC and remember to read on how to flash with Odin (Samsung tool to flash roms and kernel's)
Once u start flashing there is no turning back...it's that much fun

flash new baseband

hey
Im currently using apocalypse rom and its running pretty good on my ace.
I read a post saying that its better to install a different baseband (XXKPT)
im abit confused cause on my phone info now it says baseband: S5830NEKT2 and version 2.3.7
but the xxkpt is 2.3.6 ?
so shouldnt the 2.3.7 be a better baseband?
There is no need to change the baseband unless you are having any problems in the rom because of it.
The baseband change referred in the apocalypse thread is for changing the region of the firmware, not the version. You may use 2.3.7 for you region, but if there is any problem with the rom that a reflash or fresh Odin install is not solving, or due to app 2 sd scripts, then you should try a firmware from a different region, it has helped many people.
If the region(firmware's) you are going for has a different version then you have no choice but to downgrade.

thanks for the info. its much clearer now!
i did want to try a different baseband because of the app2sd bugs on the one i have.(with link2sd and amarullz)
It seems quite straightforward to flash another baseband with odin so might give it a go.
is there anyway to bkup the one i have now? or to find a download link? had a quick look on sammobile.com but didnt find the one i currently have(S5830NEKT2)
You can make a cwm backup,but i don't know if it backs up the baseband or not.
i mean if you restore this on another firmware then you will get this baseband back or not, i am not sure about that.

Yes, it does...
I'm not sure to completely understand.... If I choose the baseband of my country (XWKS9) and I flash on my cm7.2 stable official I'll change the firmware also no ?? If yes can you tell me how to change the baseband without change firmware ?
Thanks

Just flash the cwm zip for baseband or also known as modem...it will only change the baseband then...but i don't see much need of doing so because it's seldom that baseband causes problems...

It is quite rare but its there with the apocalypse rom, somehow the rom +sdext scripts have different compatibility with different basebands.

Try some baseband with V20g in name, instead of V20s (different fw combatibility I suppose).
I am using these
LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012+0_AP FW
LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012+0_CP BB
BB is 1035.21_2011075
as it was the one the phone came with originally and works well with it. Beware that some FW/BB combination are not working well wor some phones. No pattern, it is individual.
check if your imei is not damaged... sometimes when flash a rom, it can to be damaged

Im trying to get a V20G baseband but I cant find one. Anyone got a link? Ive tried other basebands in the link I said earlier and still no signal.
Please anyone, Im really not that good at this. I need a firmware and baseband download links that match each other but I cant find any.
