Does it really matter what baseband version we have?
As I'm looking to update my phone as haven't done it in a while and I think it needs doing.
I currently have: S5830XXKPP , is this the latest/best baseband out atm?
Im obviously going to be putting custom firmware over this...
Does anyone know where I can find the latest/best baseband or what the newest is?
Ive tried samfirmware but since the site has been updated I cannot find anything for the Ace.
Much help would be appreciated, thanks.
In samfirmware you can find kt3 that is the last stock .. im using kt7 from germany and it is very stable.. no lags

does it even matter when we are using Latest Stock Based Custom ROM on old Baseband ??

Baseband should make a difference on stock and most stock based roms (depends on how custom the kernel files are). No difference on cm7 (that i know of).

Hey guys,
today I got a used Galaxys I9000, it came with the Kernel-Version: 2.6.29 and the Build ECLAIR.AOJG1.
I saw that there is no compatible root for this Build, so do I have to flash a new firemware with odin or shall I do a firemware update via Kies ?
Thank you very much.

If i were you i would update via odin. MUCH quicker and far less hassle, also you can go straight for a custom rom.
can you prefer a rom ? I would need one that allows me to install cm 9 or ICS.
So it needs to be rooted and has CWM installed right ?.
Im afraid to brick my new phone, some im asking.
thank you again.
I prefer you cyanogen 7.1 or a stock with semaphore kernel.

What is the advantage of flashing a sephamore kernel?
Hello. Can I flash CyanogenMOD 7.2.0 RC5.5 on Galaxy Mini with the following firmware:
PDA: S5570LWMKPJ
CSC: S5570LUUBKP8
Currently running Gingerbread 2.3.6 with root. Have also flashed CWM
No. Squadzone wrote that you need a KPI, KPL or KPK stock rom. However you can just try and see if it works, but maybe you'll get some troubles...
Could I flash the required stock rom instead, then go ahead and flash cyanogen mod?

Actually, you can use any baseband you like.. I have used plenty of them and did not have any issues. from EU to Latin AM firmware.. but for best results, you use the preferred baseband that developers specify..

He's right, buddy.
I've tried 2.3.6 with CM7 RC5.5. And I got several problems. When I play Angry Birds, sometimes it closed itself, sometimes the phone reboot after I send message & lock the screen. Sometimes the screen doesn't coming back after I lock it.
So, use recommended baseband. It'll work for the best.

i had same baseband and CyanogenMOD works prefectly.
i've tried also with S5570JVKT1 and still works fine.
i think that any baseband with GB is fine for Cyanogen ( but i've not tried all )
XXKPK is the best base for cm doesnt matter if its squads or the rc0 fom madteam or mebitek!! Choose kpk and you dont get in trouble ;-)

You mean you want to flash LRG kernel so that you can upgrade to 4.0.4? Why dont you download stock XXLRQ (German) firmware from dr.ketan's thread and simply flash using odin. Its the latest 4.0.4 rom.

To change build number you will need to flash updated rom.
This is what it means in "Settings / About Phone"
Baseband version - This is your Modem
Kernel Version - Your Kernel
Build number - your ROM
You need to flash an updated ROM to change to 4.0.4. Latest is LRQ

Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (Courtesy of doc ketan)
Find the XXLRQ3 (Germany) in there and flash it. It will restore back the LRQ3 on to your phone, together with the stock kernel that comes along with it.
good day.. i just want to ask how to change my baseband version if i'm in a custom rom? is it possible? like for example, my current baseband is S5830DXKT4 running a SGS2 JB ROM, which is a DDXKQ baseband.... i want to change to it's latest.. XWKTS without using odin?
or is it possible to chane the baseband of a CUSTOM ROM?
I don't think it is possible to change baseband version for the same rom ( atleast never heard of it until now ). So practically if you want a new baseband, you need to flash a new rom
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
nop impossible
I think you have to extract modem from xwkts and flash it.
i remember in some where in the forum is a collection of modems and a tool to backup your modem.
The only way is if some one share the backup
Flash with odin xwkts and backup modem.
Install custom rom and flash your backup
I think that would do the trick

No I am also from India. There is absolutely no problem. I recommend not to flash any other rom because any custom rom works perfectly on any gingerbread baseband even official ddkq7....
