LOL bro, I think you are mistaken if u think you upgraded to 2.3.7 through PCC (i hope that's an X8)....You might be only at 2.1
Now about the baseband~
Your X8 is actually a computer with a GSM modem attached to it. So there is the Operating System for the computer half of the phone and the Baseband is like the OS for the Modem half. Get it?
When people have a "locked" phone its baseband is limited to certain cards only and when it is hacked to allow all the cards, we call it unlocking.
I hope you are now clear with the thing ^_^
Happy 2 help!

at all you can do flash new roms again!:laugh:

Help :/

Yesterday i've updated my Galaxy to Gingerbread 2.3.6 !! and i still suffer from Android OS problem :/ does it really exists in these new versions too except 2.3.3? or my phone just got insane ://
no way ?
usually it only exists for 2.3.3
never had that again, since i'm on a newer version
Well I never saw it on 2.3.3 at least on my carrier 2.3.3 but it has been fix since JVR so it might have been a bad flash be sure to make a factory reset before and after flashing also don't restore any app data from older firmware or they wont work propertly and some times a usb format is recomended.
PS: sorry for my english I'm a bit drunk cause Christmas

I try it it wont work... I dont really know what is ROM ... but i use Cyanogen mod 9 , Kernel Aaa 2.69 And ISC OS .... i dont see my contacts on sim too ... It looks like i miss some driver on that OS or something liek that ...
Looks like you've unlocked the bootloader to install nAa kernel. Did you make sure that your phone manufacturing date is before 11W29?

It was working till I decided I will get it unlocked by one of the guys from high street. Since then I have had problem and SIM card doesn't connect to operator O2.
I have reinstalled original rom but still sim can't connect to network. I then reinstalled ginger dx v25 rom. Still no network. Wonder whether the guy trying to unlock switched off the network radio in it.
Would be grateful if someone can help.
Thanks

[Q] [q] gt p1000 imei,baseband unknown?

Please can anyone help me fix my GT P1000, the problems are BaseBand, Network, IMEI, IMEISV Unknown, problem occured when my tab sudddenly shut off because of the battery shutting down at 60%. Ive been reading topics here but i really cant find any solution doing it, i have tried restocking using GB Stock Safe V5 then rooting and following the install guide of the overcome experience but still no luck doing this solution.
What else should i try? Can you please teach me step by step in doing it, i am really new into this. Thanks you in advance.
You didn't say when it broke.
Gb stock save v5 then rooting?
Did it boot gb stock safe v5 correctly with all mobile baseband and IMEI?

Hello Priyana, when i turned on the tab the network, baseband, imei is not there anymore,can not detect simcard too, so i thought the system got corrupted badly and tried restocking. GB stock safe V5 perfectly installed but there is still no baseband, imei, network, it doesnt even detect the sim card. Tab. I followed also the guide/steps installing from GB stock +cwm to cm10 (youtube vio tutorials) thinking that cm 10 would put back the lost imei, baseband, network but still no luck. So i restock again to GB stock.I am from Philippines and i used jpz as modem.bin.
As far as I know, if gb stock safe didn't get your IMEI/baseband back, it might be hardware issue.

When i try to remove sim card, the tab reboots and when i insert it reboots but network and the rest is unknown. Bad for me if its a hardware, there's no samsung service center in my place

xperia E15a is X8?

I just got this phone and I took the battery out to find out which xperia is it. And it says E15a... And I think its the X8.
Now I want to format and flash a different ROM. Will anything that works on the X8 work on my phone? Or is it a different phone?
Thanks.

Yes they are the same.There's four firmwares that i know and they E15a(yours),E15i,E16a and E16i(mine).You can also change the firmware of these to the other one.

It's the same phone. In fact, I have the same model as you, and I'm using ROMs for the X8 (e15i) without problems
Cool, so now I'd like to format the phone and make it as new but with a good Rom. I heard GingrDX is good.. Any tutorials around?

upgrade rom solves these errors????
thanks a lot all
(sorry for my english)
Hey,
Yeah, upgrading even to a 2.3.6 version should solve those probles, but JB is also pretty stable
For starters, if your phone is an I9000, then I think you should be able to flash in any 2.3.6 rom for the I9000 to root... But I'm not sure about this, mine hasn't been branded so someone else might be able to give a bit more info on whether its safe.

Yeah, you should be able to (I don't think it'll cause any problems), and your sim should work fine with an Italian 2.3.6 rom. PM me at some point if you want instructions
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD
Yes should work. Never had 2.2 on my galaxy. Use Odin to flash a new stock firmware. Search for your country so you get your APN settings. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9000&pcode=-1#firmware
Here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259240
Or you try it with Samsung Kies

if ur fone n sim okay. then lets forgot about unlock sim.some provider provide their own imei for the user.
u can see imei in setting-about fone.if imei still intact then there will be no problem.
