Hey,
first of, sorry if this has already been asked (and answered..) But I tried my best searching all the sub-forums.
Anywho.
I'm not sure if I am imagining this or not, but after updating to 253 my wireless and cell reception has become worse. Albeit I have quite poor reception in the basement, but the phone looses mobile and/or wireless connection all the time (and I'm positive it didn't do that before, at least).
I have tried both the Indian version and the Swedish version, but they both have the same baseband, i.e 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110041-23. I am located in Norway, but I figured the baseband will at least be the same for both Sweden and Norway(?). I have not looked at the 'Nordic' version yet tho.
I have not checked if the baseband of 434 and 253 actually differ, but I'm thinking they do. Currently I'm running Carbonrom, so the question is, is it possible to flash just the baseband of 434 onto Carbonrom (provided they're not the same that is..) and should I try to find the Norwegian-specific ftf?
I've been doing nothing but flashing different roms these last days and I think I'm going to cough up hairballs if I have to re-install and customize the rom to my liking, yet again. So I just want to be sure before doing anything (un)risky..
regards,
me
Yes you can flash the baseband separately with flashtool.
And yes 434 has different baseband than the new update.

Well I tried flashing both a baseband from 434 UK version and 434 Swedish version, but it has not changed.. Is there anything else than flashing the baseband from flashtool I should know about?

Yes you done it correctly but you wont see the difference in "about phone".you need to change some system files to get the right info but not necessary.
All you have to do now is checking if you have better signal and connectivity or not.

Hi
I was hoping someone could help. This is driving me absolutely crazy.
I am currently running Cyanogenmod so Sony Mobile Update Server and Sony Mobile Companion completely refuse to play ball what so ever. They do not even attempt to connect out to their servers.
I really want one of the following FTF files:
Code:
O2 Pay monthly UK 1270-4993 10.3.1.A.0.244 R9B 10.3.A.0.423 R8B
United Kingdom Vodafone UK 1270-9110 10.3.1.A.0.244 R7B 10.3.A.0.423 R7B
This is just so I can update the baseband and NFC firmware
Tried googling for 2 hours and found nothing except German and Dutch FTFs.
Any help would be really appreciated....
Thanks
Just use any of the generic unbranded 244 FTF files posted in this section. All of the firmware versions have the same system files, baseband etc. no matter which region they are from.

If no one has a link to either of these I will flash my phone to stock, re-load bootloader and then run the upgrade, capture the FTF, re-unlock bootloader and then apply FTF then latest Cyanogenmod...
I will also post my FTF in General section.
But if someone has already done this it would save me a very late night

Ah ok... fair enough. Well its mainly just the BB and NFC firmware I'm after anyway.
Out of interest, what is the difference between the different regions??

Mainly just different bundled apps, I believe. All of the core system components, the kernel, baseband etc are the same for all releases of 244.

Hello all,
It's not really a problem but something I just don't understand !
I'm on the .244 firmware and i tried to install the baseband of the .310 one (don't ask me why, I'm just curious :cyclops: ) but after the flash even if network took some time to be enabled the baseband number in the settings didn't change.
I also tried:
Going to .310 → .244 BB
Flashed everything in the .ftf excluding system and kernel
Wiping cache
But nothing changed in the baseband displayed in the settings !
Do somebody has an idea on why it doesn't change ? How can I be sure the new baseband is really installed ?
Thanks.
PS: a friend also tested on his Xperia SP, same issue.
Baseband is the same AFAIK.

Nope when I tried to flash the whole 310 ftf the baseband changed from -39 to -29 :/
Hello,
Do somebody have an idea please ?
Thanks.
Probably because both firmware use the same baseband

No, all firmware have different basebands, to check it we just have to flash the whole .ftf and see that the baseband number is changed.
Yesterday I read a message confirming this is only a display issue on many (all ?) 2013 Xperias. To be sure the new baseband has been installed after a flash, we simply have to check if the network takes some time to activate.
Then, does anybody know whether c5502 has the same baseband processor/hardware as c5503
I believe that the system part contains some informations. try overwriting it

@ syin16: same general hardware yes, but not the same network ship and baseband as C5503.
C5503 firmwares and basebands work on C5502, but a C5502 baseband/firmware on C5503 will prevent LTE to work.
@ Ilko: yeah it's a system thing, as reinstalling all the .ftf without the system partition doesn't change anything to the baseband number.
But it doesn't come from the build.prop
stupid me... caught this...
how i resolved it... (im using cm/fxp btw)
- make nandroid backup
- wipe
- reboot
- baseband comes back
- reboot into recovery
- advanced recovery with "data" only
- reboot
- done.
Yesterday i install kitkat on my xperia zr c5502 but thr file is courrepted then i install c5503 firmware now my phone model number show c5503 but my phone is?c5502

Hey,
I have a UK unbranded xperia z with has been a great phone apart from the trickle way that the device handles photos and compression etc, the latest firmware for this device is supposed to fix this problem how it's still not out in the UK however seems to be everywhere else.
The of suite doesn't now show the latest version however when going to Sony's website it's listed but unavailable to download.
My question is can the phone someone be manually flashed without losing the DRM features or perhaps be forced to download the software from an alterative source.
Think the version I am looking for is 10.3.1.A.2.67 for the 6603 model.
Anyone help?
Thanks

TBH I have no idea what are you talking about, but i guess you want to flash .67 fw right?
If yes, then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
and choose some .67 fw from general section. ex.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455849
flashing a stock tft from a different region may lost your localization. If you do not mind any localization matter, fine, otherwise you have to wait.
At the moment I am running Monkx essential rom.
I would like to change my baseband to the one from the 2.67 update because my network reception is poor.
Everything else I would like to keep
Can anybody help me to get the latest baseband from the NL version of 2.67 and how to change it?
Thxs in advance

You know you can flash any baseband as long as it's from the same model. I flashed the Hong Kong one and it's working fine in the UK
I tried with flashtool,it flashes but baseband keeps unchanged.
What should I flash with it??
Is it maybe related to which kernel I use?
This is the kernel and baseband from .67 flash it with flashtool but exclude the kernel if don't want to change it.

Hi,
I'm using Paranoid Android 4.5 Alpha 2 and I wonder how to update modem baseband to latest version without losing my actual configuration and ROM.
Is it possible?
If so, can you tell me how and what do I need.
Thanks by advance

why do you want to flash baseband?
Because I have issues with phone calls.
So I would like to take advantage of the latest baseband that would maybe fix those.

it might be an operator issue/rom bug.
dont fiddle with the baseband
It's not an operator problem.
So I suppose the problem is from my side (phone).
I used to have a Nexus 4 and ROM and baseband are 2 different things that you can flash independently.
Are you sure it's not the same with Xperia Z?
I already saw some topics with titles like Baseband Generic US something. But I did not find any Generic FR at the latest version.

You can download the french firmware and just flash the baseband from flashtool
Edit: Why dont you try EU firmware
I found out one topic for generic FR latest firmware and I used your trick flashing only the baseband.
Thanks!
Now I will see with the time if it's making my phone work better.
