[Q] Xperia ZR baseband doesn't change after baseband flashing - Sony Xperia ZR

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

I don't know how was before the reppair, but used to work on 3g, and i want to install the configuration that i had before.
For informations, i'm in brazil, using VIVO.

I've tryed with pcc and doesn't work. NOw i will test with roaming, but my 2g doesn't work anymore after the pcc reppair.
Sorry for the section, i'm new
Ps: Roaming doesn't work so far. I'm telling you, i now realized that the baseband cannot connect in brazil
In america we use e15a, maybe that is what is causing the problem, use flashtool and flash e15a baseband. That will solve the problem likely

Currently, these basebands are available:
X8i - E15i
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
X8a - E15a
Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24
Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
I took this from Se xperiax blogspot and my cell phone is X8i- E15i with baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6. However, doens't work, so i want put baseband 06 - kernel 2.0.2.A.0.24. But How i do it?
change
Hey guys, i changed my baseband to all x8 versions, e15a, e15i, 006, 015. But my 3g still unworking. So, now i want to change my version, i use 2.1.1.A.0.6 and want to get back to 2.0.2.A.0.24
How to do it?
Then the problem might be from your provider, the only way to get back to that firmware is flashtool, but i dont know where to get that particular one.
flash

Baseband vs Region

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.

How can I change my baseband to the latest?

At the moment I am running Monkx essential rom.

Everything else I would like to keep

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.

[Q] loss of gsm signal

Hi guys, please I need some help with my xperia z, it presently does not get any network regardless of changing sim. Dis occurred few days after upgrading to newest firmware .67. It worked fine after some days but signal started gettin poorer.realised dat after givin the phone a little bump it comes back to full signal.eventually it stopped getting network altogether, except in rare cases when I feel I'm close to a tower , it searches but cannot register on the network sayin to ensure that a network signal is in range 99asu.I also cannot switch to manual select of network. Please anybody with a solution. Want to know if its a hardware or software problem. I don't have a sony service centre here that can help me.thanks
I had a similar issue and found that my "APN" was missing (Telcel Mexico). I created a new APN from information on the Internet and all is well.

What model do you have??
You upgraded by PC Companion or by flashtool?? Maybe the baseband is incorrect and the phone don't have signal, maybe your carrier use two band and not both are in all coverage.

Initially upgraded to .434 using flashtool, then .67 by OTA. By baseband do u mean 2g and 3g? Cos I don't get any form of signal at all.
Hi there, I have had the same problem: after updating the XZ to 4.2.2 (2.67 over OTA) the signal dropped instantly. Therefore I had to send it back Sony Care. They fixed it. The update has overwritten a different smallband/baseband-version above the other one, just as I suspected. I bet you can flash it yourself (your an XDA user..) instead of waiting 2 weeks or more. If you don't know how it works and you've absolutely no experience with flashing, just send it back to Sony care.
I think the easiest way is to flash a different (older) baseband-version on your XZ, reboot/factory reset and see if it works. The second method is to try downgrading the software to .244 INCLUDING the baseband-version, then update it by flashing the XZ to 2.67 while EXCLUDING the baseband-version. The third option is to re-flash (with flashtool) the 2.67 update but a different version (GLOBAL).
My phone details:
Modelnumber: C6603
Android-version: 4.2.2
Smallbandversion: 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-30110068-44
Kernelversion: 3.4.0g43a9ba9
Buildnumber: 10.3.1.A.2.67
Altough your smallband/baseband may differ from mine. Therefore, please find your own software-version. I'm using:
GLOBAL-LTE_10.3.1.A.2.67 (Netherlands)
Goodluck! Please let us know about your issue:fingers-crossed:.

But what Xperia Z model do you have?? C6603, C6602, C6606??
I have a similar situation in the case of C6603, in my carrier sometimes I have 2G signal but never 3G and other times no signal. In the case of OTA or PC Companion updates, sometimes upgrade to diferent model or carrier, I have a friend that upgrade his Xperia Arc by PC Companion but with the uncarrier firmware. Maybe this is your case, the OTA firmware don't well upgrade your base band.
In this case I suppose that you can flash only the baseband by Flashtool, but be carreful that the firmware was made for your Xperia Z (C6603, C6602, C6606).

Look this: C6602 10.3.1.A.2.67 STOCK
If you have doubts and I can help you tell me.
To find your version, just dial *#*#7378423#*#* => service info => software info => File system version: ......; download it from Xda and (re-)flash it. I've read about this; it happens a lot with XZ's with the GLOBAL firmware. You've probably the same version. Good luck and please let us know

Try to flash full firmware, because you don't have signal at all, maybe could be hardware issue. Cultural question, You try your sim card in another phone, don't you?
Okay I eventually found out what the problem was.it's a hardware problem, connection of the antenna near the vibrator, bottom right when lookin at back of phone was loose.thanks to all who posted suggestions.eventually opened it myself.
