[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??

In case of a soft brick. Use PCC/SEUS to get back to stock. That's the best and most trusted option as far as I know.

Or just back it up yourself. On the recovery press backup and it should do the job.

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

[Q] Install custom rom or upgrade Android in X8 after 11w29

Hi guys!
I just got a X8 and I want to upgrade Android to be able to take more advantage of it.
Here is my X8 description:
Model: E15a
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel: 2.6.29
Compilation number: 2.0.1.A.0.47
The number behind the battery is 11w45.
I read that models after 11w29 get hard bricked when trying to unlock the bootloader.
Do I have any chance to upgrade the Android version or installing custom roms?
If you have any ideas how to make this little smartphone a little more performant will be apreciated!
Thanks you!

Yes. There are roms made for stock kernel. You just need to root and install recovery. Search for guides for more details.

Nice. Which rom made for stock kernel do you recommend?
Can I update my baseband to 015 or I need to leave it that way because the hard bricking problem?
Thanks for your time!

Afaik, it's bootloader unlocking that causes hard brick. Update your baseband as well. The most popular roms for stock are gdx (2.3), froyopro, and froyobread. Just read how to flash them carefully and you should be fine.

If you want to Flash a Costume Kernel the only way of doing it is by Unlocking your Bootloader first. There isn't another way to be able to Flash a Costume Kernel. But if you want you can still Install a Costume ROM that is made for Stock Kernel.
Here is a link to a list of ROMs both for Stock Kernel and Costume Kennel:
Kernels and ROMs for the SE Xperia X8

thanks
