Hey,
I'm planing to upgrade my Xperia T from 4.1 to 4.3.
Filesystem will be updated through CWM, as well as the kernel. But what about the baseband ?
I only see some comments about using Flashtool to update the kernel (if it's not available in the zip file that will be use to upgrade filesystem with CWM). But when I see some screenshots from people using JB 4.3, in the "About the phone" section, the baseband ends with *-60 when on my JB 4.1, I'm still with a bseband ending with *-56...
Bump
No one tried to update the baseband?
Why don't try? Get an FTF file from .199 4.3 rom from sony and flash only the baseband
I've discovered that every ROM has its own baseband number in About phone and flashing just the baseband from another ROM has no effect on that but does affect your phone's ability to connect to the data network.
@silasje1
I'm not ready for the upgrade but fore sure, when I will be, I will update the baseband. I just would like to know if there is a particular reason why nobody speak about that...
---
And from what I know, yes the baseband is related to the ability to connect to a network. But maybe not only, I read that the baseband of a Samsung has something to do with the GPS.
Anyway, as upgrade from 4.1 is a major upgrade, I think that it's better to upgrade this baseband.

You need full stock to do that, and all matching parts of a stock version. And the same csc, in plain words the same setup your phone came with.
Anything else and no ota lol

So just a stock gb flashed through odin would do the trick? :victory:
Yes, as long as its same csc, efs is not corrupted.
Sometimes its needed to try different roms. Had it once one version didnt ota, and earlier did.

I'm still on Gingerbread 2.3.6, I would like to stick to stock firmware and at the same time I'd like to stay away from ICS until the hardbrick bug is fixed.
However, I do connect my phone to Kies every now and then to check the available firmware updates for my region and turns out that Kies is offering me LP9 ROM which I understand is quite old compared to the latest which is 4.0.4 (see attached image).
Does this mean that there aren't more recent versions available for my region? or do I have to update to LP9 before I can install anything newer?
In other words, am I getting LP9 because I have to go through all versions before I get the latest? or should Kies be able to skip all versions in between my current ROM and the latest one?
Kies always gives you the latest update packages. So if you have 4.0.4 for your region you would be directly getting an update to it. And you can always switch to a safe kernel, with or without root. :good:
well which kernel is safe?
All custom kernels now come with the emmc bug disabled. Eg. Notecore, speedmod,franco's kernel.

I heard 4.1.2 official Samsung update is rolling out.
I connected my N7000 to the computer and opened KIES after a long time i didn;t opened Kies. It said that a firmware is available, and also said a new version of KIES is available.
I thought I should update Kies first, so I did.
After Kies updated I connected the G Note again, and this time Kies said:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
Current firmware version: PDA:LPY/PHONE:LPT/CSC:LPY(KOR)
my device information is:
4.0.3
N7000XXLPT
kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Build: IML74K.XXLPY
Does anyone can tell me why KIES doesn't let update firmware via KIES?
I bought my phone few month ago from somebody and he said that the phone can get official updates.
Is the phone info and firmware/build etc. is an official firmware?
I don't want to put non official ROM or 4.1.2.
Thanks for any help!
Probably because you have a non-stock kernel. Flash the stock kernel that goes with your stock rom and try again.
It's because you probably have a German rom and the csc is set to Korea. Dial *#272*IMEI# and choose DBT.
Doing this will wipe your phone. So make sure you are on a safe kernel and backup your important data.

How do I find the device IMEI?
and what do you mean by " make sure you are on a safe kernel"?
thanks again!
all the data is backed....
You are on ICS stock. But i dont know what kernel you are on and what info about the kernel you have mentioned, seems to be stock. Stock ICS kernels are not safe to do a reset.. so to be safe you need to install a safe kernel ... I would recommend flashing Philz kernel LRT zip from stock recovery..
IMEI is either by daialing *#06# or its in about device > status section
Question is in the title. Have at it!
Tick exclude baseband on flashtool.

Flashtool only seems to be able to flash FTF files. It won't flash a zip, or the uncompressed files.

Yes...
Just flash the .zip in recovery that you want to and if you want to keep a certain baseband or LTE then flash a stock ftf (with the baseband you want) in flashtool and exclude everything EXCEPT baseband. That will then just change the baseband to the one in the ftf and as long as that ftf has the baseband you want then you will be OK.
Baseband and RIL is part of a ROM.
If you want to preserve baseband and RIL from another ROM, change modem files in /system/etc/firmware and /system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so in the ROM zip.

Can firmware files be switched out just that simple, or do I have to edit some kind of config/list of the files so that they are recognized by the flashing mechanism? Is there a way of finding out which stock firmware is absolutely necessary to stay for the device to work optimally?
Also, can the kernel of a locked bootloader phone be updated if the newer kernel is official and unmodified, which is to say it came by official manufacturer means? In my situation, my phone notified me that 9.1.A.1.140 was officially available for my phone which I could not successfully update because CWM Recovery on my phone was an issue for it. After flashing my phone with SEUS to reset it to factory default, it now claims that the version I already had before, 9.1.A.0.489 is now [somehow] the most recent. The only discrepancy is that it is a Rogers phone, but the only FTF I could find for the exact same model is from a Bell phone. They use the exact same hardware, and most likely same baseband (seems to work just fine), but ofcourse comes with a few different vendor apps.
Yes, you can just change those files (I changed whole firmware folder), flash newer radio and newer kernel with flashtool.
But RIL stays almost unchanged in JB versions (if you compare it in editor), so it is probably not necessary to change it.

When I try to flash the FTF over the ROM I get an error saying there is a SIN header mismatch.
The exact error:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";
Hello wisemen,
On a very related note, I would like to flash just my baseband in recovery from a zip (I've never used the flashtool). Is there a baseband repository for the Xperia T anywhere (LT30p model)? If there is, it seems to have evaded the search engines.
Background:
I'm doing this to fix the broken speakerphone and call echo in CM10.1.3.
Thanks in advance.

No. But if you download a ftf for your phone then you can exclude everything EXCEPT baseband to have the same effect (Ensure you UNTICK all the wipe options as well.)
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to root an i9000 2.3.3 XXJVK However Im struggling to find a guide with working download/links
info:
Model - GT-I9000
Firmware - 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVK
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVKCL75655 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
it was recently restored, I'm pretty sure it was 2.3.6 before however it is refusing to update now.
Anyone got a working guide / download links?
I have also seen a few people with IMEI issues should I be backing up the IMEI before somehow?
The aim is to get to 4.X as 2.3 is to laggy and eats battery.
Thanks!!
The best thing to do is to upgrade to either XXJW4 or XXJVU just to be on the safe side using Odin.
In the development section there is a thread to do with CF-Root. These are specific to the firmware you are running on, eg. CF-Root made for XXJW4 can only be flashed on XXJW4.
These come with a custom recovery as well so once you've flashed Cf-Root you can just flash whatever rom you want through recovery.
I'm sorry I can't post links to any of these as it's hard to multitask on an old tablet - searching through the I9000 forums will get you to CF-Root and stuff quickly
IMEI issues only occur because people jump from 2.3.x -> 4.1 and above. To prevent that you have to go from 2.3.x - > 4.0.4 -> whatever rom you want. Tedious, I know, but it prevents IMEI from being lost. If you check your internal storage under a foler called /backup you might find backups of your IMEI as well.
You should just always backup your IMEI before modifying any system component. As soon as you get root access you can do it with terminal command.
