[Q] How to update modem baseband when using custom ROM? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Which Baseband Works Best For You?

I think the Baseband is much important in a Rom. I tried Lots of Baseband for me the best XXKPK. Someone telling XXKPG and the other one XXKPM etc. For example my phone connect with 11 Mpbs with KPM , 36 Mpbs with KPK in my garden same position.
Is there any app or something to try and get real results?
This should not be something relatively or the Baseband is not personel for me good and for other bad.
Lets make something with this Subject together.
Regards.
battery drain is also very dependent on baseband. so do you want the one with best battery drain, best reception or best balance?
the baseband of the latest firmware which is via kies available in you region should be the best
for me the lastest XXKPM it has not changed to a lot in the several signals, the only obvious change is the 2G that now it goes very faster also in the switch

I can confirm that, esp. for 2G
also battery drain is bit better now (before stock and KPK)
and call quality is better and that is what I like most of the new baseband. Less noise.

So, the Baseband is change by country. Therefore XXKPM is really bad for me..
My matter is, There is no firmware for Turkey. Im searching for 3 days but couldnt find anything.

For you, ZSJV1,,
I'm using XXKPM and it works like a charm for me. Don't know if it's a placebo or not, but i feel the wifi signal better when i'm far from the router, and also 2G is faster. Also calls are better. Less noise.

XXXKPM works good for me, but is very similar to KPL baseband

flash new baseband

hey
Im currently using apocalypse rom and its running pretty good on my ace.
I read a post saying that its better to install a different baseband (XXKPT)
im abit confused cause on my phone info now it says baseband: S5830NEKT2 and version 2.3.7
but the xxkpt is 2.3.6 ?
so shouldnt the 2.3.7 be a better baseband?
There is no need to change the baseband unless you are having any problems in the rom because of it.
The baseband change referred in the apocalypse thread is for changing the region of the firmware, not the version. You may use 2.3.7 for you region, but if there is any problem with the rom that a reflash or fresh Odin install is not solving, or due to app 2 sd scripts, then you should try a firmware from a different region, it has helped many people.
If the region(firmware's) you are going for has a different version then you have no choice but to downgrade.

thanks for the info. its much clearer now!
i did want to try a different baseband because of the app2sd bugs on the one i have.(with link2sd and amarullz)
It seems quite straightforward to flash another baseband with odin so might give it a go.
is there anyway to bkup the one i have now? or to find a download link? had a quick look on sammobile.com but didnt find the one i currently have(S5830NEKT2)
You can make a cwm backup,but i don't know if it backs up the baseband or not.
i mean if you restore this on another firmware then you will get this baseband back or not, i am not sure about that.

Yes, it does...
I'm not sure to completely understand.... If I choose the baseband of my country (XWKS9) and I flash on my cm7.2 stable official I'll change the firmware also no ?? If yes can you tell me how to change the baseband without change firmware ?
Thanks

Just flash the cwm zip for baseband or also known as modem...it will only change the baseband then...but i don't see much need of doing so because it's seldom that baseband causes problems...

It is quite rare but its there with the apocalypse rom, somehow the rom +sdext scripts have different compatibility with different basebands.

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
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.

Xperia Z LTE problem

HI,
For some reason LTE i not working in my country (israel)
my carrier told me that i must have 4.3 rom which is not available by regular update.
Is there any way to solve this?
i read something about updating the baseband.
Thanks
update the software using flashtool, you don't need to wait for your carrier to update the firmware
