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.

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

[Q] How to update modem baseband when using custom ROM?

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.

Yes, tried. It works using Flashtool 9.18. Remember to tick TA, FORTA, PAR. I must untick BASEBAND, otherwise keep FC on the Enterprise Service
