Im a Telus user so i dont need this new baseband or wifi calling update, but im seeing roms getting updated to include
Am i required to install this baseband? Is there a guide somewhere? I just see informal posts by people here and there and they always seem a bit different from one another.
For wifi calling, does it have an effect running on a phone on telus, or do i 'freeze' an app or something?
Ive seen that Juggernaut, possibly Beastmod, and so on, are including it. So i just want to know if i should be updating or if there will be complications without a baseband update. In fact, im not even 100% sure what the baseband is exactly?

Didnt have any mention of Telus.
Alright i did some rom installing, so my only question left is, Does the new modem work for telus users?

I have an At&t version of the Xperia Play (R800at). I have the phone rooted but the bootloader is still locked. I hate the bloated ROM that At&t has and wanted to flash a new one. I really like the Cola rom but it does not work on At&t. Is there a ROM I can flash on the stock At&t kernal that does not have all the bloat? I really just use the phone for calls, texting and games (mostly emulators). Can I go to another stock ROM? I would like 2.3.3 so I can run all of my converted PS1 games, I really don't want to reconvert them for 2.3.4. I do not know what info from my phone I would need to figure out what ROM to download and use. Any information would be greatly appriciated.
I have the same thing except my bootloader is unlocked. I've tried many of the roms on here myself but the baseband from AT&T doesn't give me the "can hear the other person but they cant hear me half the time" problem from the stock rom and I can get 4G on it whereas the other roms do not. Is there any roms that use the baseband from AT&T and get rid of the bloat or is there one that can just use the baseband from the stock rom? I used to have a Galaxy I so not being able to flash different basebands all the time is new to me.
--edit---
After poking around and ignoring some things different stuff said, I was able to get cyanogenmod 7.2 (freexperia) on my phone and I then installed the -36 baseband and libs after and everything appears to be working good so far. Going to test a bit with phone calls yet, but as long as I can get online and my phone calls arent messed up this is exactly what I wanted because I love cyanogenmod, I just know it kept saying I needed to have a specific set up but that never worked for me with the baseband, I just went for it and I think the problem I always had was not having the lib files to upload after flashing cyan

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the topic, but could you describe the issue where you can hear the other person but they can't hear you a little more? I seem to frequently encounter a similar situation where it could take 10+ seconds before the other person can hear me speak, but I can hear them the whole time. By now most of my friends and family know how to deal with it, but before they would just hang up on me. If I reboot the phone, it fixes it for a while, but then it comes back after some time and takes another reboot to resolve.
The phone itself is a SIM unlocked, bootloader locked R800a model from last year's Google I/O. It uses the same frequencies as AT&T for 3G and 2G and I'm using it on AT&T as well. I have the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4) ROM installed, but it has Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56 and not -36. Is -36 the best to use with AT&T?
same phone
I have the exact same phone and I had the exact same problem. TrueAncestor v. 1.4 worked wonders. It was easy to do, it was nicely themed, and the bloatware is all gone! I really recommend.
Here is a list of ftf files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Try flashing a Generic, I dont know how the R800at response to generic R800i, but i have a R800a that has no issues when flashing it with R800i, also i think you could clean the bloatweare with Flashtool, might want to try it.
Last night I installed the -36 baseband from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469473
So far, so good. Calls and data both work as normal. I'll need to do more testing to be sure whether it fixed my problem or not.
I should also note that all I did was use Flashtool to flash the baseband .ftf file over top of my already installed North American Generic 4.0.2.A.0.42 that I got from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326459
There's another topic on this same thing and it sounds like using the -36 baseband with the .42 firmware is a good way to go for the Xperia Play 4G (R800at). You can find that one here:

My CDMA radio seems to fail all OTA updates, but for some reason the LTE radios do not. I as of now have a baseband version of L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FG01, and I am running stock, unrooted, locked, 4.0.4. My 3g does seem to be working relatively normally, but I really don't feel like being stuck so many updates behind.
Is there basically no way of resolving this issue other than unlocking and manually updating the radios? Because while it certainly is an option, I don't really feel like wiping if I don't have to.
Wrong section Admin, please post to General Discussion.
I apologize. I had both sections open in different tabs, and accidentally posted in the wrong one.
I'm posting a new thread because nothing I've found has come close to answering my questions, so I appreciate any of you bearing with me here.
I've been running a custom ROM originally downloaded from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947 thread, using an older version than they currently show. I'd really like to post in that thread but since I just registered I cannot post in dev-forums.
I've been running a custom 4.1.1 Touchwiz ROM, rooted, modified PRL, TWRP, etc. for quite a comfy while now and everything has worked great. Stable, fast, all that good stuff. Info:
Baseband version
L710VPLF9
Build number
JRO03L.L710VPLBJ7
Kernel
LJ7 variant
Modem
LF9 (works better than anything I can find in my area, paired with custom PRL. 300MB roaming data cap for those of you interested....I racked up 16.5GB one month when I was tethering while roaming....got that letter [then got WiFi]).
So what I really want to know is why am I receiving notifications for an OTA update, and if I'm happy with how stable the build I'm working on is, should I even bother trying to "fix something that isn't broken"?
The OTA update popped up as a notification so I checked it out, and it's advertised as 157.6 MB. Has anyone in similar shoes see anything similar pop up? Is it a 4.1.2 update, and is it worth ****ing with? Or should I be happy with what I have? Is this a reflection on my marriage?
Happy to provide any other information needed...regarding the phone.

It's MB1. The newest OTA. As far as roaming, the new modem may help you. But you can also search the threads and install the modem seperatley from the ROM. If you don't want to see the notification for the update, the are a few ways to stop it. You can let it download and install, it will take you out to your custom recovery and fail. You can just reboot your system in the update notification will not come back. you can also freeze system update using Titanium Backup this should also stop the notification. and if you're looking for the latest and greatest, there are plenty of options out there for custom ROM's. There is a couple of MB1 ROM's already up and there is a bunch of MA6 ROM's up as well, which is the variation right before and MB1.
And to answer the question of why you are receiving the update, it is because the system update component of touchwiz, which is still active in your ROM. However it does use the stock recovery to install, so that is why It will fail when it boots out to your customer recovery.

Thank you for your timely reply, it was informative and appreciated. I have WiFi at work and home and almost everywhere else I go, or at least decent 3G speeds, so I'm not inclined to update the modem. I guess what I want to know is if MB1 or whatever the latest and greatest is really has any significant improvements over Jellybean builds. If you think any good custom ROMs are worth checking out, I'm happy for links and/or more input :good:

I'll chime in here.
If you want to see the effect of the updated baseband on your 3G speeds, I'd say just flash the MB1 baseband and try it out. It's in the thread you originally posted, titled "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update." If you find it's slower than what you currently have, just flash the old baseband. All the old baseband files are located in the same post, just under the spoiler tag "OLD VERSIONS."
As far as upgrading your ROM, I typically am a fan of the "latest and greatest" things (as are a lot of people are here on XDA). But I understand your desire for stability (I just spent an hour this morning trying to fix mms on my phone, for the fourth time in two weeks). That's the great thing about Nandroid backups. If you flash a new ROM, realize it's not what you wanted, you can, in one easy step, return to what you had before. I'd say try out the MB1 Freeza ROM (v4.1.2), and if you really don't like the update, restore your nandroid of LJ7
Hope this helps!
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here although I have gotten plenty of helpful information from the site in venturing off into rooting and customizing my ION.
I have the Xperia Ion LT28at, which is rooted. I just had a warranty exchange on the phone due to the microphone completely going out. On my previous ION I rooted it and flashed the lt28i firmware to get rid of the att firmware. I noticed a problem after flashing lt28i firmware that I don't believe I encountered before. If I were to be listening to spotify or pandora with head phones or speakers plugged in, if I got a call during or even hours after of listening to music, I would get this weird underwater, alien sounding voice and I sounded the same way to the person on the other end. Has anyone else experienced this? With the new phone I have I'd like to put the deodexed lt28i firmware so I can do a few mods that require it to be deodexed and of course limited to roms due to the locked bootloader. Any Ideas?
Thanks
It might be, as I could be wrong, that it is caused by the cross flash of basebands. Try flashing every bit of int. fw except for baseband (or flashing the att baseband only)
Thanks. That thought actually crossed my mind today about flashing the att baseband only after installing the other firmware. Now is there a difference between the lt28h and lt28i firmware? I see here it states if you want the lt28h over the lt28i firmware with lte then flash just the baseband after installing the lt28h. I was just curious if there was a difference or advantage of one over the other since there is specific instructions in case someone would want the h over the i.
Not knowing what exactly to search for when I originally asked the question I wasn't sure if there was anything on here related. After browsing around a little I ran across 2 post answering discussing both of my questions, no answers on the baseband issue but I'll continue to follow. Thanks for the help. This could be deleted.
^^i too became aware of this problem yesterday...
Your scratchy garbled thing is a known bug with any LT28i ICS firmware being used on a Lt28at. To my knowledge; no one has been able to completely remove it unless running gingerbread or stock AT&T ICS....or the hybrid thing of Lt28h firmware with att baseband...
the weirder part, though, are these baseband flashing issues. That is the difference between the LT28h and i. The 'h' doesn't support LTE, and its firmware's baseband doesn't utilize it. So guys would run LT28h with an AT&T baseband, and NOT have this garbled thing, yet still have LTE.
So some of us figured running any AT&T baseband with LT28i firmware would remove the bug, right? Flashtool seemingly won't do it...it says the flash of the baseband is successful, but it doesn't change anything on the phone...
either way...I'd say just deal with it for the next week or so...JB will be out, and we'll have plenty of other bugs to figure out too haha.
We did indeed flash the at GB base band for the h ics firmware. I will say that the problem was still there with this setup though not as frequent. The only confirmed rom on at devices to not do it are the stock roms from att. Why we can not flash it now I have no idea. I also wounder if it still works for the h roms now?? I will also add that I did notice the issue more when going in and out of 4g. Now that 4g is on all over town it has not done it. I say that and it will tomorrow haha. All we can do is wait now and with two firmwares being leaked it cant be long before a ftf shows up somewhere.
has anyone tried flashing the ATT GB baseband over an LT28i ICS? I only tried ATT ICS baseband, which didn't change the version number (but i haven't had a garbled call since?)...
Hello all. Been a computer geek for 25+ years, and an android geek for a little over a year. I have done numerous flashes on Continuum, Fascinate, Nexus, and various other phones. I cannot seem to get a "clear and defined" answer on this question:
I have a TOTAL nandroid backup via ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2
I have a TOTAL system & app backup via Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.1
I am rooted with Chainfire's SuperSU v1.34
Phone
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
Android Version:
4.1.2
Baseband Version:

I did ALL the OTA updates from 4.0.1 to 4.1.2 prior to PagePlus flash. Had phone flashed to PagePlus with 100% working 3G, text, talk, and MMS. IF I flash a custom ROM (ie: CyanogenMod Nightly build, MOAR, etc...) will it render my PagePlus inoperable or require reflashing to PagePlus with every custom ROM flash? At $50.00 per flash that can get expensive. IF it DOES screw up the PagePlus flashing, can I just do either of the previously mentioned backups, and have my PagePlus flash settings magically re-appear? Or will it require a visit to my local PagePlus retailer for another flashing? My previous phones didnt require "flashing to PagePlus" since they were verizon phones and can be updated by simply dialing *228 or *22890.
Short answer: No
You don't lose your phone number when flashing roms, right?
APN settings may need to be modified manually though for MMS, etc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew you didnt lose your number or carrier settings when you flash a custom rom to a verizon based 3g phone (not sure about verizon 4g LTE phones tho), since PagePlus uses verizon towers, and to update roaming capabilities, and PRL is easily accomplished by the *228 or *22890. BUT when using a Sprint based 4g phone, if you flash a new rom, or go backwards to an older oem rom, I was under the impression that EVERYTHING goes back to the default Sprint settings, and that the PagePlus side of things is forever gone. But noone can give me a definitive YES or NO on this, and at $50 a pop for mistakes can get expensive quickly
I have flashed the following Verizon phones with with "multiple" OEM & Custom ROMS with NO problems: Continuum SCH-I400, Fascinate SCH-I500, Droid X, HTC Incredible, HTC Vogue Touch (installed android instead of win 6.x), Verizon Nexus SCH-I515 . None of these required anything other than OTA programming to work 100% with Page Plus (except the Nexus which I could NEVER get on PagePlus no matter how hard we tried).

Page Plus Mystery Solved?
First off..... sorry for posting in the "general" area with a question. I'll try to be more careful in the future......
Second.... Answer to my own question, and for anyone else in the "not knowing".
I bit the bullet yesterday and flashed 3 custom roms. Cyanogenmod, Miui, and MiBox, and then flashed back to my nandroid oem 4.1.2 JB I had 100% working Talk, Text, and MMS on ALL 3 roms, as well as the oem.
So, the answer to my question, YES, you can flash custom roms without losing PagePlus flash. I did NOT do an Odin flash, but I did do a factory reset, and still had all my settings intact.
Thanks to all the helpful people who gave opinions/pointers. Your work with the devices is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Keep up the good work.

I'm hoping you can help me with my similar question. I have a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus (SCH-I515) that I successfully programmed to use Page Plus. (I have no idea what I actually did, but I was able to follow the instructions I found online with no problems.) It's currently running JB 4.2.2 and Paranoid Android 3.6, and I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it.
I don't really understand flashing and all that (for instance, what ODIN is or what the ramifications of different operations are), and I can't seem to get an answer to my question.
Ideally, I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it (either stock/rooted or using one of the stable ROMs out there (CM 10?)), AND I'm hoping I don't have to reconfigure all the settings I've spent the last two weeks setting up.
Any insight? Thanks!
