i've been looking for the same thing, and i tried to flash .36 baseband, having .42 firmware. In the Arc forum you can find libraries and the baseband itself; flashed the baseband via flashtool, then flashed via recovery the libraries, clear cache, reboot, and i get no signal whatsoever. rebooted again, nothing, no signal, no gsm, no wcdma.
I don't know, maybe it doesn't work for my country, i'm from Italy...

same thing happened to me in uk
are you sure the libs are for PLAY not arc?

no i'm not
But i don't know, where i'm supposed to get this baseband? Doomlord in his (xplay) kernel topic said it's recomended to have this .36 baseband, but in xperia play's forum there's no topic and no baseband topic...

actually i'm reading the baseband patch topic in arc forum and there doomlord said the libs works fine for him... so it's out problem

You can't use the radio from an arc rom, your lucky you didnt brick your phone just use one of the .ftf files from the play, and just flash the baseband using flashtool.

wait a minute, maybe i didn't explained myself...
i'm saying i'm on stock .42 xperia play firmware, then flashed the .36 baseband from the arc forum.
Or are there explicit xperia play baseband ftf around here?
Edit: oh crap i'm an idiot. You mean to download the entire firmware for the play and, when using flashtool, just flash the baseband from that... right? if that's so, i can find .62 firmware for the play, but can't find anywhere this .36 ... or is it a previous release?

[Q] I cannot locate what firmware I have on my Xperia Play...

i'm need to loacte what original firmware i have on my xperia play to flash a rom but I am not sure how to do that. nothing in the about phone settings has a .62 and i am all kinds of confused.

I'm downloading the .62 firmware so ic an flash DooMLoard's ICS leak, but I can't even find flashtool to do so. x.x
I hope you know what you're doing, because getting the latest UK firmware on R800x isn't as simple as flashing via flashtool. I would know, I've done it

well i've done everything i could and i guess I'll just wait for an official release.
Too many outdated methods and what not.
If anything I'll just stick to my G2x on Tmo.

Thanks for the help.

Xperia Play R800at microphone issue

This is going to be kind of hard to explain through text, so bare with me.
All of a sudden lately, my phone's microphone has been glitching out and it's really throwing me off. The microphone will stop working, but it's on a pattern. Every other call, the microphone will not work. Most of the time I get calls from people, it falls on the time when the microphone is not working, so I have to hang up & call them back and it works fine.
I've had the phone for a few months and I'm using TrueAncestor 2.3.7 but the issue has only been recent.
Did you already tried another rom ?
if not try that !
And if you have a backup before the problem, restore it !
If nothing helps try bringing it back to the store , let them see it mostly of the times it works
Hi I am new and I need help with the same problem. I flashed the R800at to all the versions that can be rooted of the R800i generic and the R800a and I have the same problem with the microphone muting itself and I cannot fix it since I am not a developer :S. Could it be the Apn? I tried downloading the Apn settings before putting it in manually, but it says that it cannot download load it. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Same issue, I'm pretty sure it's not a rom issue cause it happens to me also on every rom. Could it be kernel related perhaps?

It is probably the kernel. I don't know how to edit the kernel though. The At&t kernel works, but not with the R800a system. I tried to flash it, but is there a way to edit the two kernels?
You must flash other kernel than one you're using

Are there any other kernels to use that can be used with Flashtool for locked bootloaders?
Perhaps an older version of DoomLord's kernel?
Would the stock modules Doomlord made would fix the issue?

Okay, so, I did some digging and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399&page=3. captain67 talks about the .42 and .62 basebands:
.62 is supposed to have some memory fixes. Personally I didn't see much of a difference. The AT&T version has had signal compatibility issues with certain a/i roms and basebands so if the current one is working well I'd leave it. Flashtool has an option to exclude baseband so you won't need to flash it separately
So what build are you (both) using? The r800i or a? Also, I'm testing out the different basebands that I have and seeing which one will work.

Sorry, I forgot the explanation! We have to find the baseband ftf file that will work with the xperia play 4g. The original model's besband ends in 62. So, we have to find out how to get the 62 baseband. I tired flashing it from the AT&T ftf file, but no luck.
Edit:
Actually, I'm not running 2.3.4 anymore, but I'll try it from there. (I was running 4.0.4) No luck with 2.3.4 either..
I found the working baseband!!
Thanks to romico47 for the working baseband for the r800at!
Find it here to download
Working baseband for r800at (-36 baseband)
Note: I don't believe his lib files are necessary. It works for me without them, but you may need to flash them via CWM if it doesn't work automatically for you. Also, check everything off except for exclude baseband and wipe cache. That's how it worked for me w/o lib files.

It worked for my 4.0.4 build I used also. And, did you just load up the bootloader? Or did you load everything and then the modules?

Yes. Since we already have the fota from the previous R800i version, we just need the baseband only. The lib files aren't needed either. I only flashed my cache and my baseband and it worked. I still don't have any dropped calls, plus my close enough HSPA+ data.
I believe it worked for me as well (knock on wood). Flashed the apk and muting seems to be resolved. Thanks for this solution before my phone met an untimely end in a fit of rage.

[Q] Q: It's possible to change baseband in R800i to R800a

I have tried to change Baseband of my R800i to R800a with ftf files I got in this forum excluding everything except Baseband but I got unknown baseband as a result using R800a Telcel I didn't used Generic R800a file because seems it doesn't have any information of the baseband.
is necesary some other information maybe libraries or something else.? Can somebody give me a R800a ftf file that includes Baseband information?
Thank you in advance.
in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399, try flashing firmware from elnacho as Telcel's Xperia's Play are all R800a select only flash baseband in Flashtools and the job is done

[Q] is baseband important when you are moving towards New Custom rom?

any one plz tell me last night i flashed baseband 56 for Blend miui should i change baseband for another Custom Rom?
Using Xperia Arc S
For Gb Roms - Baseband 64 is recommended
For ICS/JB Roms - Baseband 77 is recommended.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
No! Baseband is basicly to do with making phone calls mms etc (short explanation) you do not have to change it for every rom unless the Dev recommends a particular baseband or you have communication problems.I have probably changed mine twice in the last year.:good:
Am stuck
i dont Know Y. i was using Baseband 64 earlier tonight. then this dude recomende 56 kernel for his rom. i did.
now am flashing 64,72,77,83 every time its Giving me an error
That's why I have only changedmine twice in a year I would return to stock and start from the beginning :fingers-crossed:
this means av to move back to stock by repairing my phone by PC companion and then Root it again and install custom Rom?

I'm not a expert on basebands I try to stick to same one unless I have major problems.I understand you need to flash the libs zip file with cwm included with basebands and also obviously flash your ftf baseband file.Also use the latest version of flashtool follow this link for basebands you probably been there already but it as the basebands plus lib files Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688049 :fingers-crossed:If not do more research maybe return to stock Also read this Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382657 Also update a guy in another thread had same problem and used old version of flashtoool Quote " Problem solved with flashtool 0.6.8.0" you could try that version as well.

What model do you have and which ROM baseband are you using? I guess both are different and thus this is causing the problem.
I believe you must have flashed wrong BASEBAND to your model. It could be due to Custom ROM or wrong STOCK rom.
If you just find your phone model FTF, you will easily fix the data issues. Check your phone's box for it's model number and baseband
Good Luck

Download ftf according to your phone and flash it via flash tool(not Sony) . Just tick baseband in right side while flashing and unchecked everything else.
Good luck

Thank you I will try it
But is there anyway to extract the baseband only and flash it with cwm, I just need to know the files needed for this operation

It's the easiest trick which I told you. You may flash it via recovery but that will need a flash able baseband and you'll need to work on it.
However in this you just do this :
Download ftf n flashtool.
Turn off your phone n boot into fastboot n then just select the RIGHT ftf and flash only baseband. It'll take less than a minute. Remember to tick only baseband and nothing else.
Good luck
