I loaded CM7107 with baseband 64.Everything works fine except of battery drain. I read in the forum that firmware may play some role.
How can I know which firmware am I running?
in device info in settings or read chanellog for cm7 there shoudl be version of frimeware.

I don't think it is but I can't seem to find any working Xperia Arc 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42) firmware at the moment and I only have the firmware for the arc s I've been searching for hr's now with no luck , this ICS isn't working so well on my device .
No, but here's the lt15 thread.
I think I've already down loaded this maybe I just don't have the program to open it .
It's for flashtool which is the first post on the development section. The instructions are fairly easy to follow, use it to flash stock roms. The files such as the one I linked contain the rom, baseband and kernel.
Have a look at this thread here. It has a list of firmwares for both LT15 and LT18, including Generic USA 2.3.4 (.62).
For the ICS Generic USA 4.0.4, check out this thread.
If you're prepared to flash ROMs, I'd suggest you give ICS a try once again. I find it pretty good. Perhaps the version you were using earlier was buggy.
Cheers! Hope this helped.
EDIT: You can find the latest version of Flashtool at its homepage on github here.
I noticed when I installed the new ROM on my Arc that there are a few basebands mentioned (56. 60. 70. etc). What is the difference between them? Which one is best for me? Are they location specific or is the higher number always newer/better?

Baseband is the software for the CDMA cgipset in your phone (GSM and wirelles). Baseband version represents the software version and offcourse like any software is best to have the latest software . Now, the latest baseband for arc / arc s is BB72... but from my personal experience for better battery life BB70 is the best.
Now, be carefull before flashing any baseband, Kernel and Rom is dependent on this baseband, and certain combinations (basebands and roms) might not work .
Here is my configuration, which i find the best posible :
Baseband : 70
Kernel : Arc night 3.3 Stock or Sirkay if you want OC
Rom : JJ`s Hybrid Rom 3.2 stable
not the latest is the best, it's location specific! See Flashing a baseband and why you should do it. Optimum baseband means harmony between battery life and signal reception. Try to look in the thread for your location, if it is not there, try experimenting with various basebands (make few phone calls before switching to another). For custom ROMs its best to ask its developer.

Hi
I am using lg lu6200 running sphinx v3. I flashed baseband 167. I want to know how to identify which baseband are you using. Because when you go in setting >software info >under baseband version this version is shown "MSM8660/MDM9600". Now how do you know which baseband is installed. Because before flashing this 167 baseband, the version number was still the same. BTW by flashing baseband 167 i am observing a great battery improvement. 100% at 7:00AM and 67% at 5:35pm. Moderate use calls and many sms.
Hello all. I have a I9195T (Telstra, Australia - Serranoltexx), which I took the plunge and rooted (thank you arco68!) and then installed CM10.2 direct from the CM wiki page. This is working great, but I am bit confused as to how the modem works. I appear to have retained my baseband (phew!), but wonder how this translates to using other custom ROM's from XDA etc.
If they are made for a different baseband (but for I9195) is it possible to backup the MODEM firmware, flash another ROM and then flash the MODEM over again to retain the baseband? If this is possible where do I find the MODEM firmware to back it up? I've had a search but I think I am missing the really low level understanding of how the MODEM itself fits into the ROM picture.
Any help appreciated, even if its just a search term suggestion or link.
edit: I should put my baseband is I9195TDVUAMH1, using 1800mhz LTE.

As far as i know our devices does not have any limitations concerning flashing ROMs and having an "incorrect" Modem.
I would recommend though to have always the latest modem.

You can get some more info via this thread:

Hi everyone,
does anyone know the (technical/ chipset wise) differences between these 2 models,
I've got unlocked GT-I9195L (Telcel) with stock ROM off eBay, so I rooted the device and flashed CM 11-20140207-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx (Kernel [email protected]), every thing works except the phone wont connect to my carrier, I live in EU.
I've tried to flash almost all available serranoltexx CM using ether CWM and TWRP - but no dice same issue on all ROMs.
So in my opinion and correct me if I`m wrong the issue could be the Baseband version which is I9195LUBUBNC1.
Only information I was able to find regarding those two models is that they are basically the same, as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50294975&postcount=5
Google wasn't helpful - found little or no information regarding the I9195L model...
So my question is:
Is it possible to flash another Baseband (for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545784) on my phone.
Thanks!
Anyone?
