[Q] Latest baseband Xperia Arc

Which is the latest baseband for the Xperia Arc? Yesterday my phone upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 (android version 2.3.4) with kernel version [email protected] #1, and my baseband is 203028D-56. Is this the baseband i should use? If not which is it?
it newest one.
If you dont use any custom rom, or anything else. Then you have newest one possible.

What do youn mean by "any custom rom, or anything else"? I installed this baseband (56) for use with the [email protected], but after a reboot problem occured, i had to relock the bootloader and download the latest firmware from SEUS. Now i am with a locked bootloader and an unrooted xperia arc @ 2.3.4 android
Thank you btw for the reply!!
that mean you have newest one
Any reason why need to upgrade baseband?

every FW comes with new baseband. (almost)

[Q] How to flash Baseband 58 ??

guys i want to know how to flash baseband 58 from .ftf 4.0.2.A.0.58 Generic Global Hong Kong(World) ....
i'm using JasonStein kernel and MIUI ROM...
will it give me problems if i did flash new baseband on MIUI ROM ?
or i just stick with my current baseband 56 ??
Stick to your baseband, new one can make problems on miui.
Using stock rom there should not be problem.

[Q] (Noob) What is a "Baseband"?

Just as the title states.
What is a Baseband?
What do I need it for?
From what I know what commands the GSM service. Correct if wrong
Baseband Chip is Main for Network (Gsm Carrier) & It configures all the Network Signals of ur phone.According to our Baseband Version .

Compatibility ..
in the other thread .., we were talking on Custom ROM's ..
as they said It's GSM thingy .., And If yo install an incompatible Baseband with the ROM , Like if the ROM works with baseband 62 and you installed baseband 70 , you will get loop boot and the ROM " System " won't start ..
hope It helped ..
Expanding the question, if I may . Ok, now got the idea, but have another question: which (according to your opinion) is the best baseband? I'm in stock 4.0.4, rooted and have the .72, stick with it or try another? Also, is a basebabd a battery dryer?

I think .72 is pretty good.
Some ROMs are optimised for certain basebands.
An unoptimised baseband could drain your battery faster.

Baseband Version for [email protected] Rom

I would like to run the [email protected] rom on my R800i currently running CM9, but my baseband version is currently 56, but the rom needs 58 or 62... does anyone know how to change this so it can work? Sorry, I'm quite a n00b at this :/
Thanks in advance!:good:
Just download the .62 ftf and flash with flashtool... Excluding all except the baseband.

Can´t find a tft with baseband 62. Can only find others. For example R800i 4.0.2.A.0.62 have baseband 64. Can some one please link to one with baseband 62.

Arc s

u have stock Arc s
android version 2.3.4

i want to upgrade to Ice Cream Pureness
what i have to do ??
can i just unlock the bootloder and roted
???
and then i can flash the rom
or i need to have official ics first ?
U can do in both ways. . Either unlock the bootloader.. & flash custom kernel.. Or Stock ics kernel..
OR
Update ur s/w to ics.. , Root it.. , Install cwm recovery. . Then flash the Rom...!:-/

Make sure to have working flashtool and working update service.
Also download at least one applicable ftf file for flashtool.
Make sure that drivers for both tools are in place then you can play with your phone.

If u dont want to unlock the bootloader, then flash any ics stock firmware , install cwm and then flash Ice cream pureness.
If u have already unlockd the BL, flash kernel with cwm first and then flash Pureness rom
