Iv made a previous thread asking a question, but i just want to get this over and done with
im currently on CM7.2 baseband .56 (Gingerbread) and im wanting to go to Arconium 4.0 ICS, now this is where my question comes into play
in order for me to flash arconium it says i need to flash bb72 i cant be bothered right now upgrading to stock ICS 4.0.4 which i cant do through pcc cause i have a custom rom
can i do this... flash the kernel > flash arconium 4.0 ICS > then flash bb72
but if i do that will i still be on bb56 on arconium ICS and would that lead me to bootloops? this is a question im taking seriously cause if i get bootloops i cannot be f*cked going back to stock
EDIT: can i use bb56 on arconium 4.0 ICS and if so could i just flash bb72 after i have installed arconium?

go away mate, FOUFC
you could edit your old thread..
But yes everything shuold work like you said. Dont forget to flash the libs for the baseband
libs? sorry i havn't started on bb's yet
Every baseband patch need their own libs.. Look at the threads from there you get the baseband there should be the libs too
i really have no idea what u r talking about
You have the baseband file which you have to flash with flash tool.
But there are more files you need. These are called "libs" or libraries
theyre in a flashable zip which you flash through recovery.
Look at this thread. There are the ftf files for the flashtool and for the bb 72 the libs.
The libs for over baseband you can get by another thread.
But you dont have to update the baseband for ics. If everything is working dont flash the neweset.
I have bad wifi issues after i flashed bb72 and cant fix them even after flashing my old bb again

Hello guys,
I recently bought my Arc S, and today i Installed CM 7.0.2 105
I tried it and it's nice, kinda, calendar look is awful comparing to original overall some things better, some not - personal point of view.
I was wondering is there a way to reset everything back as it was (some how to would be nice)?
Or If i wanted to have stock based functions (FM, HDMI), but without bloatware and with slightly better battery life, what would you recommend me?
Also, since i installed CM will I be able to download official ICS when SE release it?
Thank you for answering these newbies questions

DooMKernel and a stock based ROM like Acronium or XperiaMOD.
Or completely stock with root, removed bloatware and V6 Supercharger.

Yes, if you relock your BL, you can update it when it's out with PCC/SEUS.
To remove bloatware check my sig for the tutorial

Have u rooted ur rom? if u manually deodex ur rom now, u might not be fully deodex all apps. I would recommend u to flash a custom ROM for simplicity. All the custom ROM here are deodexed.

Sure you can.....revert I mean!!
As a matter of fact, you can revert to exactly what you have at this moment in time.
Have you got ClockworkMod Recovery....
if not, you must install.
When you have CWM.. you just got to make a Nandroid Backup...which is a complete copy/image of your current setup.
This can be restored at any time, bringing your device back to what is your current setup!!!

Hi guys, got nitro hd a few weeks later. Till now never rooted and it's still in gb 2.3.5. Now wanted to try something and thought of upgrade or flashing a roms.
So what I need is, should i go for official ICS or cm rom. And as I'm a noob would like a detailed tutorial on flashing/rooting.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here's my suggestion of how to progress into the custom ROMs world...
1. Read about rooting your Nitro. Look in our Dev Forum for guides on doing it.
2. Root while you're still on 2.3.5 (to circumvent any of the stated issues with rooting Official ICS), also install CWM (ClockworkMod) on it as it will allow you to easily install ROMs.
3. Then try the CM9 ROM nightlies. It's fast, stable and smooth.
4. After you've gotten comfortable with that and have gone through a few nightlies...Then you can feel free to venture forth into the other custom ROMs (MAKE SURE you're familiar with making proper backups in case you want to revert back to previous builds/ROMs), or even the CM10 Preview builds.
Good luck!

Sorry to Hijack .But isnt it like a Pain to Root the Official ICS update ,wouldnt it be easier to root on 2.3.5 and install CWM and then flash ? Im not second guessing you ,I just got my Nitro HD today but been reading that the process to root ICS is kind of long and tricky.

You could be right. I rooted mine back on 2.3.5 so I haven't gone through any of the hassles as have been stated with rooting from official ICS. I shall adjust my original post.
Doble check.
OP double check your baseband version cuase if its 2.3.5 V10j ,it has been stated that its nearly impossible yet doable after many tries.
To be honest, I don't know more details about the android world. Can someone plz link the basics of android like cwm, adb & so I can have some basic knowledge about it.
Actually, I feared I would brick it.
And thanks guys for the replies.

If you wanna try the official ICS, get cwm from ROM manager. Then download honos flash able official ICS. Try it out, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, switch to something like cm9 or cm10 or hono's full throttle or honos aokp, the choices are endless, all you need to do is search .

Try the official ics before custom ics, it's WAY faster than official gingerbread, it's stable and once debloated it's pretty perfect as it is to me.
Then if you want to taste something else, try the cm9/10 but I would let them as a second passage to ics/jb.
For the official rom you can either flashing with lg tool (using the before - after rooting method brianlily posted here) or go with cwm as stated by rani9990, it should be the same.. the substantial difference is that if you don't put the cwm recovery before ics, then you'll need to go through partial unbrick process to revert back to gingerbread, because on ics the cwm won't be possible to install.
just a noob guys hope someone would be interested inhelping me with my arc,i just tried changing or flashing different kinds of kernels but only 1 worked and its doom kernel21 all other kernels didnt work i got stack on bootloops why is that? and can i use doom kernel to Xperia Ultimate HD rom? i already unlock bootloader.

Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.
BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

I really need some help from someone to explain to Me what baseband are!
I think im using -64 (I went to about phone)
So can someone tell me about them and which one provides the best performance! However I already know that the phoenix vendor baseband makes ur partitions bigger (data), and lupus does this from v7 and upwards!
Also how do I install a baseband?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband if you wanted the complicated
but in short It's the firmware that talks to the cellular radio hardware. I believe the basebands for the cdma and gsm phones are different so first i'd figure that out.
Ok tnx but in android the baseband can modify the data partition size and system...

The baseband has nothing to do with the storage on the device. The kernel is setting the size of the partitions as far as i know.
The baseband is really just responsible for telephony stuff
