I want to Install the newest baseband, but I don't know what's that .
Could you give it to me
Be more specific with your question.
This forum is about 3 Models. Xperia S, ACRO S and iON. So mention your current model and the baseband you have right now. So that other users can help you with that.
I don't know it clearly. I just flash the XZX ROM,and my signal always lost. So, I wanna ask for help
You are using Xperia S? The XZX ROM is using the latest 0.55 firmware base by SONY. SO I am thinking the it includes the latest baseband already.
It's not necessary that the latest baseband will solve the issue. You can try the 0.45 or 0.50 baseband too. See which one suits your network. And contact the developer of the ROM also.
Tell the problem that you are facing, post in that thread too.

Hi,
I've got official rom 4.0.2.A.0.42, with .56 baseband
I actually have a problem with the bluetooth and hands free of my car.
I would like to know if there is a newer (or just different) baseband that I can try to flash with rom I have, and try to see if that fixes my problem
SO, is there a baseband different to .56 that I can use with .42 rom?
If so, please would you be so kind to give me a link?
If there is a baseband, I can just flash it with flashtool, can I?
And it's not necessary to have unlocked bootloader, is it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Alberto
i dont know if it will work on your rom, but tere is the new 58 baseband.
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.
Hello Community,
I've got my Xperia Play from a friend, so I can't tell for sure but I guess it was updated to GB 2.3.x after November 2011. (Assuming Xperia Play runs on Ginger Bread by default, sorry if I'm wrong)
Well, my aim is to root my Xperia Play. I tried it with the Easy Root Kit from DoomLord, unfortunately without success.
Then i noticed the major warning, that the method won't work for ICS or any phone upgraded to GB 2.3.x after 11/2011.
So i guess that's my problem.
After further investigating, i think the solution might be to flash an older GB version onto my phone, then using DoomLord kit and after that updating OTA, to keep root.
Well I'm really new to this, so I'm not sure if this is the best way (or if this way is even a solution) so I wanted to ask that and what version I should flash to, in order to use DoomLords kit.
Thank you
Xperia Play R800i
Android version: 2.3.4 (Gingerbread i guess, but don't know where to look it up)
Build-Number: 4.0.2.A.0.69
Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
If you need any further information please tell me. I can also post the report from DoomLords batch file, if its needed.
What model of xperia play? R800x, R800i, R800at, R800t?
You need a .58 or .42 firmware you can't root .69 with that method. You can flash another firmware with Flashtool.
Hmm, you need a german .42 ftf to root and OTA update to .69. But i have never found a german .42 ftf. The .42 which can be downloaded from the Android Development section is a World Version, which can´t be updated to .69 because .69 is a german market version.
There are two methods to get to .69 with root
1) Flash german .42 with Wotanserver
-You´ll have to pay 2 Euro
-Important:choose .42 AND in drop down menu 2.3.4 german generic trade
-Will erase your user data installed before
-root with Superoneclick and OTA update to .69
2) Through Bootloader
-Unlock bootloader, (official method from Sony or the alejandro guy)
- Flash a pre rooted Kernel and CWM
- Flash superuser, busybox via CWM
I´ve used method one. Didn´t want to unlock bootloader for now.

Its a Xperia Play R800i, i put that info in my first post already.
Seems you overlooked it, it's near the bottom of my post, under the thank you
@UNCUT88RAW:
Firstly thank you for the helpful post. Unfortunately the solutions you told me, do not make me smile
But i still have some questions, before I'll decide what to do:
- i'm not limited to german versions, am I? (honest question, may sound ironic)
- what would be the disadvantages if staying on a .42 world version?
- is there no other world version higher than .42? I can't imagine the german version being the highest
- aand you told me to root via superoneclick in your first solution, can't I use DoomLords kit at that step, too? I'm not too into paying, and then messing up at rooting my phone anyways xD
looking forward for your help
thank you
Just flash the f/w man (besides the 1 u r on) n root it with any method u want. Its really not a big deal to flash any f/w. Just be sure to do it RIGHT the 1st time. That is make sure u hav all the driver(s) needed install on ur pc n a working flashtool which i think u can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384535.
Happy flashing n gud luck.
I will try to downgrade to version .58 or .42, it rooted easily with doomlord kit, and i prefer .58 enhanced, it will give large internal storage also if u gonna try custom rom, most of it compatible with .58 rom version.. Its run smoothly for gaming too

1) .58 is the highest firmware version which can be rooted directly with Superoneclick. On .62 or .69 you need to use the methods i´ve explained earlier to gain root. You can flash different market versions (german, french or englisch market) of these firmwares, the only difference is the bloatware on it.
If you want the highest version .69 with root, you´ll need german version of .42 and an OTA update to .69.
2) .69 includes a memory fix which prevents the phone from restarting. Also has newest baseband 66, which has the best battery life and signal reception. It also contains new bloat but it can be removed through Titanium Backup. GMail is renamed to Google Mail because of a legal issue.
i know that this memory fix is included in .58 and upwards but i don´t know if this new baseband is included in any other firmware.
3).42, .58, .62, .69
4) You can root with any tools which you like.

Forgot to mention that there is a japanese firmware for Xperia Play which has 67 baseband (highest baseband). Some people say that it has the best performance in regards to gaming, battery life and signal reception. Unfortunately, it has another modelnumber (S0-015D i believe) and might give problems with some games because of it. When you change build.prop to R800i than it should solve this issue. Didn´t test that firmware. It can be found in the Android Development section of the Xperia Play.

I'm interested in trying out that japanese firmware you mentioned. But got a couple of questions again.
1) If I won't like the outcome. How do I get back to my current state? Do I need to back up my current .69? Or can I find german .69 easy on the web?
2) "When you change build.prop to R800i than it should solve this issue. Didn´t test that firmware." - What exactly do I have to change in the build.prop? Shall I simple replace the build.id from the japanese version with the one for R800i?
Thank you for your help
1) You can flash .69 ftf directly via Flashtool since there´s a ftf available. Search for it on the web. However, userdata might get lost.
2) There´s a line in build.prop where the modelnumber is saved. I think it has the name ro.modelnumber. But i don´t know it exactly. Please google after build.prop for further details or look in the xda forums. To edit build.prop you need an Fileeditor and root.
Link for japanese firmware: (Please read the thread.)

Firmware must be rooted through unlocking bootloader. Use ftf for Flashtool.
Basically, I just downgraded to gingerbread from ICS 4.1.b.0.587 due to performance issues. What are the benefits of flashing the latest baseband which is the one from 4.1.b.0.587 the one from that is version 77, works fine, back to the question how will it perform on gingerbread and is it a more preferable one to use or not, also how are newer baseband's better, since they are responsible for the communication.

Hi All,
First of all, congratulations for the forum and great project on adroid!!! I'm new on this, and hope learn something here and who knows help in some development.
I will inform a lot of things on this post since i don't know what can be relevant....
I unlocked my phone, and installed ICS Beta from Sony, and used for a while, but, I really want to use CM 9 or 10... so i've downloaded, the stable packages of CM9.1, and CWM5 and installed on the phone as described in many places here and on the CM Wiki, and all functions work ok besides my wifi, it simply doesn't start(Don't star on CM 9 /9.1/ 10)...
Ive also installed baseband mods hoping this can help, but nothing happens....
The same thing happend with ICS Beta From Sony but the Dommlord package to enable WIFI and Bluetooth helped on that version...
So my need is to enable my wifi connection that is dead on the CM 9.1, the phone shows enabling wifi message for a long time and never starts the wifi hardwares... any tips to help me ???
I'm Using a Xperia Arc Lt15a with CMW 5+ and CM 9.1 (FXP139 for now but this happens with any version of CM 9.XXX)...
I Know that SE made diffrent hardwares to some places of the world, so i'm from Brasil, if this helps...
Thanks in advance!!
Leonardo.
No One can help??
Theres a wifi patch addon. Install that. Look at the rom thread
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Install suitable baseband and libs if available.
Look at the ROM thread for supporting baseband.
Look at the thread for basebands and libs -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688049
Not sure why anyone would choose to flash the Beta at this stage. Flash the latest stock ROM first then CM and report back.
Thanks
Hi, Guys,
Thanks for all replys... i'll try the basebands, but need to read more about it, i don't know wich version is the correct for my device or location, ...
