Older GB baseband on JB - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an at and using a JB ROM but the newer base bands from the 800i versions are horrible in my area. Usually have to play phone tag to get people to hear me. I can hear them find but they can't hear me. It was the same thing doing an ICS ROM as well. I remember I was able to load different base bands for ICS (can't find the thread anymore). Is it possible because I love JB but not being able to talk on the first few calls is bad for me and work. Any help here?

Yea basically that exactly, I wanted to use the patch because -36 is the best for my area. 3G/4G (I have the at&t play so I have 4g) wasnt the big issue because in my area we dont have 4g yet, but if anyone would call (or i would call) when on any of the newer basebands, I could hear them but they couldn't hear me. After playing call tag for awhile, it would work, but if I went somewhere and switched towers, I would have to play "tag" all over again. Being a manger of a store I need to be accessable all the time so it was causing issues with work. Thanks anyway. If anyone DOES happen to get -36 working with some of the JB Roms (I used pacman and turbo to try out) PLEASE post on this thread so I can try it out. I bought the play for gaming, but I kept my PSP. I'm glad I did, the promises from Sony for gaming just have never really panned out on it. I play a little bit on my phone here and there, but I still keep my PSP for mostly everying.

Getting fed up with DooMLords Wifi Modules. THEY KEEP DISCONNECTING

For some reason out of the blue, DooMLords Wifi Modules just start randomly disconnecting WHILE STILL SAYING IT'S CONNECTED!!
I have the Doom Kernel and I'm on 2.3.3 with an R800x on UK Firmware Timescape
Never had this issue before. I even tried Reflashing the Modules and that didn't help. Anyone know what the heck the issue is here?
Thanks in Advance for all your help.
Are you sure is the modules? Have you tried using the default ones to see if they work? I don't think his WiFi modules are very different from the Sony ones.

Since I got Doom Kernel I NEED to have the Doom Modules and this only happened with THESE Modules.
I know that you need them, I'm using doomkernel too, but I don't have any problems at all... I meant that you should install a stock kernel with the stock modules to see if they work...

I have also been having issues with this as well lately. I am on stock rom with doomkernel and have the same issue.
I have found that if I just go to the file in question, (dont have my phone with me) i think its system,lib,modules,wifi, then I long press on the file and select permissions and i check mark all the boxes. then reboot and that will do the trick for a few days but again it starts to have connection issues after about a 3-5 days.

Well I recently got a new battery and I'm loving it and I wanted the best Kernel for Gaming and Battery Life and overall smoothness so I heard Doom's was good.
I'm also thinking of going R800x ICS so which is the BEST one for my phone and should I go 2.3.4 or 2.3.3? Also which ICS HAS PROPER VIDEO RECORDING?
I ask this because if Darkforests kernel is better, then I'll use his.
I am not saying I dont love the DoomKernel, because I do. Tried other kernels and I always come back to DK. Just saying that I too occasionally get the wifi bug. Tried other wifi modules and that either kills the wifi entirely or it does the same issue.
I don't get any wifi disconnects, but after leaving my phone on for a few hours with wifi off, then trying to turn wifi on, it usually results in an error and I have to reboot to get wifi
If its such an issue just flash to a stock rom and modify it how you like.
(this will replace your kernel) -- Also will allow you to test if its DK's folly.
Does Darkforest have a wifi module or does his work in the kernel? If not and he does, can I use his Wifi Modules with DooMLords Kernels?

I'm pretty sure both do and I am also pretty sure the modules are the same just have build number string changed to match the build.prop string.

4g not working :'(

Ok so I have been playing with a lot of roms recently trying to find the perfect one that suits my needs and a good kernel to go with it. I have found the perfect combination with excellent battery life and exactly what I was looking for in a rom/kernel. But the problem is that now I finally have everything great except I can not get 4g no matter what. I have tried EVERYTHING. Hours of going through the forum trying to find people with similar problems and I can not seem to fix mine no matter how hard I try. I am currently running CM10 stable version jelly bean 4.1.2 with baseband t999UVLI5 and leanKernel-tmo- 1.10-+
Please guys I have tried all different modems and playing with apn setting and nothing. Even called tmobile and nothing. Thank you so much in advance!
I really want to get out of bed and simply search "no 4g" and show how you didn't search lol. Unless your imei is still intact, then I'm not sorry.

4g not connecting anymore!

Titles says it all. I live in the baltimore MD area, and where i used to get 3-4 bars of 4g it wont connect to it anymore. I boot it up and it defaults to 3G. Ive tried playing with the mobile data settings and nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any ideas...because i use my phones data connection as home internet right now...
How long has it been happening? It possible the tower is being worked on.

It just started today. Im on CM10 and i would occasionally lose a 4g connection and would have to swtich the mode from lte/whatever/whatever to the other mode...and then back to reconnect..but thats not working anymore....
Edit: This is killing me because I use it for home internet. Im paranoid simply because this is the first month ive used 4G ever...meaning i never even turned lte mode on in the mobile data settings..i didnt even know it was in my area until the beginning of this month.. Im just wondering if me toggling it on and off to get it to connect through CM10 caused this... Thats why im coming here..to smarter people then myself begging and pleaing for assistance and guidance.
Could it perhaps be that sprint was just testing my area for 4g?? OR how long does tower maintenance usually take.. Or that they cut me off from using 4g after using 30gb so far? I mean i have an unlimited plan so it shouldnt be an issue
No they didnt cut you off, they would send a letter before doing that
Second, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for maintenance to complete on a tower. If you're really concerned, call Sprint and ask if they're in the process of upgrading towers in your area. Who knows, they might even give you some sort of "we're sorry for the inconvenience" credit

Im eyeballing this thread like a hawk for opinions and posts like this. Thanks for your input.
When I first used 4G It was actually by accident on the CM10.1 Nightly. I pressed the Mobile data toggle square in the settings and i saw 4g, I was thrilled that it was in my area. Switched back to stable CM10 and checked if it was up and running. and much to my surprise it wasnt some weird graphical error just showing the 4g icon. It was legit working.
Still isnt working on any rom ive flashed here. Now though since the issue began.
What are the chances in the short time ive used it, that i could have possibly damaged my phones abaility to connect to 4G? Sorry if that question is dumb.
Very little. I doubt that its a hardware issue, because if it were, you would see other things like core apps FCing, the other radios taking longer to connect, maybe even hot reboots when trying to turn on 4G
Like I said, when you have time call Sprint. Most likely the towers are being worked on and they turned it off meanwhile
You might wanna also wanna get Sensorly (from the Play Store) just to doublecheck for LTE in your area
Sent from my PG06100
When 4G lte came on in my area it was on for a couple of weeks then they shut it down for 4 or 5 days then it came on and it's been on for almost 3 months. Just fyi this might be what's going on.

I'm experiencing the similar issues, though I flashed over a ASOP Rom that has parts from cm10.1 though the Rom was ported from Verizon, but 4g worked perfectly fine, then when I flashed back to cm10 it stopped working. I'm debating on flashing back to that rom and see if it also does not have access to 4g at this time.
Edit/Update: I flashed back to my stock rom with root then flashed an updated MA6 Rom, updated the PRL, Profile and such, still no 4G. Decided that I'd mess with a few 4g settings, still problems. Then I flashed back to CM10 and my 4G works again.

Thats a bit of work, so this could possibly be some janky setting on my phone still huh?
EDIT: I dont have my stock rom backed up. Dont know what happened to it. Could you explain what exactly I need to do to achieve the results you have posted man?
Sorry for the late reply. It could possibly be a setting on your phone. I say make a backup of your rom, flash a stock based rom, kernel & firmware, if it's not ma6 find an update or one based on it. Update the prl and profile. See if you can get 4g working on tw, if not then either restore back to cm10 or try messing with the lte settings, their are some that allow you to enable or disable and such. I also do recall a setting for ehpd 4g or lte 4G. After messing with them try restoring back to cm10. If you take a picture of the lte menu I can look and tell you what settings I clicked.
Edit: Just looked at the link try the lte force cause I know I pushed that button as well as a few others.

I'm looking through the forums and so far the only stock with root only is what I linked above but those are mianly updates. One Possibility if its not a problem I'd sugged Unrooting with odin and flashing a stock rom, reroot then flash the update linked above, then just make a Backup Called Stock with root MA6 or something. I'll keep looking though.

Problems after flash

ok. i just took my phone to my local Boost dealer. The owner flashes phones.
Not sure what rom he used or anything. if u need to know let me know how to find out and ill tell u....
Since i have my phone flashed it was working fine. but as soon as i enable my WIFI when i got home i cannot recieve or make calls or text.
With wifi enabled, if i go to make a phone call, it stays on DIALING for awhile then just drops the call. No ringing no nothing.
I took off wifi and the phone worked fine.
Also i cannot download things from the store while on my 3g network. i can go to the store and click download. it just stays on Zero until i get home. and connect to my wifi.

Since you have no idea what ROM AND what method the guy used why not go back to him?
There is an option in the play store to 'only download via wifi' though. About your other issues I don't know.
Folks here would need more information I'm sure.
And why not do some searching about Boost flashing here before asking the question(s), that is sure to provide some insight or at least an education.
ive done my research. didnt find anything. which is why i posted. im out of of state of my local dealer atm so i cannot go back to him. another reason why i made a thread here hoping to get some help.
i also stated if anyone needed any more information tell me how to get it and ill be more then glad to tell u.
How bout download another rom that is compatable with your
Phone.....Or try and download Cynogenmod 10 or 9

You guys aren't helping at all. Even when I am a d**k I am still helping people.
OP, what is the model number of the phone? Look under the battery.
Also need you to go to Settings, scroll all the way down and find about phone. Click that and take a screen shot. Should be power+home. If that doesn't work, try power+Vol down.

OK, so you are on a Gingerbread build - Kernel version 2.6.35.7-sph-710.el29-cl852097, with an older Modem - baseband version S:d710.10 S.EL29.
And running a Gingerbread ROM from Febuary of last year (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429635).
We are now two full releases away from Gingerbread. Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and now official JellyBean.
Have you updated your PRL and Profile?
System Settings>About Device and Software update ( I think it's there. Havent been on GB in a long time - look and you'll find them)
You might want to check out this post from Febby, has a guide on how to get JB on Boost.

Well it sounds like the person telling this to you really doesn't know what he's talking about then. It could just be he doesn't want to take responsibility for YOU jacking up the phone and wants you to have him do it. It could be he hasn't done any more research or reading here since early 2012. I don't know.
Yes there is a possibility to brick your phone. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. using things like ROM Manager, an 'unsafe recovery', etc..
BUT that can easily be avoided by following the stickies, how tos and reading the Original Postings by the devs.
The 'One-Clicks' are by far the easiest and safest way to go. But still read through the OP AND followup posts thoroughly.
If you're happy 'taking what your given' then by all means go back to the store and have the guy fix your issues with that ROM and setup.
Most here are definitely not happy with being told to take what we give you (ala the Carriers, and CrApple), that's why its a 'Developers Forum'. Those that are interested in learning and contributing, tweaking and modding, and just trying new things; can.
Good luck
Since you haven't replied back as to what happened I'm guessing you figured it out or took it back.
But here's another good resource. Garwynn just put up the release verions of the One-Click for Boost here

I think he's implying that that's how it's always been, or possibly that he has done all of this within the last few days. However long it's been, to me it doesn't sound like a recent issue that has cropped up.
Just my obversvation though. Unfortunately that's all the help I can offer heh

I don't use a MVNO, so I am not sure which regular troubleshooting steps would clear away your carrier settings. (I'm thinking using EFS Clear in Odin is the only concern, but that is sometimes needed for modem issues.)
Based off that rom's thread, you must be using the NS4G modem. Since your issue is with connectivity:
Perform a CWM backup of your current setup.
Flash an Epic modem rom and FC09 modem. (You can flash the modem using CWM. There's a thread in the dev forum w/ links.)
Try testing connection again.
I'd normally tell a Sprint Epic user to boot into FC09 multiboot and update profile & PRL, but I don't even think the PRL update would work for you. I'd then say, start from scratch by using Odin to flash FC09 with repartition checked. If they still had issues with connectivity, then I'd recommend using EFS clear in Odin when reflashing either just the FC09 modem or the entire FC09 tar.
Because you are on another carrier, I'm weary of suggesting you use Odin so quickly. If you haven't already, dive into your phone settings and document your carrier specific info you changed to get it working. This way, if you end up doing something that resets your original changes, then you can reconfigure it.
So give the suggestion that is listed above a try.
Since I'm very much a noob myself, I'm only tossing this out to possibly trigger an idea for someone else: Would perhaps the issue lie in the Build.prop or one of those similar files? I've poked around so many of them I can't remember which hold what tidbits of info... I know the Build.prop holds most of the primary carrier info, but I seem to recall another one that stored a bunch of info for a bunch of the other carriers (though that might have been for roaming and may not be of any help here).
*shrug* Otherwise, I's gots nothin' lol
