[Q] Baseband problem

I just installed CM7.1 on my SE arc and followed all the instructions on this forum. It works just nice, except for this "little" problem: my baseband is set to unknown and I just can't get any carrier. Tried lots of different sim chips, tried to flash it with FlashTools, but it won't recognize my phone, tried OpenRecovery...
I'm desperate, need some answers! I'm a noobie and got no clue what do do... Any help?

Flash the 368 ftf file first then start again.

As I told you, I'm having problems in reckognizing my device in FlashTools. It says it is X10 mini or something.

XperienceD, if it's not asking too much, you mind in putting in links for what you suggested me to do? I'm totally lost in here...

Google the flashtool and see the first link in my Sig to get the link to 368.

Xperia PRO - no network with any SIM, radio brick ? Any fix possible ?

Hi guys,
I had an Xperia Pro updated to ICS 4.0.4 stock, everything was working ok, one morning at work I couldn't get any signal in any part of the building, removed SIM and placed in a different phone, it was getting some signal, back to Xperia Pro, no signal again and when picking manually one of the networks was giving an error message ( like ... network unavailable or check if SIM inserted ), tried activating - deactivating plane mode, still no change, at a certain moment it rebooted by itself, but still no change.
Went home, tried a different SIM, same thing, did a factory reset of the phone, still same error and won't join any network.
Thought, OK it's time to try a different ROM, maybe more luck.
So unlocked bootloader, flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2, install went OK and all, but still the same problem, it won't join any network with any SIM I put in.
What can I try next ? Anyone has any idea ?
Thanks for any suggestion or advice

I think there is a problem with the hardware.

Hmmm ... it was in my pocket while going to work, I later noticed the lack of network signal, but there wasn't any shock or whatever, just regular commute from home to office.
Additional Info: I've remember something that might be relevant: after the reboot in CM7.2 it kept asking for the SIM unlock PIN I think, and it didn't work with the PIN that I knew the SIM had, after a couple tries I clicked "reject" to avoid locking the SIM.
Not sure if it means the phone become locked ?! should I try to unlock it ? It was normally already unlocked before, not sure if it makes any sense what I'm imagining here ...

OK, thx, downloading rom as we speak.

Its the country where its for, but you can use both.

I used the Central Europe because the file has a slightly newer date.
Had problems with using Flashtool under Windows, probably some driver wasn't correctly installed as my computer was freezing every time I connected in flashmode. Fortunately I have a dual boot and it worked under Ubuntu.
But no luck, still no service after back to ICS.
But I found some other thread on the net that pointed to check mend, and guess what ... doing a report resulted in "Currently blocked - CheckMEND has a record of this item having been blocked by one or more cell phone networks"
Now ... wtf can I do next ?!

Tried a couple of them, either they say they can't do anything ( if I don't have a contract with them ), or one operator told me have no blockage or record of this IMEI.
So ... more and more confused and clueless ...
getting into the SIM Lock menu of the phone ( using the *#*#-whatever-#*#* combination ), every digit is 0, I've read that it means it's "hardlock" but not sure what exactly this means and especially how can it be unlocked ?!

Any luck m8?
I have the same problem in Portugal but only with one carrier (TMN). Already order a CheckMEND report and "0 reports in my case".
Flashed different ROMS, Kernels, changed baseband and... nothing! Back to stock ICS and still no TMN signal for calls or SMS... I have 3G for internet though...

[Q] R800x Xperia Play issues

I'm probably not the only person to experience these problems on the R800x, and I couldn't find any other threads pertaining to a fix for my specific problem. I went to Verizon and Sony, and got frustrated very fast with them not even remotely having a clue on how to help.
My first issue is after rooting my phone and unlocking the bootloader, I flashed an ICS 4.0.1 ROM to my phone, it works great!
Problem is, I didn't realize the difference between the R800i and R800x. So now my phone lost its Radio image/Baseband Version, making my not have any servies (1x/2g/3g or bars) It's Wi-Fi only right now.
I read into flashing Radio images back to the phone so it can access the services, but I can't find one specifically for my phone. Any help there?
My second, and biggest issue with the phone is it's just not taking a charge. I've been flip flopping batteries with my other R800x to keep this one going. I tried a few things to fix that, but they just don't work and I'm tired of going in threads and reading crap and trying things that don't work.
Basically, I want my phone back to working order again, while keeping the ICS firmware.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
THINGS I HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT
-Flashing back to original firmware
-Adding a new charger file into .bin on phone itself
-Factory reset
-2.3.3 and 2.3.4 flashed firmwares

You can't have radio working because the rom was meant for GSM xperia plays. If you want ICS I sugget purchasing a GSM xperia play. Otherwise stick with stock to have everything working.

how is that true??
cm9 works for the r800x and the r800i
OP did you use flashtool for any of the flashing?

I used a flashtool, yes. I assume that was bad? It was the only way I could find for the R800x.
That's not where it messed up and lost my baseband and radio signals. When I got the kernel, then flashed an ICS ROM to the phone, that's where it removed my radio signals.

If you'd read what I put, none of that worked. I know radio isn't meant to work on a GSM ROM, buying a whole new phone was a silly suggestion of you.

first try flashing a zeusc(r800x) rom, because when you have a zeus(r800i) rom installed the radio won't work the way your are explaning.

Can you link me to it? I really don't feel like getting the wrong file yet again.

Just want to clarify have you tried flashing the 2.3.3 Verizon R800x FTF? When you mention 2.3.3/2.3.4 flashed firmwares I am guessing you mean that? If you have flashed successfully and still having issues then I dont know off hand why it wouldnt work just FTFing (lol) back.

that is because it is flashed from recovery
if you don't have recovery flash the boot.img in the zip using fastboot, then powerup the phone and press vol- during bootup when the notifaction light is on

Did you try flashing markypythons ICS converter? If you did, then flash R800x's baseband.

Yes I've flashed the FTF files. No luck doing so. DubleJay I have it, yet I haven't flashed it yet. The problem I have is not able to find the baseband to flash for this phone in specific.
No one's figured anything about my charging issue yet?

Have you tried flashing the basebands of the 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ftf files.... But what happened when you flashed the 2.3.3 ftf file?
Sent from my R800x

Baseband version was within the FTF file but didn't show up on the phone. :/ its so frustrating.
I'm honestly more curious about my charging issue right now. I'm tired of flip flopping batteries.

[Q] Xperia Play R800i automatically reboot whenever wifi is turned on

Hi guys, I am helping to fix my lil bro's r800i.
His phone keeps restarting whenever I turn the wifi on and there is no phone signal. I mean visually the signal bar is there but no calling or checking credit balance could be done.
This happened since he did software update from sony's end to R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42.
Upon lurking xda, I found out these problems may be caused by the baseband.
Therefore I used flashtool to flash:
> R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World
>R800i_4_0_2_A_0_69_WORLD_1_8_1247_6176
>R800_4.0.2.A.0.79
>X10_V1_BLRelock
>and one other custom rom called GB something
I also tried to flash new kernel:
>LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full
>PLAY-GSM-Advanced-Stock-vt
>ExtremeKernel_r3-480p
note: I wanted to try doomkernel but I couldnt find working download link
Other than that, I tried to flash only the baseband:
>Baseband -36
However, I couldn't solve the problems with the previous steps. I need advice from experienced users, thank you guys..

Try phone without sim or with different sim card
Do you know what firmware version was before you update it to .42?
You did right thing with flashing different basebands, but maybe it's hardware fault...
Maybe to try with lowest firmware version you can find?

The sim card is working well in other mobile phone.
So the wifi and signal uses the same hardware?
I will try your suggestion on the lowest firmware flashing and update later on. Thank you Bakisha.

As i know, wifi and network hardware is not related in hardware terms (but i'm not sure)
Also, try wifi in airplane mode (to see is it single or two separate problems)
