Cm11 - need help flashing new baseband - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone know how to flash/update a new baseband? I've tried to use flashtool but haven't got it to work. Flashtool says it went good but the baseband has still the same version (39). I want to update to (51)

Baseband version is not read off the partition, it's hard coded into the ROM - so show's version the ROM you are using originally came with. Rest assured so long as flash was successful you have upgraded the baseband.

OK, thank you for your reply. So is there any way to se the actual version of the baseband?

No need for thanks, just hit the button :good:
I don't think you actually can in any simple way. I struggle to think when you are best off with anything but the latest baseband so you just flash it and leave it alone until Sony bring out another major update... Technically I suppose you could rip it from the handset onto PC and search it for a version number or something amongst all the code if you really wanted to find out but I don't know if it's even there in plain text - never looked - and I see no reason to need to do it.
Aside from that they should either fix that little bug in Android or just take the whole baseband info out if they can't.

Are you sure?
So we should find the baseband version defined in the device specific tree - but i see nothing there...
Where do you get the info about hardcoding?

I read it on here somewhere ages ago I am sure. I always wondered why the baseband changed testing out ROM's on the T. 90% of the time I never flashed a baseband or the ROM didn't even include one yet the last 2 digits at least always changed. It could be different on the Z1C to the T but I wouldn't have thought so... If someone proves me wrong I apologise. Literally been using this phone a few hours and it's great. I am thinking keep this one on stock for now, just root and xposed my way into freedom and enjoy the thing its a real nice phone.

Simply put, it's the firmware for our radio/cellular device in our phone.
It is the firmware for the chip explained here:

All you pesky non American's I need some info from you.
Device (i.e tellus/rogers/korean S)

If the answer to #3 is no, please upload a boot.img for me.
For you e975 folks, support is coming, I'm reworking the entire backed to make future new device and version easier. Right now though I just need this info.
Thanks in advance.

Works only on stock ROM right? Like the info that you want? Because I'm running SnowJB right now, which is an AT&T ROM.
Shellnutt said FG doesnt support korean 4.1.2 boot yet.
Also he said he can provide a steps (if really needed) and promised the support will be added in a week.
That was almost 1.5 month ago

How is rom porting related to korean JB support in the freegee?
Ah, probably found the reason of misunderstood: I bought the freegee app (donate), the app still doesnt support korean JB at the moment.

Okay please read this carefully.
Freegee has gone under a near complete rewrite in order to make it easier to add support for new varients and software versions. It's now a very simply process for me and doesn't involve updating the app anymore. This also will allow me to add newer and better recovories.
That said this is a highly beta version. Lot of debugging code is still in there, I just need more people to test it. I've used it fine, but someone else soft bricked. I've tried to get people on irc to test so I can help in real time but alas I didn't get many offers at all. So I'm posting this here. Please though don't use this unless you know how to kdz/lgnpst back to stock. This might blow up your phone, until I get people to actually test it more than myself and skdubg did I can't know.

EU and Korean kt_kr (180k) support is added! Candians are left out cause no one would give me your lgswverion build props
edit: Also is F180L20L lgu_kr or skt_kr? I'm guessing lgu, but just want to verify.

Thank you for specifying, 180L now has initial support for version F180L20L.
As far as not being able to unlock, I'd like to get a few more people to test it to make sure you aren't one of the special ones that need the sbl stack in addtion to new bootloader. That is what skdubg for his eu E975 needed.
Ok I'll wait for the next version.
if you need I will test again with the new version

I got a question for you, why would you want to use freegee if you already have bootloader unlocked ? Plus he clearly say non american in the OP, from what I know, AT&T is american. So, to answer clearly your question, NO, he doesnt need your info.

thats because you flashed the sprint version of the ROM onto your S3. download the AT&T version, full wipe and flash.
but if its possible, i could intall the version of i9300 and it will turn into international version wont it?

NO! it will turn into a brick!!
only flash ROMs that are specifically for your device!
dude, you need to read up on all of this. check out the general forum. if your phone is an i747, then ONLY flash i747 ROMs.
dude you got me wrong . I know all about it but syneergy has published its att-sprint-us cellular version together. but i think its sprint based but available for all . and it screwed up my phone . I dont know how to come back. ı tried to flash cm att version but i couldnt .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179330
Step 5 in this thread has to do with flashing a ROM. download the CORRECT ROM and Gapps and follow those steps.
After you have completed that and have booted into the device fine (everything's correct and working), follow Step 4 on that thread to create a backup.

you asked about installing an international ROM. that's what i was replying to. what synergy release did you download?
okay it may seem i go stupid but İ had to flash sprint becuz it wasnt accepting att version. so i did install it and it seems to be workin okay. But i concern about i might be a problem after a while. And I still could not figure out how to make it back. i mean make it back to att version ? can anyone explain that ?

the reason i asked what release you were using was because certain versions of synergy dont work well with AT&T. the r290 and higher releases are supposedly working well.
if you used a release listed as r290 or higher then you might want to try a different ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499 i have flashed the latest version that is r373 . it turned my phone into what it is not but suprisingly it works like a horse

Don't mistake me as being "hard/rude"... but "know all about it" means you would've been careful in the first place, along with ways to come back in case of issue.
Like the previous poster said, you should flash only the ROM that's intended for the phone.
Also, a dev might release a ROM for all three carriers, but if you actually look into the OP of that ROM you'll realize that there is a version for each device.
Oh.i took it as my mistake.i shouldnt have said that. But i meant that i knew what he says but yeah ur right.i have no explanation for that. But i still cant see att version separetly ? Could you please link me

That's fine. Not an issue esp cos people here only try to help than finger point
Anyways, back to topic. If you do not see an AT&T version, I would suggest checking in the ROM thread itself. And if you still can't find it, it would mean there is no AT&T version. So you might be better off with one of the many AT&T specific ROMs here.
Okay thanks a lot for ur interest.im gonna give a few try more. And id like to say that even if my model nber is changed into sprint, my baseband number still shows that it is at&t . yeah its a bit confusing for me.anyways i will try to make it back and lets see if i can make it.
Problem is solved !!
I solved the problem through changing some parameters in built.prop like ''from d2spr to d2att and I used prop editor app ". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828152 ....this link has the sample for att mobile phones. By this way, i succesfully changed the model number so that I could use att version stock rom to take everything back. I flashed att stock rom through Odin and its done !
Thanks for everbody's help !! sorry for english ,cuz im not native. If anyone has the problem and cant make it through, please let me know and im gonna try to make it clear.

You may have the wrong recovery installed on your phone. The synergy thread has specific instructions concerning which version will be installed and it being dependant on your specific recovery. It clearly says that if you get to the installer in the aroma...and your phones model is shown and is wrong...that you should install the phones proper recovery.

This was my second time rooting and installing a ROM on my phone. Whatever I had used originally seemed a bit buggy so I went back to stock. However, this time I wanted to try PACMAN and after installing it I found that I couldn't send picture messages and I no longer had access to 4G data speeds. I didn't know what to do, searched the web for a few days looking for ideas and saw some people saying that maybe I should change my ROM, so I did. I tried Cyanogen Mod 10.1 (I think) and then LiquidSmooth 2.9 (where I am now). None of the changes made anything work. So, now I've seen someone talk about radios, I don't quite understand what they are saying but from what I've gathered there could be a different radio for me to download. If that's the case, I'm not sure how to do it. Also, I was told to try and put the stock software back on the phone and I can't figure out how to do that again either. I probably dug a little too deep being such a noob but I wanted to learn. If anybody could help I'd be greatly appreciative.
Also, if there is any other information you need please let me know. I just copied everything I could find under "About Phone"
Take out battery and reply with the model number of the phone.

[Q] Noob proof rooting

Hi,
I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process
I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?
Thanks a lot!
latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95
perfect, thanks for the information. Will give it a try and hope not to brick anything

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.
