Is this means Baseband 36 doesn't support GLONASS yet?

I've mine LT15i 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42 locked bootloader with baseband 36+patch.

I don't see satellites numbered 65 to 88 tracked in my Arc.

Maybe I should try -64 or official upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.62.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] andry1234:
baseband 64 have a "loader.sin" file too?

I'm experiencing a problem flashing this baseband.. I tried downloading on many different mirrors, reinstalling the drivers... I'm on the latest version of Flashtool, running on Windows XP (VMWare fusion on mac os x)..

I have the "error: aborted" problem... Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
is the GLONASS global or at your area only?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] runld:
GLONASS supposed to be globally available, and SE already confirmed Xperia Arc is capable of supporting GLONASS.

WARNING

Do not use the libs with the beta-ics, these cause problems with the sim card :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maliceomalice:
Is this may be the cause of the phone not detecting my sim when i want to use data connection although i can still make n receive calls?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] johnbarleycorn:
If in the lockscreen you see "simcard not recignized" and you use ics beta... YES.

resolve it with reflashing ics.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You don't need to reflash, just take the corresponding files from ICS zip, place them in a baseband patch zip and flash it.

Hey

I've flashed the 36 baseband. Now I want to patch the libraries.

To do this I downloaded ClockworkMod's ROM Manager from the market and selected the first option.

Then it said "There is no official version for LT15a" .

How do I proceed? Is there any other way of installing CMR for my device?

Or is there another method known altogether for patching the baseband zip?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Search for CMW Installer Xperia on the Market. ;)

KIND REMINDER:

1. Please please PLEASE read the whole OP.

As of this moment,

I will NOT reply to any more PM asking for mirrors

.

They are posted in the OP and if you took 1/30 of the time it took me to compose it (that's roughly 1 minute by the way) to actually read it, you would find everything you need, as in files and detailed instructions.

2. Don't use the patches in any other ROM than stock. Don't use them on CM 7.2, don't use them on CM 9.0, don't use them on Sony ICS Beta, don't use them on ICElite, don't use them on MiUI, etc etc etc.

@ Iridaki

I'm facing troubles with the latest oficial ICS rom.

My Arc is LT15a, and baseband 70 doesn't works for me, The SIM CARD is not recognized. Is there any way to fix this?. I flashed back Baseband 64 with the latest ICS ROM on the phone, and now the SIM card works, but phone says that there is no sim card inserted. Also, I have the baseband 70 tft file to flash with flashtools, but I can't find baseband 70 LIBS to flash with CWM. Does them exist?

Any help?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dylanicb:
Re-flash the ROM again may solve that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Anyone know what has changed in the new baseband version 70? It is alot smaller than the previous bands..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Baseband (and ril libs) is proprietary piece of code, there is no changelog. We can only observe how it works compared to previous versions

[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepthroat:
here is the 70 lib so files matching, or you can re-flash the ICS official/ custom rom where BB70 required. It works fine with BB64 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Christian6809:
I'm also looking for a link to -36
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Can someone upload the Baseband .70 libs from the beta ICS. I think that they runs better than the official ones.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
They are EXACTLY the same! :D

Ran an md5 compare on them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
MMMMM, curious. With BETA ICS roms, I never had issues with the sim card being invalid...... but With the oficial release, My sim card gets deactivated after a while.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepthroat:
36 baseband and libs didnt work for me, sim card was not detected. reflashing back 70 libs with 36 bb did work though. I am on LT15i, dont know with Xperia Play, sorry ...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I switched to -36 instead of -64 and it's a world of difference for me. No longer dropped calls and I had the problem where I could hear the other person but they couldn't hear me.

After I switched, no more problems.

I'm on doomkernel v13 and .62.rom

hi, I am using ICS4, can use the attachment above with the size 853kb?

the link you provided is about 10mb? what is the different? sorry noob question...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Coolgoly:
Link is for baseband -70 in ftf format to flash via flashtool.

Attachment contains libs only to flash in CWM.

If you are running ICS i guess you already have baseband -70 in your phone.

Flashing libs is not necessary because for this version they are the same contained in ftf file as Iridaki said in a previous post.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtdc:

I have baseband 70 with stock ICS.

Can I update via flashtools into BB 36?

Will it delete the content of my ARC (SMS, MMS, apps, etc)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Coolgoly:
It doesn't delete your data.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Nornally, you can do it, but you will have to flash the BB 36 libs. Now, if you are running ICS rom, you could flash (via Flashtool), BB 36, and boot your phone with Lib 70's (from the rom) and see if it works. In my case, it worked in ICS rom. If this doesn't work for you, then flash via CWM the libs of BB 36, and see if it works.

This operation will not delete SMS, MMS, apps, nor etc.

Baseband question

Hi.

Sorriy if it is a noob question,but I bought an R800i ( central Europe's baseband)As I'm in Argentina the Sony people have told me that only an R800a gets the 3G here. I've flashed the baseband of an R800a stock rom,but I still can't get 3G. So the question is : The R800 can change the baseband by software, or is a hardware issue, or I'm doing something wrong? I've been looking the schematics and it seems to be a couple of gprs filters,boy I don't know if it is relevant.

Thanks in advance.

And, one again, sorry if the question i noob.:angel:

Is patch for 36 will better?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Thanks! :)

Well, truth to be told, it's not that the world will come to an end or anything apocalyptic will happen! :D

But why not use the proper libraries when it's as simple as flashing a small zip? ;)

I for one feel the signal reception is more stable with less flactuations, but this could very well be a coincidence. I am not saying that this is mandatory, but again, it's the proper libraries, so why not have them? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
Thank's iridaki.

Will try the patch, this afternoon.

I supouse that there is no conflict with doomloords latest kernel.

For the people that allready have dooms kernel intaled its just insal the zip file from recovery and then the baseband using the flashtool???

It had never failed before. Can the problem be due to APP2SD? (I have ext3 partition in my Arc)

The USB cable is ok.

The USB port of my laptop is ok.(I have also tried with another laptop).

So, the only remaining potential guilty is my Arc itself. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
Thanks for the reply, I have the last version of Flashtool

- I have selected your 36 baseband flash file

- I click OK on Flashtool with phone connected in FlashMod

- Nothing happens.

I tried many times. Another way to do?

I have flashed succesfully the zip in Recovery but my baseband stays at .58.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
The zip will not change your baseband,

I mentioned this a lot of times.

If you want to flash baseband -36, find an ftf for .368 firmware and flash baseband only with the newest FlashTool. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
@ iridaki

can not thank you enough, been trying to sort this issue for weeks now with no luck changed roms, basebands, kernels, settings and even sim card.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
Yes i saw that after have posted this message, sorry for that.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] samueltlc:
iridaki, I think a file "loader.sin" is missing from your .ftf file, therefore the flashtool didn't load the .ftf. I've tried to extract the loader file from "LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf" and put it into your .ftf file then do a flash again, finally everything was going fine.

Now my phone is running with -36 baseband with CW7.2.0 with FXP049+DoomKernel rev0.3

Thanks for work, iridaki!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] KuklinS:
MIUI also working with this, but after adding loader.sin to BB.ftf ONLY
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jayman1986:
I have locked bootloader. On .42 firmware. And ONLY rooted.

Is there another easy for me to achieve this without unlocking bootloader and installing CWM?

cheers for great work.

EDIT: I've just used root explorer to replace the library files. In system/lib.

I take it that this should have the same result?

I temporary lost signal for a few second and then it came back, then I just rebooted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Stranger:
Good Job!! I'm noob. How do you add this file to tft?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] samueltlc:
I rename the .ftf file to .zip, add loader.sin into it and rename it back to .ftf. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Two questions.

Does manually replacing files via Rooted Explorer work?

And did the baseband change benefit Euro/Asian networks/phones or will this benefit North American networks/phones as well? I guess this question is for everyone who've tried, not the OP specifically.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jayman1986:
I've done by root explorer but now I have more signal loss than before. So I just replaced my original lib files back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
yes

the loader.sin is missing from the original file

here is the complete file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6OMPOJOR

copy it to flashtool / firmwares folder and run flashtool

thanks iridaki. will report soon about the battery consuption
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You can replace them manually, as long as you set the correct permissions afterwards. ;)

I don't know about american networks but the best thing would be to make a backup and try the new libraries and report back.

You can have CMW recovery even if your bootloader is locked, thanks to nobodyAtall! :)

Thanks, indeed loader.sin was missing, I must have accidentally deleted it prior to uploading. :o

I corrected the OP with your link, thanks a million!

I'm sorry to hear that. :(

By the way, @everyone: test the new libraries for

at least 1 day

to have a more thorough idea of the improvement or the lack of it for that matter.

After running your phone for several hours on battery you can see the battery graph,

in the About Phone section, to make an estimation about signal strength, signal loss, etc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey Iris the FTF has to have correct loader.sin

u can get the correct one from our github page:

Worked like a charm for me.
