there is no difference in generici vs generic a vs rogers, minus small configuration settings in etc/customizations and build prop. past global generics didnt call use the dormancy feature for phone traffic, and some have some custom sms mms settings. rogers has settings in place to restrict the use of r2r for apn settings, but you can download anycut from market and choose gsm/umts activity menu for shortcut and access menu to start r2r. auto operator selection.

Hi guys...Can in install 2.1.58 (X10i) in a x10a?? Will it work?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
I am not sure what you were trying to say, but there definitely seems to be a sim card recognition problem with using Rogers on AT&T, which if you think about it makes sense. You can't put an AT&T sim card in a Rogers phone and visa versa. Check out this thread.....

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bestialbub+se-06+rom+differences

your thread and statement speaks from speculation; mine speaks from experience.

i can load rogers firmware just fine. i have an att x10a phone. i have used the latest rogers firmware w/ my phone. i have no sim card issues. i have an att simcard that does have restrictions in other phones w/ third party roms. i do not get 3g/apn settings for rogers firmware on boot, as you states, the ROM is not configured for att settings, and r2r/auto apn is restricted from regular menus.

i have installed anycut from market, access the gsm/umts menu activity available in the rom, and i choose network operators, auto, and r2r initiates in the background as on a normal sony rom in the settings/sony menu, and immediately after, i have 3g w/ apn settings configured, because r2r is still present and the r2r database does have the att apn settings.

if you were to supply an updated apns-conf.xml file w/ att or your desired settings service providers settings (i use the latest cm apn file for all international users), you would connect just fine, providing that you could connect to radio in the first place.

this is spoken from my experience in the past month w/ my x10a from att, running every rom and baseband i've came across with 0 problems regarding sim card or radio connectivity, minus the annoyance of apn configuration, until i figured out the ins-outs of sony, and obvious apn-conf file packaged w/ my own repackaged roms to avoid such issues.

..and if you take the time to look at the link i posted in this response (i looked at yours), you'll find software analysis showing some 1200 binary duplicates, including all essential apps and framework between rogers and global software. theres no sim lockdown.

..there is however a customized bootanimation. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] agentJBM:
Seriously, you are too technical for me. Who wants to install another app to get the correct settings? I understand that it can work, but from what I gather from your post, you had to do some work of your own. Are you saying everyone has to do this? I'm sorry I just don't understand you. Also, you said that I said he got Rogers APN settings? I didn't say anything about APN settings. The guy said he got red x over phone and data notifications and his phone couldn't read sim card when plugged in. You obviously didn't read it, because this too is a real world example. Not speculation. It really happened, and if you are saying you have to modify with another app, then you proved my point, I think. Confused.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nanodroid:
But are they not different ntwrk providers?How are they supposed to work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bestialbub:
i was citing my example of an newer att sim card working fine w a rogers rom and the rom having the same software as the generic rom moots the statement that rogers rom specifically has a software simlock. it doesnt, or if it does, the same software is present in the generic international rom.

didnt want folks going around in an ignorant daze when i could kindly point out that i took the time to analyze and discover for you that there is little difference in a x10i vs x10a rom/firmware flash w baseband, as the generic would have these same simcard locks in place and wouldnt be a viable alternative to rogers firmware.

..this is a technical discussion in the dev forum.. but maybe not entirely a baseband one for this thread. ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] joooch:
Im kinda lost, i have baseband 2.0.49 but I want to download some rooms that need a different baseband, so Do i just have to download the needed baseband and flash it??

or what?? Can I flash it with xrecovery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wombat131:
Download the needed baseband in the first post of this topic, then flash with flashtool..(place unzipped file in flashtools firmwares folder.)Beware that flashing baseband .58 will erase userdata. You will have the option to uncheck it but I'm not sure what the results will be.. on the other hand, you might want to try the basebandpatch first if you're uncertain about flashing baseband. :-)

We invented the searchbutton for that, didn't we? ;-)

Back on topic: maybe said before but it couldn't hurt to say again. While when flashing .58 flashtool advises to erase userdata, you can safely uncheck the box.. I've flashed and reflashed it several times now (from .54/55 to .58) and it doesn't give me any problems..

I have found a few AT&T users with this problem after flashing Rogers bb 58 for some reason. I have had the best results with bb 54, or you can try what he said if you understood him.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wombat131:
I have to agree with you on the searchbutton-part. However, the point I was trying to make is clear, right? ;-)

Now I'm wondering which post you're referring to.. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bestialbub:
me suggesting to use "any cut" from the market and using the "gsm/umts options" activity to open the user friendly menu to run the sony apn setting configuration wizard (r2r) to enabled 3g/data for those having troubles w rogers rom/baseband. both work fine for me on att. you can also toggle 2g/3g from this menu.

the wizard runs in the background and enables 3g/data when you choose "network operators", and you may have to select auto.

i went to xrec and restored 2.1, how ever it says "unknown" under baseband and as a result has no network. i read ur steps above but how do i flash just the baseband to work with the current 2.1 firmware? i put all the .sis files into the firmware folder and a file "x10_2.1_.435.ftf", i think thats not the ROM but the firmware...can i just flash it with those contents in that folder?

Baseband for a or i version

The main differences between x10i and x10a is that x10a supports 850MHz HSPDA. What I want to ask is that if we flash the x10a baseband to our phone, does that mean that it will support 850MHz HSPDA?

Is there a program or tool that we can check which band or frequency our phone can operate on?

Thx.

i cant change the base band. im on bb54 and want to try tripnmiui so i need to switch bb49.

im doing everything right, place the ftf file in firmware directory, open flashtool 2.9.1 hit flash, in select firmware table, i see device=x10, version=1 branding=repairbaseband, selecting it and hit ok.. powering device off wait a few secs. and connect in flash mode.. tool detects my phone then flashes it, says flashing finished..

but when i powered my device and check it still says baseband54 :(

i tried when in wolfs rom, and then flashed phone using seus to stock2.1 and tried again but the result is the same.. baseband isnt changing :(

any ideas?

solved:

i thought that the problem was originated from the flasher and asked from androxyde for help, and he said to me to reinstall windows or use virtualbox, i used a clean installation of xp in vmware and it worked like a charm..

i switched to bb49 for tripnmiui froyo but i still have FC when i hit the "about phone"

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
guys there is no such thing as newer bb necessarily means better... if u want a windows analogy was Windows ME better? was Windows Vista better?

anyways back on topic... there are some internal functions on older basebands which were broken on newer basebands... also since the devs are working on custom kernels to greatly improve our X10 we should use the bb as suggested by them... they obviously have some good reason to use that dont u think?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] blisslove:
Can we just don't follow one particular developer? Just generalize, if old BB is good why do SE developer need to update new BB? And i didn't mention about custom kernels. Yes, windows vista wasn't good, that's why win7 out.

I'm not spamming this thread but need to accept it which one is better or not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i dont really know how to evaluate if a particular baseband is better or not...

do keep a few things in mind... there are very few basebands which are released globally... most of the basebands which are available here are got from region specific FW... so it could very well be the case that if a particular baseband was released for ur region specifically (may be operator/carrier specific) u might get better performance... but that does not mean that the same baseband will give better / equal / worse performance in different regions...

from my personal experience:

i was using FreeX10-beta4 for almost 3+ months... here (in India) baseband 2.1.54 was released (i presume this is a global generic baseband)... so was using it for most of the time... then i tried out baseband 2.1.58 (ERA Poland)... and the battery life was horrible... could hardly get 8 hrs battery as compared to 15-16hrs (on baseband 2.1.54)... so thats why i shifted back to 2.1.54

for the past few weeks i shifted to bb 2.0.52 to test custom kernels and my battery life is not affected (still got 15-16 hrs on FreeX10)... just recently though i have shifted to CM7 (baseband package 2.0.52 by J)... and battery life wasnt affected even though the device was overclocked...

Rendeiro2005 doesn't state compatibility with BB 67 (it wasn't out yet when he launched the CM6.1.3/scamble release), although it *is* compatible with the more recent .5x bb's. He does say "compatible with all basebands"...

You may want to give it a try, and if it doesn't work immediately, try cobrato's baseband fix (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011608) - you can always flash back to a .58 baseband if it doesn't work.
