I see for the baseband installation instructions that it might wipe the internal SD, are people experiencing this in general? Obviously I will back up the contents just a bit concerned about what will happen when the phone boots up with a wiped internal SD, would it cause any problems until I am able to restore?

New version online. Flashing WILL wipe your device, so back up first!

Hi Paul, will you posting the 10b rom that comes with the baseband update? Seems like it has got a different .9 kernel .

Paul,

Are there any differences between this version and 1035.21_20110315?

Thanks!

[vanahaim]

would it not be possible to update baseband without getting WIPED?

Yeah, it would be really nice if we could flash the baseband through CWM, like on HTC for example. But I'm guessing it isn't that easy to go from smartflash format to a recovery-friendly .zip

I installed it. Working great so far. On a side note, it didn't wipe my internal sd card....

Hi.

I'm a newbie of android.. this is my first first first Android after years of symbian: so , sorry for any stupid question I'll write

Actually I've stock terminal (no root, no custom rom, no CW), with baseband 1035.21_20110302, kernel 2.6.32.9 and ROM V10a.

Can I flash the new April baseband over v10a ROM?

There's a way to prevent wiping? Or a way to have back my apps and configuration with a backup..
I'm interested in updating (due to some bugs in the original baseband), but I'm worried about reinstalling all my apps & games..

If I understand correctly.. I need to:
- flash CW recovery
- Get root
- Install Titanium Backup
- Make a full backup.
- flash new baseband
- restore backup

If a "back to stock" is needed for some reasons, I need to have the original baseband and the stock recovery  to flash back to the phone.. right?


Sorry.. My english need an upgrade too

Ok, without knowledge of what was changed I have flashed (Backup with CWM, flash, wipe cache and dalvik, Restore with CWM) successfully.

Looking forward.

Smartflash drivers are the same needed for install Clockwork and to root the device or are different set of drivers?

[aMpeX]

Nandroid Backup => Flash baseband => Restore Nandroid Backup

works good so far on Stock V10b

The very same.

[matlegro]

audio quality?

[PaulOBrien]

It should be noted that the new baseband is also accompanied by a new RIL in the updated ROM (which is in MCR Fr12 also).

[aMpeX]

So this is not applied when flashing the baseband with the Smartflash method?

Any way to only flash that RIL? I don't want to go full custom yet.

Cheers

Is there a way for flashing the baseband from linux?

When you activate gps while moving, does it still seems to take a while even after locking to sattelites to show an accurate speed?

Can't answer that, so far I've only been running in circles on my balcony
