[Q] Difference between "Baseband Version" and "Build Number" - Galaxy 3 General

I have Froyo (motafoca's custom rom) installed on Galaxy 3 (I5801).
In Settings > About Phone following information is shown:
Baseband version: I5800xxJP4
Build Noumber: FROYO.XXJPF
What is the difference between both of these things?
Can Baseband Version be upgraded?

Baseband version means Radio version in the phone

So is it possible to update it?
When we update the ROM, or when we install a custom ROM, does this baseband version get updated?

baseband should updated if you will flash image in PHONE part in odin. if you are flashing custom rom then you do not flash this part. you flash PDA only. so radio and bootloader you usually dont flash.
flashing radio is allegedly only thing that can brick your phone.
in our galaxy 3 jpf rom we have baseband version I5800XXJP4. i think this is newest version. if not, somebody can correct me.

Its the bootloader that can brick your phone. Not the radio.

But the changes in baseband version would improve/decrease radio preformance? what will happen if you replace new baseband version with an old one?

I think as long as the ROMs you flashed is meant for the international version of S4, it should not be a problem.

[Q] Rom flashing dilemma!

Hey guys, I'd like to know whether I can flash a rom with an older baseband version! Like if we talk about note 3 Exonus version, and I'm updated to Kitkat! My version is N900XXUDNA6 so if a rom is based on N900XXUCMK2, can I flash it!

No bootloader downgrade is possible. Once upgraded you must stay with it

I'm not sure about the exynos model but on N900W8, you can flash an older baseband through odin.

[Q] Flash From 4.4.4 to 4.2-4.3 Troubles

When I attempt to flash back from a rooted stock 4.4.4 to 4.3 it takes a longer period of time for the phone to boot up, when it does I'm unable to get phone or wifi signal. I've tried 4.2.2 and the phone signal works but can't enable wifi. What else should I include doing after flashing the stock roms?
Current phone info if necessary:
Android version 4.4.4
Baseband Version M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.98
Kernel Version 3.4.0-perf-ga6edd5e
[email protected] #1
Build number KTU84P
For wifi/network activity you need to flash the corresponding radio of that android version aswell.
Newer radio's dont seem to work on older versions of android (eg. 4.4.4 radio on 4.3)

I've tried flashing radio .83 & .84, the wifi will work but no mobile signal and when I check the phone info it reads unknown under the baseband version.

[Q] Old Bootloader

Sorry if this is a noob question but will running an old bootloader (say 4.4.2 NA6) with a newer official rom (like 4.4.2 NE4) allow me to downgrade using Mobile Odin Pro?
And if thats the case, are there likely to be any performance issues with running an old bootloader with a new firmware?
KitKat boatloader works on all KitKat roms. Is good to update to latest boatloader to match the rom but no biggie if not.

so then will i be able to downgrade from newer roms to older roms with mobile odin (seeing as it doesnt touch the bootloader) if i have the oldest KitKat bootloader installed?
you can move to all 4.4.2 rom you want but NO downgrade to 4.3 rom
I'm on NA6 BL with NG1 rom

x727 baseband anyone?

I bricked my phone back in the days before we had the perm bootloader unlock and the only way I was able to fix it was to flash the CN x720 ROM. This got everything back up and running but I'm now stuck on the x720 baseband. Does anyone have a flashable copy of the x727 baseband?
i believe im having somewhat similar issues. I unlocked and rooted. suddenly my cell service is all wonky. constantly going in and out. can never stay on lte for to long.... im assuming kernal baseband got messed up with wrong twrp etc w/e really need a fix as this phoen now isnt reliable...

The last post by Honda John in the cyanogen post had a file
So I should be able to pull out the modem and flash it in fastboot.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img
Correct? Are there any other required files?

To reply to my own message .... Yes you can flash the NON-HLOS.img in fastboot. My baseband is now "MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.9.1-00010" which is what the x727 baseband is according to this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/lex727-baseband-kernel-version-t3501285
Of course I didn't check the version prior to flashing this one so I have no idea if it's different than the CN baseband version.

I have X720 with Grossoshop ROM, same baseband.

I have the same baseband on my x727, and I've been on stock CN Rom, GrossoShop Rom, MIUI Rom and back to US Rom. I have excellent LTE signal along with band 12. I don't think I ever bothered to check what the factory baseband was.
By the way, you are correct, the NON-HLOS.bin is the only file you need to flash to get modem correct. I used to do that all the time in my Xiaomi Note 3 Pro kate version when flashing kenzo Roms.
