Firmware versions gsm play - Xperia Play General

Hi all, i have been looking for some cool mods and found the extra power menu and it appears you need either [62][58][42].
I believe i have -36.
Is my logic right?
I have the gsm version with baseband 20302204-36.
does [62][58][42] in the title represent the last two numbers of the base band?
Thanks
sorry I'm haveing a brain fart, i was using mt htc raider for a few months and have come back to my play for a while, i want to get use to se again as I'm looking to get the xperia s in march.

Your version is [368] which is the firmware before [42], you need 4.0.2.A.0.XX (XX being 42, 58, or 62)
All I remember about the basebands is, .368 is -36 and .62 is -64

dont look at just the baseband
look for build number at the bottom of settings/about phone
you can run a different baseband in different firmware
I use .62 firmware with 36 baseband

updating to froyo which one and how

Got a galaxy S i9000 yesterday and i am looking at updating it to Froyo. When checking for update using kies it says there are no updates available. The only other option is by tricking kies into thinking there is.
pressing *#1234# shows
pda i900jpjg8
phone : i9000jxjg2
csc : i9000jpjg9
IN Settings > About Phone > Baseband Version it shows i9000jxjg2
The phone is unlocked and unbranded.
Can Someone please point in the right direction as what would be the best way to flash froyo on it? I know tricking kies is there but what should i trick it to exactly? What code to use?
/Edit : Which is the best product code to enter for kies to flash froyo? With all these choices there must be 1 ROM that is open and quite good.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
This is the thread for patching Kies for Froyo, there are different Roms for different regions, you need to decide which region's Rom you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
most of the ROMS in there are for certain carriers in certain country. Isnt there a ROM that universal and can be used for any phone. If i were to say pick an european ROM which would be the best one to go for. no carrier branding nothing.
thanks for replying.
Check out this thread and instructions you will have the European upgrade with this. (post 80)

[Q] 3G baseband issues

Hi,
Having a bit of trouble with the baseband on my rooted x8, had to update the baseband to accommodate hackdroids froyobread v0.30. I flashed the baseband in flash tool, I have a 'a' version of the x8, so I used the X8a - E15a Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
The issue is, my phone boots, wifi works and so does edge, however, I can't seem to get 3G. Im aware that 3g loss can occur if u flash an 'i' baseband to an 'a' phone (or visa versa), however to my knowledge I have flashed the right version. I live in Australia and am on the Vodafone AU network, any suggestions to fix this issue?
Thanks for the help
Are u using the one that on same post from lmppy stated on post 2?
Thanks for the quick reply,
No, im using Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6 from the first post, I downloaded the file that imppy put up however its 117mb, which leads me to believe that it's a ROM, rather than just a baseband, should I install it anyway?

[Q] How are firmware version numbers built?

Does anyone know how the firmware version number is constructed?
From extensive reading here, I come to these conclusions.
All Optimus owners have firmware version starting 1.0.x.y
What do x and y mean?
In another thread, people are talking about getting a fantastic upgrade to 1.0.10.10.
But many people suggest x = country(?)/carrier(?) and y= actual version.
I think x=1 is OPEN.
I originally had 1.0.1.12 (NLD OPEN) and now have flashed 1.0.1.10 (GBR OPEN).
I have seen people posting a version ending in 11.
So y = 10 or 11 or 12.
If 1.0.10.10 is the latest and greatest, what did people have BEFORE getting that?
just region specific isn't it? 1.0.10.10 seems to be ITA/GER. Probably minor language differences between that and 1.0.8.10 that i'm running (Orange UK).

[Q] Unavailable stock SBF version

Hey there, new to the Android scene.
Just about to flash my Defy with CM7.1 however first a concern:
My system version is 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ, build number 3.4.2-145 version 2.2.2. Running on 2degrees network in New Zealand but it's primarily a Telecom NZ network phone.
When I match the build number with the table at (and-developers dot com/sbf:defy damn new user link restriction) I get
"Australia Optus JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2-145 900 / 2100 N/A not mirrored".
This concerns me because a) it's not my carrier's ROM and b) it's not mirrored
IF I was to flash my defy with CM7.1 and needed a factory recover for warranty, would I even be able to do the recover in the first place and if so, would the store be able to see I flashed a custom firmware because I'm running a version other than 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ?
Is there any way I can make my own full/fixed SBF of the current firmware?
Cheers, thought it's better to be safe than sorry.
No ideas? I really would like to get off 2.2...
How have you got on with this, im running the same telecom system version as you and want to flash to cm7, im pretty new to all this.
I haven't done it yet. Was hoping to get a response so that I could go forth but I'm not willing to do so without knowing that I can get back to the stock TNZ firmware if I need to warranty.

Yotaphone getting too hot

Hello Everybody,
I bought a Yotaphone 2 model YD206 at Gearbest. The Smartphone arrived with Android KitKat, I used for some time and it was OK, but after updating to Android 5 ROM CN it started getting too hot while casual using such as Facebook, E-mail, Whatsapp.
Is that normal? I expected that it could get warm only while playing games or using GPS, but for my surprise it is getting too hot only for normal usage.
Is there anyone who get the same problem? If I change to another rom such RU or EU can solve the problem?
I already root the phone and also installed xposed together with L Speed to see if the problem persists, but it is still happening.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a chinese version of Lollipop?
Anyway, I see many people like you complaining about the phone getting hot after an upgrade. My guess is that its related to the baseband version. Since your model is YD206, are you sure you have flashed the correct chinese baseband with this so-called CN firmware (isn't it HK? Isn't it for YD201 models?)?

Yes, the model before updating was YD206 CN and after flashing to Android 5 it changed to YD201 HK 1.124d.
Is there a CN firmware running Android 5? I only found HK. Maybe this is the reason it is getting hot, the baseband / radio from these versions are different, can it be?
Yeah, I would definitely flash the YD206 baseband.
In this thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194), there's a revamped version of the YotaFlasher attached to the first post. With this one, it is possible to select what to flash individually to the device, i.e, whether system+radio+userdata, or only system, or only radio etc. With that you can choose to flash only the radio files from YD206 firmwares.
Use this reworked YotaFlasher, download any chinese Kitkat firmware and make sure to allow to flash only the radio binaries when prompted.
