Hi guys I don't wana use computer. Cause im not at home right now is it possible to change baseband with xrecovery? Cause I can download the file with wifi.
Thanks

No it isn't possible. you can only do so through flashtool
I hoped for the same thing. I wish it would have been made possible. But unfortunately it's not going to happen.
sorry man, the way bb flashing is done is via flash mode on the pc - there is no way for xrec to emulate this unfortunately, it needs to be the old fashioned usb-in-a-pc mode. sorry!
Lol it's ok. Wish there was a way people could do it with phone only just like changing roms cause I wana try cm7 and miui but if I don't like the rom means I have to change my baseband again or they should make rom available for all baseband would be awesome

Grab the BB patches that are floating around... you can flash those with xrecovery and will allow you to do exactly what you'd like.
What's BB?

Those patches don't change baseband. As of now, the only possible way of changing bb is through flashtool.

he never once said it did.....
It allows you to keep your current baseband and flash a non compatible rom however, therefore this would be better if her if she has no access to a pc.
Hmm, you're right. Still, I'm assuming BObSlob meant it was possible to change BB using those patches, because the OP's question was quite clear, she wants to switch BB through xrecovery.
If I'm mistaken i apologize in advance.
Your right lol. But I guess I have to use flashtool when I get home tonight. How long does it take to change baseband? And would I lose root?

You can change the BB without changing your FW, so no you will not lose root. But like it was mentioned you can keep your BB and still use those ROMs if you flash the BB patch through XRec.

No, I meant it as a workaround for the issue, which Ive used myself. This essentially provides you a means of keeping your current baseband and making it compatible with any rom.
Think of it as an actually delivered unified baseband that Trip promised almost two months ago.
Changing basebands is possible through custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod. xRecovery does not have the ability to alter anything in the flash memory because we do not have a fully unlocked bootloader.

OK, read the thread and understand it is not possible unless using a flashtool, any flashtools that work on IMAC, damn bootcamp is broken and been trying to fix for days, no luck so far and hate to have to redo the whole dang thing.
Hi guys! One question, i have a X10a, can i put it a X10i baseband? Because in development forum baseband 67 is only available for X10i-
Cheers.
You can put any baseband on any x10.

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.
Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.

Hi I'm new to the custom rom's and instead of searching through countless topics, mixing up instructions. I was wondering if I could get some directions.
Play is unrooted 2.3.3. I would like instructions on how to put a custom rom on the phone, and which custom rom would be recommended. Thanks in advance people.

is your phone fastboot enabled? (does the notification light in the power button turn blue if you hold the search button and then connect the usb to computer?)
If you want a custom rom but dont want to search and read these forums, i give your phone a week before you brick it.

or we could help people within the comunity to understand what's out there, the risks involved and how to get around the problems that could arise? we all need things explaining to us once in a while.
Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.
lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out
Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.
1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.
2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.
3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.
As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.
my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.
Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?
Again I'm currently running 2.3.3 nonrooted. Had it rooted on 2. 3. 2. but ofcourse lost it with update.

You won't brick it, if kernel is incompatible device with either not boot, or bootloop, flahing stock rom with flashtool will fix it though.

Ok guys im making this thread to see who would like to see official CWM Rom manager support, not because I have the ability to do such a thing, it requires our rom and kernel devs.
You need unlocked bootloaderand also doomlords boot manager (to get cwm recovery). Also you need to download rom manager from the market. When choosing the recovery to flash you need to choose htc desire hd.
I was playing with cwm rom manager just now and backed up my rom (wb v6) in one click, phone rebooted and entered recovery and backed up then rebooted upon completion automatically. You can also download roms and google app packages ota from their server from the app. There's even a couple of premium features if you buy the full version.
I want to see some x10 roms up there from our amazing devs and to be able to make the most of this amazing tool.
Im making this thread for people to post their opinions to get devs attention not to give step by step instruction on to use any tools to get your phone bootloader unlocked or flashing boot manager.
Opinions only please.

ROM Manager will never support X10 in flashing recovery from the app. The reason is we can not flash kernels from the os/phone right now. You can select manual override and select a device.
But if remember correctly there was already a thread on this though.

Yeah I've used it on my other phones..
As far as ota updates with no radio or kernel upgrade, that would work.
Like I said it would be limited though.
I don't know why x10 can't flash kernels, etc. since the unlocked bootloader. I think that would just require further development and a lot of devs have left

I think maybe we need zdzihu to come back to flash ftf and stuff. I think our bootloader is cracked but the flood gates aren't fully open if we can't write to where ever the radio stuff goes.
I guess we can only hope. Would love to be able to use all this stuff to its full potential and do away with the flashtool which is good but not very convenient if your on the go.

Fastboot refers to procedure consisting of
phone part and user part (run on PC) which suits
to update the system over USB (ROM , SPL,
splash screen), mainly it 's used to flash recovery
or custom splashscreen. As long as you follow
the procedure, it 's safe to use it. You don' t
need to install it, it can be used on every
Android system (client part comes with Win SDK
and can be downloaded for Linux also).
With most phones you don't have to flash things this way though, you can boot into the bootloader and flash files manually from your sdcard, our into recovery for roms, etc...

I think i read that SE disabled fastboot on x10, im sure i read by azuzu it was disabled. The 2011 xperia range got life easy with sony willing do offer a service for this. why did they make the x10 such a problem child?
I guess though its fair to say they appear to be learning their lesson by offering bootloader unlock for 2011+ range, supporting devs, giving phones away, having proper multitouch, 16m colours and looking at bring out dual core phones.
Its too late for some as people moved on now but if you asked people if they reckoned SE would do all this in a couple of years tehy would turn round and say yeah right! IM glad i stuck it out and its been totally worth it to have my x10 how it is now and love it.

My previous and first smartphone was the X10 mini pro. After reading about rooting I did it with Superoneclick and it was easy. I also managed to unroot by using SE update service. My question is how can I easily root my Arc S? I dont want to use other roms, just use apps that need it. I dont really understand what flashing is. Also dont want to potentially brick my phone using methods that are hard.
If you would use the search option, there's so many threads already, some of them are even stickies.
Look around a little, you have come to the right place, but no one is going to paste you links here. If you still can't find it after an hour of searching, ask again.

Everything is up to date. I have tried searching but have hit brickwalls
To get root on your current set up you will need to use flashtools, go to the development section out the arc forum and download v8 think v9 is a bit buggy.
Next go the general stickies and look in the post by overlo4d on how to root.
you will need too downgrade the kernel so download the kernel you need, then root using doomlords exploit,then upgrade the kernel again found in overlo4d thread.
It is very easy tho sounds complicated.
Everything is explained in the main rooting thread by overlo4d.

Rooting isn't possible without flashing, but you don't need to unlock your bootloader for that. Just read everything trough, and download all the nessecery files.
