[Q] Baseband and Bootloader separate?

Hi all,
Browsing through the 4.2.2 threads I keep on seeing the baseband and bootloader discussed and now I'm wondering if the latest baseband and bootloader are installed when you for example flash a rooted and deodexed factory 4.2.2 .zip.
Thanks in advance.

Most likely, yes. Why wouldn't they be? Easy enough to check with you download the ZIP. Just open it and see what's included.

Radio and bootloader are not updated by flashing a 4.2.2 stock zip.

Ok fair, not when flashing the actual "ZIP" itself. But I consider it all one and the same when going from a version upgrade. Flash bootloader, flash radio, flash zip. My interpretation of the upgrade was just different.

Okay, thanks for the replies. Any reason why they aren't included and are they in for example an AOKP or CM build?

No one knows a reason why? I can confirm they aren't present in CM btw.

They are not included in ROM's because people like to use different radios and bootloaders. Just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194
Download the zip that includes both the baseband and bootloader and flash via recovery (TWRP/CWM).

Updated to 4.2.2, flashing questions

I've seen quite a bit about updating boot loader and radio before v flashing 4.2.2, but what about the other way around? Do i have to flash 4.2.1 boot loader and radio or am i good? Thanks in advance

Before rooting i did the ota to 4.2.2. In all the threads it says if you haven't done the ota you need to flash 4.2.2 bootloader and radio before flashing 4.2.2 roms. So if i wanted to flash a 4.2.1 rom coming from a 4.2.2 rom, do i have to flash the 4.2.1 bootloader and radio or will it work with the 4.2.2 radio and bootloader? Hope this clarifies. And thank you

OK, that's clear. Sorry for my English
First, I used to update to 4.2.2 without updating my bootloader, I just updated my baseband because the Microphone and the Earpiece didn't wok without it (at least, that was my situation).
Second. I dont understand why you rollback to 4.2.1, but if you want to, just keep the 4.2.2 bootloader and baseband. That's OK. Hopefully.

I just want to try out some ROMs that haven't been updated to 4.2.2 yet, like raspbean jelly or baked black bean, but i can't find info on if you have to flash the baseband and boot loader with it

Change 4.4 to 4.3

Hello guys,
i have a question, Can i change my phone to a previous version?
Now, Im in 4.4, and i want 4.3 JWR66 on my nexus. Could be a problem if i flash a previous version?
Thanks.

As far as I'm aware it should be fine, I flashed KitKat and then decided to flash back to 4.3 which worked fine, now I'm back on 4.4 with no issues. Just make sure you backup incase it doesn't work for you!

if you are rooted and have a recovery you can flash a 4.3 ROM...Also make sure you have .84 Radio..If you have have .97 Radio, flash .84 radio after flashing the ROM and the GAPPS..Here is the link for .84 Radio...
P.S. Post a question in the Q&A section

Thanks!

[Q] flash xxuena6 from xxuena2? possible?

Hi guys, I just flashed a xxuena2 stock 4.4 kitkat rom via odin and was wondering if it was possible for me to flash a xxuena6 rom (the polish kitkat rom) over it
The main reason being, I think the xxuena2 baseband is whats stopping me from installing a custom rom - but I have no idea

The baseband is NA2 and the build number is NA6 they're one and the same afaik.
As for installing a custom ROM well you can install NA6 based ROMs only like flexkat, sweetrom kingdroid and crashrom. But not CM or older builds of said ROMs.
