Reverting back the baseband

shad0wboss — Fri, 31 May 2013 16:57:38 GMT

On my stock firmware, i used to get full 3G signals at home but after flashing the JB ftf, i'm only getting 2G signals at home so i guess my baseband is changed. Is it possible to get back the baseband?

you will need to use flashtool to do so

And where do i get the actual files for my baseband from?

Problem is that i'm only getting 2G at home so i suppose that my baseband is changed although it does show the baseband.

there's another thread on the same topic, you could

1) use the global generic ICS baseband (link above)

2) search the XDA forum for a particular ftf file.

and i can use that baseband on jb? So from the generic ftf file, i can only flash the baseband on the JB rom?

I haven't try that, you can take one for the team, you can check the XDA forum if there is someone that has done that.

Just a question. When you flash with SUS, does it update your phone according to your location and does it also flash the real baseband you need?

yes, if you use SUS then you will get the update according to your SI number; now, if you bought this phone lets say in the UK and you live in France, then you will get updates according to the UK not France.

Actually, as i'm updating the phone through SUS, i realized that the update before was 473 MB large and now since i'm already on the JB and i'm reflashing the update through SUS it's 505 MB because the file that i flashed was 500 MB.

Are you sure that it downloads the software according to my phone's number?

yes its based on the phone not the country were you update the phone

No i mean, why would the size of the update change if it is based on the phone?

and the baseband didn't change -.-

when you update with SUS or PCC you download 2 files one its about 10MB or so and the other is quite large, now perhaps that's the difference here

I've tried this and i doubt it would work. But if it does do let me know!

But that doesn't change the fact that if the update is based on the phone, the update size should remain the same. I think, what SUS did was to reinstall the same software already found on the phone as it stated that "your phone is up to date..."

However i want to hear the words of a developer who knows SUS inside out.
