1. A ROM is the firmware, or Operating Sytem, of your phone. It's a package that contains the OS, drivers, programs and other odds and clods that make your phone work!
2. A baseband is a special package (kind of like a ROM) that controls the radios in your phone (cellular radio [phone part], bluetooth, WiFi etc.)
3. A build number is the version of the Operating System you are installing. Every manufacturer uses different naming systems for their builds, but usually the higher the letters/numbers, the newer the build. A new build will often contain a new baseband, and a new kernel. If you're lucky, you can sometimes even get a new OS version (as you did)!
Hope this helps!

pudding no root?
ok guys/girls I have been looking on here for a week and a half now but I flashed pudding and im unlocked as well but no root access obviously something i am not doing right. I thought pudding would give root but maybe not? I also have tried booting in recov. but then I can't find anything in there that says root or whatever.
I have the superuser app. dosent work as well as tita. says not rooted? It also says that a newer version is released and that it was put on my sd card but can't find it?
Any help is welcome or just point me to the right thread.
No dummie responses as they are a waste of your intellectual ability when you could have just used that energy to respond with help.

[Q] [Question] It's the Semaphore [Kernel] 2.4.0 xxJW1 Fully Compatible With...

Hi, first of all, thank you all for the work you do here and so invaluable assistance to users like me.
My question is this:
I have a GT I9000 SGS GingerBread XWJVZ v2.3.6 Open EUR [kernel semaphore v2.1.1]
Can i upgrade the kernel version to 2.4.0 or is reserved to JW1?
From what I read in the post (in which I can not now ask this question) is reserved for GingerBread not for the particular version, but if you were kind enough to confirm I'd appreciate it.
Much improvement over the v2.1.1 with which I am very happy?
Thank you again.

Please..

please if someone had 3 minutes to confirm I would be very grateful ...

Yes you can use 2.4.0, I'm using it on jvt!

Can anybuddy help me in finding a suitable kernel and flashing via odin
Sir I have downloaded the zip files of slim rom .....but unable to open in cwm recovery mode due to 3e recovery
Mode .... I know the procedure of flashing the kernel via odin..... just I need is kernel file for my galaxy s I 9000 so plz help me in finding and downloading the suitable kernel ... My phone model is Gt i9000, Firmware version.: 2.3.6...,Baseband version :I9000BUJV4, Build no. : GINGERBREAD.BUJVG , Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-I9000BUJVG-CL719381 [email protected]#2
from My Samsung Galaxy S Gt i9000

my i5800

hi guys im a UK based gt-i5800 user currently using a custom rom and kernel.
im just wondering where can i locate the original 2.1 eclair kernel and rom from this fone.
i know it sounds crazy going back to eclair but i just wanna start from scratch.
can you guys please tell me what the UK rom and kernel were for oct 2010 please and also links to the specific files if possible.
i have tried searching through the website and even found roms on sammobile.com but they all confuse me. any help is much appreciated

it should be here somewhere
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I5800&r=1#regiona

thats where i was looking all i need to know is what kernel site has original kernel

All stock ROMs come with stock kernels. I believe the version you need is I5800XXJK1, because that is the latest XX version of eclair (I have also installed it once and the local product region in build.prop was GB). There is a tool on sammobile which will tell you does this version fits your smartphone, so first check out there.

here is the link for the stock kernels
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125387

i dont think in the above link has stock kernels/custom ones for ecliar

[Q] Baseband Problem India P920

Hi,
Can someboby help me? No matter what custom rom I flash, I get no network signal. I am from Delhi, India & I am using LG optimus 3D(P920).
I installed Lewa OS Rom, CM Nightly, King 3D. Everything else is fine, but I dont any any signal at all. In my Baseband Version section it says unknown Baseband. After this I tried installing Defy Broadband Switcher, But when i run the tool, It is closing down automatically, saying unexpected error has closed the application. Can someone explain why this is happening? What can I do to make custom rom get signal??
Thanks in Advance.

Are you on 21e baseband? If you aren't follow this guide http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html.
You will have to root and install cwm again

Hi,
Can you please let me know the baseband version from settings==> about phone==>baseband version
and the Software version.
best thing is to flash the 21E baseband, root and then install custom roms based on the 21E baseband versions. also, the kernels version needs to be matching with the kernel version in the settings ==> about phone ==> Kernel version.
the kernel version may be with + at the end or without the + at the end.
lets see what went wrong!

hi,
lzzar has given you the link http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html.
just follow the steps without deviation. your present baseband is V10d. you can flash 21E without worries.
download the V21E from the link. this is the best baseband. after you flash this baseband, you will have to root your phone, and then install clockwork mod recovery. Once this is done, you can flash any 21e based roms. your kernel does not have + in the end. after you falsh the baseband, check the kernel version again. all the roms have built in kernels. in case you want to try other kernels, try kernels without the + in the end and you will be fine.
all the best and keep posting!!

Thanks schubeir, Flashing 21e did the trick. Now when I install custom Rom, I am getting the signal. Thanks for your help. The only strange thing that is happening is with Lewa Rom, I cant seem to open Google play store & cant snchronize. With CyanogenMod 7.2+ v1.7.0 P920 Rom, my phone is getting rebotting a lot. But do you recommend a stable rom that dont have these problems.
Thanks Raj

With any CM based ROMS you will have to flash GAPPS (GoogleApps, you can search the forums for "gapps") separately.
also, CM based ROMS will not have proper 3D (you can take pics, but cannot view) and HDMI. without 3D, there is no point in having the O3D!
you can try ThiaZ, Promethius, Acura3D and other roms based on 21E and various Kernels, overclocked and non overclocked, retaining the 3D and HDMI features.

Same here. I'm from the Philippines and my current version "baseband version : L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00 and Software version : LGP920-V20b-JAN-10-2012" I can't find any suitable or same ROM on 3D optimus development thread that has the same base. Thanks.. Just got rooted my phone and stuck at the moment finding a ROM. or is it okay to use any of those ROM like on ThiaZ, etc? Thanks!

[Q] shw m110s

good day to all..
im new with this phone..this one is a korean version of galaxy s1(shw m110s)
im confused with how to install custom roms here...
what do i need to download..a kernel or a custom rom?
thanks xda

Moved to General Q&A.

The kernel allows the ROM to communicate with the hardware specific to your device. All ROMs have a kernel build-in. If the custom ROM is designed fir your phone, it will work fine. If the ROM was intended for a device in the same family as yours, you can flash that ROM, then flash the kernel for your phone, & it'll work. If the ROM was designed for a completely different device, nothing will get it to work.
Remember to always do a nandroid backup before flashing stuff!!
