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] Advice on firmware/Modem *Flashed Results*

Firstly thanks to such a great community, v interesting stuff here.
I need some advice., I have flashed to the following and just need clarification it looks fine and have done the correct firmware/modem update.
Model: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXKG6
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo titan#20
Build Number: VillanROM 2.4.2
Also, before i did this flash i had a MASSIVE problem with battery draining, the phone wouldn't connect to PC. Bloody nightmare, anyone heard of this?

isn't there 2.3.5 for I9100 ?

If you had a massive problem before, does it still exist? I am confused that you had issues, flashed a new rom, issues gone and want to know why your old issues were there.
A) Because the earth is round
B) Question time at your house is ironic.
C) With all that info I didn't want to get too specific.
Cheers and GL

[Q] Possible to get Bluetooth Calling Back?

I've been searching around a lot and am starting to see conflicting information, so I figured I'd reach out for some help.
What I have done so far:
Installed Clockwork Recovery
Installed latest CM7 Nightly (20130301)
Install Mazout's Kernel (0323GBOC)
My primary question: Can I get bluetooth calling back? (I've read both "no" and "yes, but only with stock").
Secondary questions: If so, what is my best option? (Best in my case is stable/fast, fancy features are much less important).

BT Calling works or doesn't work based upon the mixture of ROM and RIL you have installed.
If you have v21y of the RIL (dated Mar. of 2012) then your only option for a working BT calling ROM is STOCK or Modified STOCK (KWES has one I beleive).
If you have the v21e RIL (dated Jul of 2011) then BT calling should work with all ROM's (CM7 and Stock).

Many thanks for your prompt and clear response.
Unfortunately my Baseband version is the one dated Mar 11, 2012 :crying:
I'll look into the ROM you mentioned.

You can downgrade the baseband.
