the baseband can't be changed
 
Theres has been a discussion on pulling the baseband....can it be done ?
Yes it can but thats seriously a lot of work think its even harder than building a rom

It has been brought up several times, always ending at the same point: no, the baseband cannot be "pulled" or changed.

well actually the baseband can be changed as it is software. look around in some of the forums around here, they were able to do it. it just the fact that the people capable doing this for the admire are gone, banned, too busy, or just dont want to. for now the admire is dead. and it is hard to do because no one out there takes the time to make a simple walkthrough for it but the iphone does have many walkthroughs for this topic. can you spell irony?? thats why trying to do it is hard as a b**** if you dont know what you are doing.
 
The admire is dead people ...
Move on to the lg motion 4g : which includes ics and a beast of a processor and more...lol just saying ;)

No root no sign of dev. Better phone yes but only if you like the way metro personalizes everything. Think I'll wait for a root. I bought one for my girl, it's a great little phone but I want more than what is provided by metro. My 3g is only 100Kb slower than her 4g. My phone flies at 900 mhz compared to to 1.5GHz. Ya the admire is dead but the motion is dead in the water until it gets a root. Btw the ics is really nice though...
 
Flash any other ROM than Open Android by Spz0 and your baseband will change. OA was made with Criket in mind, and the other ROMs in the Admire forum were made for MetroPCS.

Try Settings - About Phone - Scroll Down To Baseband Version and there you should notice a difference. I can speak for myself that when I flashed OA my baseband changed.

forget what i had previous written here. WHAT I MEANT BY FORGET WHAT I HAD WRITTEN IS WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THIS POST NOT THE ONES ABOVE LOL :)

yeah thats cause OA is made for cricket ORIGINALLY but it Spz0 made it for Metro too. thats why it changes the basehand when you flash OA but if you were to flash any other rom made for the Metro Admire idk if it would change the basehand, in theory since it works with OA it should work but in practice its a question. i myself dont want to try it cause i like my admire the way it is lol if i had 2nd one i would try it though

Would Baseband displayed in settings be in Build.prop? If so then I guess that's why mine appeared to change. At the end of the day I don't know why Baseband is so relevant to want to be changed in the first place.

This isn't true. Well i know after i flashed 2.3.6 my baseband changed to blah blah x ff18 and even after flashing oa it's remained the same.

I pulled the ff18 from the 2.3.6 upgrade tar. I'm still on EH02. Attempting to pull w/adb now.
*edit*Pulled and tarred ff18 and eh02. Another thread by rec devs state flashing bb with ODIN. I ain't trying' it though LOL.

Post resurrection, but I need to clear up this mis-truth..

My ROM Does NOT change your baseband revision. In fact, There isnt an aftermarket ROM out for the admire that _does_. All the Throm'ers on here dont have the skillset required to pull or flash basebands with their zips - and its risky business to do so. Don't believe the hype.

If you want to change your revision, then use an official updater (such as the generic 2.3.6 update from sammy, or the the cricket leaked corp flash util, or the new 2.3.6 update for the admire). This is the only method to date.

I got the FF18 amss from the official sammy mpcs updater 2.3.6. I pulled my mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, and mmcblk0p2 from my phone with adb. Since I don't know which block the modem resides yet, I'm gonna look at decompiling them later, once I get the proper tools. I got the EH02 amss file from original 2.3.4. The permissions are correct and they're ODIN ready. Site won't let me upload the tar though, some token error.

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/amss.bin

in Linux change permissions to rw-rw-r and compress to .tar
*Thanks to Shabbypenguin for location of modem.*
 
Just flashed FF18 with ODIN. So far I can't tell a difference. Gonna test signal quality, speed, and battery usage during the next week.
