2.2b1

Is 2.2b1 5G26 or 5G27, because on Beta Firmware, it says 5G27... --Balloonhead66 19:48, 6 August 2011 (MDT)

Baseband version numbers

From Itaiyz97 talk page

Maybe you havn't noticed, but our standard for baseband version numbers is #.##.## despite it being 0#.##.##. When it does reach 10.##.##, we will change it. But seeing as over 5 years they have only gone up to 7.##.##, it would've a while or possible not even at all... --Balloonhead66 06:48, 4 October 2011 (MDT)

Yes, please get informed about what is being used here before moving pages. But on the other hand, why remove the leading zero? Shouldn't we change this "standard" to the real version numbers? I personally would prefer this. -- http 07:33, 4 October 2011 (MDT)

Yes, I agree. A lot of times those basebands are referred to as 0#.##.## (ie. 04.26.08 instead of 4.26.08) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Itaiyz97 (talk). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.

When have you ever seen that? --Balloonhead66 18:57, 4 October 2011 (MDT)

I would like that better because 10.##.## is comming soon (maybe a year), but by then it would be like the moving the VFDecrypt Keys off of the bad pages flooding, not to mention editing the pages (especially the ones with {{keys}} and the baseband) --Balloonhead66 18:57, 4 October 2011 (MDT)

Further discussion

Before anyone moves the baseband pages again, I want to reach a consensus on this. Do we use #.##.## or 0#.##.## like the file name is? --Balloonhead66 08:28, 9 October 2011 (MDT)

I think that we should probably go with what iOS reports. (e.g.- 1.0.06 for the CDMA iPhone 4, 03.10.01 for the GSM iPhone 4…) --Dialexio 12:41, 9 October 2011 (MDT)

I fully agree with Dialexio (as mentioned earlier already), but I missed the CDMA part. And I do know that a lot of pages might be affected. -- http 14:52, 9 October 2011 (MDT)

I am also confused. Maybe we could do it based on the file name. Cuz what I am getting at from dialexio's post is that only GSM has the 0 in front of it and the CDMA has no zero. But the file name has a 0 in front (like Pheonix-03.00.03.zip). I may be wrong. But maybe we could just go with all are 2x2x2 page names instead of 1x2x2 or the file name... --Balloonhead66 16:08, 9 October 2011 (MDT)

I am requesting permission for mass editing. I will go through all the basebands with pages and move them to a prefix of 0 and go through all of the pages with links and fix them. The protected Main Page may need editing.. --Balloonhead66 19:35, 10 October 2011 (MDT)

I will do the key pages some other time as not to over flood... --Balloonhead66 19:46, 10 October 2011 (MDT)

I'm going to deny this request because while it's ideal to eliminate redirects, it's not a high priority to immediately move everything to the new naming format. It can be done over time. For the CDMA iPhone, neither the baseband file nor iOS's reported version number has a zero in the front. (I'm not too sure about the CDMA iPad, but I'm pretty sure it's in the same boat.) --Dialexio 21:24, 10 October 2011 (MDT)

How would you do this "over time"? I counted 38 baseband pages (maybe some less), so I would recommend to move all these at once and update just the baseband chip page too. Other references can be fixed over time. What do you think? --http 02:11, 11 October 2011 (MDT)

That is what I mean. Move all the BB pages and mod Firmware and Beta Firmware (and the BB Chip pages) and over time, do the other ones (like VFDecrypt Keys) --Balloonhead66 17:42, 11 October 2011 (MDT)
