It did not fix mine. It gets all the way to the end, then gives me an error message.

That could be Oden. try a different usb port. Also try restarting your computer.
It's not for odin. He sent a flashing software with it. This will fix all problems

No, I was using the Samsung PST software. It downloads the software to 100%, then an error dialogue box pops up.
I have the "unknown baseband" problem, and I think it's failing right at the very end as it's trying to flash the modems.
Sorry for the multiple posts--this topic is being discussed in a lot of different threads, and I feel like I'm the only one who can't get it to work successfully.
Baseband Radio
Ok so this is a noob Q. Is the baseband what gives my charge Signal?? Ive been having problems with dropped calls and lack of network stablility would this fix it and can i upgrade to ee4, root flash roms and kernels and still keep the new baseband? Thanks...

In a nut shell, YES. Once you get yourself to an ED1 or ED2 stock or rooted state, you should then be able to accept the OTA EE4 update which will update your radio. Just make sure you are not on a custom rom when you update. So, stock rooted ED1 or ED2, then update. Just apply the OTA, then your favorite root kernel. If you want a custom rom, pick one that is made for the EE4 update. However, you will not lose the radio/baseband update as the custom roms and kernel's don't touch the radio area.
Good luck!!
Thanks youre the only who answered any of my posts...lol I was thinking maybe I had to know someone

Did you take Sim Card out? Heres i what i did.
as soon as i put the phone in download mode ( you know yellow triangle?) i inserted the battery, make sure its fully charged and make sure you take the sim card out. So i inserted the battery back in and pressed the button to start flashing the ED1 file. I tried to flash the ED2 thats on the list but that file is borken i think.
Please continue this discussion in the thread linked in Post #1 so that everything is in one place.

I'm updated to GB and can't revert. I think I know the answer to this because I've been watching superoneclick like a hawk waiting for version 2.0 but no sign yet. I just was wondering tho, if there was some serious forceful way to wipe my g2x and flash stock rom thru nvflash?

I too am waiting for a way to root the update. I don't like flashing roms that are not from official sources (lg, T Mobile) not that there is any thing wrong with other roms I just prefer official stock rooted with my own tweaks. Hopefully soon one of the great developers here can figure it out

NVFlash isn't bothered by updates of any kind, so if you've lost custom recovery just re-flash

you can't revert to what? and why can't you? who or what is stopping you? you don't flash roms through nvflash. just recoveries. i know the o2x can flash roms with nvflash, but i'm not sure about g2x. correct me if i'm wrong.

Ok, if you have not been able to figure out how to do it with all of the posts written here, all of the stickies, all of the replies to your pleadings, then PLEASE...don't root.

thank you for your condescending advise. i hope one of the xda mods makes you xda police. and i hope the baby your wife is expecting is born healthy and energetic.
to reiterate i cannot flash anything thru nvflash(clockwork nor stock froyo) and i cannot root with superoneclick. i updated by using a KDZ_FW_UPD.exe app that was linked in these very forums. this app apparently is translated from korean. i was not able to flash the new .kdz version by normal means--i had to go into the submenu "read phone information" and click "upgrade start" there...that installed gingerbread and unrooted me.
rather than evoke more eager and stoic xda members' attempt to distinguish themselves as intelligent comprehending human beings i simply instead wish for my thread to by deleted lest this be another blight on our holy xda forums g2x section where from nothing but the best forums posts stems from. because we could probably use another "what do you think guys? should i trade back my sensation for the g2x i once owned already now that gingerbread::drooool:: is finally out because i didnt know there already were gingerbread roms out there and instead i just had to tell the whole world "goodbye lg, never again, cry river?""
i am still on my first g2x and have never called tmobile complaining about screen bleed or anything else that seems to be only perpetuated by retarded threads in this g2x general forum that i sift thru on a DAILY basis while trying to find useful information and possible help out someone with advise from my own experience in similar situations

.stock froyo is flashed through cwm, not nvflash. why cant you update? be more specific. error messages?
2-.i had to go into the submenu "read phone information" and click "upgrade start" there...that installed gingerbread and unrooted me.
i updated the same way, then flashed back to cwm. nvflash gave me issues,although it always worked before, but one click flasher app flashed it fine.

uninstall all lg drivers. reboot. reinstall drivers http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG_T-Mobile_Android_USB_Driver_v2.2.zip
@Daffydukc, I had the same issue. The good news is that since you already updated using the LG tool, you have the newer baseband. Right now, the "hard part" is getting CMW through NV flash back, which will let you flash whatever rom you want. I suggest the pre-rooted version of the same gingerbread update from xboarder56 over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
For now, try what crazythunder suggested and uninstall the LG drivers that the LG update tool might have deposited on your system and reinstall the drivers that worked prior to your update. Take out the battery, hold down vol up AND vol down, plug in the usb cable and see if your computer see's your phone. If it doesn't work, try again (it didn't work for me the 1st time either)
I'm now rooted with new baseband and liking it so far, goodluck.
THANK YOU!
great advise with the uninstall and then re install lg drivers i had not considered lg update tools overwriting the drivers that allow flashing CWM with drivers that arent really conducive to flashing CWM. i did that, and i read somewhere a suggestion to press the power button as well as the volume buttons.
i cant tell which of these two things was what did it for me but i'm so grateful for the help. i was sure to hit the thanks button for you guys!!
Hi folks...
I am trying to help a friend that owns this phone. I recently rooted it for him and all was well until one day he said that the phone died and when he rebooted the phone would force close EVERYTHING, rendering the phone unusable. Here's what I have done thus far:
via odin... i have tried everything in the "how to fix your phone" post all with the same result of the phone booting to setup force closing everything.
so i got the idea to try and get cwm installed and try a custom rom (tweaked v2.2). Initially, after I installed it, the phone bootlooped. So i found the post with the stock fp1 kernel (which is the kernel with the rom if i'm not mistaken) and flashed it. The phone booted... still forces closing everything.
I am stuck now... Not bricked by any means, but this force close issue is going to be the bain of my existence:crying:. If anyone has experienced this and managed to get the phone working normally again, please help.
I am pretty good with everything on samsung phones except ADB... if the fix involves that just make the instructions idiot proof...
THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

QUESTION...should i be checking the repartition, efs clear, of boot update boxes when using the pst program, or do i just keep trying to flash and re-flash until the problem goes away?

If you are flashing with the pit Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and PDA should be the only things checked. If you are not flashing with the pit then Re-Partition should be unchecked
Thanks Paul, i was using the samsungPST program, so i will give the repartition option a try within that program.
Maybe you are using the wrong version of odin. 1.83 or 1.85 are the only versions you should be using
been using 1.85, will try 1.83...
When using PST check only the PIT. EFS Clear and Boot Update will break the phone even more.

what kernel are you running?
Whatever kernel that comes with the stock rom, that is unless it stays with whatever was last flashed kernel wise. If that's the case, it's stock fp1
Sent from a phone that is better than sliced bread...
Reading through this I haven't seen any mention of taking the OTA updates. After flashing EP4D with Pit did you allow the 2 over the air updates from Verizon? This needs to be done before flashing Tweaked. Then when you flash Tweaked I suggest using the Odin version "Tweaked with CWM". That worked out perfectly for me.
Update: Also did you check the MD5 Checksum of the EP4 file you downloaded. That's pretty much mandatory since bad downloads do sometimes happen.

You don't need to use recovery at all. Odin EP4 then take the two OTA updates then odin Tweaked 3.0 w/ CWM. It's in the OP. I did setup Google Backup on EP4 before I took the OTA's. I never use VZW Backup.

Okay I am on stock 4.1.2 not rooted not unlocked. The last update borked my internet so that 4g is rare and used to be pretty good. I think all I would need to do is revert back to a previous radio firmware but since I am stock I think I need to revert back to ICS before I can do anything? My internet at home is out today so I am tethered to this slow 3G connection that makes researching this difficult.
Any help and/or links are appreciated.
Thanks

Before you Odin flash, have you tried pulling the sim card for about 30 seconds to update your Preferred Roaming List (PRL)? This would basically have your phone update and readjust/allow it to connect with any new towers in your respective area. It's may not result in any significant change but it doesn't hurt either.
Best of luck getting LTE back!

Okay got my modem flashed and soon as it booted up I got 4g.. then it went back to 3g and stayed there. I will need to test for a few days before I come to any final conclusions.
When I had my Sprint GS2 there was a bunch of network tweaks posted on this forum. Settings that would help it hold 4g longer and such, I have searched high and low and cant find anything like that for this phone. If you know of any tweaks please post a link.. even just a dns server change is worth a shot.

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Uh status 7 is assert protection so its a mismatch usually in device info typically model numbers, and has nothing to do with bad downloads.

That's an alternate form of DL mode. Odin a stock ROM from that screen. Read the Noobs Guide. Odin is finicky so pay attention to the guide. Then read it again. Once you've read and comprehend it all spin in a circle saying "I deserve this" three times and Odin will grant your wish. lol

Got it working, used TWRP to flash the latest RC CM 10.1
Got it all going now after a minor heart attack and a few more grey hairs. Just gotta figure out why the wifi isn't working at all now. Can't get it to turn on.
Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:

If I go thru the process and upgrade my baseband to the new one verizon just released, will I still be able to flash any rom I want once I re root the phone again???

Im on a customized rom now. Do you think its best to allow my phone to take the upgrade....go back and re root real quick. and then reflash the old baseband.
Or just flash the new build and reflash the old baseband.
I heard it best to allow your phone to take the OTA from verizon, which if I do I will obviously loose root...

It depends on what you want. The rom does not change the baseband. If you want to stay on the old baseband just flash a new rom. No need to reroot and go through all that unless you just want to.

Maybe it best I just wait and see what happens with Verizon. If they come out with a diff upgrade to fix the radio issues..

I wouldn't wait for them. I would just odin back to stock and start all over again.....it's really not that difficult. just make sure you have anything important backed up somewhere
