This is a Nandroid backup, do not try to flash it as a regular rom.

you could install the "official" leak with new baseband, flash to cwm, then flash the rooted leak and still have the new baseband. that's what i did.

The newer baseband "should" be an upgrade over the old one. Its too early to tell.
I dont know about you guys but reception, data and battery used by the original radio for this phone sucked the big pastrami for me. I get no bars where my vibrant and NXS get at least two, thus this thing is sucking the battery searching for signal. And this happens to be at work where i spend 50 hours a week at. This issue alone makes me very disappointed with my g2x.

OTA 2.3.3 kernels?
I believe there were some kernels that worked on paul's leaked GB and ROM's based on that, but i do not recall. I am assuming hey will work on this.
Anyone remember, and if so, could you post?

I downloaded the gb leak from LG when it came out. I liked it at first but I missed the LG camera. So I flashed CWM with nvflash. I did a nandroid backup. I was still not rooted yet. Then I flashed Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo then did the supeoneclick root method and then flashed faux kernel. I happened to notice that I kept the new baseband the whole time. Which was a surprise to me. Do jot know if this will help anyone but just thought maybe someone might want to know if they wanted the baseband. I am not sure if this will work with other roms but I tried it with Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure none of the ROMs in this forum have a baseband included in the .zip file. So none of them should change the baseband in any way.
Since no dev has uploaded a flashable update for the baseband (probably so nobody bricks their phone), the only way to get it is by using the lg updater tool.
It seems that the 2.3.3 roms and the 2.3.4 roms from cm7 source are working with the new baseband, I haven't checked to see whether any based on faux's aosp are working.
Hope that helps anybody.
Can you make a nandroid of Eagle's Blood 1.0.5 with the new baseband and post it here? I'm trying to do the update via LG's program but it's bricked my phone and crashed windows 7 twice. This is my first experience with the dreaded blue screen of death!

if you're thinking a nandroid will backup the radio, you're wasting your time. if that were the case,everyone could simply flash the rooted gb leak that is posted and instantly have the new baseband. FOR ANYONE THAT IS CURIOUS--AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE NEW BASEBAND WITHOUT FIRST FLASHING THE RECENT GB LEAK. not yelling at you tidewaterns, just wanted to make that clear to everyone.

once you have the new baseband, you can flash any g2x rom in the world and retain the same baseband. think about it. has lg or tmobile released a radio for this phone yet...separately? no. the baseband in the leak was flashed along with the rom. there is no other way to get it other than to go through kdz or lg updater. nandroid cannot and will not ever backup the radio .

I got it about it does not retain it. I was just letting someone know that is a way to retain it.
I'm curious to know does the baseband contain anything that fixes random reboots and other issues that we are not getting in other roms that just came out without it's presence?

The LF updater will only fail you if you can't read. Instructions are clear. Took me all of 30 minutes to update from LG, revert back to froyo [I only wanted the baseband from the update], root and apply a custom GB rom.
I'm pretty sure theres a thread on how to update it with the kdz file.

Use the LG updater. It's the same build and it's really easy. It's not like it's unofficial or anything. It comes from LG's website.
OR flash one of the many gingerbread roms in the dev section.. thats why this forum exists isnt it?
just flash cyanogenmod and be done with it. its a much much better user experience. i even have iphone owners going wow that phone is nice when it comes to responsiveness. i dare anyone to get a iphone owner to say that with stock.

I would do that, as soon as I get the updated baseband from the official update, which seems to fix the gps issues I'm having for some people.

I second this. The latest nightly is very stable, feature rich, and boots in under 10 seconds. Its crazy!
G2X CM7
I just flashed cm7, but I'm back to stock again waiting for the ota. It's incredibly stable compared to some of the nightlies I tried out a month or two ago, but I still have no gps lock. Pretty darn sure at this point its the baseband.
On a side note, has a2dp been fixed on cm? I forgot to check.

Is there an updated "how to install CM7"? I've searched around and keep finding bits and pieces of what I want, but not the whole picture.
I'm on a stock rooted g2x but want to make sure I do this right. I've flashed CWM recovery with NVFlash. Do I need to update with LG tool to get the latest baseband, or do I just flash CM7?

If you want the latest baseband, you have to go through LG's flasher or the OTA update. However, this is not required for CM7. CM7 is happy with either baseband version.

I haven't noticed any improvement from old baseband to new, so just flash CM7 and don't worry about the LG updater tool.
1. Nandroid backup using cwm
2. wipe using cwm
3. flash cm7 (just get the latest nightly: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999)
When you flash subsequent nightlies/RCs of CM7, you can flash right over the previous CM7 flash, just be sure to wipe cache/dalvik cache and do a repair permissions before booting into new CM7 flash. At least that's my little ritual, not sure how much it helps.

I am finaly getting some time to sit down and work see what I want to do with my Infuse. I have been doing a lot of reading and searching. I would love to go back go back to a GB rom. I loved them on my Captivate.
Saw how to get back to stock. Always want to know how to do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
In searching it seems like of I go to a GB rom that I see have the issue with video only shooting at 15fps and the HDMI does not work. I do not think I am finding any that do not have this issue. Am I correct on these finding?
Is this the only major under line problem that is with GB roms? I know every rom is going to have some issues. I really want to make sure I am good with working BT since I live near Chicago and if you talk on the phone you have to have BT or you will get your butt pulled over.
I am happy with the performance of my phone. I am not in great need to OC it. Though I am seeing people getting up to 1.6g.
I am just trying to figure out where to start. I saw a post today about a leaked GB rom for the Infuse but it was closed and the orginal post was removed. I am guessing that it was fake or something was up with it.
The HDMI out is not a huge issue for me. I would like to keep the 30fps. I do not use video that often. But there are time when all of a sudden I need to shoot video and I do not have my normal camera on me. That is where I love my phone.
In short, as of today, on this forum, the answer is no. Gotta wait until AT&T rolls out GB.
OK thanks. Think I might hold off on going to GB for now then. Hope I can hold out. LOL
Actually, there is a deodexed rom in the developement section which is of the new beta gingerbread for AT&T. The kernel that came with the leak supports HDMI out and 30fps. Although, some users report unreliable cell connections or loss of signal.
Search around, you'll find it.
Other than the new UCKI3 leak - nope.
Thank you.
Think I will give it a try.

for hdmi that would work or you can flash the full odex rom in odin that is posted in the general section.
an easy way to flash the ucki3 kernel without odin if you want to do it that way is to flash the deodexed rom then download sgs kernel flasher from the market. download the full odin package to your phone and open kernel flasher. choose the odin package as the kernel. the app is smart. it will find the zimage in there and flsah it.
remember to backup entropy's kernel first. if you need recovery you will need kernel flasher or odin to restore a kernel kernel with working recovery.
i hope we see something with bootloaders soon because without source code im not sure there will be a rainbow fix.
or if you wait an a few ill post the hdmi kernel as a cwm file. i still recommend to have kernel flasher either way. (it flashes cwm packaged kernels as well, even if they are packaged with a rom)

Good news in this particular case - It's next to impossible to accidentally clobber our bootloaders. (Heck, we haven't even successfully flashed Rogers bootloaders onto an AT&T Infuse) Only one Infuse has ever had its bootloaders clobbered, and that was part of a highly dangerous experiment for which the device owner volunteered.
Pretty much for the time being (UCKH1 could change things once someone figures out how that update flashed a bootloader), it's basically impossible to fully brick a device with Odin/Heimdall - or CWM either.

I think this AWESOME guy has insiders, because he's updating us as they get built...
Anyways, I still think it's awesome that we now KNOW we have GB builds.
Also, if you don't mind, can you pull the modem.bin out for me? My internet is being stupid and won't download the file, and I'd really like to see if there's any modem advantages (even though it's only one build difference, it could be different), signal strength, battery life, stuff like that.
This is awesome. Thanks man. I don't know how you're getting these leaks but they're great. Keeps my hopes for an official GB alive.
Man, more stuff for my to-do list... I'll at least do a comparison tonight to see if the modem has changed at all or the initramfs.

Same, I want to see if KI4 is any improvement over KI3.
All you have to do to get a CWM flashable modem is download the package, find the modem.bin file and swap it out with the modem.bin in another modem zip. I'd upload it but I don't know where to upload to. Hope that helps somebody.
It's like Christmas.
So... here's a pic of the speeds (I hate the fact that it's inverted, ugh.... anybody have a link to good ol' ShootMe?) The tests for this rom are the most recent 3. As you can see, there is a noticeable upload speed increase. It is also important that you guys know I kind of wimped out and installed the latest Infused with the modem and such from this ROM, so take that with a grain of salt. Hopefully this helps!
