How to get the latest baseband? Anyway?

Hey.
How to get the latest baseband? Anyway?
The new gingerbread came with different baseband, but none of the roms here have it yet....
so I want to know is there some way of getting it onto the gingerbread official rom zip posted here?
I have cm7 now, so I can flash nandroid froyo backup, then do the update via lg website, which will get me the gingerbread and new baseband, and then flash over the gingerbread zip which is rooted over gingerbread previously installed?
Is there an easier way?

wrong forum dude

This goes in q&a.
To answer. Nope. Not yet. Wait till tomorrow. TheDude is supposed to be making a flashable zip
XDA Mobile

Once they fully test it they will release it. Can you imagine hundreds of people blindly flashing bad basebands?

I was asking about this earlier in the q&a forum.
It doesn't seem like its a universal baseband seeing as the update is made only available for the P999DW and not the DWP, so if you have a DWP and flash the DW baseband, you could be in store for some bad times.
Running just the rom right now seems to be just fine on the DWP, for me that is, as always though, ymmv.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but from what I know and have learned, my DW suffered from screen bleed, reboots, freezes, S.O.D., GPS problems, and such, I got the DWP as a replacement and I've had none of those issues yet

We all can flash the new baseband with LG own update tool. Developers are not taking care of us at all as we can flash it.
The only thing that developers are doing it preventing us from having root with it which makes no difference.

New baseband on Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo

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.

I am not sure. I just posted this on the forums because of people wanting the new baseband. I did a backup of it and I will post it if anyone wants to give it a try. Just let me know. Do I need to check with doniqcc before I post it since he is the original creator and I am definitely not trying to step on someones toes. I am in no way shape or form a dev like him I was just trying to help out.

OMG it wouldnt matter.... the radio/baseband is NOT included in a nandroid... anyways... how was the new radio on froyo???

I do not know how it got on there. The way I got it on there was by doing the steps above. I was not trying to achieve anything. I just wanted to flash Eagles Blood Froyo. It was a complete accident I just noticed that it stayed the same after flashing Eagles Blood Froyo.

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 error is a spoof, just reboot, it installed.
With that said, anyone else have screen dim when loading the new LG Camera. When I pull battery and reboot the dimmed screen goes away, any other work around, as I hate pulling the damn battery.

Is there an easy way to root the official OTA? I want to remove some bloatware and flash the LG cam. The reason I'm on the stock official is because of the baseband which made a huge difference for me (and as far as I know, there's no other way to get it)
Thanks in advance

hmm.... It gets stuck at step 5...

See post 4 above. Xboarder provider rooted v21e OTA, you can flash over the LG update. It will preserve the baseband. Then simply flash the LG Camera.
Xboarder also provided a bloat remover.zip that you can apply that removes all the TMobile bloat. It could not be simpler.

If I understand correctly, this will replace the Gingerbread camera with the Froyo camera. It doesn't sound like it's possible to have both on the phone at the same time -- is that right?
The reason I ask is that I'm really much happier with the way the Gingerbread camera works with the flash; the Froyo camera generally overexposed nearby things, but the new camera does a good job of regulating the flash and shutter. I'd like to have all the bells and whistles (that I haven't needed yet but might be handy someday) from the Froyo camera, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the improvement in flash photos (which is something I do pretty often).

Nandroid backup, update your baseband with any of the guides or the one i have, check my signature, and then provide support for the new baseband to that rom if it does not have it. There is also a guide for this on my signature.

If I do this, then I would have to start with a fresh ROM install correct? When you restore the Nandroid, doesn't that restore the BB also?

Backup your current ROM restore a stock based ROM use the LG update tool to update the baseband, reflash CWM then restore your backup of HFP. Restores don't change baseband you need to use your computer to baseband (LG tool for updating/KDZ method)

What is VRALI5.rpm.zip?

Is this the JB modem or something else? I'm not sure if should i install it with the jelly bean leak.

Seems like it. I flashed the one from invisiblek's modem thread with the filename VRLI5.modem.zip and it's working fine for me.
EDIT: Never mind, that's not the modem. According to this post it seems to be related to power management. I never flashed it, unless it was included with the modem zip.

Here's a couple posts I found earlier today about rpm:

and this latter one is more descriptive about what changes with OTA's and apparently only the rpm is of consequence...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32538851&postcount=3532
and finalement, here's a post with the JB leak's rpm:

I'm still new to Samsung, so someone correct me if I'm way off-base, but the gist I got was that when a new rom (or leak) comes from verizon, it includes rom+kernel+rpm+modem... which on an HTC device we called rom+kernel+firmware+radio. So my understanding is that if you just flash the new radios without the new firmware that matches up with what your dev used as a base, there could be compatibility issues.
(Much more knowledgeable people discussed this in the Cleanrom thread as in those links above).

i understand all of that...just trying to figure out what exactly is rpm. thx !

In simple terms if I understand correctly it installs files that you don't get in flashing a ROM. Gives you an option if you don't want to go back to stock via Odin and OTA back up to current version.

If you Odin to a prior version of stock, it should be included in the zip which simultaneously changes the modem. The reason an rpm is being discussed is because when flashing custom roms and modems, this isn't updated. Think of an Odin flash of older images as "reversing an update," all those same files are added when you accept an OTA, so they'll be changed if you Odin an older stock image.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly redact my comment but that's what I understand from this discussion.

Thanks, it's starting to make more sense to me. I'm not unfamiliar with root but typically only do so to eliminate bloat, otherwise I'm happy with stock builds. The JB leak changed things a little so I want to get a better handle on what I'm installing and why.

Why can't this just be simple.....I just want a good stable everything and then leave it alone.....Will that ever happen?

flash back to stock and leave your device alone...pretty simple.

So if we revert to a ROM backup, do we need to manually turn back the rpm as well, like we do with the modem? Sounds like we need vrali5 for jb leak. I will play around with jb for awhile though go back to ICS for everyday stability use, until I find a jb I like. Do I need to revert the rpm when I restore ICS? Where do I find older rpms. Thanks.
