Has anyone tried to flash back to their old froyo rom then update to the new gb version? Itried but no go it says that I have the lates version it. It must be picking up on something deep in the hardware maybe because of the baseband anyone got any ideas ?
You cannot do it as the tool checks the baseband to see what update to give you. If you have the new baseband no update for you via the updater.
Dunno. The updater on the PC told me it could update my phone when I checked with Tsugi installed. Was afraid to actually let it run though as i did not want to risk creating a brick.

As stated, does not matter which rom you have, it looks at the baseband. If you already have the July baseband it will not resend the update. You can not change the baseband by flashing a rom.

Odd. I have July baseband, and it scanned the phone and said that it had a newer version to install, when I stopped it because I did not want a brick. I am not saying that they are actually pushing a newer version... I'm saying maybe the update tool itself has changed and/or is willing to update the Rom based on different criteria - perhaps since it does not recognize the L95G firmware which is what I'm using, for example?

Yes the L95G would have a different Baseband.

Custom roms for the G2X don't touch the baseband, so even if thats true its a moot point.

The actual L95G device, which has never been released, does have a different baseband. But P999 roms based on the L95G rom have whatever baseband that was on the phone when the rom was flashed. Either March or July baseband.

I downloaded the leak a couple weeks ago and my baseband Number matches but my software shows 1.12.605.6. Is this right? Isn't the software version that was released today 1.13.605.7?

Cool! Pardon my Newbness when it comes to the HTC world. ( came from Moto). So if I install the update in FBOOT I would just rename the update and put it on the SD card and let FBOOT do all the magic? Also will it wipe data?
Just a thought here... i updated weeks ago with the leaked ruu and if i check "about" software, it says .7. My girlfriends phone says the same. Both rooted and running different roms and kernels. how does that happen? Lol.

I may not be correct, but I think the rom devs use certain software in each of their roms. So some roms are based off the .7 and others are still based off the .6
So if you and your girlfriend both have the .7, its because both roms are based off that.

If you have flashed leaked baseband "LGP920AT-00-V18a-AMA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0_CP.fls" it is recommended to flash new v21a.kdz rom(kdz include new European baseband) or wait for new baseband in *.fls file

Beacuse if somebody waiting for Custom Rom (GB) and do not flash v21a.kdz , They stay with old baseband.

Well, i am just saying that because you forgot to mention that they lose root by doing so. The question is if it is easy enough to root it with the latest LG firmware since that is not automatically the case.
and also... noone has confirmed any change between the leaked baseband and the v21a. As far as i'm concerned it's just a matter of 0 and 1. Either u got signal or you don't. But correct me if im wrong

Baseband effects all radio services quality AFAIK. And there are some feedbacks that new baseband provides better signal strenght etc.
Can't somebody "rip" the new baseband and post it? My phone drops connection once in a while since flashing the leaked.

Would also like to know if we can just flash the baseband, Im quite happy with my ROM as it is with the leaked version but I would like to get this improved baseband.
Would that be possible to get the baseband from that?

While on XP I've used that .kdz file with the flasher/updater from KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z to flash my secondary G2x, you also need to have the APX driver installed from One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar. I've also reverted back to the original recovery before attempting the kdz flash. Once done with it, I had the Videotron branded android and the baseband with OCT 24 2011 date. I tried a simple mobile sim card with it. After adding an APN, the data seemed to work. I was able to receive a call from my other phone. Then, I've flashed the CM recovery (as it was back to stock) using nvflash and then from the CM recovery I've flashed Owain's ICS on it.
I also have a copy of the files that .kdz unpacked (though I'm not sure if its complete).
That's about it.
Oh, yeah, before I had JUL 15 2011 baseband after the GB upgrade.
Also take a look at this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
To use the KDZ_FW_UPD you need to disconnect the phone from usb, remove the battery, hold the Vol down button while plugging-in the USB cable. This will force the S/W Update screen on the phone, and the tool will work.
I also reflashed V21E_00.01.kdz with that KDZ_FW_UPD tool and the baseband went back to JUL 15 2011.
Awesome!

Just to simplify things, the thread I've pointe to has all the tools/drivers. But it is a bit murky about the flashing process.
As long as you are on the stock recovery, it should be possible to just remove the battery, unplug the usb, push and hold Vol down and plug back the usb. At that point the S/W Upgrade screen should show up and KDZ_FW_UPD tool should be able to pick up your phone and apply the .kdz

Before flashing do a backup with CWM. Then flash the Videotron KDZ file. After verifying if the SMS issue is fixed you can reflash CWM and then flash back the CWM backup to got back to T-Mobile Gingerbread. No reason to reflash a KDZ as this is the latest baseband available for the P999. I might do it to mine just to get the new baseband. I moved on to another phone due to band issues (needed 850 3G support for a carrier here in Thailand) but I have not gotten around to selling my G2X yet.
You saying to do a backup of any rom or flash back to 2.3.3 ota version? I assume any rom, which isn't an issue as I have about 10 on my PC lol...

Whatver your current rom is if you want to go back to your phone how it is. The sms problem is not in the rom so restoring the rom won't change anything if updating with the patched baseband fixes the issue. All you care about is getting the new baseband. Up to you if you want to restore current rom or flash something else.

It doesnt apply to any rom. It only applies to roms that has been built with the baseband. If you update your baseband and try to install an ICS/gingerbread rom thats not made on that baseband, you will get static sound when trying to make a call

If you are asking whether its worth trying to upgrade or not. Its a balancing act. You lose ICS sweetness, rather everyother custom ROm beside kwes1020 rooted rom but you gain better GPS lock, longer battery and better signal with the update.

Nah, you have to use LG's software update tool. You need to be running stock in order to do so. I'd hook you up with a link but unfortunately I'm a new kid on the block. Just do a search and you'll find it with ease.

You can indeed upgrade to the new baseband and then root. Some ROMs will be baked to be able to handle it while others will require you to just flash Owain's fix.
