Thank you for this file. I tried ICS, but I can't manage to receive voicemail notifications, which is pretty annoying. And the carrier name shows "Vid otron". It seems that the ICS notification bar font doesn't support "é" characters. It's kind of weird...
Hey, this is something i've been looking for. Could ya tell me which baseband it upgrades the phone to? Thanks

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.

Last I checked they had it but they won't publish it UNTIL they get a good working stock baseband.
Right now the best bet is to flash the official via the LG updater, then reflash whatever rom you want. It's been tested to work correctly with CM7.

Just do a Nandroid backup of your current config. Restore a stock Nandroid. Update using the LG updater. Then restore your CM7 backup.
Time consuming process but it'd work. You'd be back using your existing CM7 config and the new Baseband.

The zip file provided to flash through CWM is the new leak but the old baseband. The ONLY way to get the new baseband is to flash the leak using the LG Update Tool.

Right...at one point, you updated to GB using the LG updater right? That's why you have the updated baseband. So even after you nvflashed recovery and flashed the rooted GB rom, you kept the updated baseband.
However, if someone that did NOT update with the LG updater flashed that same rooted rom, the phone would have the old baseband.
So those of us that got the newer batch of g2x's (P999DWP) CANNOT get the new baseband by any purpose other than waiting for someone to strip it out and release it as a separate flashable file for us. Then again, prayer might work too. Unless, of course, LG adds the DWP's to the list of elible phones. But it would probably make no sense for them to do that since this was supposed to be a test-build update for a limited selection of testers that had the original P999DW models.

Mine was not written anywhere on the box or the phone itself. In fact, ON the inside of my phone, underneath the battery, it says P999DW. It wasn't until I already reverted to stock, unrooted, restored stock recovery, and ran the LG software updater, that I discovered it read my phone as P999DWP.
With that being said, I had my doubts that I would be able to update anyway, because I know my phone is a newer build than many. My first g2x had a serial number starting with 104, and I know most people here have numbers starting with either 104 or 105...but my new replacement g2x that got here 2 days ago has a serial number starting with 106.
Well, I have confidence in the devs here...and I'm certain good things will come to light soon enough.
Now all we need is that sweet lg camera apk back and more fixes and we are good to go! someone try to get back the lg stock camera!!

This is 100% right. There was a post on the T-Mobile community page for RSA's yesterday. Since I work for T-Mobile i saw this as well. The OTA is v21e so it is the same version as the LG updater.T-Mobile also has it listed that if you do not want to do the OTA, to use the LG updater and update that way. This is a Official msg relased to all t-mobile employe's yesterday.

So all I need to do is keep cwm, restore my stock ROM that I had backed up as soon as I nvflashed cwm, and then I should get an OTA update in which I will then lose root and cwm and be at 2.3.3 stock? Correct?
I'm not seeing the OTA update. It says I have the current version. I restored a backup I made right before I started installing ROMs so my current info is Kernel 2.6.32.9, Software Version V10F, Baseband March 17, and Android 2.2.2. I also restored the stock recovery.
Any ideas? Does the OTA roll out slowly?

I have 2.2 but my baseband version its july 15 .I can't do the update via lg software, it says that im uptodate :/ .. how can I get the old baseband version?
I bought a g2x from craigslist. its brand new but i guess that previous owner has done some update or something now it does not show any baseband version. So my Sim card which i changed to 4g version yesterday does not show any network. my old sim card did not show any network either.

Ohhh, Yeah tried that already. But LG updater says device not supported for update. is there a way to flash the baseband ? I have a feeling that the previous owner flashed a o2x rom or something which changed the baseband. and then he ran the recovery to fix it.
Which model do you have? Check under the battery hood if it's Model 990 or 999. Perhaps it's wrong update for the phone.
Sorry I saw now you said it's 999. If there is no baseband you might have to return it to the Tmo...

Probably didn't flash an O2X rom as that would've changed the partition table and I don't think you can restore the G2X system back to it ... well at least without going to great lengths to fix the partitions.

Try doing the regular nvflash thing root it n flash a rom or stock nanroid maybe that'll bring the baseband back

I don't think it did. Sounds like the guy scammed him. He said he never actually saw it working.

yea thats weird if it was working with his sim , how did u see it with his sim in? cuz let me tell u something an unknown baseband isnt good news, we dont have any flashable basebands yet
I'm sorry. I've tried searching the forum and I can't seem find the following:
Where to download the March 2012 baseband
How to install said baseband
Problems with said baseband and if it's worth installing it if trying to flash a rom that says "March 2012 baseband required"
Please help! Thanks!
Your searching is terrible lol, there is no flashing the baseband you have get the whole rom v21y "upgrade" and then you will have 2.3.4 with March 2012 baseband.
There is a post 2 below yours that has info peoples thoughts on the new baseband as well. You failed hahaha.

This is why I'm confused. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602798 This rom says that it IS the v21y upgrade, but that I still need the March 2012 baseband
It is the update, you can't flash a baseband on the g2x, you need to get the update via OTA or LG tool.

It works with the link provided in the 3rd post of this thread only or the stock unrooted rom it comes with.

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

That's confusing...
To clear things up... you can only update the baseband via LG's update tool.
NO ROM you find here is able to include a baseband of any sorts and the March 2012 bb, as of now, will only give you clear calls while on the stock 2.3.4 ROM.

How could you downgrade your baseband? I used the restore program to revert back to stock ROM and Recovery, but when I rebooted, I still had the new baseband. What's the Baseband release prior to March 2012?

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.

So how does one revert back to July 2011 if someone upgrades to March's bb ?

It can be done, but involves running Windows in admin mode and following some lengthy instructions. I'll try to look up the thread.

Use these instructions and use V21e_00.kdz instead of V21y_00.kdz
