P990 =/= P999 so don't try any P990 ROMs
Sent from my AOKP G2x
LG has updated the software as of a few days ago. The newest version is LG-P999-V21y and is gingerbread 2.3.4. To update the baseband and all that jazz I believe you have to update it through LG's update software on their website. If you want to do that you would have to install one of the stock roms on the link in my last post, and then go through the LG updater (don't remember what they call it). Hope this helps
---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
and if you don't care about the updated baseband there is a already rooted version of it in the G2x android development section
ok, so then , is there a way to have a stock fw without TMO bloatware?
I know that P999 is P990 with radio to work with TMO AWS network and so on, but is that mean there not "generic" FW?
just compare CDMA "fake" Galaxy Nexus and GSM with yakju rom,
is there something like that for G2X? or it's like that VZW "fake" nexus?

I don't think there is a stock one without the TMO bloatware. You could just root and then use titanium backup to uninstall the bloat. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'll read through the dev section to see if there are any "stock" or close to stock roms.

ignore the p990, as far as you need to know, it is a COMPLETELY different phone. unless you are a developer, you should NEVER use ANYTHING thats made for the p990 on a p999.
the p999 is the t-mobile g2x, the p999 is the phone that you have.
>>if you want a de-bloated version of the stock rom, search the development section.
>>if you want the complete stock rom, search the development section.
>>if you dont know what you want, just read the stickies in the general section.
what I mean is, that P999 has suffixes after the name, like DW, and etc,
what the difference between them?

Definitely wouldn't at this time... I'm sure the partition sizes on the two devices are different, as was the case with the G2 and the Desire Z

I just flashed the P999 AP BIN on my O2X (P990) with SmartFlash for P990 .
Its looking really good. Stock Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) with T-Mobile bloat, but nothing we cant uninstall.
EDIT: It seems I cant connect to my Vodafone network. Everything else seems to be working.
EDIT2: Root is gone. See if Super One Click can bring it back...Yup got root back .

So everything is working apart from the network I.e. phone calls, SMS etc?

can someone explain how to flash the firmware using smartflash? I cant seem to get it working
Hmm, my phone only reads LG-P999-V10f in the Factory Version part of settings. There was a screenshot in an different thread of the Factory Version being LGP999AT-00-v10f-TMO-US-MAR-27-2011. Now this one is LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.
Does that mean there is 3 different versions of the firmware out there? If so I wonder if any have the 850 Band for AT&T available to select?

It is thought that it may take a modified baseband to make them accessible (although one post in the general section sounded like he received a SIM unlock code from TMO and was told to activate it with an AT&T SIM in the device).
Related to that, the flashing of the G2x Firmware on the Ox2 probably screwed up the baseband on it,as they use different bands. Someone on the Ox2 Forum did the reverse - everything worked but the network connections also
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

sais who? And why?
What??
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.
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk
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?
I r n00b.
I have this GT-I5800D. As I understand it, this is a Canadian only model that comes on a plethora of Canadian Networks such as Rogers and Telus.
I have managed to Root my phone with little hassle. My question however, is to use a different ROM do I have to unlock or do anything otherwise special to this phone to use my SIM?
Also, this will be my first attempt at doing anything like this with a cell phone so general pointers would be much appreciated.

No, just go ahead and flash a ROM but be warned that if a ROM is not according to your area, in your case Canada, then you may not be able to make calls etc. I think. Go onto samfirmware and you can find your regional ROM.

You should maybe flash a custom kernel so you can backup your current rom so you can restore it if you are facing problems like not being able to make calls as mentiones by Smonic earlier. Or you can download a stock rom from sammobile.com and have it ready in case you cant make calls etc. I'll pm you the exact link if you need it.

I wanna try out some of the custom roms but my baseband needs to be GB but its only froyo figured it would be easier to upgrade to stock GB and the flash to thaiz any input would be helpful thanks guys

Go there and go to the Australian firmware list get 20B gingerbread and install it via the kdz flash method so that you get the baseband for it. Once you have done that you want to get a pen and write down your vpn settings...
Then just flash any rom and re enter your vpn settings back onto the custom rom and your set...

Basebands can't be flashed via ClockworkMod.
You'll need to flash a gingerbread baseband with the LG Flash Tool.
A guide is HERE.
Once you do that, you can install ClockworkMod after rooting with SuperOneClick.
If you can't root with SOC, then use the Megatron Root in the same thread linked above.
And lastly, once rooted, use Recovery Manager to flash ClockworkMod.
Cheers guys ill gave a play around when i get home see how i get on

I've got a similar problem.. Lucky Aussies.
I've been using 2.3.5, Baseband L6260_Modem_Sic_01.1042.00, Software version LGP920-V21e-Apr-19-2012
The phone gets reception on the highway, but not near the house. My suspicion is that it is connecting to 2G only..
I'm currently testing JellyBam-4.1.0_p920.STABLE.zip...
Great phone, but the lack of support (upgrades) from LG especially in Australia is annoying..
Any great ideas people?
Cheers

What do you mean by "any Tmobile thing"?
If you're saying you want to get as far away from the stock build as possible with all of the bloatware, then I suggest CyanogenMod 7.2. This will give you a nice, clean ROM without any carrier bloat.
If you flash it you will now have a nice tablet with no data of any kind, no longer a phone.
