As michael.usavage noticed, T-Mobile will soon be pushing V21Y as an OTA update. Please use this thread to keep track of experiences with the OTA update. (i.e. reports of anyone getting a message that an update is available, experiences flashing, etc) Note: You need to be on the stock firmware to get the OTA update.
Different than tthe one I manually updated to. A couple days ago?

That is a good question. We will only know when the files in the two V21Y .kdz files are compared. I tried to access the V21Y .kdz again from LG's server http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP999DW/ATMODW/V21y_00/V21Y_00.kdz but I got this:

I'm sure it is too early but the software update check button still displays back the up-to-date status message from the server for me. I'm stock V21e.

Correct, until the alternative ROMs are updated to support the new baseband, you won't be able to use them and still make phone calls.
If roms update to new Baseband will we have to or will we still be able to use them with v21e? I will not have access to a computer for awhile to do update

You should get stock recovery and be on stock rom in order to update.

This is completely unnecessary. Just load up your stock rom/nandroid and run the update. CWM will be wiped regardless.

The OTA is being released slowly with a new batch getting it each night during the next 2 weeks. Give it time.

Funny that people were saying we'd never see another update for the G2X since it had been EOL'ed. Then, when V21Y appeared, people started saying we'd never see it pushed out as an OTA. Just goes to show that nobody knows what they're talking about.
I'm glad that LG finally stepped up to the plate and delivered a usable stock Gingerbread ROM, although I'm not sure I should be too congratulatory considering this is the ROM the G2X should have launched with. One can only hope that the G2X does receive an ICS update.

Say the G2X won't get ICS and, according to you, it will. Consequently, the G2X won't get ICS.

No that's not what he's saying. It's that nobody here has any information to make a decision, so anything regarding future updates is pure speculation.

The link GTWalling has shared also has some release notes. After updating myself using the kdz, I can definitely attest to the improvement in GPS performance. Dramatically better. I now lock instantly and generally stay locked. I had lots of GPS difficulty in the past using nearly all the ROMs available through XDA including 2.3.3 roms, CM7 roms, CM9/AOKP roms, and P95/2.3.4 (Tsugi). I had also tried various regional GPS.conf hacks. While I miss some of the features of the custom ROMS, a working GPS is far more useful to me. Plus, my money is on Kwes to release a 2.3.4 stock based ROM!

That's good to hear. I've hated the GPS on this phone, I exchanged it twice with T-Mobile hoping to get a phone with a decent GPS. I considered going for a third exchange within 30 days or whatever the time-frame is to get a different model as a replacement, but none of the phones at that time impressed me. So I've been biding my time waiting for T-Mobile to get a good phone that I could upgrade too. If this baseband does the trick, then I won't feel so bad about waiting a while longer for an upgrade.

I have a T-Mobile Update Service notification in my notifications bar. Did we just get Gingerbread? Or is this an update to my ROM (GingerClone)?
Anyone got info on it? Is it safe to update OTA while on a custom ROM?
--
Sent from Sidekick
I don't think it would be safe to update while on a custom rom. Since it's an update it would need the original rom to update from. But I'm very curious as to what it is. If it's got fixes and optimization then maybe we could build new or better pre-existing custom roms using the new tweaks.
We need someone to be a guinea pig, lol. I don't have enough experience to odin and recover from anything severe, should anything happen.
I'm odining back to stock to try to update now, and yes, you can't update with a custom rom. you must be completely stock to update. so i'll test it and post instructions.
EDIT: http://support.t-mobile.com/message/6140#6140
According to this, this update is just a bugfix, not gingerbread.
An Over the Air software update for the Sidekick 4G will be pushed to customers beginning the night of July 21.. This software update will be delivered in staggered waves, with several thousand customers receiving it each night over the next several days.
The OTA updates the software version to version T839UVKG2. This is not an operating system upgrade to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). This maintenance release includes various bug fixes and enhancements based on customer feedback.
Accept and install the update as it includes many important fixes that will improve your experience with this device.

That's just where the update downloads from T-mobile. It will be a regular update.zip when it is posted.

After a not-so-smooth attempt at rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread for T-Mobile G2X users, experience-breaking bugs ran rampant throughout users’ phones prompting T-Mobile and LG to suspend updates. It took quite a while for them to get things ironed out, actually, as I almost forgot that the T-Mobile G2x even exists. In any case, the Gingerbread rollout is back on for those who are sick of frozen treats. Alongside Gingerbread, you’re also apparently getting improved battery life for your troubles. Yay! Get to the link ahead for the full instructions from LG. [LG via Droid Dog]
As of December 5, T-Mobile will restart the rollout of the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Over-The-Air (OTA) update!
If you would like to update your software before receiving the OTA, please visit the LG website (link to: http://wwwstg.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp) to update your device today.
The G2x Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update includes the following benefits:
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS
Improved battery life
Improved front-facing camera operation when using Qik record and share
Improved disabling of Car Home
Helps address unexpected reboots

It doesnt make sence why would they just stop only to start the same garbage update again? They have to have fixed it some. Maybe it is still 2.3.3 but its gotta be different. I would have hoped that they would roll out the 2.3.4 that they used in italy for the o2x. At the very least they should have fixed the stupid camera. I could be wrong but it just doesnt make any sence to me

So I ask, Did you get the OTA? When?
I saw in the other post about the update that someone had it waiting for them Monday morning so I guess that means it wasn't withdrawn as of yesterday?
I never got it, either.

And isn't the consensus that the OTA goes more smoothly than through LG?
Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server
Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?

This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat
How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182 . This is a upgrade through kies for ICS. Same current baseband as we have now, but there saying it offers security improvements. Hopefully this is a small upgrade before Jelly Bean. If and when that happened we could update our blobs and most certainly run any AOSP 4.2.2 Rom.:good::fingers-crossed:
Android version 4.0.4 / Baseband version T769UVMB1 - Current ICS version
Version
Android version 4.0.4 / Baseband version T769UVMB1
Approved 02/15/2013
OTA and Manual (via Samsung Kies) update available 2/22/2013
Improvements
Security enhancements
Prerequisites
Android version 4.0.4 / Baseband version T769UVLH5
Device software is not rooted
Below is a method for Rooted devices only via Recovery

I don't see why not. The Blaze was released in March of 2012. The T989 also a Tmobile branded phone is running Jelly Bean and its older than our model. Presumably based on little differences and what nots it only makes sense for them to give the update. They are still marketing and selling the device so, yeah.(Hopefully)

I just checked... it isn't available via Kies (for me anyway). I'm sure someone else will get to it first but if not I'll get some flashable options together once I get my hands on it.
And if ever there was an excuse to update tweaked... here it is lol. Methinks this will be some work.

No requests, but if you or anybody could make something like ericmm did with ICS root, that would be awesome.
But shouldn't we be getting jelly bean because of that 18 month rule? I always wondered about that

Yep, shouldn't be an issue - I'll check again tonight, and like I said if no one else gets to it by the time I get my hands on it I'll post some stuff.
If I'm reading this right, the update to the new baseband is OTA if you are running non-rooted UVLH5 stock. There's nothing on samfirmware.com for this update to be available via KIES, so I would think that it's just OTA - that and it's only a 20 MB download. I'm going to go back to stock to see if this is OTA only and post my findings...
Nope. No OTA or KIES update available for me.

My interpretation of the T-Mobile info was that it was either - but you are right that it's not available via KIES currently so I could be wrong lol! No OTA has been pushed to the wifes phone yet, but that doesn't mean much for others of course.

It's just so weird to see it on Tmo but not on samfirmware. But yeah it says both... but I remember when ICS dropped it was on samfirmware almost immediately after release... could be because the ICS update was kies only... I'm not getting any OTA notification so... what gives..?

Yeah I'm not sure... the whole thing feels sort of odd really. Nothing yet here, hopefully it gets sorted out.
Oh yeah, congrats btw on your soon-to-be fun
Maybe its based on region. Any west coast or Midwest users out there? It would be nice to confirm one user that has upgraded.
Edit: did you guys try updating or uninstall reinstall kies? I know its been updated since the last time I used it.

I didn't have kies installed until today, so no go there... but yeah it would be great to confirm one update has been pushed out.
