hi guys.
im on v20b using the rom promethius 1.3 kernel v1.2.
i was advised by samno to update my baseband to either v20f or v21e.
i kept on looking here an instruction on how to upgrade baseband only. i was advised again that i can update baseband using bin. can i have a bin file to update baseband and instructions as well.
and also it will be much appreciated if warnings will be given. things to prevent to prevent my phone from getting brick or paper weigh

Once you unlock a phone I don't think you can relock it once again, so no I don't think the phone will re-lock again. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though
Hope this helped!

The phone can be relocked by carrier OTA, but the chances of this being done are zero.
Also to OP. How are you planning on updating your baseband? It cannot be updated except by LG Updater where you flash an entire rom or the KDZ tool, which also requires you to flash an entire rom. Flashing the baseband only is not possible at this time on the P999 version of this phone. Don't use the P990 tool to flash a baseband as the chip is different and you will render your phone a tablet with no radio.

None of the G2X/P999 phone updates will relock it.
The G2X/P999 baseband cannot be changed by itself, it can only be changed by applying the full update which includes the kernel, operating system, baseband, and RIL that is contained in the KDZ file provided by LG or T-Mobile or other cell-phone service provider/carrier and installed through using the official LG Updater or over-the-air (OTA) by T-Mobile, etc. There are posts in the G2X forum with instructions about how to update the G2X/P999, do not use any updater and/or KDZ file for the Optimus 2X/P990. Here's my instructions:

You actually don't have to update the baseband just for that rom there's a zip similar to owains that makes new roms work on the old baseband.... Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714536

New Baseband question (MARCH)

So I've been using G2x with July 15 baseband on canadian mobilicity network(wind variant of g2x)
and it's working pretty good except that MMS doesnt work
However if i want to use new ROMs (Singh UI..etc) I gotta have the new baseband for tmobile...
can I just install the baseband or would it have problem with mobilicity network?
or is it impossible for canadian g2x to get the new baseband update?
thank you

The baseband can't be installed separately with any of the P999 tools and don't use any P990 tools such as smartflash because it will brick your phone's partitions and baseband. The T-Mobile basebands work perfectly on WIND so they should work perfectly on Mobilicity too but you have to flash the .kdz file which will install the baseband, kernel, and ROM then you can install a different kernel and ROM which is compatible with the installed baseband.

No, you can't use CWM to flash the baseband, it won't do it. You must use either the LG updater which won't work for the WIND Optimus 2X because LG didn't supply any updates in Canada or the offline update method for the LG-P999/G2X which will work with a .kdz file.

Did you use the offline update? If you had, that wouldn't have happened because the offline update method uses an http server on your own computer to intercept all of the server communication to the official LG update server and enable updating of the phone which has any version of firmware running on it.
The newset baseband for G2X is 15-3-2012.
I flashed the new March 2012 baseband and now my gps doesn't work anymore. It stays stuck at "searching for gps signal." The thing is I don't remember what I was using before, the March 2012 or July 2011 baseband. I'm assuming July 2011 and the change could've caused this issue. However, shouldn't the new baseband be an improvement on GPS signal and whatnot? Anyways, looking forward to hearing some advice before I try to downgrade back to the March 2011 baseband.

[Q] No 3g After Installing Thiaiz

I installed v21e baseband and Thiaiz over the weekend and I'm really enjoying it, however for some reason I cannot get any 3g connection. My data does work it's just only e or g connection no 3g.
So I reinstalled the official GB update and still have no 3g connection. I believe the problem is with the V21e baseband and not the rom. 3g has not worked since installing V21e on my Rogers LG925. Is there a radio update for Rogers phones? With the Rogers release of GB the ghost calls are brutal so I would rather not go back to using the GB software from Rogers.
I found this thread in the LG Thrill section looks like this user is having the exact same issue.
Any ideas?

ICS working on P920h

I got ICS to work on my P920h (Brazilian carrier - TIM). Here's how:
Download and flash xbsall's ICS using the instructions found here, with the following differences:
On the LG FlashTool Guide link, it says "select only *.bin file" (step 13 from the second post). To make it work on the P920h, you have to select XBSA404_AP.bin from the RAR you just downloaded and V20A_00_LGP920H_CP.fls from the ZIP you can download here.
You can add them both to LG Flash Tool at the same time (in any order). In case it doesn't work, try flashing both of the files from xbsall's RAR and, when completed, flashing just the V20A...fls.
I used the P920h.dll from the page indicated in LG Flash Tool tutorial.
Don't mind the error messages... once you hear the USB disconnected sound from MS Windows, you can detach the cable and turn on your phone.
Thanks to xbsall for porting ICS to P920 and tiagoclc for making the P920h baseband available.
Good luck guys!
According to xbsall, this method will work for rooting. I haven't tried it yet.
Can you please put a walk-through Video. Thanks
I'm from Brazil too, but I have the european version. I got an error when flashing, at about 28%, did yours flash just fine?
Thanks for the heads up. Got it running on my thrill now.... with cell signal... Taking a step down 2 3g put it ok... wifi seem to be real fast... now just need root and cwm... and maybe alittle oc and this phome is golden....

Do you mean the P920 version? Have you used the p920h.dll? If so, maybe that's not the best approach.
Also, I don't know if the Brazilian baseband will work on your device.
Good luck.

HI,
I used the xbsall's .bin and V20A .fls method, didn't worked ... i have the P920H from Vivo - Brazil.

I guess Claro's and TIM's networks use the same frequencies... that's why it worked on my phone (TIM).
Have you booted your phone after flashing xbsall's .fls? Maybe you don't need V20A.
If not, you should try to find a Gingerbread baseband compatible with your carrier, in .fls format.
is the v20A the newest for brazil?
im never sure because of ghostcalls
-> strangely v20A baseband is the only one that gives me 3G here in europe,
but i want to avoid ghostcalls, so, does anybody know, if there are newer basebands for brazil/south-america?
i read somewhere that v20A still had ghostcalls back then...

I've been using this baseband since its release (on Gingerbread), and haven't had any ghost calls since.

Yes, I booted my phone after flashing the xbsall's .fls
I Tried both ways , but none worked for me. I'm getting no signal with xbsall's .fls and 20A .fls ... and my old rom was with 20A from vivo
I am also from Brazil. I installed the ICS ROM but my mobile network Claro works only on 2G. Someone could just install the *. fls? I could not, progress is not moving.
Now i got signal ... but i keep losing it every time.

As it is a beta version, and it was designed for South Korea, we can't guarantee anything. You'll have to try it to see.
I suggest using LGExtract.exe to extract the .fls from a Gingerbread KDZ you know to be working on your phone/carrier (V20A, V21E, whatever). Flash the extracted .fls baseband and see if it works.

Lots of info. on various basebands tested and working in various geographical areas.
A different question for you guys.
I've installed several custom ROMs, all ICS based, and my phone lags quite a lot on nearly all of them, regardless of kernels used, etc.
Did you guys notice any different performance when you flash different basebands? Regarding lag ?

Yes. Between the 2 I have tried so far there is 800 points difference in Antutu scores

Well as an update, the low score remained when I flashed back to the "good" baseband and in fact was the same for all the basebands I flashed. I then lost my IMEI, which seems to have happened to other people, so take care when flashing basebands
FWIW I found 18 to be the best baseband - much faster download speeds than 20a. I found one that gave supercharged upload speed but download speed was poor
