I'm keeping a separate thread because this is an updated version and we might have different bugs and fixes.
If you are unfamiliar with the Gingerbread update and what this means to the phone, please read this FAQ. An updated FAQ will be posted here once we know more about the firmware.
Both XX and Only 11 days between the build dates - Let hope that they were a very productive 11 days. I'll update this post with highlights from Build properties shortly.

I did a quick test with the camera, market place, wifi and no errors. I never experienced SOD with the earlier GB rom so i guess I didn't experience it here as well.
Nevertheless, I'm flashing back to Froyo and I'll just wait for the official samsung release. I've wasted too much time already reinstalling things...

then why didn't you use titanium backup or other backup tool for backup all your applications and restore them after ROM flashing?
it's a "must" tool for custom ROM freak.

Does anybody plan on posting the new baseband/radio or do we have to use that dangereous LG tool? Thanks in advance peeps!
as of right now, the only way to get it is through lg updater or flashing the kdz file.
Wheres kdz file?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
here's the kdz file
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP999DW/ATMODW/V21e_00/V21E_00.kdz
and here's the kdz flasher
http://www.mediafire.com/?3hd4ao113lx8gq4
Given how smoothly this went for me I have to wonder about the "dangerous" LG tool. Really think this might be user error in most cases.
Flashing kdz will update only baseband? so no need to restore back to stock?
that's what im trying to figure out... is that just for baseband? lose root?
I will be pumped if it is just this easy!
Sent from my butt using XDA Premium App
The kdz updater will put the entire gingerbread update, including the new baseband on your phone. So yes, you will want to be reverted to stock, unrooted, with stock recovery.
At that point, you can nvflash cwm and flash either of the pre-rooted 2.3.3 roms, or from what other's have reported, you could even flash either a froyo based rom like EB froyo 1.05, or a CM7 rom. I suppose you could nandroid your existing configuration right back over the updated baseband, and have the features you're used to using right now, with the added benefit of the new baseband.
But I'm not sure if the instant GPS lock is a function of the new baseband, or if it's rom-specific...anyone know?

I would be very grateful if someone could explain me how do I flash the KDZ file? Do I need to revert first to stock or can I do it right from my EB1.05 Froyo? I suppose I need to install first this KDZ flasher? I have never done this, so I don't know...
Much appreciated.

It seems to be the new baseband. I'm running a cm7 based rom with the new baseband and I'm still getting the instant GPS locks.
XDA Mobile
i used lg update tool to update last night... in under 10 minutes.. easy and painless... i got the new baseband now... i instantly put cm7 back on using nvflash flashing cwm... so do it if your rooted.. i wouldnt if i wasnt.. possible brick... rooted u can fix anything...
Do I need to go to unrooted stock before I flash this kdz? If so how do I root again as I have read that you cannot root with superoneclick

Follow these instructions step by step and you can update the baseband and then flash/nandroid any rom you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15949846&postcount=37
And the directions for using the KDZ tool is provided by the OP of that thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183168
Hope this helps.
edit: Of course, you realize that flashing roms is at your own risk, and although many of us have found froyo and CM7 based roms to be compatible with the new baseband, our evidence is anecdotal at best.
I updated using the lg update tool with no issues. Took about 10 min.

You can use the kdz tool for either. You will have to download the tool, follow the directions, and download the actual update in kdz format... All in the links provided.

I'm fairly positive GPS locking has nothing to do with the baseband. At least, from what I know.

i traded my samsung galaxy s 4g phone for a g2x and the g2x is flashed and rooted. now there are a few problems with it. one manger one is that there is no market/play store icon anywhere im running on 2.3.7 model number is LG-P999
kernel version is 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected] and mod version is cyanogenmod-eaglesblood_build-2.8 now im not sure if everything is up to date. figured if someone can help me with this.
For the market and other apparently missing. You need to download the latest Google apps. The link is on some of the android development pages. I would look but iI'm on my phone.e
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Go to eagles blood ROM 2.8 GB in Android development. Read thru it to get your gapps.
Using your phone , go to eagles blood website.
www.eaglesblood.com
Click on the download tab and select the phone that is P999... at the bottom of that page is the gapps download link.
Once you have downloaded Google apps, you can then install it using CWM. If you need more detailed instructions, they have them posted on their website. If you need more help , just ask. This is a pretty friendly forum.
Don't quote me. I'm probably wrong.

Go on cyanogenmod's website. They'll have flashable zips if you prefer to go that way.
LG and T-Mobile will be pushing the V21y baseband update over the air, so you'll be able to get it by going into the software update menu in Settings> About phone. This was posted in another thread about the updates - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362

No, the latest is March 2012 baseband but then you can't use any other custom ROM with that baseband so in a way you are up to date.

Its on you.
If you want a stock rom with newer baseband. Update
If you are a flash addict, keep what you have for now. Eventually T mobile will be doing OTA updates in coming weeks
P.S: Start thanking ppl, for a change, whoever helped you in this thread. Its not nice to ask help and not hit the thanks button. ^_^ Just saying.

what about CyanogenMod 7? its what im using right now.
No go. You will be able to use it but your calling feature will be abnormal. That is static sound when you call or when some1 calls you. Basically defeats the purpose of having a phone.
Has anyone been able to use another rom with the V21y baseband?

Yes you can flash any ROM, but you won't be able to talk to people through a call. You'll just hear static or something.
