after you have the 2.3.3 rom you have to go to tmobiles website and use the lg update tool
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp

i used this thread. the download Rom link is a stock 2.3.3 rom. if you have already installed the driver to your PC you can skip those steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
when you have that stock rom use nvflash to put the stock recovery back on your phone. reboot your phone and go to system settings/about phone and you will see software update (or something similar), do that and it will update your phone to 2.3.4 and the new baseband
Oh yeah thanks for adding the Nvflash part totally forgot about it

This will restore the md5sum in nandroid.md5.
Try and redownload it maybe

are you trying to flash the zip from the link i posted? if so, it doesnt work that way
it works like nvflash. you unzip the file into a directory on your pc. pull the battery from your phone and hold down the up and down volume buttons then plug in your usb cable, then in that folder there is a flash.bat file double click that to run it. when it is finished, pull the usb cable and putt the battery back in a boot your phone

on your pc. it works like nvflash does. you dont copy it to your phone at all. the batch file will do all the work. it will put your phone to stock 2.3.3, then you put a stock recovery on it (again using nvflash) and then you can do an over the air update to get the new baseband and be updated to 2.3.4

oops my mistake, im very sorry. you are right. im getting threads mixed up
this will put a stock rom on your phone so that you can do an over the air update to get the new BB and 2.3.4

if you flash this rom to your phone and then flash the stock recovery , then you can get the update over the air. go to system settings/about phone and you will see a menu item called software update (or something similar), click that and it will download the update to your phone. its only like 30 meg, but it will update the 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and install the new baseband

Looking for the stock AT&T update.zip file. I did search, but now luck. Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I just need the update.zip file. Thanks anyway.
No problem. That was the closest thing I could find. Best of luck with whatever you are doing.
Are you talking about the update.zip file to root your device? I have that.
No, the stock update.zip file. I am running stock and tried to run the restore and it said the file is missing. I was going to put it back on and try and run it again. I've been having trouble powering on. I can only power on if I have it plugged up.
AT&T is sending me a new phone, but I just wanted to try and restore it for giggles and also to make sure my data is gone.
??
there isnt a stock update.zip........
The phone says that update.zip cannot be found on the sd card when I try to restore. I'm running stock on it. It may be that its just fried. Once it boots up it seems to run ok. I just got the new one from AT&T and going to send the old one in in the morn. Just wanted to try one last fix because everything worked great the past few days, even the gps was working better. I guess I will see how the new one does.

i dont think anyone here has any idea what you are talking about.
the stock phone doesnt have an update.zip on it. reinstall packages in system recovery doesnt mean it reinstalls stuff you removed from the OS. it allows you to flash zip files created for things like clockwork mod recovery and rooting on the 2.1....

There is no update.zip for stock firmware. Reinstall package in recovery mode is for flashing ROM updates and other stuff. If you delete something from stock ROM or messed up, there is no way to get it back or restore other than flash the stock ROM via ODIN3 and load stock firmware file.

I think you're confused with the JH7 update.zip that DG releases. It is not a recovery package zip OP like to have. You have to install CWM in order to flash this zip file.
What the OP doesn't exist. For the Captivate there are two options unless a developer creates another one:
1)Odin One click to I897UCJF6
2)ZIP of th I897UCJH7 firmware

I would advise you use the ODIN 1 Click to resolve any issue your having. I made a video on how to do this in my video archive thread...

Ya I downloaded it and everything and tried different ways and it wont let restore, just says md5 sums mismatched tried 2 sdcards and downloading them in root of sd card and directly in the CWM/restore folder. still a no go, but I can restore other backups and flsh roms. just not the one i need.
Probably won't get to it till thursday or so, but im going to try and go back to completely stock, reroot, reflash cwr, flash cm7. Otherwise im getting a replacement...
Ps
The dl posted in another thread for me failed as well. I also had an intense the other day where all my partitions were completely wiped. It took 3 hours to finally get nv flash to flash cwr and flash a rom.

Ok if anyone is still having problems, id like to mention that I exchanged my 5 year old 2g simcard yesterday for a new one, and bought a new 16gb class 4 sandisk sdcard, and EVERYTHING is working great! so far maybe only 2 or 3 occurrences of data loss, easily corrected with a battery pull. And I borked some lib files trying to get the camcorder to work. So I installed the kanged version update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-G2x-KANG-signed.zip overtop of my build to get the rom to boot again, and now the camcorder works! Maybe only about 15fps but works nonetheless...

Using the update.zip method is for an old version of CWM - get yourself the .tar located here and use odin to flash it, you'll never need an update.zip (you'll boot directly to red CWM instead of stock blue recovery)

The next in the series of Odin flashable files, here's drhonk's Bali kernel for the SGS4G in an Odin flashable format! No more having to mess with pushing a custom recovery file to /system, as long as you have a Windows PC with Odin on it you'll be good to go.
FEATURES
Roots your phone
Installs ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM/CWR)
The UV kernel gives you more freedom for overclock settings.
NOTES
This is for FROYO ONLY versions 2.2.x only, NOT 2.3.x
Comes in 2 flavors, UV which is undervolted, and regular.
Please read drhonk's original thread for features and usage.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the file to your Windows PC
2) Extract the 7-Zip file using a compatible program, such as 7-Zip
3) Load up the file in Odin, putting it in the PDA section
4) Flash
5) Success!
ODIN
Learn how to flash files with Odin using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
All files go into the PDA section of Odin. Your Odin screen should look like this:
KERNELS
bali3.3UV.7z
bali3.3.7z
CREDITS
Kernels taken from drhonk's thread
Gingerbread 2.3.4 compatible? Specifically the samfirmware one.

Nope, for Froyo only. There's no Bali for Gingerbread yet, but drhonk posted his custom GB Kernel here:

Thanks for your work! Flashing from Froyo is gonna be much easier now. It was so time consuming to root, go through the market for a root explorer, and then push the files manually! :O

You will not lose your data with just flashing a kernel, but once you flash a new ROM, you will. Make sure you do a back up of your current ROM before you mess with anything.

Sorry for the noob questions, I'm used to a vibrant so this is all different to me. Just to be clear about what this does....basically it just roots the phone and adds cwm, but does not change anything about the phone other than that or wipe settings/ data?
I'm using a mac that I have parallels with xp on. Would this work that way? I had trouble trying to root before on parallels with superoneclick...the file just wouldn't run. Also, i'm assuming the phone needs to be in download mode for this to work?
Thanks.
You will not lose data. Yes, it gives you root and cwm. Yes, you have to be in download mode.
Are you dual booting or running vmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i'm not exactly sure, i'm running parallels within osx so I think that would qualify as a virtual machine...I don't know what you mean by dual booting
Well, i've tried it in parallels and no luck. Odin opens fine and loads up the tar file. However it never recognizes the phone. I have the correct samsung drivers installed and windows recognizes that the phone is plugged in, it just doesn't make it into odin. It seems that there is just no way for me to root this phone with a mac, and unfortunately i don't know anybody with a pc. Oh how I wish somebody could make an app for the market that would root just like the vibrant...... it was sooo easy with that phone.....oh well
Well this isn't a vibrant, so I will end that argument there.
Are you in download mode when connecting to Odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Why not give heimdall a try. You can flash bali through odin and you'll get your phone rooted and get cwm installed.

yes, I am in download mode, it just doesn't show up. I've heard that odin can be picky about usb issues, so perhaps there are too many factors at play between the mac and windows interface for it.....I don't know. And, I'm definitely not trying to start a vibrant vs 4g argument, i understand that they are very different. I'm just frustrated that i'm having such a hard time rooting this phone.
I've never tried heimdall, is it a vm as well....similar to parallells?
Thanks for taking time to read this and give advice btw....it really is appreciated regardless of whether I get this working or not.
Heimdall is a flashing program for windows/mac/linux. The author of it reverse engineered Odin's file transfer protocol and made that program available for free.
SO Im trying to root and flash cwm 5 on my phone..I installed nvidia driver correctly but when I try to flash cwm 5 on the command it flashes flash.bin but bootloader fails everytime..Hence why I don't see sw upgrading etcc..Any way to fix this or install some other way?

Have you tried flashing 2.3.3 via nvflash? If not, I'd say give that a try then try to flash CWM again, make sure you follow the instructions carefully. I, as well as many other G2x users I'm sure, have had issues just because we missed a step or two in the flashing process.
Yeah that's the one I was referring I seem to do everything just on that blue command it says bootloader fails..and nothing comes up on my phone ;(
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I'm sorry if I'm being a little thickheaded here but you said you tried to flash CWM via nvflash and it failed, are you also saying you tried to flash the 2.3.3 rom via nvflash from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 and it failed as well?
Edit: could you post a picture of the screen on your computer after you run nvflash, or just more info on what error it's giving you exactly?
0No I never try to flash any rom,I just wanted to flash cwm..well I'm picking cwm 5 on one click then the command comes in and it says bootloader failed press Any key to continue and then it leaves.
I know how to use cwm I hacked the galaxy and the Mytouch but this is giving me problems!! Need help
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
So follow the instructions on the thread from the link i posted above. If it doesn't work then you probably didn't install the APX drivers properly, so uninstall everything phone related off your computer and start from scratch, that should do it.
If it does work try to flash CWM after, hopefully it'll work.
You could also try to flash CWM 4.0.1.5 from nvflash if you haven't already, maybe the CWM 5 file is corrupt
True ill give that a try,thanks man
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
no problem, i hope it works, good luck
WORKED YAY turns out all I had to do was go for the the cwm lower version..the command color is blue in the other one..thanks once again..Now I want yo install cyanogen I read you need to match baseband and ril first time I ever heard about that..How can I go about this..also read there's an app that helps
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Go to the market and search for "getril "... install it. Then open the app... allow the super user request if prompted. .. then the app will check your baseband and your Ril. Just below that it will have a button you can press to update your ril to match your baseband... press it... there ya go ... all done .... let us know how it worked for ya.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
It did thanks mate,running cyanogen,so for every rom use get ril I guess?
Any suggestion on good Roms,Hows the state of ics buggy,camera??
Because I know for the Mytouch 4g the camera and such were still a bit behind.because no official cm9 yet
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
You'll still have service whether you use getril or not, but it's always safer to do it.
Last time I tried ICS it was fairly smooth, not as much as I'd like though. Camera works but not for video recording. There's a few other bugs as well.
I've tried pretty much every rom and kernel in the dev section.
My favorite kernel is Morfic's, I usually go for the elp version for better battery life.
As for roms EaglesBlood, HellFire Phoenix, stock MIUI w/ trinity kernel, Bionix Reloaded, and Weapon G2x all worked very well for me.
My favorites though are EaglesBlood and HellFire Phoenix of course
Yes I plan to use all those Roms
I'm all set to go!
