I currently have a US wifi only xoom, rooted and running tiamat v1.3.0 and clockwork recovery. I wanna update to honeycomb 3.1 manually, but do I need to go to the newest version of tiamat b4 I do the HC3.1 update? Or does it really matter if I don't?

No need to update anything if you're already rooted. Just follow BRD's guide and you'll be good to go.
I bought this g2x and it came with cryogen installed. I just want stock Gingerbread installed so I used what I thought was a stock OS. It says I'm using 2.2.2, and I have a horrible issue with my wifi. What's the current version available?

Current stock version is 2.3.3
CM never had a 2.2.2... sounds like the original stock Froyo rom.
Easy enough to fix. NVFlash using the easy nvflasher app available in the development section and download your favorite rom. CM has a stable CM7.1.0.1 available. I use MIUI w/ fauxs 4.3 Kernel.
Weapon makes a nice stock-like solid build.
G2x - Latest MIUI w Faux Kernel
Transformer - Latest Revolver w OC/UV Kernel

cryogen Cyanogen will cry reading this.
How did it come with Cyanogen? Did you buy it from friend or ebay?
If you are back on stock 2.2.2 and you have the baseband dated March, you can use the LG Updater to update to GB and get the new baseband. It is the new baseband that will fix your wifi issues. You can download the LG Updater from the link below. Make sure you read the posts on this forum regarding the updater. If you don't do it right you can mess up your phone; but if you follow the instructions exactly, turn off firewall and anti-virus, unplug other usb devices, etc. you should be fine. Install the USB drivers from the Updater program to make sure you have the latest USB drivers.

In store they are doing upgrades on the mezmerize to 2.3.5...waiting to get mine done...

yep, got mine updated the other day! 2.3.5 is nice and im rooted
Was gb (2.3.4) already rooted before the update? Did you lose anything?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
when i upgraded to 2.3.5 from 2.3.4 i was rooted and lost the root and apps. but you can get it back the same way you root 2.3.4.
then the device was having problems so i called the tech support and the guy there (Alan) told me that the up date was made for a tablet. so i re-installed the 2.3.4, rooted and went custom.
You don't have to go to a store to get 2.3.5. Go to rootzwiki and flash it yourself...
ICS
Id recommend running Ice Cream Sandwich, Screw 2.3.5.
Follow the directions on a rootzwiki page, and you can easily get it.
The rom runs pretty smooth and is far better than gb.
Just remember to flash rom, flash gabbs in cwm, then gabbs fixer in cwm, then gps fixer.
Id recommend installing icy glitch to help your in-call volume settings as well.
I'm new at trying out different ROM's. I rooted my phone, installed CWM through NVflash.
Here's my issue: I've tried both Hellfire GB 2.1 and EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.4. First let me say they both seem to have done great jobs!
The problem I'm experiencing is with placing calls. I tried calling my voicemail and there is a LOT of static and I can only faintly hear the voicemail behind the static. I've tried this through the earpiece, speakerphone, and on a bluetooth headset.
I followed flashing instructions precisely: wipe wipe wipe (even with the Nullifier), install ROM zip, then gapp zip. Boot up and wait 10 minutes.
I backed up my original (T-mobile GB 2.3.4) and can restore to that with no problem making calls.
Help?
try reading a little more next time, the new baseband will not work with anything besides 2.3.4...2.3.4 rom will only be able to make calls on 2.3.4 roms... the only other way is to revert back to 2.3.3 (V21e)

Sorry I tried various search words, and I'm not sure what "baseband" is haha.
Am I understanding you right: I have to find an older Gingerbread ROM, flash that on my phone, and THEN I can flash to something newer like EaglesBlood 4.0.4?
My phone was GB 2.3.3 until about 2 weeks ago with the OTA update to 2.3.4.

No, once you get the official OTA update with the new March 2012 baseband (you can check which baseband you have in settings>about phone) you CANNOT flash any other custom ROM other than the official OTA update or a rom that is based of it because of compatability issues.
The only way that you can flash the Eaglesblood ROM or whivhever ROM you want is to downgrade down to the v21e ROM for the G2x if you search on XDA youll find some instructions on how to do so
Hope this hhelps clear up some things

Here's how to fix. Go to g2x developement, the thread how to unbrick. Then second post. Follow that.
But flash stock recovery first.
Be sure while the procedure is happening, just wait patiently

Thanks for everyone's input... I restored to my stock ROM for now. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time before custom ROMs use the newer baseband

I've recently downgraded from ICS ROM Genesis Stable Build 1 after having some lagging issues and problems with call audio.
I just wiped and flashed CM7 HF Phoenix with Trinity T15 kernel, but I'm having similar problems that I had with the Genesis ROM. I updated to the newer baseband on Genesis to correct some call audio issues, but I'm now having the same problems after downgrading back to CM7.
I already tried GetRIL and have matched my baseband, but I'm still having the call audio problem. Do I have to revert back to stock and reflash or is there another solution?

Hey all, there has been ALOT of problems with the ICS ROM (Calling Audio due to BB Issues), but I have found a successful rom that is WORKING (Calling Audio) with the LG Optimus G2X 21y Baseband (March 11 2012 BB).
I have not seen a guide out for the 4.0.4 ICS so I wanted to give a complete thread from scratch on how to root your G2X and then successfully installing the EB4.0.4 ICS ROM.
SOME links that are provided are not mine, they are Mhaedo's and r4dn14n7 (root tutorial) and it pays off to use the SEARCH button. I actually ordered this phone last week and I have never learned so much in under a week of reading on this forum. I will continue to update and post pictures as much as college time allows me. Hope everyone enjoys!
-- I want to remind you that I am ONLY confirming that TEXT + CALLING + WIFI is WORKING. (I am still unsure of Bluetooth and Tethering).
*I have also posted a youtube video at the bottom to show that the ROM IS WORKING. It does not show how to ROOT, but please PM ME if you need help, otherwise this thread covers everything.

How do I find out what doesn't work in CM9? Some show stoppers the last time I tried ICS on the G2X was lack of AD2P and cable tethering. Is there a single place I can check?

I did try out CM9 and did not have any success with the new BB (Kept getting the clicking noise while dialing). I can only confirm that EB4.0.4 is working. Unsure of whether tethering is working. It does have a few lag spikes, but that's if I'm blasting the cpu.
Very stable ROM
Use this for CM9, checking

The exception is that bluetooth call audio still doesn't work with new March 2012 baseband unless you're on a stock based Rom.
Also to the OP. There is no need to root your stock Rom if you are using NVFlash to flash CWM.
if im not mistaken, a2dp doesnt work with ANY ics rom available for the g2x. i think its in the same boat with the video camera.

Does anyone know if bluetooth audio (paired with the Sync in my Fusion) works with the old baseband? I made the mistake of upgrading the BB when EB fixed their ASOP 4.0.4 for the 21y. After that I noticed that the bluetooth was finally keeping the device rename and was successfully connecting each time the car started up, but had never gotten a call or tried to make one until last weekend. The screeching was terrible. I'll revert back to the 21e baseband if it solves the bluetooth audio problem.
I went ahead and downgraded to 21e today anyway as a test. I'll report back after I test in the car later tonight.

In my About phone menu, i see the last option, Software Version as LG-P999-V21e. But the baseband version has a Date of JUL 15 2011.
I am on stock GB 2.3.3 (rooted and installed CWM 5.0.x.x).
I tried hellfire 1.9 but calls were not working due to the old base band and i got a link to install new base band that i need to flash after rom install. But based on this thread, i can just install eagles blood without any base band update and it should work with my calls?
Pls confirm. I'll try it tonight anyways but if i need to install any other basebad on top of flashing EB, do let me know. Thanks.

Hellfire1.9 is built to work with the new base band. If you are on the V21e baseband you need to install the fix you mentioned for it to work. The fix is not an updated baseband it is just a few files to make the rom compatible with the baseband you have.
Last I checked(havent used an EB rom in a while), EB and most of the other roms available are still built to be compatible with the older basebands with a fix needed to make them compatible with the newer baseband.
So far the only roms that I know have working bluetooth calling with the new baseband are based on the stock 2.3.4 update. There may be some progress with the latest cm10 based roms but i haven't had a chance to check.
Hope this clears it up a bit and doesn't confuse the situation more

in the OP for the Hellfire Sandwich 1.9 thread there is a link under the 1.9 link for the old baseband version
you need to flash that one and not the main edition as that is for the new baseband. not sure if that link actually works being on mediafire and i am at work and that site gets blocked anyway
So all I have to do is download the g2x 4.1 alpha rom and the calls will be fixed? Does it work for simple mobile?
calls not working
How do i fix calls not working on LG G2X.....the link with the new baseband has expired
