The new BB can be tricky at times, there are certain ROM's that have the fix built in, or ROM's that claim to be made specifically for the new BB...this is where the confusion comes in.
So here are the ROM's that i've seen that already have the new BB incorporated:
-EB Build 4 (you choose which BB to flash during installation)
-[ROM][GB 2.3.7][v21y] Miui.us 6-7-12
-MokeeOS R.282
-Owain's (Build 79 will have new BB support)
So are there any other ROM's that you do NOT need to flash the BB fix? The new CM7.2 RC3 has the new BB supported within the ROM, correct?
Some more obvious ROM's that support new baseband
Stock 2.3.4 v21y
Kwes1020 Rooted Stock 2.3.4 v21y
BuRom SLIGHTLY Modded Stock 2.3.4 v21y
All Cyanogenmod versions since 7.2.0 RC3
Possibly the CM Nightly just before the May 26 RC3 version
Anything else if you use Owain's baseband fix...
I have used lots of the Cyanogenmod Nightlies because they can be dirty flashed from one update to the next. I also Nandroid back to BuRom or Stock 2.3.4 sometimes to help my wife :highfive: when she gets confused about something on her stock G2x.

It supports the March 2012 and July 2011 BB...unless Ricardo has updated to include the BBs from our Canadian neighbors...and would solve their calling issues they're having...

I bricked my phone the other day running some CPU stability test within the Mokee 2.3.7 ROM I listed above, something happened and the phone turned off, couldn't get power to come on no matter what. Luckily ADB still worked and I was able to get it going again using the flash.bat fix that takes v21e and turns it into a flashable ROM through ADB.
Either way, when I booted up the phone, I had 2.3.3, but still had v21y March 2012 listed under the baseband. I believe everything is good to go, I haven't flashed the v21y.kdz because I don't know if I actually need to.
I'm running Mokee again and his ROM states the new BB fix is incorporated with the ROM, i have no issues with signal and phone call audio so I guess everything is the way it should be.
Some ROM's work with either baseband???
I think I understand what you are getting at...
Do some ROM's (which ones?) operate fine regardless of the baseband? That's something that is not always clear from looking at changelogs. I am usually pretty careful about reading a ROM's description in its OP. We do really need an organized listing of what ROMs work on each baseband...
As for Cyanogenmod, I believe that the RC3 from May 26 only supports the March 2012 baseband. I think I read on another thread that all the CM7 versions that followed RC3 are supposed to be backward compatible with the old baseband as well. I also think I read that EB lets you chose your baseband during the install (Aroma??). Could it be that Mokee detects the baseband and adjusts to allow your cell radio to work with either baseband ?
I am going to look into this stuff some more...

The first Mokee build (about 2 weeks ago) had different ROM's for different basebands. The following build, which was like 5 days ago, stated that there will only be one ROM, but will work with either baseband. Eagles Blood ICS Build 4 makes you choose which baseband during flashing.
Mokee is the only one i've seen so far that lets you use either baseband, and have no problems.
just to be clear on Eaglesblood, you arent choosing which baseband to install, you are choosing which baseband you want the rom to support. if you have the new BB then you will want the built in support from EB, otherwise you cant use your phone as a phone unless you apply Owains fix (which can be applied to ANY rom)
as for CM7 i think all of the builds since CM7.2-RC3 support the new BB. CM7.2 just went stable a couple of days ago so all new nightlies would be 7.3??
also like i said, you can apply Owains fix to any rom to get it to work with the new BB. if you are not sure the rom you installed will work with the new BB on your phone, just make a call. if it doesnt work, then apply Owains fix. if it does, then the rom likely supports the new BB or you are still on the old one
would anyone know which V21Y roms having working BT calling? i know CM does not, therefore, since many roms are based on CM, many roms dont have working bt calling. i know Kwes's, burom, and stock all work though since they are based on stock rom.

Yeah i ran official GB for a long time before switching to CM7. I dont mess with custom roms besidides stock CM, no one makes their own roms any more they just take CM and customize i think iv seen one or 2 ROMs that wernt just CM rips and they are not being updated any more its sad but what can you do. I wont switch back to stock because i love the T15 kernel and all the custom options in cm, i forgot how much i missed the black background messenger.
I am currently using Owain's Domination ROM v.77 w/new baseband and bluetooth audio is working just fine. That said, Owain just released v.78 and there are a number of bugs (bluetooth and wi-fi among them). I am sure he will have them addressed in no time with a fix all update but if you decide to go the route of Domination I would choose v.77 which is a really nice ROM for daily use. My battery life using Harsh's kernel is amazing!!
Update: Was working fine. Now my BT sounds like crap.
Please dont tell me to search I have been up now for 48hrs searching I have tried everything kdz,cwm, etc this is my problem I have a G2X flashed to hellssandwhich worked awsome but I can't make or recieve calls it sounds like it is farting in the phone .then i tried to revert back using the KDZ method works until i have to load the KDZ file keeps saying error I have tried the v11h_--.kdz no luck I am almost ready to just shell out for a new phone and see if i throw this one will it fly in airplane mode (lol). I did a master reset no luck I returned it back to what I thought was stock still no calls everything else works text,web via wifi , etc oh last detail this is a unlocked phone working on att network
For one, it would help to make a descriptive topic (in case anybody else is having this issue, and for people to see before they click on the thread)
For two, what is your current baseband? I'm not sure how exactly an unlocked phone will work with another provider, so based on the current condition (software/kernel versions/baseband) you may be very limited to what roms you can flash or how effective kdz files are on your phone via the network your on.
I havnt had to do or use the kdz option luckily, but more information should be provided for an informative response.
I would start with 2.3.3 versions, as the audio issues arise with roms conflicting with baseband versions.
Also try the baseband fix posted in the general section, along with owain's baseband fix on his cm9 rom post.
Oh, and search these threads, I'm sure their are plenty of possible resolutions within them... lol. Its probably not the greatest idea to start a topic on the defense if you want a warm reply.

took both mine and my wifes g2x back to 2.3.4 stock. ran the updated baseband on both but for some reason her's still isn't making/receiving calls. also her baseband is showing jul 15 2011.
i did this to hers last night and didn't bother checking it. now shes on a 8 hour road trip with our 2 girls and has no phone.
i also tried the lg support tool but the phone has a jacked up charger port and would never connect to my computer.
If she has the July 2011 baseband try putting the 2.3.3 ROM on it or if she still has CWM installed flash this on her 2.3.4 ROM and see if it fixes it http://db.tt/abISGgzB

If she's still on the 2011 baseband then any cyanogenmod rom should work as well... her phone wont work because she has a v21e baseband and is running a v21y rom.
This has been the cause of alot of confusion on the forums the last couple months.
Hope it works out.

I'm not positive that is entirely correct, I haven't been around here much but last time I checked that latest CM nightlys only work with the latest 21y baseband.
she's on stock 2.3.4. lets not worry about custom roms cause there is no way im talking her through downloading and installing a rom
what i don't get is i used the same zip file to do both of ours. after doing the exact same thing on both i ran getril and mine passed but heres did not. mine is good with 21y and her's prompted for 21e.
is it just a simple fix of her d/l'ing 21y through getril?

Like I said before she needs a v21e based rom not a v21y based rom.
And no all new cm aren't only for the new baseband.
Just because its a custom rom doesn't mean its any more complex or unstable, in fact with this garbage device the custom roms are more stable than the stock ones as far as I'm concerned.

yeah 21e isn't working either.
this is about retarded that we are both on the same rom, but mine runs 21y fine and her's won't run 21y or 21e.

is there one out there that has gps, mms, and video all working with little to no extra files?

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read.
I have a LG G2X, love the feel, the display, the specs and the price. Hate the phone....in every other way
I am on my 4th G2X now b/c I keep taking it back to T-Mobile to get a new one based on the following things my phone does:
1. It restarts 1-2x a week, randomly with or without a power adapter plugged
2. It freezes up every other day or so and requires a hard restart (battery pull) to resume use
3. It frequently takes 5+ minutes to get a GPS lock (tried in several cities coast to coast US)
Now if it were just the first phone I could say lemon, but every G2X I have owned does this, T-Mobile told me it was a known issue with the phone but couldn't tell me if it was software or hardware in nature.
So my question to you fellow forumites is this: Is the issue hardware related (move on to another phone) or software (Rom install fixes all my worries and I'm happy forever and ever and ever)?
If you're still using the stock ROM, and are still on 2.3.3, then you are experiencing SW suckage... Get a custom CM7 Rom on there and enjoy some of the finer benefits. Stability will be better but you won't be dead-set stable. GPS has been an issue for some since the inception of the phone. Others have GREAT GPS reception.
Research the Development forums and find a CM7.2 ROM that best suits you. You can of course go CM9 (ICS) but you won't get HW Acceleration and some things just flat out don't work yet.

The stability and GPS performance are greatly enhanced by the stock 2.3.4 ROM, also, if you're not a CM7 fan.

Thanks for the great responses guys, just another reason I love this forum.
I should have given a few more details, I am running stock 2.3.3 on T-Mobile in the US.
Few questions for a techie (but virgin ROMer):
1. Is the 2.3.4 stock available OTA? I haven't seen any available upgrades.
2. What does baseband refer to? (trying to educate myself on the terms)
3. Any favorite ROMs? My must haves are stability and speed, other than that any goodies/awesomeness is welcome but the first two are absolute.
I am tempted to stick to stock ROMs as I haven't flashed one myself yet and this phone is my lifeblood b/c of work.
On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is "I did it with on accident when I dropped it down the stairs" and 10 is "the most difficult thing you will ever do in your life" what is the difficulty for a ROM virgin to sucessfully flash to 2.3.4 (if it is not available OTA) or CM7/other ROMs,etc?
I am technical, 12 year IT professional with MCSA/CCNA, etc but haven't done much research into the ROM biz. If its not too difficult is there a "Must read" guide for noobs?

Difficulty is pretty low. If you can follow instructions, and understand what you're doing, then you should be good to go. If you want 2.3.4, you're gonna need to use LG's ****ty software. Either you use KDZ flasher, or LG's official PC suite. Both crashed on me constantly on Win7 x64. I was lucky/unlucky, it crashed right after writing the baseband (low level radio firmware). It hadn't even partitioned anything yet if I tried to turn it on, not even a backlight was showing. So I had to use NVflash to completely repartition it to stock. After that, I flashed CWM (clockworkmod), the custom recovery. Nowadays, TWRP is available. TWRP is awesome, and they have awesome Devs. TWRP (teamwin recovery project) is touch based rather than CWM and traditional volume key and power button navigation. There is CWM touch, but it's extremely experimental and I find it too glitchy compared to TWRP. TWRP is a work in progress however and there may be issues (I had one but it was easily fixed with one command when I spoke with the Devs on irc) I haven't had any serious ones though. IMO it's easier to NVflash in a Linux environment, because there is no messing around with drivers. But after drivers are installed on windows, the difficulty level plateaus.
As for my favorite ROM, that would currently temasek cm7 builds. They're stable, fast and they're customizable as f***.
I don't have any links right now, because I'm on my phone, (I can grab them later/soonish) you're going to want tga_gunman's thread named something along the lines of "One click recovery flasher" that's for CWM recovery. If you want TWRP, there's a thread that has TWRP in the title.
Also look for "ROM for recovery under NVflash" or something similar to that. That will take you back to complete stock 2.3.3 no matter what happened software wise, unless you somehow managed to break the baseband. The baseband is the only thing that cannot be fixed by NVflash, only can be fixed by LG's ****ty PC software.
For temasek's cm7 builds, the thread is not created by temasek, but the builds are by him. It should be at build 133 or 134.
If you need anything else, PM me maybe.

Firstly thanks for all the good Q/A, like a good forum noobie, I'm marking thanks each reply.
I want to make sure I understand your comment. This is what I understood, let me know if I'm off/on. The CM Roms do not work with BT calling, so I should stick with stock if that's important to me? I would assume then for me to get beyond my current issues (OP) my best bet would be to Flash the 2.3.4 stock?
Thanks again for the info and time.
***edit***
Nix the above. I completely read it wrong, thought you were saying all CM ROMs didn't work with Bluetooth. Just so on the current Baseband.
I'm on Jul 15 2011 Baseband currently, so I'll attempt the CM7 ROM this weekend when I'm back home and able to devote more focus. Coming from stock 2.3.3 do I need to flash a kernel as well or will that be in the ROM <---showing my ROM noobness but unashamed to learn.

If you decide to get the newer baseband (you get it with 2.3.4 kdz, only way to get new baseband) and bt calling is important, do not go to cm. If you don't mind staying on the older baseband, bt calling will work fine on cm.

Lol, I feel so dumb, its like learning a new language while being held underwater.
kdz=?
I'm trying to understand why I would decide to get the newer baseband? If I do I can use BT calling but can't use CM7 ROMs, if I don't I can use CM7 ROMs and BT calls should work fine. Dont see the upside to upgrading the baseband, unless it has issues?
BTW as I haven't seen it, I get happy feelings when I look at your avatar

KDZ = LG's proprietary file type to update their phones via PC officially. A lot of people say the new baseband gives them better gps and call quality. Basically if you don't change baseband to the new one, everything will work perfectly. If you DO switch, everything will work perfectly, but only on stock. Everything will work on cm except Bluetooth calling with the new baseband. I don't think it's worth restricting yourself to stock because of the new baseband and and bt calling. My recommendation? Don't change baseband, just go to cm. Also, soon we might start to see android 4.1.1 jelly bean. They won't be stable for a while though.
Too much fun.
Couldn't wait, just finished flashing CWM, then backed up, then wiped like 400x then dropped the CM7 ROM you sugested.
Longest 10 minutes of my life letting it sit.
Working great, I'll update here with any additional info or create a new thread.
TY TY TY all
Update -
Still working great, only two issues.
* Cellular network is only showing E, played with the settings but can't seem to get any G networks.
* Google apps/play isn't installed, I think I have this one figured out to download/flash from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154) (http://goo.im/gapps/) but I'm confused about which one to DL.
help plox?

If it's cm7 get the latest gb one, if it's cm9 get the latest ics one... It has gb or ics in the name of the file.

Yeah goo.im/gapps is the best. For the cell network, try going settings> wireless>mobile>network operators and select "select automatically"
So I bought a tablet and am going to be using it for most things.Android and can let my G2x go back to being a full fledged phone. I really miss being able to use Bluetooth.
So for the ROM I need BT calling to work as well as WIfi Calling
I don't want to go as far as stock, possibly rooted stock, Was wondering what non-CM ROM you would choose any why? I've always used CM ROMs. Not sure what to use now.
Yes, this is a personal opinion question.

My guess is, that you flashed to the latest Baseband. You could always revert back to the Jul 15, 2011 Baseband via the KDZ method. I have found that the CM GB ROM's are more polished and feature-rich than any of the stock ROMS that exist.
If going back to Stock is your only recourse, I believe there are 2 modified Stock ROM's based on the new Baseband that you will want to take a look at. One is by KWES and the other is by BURU (I believe). I am most positive KWES has one out there though. Have a look in the DEV section and make sure you're looking for 2.3.4 ROM's. As far as Kernels for said ROM's, I think you're looking at using stock or some of FAUX's early .9 kernels (v0.13 I believe).

Yeah pretty much what he said. The most stable and reliable would be any modded stock ROM by kwes or myself.
I am getting ready to flash them today. Just picking out correct kernel's.
Ill try both and see what i live.

Running buru now. I'll run it for a 48hr test drive, than kewes and make a pick.
I just don't wanna mess with the entire kdz to flash to a lower BB to run CM7 with BT, something tells me I'm gonna miss CM7 in the long run. lol

Hah I know what you mean .
I would suggest to also stick with stock kernel if you sun into any problems. They actually did a decent job on it.
Pretty pleased so far. With ADW launcher and Magic Locker I've gained into ths stock ROM what I used most in CM7. Apps handle a lot of those things for me. SD Booster and Swapper as well.
I am using faux 014b2 kernel with your ROM buru. Simply fast. Happy so far. Thank you!
