I bought a g2x from craigslist. its brand new but i guess that previous owner has done some update or something now it does not show any baseband version. So my Sim card which i changed to 4g version yesterday does not show any network. my old sim card did not show any network either.
this is what i see when i look at About Phone
Model # LG-P999
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9
Build Number : FRG83G
Software Version : LG-P999-V10f
I am coming from a vibrant with using bionix and not new to rooting or flashing rom. I did research a lot. But not sure if this is something that can be fix.
Please help.
thanks a lot in advance
Try the official update ota or via LG, other threads describe the process and that might get you the new baseband.

I tried to run the software update check from the phone. i connected with wifi. but i guess as it does not have a connection with tmobile netowrk its showing connection failed.
I think what heysharon is saying, is to update through lg website with your phone connected to your pc.

Ohhh, Yeah tried that already. But LG updater says device not supported for update. is there a way to flash the baseband ? I have a feeling that the previous owner flashed a o2x rom or something which changed the baseband. and then he ran the recovery to fix it.
Which model do you have? Check under the battery hood if it's Model 990 or 999. Perhaps it's wrong update for the phone.
Sorry I saw now you said it's 999. If there is no baseband you might have to return it to the Tmo...

Was it working when you bought it from the Craigslist seller? Did you try it with a SIM card before you bought it? Just wondering if the problem was there when you bought it or if you might've done something to the phone after you bought it.

That seems odd. You saw it working with his SIM? Did you or him make any changes to the phone software after you saw it working? The baseband wouldnt just disappear.

Probably didn't flash an O2X rom as that would've changed the partition table and I don't think you can restore the G2X system back to it ... well at least without going to great lengths to fix the partitions.

i guess what happened is i really did not check it throughly. his sim was inside the phone and when he gave me he took it off and did a factory reset. thats what it was. and i was texting him before we met and he was calling me or texting me from his phone. i believed him. and i can see what happned for believing him. great
Try doing the regular nvflash thing root it n flash a rom or stock nanroid maybe that'll bring the baseband back

Thank you for this file. I tried ICS, but I can't manage to receive voicemail notifications, which is pretty annoying. And the carrier name shows "Vid otron". It seems that the ICS notification bar font doesn't support "é" characters. It's kind of weird...
Hey, this is something i've been looking for. Could ya tell me which baseband it upgrades the phone to? Thanks

While on XP I've used that .kdz file with the flasher/updater from KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z to flash my secondary G2x, you also need to have the APX driver installed from One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar. I've also reverted back to the original recovery before attempting the kdz flash. Once done with it, I had the Videotron branded android and the baseband with OCT 24 2011 date. I tried a simple mobile sim card with it. After adding an APN, the data seemed to work. I was able to receive a call from my other phone. Then, I've flashed the CM recovery (as it was back to stock) using nvflash and then from the CM recovery I've flashed Owain's ICS on it.
I also have a copy of the files that .kdz unpacked (though I'm not sure if its complete).
That's about it.
Oh, yeah, before I had JUL 15 2011 baseband after the GB upgrade.
Also take a look at this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
To use the KDZ_FW_UPD you need to disconnect the phone from usb, remove the battery, hold the Vol down button while plugging-in the USB cable. This will force the S/W Update screen on the phone, and the tool will work.
I also reflashed V21E_00.01.kdz with that KDZ_FW_UPD tool and the baseband went back to JUL 15 2011.
Awesome!

Just to simplify things, the thread I've pointe to has all the tools/drivers. But it is a bit murky about the flashing process.
As long as you are on the stock recovery, it should be possible to just remove the battery, unplug the usb, push and hold Vol down and plug back the usb. At that point the S/W Upgrade screen should show up and KDZ_FW_UPD tool should be able to pick up your phone and apply the .kdz

Before flashing do a backup with CWM. Then flash the Videotron KDZ file. After verifying if the SMS issue is fixed you can reflash CWM and then flash back the CWM backup to got back to T-Mobile Gingerbread. No reason to reflash a KDZ as this is the latest baseband available for the P999. I might do it to mine just to get the new baseband. I moved on to another phone due to band issues (needed 850 3G support for a carrier here in Thailand) but I have not gotten around to selling my G2X yet.
You saying to do a backup of any rom or flash back to 2.3.3 ota version? I assume any rom, which isn't an issue as I have about 10 on my PC lol...

Whatver your current rom is if you want to go back to your phone how it is. The sms problem is not in the rom so restoring the rom won't change anything if updating with the patched baseband fixes the issue. All you care about is getting the new baseband. Up to you if you want to restore current rom or flash something else.

Okay I figured that much... I don't really care about restoring so much cause I don't do any super customizations to my phone and only use 10ish applications and no games to worry about save points.

In rom copy d/l, select the .fls file in the CP bin field, leave the AP bin field blank and allow it to flash the file. That's the so-called standard procedure, didn't try it though.

Installed the kdz file, it works BUT...........
NO market (theres a different market and you can't get the normal one to work)
CONTACTS become chinese????????????
The signal bar stays white (no change in colour from white to green) like it was in froyo (is that all that was causing the GC issues?)

Root it and install CWM then flash any of the GB Roms available on the forum.
this will fix all the above issues.
Your APN Settings have not been set that's why you have no data connection.
You could try and install google apps if you haven't already to fix market.

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

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:

If you look under the the big Hellfire Sandwich v1.9. there is a download link for the old baseband if you dont want to take the leap to upgrading your baseband.
But if you want to update your baseband look in the general section you should be able to find what your looking for to upgrade your baseband. I'd post a link but i havnt got my 10 posts yet.
yeah I think im gonna upgrade the baseband from what I'm told baseband matters a lot. I take it I have to install a stock rom and in the process it will unroot my phone but I just root it back thanks man you been a great help.
I dont know if you want to use this guide, but this is the only way I could get the 21y firmware and march 2012 baseband on my wind mobile p999 phone.
