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.
Just search

Right now YOU CAN'T ROOT the updated Gingerbread from LG but i'm a sneaky FOX ..... what i did i used NVFlash (google it) than i did the manuall recovery of my froyo than root it again and than used the updated gingerbread.zip file over xda forums... and fualah!!! rooted gingerbread from the updated lg update..... sweet!!!! now if they can somehow bring back the lg camera :/
They have had it rooted for a few hours. Just flash the rooted official gb rom and reboot. It's pure stock just rooted.

The zip file provided to flash through CWM is the new leak but the old baseband. The ONLY way to get the new baseband is to flash the leak using the LG Update Tool.
that's funny cause the baseband is different from the froyo and i had the lg updated GB.... it has the same baseband as the one i have know.... it still has the date on it (jul 15)

Right...at one point, you updated to GB using the LG updater right? That's why you have the updated baseband. So even after you nvflashed recovery and flashed the rooted GB rom, you kept the updated baseband.
However, if someone that did NOT update with the LG updater flashed that same rooted rom, the phone would have the old baseband.
So those of us that got the newer batch of g2x's (P999DWP) CANNOT get the new baseband by any purpose other than waiting for someone to strip it out and release it as a separate flashable file for us. Then again, prayer might work too. Unless, of course, LG adds the DWP's to the list of elible phones. But it would probably make no sense for them to do that since this was supposed to be a test-build update for a limited selection of testers that had the original P999DW models.

I saw that but i don't want to flash the whole ROM just for Root. My phone is working perfect the way I got it right now and just need root to debloat this thing and restore with titanium.
I would flash it over this one if at least three people confirm that gps is instant lock like the update.
When I say instant lock I mean it lol, Even inside our house.

Mine was not written anywhere on the box or the phone itself. In fact, ON the inside of my phone, underneath the battery, it says P999DW. It wasn't until I already reverted to stock, unrooted, restored stock recovery, and ran the LG software updater, that I discovered it read my phone as P999DWP.
With that being said, I had my doubts that I would be able to update anyway, because I know my phone is a newer build than many. My first g2x had a serial number starting with 104, and I know most people here have numbers starting with either 104 or 105...but my new replacement g2x that got here 2 days ago has a serial number starting with 106.
Well, I have confidence in the devs here...and I'm certain good things will come to light soon enough.
Now all we need is that sweet lg camera apk back and more fixes and we are good to go! someone try to get back the lg stock camera!!

This is 100% right. There was a post on the T-Mobile community page for RSA's yesterday. Since I work for T-Mobile i saw this as well. The OTA is v21e so it is the same version as the LG updater.T-Mobile also has it listed that if you do not want to do the OTA, to use the LG updater and update that way. This is a Official msg relased to all t-mobile employe's yesterday.

So all I need to do is keep cwm, restore my stock ROM that I had backed up as soon as I nvflashed cwm, and then I should get an OTA update in which I will then lose root and cwm and be at 2.3.3 stock? Correct?
I'm not seeing the OTA update. It says I have the current version. I restored a backup I made right before I started installing ROMs so my current info is Kernel 2.6.32.9, Software Version V10F, Baseband March 17, and Android 2.2.2. I also restored the stock recovery.
Any ideas? Does the OTA roll out slowly?

I think that's what people were doing with the LG update so I don't see why it would be different for OTA.

How do you Downgrade G2x Baseband

My friend had a g2x and he is running Ricardo's selfkang ics builds. But everything works for him except text messaging. He can send texts with no problem but he is not receiving the messages back.
His baseband is build from July and mine is from march. Maybe its a base and issue, and I want to know where can I get the old March 2011 base and and how do I downgrade his baseband
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
So far, the P999/G2X baseband is not flashable separately from the rest of the firmware and operating system and don't use the flashing utility for the P990/Optimus 2X to flash the Optimus 2X baseband because it will ruin the P999/G2X so that the phone won't be usable as a phone anymore.
Im having the same issue, still haven't found a way around it. I made a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577242
Tell your friend to try a different rom. The Cm9 build is only beta and not everything is working properly
If he wants to stay on ICS roms, have him try Hells or EB or AOK ics roms and see what results he gets

Have you tried using the getril app in the play store. It may be an issue because his baseband and ril are not matching. I have no problems sending or receiving anything on ics with July baseband.

It's actually really easy to downgrade. I upgraded yesterday using mode XP and then realized I couldn't use CM7 Roms without in-call audio acting up. I just did the same procedure again but used the 'V21E_00.kdz' flash file. Its the update file that has the July 2011 baseband. It worked perfectly under Mode XP using the offline updater tool.
Give it a try. Hope this helps

Flash stock recovery with nvflash.
Then using windows XP, plug your phone in, install the msxml file. Then run tthe kdz updater. Browse to the v21e kdz and launch the application.

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.

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.

Questions About Newest Baseband and Rooting

I haven't had a G2X in a while, pretty much since the last baseband update was out, I have a couple of questions:
-Is the new baseband OTA? or do I have to download the kdz file and go that route?
-I don't remember how to root this device, can i go for the new baseband and THEN root? Also is the new baseband fixed to be able to work with ICS and JB roms without any fixes?
Thanks.

Nah, you have to use LG's software update tool. You need to be running stock in order to do so. I'd hook you up with a link but unfortunately I'm a new kid on the block. Just do a search and you'll find it with ease.

You can indeed upgrade to the new baseband and then root. Some ROMs will be baked to be able to handle it while others will require you to just flash Owain's fix.
Hope this helped.

Ah that's right, the LG update tool, I forgot about that. I've had a couple G2X's and I'm not a noob to the device, just been a while and rooted other phones so I forgot.
I'll worry about it when I get around to it. thanks.
I updated my BB OTA, just gotta be on stock rom and recovery..

The one I'm getting today is a used g2x, but its not rooted, so obviously stock. It probably is updated already, but who knows.
