[Q] Upgrade to New Baseband - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm on stock ROM on my P500, V10R, and i want to upgrade to New Baseband to flash the newest roms.
But i have a question:
If i upgrade to the new baseband, will i be able to use it in the stock rom (receive call/sms/...) ?
Thanks in advance

You will not be able to receive calls/sms with the new baseband on stock.
stock = old baseband
(most) custom roms = new baseband
If you want to switch to custom roms, don't mess with the baseband. Instead, you can take the shortcut and just flash the following file after you flash the custom rom:

When i flashed the fix after flashing cm9, and cm10, my phone P505, just sits a the LG logo an doesnt move....if I do not flash this, the phone boots but the screen color is all screwed up. I just picked this phone up as a backup phone, and I tried googling the issue.

Oh, you have the P505? This is what I would do:
1. I'm assuming you are rooted. So with a file explorer, go to /system/lib, and find libgstk_exp.so, libpbmlib.so, and libwms.so.
2. Open the fix, and replace the three files in the zip with the three files that you took from /system/lib.
That should help I think. For the screwed up screen color, that is an issue with the kernel, which was probably made for the P500/P509. You're going to need a different kernel (I can't find it right now, and even if I did, I think it was a gingerbread kernel, which means it would work only on CM7). I'm not sure if there is a kernel for CM9 for the P505, but for the CM10, Rashed has made a separate build of both CM10 and CM10.1 for the P505, so you shouldn't have issues there (unless you chose a CM10/CM10.1 for a phone other than the P505).

[Q] Wrong baseband version on i9023

I have the wrong baseband version on my nexus s and now I don't have 3G anymore. I tried to go back to stock rom but it won't let me. Is there a way to go back to the original baseband sttings because I am now on I9020A instead of I9023. When I tries to flash the stpck rom it didn't go past the verifications becaise it thinks that this is a I9020A instead of a i9023.
i think we have the same problem.
in bootloader i see
BOOTLOADER VERSION - I9020XXKL1
BASEBAND - I9020XXKI1
my nexus is i9023 not i9020! how can i change it?
Don't bother. It's normal. Both the phones have the same baseband.

Yep, it was stated the same on GB. I presume they change it to 9023 in Settings/About phone just to avoid confusion.
Same problem over here.
Anyone knows a solution??
Wrong Baseband

I went through the same problem not more than a week ago. The problem is your using stock recovery. So just flash a custom recovery like cwm and then flash a stock rom. Then install a custom rom right after. You will loose cwm again after this because you just flashed a stock rom so just download rom manager and flash cwm with it. All the best mate.

I already have cwm installed but when i try to install a stock 2.3.6 rom the installation is abborted; status 7. Also if I try to install 2.3.3 or 4.0.3 it gives me that error
Do you have the latest version of cwm?
The baseband XXKI1 is fine for I9023 regardless if it says I9020 or not, I9023 and I9020T are the same.
I9020A needs a different radio.
I have the latest cwm 5.0.2.0 but I have baseband I9020AUCKF1. I hate being on gprs
You have the wrong radio.
You said your phone is a I9023 so you need XXKF1 or XXKI1
Flash it through cwm
Do you have a link of the radios? I don't want to brick my phone again :S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Everything you need is here!
Look through the android development forum for the new radio XXKI1 but the XXKF1 radio in the link I gave you will do fine!
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396532
This is for the XXKI1 radio.
I recommend you uprooted your phone, find stock i9020a rom and then installing it... Then you can root it again or something...

Do NOT do this.
The phone is an I9023.
Try flash the radios and see if that works, it may just be a corrupted file PR something, reflash and see how that goes.
Then IF that doesn't work try flash gb stock rom for I9023, 2.3.6 grk39f PR something like that bit try the radio first.

What rom did you flash? I mean I understand it is gingerbread but was it the stock one .kdz files or was it a custom rom? plus if it was custom rom did you first install the baseband as it was instructed in the rom's OP ( think all roms op have the advice about flashing baseband before installing rom if you are coming directly from Froyo). Which kind of model do you have? Is it a p920 or a p925? More info is required in order to get some help... Anyway look on the guide about flashing .kdz files and use that to return to Froyo or flash gingerbread as a KDZ which installs baseband automatically. PS if your failed install is cyanogenmod don't return to froyo this way. There is a guide on how to revert to froyo from cyanogenmod somewhere...

ohhh. ok first of all you needed to flash the baseband first. there should be directions as to how to do that in kng3d thread along with link to the baseband. second I am not sure if the rom will work as it is supposed to seeing it is made for p920 and not thrill. Still it may. I havent done any research over the matter though. May have connection isues. But flashing baseband is essential for gb to work. Maybe at the thrill forums they have more info. Try looking there first.

[Q] JB update and custom kernel

Hi all,
I'm sorry about my stupid question but I really don't know nothing about that . I had rooted and flashed my NS and installed the matr1x kernel (very good btw), and now I knew that JB will be available to NS. My question is, need I back to stock kernel to receive the update?
Thanks

You have to understand that installing an OTA (official update) on a rooted device regardless of what kernel can cause problems, as it did with my Nexus S before. I suggest you make a NANDroid backup at all times before you install any ROMs, official or Custom. You can also use Titanium backup and others.
There's still a slight while until the new JB 4.1 comes out. It's suggested that you install a Custom JB 4.1 ROM for your Nexus S as though you don't cause any problems. I think it's OK if you do it with the kernel pre-installed. But people always install the Custom ROM THEN they install the Kernel, I think installing a new ROM always overwrites the kernel, if it comes with it.
EDIT:
In short, wait for the JB Custom ROM and you don't have to revert back to stock kernel, when you do the update it will automatically overwrite. Most Custom ROMs come with Stock/ordinary kernels. So then the user can flash whatever kernel they like in your case, matr1x.
Wish you the best of luck, and I am waiting for the Nexus S JB to come out as soon as possible
Ota binary patches the boot image iirc. So it can get all messed up.

A NANDroid backup is a internal memory backup. You can create one by booting into Recovery (Power off your phone and Hold Power and Down on your volume buttons.) If you rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader (that's what you had to do to flash a new kernel), you should be able to load ClockworkMod or TeamWin Recovery and do a backup of your phone.

There's one rom but it's a port from the SDK and the amount of major bugs is high so it's not recommended but you could try another custom rom meanwhile, I can't go back to stock after trying custom roms, like AOKP and Cyanogenmod 9. Make sure you backup your apps and some settings (not everything will be compatible between stock and custom so pay close attention to which system setting you'll backup) with Titanium Backup.
To sum it all up for you
There's a Jelly Bean release which is unstable and has no sound, and will not be fixed until the REAL version comes out.
NANDroid backs up the whole internal memory on the phone including the system, it can be done from clockworkmod recovery.
Titanium backup, backs up specific settings and information that you choose, available from the playstore.
You don't need to unroot or go back to a STOCK kernel in order to flash a CUSTOM ROM. DO not however flash a STOCK rom after rooting, as at times that can cause problems.
If you want to go back to a STOCK ROM after rooting a device, there's a way, check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and choose your Nexus S model: To acquire model, go to Settings - About - Baseband version. if it says I9023 at the start that's your Nexus S's model
Choose one of the Fastboot Stock ROMs and use the Fastboot method to flash the ROM. That is a good way to go back to STOCK ROM if anything bad happens
By the way you should expect the new OTA official 4.1 update for the Nexus S to be on your model's page.
NOTE: Using Fastboot to flash a ROM is very clean. However this will delete all your data and if you do everything correctly will lock your bootloader and unroot your phone. So use Fastboot only when you really feel the need to.
Cheers
and stay tuned for Jelly Bean :victory:

That means, when I receive the official 4.1 update notification, I should unroot my phone first and just install it after?

OK first off, do not install the update using the system update method from about, as that is a 100% stuff up if you're still rooted or on a Custom ROM.
However to update I think flashing a stock ROM but USING Clockworkmod works fine!
Someone please confirm, as I am not 100% sure
However what I am sure about is that if you run into any troubles installing your STOCK ROM using Fastboot is very very good and clean, however there are 2 things:
1. You will wipe everything COMPLETELY
2. You need the ROM to be in a fastboot format kind of way for you to flash it
There's a guide and everything for fastboot.
---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------
Personally I will wait for a custom ROM for 4.1 if it doesn't take too long as that's guaranteed and will obviously be faster and safer to install on a ROOTED device.
Someone still confirm if installing Stock ROM while over Custom ROM while ROOTED through CWM is OK or not!?
Hummm, ok...
I'm already using the Stock ROM, I just flashed a new kernel, and I prefer install the stock kernel and unroot my phone. Just to let it clean.
After I install the JB official update, maybe I flash and root again, depends of Google :laugh:
Do you know where can I download a trust official 4.0.4 kernel from the forums? My phone is a Nexus S I9020AUCKJ1, Version Number: IMM76D
Thanks!!!

[Q] How to Backup Baseband and Recovery (is there a need to)?

I have an LG P500 from a friend who upgraded, and it has the V10 baseband.
In order to install the ROM I want, I'll have to upgrade the baseband and install a custom recovery.
If I need to return to my previous setup, how to I return to the original baseband and recovery?
The phone itself is not under warranty, so the recovery image probably does not matter much, but does the baseband matter?
I mean, if I install a V10 baseband from a different country and use the original ROM, should I expect problems?

Custom recovery like CWM is a must but No need to switch basebands, there are baseband fixes available which you need to flash after flashing ROM.

Thanks for the reply, but according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530&page=43
the fix does not work for JB and doesn't work with some of the recovery images, which may be recommended for the ROMs I want to install.

Have you used this ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833218
This one specifically suggests using CWM 5.0.2.7 (although it may be that the newer CWM is more stable on the new baseband)
I have searched the forums some more and found this site: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/
You need to remove the :9002 from the URL you get at the end, and it should download the original ROM for your location/provider.
I am still interested in an answer to my original questions.

[Q] Confusion about adding V21y firmware update to custom ROMs

Hello,
I am still relatively new to a lot of android stuff here. I have tried to search for similar problems, but I did not find detailed explanations that I could use to figure out what went wrong in my case.
I recently started to try custom ROMs. I have NVFlashed CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.8 and rooted my phone, and then I followed the instruction to flash the ROM of Bionix Reloaded v1.4.1 FINAL, as explained here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400620
Everything runs well in Bionix, but it's on Android version 2.3.3, which doesn't work with the baseband (phone call audio has nothing but clicking sounds), which led me to follow the instruction here to update to V21y firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601918
After I did that, the phone audio works now, but this basically gave me back a stock ROM with a lot of bloat.
I had read some comments in the above thread that mentioned backing up the custom ROM via CWM first, then do the V21y update, then re-NVFlash CWM and restore the custom ROM via CWM. I tried this, but it brought me back to the exact same Bionix on version 2.3.3, with the same phone audio problem. Did I misunderstand or do something wrong here? Or is there another way to do it? Please pardon my inexperience and give very detailed step-by-step instruction. Thank you.
try flash the bandwidth that says BEFORE 2012 and also download the app GetRil and make sure your Ril is matching

Yes. Bionix is for older baseband and I thought it wasn't even 2.3. If you want to use Bionix with v21y you have to flash the new baseband zip file.
Based on what you described, do the following:
Follow instructions to install Bionix.
Search and download new baseband zip file.
Flash the new baseband zip file.
You should have bionix with working phone audio (but broken Bluetooth)
Alternatively you can go back to v21e and the flash bionix. No need to flash the new baseband zip file then and Bluetooth would work too.
Post results. Let me know if I am off the mark.
-- The noob says:
Believe you me... Apple suggested LG for Nexus 4
Thank for the quick response everyone. I am currently trying out CyanogenMod 7.2, in which there is no problem with the V21y issue. I like it so far, and I might not try other ROMs for a while, but when I do, I'll post the result here.

I did not know the V21y baseband thing could be flashed with a zip file, and done in a way that doesn't overwrite the existing custom ROM. When I searched, I could only find V21y zip files that are basically installing a new ROM though.
You're better off staying with cm7. You can flash something else but you'll just end up flashing back
