[Q] Can't flash 2.3.4 21Y - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi, So i'm on version 2.3.3 21e. My phone was on 21y previously, so my baseband is that of the 21y. When i go to call all i hear is popping noises.
I followed the tutorial on how to run the KDZ update but my computer keeps saying permission denied for the offline version, and for the online version it just keeps saying (Not responding) then windows force closes the program. Is there an alternative method to flashing 21y 2.3.4?
Note: I made program exceptions for my firewall that is not the issue

If I can just put 2.3.4 on my SD card and then boot into CWM, and extract, would that work?

All you have to do is flash the new baseband fix. Twitch posted a link to it in your earlier thread. Download it from your phone, not your PC. Then shut your phone off, boot into cwm recovery. Select flash zip from SD card. Choose the baseband zip file you just downloaded to flash it. Then select reboot and your calls should be fine.

I get that, but I want to install 2.3.4. or am I better off on 2.3.3 to flash eaglesblood?

Better off with 2.3.3 for most roms including EB. however, because you were on the 21y baseband I think you were originally on 2.3.4 like I was.

I'm pretty sure you were originally on 2.3.4 21y so try flashing the first zip file in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

Issue flashing ROM

I rooted my TB with Captainkrtek's method and everything works great. Superuser is running properly and not having any issues. But when I use cwm to try to flash a rom or kernel it tries to fastboot and fails. But it shows at the top "s-on" then says PG05img not located and fails. How could I have used his root method and still have s-on? Any hep would be great. Thanks!

Rooted with new baseband

So after reflashing to stock in order to try the new update, I realized that it unrooted my phone. I was kinda down by this but I thought maybe I could reflash cwm in order to flash to a new rom. I ended up flashing cwm successfully without rooting the phone and was able reflash miui and now all of the backups I have are using the new baseband with no issues. The problem I found most people were probably running into when trying to use the LG updater tool is they were not removing the SD card prior to flashing which prevents the update from completing successfully. Just thought I'd share my two cents.

Hmm.. if this is true it would have been nice if they told us to remove the SD card. Unless I missed that somewhere.

I flashed just fine with my SD card in.
It doesn't remove Clockwork mod recovery so just flash a rooted rom. They have the lastest GB stock already rooted in flash form. Just flash and you'll have root back. Easier then trying to root it as I don't think the new GB rom can be rooted yet (could be wrong).
Easier to just flash

I tried to flash mine with the SD card removed and completely lost my baseband. I had to send my phone back to LG for repair/replacement.
in the directions that were posted by tmonews that were official from LG, the directions state to remove SD card, when you flash the update, it puts it back to the stock recovery, at least it did for me, so when i re-flashed cwm i was able to keep all of my other cwm backups that now have the newest baseband.
Just followed the video this morning to make sure I did the right steps. I got CWM on there but won't give me root.

No issues here with updating and having a sd card installed.
@bow...did you download the rooted rom from xboarder? It is a zip. Install it after using the LG tool and you will be good to go.

My phone already rooted is there a way to update from froyo to gingerbread without using kies? Also i copied my efs file but it seems to have nothing in it? Why?

If you're rooted, follow the guide in the second link of signature - flash with bootloaders - then go back to the first guide for help flashing a custom ROM in CWM.
After you flash bhunven's KJ6 Heimdall One-Click make a nandroid backup in CWM to have a copy of your efs folder and copy to your computer.

Tried to update my G2x to the pre-alpha jellybean but now I keep rebooting into CWM

Upon trying to flash the new rom via the built-in aroma installer, something seems to have gone awry, and now I can't get anything to boot. Perpetual CWM.
I tried:
factory data reset via CWM recover
formatting cache
formatting system
I even went as far as to formatting my SD card to rule out the possibility of bad sectors..
Nothing is working...SOS :crying:

Are you referring to the Eagles Blood pre alpha? If so, did you follow their instructions to the t? I would suggest trying that again.
If that still doesn't work you may need to try flashing CWM again, or maybe using the G2x Batch Cleanup Tool to rewrite your partitions and starting from scratch

Essentially, it cleans your phone to a blank state (to put it very simply). Once it's finished cleaning, it flashes CWM. Then, you can use CWM to flash a ROM.
So, yes, it means no rom at first.
So what you need to do is put whatever ROM you want (as well as any additional files the dev says to use: Gapps, baseband fix, etc...) on your SD card, use the Batch Cleanup tool, then flash the ROM in CWM.
Remember, if you're using an Android 4.+ ROM (CM9, ICS, JB, etc...), you need to flash any GB-based ROM (CM7, Hellfire Phoenix, etc...) first, then flash the new ROM.
Also, here's the link to the Batch Cleanup tool's forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523

Ok so I've plugged my phone into the computer and the APX drivers aren't installing nor am I able to find them via windows update. Any suggestions?
Make sure you're putting the phone into apx mode. You should have the battery out and holding both power buttons down then plug in your USB cable.
Better yet here are the exact instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566681
As well, have you tried to flash any other ROM or kernel since that? You may want to flash a ROM then flash say, Faux' kernel, it uses a different method of writing the boot.img and may solve your problem. On a hunch I am thinking you're boot partition may be partly corrupt.

[Q] Q: Can not flash any roms on 4.0.4

I rooted my friends tablet gt-p5113 with 4.0.4. I used a different work around method to get the root to stick. I got clock work on but I can't seem to flash any roms on his tablet. I tried using 3 different roms already and I keep getting the same message with Andy on his back and his front door open with a red triangle saying can not open package or some thing along those lines. Any ideas?
I think flash stock firmware from for example www.samfirmware.com then begin again from the beginning !!!
When use a root file next time via odin untick auto reboot then reboot manual vol up+power then if question as fix recovery say yes

I'm kind of at loss. Would that mean that I would have to down grade to the 4.0.3. firmware?
The Tablet is already rooted. Using the method that you listed and using the latest clockwork mod file.
So may be try flashing another version of cwm as 6.0.1.0 or 6.0.1.2 or so via odin for example and make sure you are flashing right firmwares for your device specific model number
Make sure you have a proper root via app like root check basic and install supersu from market
Put the firmware in both internal and external sd and try flashing from both, may be one of them will work

I did install su. That's how I know I rooted it right. I'll try reflashing an updated firmware. Thanks for the help

Providing more info can get you better results, like rom /link, cwm version, procedures, this way others can help you diagnose your problem. A screen shot of"about tablet" is also very helpful.
