still on VBRMA2, want to go to latest stock OTA - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am currently running a stock VBRMA2 build which appears to have been rooted and tweaked a bit. At this point I just want to be on latest stock ROM.
What is the best way for me to get there (hopefully without having to wipe my phone)?

I dont knwo the best way to do this but I believe you can just flash the latest firmware via odin.

#1 Don't bump your own thread after an hour man, that is just uncool. We're not here to serve you and we'll answer your question when we get a chance.
#2 Yes, you should search around and you'd find this question answered a lot of places in most every phone forum.
I understand and I thought it just got buried in the topics that's all

I use NFX all of the time. There must have been something wrong on Sprint's end because it wouldn't let me update my PRL until yesterday. I never use the dialer code though...about phone/system update/update prl.

so i bought a g2x that has been flashed and all...

i traded my samsung galaxy s 4g phone for a g2x and the g2x is flashed and rooted. now there are a few problems with it. one manger one is that there is no market/play store icon anywhere im running on 2.3.7 model number is LG-P999
kernel version is 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected] and mod version is cyanogenmod-eaglesblood_build-2.8 now im not sure if everything is up to date. figured if someone can help me with this.
For the market and other apparently missing. You need to download the latest Google apps. The link is on some of the android development pages. I would look but iI'm on my phone.e

Go to eagles blood ROM 2.8 GB in Android development. Read thru it to get your gapps.
Using your phone , go to eagles blood website.
www.eaglesblood.com
Click on the download tab and select the phone that is P999... at the bottom of that page is the gapps download link.
Once you have downloaded Google apps, you can then install it using CWM. If you need more detailed instructions, they have them posted on their website. If you need more help , just ask. This is a pretty friendly forum.
Don't quote me. I'm probably wrong.

Go on cyanogenmod's website. They'll have flashable zips if you prefer to go that way.
LG and T-Mobile will be pushing the V21y baseband update over the air, so you'll be able to get it by going into the software update menu in Settings> About phone. This was posted in another thread about the updates - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362

No, the latest is March 2012 baseband but then you can't use any other custom ROM with that baseband so in a way you are up to date.

Its on you.
If you want a stock rom with newer baseband. Update
If you are a flash addict, keep what you have for now. Eventually T mobile will be doing OTA updates in coming weeks
P.S: Start thanking ppl, for a change, whoever helped you in this thread. Its not nice to ask help and not hit the thanks button. ^_^ Just saying.

You can update it if you want but you won't be able to flash any other custom rom beside KWES rom in dev section.

what about CyanogenMod 7? its what im using right now.
No go. You will be able to use it but your calling feature will be abnormal. That is static sound when you call or when some1 calls you. Basically defeats the purpose of having a phone.

That guide is fairly general in that it just refers to the 'latest version of CyanogenMod'. So yes as per the OP of the thread I linked you to you will need to install 3.32 firmware. You could install over your current ROM if you really wanted but I'd recommend a full wipe for a nice clean installation.
CM7 is Gingerbread based and CM9 is ICS based so yes you will end up with a newer version of Android, hence the need for the newer firmware.

Firmware isn't removed with the wipe so it doesn't matter too much. I would wipe, install new firmware, install ROM and you should be good to go :good:
Make sure you do a nandroid backup before you start anything, if things go pear-shaped you'll want it. Also make sure you have access to a copy of your current firmware, if you have to restore your nandroid backup AFTER installing the new firmware it won't work as the firmware will no longer match, so you'll have to roll that back too.

Sorry, I felt this deserved a separate thread, as it is not quite the same topic, and once someone does upload the stock flashable rom, it would make it easier for others to find.
