upgrading baseband - LG Optimus 2x

Hi,
was just about to upgrade the baseband on my 2x, but for some reason it's not working.
My old baseband was 725 and wanted to try BASEBAND 1120 - P990 ( SU660 Porting )
I downloaded SmartFlashTool_P990.exe + drivers and installed the 4 files in order from biggest to smallest.
When the LG logo started to flash (after each SW FLASH install), i removed and reattached to cable+"volume down" to install next file.
R375_SIC.fls
AENEAS_FW.fls
slb.fls
psi.fls
When I was done with the baseband flash, I installed lasted RC of [CM9][ROM][MAR07] Nova HD Plus.
Checked "about phone" and it still say I got baseband version 725
what went wrong?

If you read the first post carefully, you will find that the author describes that he has compiled with his old archive....but that has to be 823 normally. Anyway, if your communications and other radio related stuff is working alright....why think about the information in the BB column.

thanks, didn't notice that.
Still don't know why I was not able to upgrade to 823

This is not true, I think. It just states this for the update script in clockworkmod. The about phone should state something like 20111120

?
What does baseband do?

by changing your baseband you can possibly get better signal, better incall voice sound, but if you don;t suffer from any of those problems than don;t change it

bb
IF your BB and RIL mach, then you might get better batterylife.
Check your stock BB and ril. it must work best

And to match you RIL, there's a great app called GetRil .

Baseband and ROMs
Hi,
I have 725 baseband. Can I flash CM ROM or MIUI ROM?
Should I have a specific baseband before I flash a different ROM?

725 seems to be the best for cm 9 (at least for me ) , so i would keep it

No you don't, in some case the author of ROM specify the better BB, also you can use Get Ril to match ril and bb, this is usefull for battery life and best signal too

Strange problem with RIL and GB custom ROMs

I have Froyo v10d baseband and after flashing any custom rom when i try to match ril with baseband (with GetRIL) all goes wrong. Well not all but crucial thing. After reboot there`s no more screen with dialpad to enter simcard PIN so I cant get network signal. I`ve tried all 3 Django`s rom, 2 of Gueste and new Thanatos.
Sorry about english, I hope i`ve been clear enough.
Sorry guys I forgot to say that I install v10d ril whit GetRIL. After reboot there is as on attached pics.
Hi,
0823 BB is sometimes very problematic, and not suitable for everybody (cf second image).
I think that if you want to use latest custom roms, and especially v20o, you'd better flash v20m baseband, which has the same numeric name as yours but is clearly not the same. I personnally used v20l baseband without big problem, and I just upgraded to v20m one.
I just read that v20m baseband is not compatible with Cyanogenmod (only Froyo BB must be used), but flashing a BB is just a 5 minutes work.
You have all the BB you want in the Great Temasek shared folder here (in optimus p990 folder): http://www.mediafire.com/temasek
For V20m, you have for .fls files to flash, beginning with biggest file and following with decreasing size.
There is a how to text file in archive.

It's the same issue I had when trying to use GB RIL with CM7 (latest KANG).
I have the same baseband you have, and it works well with RIL 725 v10d.
With CM7 Kangs everything works fine.
So when I flash custom GB ROM can I leave RIL from him as on first attached pic 0725 v20l? Somewhere I read that different RIL cause more battery drain.

Why not simply try and test? can't say it for you, and changing Ril is fast...
I had the same issue.
I currently have v20M flashed through KDZ updater, so I have 725 v20m BB and I'm afraid to have radio problems with CM7.
I tried using V20l RIL and didn't work, but using v10d 725 RIL worked but I reverted to stock rom for now because maybe I'll have some problems.
If you tell me it's ok to use v10d 725 RIL I'll try CM7 again.
Cheers!

Its not just ok to use v10d 725 RIL, it is a must to use it. Why? CM7 isn't compatible with GB RIL. You can use GB BB but not GB RIL. It will cause unknown baseband if u use GB RIL.

[Q] Temasek cm7kang-O2x-P204-50

yesterday i've installed the Temasek cm7kang-O2x-P204-50 ROM. I like it, thx Temasek. The Rom has a 405 BB and i want to update this BB. Which is the best BB? How can i get this BB and which steps are necessery to install the BB. need to wipe?
Thxs for the answer.
I use the instructions here:
*doh* I cant post urls...
Just google: optimus 2x baseband
It's a link in the modaco's forums.
I get the baseband and the RIL from temasek's mediafire folder..
Unfortunatelly, last time I installed 824 BB + v20f RIL, my 3G connectivity failed and I was 2G only. I reverted to 725 + v10d RIL and 3G is up again.
According the the dev forum 824 BB has better sound quality but drains the battery more. The 824 BB is taken from SU660 (LG Optimus 2X SU660, which is O2X for the Korean market), the hardware is the same, only few buttons missing. So you don't have to worry for compatibility. SU660 824 BB is compatible with P990 (O2X).
A note: Backup you apps, settings, etc. Because AFAIK Smartflash erases the /data/data partition.
I just install this ROM too.
But I cant sync my contacts in google. I also cant add my google account.
can anyone help me?
and how i install a baseband, need to wipe?

[Q] How to from -Stock Froyo- to -CM7-

Hi guys, just bought an O2X yesterday and I want to be sure of the steps on how to take my Froyo to CM7 or any other GB for that matter, so here's what I think it should be done:
1.- Root the phone (seems Gingerbreak works on this phone with froyo?)
2.- Install CWM (Can install from ROM manager unless I wanna be able to flash from internal memory in which case I should install the modded vesion?)
3.-Change baseband?? (this is my biggest concern, I'm on 1035.21)
4.- Flash rom + gapps if needed
Please guys if you can confirm my thoughts on all the 4 steps it'd be much appreciated
_BONUS QUESTION_
Is the hdmi and camera working completely or is the stock froyo better on those aspects, as I don't see a thread for official CM7 I'm guessing I should just download from download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990 ?
Thanks again.

You are almost right there m friend.
There is an unofficial CM7 thread out there by Temasek and MisjudgedTwat....it is more than what you can ever see.For CM7 ROMs, choose Kernels by Temasek or by MisjudgedTwat or by Vadonka.
If you are looking at Stock based ROMs, then go for DjangoManouche1.3 beta16. Stock based ROMs + HP or Gueste Kernels.
for the Baseband,you have to come out with the full version number ...what you have mentioned is not complete.Try V20Q for the BB with V10 series RIL...Normally, CM7 comes with a RIL which is enough. Install GetRIL app from the play store and you can change RIL if it is not compatible. For the Stock based ROMs, you can flash the V20Q Base band + v20Q RIL(both are 725 stuff)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer. Now the baseband thing got me a little confused, if I go for official CM7 which will come with a RIL I'd have to install a matching baseband. Can I do that afterwards or do I have to change the baseband first?. I remember with my O1 I flashed a rom and got no service because I was on wrong bb, and flashing the bb fixed it. I just wanna be sure it's fixeable if I mess up
btw.
BB version: 1035.21_20110602

Look at this thread...it has all the BB related things.You can flash the BB which is V20Q which is the latest for O2X (your choice as it is the service provider,region,device and so on)and this is the best as you will see in the thread which has a poll. you can then flash the ROM with the three wipes...dalvik,user data and cache.Dont forget to backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup pro or any other app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658047
you can then use the GetRIL app to choose your RIL...which is normally with the ROM.Best way would be flash the BB and then flash the ROM(to save time). Flashing the BB will wipe the complete data. Take a backup through CWM before.even if ou have an issues with wifi,mobile data 3G, dont worry to choose the correct RIL and reboot.
if you have any issues, wipe the three wipes and reflash the ROM.normally, you wont have any issues....just do it...
I am only trying to help...dont blame me for bricking ur phone...follow instructions and we all have a great device...YOU WILL TOO

Thanks again man, I've a better idea now. I'll keep using my phone with stock rom for a week to have something to compare to and then go crazy trying roms
I know everything I do with my phone is my full responsibility so no worries there.

Hi,
I've got massive battery drain when mobile data is enabled with RIL (0218 - 10b) that comes with 7.2
Baseband is from v20q stock rom, and ril from 20q is not working.
Any recomended BB/RIL combination with this near (voodoo sound patch in kernel please) perfect ROM?
thanx,

thanx for nice intentions, but I've read that post months ago, and obviously didn't find the solution for this cm 7.2 ROM that refuses to work with RIL from 20q... because on stock 20q with BB and RIL from that same stock ROM no massive drains.
EDIT: OK I'll try froyo baseband and ril and hope for even better stability/performance than stock GB bb/ril combination..

"Months ago"? I doubt that as I created the thread 5 weeks ago
But I see you already found the answer, yes you need a Froyo RIL for the v20 GB Basebands for CM ROMs.

[Q] Help.....3G net work is not working

yesterday i flashed a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662
After finish flashing. i found that the 3G network is not working....but the sim card is work. i can make a call or receive call ( that mean 2G is work), The icon of the signal near the battery , it show "H" but it did not have upload and download.
here are some informations of my phone:
Android version : 2.3.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110218
ril: v20s Europe
did i miss something or i do something wrong:crying::crying:
please help me
It seems, that you have an pretty old Baseband ("1035.21_20110218" which might be good for CM), but DM is stock-based.
If you flashed DM 1.2 the V20q baseband (0725) is recommended, because its based on V20q.
IIRC the 1.3 and 1.5 RC versions are based on V20s, so the V20s baseband would be recommended.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You can find out if your baseband and RIL are matching with the GetRIL app.
See fore more info the Complete Baseband overview thread

Mate,
until DM 1.3RC2 it was still the v20q sources and only the 1.5 series are all V20S sources....but u usually find the related RILs in the Aroma installer...Q,S,C RILs are part of the 1.5 series.
but the best way is to use GetRIL or LG RIL app to change your RIL to suit the BB
