Background: I'm a programmer by trade, but completely new to Android. I've had my AT&T Thrill 4g for a few months now, and am just getting into this scene, so please forgive noob mistakes. I'm posting this both to fill my "10 posts before you can do anything useful on XDA" quota, and in case others find this useful. I also hope you will correct me or make any suggestions you think of.
My Phone: I have an LG Thrill 4g p925 on AT&T in the United States. I currently have baseband v21e from the O3D forums in order to have the latest Gingerbread. My understanding is that the hardware of the two phone's is identical, and that the software is pretty much interchangeable. I can downgrade to US-based Froyo or the v20p GB radio easily enough if need be.
The Goal: I love Cyanogenmod, and hope to get it running smoothly with no wifi issues. My favorite CM7-based rom is currently pandaball's, available both for the O3D (p920) and Thrill (p925).
The Problem: Installing the p925 build of CM7 Release Client 3 (RC3) cannot recognize my v21e (GB) baseband. Therefore, I can't get mobile data or even edit my APNs.
My understanding from this post is that the problem is due to the fact that the p925 CM7 builds were designed to work with the Froyo radios.
Possible Solution? I am going to try installing the p920 version and see if that helps. See this post.
Other Issues:[B/] Wifi has been terrible for me on older builds that worked for some reason or another, but that was before I knew much about basebands.
I'll post updates or edit this post as I figure things out ...
Welcome man!! I love the 20p baseband. No issues with it.
But we have a few major issues with cm7.
One that makes me swith back to stock based is in call echo.

Just saw on the g2x forum that official gingerbread is avalible for it. That hopefully means we shouldn't be that long after. Or, is it T-mobile that's making that firmware? Anyhow, it shouldn't be that hard to make it work on our phone. Atleast till LG releases theres.
Anyway, what's your thoughts? Should someone try to fix this for our device? Should be relativity easy. And if it is tmo that's making the FW, then I guess mkv support and such is gone. Pauls Gr1 is probably better in every way except maybe stability, which should interest someone atleast.
Looks gash to me, Gingerbread userspace atop Froyo kernel.
Just read Paul O'brien's tweet: "v21e rolling to the G2X... better late than never eh?"
Hopefully the update voor de 2X will follow soon.
Fingers crossed

Ive been using the GR1 from modaco site and it damn smooth, cant wait till other devs get there hands on it to tweak and kernel it, it will be MEGA
Some Italian site had the news of gb release in UK, anyone can confirm?

Don't worry optimus brothers and sisters... You aren't missing out on much! Its not an official update, by that I mean its not complete or supported by T-Mobile USA. As stated it still has a froyo kernel and the only thing that changed for me was faster GPS lock and faster boot time, otherwise cm7 is still the way to go. Also comes with stupid asop camera and only 2.3.3
I'm tired of LG!

Just wondering if this had anything to do with the class action lawsuits.
Anyone in the UK think we can return the handset under the sale of goods act as it said Upgradable to GB on the box but is still not upgradable?
Was just wondering if anyone else was bored with their Captivate.
The next "big" thing will be when Samsung/AT&T decide to give us our last update for this phone. Then what?
I stopped depending on AT&T after the whole froyo fiasco. I've been a flash-aholic ever since and can't see myself ever going back.
Once Samsung releases the source code for GB, custom roms will only be even better.
Thx devs!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
If you haven't ever flashed a custom rom then I can see how boredom could set in. I have been a flashoholic since the first month I got the phone. Tried out fixed 2.1 roms, then all the original 2.2 roms, then CM7 on one phone and 2.3.4/2.3.4 roms on my second cappy. The ONLY WAY any phone will be better is the SGS2 when it comes out. While at a ATT store I tested my cappy running g CM7 OC/uv'd to 1400Mhz against the newest Motorola and my phone was just a Tad faster out of three speedtest and CPU test I performed. I showed it to the att workers and they were surprised how good mine works compared to the Motorola that has dual core cpu's. So I WONT BE giving up on my Cappy until SGS2 comes out and then it will be my backup fo sho. Secondly if you become a flashoholic it is like having a NEW and improved phone almost every day. Thanks to CM7 and Apex

Don't get me wrong, I've flashed more than my share of roms. Maybe it's time to try my hand at themeing.

nice now we have figure out how pull out baseband. is this a nandroid dump if it is I don't think its possible.
I need a help here
The nitro uses a qcom chipset, the thrill uses a omap chipset. What do you plan on accomplishing with the nitro dump?
The baseband for the modem
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
The nitro has a LTE modem, whereas the Thrill has HSPDA, not all 4g being equal... unfortunately I think we're still stuck...

however it can be useful we can borrow some apks themes and it should has hspda
modem too coz it gets H+ speed where ever LTE is not available here is thing optimus 3d has 3g modem not H+ we still able get it why not nitro should have H+ and LTE both
The question is whos gonna do it who is gonna risk their phone?

it makes sense in theory... But first I think we need an easier way of flashing base band...

Lte uses another hardware radio, so the nitro would use 2 seperate chips for signal

I agree with Trekfan..., the way we have to flash BaseBands right now, is very difficult, if you don't have the guide down don't do it, you'll definatelly brick your thrill

I will be getting a new phone in january, this means I will be able to start risking the thrill and see where we can go...we will have nice roms coming.
I know a guy that make a 1click flash baseband. Lemme shoot him an email. I was gonna learn from him how to make one but we've both been too busy to meet up. I'll shoot him an email and see if he has time to develop one.
i'm all for one click change, make it happen please
I am deodexing .apks and framework right now, so I can compare O3D and Nitro's system, after that gonna try to build a bootable ROM using Nitros system files. But after watching some youtube reviews, it seems like the entire interface is the same laggy **** LG interface we have on our devices, so I am not very excited about getting something better than what we already have.
I was checking with LG on the facebook. They confirmed it is coming for LG THrill 4G. NOt sure if this is real or they are trying to pacify us.

Sounds like the same story, just different wording.
Sounds like the typical uninformed LG rep.
I hate LG so much and AT&T
If you don't want to wait for an update,the Optimus 3D already has official GB update.
I installed it. Lost my 4G,but works fine.
Sounds like BS...

I got a Thrill 4G as a spare phone with no sim card.
Are you saying I can just go in and install the gingerbread update onto this with no problem?
I don't care about 3G/4G as it's not a phone to me. (Aside from GrooVeIP)
You get 3G. Just not Foux G which isn't really 4G anyway. I rarely pull more than 1.5 down so I'm pretty much getting 3G speeds anyway
Just got the update notification, currently running and quite happy with GB v20b. No rush for me to update to GB v20c. Thought some might be interested.
Cheers

I totally see what you mean.
The title threw me off.
There's a V20B_00.kdz available now.
If' it's rootable and runs on AT&T frequencies, I'm using it as a base. Screw V20C. xD
WOAH! V20B_00.kdz seems to be PURE LG.
No bloatware or anything.
Not rootable yet though.
I'm going head on into this. The most LEGIT Lg rom yet.
Rootable or not. Gb without the bloatware sounds awesome

Forget it.
They aren't rootable.

Don't worry. A ROM is in the works. Gingerbread of course.
I figured I have been watching. i played with it last week but got no where. I have to say I like that LG better then my Galaxy for some things for sure. The keyboard is way better then my S II
And why can we not use the Roger's baseband? Different radio or frequencies or what? I'm just a layman on this, but at first thought, I'd expect that it might work. Just wanting to know, to learn.

Yea link please. I'm still having baseband issues and want to reupgrade anyway.
Is the baseband a set of files like in the system folder. I'm think with a bit of tweaking they should run on 21A.
The issue I have is that the signal keeps dropping of on the 21A rom but it is fine on the 20A.
