Rooted froyo, now a question - LG Optimus Black

So I have an OB in front of me (wives) and I'm curious about the next step.
She had an LGP500 before this and I remember having to update the baseband from v10 to v20 for cm7 to work properly.
Is the OB the same, in that I need to manually flash a v20 baseband over the stock v10a one? (its on froyo)
Would updating via B2C change the baseband for me/upgrade to GB?

No .. I am using v20e with 622 now !
I got a little confused.
The 725 baseband i had from froyo (stock) is different from 725 GB?
I am running topogigi 1.7 (GB) and I did not flash any baseband.

I'm not a specialist but the GB baseband is named 0802 by LG but it seems similar to 0725 Froyo one.
I run an GB MOD with 0802 but on System settings > About Phone it appears at 0725.
its not necessary but topo advised us to flash a gb bb to use his gb rom

It works anyway, but this phone had too much BB issues (the one in 10b, with ghost calls and sms) I prefer not to risk...
2 minutes and the right BB is flashed, very suggested!
where i cand find the bb on 20e?

All the baseband can be found in [Baseband][P990] Complete Baseband
overview thread in development section
The v20e is not there, but there are the v20c/v20d etc.. and the v20s (725 and 512 don't give any problem most of the time)
So i'm sure you will find what you need

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.

Hello, I downloaded the V20M-Baseband.zip but there is no text to explain how to flash it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

upgrading baseband

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

[Q] baseband for V28e???

Which baseband should i use for ics v28e????
First, is there problem with your current baseband?
If everything is working without problems, i don't see any reason to flash baseband.
I'm using currently V20s baseband with V28G rom.
If you want you can flash V28e or V28g baseband from here: http://d-h.st/users/gueste/?fld_id=7336#files
Two files on bottom, filename tells which one is E or G
thanks dude...but now i shifted to topogigi's alpha rom..with v28g baseband and its working great...no drain at all..supersmooth.....
