No you don't have to. Official LG ROMS are for the new baseband only.

going to flash this rom via kdz.

Hello,
I want to manually flash V20E_00.kdz (using KDz...russian) which is the euro open unbranded firmware. My phone was bought from Vodafone Romania (with a branded firmware) and unlocked after few weeks. In present I have Mik's CM7 v6.5.7 with ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0 on the phone. I only flashed with KDZ a branded Vodafone RO firmware (downgrading, I made update with lg tool at v20g and at that time was not possible to root).
Q: Is it possible to flash v20e (unbranded, open eu) on my phone that had innitially a branded firmware withot killing him? (i don't have money ))

[Q] Vodafone AU FW?

Hi Guys,
My friend just got an X10i with Optus Firmware.
He uses Vodafone, so I was wondering if there is a Vodafone Australia Firmware out there to flash over the optus to enable OTA updates through Voda.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Heaps

It looks like the latest X10i for anything close to a generic Australia FW would be the UK Generic X10i Firmware (R2BA020).
Though we're all up to R2BA026 now.
Will I be able to update UK Generic X10i Firmware (R2BA020) afterwards?
Thanks heaps.

ANYWAY... any voda firmware out there I can use to flash my friend X10?
If not, what generic FW would I use, the UK one huh?
Will SE Update software let me download the latest update afterwards?
Yes mate, you'll be able to update when the uk ota is sent out.

Make sure you're connected to your wifi as the update will be 150mb or so.
Alternatively, you can download Sony Ericsson update Service SEUS and update it that way.
If there is no update available on your carrier then you should probably try debranding - although I'm not sure if it voids the warranty of the phone in your country.
Got a stupid question here What is debranding?

R1FB001
R2BA020
R2BA023

Some of them are SO-01B only or X10a/X10i only.

Debranding is basically giving you a generic device rather than for example being on Orange, in which they have put apps on that they want, ( in my case it was traffic tv).
If you have a branded phone then you do not get updates as fast as a generic one

[Q] A few Questions

Hello,
I have p500(indian) on old baseband and want to upgrade to new bb using lgmdp.. following are a few questions that i dint find an answer to.
1.what is the risk of having a bricked device if i turn off lg virtual modem..?
2. th lg virtual modem is shown as lge android platform usb modem.. is it the same..?
3. What rom and recovery should i be on to flash new baseband?
4. can i flash cm9 first and then new baseband?
5.my recovery takes around 5 seconds to show the options... it wasnt like this before.. is this normal? im on the recovery i firrst installed(amonra 1.2 the one with bad boot message)
6.before flashing a recovery zip or cwm from rom manger what precautions should i take?
7.In rom manager if i say install recovery.. it shows p500 and p500(oldbb) so if i flash old bb now and then upgrade.. will it work?
8. if flash the one without (oldbb) will my phone get bricked..?
Thanks for your answers in advance.. p500 was the best phone i got in my life.. and its not because of lg.. its because of its awesome community.!
> when i was on stock as you
> 1st I rooted ,this is A MUST 1st to do
> 2nd flash clockworkmod or amonra.. but cwm would be good for starters, just download rom manager at play store.. and u'll get it
> 3rd since ur on old baseband.. i suggest you flash cm7 rom or the on i modded then flash the old baseband fix so you dont need to upgrade
> incase you want to upgrade so u can also use cm9
> now is the time to use lgmdp .. Em not sure.. but i think its different ..virtual modem wasnt there when i switched baseband so i did not disabled any..
i think it good
Can anyone answer please..? cant find answers to these questions.. and neko man i think you misunderstood my question.. it partly answered one that is lg virtula modem maybe does not play an important part.. ppl please answer..
!
Well there are many tutorials out there on how to get new bb. Just follow them step by step. You have to flash it first then you can get CM9. Forgive me but some of your question sound like this "Will my phone work if I submerge half of it in water?". Don't worry just do as you're told on the tutorials All the best!

There is definitely a risk, and you have to follow the instructions clearly to avoid any risks. To be honest here, I bricked my phone thrice (yes! 3 times) using kdz updater. That's why I'd suggest that you don't upgrade to new bb using kdz updater

Hello,
I have p500(indian) on old baseband and want to upgrade to new bb using lgmdp.. following are a few questions that i dint find an answer to.
1.what is the risk of having a bricked device if i turn off lg virtual modem..?
2. th lg virtual modem is shown as lge android platform usb modem.. is it the same..?
3. What rom and recovery should i be on to flash new baseband?
4. can i flash cm9 first and then new baseband?
5.my recovery takes around 5 seconds to show the options... it wasnt like this before.. is this normal? im on the recovery i firrst installed(amonra 1.2 the one with bad boot message)
6.before flashing a recovery zip or cwm from rom manger what precautions should i take?
7.In rom manager if i say install recovery.. it shows p500 and p500(oldbb) so if i flash old bb now and then upgrade.. will it work?
8. if flash the one without (oldbb) will my phone get bricked..?
Thanks for your answers in advance.. p500 was the best phone i got in my life.. and its not because of lg.. its because of its awesome community.!

The only and most secure thing i have to prefer u to flash official froyo 2.2.2 on ur phone first... if u already using it then its ok... n if not then search a official froyo rom in zip format for flashing it via cwm recovery... after then... use lg pc suite for upgrading it to official 2.3.3 n ur phone will automatically updated to new bb too.
EDIT: Just clarify me what rom n recovery are u using...!?? What android version and baseband shows on ur phone....
Type in phone dialer to get BB details
