I've been waiting for the gingerbread update for my T-Mobile Optimus T for so long. Googled for update today and here's what I found:
w w w. ehow. com/ how_12120364_download-android-23-lg-optimus-t. html
(just delete the spaces in the URL)
I am at work now and can't check whether this info is accurate. Does anyone know if the update has indeed been released?
Thanks.
Why use official when you have better roms like miks port on Cyanogen or SonyGen (Which I prefer)
Its false. I tried it and it does not work.

Can you, please, provide a link to a Gingerbread ROM that is fully functional with correct baseband? Thanks.
I'm on my phone so it's a bit hard but optimus t being the US version of p500h? It'll never officially get the gingerbread rom I heard somewhere.
Link of rom a currently use:

Appreciate your taking time. Here come n00b questions:
1) Will this work with Optimus T (P509). Couldn't find any info on which Optimus model this is for. AFAIK, P500 ROMs are no good for P509.
2) Any major issues?
3) It says the ROM uses the old baseband. What does it mean? Will 3G/4G work? Wi-Fi?
4) Oh, and will I be able to revert back to official firmware in case LG decides to release an official update?
Thanks.

1. Yes. All P500 ROMs are compatible with the P509 (but FWIW, you will lose the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling feature).
2. No. Read the known bugs list.
3. Wi-Fi and data will work with the old baseband (which is what you are using now).
4. Make a backup before you flash a new ROM (it is also possible to download the original firmware from LG).
1) why wouldn't the rom work on optimus t by the looks of google image its the same phone just renamed. I can check in the specs tomorrow (11:40pm here and class starting at 8:30am).
2) old baseband is what you want to keep. The new baseband has some sort of new feature which disables the Data transfer so you want the old baseband.
3) you can always get the original firmware back to your phone using the kdz updater thibgy which is made by LG but I highly doubt you wil want that. I'll link you up in the mornig if I've got time or maybe someone else will.
I noticed somene else replied and well I didn't answer the questions in order

IIRC ROMs for different Optimus One-based models (One, V, S, T) may not be compatible with each other as they work on different 3G bands/frequencies. This is what I heard so I just want to confirm. Thanks.
Can you, guys, also provide a link to a guide on how to backup and flash ROMs/firmware? I am relatively tech savvy when it comes to computers but an absolute noob when Android is concerned. Million thanks.
BOGUS as others have stated.
The below site lists all newly released LG roms and the 509 ain't on the list
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/agent_phonesw_notice_list.jsp
Optimus T and Optimus One have slightly different 3g basebands.
Fortunately, Andy and mik are in no hurry to support the new baseband and with the FD bug why would they.

They are not all compatible; only the Optimus T (P509) is compatible with the Optimus One (P500). I don't have a data plan, but AFAIK, there isn't an issue with 3G when using a P500 ROM on a P509 with T-Mobile US.
This guide covers most of the steps.

so im a little bit let down right now, after the update, i didnt get exactly what i expected. i went from 2.2 to 2.2.2, which i suppose any update is better than none, but i had been using the p500 2.3 kdz for a while now and was excited to see i may not have to manually input my APN settings everytime for my data and mms to work after a restore..
hopefully the p500 is a sign that well be recieving 2.3 eventually, just not right now lol
so I installed the V10S which broke the root ability even with Gingabreak I cannot get it to root.
Do you guys have any tips on what to do?
Also I would like to test 2.3 on my Optimus T because the canvas element should be accelerated and run HMTL5 based games faster.
I am currently developing a game and thus would like to test this speed improvement.
But honestly after spending days on the web I am more than confused about if there is a Android 2.3 rom for the US T-Mobile LG Optimus T which also runs stable and supports all functions including the Google apps.
Help to put an end to my noob level would be much appreciated !!!

Gingerbread for LG-P509?
MechanicaIMan:
I really like the information you have contributed here, I'd like to get my P509 running the same rom set up you have, but I'm not sure if I can because I updated my baseband when I flashed my current ROM. By the way is there anyway to manipulate the CPU to an ARMv7?
Here's my phone info:
Model: LG-P500 (actually a P509)
Android Version: 2.3.7
Baseband Version: LGP500AT-00-V20g-OPEN-COM-JUN-14-2011+0
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-cyanogenmod [email protected]))
CPU info: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 5 (v6l)
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7-02202012-NIGHTLY-OptimusOne
Build number: GWK74
Thanks in advance.
Somebody PLEASE answer....
like someone said earlier, i too was let down when i saw the update was for a 2.2.2!!
Is the Optimus T getting/has an "official" gingerbread update?
if so, please send link and or fastboot instructions. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom to install on my friend's Optimus One. I myself have ZTE Blade and I have been installing custom roms and that sort of stuff for some time so I know how this work, but I'm looking for a stable, plain and unrooted rom for my friend's phone as he is not the most tech savvy guy out there. I found the official 2.3.3 update from LG but I've been reading that it's very buggy. What would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Arnar.

I think most if not all custom roms are rooted. If you're looking for something stable, IMO go for oxygen v1.1. Old baseband though.

I guess I could just tell him to stay out of apps requiring Superuser access or even make him learn this stuff But I'm guessing LG have not released a less buggy version then?

Don't worry, the LG official gingerbread is not buggy. It's just bad.

One more thing... On ZTE Blade we have gen1 and 2 phones (same specs, different partition layout and radio if I understand correctly), certain roms will not work on gen1 phones and such. Does the optimus one have something equivalent to that? If i want to install Oxygen v1.1, like you suggested, is it as simple as rooting, installing custom recovery and flashing the rom?

By all means, yes!
But the O1 has 2 two basebands - v10xx and **** v20xx
If you wanna check which one you have go to -
settings>about phone
And there will be written the baseband version.
If its v10xx then you can proceed with the steps you've mentioned.
Read the sticky FAQ in this section for more details.

LG official gb has no bugs ,, the only problem is that it drains 1% battery every hour... whenever i wake up in the morning i notice that 6-8 % battery is drained... while cm7 roms drain only 2% per night btw if your friend is not techno freak then official gb is best as it has no bugs and you may flash franco.kernel for gb over official gb to give it more smoothness
I have seen alot Old Baseband Based Rom.zzzzz Only Ciaox and some others are using new baseband. I dun wanna flash back to old baseband, its kinda risky. ZZZZ
It should be easy to switch back to the old baseband if you did it already to upgrade. Just follow instructions exactly and you should be fine. If the developers don't want or have time to make their ROM compatible with the new baseband, they shouldn't have to. They have worked long days to provide us polished products and the least we can do is to not nag them to do something. Shouldn't take long just go back to the old baseband.
TY
Yeah, Kinda Risky To Go Back Old Baseband
Its simple and easy to shift baseband ..
Follow one rule to avoid bricking --never pull out battery whatsoever happens while changing baseband ..in d past week i have changed my baseband more than 35-50times ..its just a 2min process...
And making a v10 rom run on v20 is almost impossible so better change yur baseband else dont hope

Just use the mik's patch for newer baseband if you want to use CosmicXperia. I am currently using the patch, just to test and get the feel of it and it works perfectly.
Well unless you want 3G/data. which hasn't yet fixed. But anyways you can use wifi.
It's a good thing I still have the old baseband. But I do wanna try other roms for the new baseband too. Thanks for the link.
Hi all, I'm posting here because I haven yet gotten the privilege to post in the development section, although I've been following android development keenly. Okay, I'd like to bring it to the notice of the dev of NightlyFourE.. that I flashed the latest version of his ROM ie V4.3.2 yesterday on my Optimus One with the old baseband, and downloaded the old baseband fix from PerfectPeso's website (aspee's patch didn't work for me)
Everything worked fine, until I found out that data doesn't work after I disable it and again try to re-enable it.. once or twice it did.. and then the same thing. I tried rebooting too.
Not that I'm complaining, just wanted to bring it to the notice of the dev, he and the community might find this interesting
Upgrade to new BB
Have you tried aspee's old baseband fix instead,I've used that one on nearly every new baseband rom other than blackbird or cm9..look for fix in dev section.the title of the tread is old baseband fix

I am apprehensive updating to new baseband. So I used the old BB patch.. used the one from PerfectPeso's website because aspee's earlier patch didn't work. The new updated one does.

I'm a US T-Mobile user, the new CM nightly 20120303(#35 essentially) has working data now without patching for new BB. Old BB fix works too.

@Paulenski oh, so it was basically a bug in the previous nightlies, I assume. Awesome that they've made it work.
Ok I just started blogging on XDA and I have and Android phone which is obviously the LG OPTIMUS ONE.But unfortunately this phone isn't getting an official update from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich.So as I have seen on the internet many times does anyone know any good ROMs I can use?Please give the best possible one and latest one.And when telling me tell me anything that does not work.Apparently cameras and volume doesn't work on some so hopefully those bugs go.And while telling me add in how to download it and where with a link.Thanx!
go for gtr 5.0 download link on first page always follow instructions or you will end up with a brick also make sure your on the right baseband http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529777
Ok so the above is ICS right and what version e.g 4.0.3 etc. And are the instructions for downloading hard as I'm not too good with getting these updates AND are there any downsides for this ROM?I'm happy that camera works and volume too just need a clarification.

Look in p500 original android development section. You'll find everything there. Don't go for heavy themed/modded firmwares because they are unstable and in a week your phone WILL lag
