I currently run CM7 6.5.8 on old baseband. I am considering trying out a new ROM or two. I realize that to use CM9 or Oxygen I need to flash the new baseband – I undertstand that. However, I can flash PerfectPeso with my old baseband and flash the New BasebandFix by adfad666. My question is what does this New Baseband Fix do? If I flash PerfectPeso & the new baseband fix then decide I don’t like it, can I simply restore CM7 without worrying about the baseband? Or will I need to flash the old baseband back?
Also, there is no official install guide for PerfectPeso…can I assume it is the typical - wipe data, cache, then flash ROM then flash Baseband Fix?
Thanks for the help,
Baseband fix doesn't change baseband. You'll have to flash fix for every new baseband ROM you try but if you revert back to old baseband ROM then no need to flash baseband fix. Just flash ROM.
Yes its typical wipe data/cache/dalvik, all three.

just update baseband, Lg updated it for a reason =)
Use the guide in my signature
I flashed baseband using LG's official updater. The only downside is that it upgraded me to Gingerbread and destroyed my root ):, but luckily I used SuperOneClick to re-root and flashed the new baseband version of CWM which includes CyanogenMOD Nightlies!

I'm attempting to install the new Zmod Cyanogenmod 7.1 but am encountering problems with xrecovery unable to read the SD/card when installing. Supposidly the new version of xrecovery will fix my issue but when I looked at the thread listed "2.3 STOCK ROM" as a requirement.
Now I cant update to the official 2.3.3 rom as im on O2UK, but I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 (on baseband 0.52) so will I still be ok to update to the new version of xrecovery?
Also just a quick question as its been a while since I installed a new rom, it's baseband first (any .71?). My phone will still be rooted, busybox still installed, etc, as I've done all this before? Then install new .zip via xrecovery?
(I've already read the newbie threads so please don't just point me there, simple yes/no answers will suffice. I'm just a little confused about going from custom install to custom install.)
edit: could this be a problem with going from a 0.52 baseband to a 1.71? This thread talks about 0.54 but could it be something simiar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053221

So install the zmod 7.1 .zip through my current version of xrecovery first, then use flashtool to upgrade the baseband to .71, root and then install the new xrecovery (as in the first reply)?

I might give this a try first as at least I'll have a fully working x-recovery before I start. After I've installed it this way can I go back to my 0.52 baseband and CMod 7.0.3 if I want?

Well I installed xrecovery via the instructions on that link and my phone is now stuck on the SE loading screen. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid as my phone is not running stock 2.3.3. Can I have a fix please!
edit: Ok got it working by installing the .zip and flashing the .71 baseband. Thanks.
So, I had Froyo 2.2.2 and installed OpenOptimus. I Had to update the baseband for it to work, I did it and the phone works fine. I am very pleased with it, but i want to test mik's ROM for 2.3.5. Do i have to update the phone to 2.3.5 or just flash the zip? I see that it is for old baseband only. Can i return to the old baseband by wiping everything?
Please help me!
you can just flash the zip for mik's rom (but make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache)
to change to the old baseband:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530
no u dont need to update ur phone just flash but before flashing wipe all data, dalvick cache, cache, also format all data.
So, do I really need to downgrade the baseband? Or can I just do it like a normal flash?
And wich one is the old baseband?
I am new here, sorry for so many questions

Yes. V10 is old, V20 is new.
v10e: old baseband
v20g: new baseband

yes as long as you flash the old baseband
Look what i will do, step by step.
1)Wipe all data
2)Insert USB Cable (if that dosent work i get in recovery)
3)Install OLD baseband
4)Copy Cyanogen to SD Card
5)Flash ZIP from SD Card
6)Reboot
Right?

Thank me if it helped !!
So i have to currenlty flash to .71 baseband now and then only install 2.3.3 ROMs?or shld i flash aftr installing 2.3.3?
And is there a way to flash the basband using xrecovery?Problem is that my usb port is loose and dont knw when it will disconnect
And should i unlock the bootloader first?
or can someone tell me the best 2.1 ROM out there so that i dont have to flash to a new baseband till i get my port repaired
Guys currently i m on stock GB with francos kernel (2nd October) & want to flash cyanogen 6.5.8....
But it is not compatible with .35 based kernels so is there any way to downgrade to the old kernel other than flashing froyo through kdz....
I searched the whole forum but didn't found anything....
Plz tell me how to proceed??
1. flash baseband
2. flash ROM
3. flash kernel
OR
Any other sequence???
Normally, when you'll flash the rom, the kernel will be included in.
Search a bit for threads about baseband.
So which kernel is included in cyanogen????
& does this mean that my kernel will automatically revert back to old after flashing ROM????
The only way to use mik OS after flashing any 2.3.3 stock based ROM ( kernel is not the matter here ) other than KDZ is to flash a BASEBAND FIX given in the mik_OS main Thread but I think mobile data is disabled in that FIX. So, I think u're stuck bro without KDZ-ing !

Hi ! I am planning to Flash the OpenOptimus ROM in my P500, but have a confusion.....
I don't know whether my baseband is older or newer as per OpenOptimus' requirement..........I am currently running Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 V20C, will the baseband with my stock ROM support OpenOptimus???? AFAIK, it's based on V20C ROM, so it should support the baseband with my stock ROM........Still i am not sure..............PLZ REPLY.........
