First off, this ROM is designed for those who upgraded to and kept Baseband LS670MVC_60401001 from the VC update.
I have no idea how this ROM will operate on V8 or V9 Radio.
Also, this rom has a custom initrd and kernel. Do not flash any other kernels, including public Xionia Releases.
The Xionia Kernel on this ROM has a custom initrd. New public Xionia releases will delete this initrd.
Old kernels are incompatible with the new initrd. It's a catch-22 really. Thanks LG
This ROM is not meant to be used with ANY part of Lego ROM or any other ROM!
If you have any problems with this ROM, do not report them if you have mixed and matched files!
This ROM may or may not require a factory reset.
You are welcome to try to switch to my ROM withour wiping /data, however if you experience any errors please wipe /data, and verify the error continues to exist before reporting them. You should still wipe your dalvik-cache

Everyone who donates
Everyone who helps test
Everyone who enjoys Xionia Kernel or VCRom
(and I'm not certain if my phone's happy at that frequency, so I'll pass for now)
The baseband version number, despite what your phone actually has, is controlled by an apk and not the actual radio for this phone (not typical to normal phones). It should run fine. In all of my time developing I've never seen a version of a ROM that doesn't work with a previous radio version. Without going into detail, there is a well known developer/hacker who absolutely refuses to update his radios yet continues to pump out amazing ROMs.
Long story short, I've yet to see a ROM thats contingent on radios and vice versa. You should be fine. In fact .... I'll bet if you flashed this you're baseband would magically say you're on VC
I think what zefie is saying is he hasn't tested it on anything else so flash now or forever hold your peace.

Baseband showed new version even when I nandroid'd back to before VC so there is no way.. it even ignored the build.prop version
Page 2 of the update thread with my rom files will explain my theory on the radio.
You are welcome to flash on V8 or V9 radio, let me know if it works. If it doesn't or something is weird, I warned ya
Worse case scenario on V8 or V9 radio is either no service or random popups of hands-free (like V11 does on V9-based roms). Nothing a nandroid restore wouldn't fix.

I wish we could. I can get it when Sprint passes OTA updates but the problem is there is no safe way to flash RADIO.img with custom recovery. And we can't test it because 1 failure = permanent brick. So yeah...
