Umm did I miss the post about the kernel somewhere? Or are you still working on it and just released the baseband?

 

[joban]

Dont flash until kernel .35 released!

 

[donavan]

yeah I wasn't planning on flashing this yet just wondered if I had missed the kernel somewhere.

hahah wow I'm not smart. I tried flashing Jobans nbb.zip because i was too lazy to read. XD

JS i have a LG Thrive, and this times out and says "Emergency Ready!"

 

[iosdemolisher]

forgive me, but wat does flashing a new baseband do

Do I have to do this on my phone as well?

base band is for frequency for the phone to communicate on. the reason for the new base band is probably because of 4G network. now you can choose old or new. but you wont get new roms with old bb.

now as far as i can tell on who would need to flash new bb this way are the one that didnt choose to get the official GB update. so everyone that has rooted there froyo and have been playin with roms, and dont want to upgrade and deal with rooting again will have to flash this way.
if you have GB 2.3.4 you should just have to root it get recovery and then youll beable to flash roms and the new kernel.

anyone do correct me if i am wrong , or confirm if i am not off my rocker

I also have a thrive, it says this when trying to download the IMEI....

It happens after the "Choose your phone, click Connect" part of your instructions

Hey joban could you update this so I could install your new awesome .35 kernel? Thanks

 

[LifesGoodPhoenix]

get LG mobile support tool and upgrade to GB
root it
flash CWM or TWRP recovery
put rom and kernel on sd card
boot into recovery and flash, be sure to reboot between flashes. yes you can reboot to recovery, to count as reboot.

if you need clearer more indepth instructions go to proper HOW TO. or thread


if ive helped hit thanks button.

What if i'm on joban's .32 kernel?

 

[LifesGoodPhoenix]

get the LG mobile support tool and upgrade to GB.!!!(safest and easiest way to get nbb)
rooting it is pretty easy. page 7 or so in the EASIEST WAY TO ROOT PHOENIX\THRIVE thread i have a post for a link on how to do it with superone click.

 

[donavan]

is that a verified way to root on the new update? If so I will update the how to so that it has those steps included.

 

[temwt2]

Well I had no problems with those instructions for my Phoenix after I upgraded to the stock gingerbread. I have been rooted since last week.

 

[LifesGoodPhoenix]

Confirmed. I am rooted stock 2.3.4

My kid has this phone (I HTC so I really not that up to date on LG roots and processes) and I want to upgrade his baseband so I can flash a newer ROM. With this method will I be able to update it?Also what kernel will I use if I do this? Joban's kernel is based on old baseband right? Also could you link the LG tool.

You can get the tool from LG's support site ... however be warned if you decide to go to the newbaseband and jobans kernel will infact not work completely and raeyne has bailed on her kernel I guess so right now ROMing with the new base band is iffy, but work is being done to get a new kernel that is community supported for the .35 source code in hopes of getting ICS to run on our phones.

What would you suggest? I wanted to flash some of the new ROMS but if there is no good kernel then what's the use?
