Nothing like beating a dead horse, but if you can please make a contribution to drew who is helping us by building a bug free .35 kernel (ie one where wifi works).
As promised here are the instructions on how to test the buggy partially working .35 kernel on NEW baseband. This will allow you to try out all of the new .35/NBB based Roms on XDA, this is the direction that everyone is headed.
Key Points.
1. The instructions are for users still on OLD baseband.
2. The instructions should work for both Thrive and Phoenix Users.
3. As best I can tell, the process should be reversible
a. You are NOT flashing a KDZ, you are flashing a patch, so by wiping data, you can go back to OLD BASEBAND and the .32 kernel.
b.DISCLAIMER, I have NOT tried this yet.
4. You will have phone and data, but you will NOT have wifi
a. There have been some phoenix users that cannot get data, but I cant tell if that if a phoenix problem or something else.
5. As always, I cannot promise or guarantee you anything. If you phone melts into a pile of goo, it is not my fault.
On to the actual instructions:
1.. Get official CM7
CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution
or (Oxygen http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1325386)
Both are .35 based and have active dev's on them. I had a glitch with Oxygen where no matter what, the ringer wouldnt sound.
2. Get the baseband patch (attached): original thread ([[Fixed][15-1-12]Old baseband fixed - xda-developers)
3. Get .35 kernel (attached)
3.a Put all 3 files on your SD card
4. Go into CWM
5. Wipe data
6. Flash CM7 or Oxygen
7. Flash the baseband patch
8. Reboot.
9. Let everything fully load (colors should be off)
10. Go back into CWM
11. Flash Joban .35 kernel.
12. Reboot
Thats it.
I assume you know all the other stuff about backing up your data etc.
Enjoy.
Why is my kernel posted here without my permission? And why is it even posted here if it breaks the rules?
OK, until someone compiles a well-behaved kernel and provides source, here's a simple wifi-enabled solution I came up with several days ago.
Rules:
1. Don't PM me with personal help requests or bug reports. This is simply a compilation of LG P505 stock gingerbread kernel and aspee's baseband patch on XDA. I claim no credit beyond putting it together and online.
2. Don't mirror this file. I want to keep track of the number of downloads.
3. Don't publish a different thread, here or elsewhere, linking to the file directly; link to this post instead.
The consequence of of failing to meet rules above would be that I cease sharing my findings with the community. Since most of you used my rooting method, you probably value my contribution and don't want this to happen.
Instructions:
1. Be on old baseband (= don't upgrade to official gingerbread via KDZ flashing).
2. Download P505 kernel and old baseband patch to your SD card.
3. Boot to recovery.
4. Install a gingerbread custom rom.
5. Install the patch.
6. Reboot.
I tested CM7 nightly, blackbird and oxygen.
3G, wifi, gps, camera worked out of box; didn't test UMTS data.
Oxygen had the blackscreen bug, but the other two didn't have it.

Very cool. Thank you.
Just in case.
Can this also be used on the Thrive?
I'll try this on my thrive right now... I'll let you know in a few minutes if it works for me.
Edit: Flashed CM7 nightly 34 for P500, then I flashed the P505 Kernal and old baseband patch. Phone booted up fine, but I didn't have data, and I seemed to have the blackscreen bug. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
Thanks.
Can you tell me if the instructions I posted work for you?
I need Joban's .35 Kernal to test out your method. If you could link me to it via PM, then I'll test for you.
Do u still need Joban's .35 Kernel? i can upload it for you
please do
